Change of mindset serves as a pivotal factor in the attainment of supernatural healing, as articulated in this episode. Carlie Terradez explains the profound impact of one's beliefs and confessions on the process of healing, exemplified through the biblical narrative of the man at the pool of Bethesda. Through this account, we glean that a transformation in thought is not merely beneficial but essential for the manifestation of health and wholeness. The episode emphasizes that healing is not confined to the physical realm but encompasses the spirit and soul, necessitating a holistic approach to one's identity and beliefs. Thus, we are encouraged to embrace a renewed mindset that aligns with God's promises, facilitating our journey toward healing and wholeness.

Takeaways:

• The concept of change is paramount in the journey of healing; it requires a transformation of one's mindset.
• Supernatural healing is readily available, but often necessitates an intentional shift in one's thoughts and beliefs.
• Chronic illness can lead to a distorted sense of identity, making it essential to recognize one's true self beyond the affliction.
• Healing encompasses more than physical recovery; it involves restoration of spirit, soul, and body, leading to an abundant life.

Welcome to Power Hour where we believe it is God's will for you to be well.

I'm your host, Kylie Terradez and this podcast is created from the weekly live streams that I do every Thursday at 1pm Mountain time.

Whether you tune in live or listen later, this message is something that you can receive today.

Let's get started.

Hey everyone, it is that time again.

It is time for Power Hour.

Man, I am so excited to be with you today.

We are going through our teaching series on the A to Z of receiving healing.

Today we're going to be talking about the third part.

See, Change my mind.

You know, supernatural healing is available to us.

Sometimes all it takes is a change of mind.

Father God, I thank you that you're with us, that you that you have good things for us, that you have healing for us today.

Lord, I thank you that you have given us ears to hear and a heart to receive and a mind to understand every good and perfect promise that you have for us today.

In Jesus name, Amen.

All right.

Right, well, let's jump on into here.

The C. What is the C?

We're going through the A to Z and I believe that this was really divinely inspired because you know, the Lord showed me that there's at least 26 nuggets, 26 letters of the Alphabet that are nuggets for us to receive healing.

So this is what we're going to be teaching through this year and already went through A. I want to encourage you, go back and watch the previous streams.

We did A, agree with the word last week.

We did B, B still and beloved you.

Today we're going to be talking about C. Let's change your mind, change your confession.

Amen.

So we're going to jump on here to John chapter five.

So if you have your Bible, make sure that you join in with me.

And this is John, chapter five.

This is the man at the pool of Bethesda.

Now this is a really important passage and there's is a lot in this.

So I'm going to do my best to, to pull out some of the most significant things from this passage.

But you could spend a long time studying just this one, the healing at the pool.

Now Isis, I'm just going to start in verse one.

After this there was the feast of the Jews and Jesus went up from Jerusalem.

Now in Jerusalem, by the sheep gate, there is a pool which in Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five poaches.

Now these lay a great crowd of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the Water for an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water.

Now, after the stirring of the water, whoever stepped in first was healed of what, whatever disease he had.

Now there's a lot in this, so let me just clarify this a little bit.

This pool here, the sheep gate, this was the gate that was a one way entry.

So one way entry for the sheep.

This was the ceremonial cleansing pool where the sheep that were the designated for sacrifice were brought in through the sheep gate and they were cleansed before they were sacrificed.

They were.

The sheep went in one way, but they didn't come out the same way.

Right.

This is, this is a real moment of significance.

This is a moment of sanctification.

This is a moment that, that is the changes that changes lives forever.

Why is this significant?

Well, Jesus is called the Lamb of God, right?

He's noticed at the Lamb of God.

Something fun I want you to, to realize is that Bethlehem where Jesus was born was a special area set aside for the breeding of the sacrificial lambs that were sacrificed in the temple.

It was a area that is a special type of sheep and they had to be perfect.

They had to be completely unblemished.

Jesus, you know, was the, with a perfect lamb for us.

Completely unblemished.

He was perfect.

He never sinned.

And you know, this, this goes back even to the Old Testament where they would sacrifice the lamb at Passover and apply the blood of the lamb to the lintels of the doorpost.

Then the angel of the death would pass over the house and the people inside it would be saved.

Man, there's so much in here that just speaks to symbolism of this miracle happening at this moment, this time in this place.

This man was laying by the pool in Bethesda here.

And the fact that it has five portraits is, has a significance of his own.

But we're not going to get caught up in that right now.

Okay, But Bethesda is talking about the House of Mercy.

You know, that's what Bethesda means, House of Mercy, man.

What?

This is the place where the sheep would come in that were going to be sacrificed.

So the sins of the people, the sickness of the people could be transferred on the sacrificial land in the House of Mercy.

Praise Jesus.

Right.

This man particular had been sick for a long time.

It says that he was, he was laying there by the pool and he was waiting for an angel to come and stir.

Something supernatural, some celestial event was happening where an angel would come down, stir the water, never Got in the water first, received healing.

Now this is, this is an interesting passage because it is omitted from some incomplete translation.

So if you don't have this verse in your Bible, get yourself a new Bible, right?

But it's important because it tells us something about this man, this particular man.

He was an invalid, he was paralyzed.

He'd been there for a long time.

And it says this man in verse five, a certain man that was.

Had an illness for 38 years.

You know, that is a really long time to be sick for.

And something happens when people have been chronically sick.

You know, the healing becomes a part of them.

It becomes a part of their identity.

And we sometimes miss the fact that we are three part beings, you know, to look at us, we just see us in the flesh, but we're actually a spirit, soul and a body.

And so this man was sick in his body.

And when people have been sick in their body for a long time, that sickness doesn't just affect their body.

It starts to creep in and affect the way that they think.

Think it starts to affect their soul.

You might say, Carly, what does, what does that even mean?

People start to identify with a situation after they've been in it for a long time.

It doesn't just become something that they have, it becomes who they are.

This man wasn't just a victim of sickness, he was sick in every single part of him.

He did more than just a physical healing.

He needed to be healed.

Spirit, soul and body.

The all, all three.

He needed him.

He didn't need to just be healed.

He needed to be made whole.

Now we have a whole teaching series called Healed and Whole.

I'd encourage you to get that one.

It's a good one.

We have a number of different teaching series actually available on our website.

We have Manifesting Miracles is on there as well.

That's a really good one.

So make sure you go ahead.

There's loads of material.

We even have a whole three modules in our Bible school, our free online Bible school called Power Academy.

Just on the subject of receiving healing.

This is a massive topic.

And if you've been sick for a long time, you're going to want to get into the word of God and find out what it really means to be well.

Because it's not just your physical body that has been made sick.

Sure, the symptoms might be showing up in your physical body, but it affects the way that we think.

This was certainly true for me when I had epilepsy.

I had epilepsy for a number of years.

I was having Multiple seizures a day.

It was really, really traumatic.

My whole life had adapted around being sick just in order to manage the disease, just in order to survive, to cope with the symptoms.

I'd say multiple 13 different medications a day.

If I was late by taking it and I was on a schedule, if I was late by 15, 30 minutes, I'd start having seizures.

It was a fine balance of taking those medications and trying to adapt my life to be sick so that if I felt like I was going to have a seizure, I was in a place that was as safe as possible to stop me injuring myself because of that.

You know, we had, we had three small children at the time.

I had to have a babysitter.

For me, I couldn't be.

There were times when I couldn't be left alone with my kids because I was so sick and so pro decisives that, you know, they were toddlers at the time.

So I mean, if I was unconscious on the floor, who's going to take care of them?

So this was a problem that, you know, just affected everything.

I couldn't drive now, Ashley.

My husband says I can't, I still can't drive.

That's not true.

I can drive.

I just don't park very well.

I abandon.

Right, I just park out there in Outer Mongolia, within Zhangwan, around me.

It works perfectly.

But anyway, you know, I couldn't work, I couldn't drive.

I couldn't be left on my own.

There was several things independently that I couldn't do anymore.

You know, I'd have seizures all over the place.

I'd be in the middle of the supermarket.

I should get a phone call at work.

You know, you're.

We have, we have your wife in the hospital.

She was picked up in the middle of safeways.

She had a seizure, you know that the kids were with me, you know, in the stroller.

They all loaded into the ambulance.

I mean, it was a mess.

I actually never even knew what kind of state I was going to be in when he came home.

This affected every area of our life.

And I didn't realize at the time how.

Epilepsy wasn't just something that I had learned to manage.

I was living with it.

And I know many people with chronic conditions, you find yourself in that situation.

You know, what do you do on a day to day?

Well, you're just trying to survive the day.

But when we're talking about receiving, healing, there is a part of our identity that becomes so wrapped up in sickness that sickness thinks it owns us.

It starts to take ownership of Us.

Let me show you what I mean from the scripture here.

It says here, and if you're just joining me, I'm talking about the man at the pool of Bethesda in John, chapter five.

But we're going to skip on down to.

Here we are, verse five.

This is John, chapter five, verse five.

A certain man who was there who had an illness for 3:38 years.

When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he'd been in that condition now a long time, he said to him, do you want to be healed?

Now his, his response tells us a lot because, you know, sometimes we get so used to being sick that we cannot, we cannot imagine what it is like not to be sick anymore.

Sickness has become something that we live with, that we're engaged with, that we try and avoid, that we, you know, take measures.

We have adaptations in our life that we spend so much time focusing on that we don't actually know how to not be sick.

We can't.

Maybe it's been such a long time since you were well that you can't even look back and imagine a time that you weren't well.

Or maybe you were born with a condition that you've never been.

Well, men, this certainly starts to form who you are because you don't know who you are outside of sickness anymore.

This is a big deal.

You know this scripture here where it said whoever stepped in the water first and was healed of whatever disease he had.

Let me show you this.

In the WIS Translation, it actually says, and that they were healed of whatever disease had gotten possession of him and was holding him down.

You see, this is the audacity of sickness.

It thinks it owns us.

It thinks it owned you.

You know that sickness and disease is not a gift from God that he is sent to try and teach you something.

It is a curse of the enemy that is listed in Deuteronomy 28 always occurs, never a blessing.

And it is a curse that we have been redeemed from.

Galatians 3:13 says, we have been redeemed from the curse of the law.

Jesus died on the cross to redeem you from the curse that was listed in Deuteronomy chapter 28.

Man, I do not want to have in my body a curse that I have been redeemed from.

I don't want to carry around something I'm not supposed to have.

But this is what sickness does.

It creeps in.

Maybe when we're not aware, maybe when we were least suspecting, and before we know it, we have full blown Symptoms.

Or maybe we were born with some kind of mutation that, that produced that in our genes or whatever.

But we find ourselves in a place of sickness.

Now that sickness tries to tell us, oh, I belong here.

I.

This is my house.

This is my temple.

You know, the word of God says that you are a temple of the Holy Spirit.

A temple sanctified, righteous, truly holy.

You have an unction from the Holy One.

You are righteous and truly holy.

You have a sack.

This is this body.

The Lord calls it a temple, right?

The Lord calls your body a temple.

He says you are a temple of the Holy Ghost.

In other words, you are a container to be indwelled, filled by the very power of God.

You do not belong to the enemy.

Colossians says you have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of the Son of his love.

When you receive Jesus, you were broken free from any ownership claims that the devil tried to have over you.

But you know what?

Sickness still comes to try to whisper in our ear and says, no, that's not true.

I own you.

No, it doesn't.

But here is.

It exposes this sickness, thinks it has you as a possession.

It tries to take ownership of you.

How does sickness do that?

Well, it plans your day.

It tells you what you can eat, if you can eat, if you can work, where you can work, how you can travel, how much you should sleep, it plans your calendar, steals your finances, damages your relationships.

I mean, that's the, that's the signature symptoms of something that is trying to take ownership, trying to possess you, claim you as its belonging.

You know, we are not possessed by the power of darkness anymore.

The moment that we get born again, we are possessed by the kingdom of God.

You know, we have.

We.

We don't belong to the enemy anymore.

We once did, but now we belong to the kingdom of God.

We've been adopted into his family.

Amen.

We are possessions bought by God at a price.

He paid Jesus for you, man.

You.

If Jesus paid such a great price, he gave his life for you.

I'm not going to give my life or my body over to symptoms that easily, man.

That those symptoms, they're going to have to fight me, right?

They're going to.

I mean, it's on.

So this is important.

This man who had been sick for a long time, chronically sick, he wasn't just sick in his body, he was starting to think like a sick person.

He was, you know, and you can see this in the response that he had to Jesus when Jesus asked him, do you want to be healed.

Look at what he said.

The sick man answered him and said, sir, I have no one to put me in the pool when the water is stirred.

But while I'm coming down, another steps down before me, you know, this man was standing, was face to face with Jesus, the Savior, the Messiah, the healer, he the the fulfillment of prophecy.

And yet this man did not know who it was that he was talking to.

He was so connected with his previous experiences, he almost missed his way of escape.

This is what sickness will do.

It'll blind you spiritually to the truth or try to, right?

But Jesus said to this man something really significant.

And while this man's having his pity party, telling them all the things that he can't do, you know, And Jesus asked him a question that challenged him.

Do you want to be made healed?

Do you want to be made well?

Do you want to be healed?

This man had a choice.

This is really interesting because, you know, for a long time when I was suffering with epilepsy, I didn't realize I had a choice.

I felt like I had no choices.

Like all of the choices in life were being made for me.

Every time I went to the doctors, I found out something new that I couldn't do anymore, I shouldn't do anymore.

It almost like a new freedom had been stripped away from me.

And, you know, I just got used to being bossed around.

Bossed around by the symptoms, bossed around by the seizures.

I didn't think I had any choices.

But then one day I went to a meeting.

I went to a Bible study.

And I heard the Lord speak a scripture to me.

He said, I set before you heaven and earth as witnesses to testify this day.

As witnesses.

A testimony this day.

Choose life that you and your descendants might live.

Choose life.

That was the first time in all of my years of sickness I realized I had any choice to make.

What was my choice?

My choice was to believe, to choose life.

My choice was to choose life over death.

The choice was in mine.

But I had to change my mind about how I viewed my circumstances.

I had to change my mind about how much power and authority and influence I gave to that epilepsy.

You know, this took a period of time for me.

This took a couple of weeks.

I don't believe it needs to take that long for you.

It was just I was kind of a slow learner, you know, I didn't have really have anyone around me to disciple me in the Word.

So it was me, Jesus, my Bible, right so it took a little longer than people that maybe have a coach, have someone to help them.

But, you know, through that period of a couple of weeks, I started to renew my mind.

I started to get a different picture on the inside of me, that I started to change my mind about some things that had been ingrained into me through years of being sick.

And I started to see myself and with a new identity, with rather than a victim, mindset as being somebody that was victorious, that was led into triumph, that Jesus had already healed, that he'd paid the price for.

I started to identify with a future that sickness told me that I could never have.

Man, that was a process that.

That meant engaging my imagination.

That meant facing some fear.

You know, if you've been sick for a long time, it's natural to have some fear, some fear of the unknown.

I didn't know what healing felt like.

I didn't know what healed Kylie looked like.

I didn't know if I was going to be able to survive in a world without sickness to identify me, you know, but.

But week after week, the Lord showed me I was special enough.

Just being a child of God.

I didn't need a label to make me unique or different.

It was God had had plans for me and I could hold his hand and go with him on an adventure.

And even though it might be scary, it was really important.

I didn't realize at the time the importance that was going to mean for generations after me.

That was, you know, we.

We have really young children.

And once I received healing from epilepsy, it changed everything.

You know, I went back to that Bible study.

A couple of weeks later, my fleece had been laid out.

It was kind of like, if my friend offers to pray for me, then I'll.

I believe it's really your will, Lord, because, you know, I didn't really know the will of God.

There's a pretty low bar entry level for somebody that was going to a Bible study.

But here I was going to this Bible study.

And at the very end of that Bible study, finally my friend offered to pray for me.

And, you know, we were in a hurry.

She just put her hand on me and said, you know, in Jesus name be healed.

It wasn't spectacular.

You know, it didn't feel anointed.

I didn't, you know, nothing changed about me in the natural.

But I knew.

But I just knew in that moment that I was healed and I changed my mind.

You see, that period of two weeks, really, that was doing.

It was changing my mind.

I was changing My heart.

I was changing how I saw myself.

And I had to.

I had to kind of agree with the Word and believe what the Lord had to say.

But changed my mind.

And then once I changed my mind, I realized something.

I changed my confession.

You know, this is what happens when we start changing our mind or the.

Or the scriptural way of.

Of putting that is renewing our mind to the Word of God is what it says in Romans 12, verse 1 and 2.

He says, Be not be.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

That transformation that started to happen in my heart when no one else could see it, was soon about to burst forth in my physical body where everyone could see it.

The change, you know, healing happens inside before it happens outside, when we get healed in our thinking, oftentimes before we get healed in our physical body.

Certainly this is common for people that have been through chronic illness.

I'm not talking about an acute illness.

I'm talking about something that is.

That is.

That has really started to damage and erode the way we think and erode our identity in Christ.

So, you know, for me, I went back to that Bible study, and in that moment that my friend prayed for me, I flipped a switch on the inside.

And that that test is actually in the book that we're giving away this week, Miracles and Healing Made Easy.

And it was a process.

But let me tell you, I have not had a seizure in, well, Hannah's.

Hannah was a year old then.

It was 20 years ago.

So 20, 22 now.

So 20 years ago since I had a seizure, and I never had one since I went from having multiple seizures a day from standing on the word of God to having zero.

And that's 20 years ago.

If I can change my mind about that, I've realized I can change my mind about pretty much anything.

I mean, actually, I think it's a gift that women have.

We change our mind like the wind.

Why not change your mind about the circumstances that you're in?

If you can change your mind about what you like and don't like, why don't you change your mind about how you view yourself?

Start agreeing with what the word of God says about you, right?

Look at what this man Jesus said to this man.

This is fascinating to me.

So we're in John, chapter five, the man of Pull the Bethesda.

If you're just joining us, in verse 8, it says, Jesus said to him, rise, take up your bed and walk.

Rise, take up your bed and walk.

This Was a man that was previously paralyzed.

It says just a few verses earlier, you know, he was laying amongst a crowd of invalids.

You know, sickness likes company.

Misery likes company is what they say.

And when we're sick and we think sick, we attract people like ourselves to ourselves.

So when we're speaking positive, you know, when we're speaking the word of God, when we am stirring up our faith, when we're encouraging ourselves in the word, when we're identifying with our born again self and our new nature in Christ, we can identify people like us to ourselves.

When we're talking sick and when we're thinking sick, we start talking sick, we start attracting sick into our life.

It's almost like a bell starts to ring.

You know, I. I call this wounded rabbit syndrome.

When we were living in England, we lived on a farm.

And one day I looked out of the.

The kitchen window, the farmhouse kitchen window, and I saw our cats, our barn cats chasing a baby rabbit across the field.

And man, one of the cats caught a hold of this rabbit.

And baby rabbits, if you've ever grown up in the country or whatever, they scream.

And it sounds like a child screaming.

It's like it pierces your soul.

It's traumat in me that just said, no, no, thank you.

I'm not having that and that death happening on my watch.

So I sprinted at the back door chasing the cat that was chasing the rabbit.

And, you know, before I.

Before I realized what was happening, my foot got stuck in a rut in the grass.

And my momentum just carried me right over the top.

And I heard the bone snap in my ankle.

Now, if you've ever broken a bone and you've heard it snap, you'll never forget the sound of that noise or the feeling of intense pain that accompanies it.

So there I find laying in a muddy field about a quarter of a mile from my house.

No one's home at the time because I'm home by myself and I'm in the middle of nowhere in dreary, rainy England.

This was not ideal.

And this was actually just about a few days before we were about to move from England to America with all of our kids.

It was a huge move with all of our suitcases to emigrate and everything else.

And as I lay there on the ground, what came to me was a picture of me hobbling through the airport on crutches with my leg in a plaster.

Something the inside of me rose up in that moment.

It rose up.

Faith on the inside started to rise.

Some voice started to Speak louder on the inside.

And what came out of my mouth was a giant no, no, man.

I shouted at the top of my lungs.

And even though I felt the pain in my ankle, I knew that there was power in that no.

I leapt up to my feet and started running at full sprint back to the house.

Now, with every, every footstep that hit the ground, that pain shot through my leg.

I was running on a broken ankle.

But there was something in me that knew that power was being released.

And I had to.

I had to propel myself past that negative imagination, past that, that lie, that symptom in my leg that was speaking to me very loudly.

I knew that it was trying to get my agreement with it.

You see, this is what symptoms do.

They try to get you to agree.

A symptom does not mean that you are sick.

A symptom is to sickness like a temptation is to sin.

Just because you might have a temptation to think something doesn't mean you sin.

It's not sin unless you act on it right.

A symptom might come to us to try to get us to buy the lie that we're sick doesn't mean that we're sick.

It's a temptation in the form of a symptom for sickness.

I was not going to buy that.

I was just.

Was not going to buy into it.

I was not going to agree with it.

And my no was my verbal agreement with the word of God rather than with the symptoms.

You know, no is a complete sentence.

It is powerful on the inside of you.

So every time my foot hit the ground on that quarter of a mile back to the house, it hurt.

But I just kept saying, no, no, I'm not having it.

I don't receive it, I'm not having it.

That bone is whole, it's healed, it's complete, it's intact, missing nothing.

Missing, nothing broken.

You know, by the time I got back to the house, the pain had started to subside.

My ankle had blown up like a balloon and was going purple, all different colors of the rainbow.

But, you know, something was having an effect.

I started stomping around.

I was actually at home because I was trying to pack for the big move.

So I started stomping around, walking around.

I wasn't.

I wasn't going to limp on it.

I wasn't going to put my foot down gently.

I was stomping around on that thing.

Little hard little items in pain you need to leave.

Within about half an hour to an hour, the symptoms started to leave.

But I had to Push through.

You know, sometimes there is that moment we have to push through.

The enemy won't just, you know, give up, say, oh, well, you know what she said, the magic words, I'm going to leave.

No, there is a moment of resistance.

James 4, 7 says, we need to submit to God.

Resist the enemy.

That means to actively stand against him and then he'll flee.

And so there was that.

There was a moment, there was a time where we had to actively resist, you know, we had to actively resist our daughter's symptoms coming back after she was healed.

I think I shared her healing testimony last week.

Man, there is a moment of resistance and resistance is not comfortable.

Resistance is.

It feels like work, it feels painful, it feels like.

Man, it feels a little scary sometimes.

It feels like we're out on the limb of faith.

But you know, it's important because we were going to win if we don't quit.

You know, Hebrews says, by faith and patience we inherit the promises.

You have a promise of healing today.

Don't quit.

I want to encourage you.

Resist the enemy and don't quit.

Don't give up.

God has so much good for you.

Don't quit.

Take quitting off the table, right?

It's not an option.

And just keep believing the word of God.

Speaking the word of God and it comes up out of your changed heart.

When we start to change our heart, our mouth starts to speak.

You know, it says this in, had this written down.

So I want to make sure I give you the right scripture.

But this is, this is In Luke, Luke 6:45 says, A good man of the treasure of his heart brings forth good and an evil man.

Out of the evil treasure, his heart brings forth evil.

For out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks out of the abundance of his heart.

That's not talking about your physical beating heart cardia.

That's talking about your soul.

In the scripture where we see words that origin in the original language, they meant more, more had more options of meanings than in our English limited language.

The word does mean physical heart, but it also means soul.

Wherever we see heart in the New Testament, it's talking about the soul that is your mind, your will, your emotions.

Out of my mind, therefore out of my mouth came my no.

Because I changed my mind, right?

Therefore I changed my confession.

Man, this is so important.

So Jesus says to this man at the pool of Bethesda, rise, take up your bed and walk.

Now he's telling him to do something that we know that he can't do.

He's A par.

He's.

He's paralyzed.

He's by the.

He's by the pool.

He's been lying there for 38 years since he's been able to walk.

And he's Jesus, coming along with the word, telling him, rise.

Rise means to get up.

It also means something more than that.

He's literally telling him to get up.

Get that mat that you've been laying on, take up your pity party bed and toddle off home.

You're done with this.

This sickness is over.

There's something that got this man's attention.

You know, you would think if you went up to an invalid and told them to get up and walk that they might be slightly offended.

But these words contained power.

You see, in every word from God, there's more than enough power to fulfill it.

More than enough power.

Every word.

When we confess the word of God, it's not just abracadabra.

It's not an empty word.

It's not man's opinion.

There's literal power in these words.

The power that you need to walk in health is written in the word of God.

It needs to come up and out of your mouth.

Amen.

This is so important.

So what does this mean?

Jesus said to him, rise, Take up your bed and walk.

Well, the word rise is written in a particular tense.

And the tense is important because the tense is.

Is a continuous action, is an imperative aorist tense, and it's a commandment which demands immediately obedience.

And so the way that he said this, it wasn't like he was saying, now, please, Mr. Man by the Pool of Bethesda, please, would you just try doing something that you couldn't do before?

Would you just try getting up out of your bed?

Would you just try walking?

I know this might be difficult for you.

No.

The tense in which this was written was a commandment that requires full and immediate obedience.

He wasn't saying please to this man.

He was making a demand on him.

Man, that's bold.

And it also.

It's a continuous action.

The tense it's written in means it's a continuous action.

He was saying, you do this now and you keep doing this.

It starts now, and this forever is the way that it will be.

You rise up, you start walking, and you keep walking.

You know, the very word rise, aside from the tense that it was written in, it means this.

It means to rise up, obviously, but it means to.

It actually means to awaken from disease, death, or sleep.

It means to awaken.

Think about this for a moment.

If Jesus came to you and looked you in your eyeballs, in your beady little eyes, and says, arise.

Get up out of this death.

Get up out of this sleep.

Get up out of this disease.

And he said it with boldness, man, that would get your attention.

That's exactly what he's saying to you today.

That's exactly.

It also means this, to collect one's faculties.

Now, the faculties ask the way that you think, right?

That's why we have faculty, the thinkers in a college.

They're part of the faculty.

Your faculty, your thinking.

He was saying to this man, get a grip of your mind.

Get a grip of the way that you are thinking.

Change your mind about how you see yourself.

This man has seen himself as a victim.

He'd been a victim for 38 years.

But Jesus was telling him to do something he couldn't do before.

And the only way that he was going to be able to do that was to change his mind.

We are literally seeing a man here with a transformation at the realm of his soul.

His healing started to manifest in the way that he was thinking before he even started to see it in his physical flesh.

He said to him, take up your bed and look.

Immediately the man was healed, took up his bed and walked.

And that day was the Sabbath.

The Jews therefore said to him that he was cured.

It's the Sabbath day.

It's not lawful for you to carry a bed.

Isn't that like sometimes, you know, you go to stand in faith, you go to make a move.

You go to confess the word of God over your situation.

And here comes the people, the religious people, the people that you're challenging now by stepping out in faith.

You know, when you believe God, that's going to change.

That's going to challenge people.

Some people are terrified of change.

They do not want to see change in their circumstances.

They.

And the change in you convicts them.

So they rise up against it, right?

And they criticize and they try to restrain and they try to make him sit back down again.

Can you imagine saying to somebody that was once paralyzed, that just stood up and started to walk for the first time, you need to get back down onto your bed.

You're not allowed to carry that thing.

I mean, how ridiculous.

Some people are so identified by.

By the law, by the way of bondage, by the lies of the enemy, that they are unwilling or unable to change.

They just won't allow that into their mindset.

But he answered them.

He, he who healed me said to me, take up your bed and walk.

This man that was once has now tasted freedom after being sick for 38 years.

He wasn't about to go back and get back in the wheel, go back and lay down on the floor.

He didn't.

He wasn't going to go back.

He determined in his heart.

He drew the line in his hand that says, there's no going back.

I'm not going back.

I'm not going back to victim mindset.

I'm not going back to acting sick.

I'm not going back to laying by the pool and being dependent on everybody else.

I'm not going back to how I once was.

You see, I have received a word from the healer and it has changed me.

It has changed me.

And I don't care whether you can see it on the outside or not.

I have received a word from the healer and I'm following his instruction.

Man, that's powerful.

That's powerful.

If we will do what this man did right here and we will receive a word of instruction from the Lord.

You know, Jesus is the word became flesh, the word that was sent to heal us and follow his instructions, we're going to see the same results today.

So they asked him, who is that man that said, take up your bed and walk.

Now, the man didn't know who it was for Jesus had withdrawn.

It says, there was a crowd in that place.

This place was a busy area.

But Jesus found him later and look at what he says to him.

This is really interesting.

In verse 14, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, see, you have become whole.

You have become whole.

Now, he didn't say, you've become healed.

He asked him earlier, do you want to be healed?

But here he's saying, you've become whole.

This is a different word than he used before.

This is hijis.

This means restored.

Nothing missing, nothing broken.

He was restored.

He didn't just receive a physical healing in his flesh.

He didn't just receive his nerves come back to life again or whatever the cause of that paralysis resolved.

No, this man became whole.

His soul had been restored.

His identity.

Identity had been changed.

Man, this is important because some of us need an.

Almost like a healing in the realm of our soul.

You know, the Lord can restore your soul.

He says, the Lord restores your soul.

We found this last week.

We talked about this in Psalm 23.

The Lord restores your soul, real healing.

It affects a spirit, soul and body.

This man became whole.

Now look at what he says next.

Sin no more, lest something worse comes upon you.

Now, some people have taken this out of context to Mean that you know, if you sin, sickness is your own fault.

Well, I think this is really interesting because you know the same cure that cured sin, Jesus, same payment also paid for sickness.

So if sin's been cut off, the root of sickness, the root of sin has been cut off the fruit, the symptoms have been cut off also.

But look at this.

He says sin no more.

Now the word sin is not talking about now.

It can mean to miss the mark.

That is the common exclamation explanation rather of the word sin.

But it means more than this.

It means to err in one's thinking, to make a mistake in the way that you think.

Now this, this marries up perfectly to when Jesus said to this man, rise up and walk.

Jesus said to this man, get a grip in the way that you're thinking.

And here he is in his follow up saying, don't go back to that thinking anymore.

You've been changed.

You've been set free from a victim mindset.

You no longer are the victim sitting by the pool.

Now you are victorious and your body is testifying to the glory of God.

Don't go back to the way that you were thinking, lest those symptoms, that fruit of sin comes back in your body again, man.

A worse thing could happen to you.

He's saying, don't go back.

You've been changed.

Let that, let the power of God, let the word of God transform you, metamorphosize, transform.

Don't be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the Word.

And let that come out of your mouth, come out of your actions.

And don't go back to sickness again.

Don't go back to sick thinking.

Don't go back to victim mentality.

Don't go back to sitting by the pool wondering why everyone else can't help you.

Recognize that you have victory in Christ.

The power of God, the healing power of God on the inside of you.

That is a force to be reckoned with.

That's enough force in, in you that when you'll know comes out of your mouth, I'm telling you, those symptoms will have to flee.

They cannot stay.

Man that is so powerful out of the abundance of the heart.

Let your confession speak of a changed mind and a changed heart that identifies more with the promises of God and the healing power within you than it does within the the symptoms that are within your flesh.

You are healed of the Lord today.

He paid for you to be well.

The Lamb of God, the sacrificial lamb made a way for you to receive his healing power.

You know When Jesus died on the cross, we remind ourselves when we take communion.

Hey, that's another seed that I didn't even in intention here.

But you know when we take communion, Jesus said take and eat in remembrance of me that my body was broken for you and my blood was shed for you.

You know sometimes we, we take the the communion cup and remember the blood in the wine and we remember that symbolic of the blood of Jesus paying the being the payment for our sin.

Well also he says you take the bread and you eat in remembrance of me.

The bought my body that was broken for you.

That means his body that was broken and is now healed.

In the same way that his blood paid for you to be free from sin, his broken body paid for you to be healed from sickness.

Don't pick up only one part of the element, you pick up both and say these apply to me.

Amen.

He was the passover lamb.

He was the sacrifice.

I'm standing up, I'm rising them up.

I'm ready to get up on out of my seat and pray for somebody.

Hallelujah.

So if you are watching this today because you know that you have sickness in your body, I want you to know that the power of God on the inside of you, he who is in you is far greater than any sickness that tries to be plaguing you.

Sickness does not own you.

It's not who you are.

You know the same Jesus that healed me from epilepsy 20 years ago is the same Jesus today that I rely on for healing, for cold symptoms or flu, or to protect me or to provide for me.

It's the same, it's the same thing.

We need to understand this and apply this to everyday life.

Remember, rise up, keep, start walking and keep on walking.

Don't quit.

You're going to get a victory.

You're going to win.

You have the victory, you're going to start to see it in your flesh.

So let's take a moment and pray.

Father God, I just thank you Lord, I thank you that it is your will for us to be well and right now we receive that healing power in our physical body.

In Jesus name we take authority over every lie of the enemy, over all sickness, over all diseases, disease.

And right now we command those fistulas to.

To be cut off.

We can run those tubes to be disconnected in Jesus name.

Those pathways that shouldn't be there to be blocked off.

Thank you, Lord.

There's.

There's.

It's interesting.

I see some.

There's a severing of some connections in the body that were not supposed to be there.

In the realm of fistulas and adhesions and passages, nerve bundles and connections, there's missed connections in the body and that are being rerouted and, and severed.

And there's others blockages that are being removed.

I specifically see a removal of blockages in the circulation.

And there's fatty deposits that are causing congestion in the body that are being obliterated right now.

Fatty deposits and calcium, specifically calcium deposits that are causing all kinds of problems right now.

We command those calcium deposits to be broken up and just removed from the bloodstream in Jesus name.

Right now.

We command that bacterial overgrowth to be removed in Jesus name C. Difficile.

Be removed.

Right now we just command that to be gone from you.

Be gone for you in Jesus name.

Thank you, Lord.

There are some nerves that have been.

I see nerves that have been burnt actually.

And I think these are chemical burns.

It's almost like there's chemical burns whether they're inside or outside.

But it's damaged nerves in the body.

Nerves are sensitive because they're meant to be that way, but they're sensitive to chemical reactions.

And I see chemical burns inside and outside of the body as a reaction to treatments that have treatments and contact somebody's had.

I see a chemical burn between the toes, which is strange but.

And it's.

There's scar tissue.

I see scar tissue as well.

And nerves in the feet particularly that have been damaged and in.

Just in the extremities right now I command that damage to be removed and those nerves to come back to life.

Right now we command healing and restoration.

We command those nerves to come back to life in Jesus name.

Thank you Lord.

Somebody has a cyst.

I see a cyst on a kidney.

Actually there are two cysts in different places.

One's larger, one's smaller.

Right now we command those cysts to be shriveled up to be removed in Jesus name.

And be removed in Jesus name.

Thank you Lord.

Thank you.

There's somebody.

You have a pinching of a nerve in the back of your eye.

I think this might be the optic nerve.

But there is like, there is a pinching.

I'm seeing a pinched nerve and like a compression syndrome.

One is in the back of the eye and one is on one of the arteries or veins that's coming out of a kidney.

And you've been to like a nephrologist, but there's a pressure, a compression on an artery or a vein, a structure that's coming out of the kidney right now.

We release.

We command that to be released.

In Jesus name name.

We command that and all of its lying symptoms, that pressure, that compression to be released.

We command the compression in the back of the eye and the optic nerve to be released.

In Jesus name.

It's causing like a double vision and a blur.

Double.

I see double vision right now.

We command that vision to come back into a straightness.

Somebody's eyes being pulled to the side by a muscle problem that some, some sort of damaged happened.

And one of your eyes is, is moving to the, to the side.

We command those nerves and those muscles to be created again perfect.

Nothing missing, nothing broken.

There's micro tears.

Eyes in tendons that are being restored right now.

We command those eyes to come back to center.

Thank you, Lord.

We declare victory.

We declare.

Virus symptoms gone, sore throats gone, headaches gone, fever come down.

In Jesus name.

Somebody's.

You are.

You have recovered.

You're not infectious from something anymore, but you are left with a weakness.

Just a tiredness like.

Like you're not back at full strength yet.

Right now, we command your body to come back to full strength.

I speak full strength over you.

Strength and.

And no needs to, you know, I mean, nap if you want to during the day just for fun, but not because you need to.

Right now, I speak strength.

Cleaning house.
