Hey everybody, thank you for joining me today.

Thank you for taking the time to diligently seek the Lord, right? And I'm gonna say what the Bible says happens when you do that, right? The Bible says he's a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. So guess what? Expect to be rewarded today in the mighty name of Jesus, amen? Come on, so yesterday I made a post about faith and it got a lot of response. So was thinking about it and what I'd like to do today, I'd like to expand upon that a little bit. And I know it's gonna bless you. I know it's gonna bless you mightily, amen?

So here's what the post said it said this real faith ain't hoping God will heal you or even knowing that God's able to heal you It's being full of joy because you know, it's already done because God who cannot lie has promised it already Right just simply believe right believing is faith Hebrews 11:1 says faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen right Mark 11:22 have faith in God faith is believing that we got

something we can't see. It's believing that we got something we can't feel even though we can't see it, even though we can't feel it, we know it's a done deal, right? That's the kind of faith that brings deliverance. That's the kind of faith that brings deliverance. Come on, let me add this while we're at it. What's coming out of your mouth? You know, what's coming? Are you crying about and glorifying what the devil's doing to you? You know, The Bible says death and life are in the power of the tongue, right? Words kill, words give life. They're either poison or they're fruit, but you decide, you decide, right? So again, are you

crying about? you glorifying what the devil's doing to you or are you confessing what the living Word of God says? You know, what the Lord's already done for you, right? Faith confession, it's always a joyful confession, right? It confesses that we got money before it's arrived. It confesses perfect healing while there's still pain in the body. It confesses victory while defeat seems like certain to everybody else in the world, right? Your confession, again, is based on the living Word of God, right? I know who I trust.

I'm fully persuaded that He's not only able to make good, but He's making good now in my case. Can you say Hallelujah? So right now believe even though you're in pain. Believe even though you tried to walk but you couldn't. Keep on believing. Keep acting on your faith. It's believing that drives out the pain. It's believing that lifts people out of wheelchairs, right? The unbeliever says, Let me feel and then I'll believe. God says, no, believe and then I'll let you feel. Real faith believes without being able

to feel. We're healed according to our faith, not our feelings, right? Feeling comes after your faith has been acted on, right? So don't look for feeling. No, right now look for healing in the mighty name of Jesus. Faith for healing is believing absolutely we're healed in spite of things like pain, in spite of things like weakness, right? It's simply believing we got whatever it is we prayed for before seeing it and before feeling it. That's exactly what John meant in 1 John 5:14 and 15.

He said this and this is the confidence the assurance the privilege of boldness which we have in him We are sure I said sure that if we ask anything make any requests according to HIS will in agreement with his own plan He listens to and he hears us and since right since we Positively know that he listens to us and whatever we ask. We also know with settled and absolute knowledge hallelujah that we have been

Granted us as our present possessions the request made of him You don't have to wait or see to see or feel anything believe you got it now in the mighty name of Jesus Why don't you do that right where you are right now lift your hands I said lift your hands wherever you are right now and receive that blessing in the mighty name of Jesus Come on prayers are being answered now bodies are being healed right now Depression is lifting right now in the mighty name of Jesus addictions being broken

now in the mighty name of Jesus. Come on, receive it. Receive it. Come on, hallelujah. And I'll praise Him for it in the name of Jesus. So let's expand upon that a little bit. Let's expand. Let's go to Hebrews 11:6 It says, So without faith, it's impossible to please God. You know, when you got people, say to me, You Shouldnt

listen to these faith preachers listen it doesn't say it's hard to please God without faith no it says it's impossible to please God without faith so people get this attitude you know that's taught in so many churches today you know well if God wants to do it he can do it you know it's in his time let me ask you something if you had that same attitude about your salvation what would happen no you know well if God wants to save me you know I'm ready for him to save me whenever he wants to save me

You know, listen, you'll go to hell because you're because you're not saved in God's timing you're saved when you act and you carry out your faith to receive salvation, The Bible says if you believe in your heart and you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord What you will be saved Come on. That's Romans 10:9 So so the responsibilities on us, the responsibilities on you It's on me to take that thing God gave us called what called FAITH and put it in the action to receive our salvation

Well, it's the same for everything you receive from God. It's all accessed by faith, you know without faith It's impossible to please God not difficult to please God Impossible to please God and let me add this right Faith don't ignore the problems. It doesn't ignore God gave us faith to deal with the problems God gave us faith to move mountains, You're your mountain whatever it is right now. Yeah, it's real but God's faith inside of you moves every

Mountain and it calms every troubled see in your path today in the mighty name of Jesus I said today in the mighty name of Jesus and there's nothing I said there's nothing the devil can do about it in Jesus mighty name come on There's a power I said a power and faith that can turn loose that makes the blind to see that makes the deaf to hear that opens prison doors come on and locks the door that the devil has shut in the face of your family for Generations I'm telling you that faith that's getting turned loose

into you today. Come on, you're gonna turn it loose in the mighty name of Jesus. You're gonna see the miraculous and I promise you by the Word of God these last two months of this year are gonna be the best two months you've ever had in the mighty name of Jesus. Come on, hallelujah. I just want to talk about the four levels of faith in the Bible. Four levels of faith in the Bible. So let's start in Mark 6 verse 1.

Jesus left that part of the country and he returned with disciples to Nazareth, his hometown. The next Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue and many who heard him were amazed. They asked, where did he get all this wisdom and power to perform such miracles? Verse 3, then they scoffed, he's just a carpenter, just the son of Mary, the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon, and his sisters live here right among us. They were deeply offended and refused to believe in him. Verse 4, then Jesus told them, a prophet is honored everywhere except

Come on, this is Jesus. What'd say? Because of their unbelief. Not, he wouldn't do any miracles there to punish them, right? Or not, wouldn't do any miracles there because the devil was hindering them. No.

hands on a few sick people and healed them and he was amazed at their unbelief. Then it says Jesus went from village to village teaching the people, So what do you do if you're faced with a situation like that? What do I do, right? When I'm ministering, And people just ain't getting it. I teach. I teach. Go on, you teach because the Word of God destroys unbelief. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Mark 9:14 When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a

large crowds surrounding them. And some teachers of religious law were arguing with them. When the crowds saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with awe and they ran to greet him. What is all this arguing about? Jesus asked. One of the men in the crowd spoke up and said, Teacher, I brought you my son so you could heal him. He's possessed by an evil spirit that won't let him talk. And whenever the spirit seizes him and throws him violently to the ground, then he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples

to cast the evil spirit about him, but they couldn't do it Jesus said to them what you faithless people How long must I be with you how long must I put up with you bring the boy to me come on? Look at all these things are centered around faith guys right why couldn't the demon come out why faith? He said you didn't have enough faith you know and then people get mad all these people make everything sound like you know if you're having a problem It's because you don't have enough faith, and then I'm sorry

But yes, that's right. Absolutely. You know, God forbid somebody takes some blame or some responsibility for anything that's wrong with their life. Anything going on, you don't know. Verse 20, So they brought the boy. But when the evil spirit saw Jesus that threw the child into a violent convulsion and he fell to the ground writhing and foaming at the mouth. How long has this been happening? Jesus asked the boy's dad. He replied, since he was a little boy, the spirit often throws him in a fire or into a pit trying to kill.

them have mercy on us and help us if you can that's what he said to Jesus you know notice that notice what I just read to you like most Christians today right he go on for a whole paragraph how the devil's reckoning his life how the devil's beating him up and then at times it comes time to say something positive help us if you can and what he say verse 23 what do you mean if I can Jesus said if you can believe all things are possible to him who believes that's faith level

Number one if you can I want you to notice, you know people well whenever God's ready No, it's when you're ready. Come on. Say I'm ready. Say I'm ready, right? Right. I said Jesus could do no mighty miracles because of their unbelief and then until this guy got corrected, Well, how did he correct him? What do you mean if I can all? Things are possible the guy tried to throw it all on God, you know Well if you can do it what do you mean me if you?

You can believe all things are possible to him who believes all right, and that's how the devil messes people up I don't know why God you know in God's time. You know, know when God no no God's up in heaven He's like, what do you mean me? What do you mean? No guys? Listen build your faith have faith in God call those things that are not as though they are start speaking to your mountain command it to move today in the mighty name of Jesus I'm telling you all things are possible if you

will believe. Come on. You know something? I don't care if you've been saved five minutes. If you can look at God right now and say, I believe your word by faith, you can stand on the same platform as him and you can start to command things just the same way he commands things. Why? Because all things are possible for him. And if you believe his word, then all things are possible for you. Can I get a great big hallelujah for that? Come on, wherever you are.

Hey everybody, thank you for joining me today.

That's exactly what John meant in 1 John 5:14 and 15.

Hallelujah, don't be ashamed. Hallelujah. Come on. Yeah, you get to actually act on his behalf you get to act on his behalf? Hallelujah Come on if you believe that and you're happy about that and you're ready to do that today Come on wherever you are put those anointed hands together and give him a shout of praise unless you're driving Hallelujah, come on. Give him a shout of praise. great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in Jesus name

Hallelujah, come on faith level number one if you can not even sure whether God can do it or not, right? That's not you or you won't be here, right? Faith level number two Matthew 8 so so that was the lowest right if you can Those are the people that that they don't even know if God has the power to do it All right level two though Matthew 8 verse 1 large crowds followed Jesus as he came down the mountainside Suddenly a man with leprosy approached him and knelt before him Lord

The man said, I know if you want to, you can heal me and make me clean. Jesus reached out and touched him, But watch this, before he healed him again, he corrected him, Hallelujah. Jesus reached out and touched him. I am willing, he said. Be healed. And instantly the leprosy disappeared. Come on, say that out loud wherever you are. God is willing. Come on, I say it out loud. God.

is willing. Come on. It's not on God. It's not on God. It's up to you and it's up to me. You know, God, I know if you NO No, Matthew 22, tell the servants to tell everyone the table's been set. All things are ready. Pull up a chair and take what you want. Come on. Joshua 18:3 Hallelujah. How long will you be slack to go into the land that the Lord has promised you? Come on. I'm willing. He said, I want to. He said,

He can. So level one is if he can. Level two is I know you can. you know God has the power, but you don't know if he'll do it for you, right? Listen, the devil don't care. The devil don't care if you believe that God's mighty. He don't believe if you believe that God's all-powerful, as long as you don't think he'll do it for you. You know, I'll say to people, do you believe God can heal cancer? They're like,

Yeah, I believe right do you believe he can heal the cancer you got right now? yeah, I you know, it'll be great. It'll be great. I sure hope so No, no, no, no, great. Listen, I'm sorry, but if it stays there until that's corrected, it's not gonna happen I said nothing's gonna happen. Jesus said I want to yeah you so you got a subtle that right now You got to get that in your spirit today get in your spirit right now Not only is God all-powerful. Not only is he able to know he loves me

He'll do it for me. If he'll do it for anybody, he'll do it for me. He's not a respecter of persons. Come on. If he's gonna do it for anybody, he's gonna do it for Mike first. Why? Because he loves me. Hallelujah. At least as much as he loves everybody else. Hallelujah. He's not only almighty, he cares about me. Again, if he'll do it for anybody, he'll do it for me. If he'll do it for anybody, he'll do it for you in the mighty name of Jesus. Come on. Level three, Mark five.

The woman with the issue of blood, you know, she said to herself, well, she said to herself, I know when I touch him, I will be made well, right? Now, listen, now this lady, I teach this, you know, this lady didn't need to be corrected. Why? Because she didn't do anything wrong. Jesus hadn't died yet. You know, so for her to say, I know HE WILL that was actually, right, at that time, the highest level of faith that you could express, I know when I touch him, I will be made.

Well, right again, that's level three. So so how do we get past level three? What can be higher than saying? I know God will I don't know what can be higher than that? Let me ask you a question, know, are people like well, I know so and so, know They kept saying God's gonna heal them. They believe God was gonna heal them and what happened they died why did they die? So let me ask you this what would happen if you kept saying I know God's gonna save me I know God's gonna save me. I know God's gonna save me one of the

These days, you know, God's gonna save me know when you died would you go to heaven or would you go to hell? Come on you you go to hell H e l l right cuz it's not God's gonna do it. You gotta realize come on right now Realize this Jesus already died on the cross for your sin. And so you don't say God, please save me No, you say hey father. I know you already paid the price for my sin. I believe that in my heart I confess it with my mouth that you're my Savior

You're my Messiah. You're my Redeemer and I take my salvation today because you already did it I said because you already did it, you know, it's the same with healing people sit, you know, RW Schambauch said that he said that about People sitting in their church pew they sit in their church pew year after year after year He said no wonder they call it pew right cuz they've been sitting in there 20 30 years and it stinks right one of these days God's gonna come by my

pew and he's gonna heal me. He's gonna heal me and listen no he's not. One of these days you're gonna die and we're gonna have to bury you right? We're gonna have to bury you and it stinks to say that right? I mean listen to me people are laying in their graves right now because of prayers like that. That hurts me. That gets me mad. There's so many Christians walking around sick, beaten up, busted and disgusted, praying prayers just like that. No faith ain't lazy. Faith has a fight to it. Faith always finds

away. Come on, faith finds a way. Faith don't work tomorrow. Faith works now. We serve a right now God. If it's not now, it's not faith in the mighty name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Come on. It's the same with healing, First Peter 2:24 He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross, willingly offering himself on it as on an altar of sacrifice so that we might die to sin, become immune from the penalty and power of sin. Hallelujah. And live for righteousness

for by his stripes you who believe were...

Healed by his stripes you were healed were come on level number four. That's the past tense level number three I know he will write that that that's that That was good for the woman with the issue of blood. It's not good for you. It's not good for me Come on. We got to go higher. Say I'm going higher I'm telling you're going higher today in the mighty name of Jesus, right? Because the woman with the issue of blood listen to this Jesus hadn't paid the price on the cross

He hadn't broken that curse yet, But now you're two thousand years later Jesus has already you know, that's why people talk about Job the Lord gives and the Lord takes away blessed be the name of the Lord No, that's garbage. That's garbage Job also says sorry. I was talking about things I know not I mean they're always talking about Job Well, then Job was always being attacked. Listen, I'm not Job You're not Job Job was before Jesus ever even came

He Job himself said I know my Redeemer lives and one day he'll come and do it right he'll come and do it He hadn't done it yet. I'm not him listen And I did a whole teaching on Job you can go back and listen to it'll bless you mightily But the point is Christ has already right what did Peter say? He said he already personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so willingly offering himself on it as on an altar of sacrifice he personally carried our sins

in his body and the cross. how many you know we all have sins then get saved. He already took mine. I don't know about you, but he already took mine. How many you know we all got our demons. Listen and put your microphone down and get saved. I said get saved. I saw a preacher write that on Facebook, you know, well Jesus sees our sins, you know, but he doesn't know. Listen, I don't have any sin to see the Bible says I'm holy and without fault I wasn't just forgiven.

No, my sins were taken out of me and bore in His body on that cross. One more time in case you didn't hear it the first two times. He personally carried our sins in His body on that cross, willingly offering Himself on it as on an altar of sacrifice so that we might die to sin, become immune from the penalty and power of sin, and live for righteousness for by His wounds you who believed have

 been healed. Hallelujah. Well, you know what? People are like, well, I believe God's gonna heal me. No, what do you think He's gonna do? Come on, I believe He's gonna heal me one of these days. What do you think He's gonna do? You think He's coming back from heaven just to take a 40th stripe just for you? Because the other 39 weren't good enough? No, you gotta, Jesus did it. It's finished. It's done. He already took my sickness. He already took my disease, right? Come on, hallelujah.

If a symptom tries to come right away, no, well be like David who is this uncircumcised Philistine who dares defy the armies of my God? Hallelujah the same God that delivered me from the the paws of lions and bears is the same God that's gonna deliver me from anything you bring in my direction matter of fact I'm gonna cut your head off and I'm gonna feed you the lions and the whole world is gonna know that you're God. No the symptoms come who do you think you're touching? I'm healed I was healed and

I'm never getting sick again in the mighty name of Jesus. I said I'm never getting sick. It's a done deal He's done it now. He's going to do it. He's done it. He purchased my salvation He purchased my healing come on the Bible says in 2nd Corinthians 8:9 Hallelujah. Hallelujah, you know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ though He was rich yet for our sakes He became poor so that by his poverty He could make you rich. Hey, guess what?

Good news your prosperity was purchased come on among other things your prosperity was purchased the Bible says Jesus already shed his blood that that I could come into never being broke Hey, I'll never be broke another day in my life. It's done I'll never be sick another day in my life. Jesus paid for it. I refuse to struggle with sin It's already been paid for he's not gonna do it how many you know one day we'll get our new bodies in heaven no

Well, yes, haha, but one day I'll get a new body in heaven But the Bible says in second Peter 1 4 I've become a partaker of his divine nature and I've already escaped the corruption of this world Hallelujah. Hallelujah. It's done. It's done. He's not gonna do it. He's already done it I said he's already done it come on in the name of Jesus Hallelujah the foundation for answered prayer guys is to realize that the only reason we can expect a blessing

from God is because Jesus died to provide that blessing. Since it was provided for in His death, it's ours. I said it's ours. That's why the highest form of prayer is to just raise your hands and thank God that it's done. It's done. Come on, it's done. Father, You've done it. Father, I worship You. Father, I praise You in the mighty name of Jesus. It's already done.

It's already done. Come on. It is finished. Faith looks and rests at the finished work of the cross. Jesus did everything he's gonna do. Listen everybody raise your hands right now. Right where you are right...

Any hold the devil has on you man. I'm not playing around Satan's gonna release his hands from God's property today Say I'm a child of God. That's right your God's property today I said the devil is gonna take his hands off your life today not tomorrow today in the mighty name of Jesus say this I'm not going to get victory Say I'm not going to get victory. I've got victory Hallelujah. Thanks be to God who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ and this is the victory that over
