The Holy Spirit and Miracles {359)

WEBVTT

00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:04.139
Welcome again to the Quality Christian Living

00:00:04.139 --> 00:00:07.580
Podcast. I am your host, David Friend. This week's

00:00:07.580 --> 00:00:10.439
podcast is entitled, Holy Spirit and Miracles.

00:00:10.539 --> 00:00:12.820
You know, it's so important to understand that

00:00:12.820 --> 00:00:16.079
the best way to do a podcast like this is to

00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:18.839
use the Word of God and to look for proof of

00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:21.780
miracles. You know, we discover a list of Holy

00:00:21.780 --> 00:00:23.579
Spirit miracles when we go through the Word of

00:00:23.579 --> 00:00:26.539
God, and only the Holy Spirit can give the gift

00:00:26.539 --> 00:00:30.039
of miracles. We find that in 2 Corinthians chapter

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.079
12. So, do you believe that the Holy Spirit can

00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.979
use you for miracles? So, before we go any further,

00:00:36.259 --> 00:00:38.399
we need to pray. Heavenly Father, I thank you.

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.820
for your goodness. I pray you would bless this

00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:43.380
podcast, and I ask the Holy Spirit to come in

00:00:43.380 --> 00:00:45.460
and take control, take charge of everything that

00:00:45.460 --> 00:00:47.420
takes place. Thank you for this opportunity.

00:00:47.859 --> 00:00:50.100
Thank you for bringing those in who are listening

00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:52.259
today, and I pray that the Holy Spirit would

00:00:52.259 --> 00:00:54.079
guide and direct everything that's said and done,

00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.380
and I'll be careful to give you praise for it.

00:00:56.380 --> 00:00:59.560
In Jesus' name I pray, amen. Well, today we're

00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.000
going to look at a lot of different ways to kind

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.400
of analyze what the Word of God says about miracles,

00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:07.459
because we need to use the Word of God to prove

00:01:07.459 --> 00:01:09.760
that miracles took place and they can still take

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:11.900
place to even this day. Let's start in the book

00:01:11.900 --> 00:01:15.040
of Acts. In Acts chapter 19 verses 11 and 12

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.840
it says now God working unusual miracles by the

00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.000
hands of Paul. That's what I was talking about

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.340
verse 12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons

00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:28.500
that had touched him were taken to the sick and

00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:31.959
their illnesses were healed and the evil spirits

00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:35.019
left them. Now this is a powerful scripture and

00:01:35.019 --> 00:01:37.400
one day I was praying over some people and I

00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:39.280
ran across this scripture, and they were asking

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.239
me to pray for someone who had an incurable cancer.

00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:44.260
But they were someone that was overseas. They

00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:45.920
weren't here living here in the United States.

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:47.400
And I thought, well, I can't get there. There's

00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.780
no way I can reach them. And I had no way to

00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:51.420
get in contact with them. So I looked at this

00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:53.299
scripture, and I thought, Holy Spirit, could

00:01:53.299 --> 00:01:55.579
you use that? Would you use that so that we could

00:01:55.579 --> 00:01:57.819
pray for people and believe for healing? So the

00:01:57.819 --> 00:02:00.780
Holy Spirit helped me to experience in this group,

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.819
to experience with a woman who was not able to

00:02:04.819 --> 00:02:07.209
come to our church for prayer. because of her

00:02:07.209 --> 00:02:09.169
cancer and because of the distance she lived

00:02:09.169 --> 00:02:11.949
away. We read this scripture to a group in a

00:02:11.949 --> 00:02:15.009
prayer meeting and then we anointed a scarf with

00:02:15.009 --> 00:02:18.909
oil and asked the family to lay these on this

00:02:18.909 --> 00:02:21.530
person, this individual. We prayed for a miracle.

00:02:21.610 --> 00:02:23.909
We asked the Holy Spirit to release the miracle

00:02:23.909 --> 00:02:26.430
power that he has for healing in this individual.

00:02:26.689 --> 00:02:29.870
A month later the family told me that the lady

00:02:29.870 --> 00:02:33.030
with cancer was healed. The healing basically

00:02:33.030 --> 00:02:35.469
impacted the entire neighborhood where she lived.

00:02:35.469 --> 00:02:38.050
because the neighbors knew the woman was suffering

00:02:38.050 --> 00:02:40.969
with cancer and all of a sudden the power of

00:02:40.969 --> 00:02:43.389
the Holy Ghost and the healing power of Jesus

00:02:43.389 --> 00:02:45.469
flowed through this woman and healed her body.

00:02:45.789 --> 00:02:48.150
Now several people in that neighborhood received

00:02:48.150 --> 00:02:51.050
Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior after hearing

00:02:51.050 --> 00:02:54.189
of these healings, of this healing. So, first

00:02:54.189 --> 00:02:57.050
of all, to God be the glory, to God be all praise,

00:02:57.229 --> 00:02:59.550
glory, and honor. And I thank God for his scriptures

00:02:59.550 --> 00:03:02.409
and I believe this is an example because we experienced

00:03:02.409 --> 00:03:04.370
it personally, but this is an example of how

00:03:04.370 --> 00:03:07.680
we can apply God's Word to today for situations

00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.780
that we're dealing with on a daily basis here

00:03:10.780 --> 00:03:13.060
in our own communities. So I pray that might

00:03:13.060 --> 00:03:15.400
be of help to you and it's something that's very

00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:17.719
real that took place and we give God all praise

00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.319
and glory for it. Now here are a few Bible examples

00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.520
of miracle healings. I'm going to use the Word

00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.900
of God all the way through this. I will read

00:03:26.900 --> 00:03:29.400
them to you and then we'll make some comments

00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.939
on some of them. Before I get into the book of

00:03:31.939 --> 00:03:33.780
Acts where we're talking about specific healings,

00:03:33.819 --> 00:03:36.400
I want to read what John had to say in 1 Corinthians

00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.580
chapter 12 verse 4. There are different kinds

00:03:39.580 --> 00:03:42.819
of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the

00:03:42.819 --> 00:03:45.259
source of them all. So that's so important to

00:03:45.259 --> 00:03:47.199
understand that before we go any further, that

00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.000
the Holy Spirit is the source of the gifts of

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.719
the Spirit that he manifests in individuals who

00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.740
are seeking them. And in 1 Corinthians chapter

00:03:54.740 --> 00:03:57.740
12 verses 9 and 10, a New Living Translation

00:03:57.740 --> 00:04:00.780
again, it says the same Spirit gives great faith

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:04.080
to another and to someone else though One spirit

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.870
gives the gift of healing. He gives. one person

00:04:07.870 --> 00:04:10.909
the power to perform miracles. Now all of that

00:04:10.909 --> 00:04:13.090
is the foundation that we're building from to

00:04:13.090 --> 00:04:15.870
talk about how the Holy Spirit can bring miracles

00:04:15.870 --> 00:04:18.410
into our life. So now we look in the Word of

00:04:18.410 --> 00:04:20.930
God and we look and see what the Apostles did,

00:04:21.029 --> 00:04:23.110
what they were doing and how the Holy Spirit

00:04:23.110 --> 00:04:25.269
operated in them. There's a wonderful example

00:04:25.269 --> 00:04:28.029
found in the book of Acts in chapter three and

00:04:28.029 --> 00:04:30.850
verses one through eight in the New Living Translation.

00:04:30.889 --> 00:04:32.350
Let me just read this to you. I'm going to read

00:04:32.350 --> 00:04:35.149
all eight verses because it's necessary to understand

00:04:35.149 --> 00:04:37.740
how the Holy Spirit it worked and how Peter was

00:04:37.740 --> 00:04:41.220
used. Peter and John went to the temple one afternoon

00:04:41.220 --> 00:04:43.899
to take part in the three o 'clock prayer service.

00:04:43.980 --> 00:04:47.019
As they approached the temple, a man lame from

00:04:47.019 --> 00:04:50.120
birth was being carried in. Each day he was put

00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.019
beside the temple gate, the one called the beautiful

00:04:53.019 --> 00:04:57.000
gate, so he could be begging from the people

00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.279
going into the temple. When he saw Peter and

00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.819
John about to enter, he asked them for some money.

00:05:02.430 --> 00:05:04.829
Peter said, John, well in fact they looked at

00:05:04.829 --> 00:05:06.649
each other first of all and then first back and

00:05:06.649 --> 00:05:08.209
forth each other thinking, you know, what do

00:05:08.209 --> 00:05:10.189
we say to him? That would be our natural intent.

00:05:10.470 --> 00:05:13.490
And Peter and John looked at him intently and

00:05:13.490 --> 00:05:16.370
Peter said, look at us. The lame man looked at

00:05:16.370 --> 00:05:19.680
them. eagerly expecting some money. But Peter

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.339
said, I don't have any silver or gold for you,

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.860
but I'll give you what I have. That's so important

00:05:24.860 --> 00:05:27.379
right there. I'll give you what I have. The Holy

00:05:27.379 --> 00:05:30.379
Spirit had given this gift to him. He knew it,

00:05:30.420 --> 00:05:32.379
and he knew that he could operate in that gift

00:05:32.379 --> 00:05:33.939
through the power and the anointing of the Holy

00:05:33.939 --> 00:05:36.540
Spirit. In the name of Jesus, he said, Jesus

00:05:36.540 --> 00:05:39.420
is the healer, the Nazarene, get up and walk.

00:05:39.540 --> 00:05:42.660
Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand

00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:45.319
and helped him up. And as he did, the man's feet

00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:48.459
and ankles were instantly healed and strengthened.

00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.300
He jumped up, he stood on his feet and began

00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:54.360
to walk. Then walking, leaping and praising God,

00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.120
he went into the temple with them. Now, what

00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.120
a great story that is. You know, some people

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:00.220
look at that story and they say, well, that's

00:06:00.220 --> 00:06:02.500
really great. That's nice for them. But you know,

00:06:02.620 --> 00:06:05.180
now today is today. And you know, some people,

00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:08.259
some churches say that's all stopped now. Those

00:06:08.259 --> 00:06:10.220
healings are not taking place. Well, I'm here

00:06:10.220 --> 00:06:12.379
to tell you that they do take place to this day.

00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.939
I gave you an example earlier on in this podcast

00:06:14.939 --> 00:06:16.740
where we just looked at the Word of God and saw

00:06:16.740 --> 00:06:18.660
what took place and we prayed and we asked the

00:06:18.660 --> 00:06:21.040
Holy Spirit to do the same for this woman. And

00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.339
this woman was halfway around the world. And

00:06:23.339 --> 00:06:25.819
all they did was they went with their faith and

00:06:25.819 --> 00:06:27.939
trust in God the handkerchief really was nothing

00:06:27.939 --> 00:06:29.980
it just simply was something that was anointed

00:06:29.980 --> 00:06:32.620
but their faith went with them and as their faith

00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:35.579
expanded and increased and they prayed and they

00:06:35.579 --> 00:06:38.180
laid hands on this lady she was healed that's

00:06:38.180 --> 00:06:41.060
happening today and as a pastor who prays for

00:06:41.060 --> 00:06:43.939
a lot of sick people I've seen some amazing miracle

00:06:43.939 --> 00:06:46.519
healings take place and I just want to say to

00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.079
God be all the glory all the honor and all the

00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.660
praise because we have to give what we have and

00:06:51.660 --> 00:06:54.519
what we have is faith if all we have to is faith,

00:06:54.660 --> 00:06:56.600
then that's enough. So when you pray for people,

00:06:56.779 --> 00:06:59.399
what you have to give is faith. You're not a

00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.759
doctor. You don't know how to give certain medical

00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.120
advice. And even if you are a doctor, you don't

00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.420
know for sure how the treatments are going to

00:07:06.420 --> 00:07:08.920
go, and how they make one way in one person,

00:07:08.939 --> 00:07:11.199
another way in someone else. But when we're followers

00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.480
of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we've received

00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.019
the Holy Spirit into our life, then He's there,

00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:19.259
available, and ready to use us to do His work.

00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:22.259
And so we can claim by faith what we have, what

00:07:22.259 --> 00:07:25.389
Peter had. we have his faith and trust in God

00:07:25.389 --> 00:07:27.750
and we call forth healings and believe for them

00:07:27.750 --> 00:07:30.310
and claim them in Jesus name. Now let's look

00:07:30.310 --> 00:07:33.509
at another example of how the Holy Spirit operates

00:07:33.509 --> 00:07:36.449
with miracles. In the book of Acts chapter 5

00:07:36.449 --> 00:07:39.870
and verses 15 and 16 in the New Living Translation,

00:07:40.009 --> 00:07:43.170
it says this, as a result of the Apostles work,

00:07:43.529 --> 00:07:46.329
sick people were brought out into the streets

00:07:46.329 --> 00:07:50.129
on beds and mats so that Peter's shadow might

00:07:50.129 --> 00:07:53.589
fall across them. And as he went by verse 16

00:07:53.589 --> 00:07:57.110
crowds came from the villages around Jerusalem

00:07:57.110 --> 00:08:00.540
bringing their sick and they possessed, those

00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:02.740
that were possessed by evil spirits, and they

00:08:02.740 --> 00:08:05.699
were all healed. They were all healed. Now look

00:08:05.699 --> 00:08:08.040
at that example. That is truly remarkable. Now,

00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:09.660
some people say, well, that stopped way back

00:08:09.660 --> 00:08:12.319
then. Well, no, it has not. If you look and study

00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.220
a lot of the powerful revivals that have taken

00:08:14.220 --> 00:08:16.680
place, I think of Charles Finney. And in Charles

00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:18.779
Finney, when he was a great evangelist and he

00:08:18.779 --> 00:08:20.980
traveled the world, it said that when he would

00:08:20.980 --> 00:08:23.379
walk through factories to pray with people, they

00:08:23.379 --> 00:08:25.959
would be slain in the spirit. They would be overpowered

00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:28.639
by the presence of the Holy Spirit that was operating

00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.959
in him and they would be healed or they would

00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.019
be saved or they'd be filled with the power of

00:08:33.019 --> 00:08:35.600
the Holy Spirit. So those miracles are alive

00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.500
and well on the planet Earth today. We must believe

00:08:38.500 --> 00:08:40.580
for them, we must ask the Holy Spirit to help

00:08:40.580 --> 00:08:43.159
us to operate in them and take authority over

00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.539
evil spirits, take authority over sickness, over

00:08:45.539 --> 00:08:48.940
illnesses and disease and pray in the name of

00:08:48.940 --> 00:08:51.500
Jesus, not in our name, but in the name of Jesus

00:08:51.500 --> 00:08:53.759
that people will be healed or restored and see

00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.759
miracles come forward. You know recently because

00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.549
of the number of healings experienced for so

00:08:59.549 --> 00:09:01.830
many people over the years I was impressed to

00:09:01.830 --> 00:09:04.769
do a series of podcasts entitled Faith for Miracles.

00:09:05.090 --> 00:09:07.409
Well that series of podcasts turned into a book

00:09:07.409 --> 00:09:10.090
that I just completed recently and at the end

00:09:10.090 --> 00:09:12.230
of this podcast I'll tell you how you can get

00:09:12.230 --> 00:09:15.009
that book and where it's accessible but I just

00:09:15.009 --> 00:09:16.570
want to let you know that that book has gone

00:09:16.570 --> 00:09:19.009
out and now I know that literally hundreds and

00:09:19.009 --> 00:09:20.950
people of thousands of people now are starting

00:09:20.950 --> 00:09:23.929
to experience the power of the Holy Spirit through

00:09:23.929 --> 00:09:27.259
the miracles that operate in them. Because of

00:09:27.259 --> 00:09:29.340
the Holy Spirit being in them and being their

00:09:29.340 --> 00:09:32.340
source of miracles and source of these these

00:09:32.340 --> 00:09:34.600
great things taking place Now let me ask you

00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.340
some very personal direct questions now Do you

00:09:37.340 --> 00:09:40.000
believe that this can happen today? Because if

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.399
you don't the balance of this podcast probably

00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.399
isn't going to do a whole lot or even this whole

00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.740
Podcast might be of any value might not be of

00:09:46.740 --> 00:09:49.879
any value if you don't believe that this can

00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:53.600
happen today Do you believe that the Holy Spirit

00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.500
can use you? That's another part Some people

00:09:56.500 --> 00:09:59.139
say, well, it's not for me. I know that this

00:09:59.139 --> 00:10:01.039
person can be used or that person can be used,

00:10:01.059 --> 00:10:04.120
but for me, I don't think so. Well, God can use

00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.559
anyone as long as we are willing to yield ourselves

00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:09.820
and surrender ourselves to Him and be led by

00:10:09.820 --> 00:10:12.720
the Spirit of God rather than by our own spirit.

00:10:12.860 --> 00:10:15.120
Now, let me just ask this then. Who will step

00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:19.580
up and take the place of Peter and Paul and ask

00:10:19.580 --> 00:10:22.379
the Holy Spirit for miracles, to believe for

00:10:22.379 --> 00:10:24.779
healings? and believe for miracles. Matter of

00:10:24.779 --> 00:10:27.100
fact, I'm feeling really touched by the Holy

00:10:27.100 --> 00:10:30.019
Spirit now to pray for people, for faith, to

00:10:30.019 --> 00:10:32.480
believe this podcast. Heavenly Father, I need

00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.200
to stop right now. And under the authority of

00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.779
the Holy Spirit, I ask now that those who are

00:10:37.779 --> 00:10:40.220
listening to this will believe that they can

00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:43.799
be used, that they can perform miracles of healings

00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:47.039
and just various miracles through the power and

00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.240
the anointing of the Holy Spirit. So I pray now,

00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.799
Father, that faith will increase because the

00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:53.639
Holy Spirit is also the one that gives great

00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:55.480
faith. That's one of the gifts, the power gifts

00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.580
of the Spirit is great faith. So I pray now an

00:10:58.580 --> 00:11:01.240
impartation of that great faith would go forth

00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.320
into these individuals who are listening today

00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.840
and Father they shall lay hands upon the sick

00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.559
and they shall rise up they shall pray for those

00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:10.519
that need a miracle and the miracle will take

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:12.700
place and we'll thank you for that and give you

00:11:12.700 --> 00:11:15.620
praise for it now in Jesus name I pray Amen.

00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:17.919
Well, I guess it's important to be obedient to

00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:19.600
the Holy Spirit, especially when you're talking

00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.200
about the Holy Spirit. But I truly felt impressed

00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.899
that there were people who were having a rough

00:11:24.899 --> 00:11:27.220
time with the question I asked, do you believe

00:11:27.220 --> 00:11:30.000
that God can use you? Are you willing? And do

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.539
you believe that those miracles can take place

00:11:32.539 --> 00:11:35.179
today and that he can use you to operate in those

00:11:35.179 --> 00:11:37.559
miracles? So I just thank God for that. And I

00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:39.700
thank the Holy Spirit for kind of correcting

00:11:39.700 --> 00:11:42.279
the direction that we were going in this particular

00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.039
podcast. Now the Holy Spirit and miracles are

00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.659
still, absolutely still alive and well today.

00:11:48.899 --> 00:11:51.340
So it only takes us to yield. We've got to learn

00:11:51.340 --> 00:11:53.899
how to yield to the Holy Spirit, to His power,

00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:57.019
so that His power will flow from Him and His

00:11:57.019 --> 00:12:00.519
gifts of healings and miracles will... be manifested

00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.100
in the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. I

00:12:03.100 --> 00:12:06.059
believe that with every ounce in me. I know that

00:12:06.059 --> 00:12:08.700
I've personally been healed of some amazing diseases.

00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:12.580
I've been given terminal diagnosis of cancer

00:12:12.580 --> 00:12:16.679
and kidney failure and things that these doctors

00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:19.019
have just said. Really not a whole lot of hope,

00:12:19.019 --> 00:12:22.100
if any. And so I thank God for that, and I believe

00:12:22.100 --> 00:12:24.639
that that's a gift of the Holy Spirit, and I

00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.200
pray that that gift will pass forth to individuals

00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.759
listening in today. Now, Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians

00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.379
chapter 12 verse 7 some very important words

00:12:32.379 --> 00:12:34.460
in the New Living Translation. It says, a spiritual

00:12:34.460 --> 00:12:38.299
gift is given to each of us so we can help each

00:12:38.299 --> 00:12:41.200
other. Now, that gift is not just given to us

00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:42.980
so that we can just have it and tell people,

00:12:42.980 --> 00:12:46.059
I've got it, and kind of boast about it, because

00:12:46.059 --> 00:12:47.519
we certainly can't boast about it. something

00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.879
like that because it's not of us anyways. But

00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:52.679
Paul is saying that a spiritual gift is given

00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.799
to each of us. Now he's talking to all of us

00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:59.639
and so we are able to do what? Help other people

00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.320
to reach out and help others. So I believe we

00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.460
should seek obviously the giver of the gifts

00:13:05.460 --> 00:13:09.539
but we should also ask for those gifts to be

00:13:09.539 --> 00:13:12.179
manifested in our lives so that we can pray for

00:13:12.179 --> 00:13:14.360
others and that others will be blessed and that

00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:17.500
they'll receive the healing that they need. receive

00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:20.419
the restoration that they need. They'll receive

00:13:20.419 --> 00:13:23.240
the intervention of the Holy Spirit to change

00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.620
their lives. For me, maybe an addiction on drugs

00:13:25.620 --> 00:13:28.019
or an addiction on whatever issue might be in

00:13:28.019 --> 00:13:30.019
their life, alcohol, whatever it might be. And

00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:32.179
I pray that that will take place and that God

00:13:32.179 --> 00:13:35.080
will use each and every one of us to use that

00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:37.460
and to pray. Now earlier in the podcast I read

00:13:37.460 --> 00:13:39.850
a couple scriptures. and because I read it in

00:13:39.850 --> 00:13:41.610
the early part I think it's really important

00:13:41.610 --> 00:13:43.990
I go back to that right now and read them now

00:13:43.990 --> 00:13:45.690
that we've talked a lot about this and we've

00:13:45.690 --> 00:13:48.570
shared about you believing and me believing and

00:13:48.570 --> 00:13:50.649
all of us believing that it can take place in

00:13:50.649 --> 00:13:52.990
us today and it's still taking place now let

00:13:52.990 --> 00:13:55.230
me read these scriptures again to you and see

00:13:55.230 --> 00:13:57.629
maybe if there's a little more boost of faith

00:13:57.629 --> 00:14:00.029
that will go forth into each individual. Let's

00:14:00.029 --> 00:14:01.889
kind of repeat a couple scriptures, 1 Corinthians

00:14:01.889 --> 00:14:05.370
chapter 12 verse 4, New Living Translation. There

00:14:05.370 --> 00:14:08.149
are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the

00:14:08.149 --> 00:14:10.950
same Spirit is the source of them all. Have we

00:14:10.950 --> 00:14:12.970
received more of that now to understand where

00:14:12.970 --> 00:14:15.669
the source is? It's not us. The source is the

00:14:15.669 --> 00:14:17.690
Holy Spirit, and He's the one that can manifest

00:14:17.690 --> 00:14:19.850
these gifts. And then in 1 Corinthians chapter

00:14:19.850 --> 00:14:23.330
12 verses 9 and 10, in the New Living Translation,

00:14:23.409 --> 00:14:26.299
listen to this, the same Spirit. Paul's writing

00:14:26.299 --> 00:14:29.220
this now gives great faith. Boy, we could just

00:14:29.220 --> 00:14:31.220
stop right there, couldn't we? Just talk about

00:14:31.220 --> 00:14:33.320
great faith. Is there anybody out there that

00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.259
would love to have greater faith? I know I would.

00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.039
I pray about that and ask the Holy Spirit to

00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:41.000
help me with that. But Paul wrote this, the same

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.360
spirit gives great faith to another and to someone

00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:49.120
else. The one spirit gives the spirit of healing.

00:14:49.450 --> 00:14:53.129
He gives one person the power to perform miracles.

00:14:53.309 --> 00:14:55.509
I picked those three out. Now, in that reading

00:14:55.509 --> 00:14:58.210
of 1 Corinthians chapter 12, verses 1 through

00:14:58.210 --> 00:15:00.750
11, which all of you should read, I just pray

00:15:00.750 --> 00:15:02.350
that all of you, I'm not going to go through

00:15:02.350 --> 00:15:05.379
and read it again. because I've did a whole series

00:15:05.379 --> 00:15:07.480
of podcasts dealing with these gifts, the power

00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.740
gifts, but they're found in 1 Corinthians chapter

00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:12.960
12, verses 1 through 11, where Paul is talking

00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:14.779
about all the gifts, and that's the gifts of

00:15:14.779 --> 00:15:17.340
tongues and interpretation of tongues, and the

00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:19.679
gifts of healings, of course, are in there, and

00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:23.240
the power gifts of prophecy and the things that

00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:26.600
people love to hear about, but sometimes they

00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:29.360
pull back a little bit when it comes time to

00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:32.000
receive the gifts of healing and miracles because

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.559
they think that that's... maybe from just for

00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:36.139
super Christians, where there's no such thing

00:15:36.139 --> 00:15:38.379
as a super Christian. The only thing that's super

00:15:38.379 --> 00:15:41.360
is the supernatural power of God manifested through

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.320
the anointing of the power of the Holy Spirit.

00:15:43.539 --> 00:15:46.000
And so we need to pray for that and believe for

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.740
that. So I encourage you, read 1 Corinthians

00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:51.240
chapter 12, study it, read it over and over again,

00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:54.899
and then ask the Holy Spirit for... the blessings

00:15:54.899 --> 00:15:57.940
and ask him to come in and make himself known

00:15:57.940 --> 00:16:00.279
to each and each one of us to receive the gifts

00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.539
that he chooses. Now he's going to choose what

00:16:02.539 --> 00:16:04.659
he gives and to whom he gives it. That's what

00:16:04.659 --> 00:16:06.759
that scripture is telling us. And so we've got

00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.639
to believe for that and take faith in that and

00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:11.600
trust God for that. Now I've asked This question,

00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:13.700
this particular question to a lot of Christians

00:16:13.700 --> 00:16:15.200
over the years. As a matter of fact, when someone

00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:17.220
comes up for prayer and they come up to me and

00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:19.659
they say, I need prayer, I've got a diagnosis

00:16:19.659 --> 00:16:22.059
of cancer or a heart condition, whatever it might

00:16:22.059 --> 00:16:24.340
be, I like to stop them first and say, okay,

00:16:24.419 --> 00:16:27.220
now before we pray, do you believe that God is

00:16:27.220 --> 00:16:29.139
the healer, that Jesus is the healer and that

00:16:29.139 --> 00:16:31.500
the Holy Spirit will move on you and you'll receive

00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:33.440
this healing? And sometimes they look at me and

00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.740
say, I hope so or yeah, maybe well we have to

00:16:36.740 --> 00:16:38.899
stop for a moment and talk about that now and

00:16:38.899 --> 00:16:41.379
I'll give them this scripture and tell them that

00:16:41.379 --> 00:16:44.139
the spiritual gift is given to each of us of

00:16:44.139 --> 00:16:46.259
course so that we can help other people and that

00:16:46.259 --> 00:16:48.840
the same spirit gives forth great faith and gives

00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:50.799
healings and miracles and that's in the Word

00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:52.580
of God. Do you believe the Word of God? And they'll

00:16:52.580 --> 00:16:54.440
say, well, yeah. Well, then that Word of God

00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:56.299
applies to you. Do you believe that? And they'll

00:16:56.299 --> 00:16:58.639
say, yeah. I say, okay now, now we're ready.

00:16:58.779 --> 00:17:01.279
Now we're ready to pray for your particular need

00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:04.380
because I think we need to ground our prayers

00:17:04.380 --> 00:17:07.460
in the Word of God so that we get ourselves on

00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:10.000
the same page we operate with the same mentality

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:12.920
to believe for faith for these the answers that

00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:15.380
we need then after I've talked to them a little

00:17:15.380 --> 00:17:17.339
bit now it's not heavy and is you know and in

00:17:17.339 --> 00:17:19.519
their face type thing but just simply encouraging

00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:21.859
them to believe God's Word then they're ready

00:17:21.859 --> 00:17:24.319
and they're open to receive their prayers for

00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:27.119
healing so I've asked this question to many Christians

00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:30.119
are you willing to yield to the Holy Spirit to

00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.930
receive power from him to work healings and miracles.

00:17:34.309 --> 00:17:36.329
Are you willing? Are you going to set aside your

00:17:36.329 --> 00:17:38.750
fear, your doubt, your questions, your anxiety,

00:17:39.230 --> 00:17:42.150
and just simply be willing to yield to the Holy

00:17:42.150 --> 00:17:44.069
Spirit? So anybody that's out there listening

00:17:44.069 --> 00:17:47.289
right now, are you willing to yield to that power?

00:17:47.549 --> 00:17:50.109
To yield to the Holy Spirit so that you can receive

00:17:50.109 --> 00:17:54.059
power from Him? for the gifts that he's able

00:17:54.059 --> 00:17:56.480
to give to those that he chooses. I believe he

00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.940
chooses those who are ready and willing and able

00:17:59.940 --> 00:18:02.599
to operate in those gifts and their doubts have

00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:05.220
moved aside and they know that he is able and

00:18:05.220 --> 00:18:07.839
that he is able to do exceedingly, abundantly,

00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:11.559
above and beyond anything we can imagine or even

00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:13.740
think. I believe that. If I didn't believe that,

00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:15.440
I wouldn't be doing this podcast. I'm serious.

00:18:15.460 --> 00:18:17.519
I wouldn't be into this thing for weeks and weeks

00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:20.720
and weeks. We're into our 42nd, I think, or 43rd

00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:23.589
podcast. on the Holy Spirit and still have many

00:18:23.589 --> 00:18:26.670
many podcasts to do on the Holy Spirit and will

00:18:26.670 --> 00:18:29.549
be led by him as he directs me as we go through

00:18:29.549 --> 00:18:32.049
this this particular series. So the big question

00:18:32.049 --> 00:18:34.289
then is are you willing to yield to the Holy

00:18:34.289 --> 00:18:37.029
Spirit so that you then can receive power from

00:18:37.029 --> 00:18:40.630
him to work miracles and healings. Now that's

00:18:40.630 --> 00:18:42.950
a big question I know that and I and I know that

00:18:42.950 --> 00:18:45.990
a lot of people a little bit shaken up a little

00:18:45.990 --> 00:18:48.089
bit from that sometimes but I think it's so important

00:18:48.089 --> 00:18:51.869
to realize that that Peter and Paul, I believe,

00:18:52.049 --> 00:18:54.730
had questions and doubts about could they be

00:18:54.730 --> 00:18:57.009
used for that same operation. But when they had

00:18:57.009 --> 00:18:58.849
that encounter with the Holy Spirit, when they

00:18:58.849 --> 00:19:00.650
had that encounter with the power of the Living

00:19:00.650 --> 00:19:03.970
God, they realized that, yes, they can receive

00:19:03.970 --> 00:19:07.329
that gift. Because Jesus spoke to Peter and told

00:19:07.329 --> 00:19:09.950
him, you'll do great works, you'll do greater

00:19:09.950 --> 00:19:11.950
works than I've even done. And so basically,

00:19:12.069 --> 00:19:13.890
they were prepared and ready, but they were only

00:19:13.890 --> 00:19:16.329
prepared because they yielded to the power of

00:19:16.329 --> 00:19:20.849
the Holy Spirit. we need to yield in trust and

00:19:20.849 --> 00:19:23.849
believe. Jesus asked those who needed healing

00:19:23.849 --> 00:19:26.869
a question. And this is a question, I kind of

00:19:26.869 --> 00:19:29.250
switched gears a little bit here, but Jesus asked

00:19:29.250 --> 00:19:32.660
people who needed healing just a few words. And

00:19:32.660 --> 00:19:35.180
we need to ask people the same words when they

00:19:35.180 --> 00:19:37.880
come up to us and ask for prayer. It's so important

00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.799
that as I get closer to closing out this particular

00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:43.980
podcast, I want to be sure that we understand

00:19:43.980 --> 00:19:46.799
that Jesus asked people a question that we can

00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:50.180
ask people today. What do you want me to do?

00:19:50.859 --> 00:19:52.940
It's in the Word of God, and he's asked people

00:19:52.940 --> 00:19:54.980
specifically, what is it that you want? What

00:19:54.980 --> 00:19:56.920
do you need? What do you want me to do? Now,

00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:59.119
he knew what they needed. He knew what they had,

00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.359
but... but he wanted them to ask him directly

00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:04.839
and that way they know they would know that their

00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:07.380
source was him and that the power of God was

00:20:07.380 --> 00:20:09.460
there. Now some people he asked that for people

00:20:09.460 --> 00:20:12.039
that weren't even saved and people had not really

00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:13.940
made a commitment to Christ yet and because of

00:20:13.940 --> 00:20:16.339
their healing they totally made a commitment

00:20:16.339 --> 00:20:18.319
to Christ and their lives were radically changed.

00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:20.920
Let me give you a couple examples of when Jesus

00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:23.099
was faced with someone that needed healing and

00:20:23.099 --> 00:20:25.259
he said, what do you want me to do? It's in Mark

00:20:25.259 --> 00:20:28.720
chapter 10 verse 51. Jesus asked a blind man,

00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:31.440
what do you want me to do and then the man was

00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:35.359
healed and then in Luke 18 41 Jesus asked a blind

00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:38.140
man what do you want me to do and he was healed

00:20:38.140 --> 00:20:41.079
now some people say that's just a the same healing

00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:44.400
just by quoted by Mark and by Luke, and I believe

00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:48.119
it most likely is, but I can just picture Jesus

00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:50.740
going around through the crowd. They didn't record

00:20:50.740 --> 00:20:53.039
every single thing that Jesus ever said. They

00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:55.279
didn't record every single words that he said

00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:57.099
to people as he went through the crowd. They

00:20:57.099 --> 00:20:59.299
couldn't. Our Bible would have a million pages

00:20:59.299 --> 00:21:02.000
in it, but the bottom line of it is they recorded

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.160
enough and put enough down so that we would have

00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:06.559
the confidence in the Word of God to believe

00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.079
that those... things will be even taking place

00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:11.940
to this day. But Jesus went around and went around

00:21:11.940 --> 00:21:14.240
and went around and went around asking people,

00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:16.900
what do you want me to do? And they were healed.

00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:20.160
In Matthew 20 verse 32, Jesus said, what do you

00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:23.319
want me to do? And once again, healing came forth.

00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:26.099
So I hope that you understand what I'm trying

00:21:26.099 --> 00:21:29.519
to say. What I'm really trying to explain is

00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.079
that we've got to remember that Jesus walked

00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:35.119
this earth and he walked and faced thousands

00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:38.789
of people. And how many did he heal? We only

00:21:38.789 --> 00:21:41.069
have a certain number. I don't know the exact

00:21:41.069 --> 00:21:43.109
number in the Bible where showed where Jesus

00:21:43.109 --> 00:21:45.829
healed people, but there were far more than that.

00:21:45.829 --> 00:21:49.380
I mean great crowds gathered and And they were

00:21:49.380 --> 00:21:52.019
all healed. When people came and just got near

00:21:52.019 --> 00:21:54.359
him, they were healed. The one woman just touched

00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:56.460
the hem of his garment, just simply the edge

00:21:56.460 --> 00:21:59.279
of his clothing that he had on. And because of

00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:01.480
her faith and because Jesus said that something

00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:04.200
has gone from me, healing power went from him

00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:07.259
into her and she was healed of an issue of blood

00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:09.500
that she had had, bleeding that she had had,

00:22:09.819 --> 00:22:11.660
that she had done everything she could to get

00:22:11.660 --> 00:22:14.299
it cared for. But when she touched the hem of

00:22:14.299 --> 00:22:17.140
his garment, She was instantly healed. And so

00:22:17.140 --> 00:22:19.720
we've got to believe that those things can happen

00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:21.880
and will happen to this day. And so I'm just

00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:23.920
going to, I think I kind of like want to commission

00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:26.579
all of you out there who are listening to this

00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:29.099
podcast today, that you can go forth. So let

00:22:29.099 --> 00:22:31.059
me just do that. Father in the name of Jesus.

00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:34.440
I just commission. That means I sign them up.

00:22:34.500 --> 00:22:37.200
For people, Lord, who will step out in faith

00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:40.259
and believe that they can yield to the Holy Spirit

00:22:40.259 --> 00:22:43.000
and they can experience healings and miracles,

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:45.380
they'll understand that the Word of God applies

00:22:45.380 --> 00:22:47.920
to them in 1 Corinthians chapter 12 and that

00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:50.200
those gifts are being manifested by the Holy

00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:52.759
Spirit today. And Lord, so Father, as we make

00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:54.920
this assignment to those who want to step out

00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:57.500
and believe that, first of all, that the Holy

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:59.500
Spirit would give them greater faith, greater

00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:01.519
faith than they have now. We all need that. including

00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:03.779
myself, that we'll have greater faith to believe

00:23:03.779 --> 00:23:05.619
and to trust God no matter how difficult the

00:23:05.619 --> 00:23:08.559
situation is, no matter how negative it looks,

00:23:08.660 --> 00:23:11.460
we can believe for divine healing and an intervention

00:23:11.460 --> 00:23:13.740
of the Holy Spirit. So Father, I believe for

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:17.000
that and I ask it in Jesus' name. So I'm gonna

00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:18.660
have to wrap this up and close it up. I'm running

00:23:18.660 --> 00:23:22.200
out of time, but I just pray in Jesus' name for

00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:25.380
an outpouring of the Spirit of God and that the

00:23:25.380 --> 00:23:27.160
anointing of the Holy Spirit would come upon

00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:29.319
followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. And they'll

00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:33.200
be those who are Excited and on fire to believe

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:35.420
for this to take place in their lives and father

00:23:35.420 --> 00:23:37.470
that you'll bless them Thank you, Lord, for that

00:23:37.470 --> 00:23:39.650
in Jesus' name again. Well, I got to close. So

00:23:39.650 --> 00:23:41.549
if you'd like to know more, I hope this has been

00:23:41.549 --> 00:23:43.670
a blessing to you. I just ran out of time. There's

00:23:43.670 --> 00:23:45.289
just so much to go. Well, we're going to continue

00:23:45.289 --> 00:23:47.750
on. And our next podcast is going to be about,

00:23:47.829 --> 00:23:50.970
as the Holy Spirit leads us, blessed by the Holy

00:23:50.970 --> 00:23:53.769
Spirit. The blessings of the Holy Spirit, something

00:23:53.769 --> 00:23:55.809
in that realm we're going to be talking about.

00:23:55.829 --> 00:23:58.109
So we'll continue this teaching on the Holy Spirit.

00:23:58.309 --> 00:24:00.150

reviewing the titles of all of them right now,

00:26:07.230 --> 00:26:09.390
but I don't have time to do that because there's

00:26:09.390 --> 00:26:13.150
about 40, I think 42. Lessons so far or teachings

00:26:13.150 --> 00:26:15.690
if you will on the Holy Spirit so you can go

00:26:15.690 --> 00:26:17.490

00:26:17.490 --> 00:26:20.029
to do that and just Receive that and I pray that

00:26:20.029 --> 00:26:22.730

00:26:22.730 --> 00:26:24.789

00:26:24.789 --> 00:26:27.150
blessing. I do this at the end of each podcast

00:26:45.900 --> 00:26:49.819
