Welcome back to Power Hour, where we believe it is God’s will for you to be well! In this episode, Carlie Terradez returns from an incredible ministry trip to South Africa—sharing powerful testimonies, miracles, and what God is doing through Terradez Ministries across the continent.

Then she continues the A to Z of Healing series with the letter X: “X Marks the Day.” This message is all about defining moments—those times when you draw a line in the sand and decide, “Today is my day. I’m receiving what God has already promised me.”

Using Scriptures like Isaiah 43:18–19 and Philippians 3:13, Carlie encourages you to stop letting the past shape your expectations, and instead turn forward in faith—because God is doing a new thing in your life now. You’ll also hear powerful examples of “point of contact” faith—from Hannah’s healing testimony, to the four lepers in 2 Kings 7, to why bold expectation can shift an entire situation.

If you’ve been battling disappointment, fear of hoping again, or feeling stuck in old identities (sickness, failure, lack), this episode will stir your faith and help you make a fresh decision: Today is the day. X marks the day.

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.

Welcome to Power Hour.

Man, it's been a while since I've been in the chair.

Here I am in my office and man, it's a beautiful, cold, wintry day in Colorado.

And we have had such a fun time.

Though, if you.

If you haven't been following our adventures and keeping up with our journeys.

We just got back from Africa and so we did a tour of South Africa.

We went to Johannesburg, we went to Kimberly, and we went to Neither and Cape Town.

So we did like a little.

Was out for about 12 days, and we ministered a bunch of times in different places.

We did church services, we did an Abundant Life event, like a conference.

We did a pastor's breakfast.

I mean, it was awesome.

We went.

We went everywhere, did everything, saw the people, saw lots of miracles.

And so make sure you go back on our Facebook and you get to catch up with our adventures.

I think it might be on YouTube as well.

Let me just tell you a bit about our time in Africa because, you know, this was a really powerful trip that we went on and God always really speaks to our Ashley and I.

And this is one of the.

One of the many reasons we love going to Africa.

We try and go every year, and we actually have a headquarters in Johannesburg.

We have a whole team.

So we have a team of staff here that works for Terrorist Ministries in Colorado and a whole other team that works over there in Johannesburg.

And, you know, we have TV editors, we have people that answer the phones.

We have people that print and ship products out.

We have people that take care of our partners.

So there's a whole operation over there.

And so we love to go over and see our staff.

But there's something real special about when we go over to.

When we go, particularly when we go to the continent of Africa, we just find that God really expands our vision.

And Ash and I really look forward to it.

And there's a real.

There's a real hunger in Africa for receiving the Word.

And we just.

God has given us a real love for the continent.

And so we're on television there every day on TBN Africa and Faith TV as well, right there across the continent.

So people can tune in and people just respond really well.

And to the Word.

They just respond to the gospel, to the message of, of hope, to Jesus.

And we're just honored to be able to, to carry that and share that with people.

So everywhere that we went, we had just really good turnout.

All of our events and everywhere that we went, we saw people that were healed, that were baptized in the Holy Spirit.

It was a super powerful time.

And the testimonies that came forward are just phenomenal.

One that really stood out for me in one of the places we went there in the Western Cape was a man that went to the doctors like a week, a week before and he had, he had had 80% loss of vision in his, in his eye.

And it was because he had a problem with his optic nerve.

And so he was going to have to go back to the doctors the following Monday.

Like a week later.

On the Sunday night, we did a healing service.

And he wasn't at that healing service, but during that healing service, which was live streamed, you can go back and watch.

I had a word of knowledge for someone.

God was healing somebody with a problem with inflammation in the optic nerve and he was restoring vision to that eye.

And this gentleman, he had to make that hospital visit that, that second doctor's appointment and it was on the Monday, but it was quite far away.

So on the, he had had a long drive so on the way out to that doctor's appointment and he listened, him and his wife listened to our Sunday night message from that healing service and that word of knowledge was on there.

And you know, sure enough he had had inflammation in his optic nerve and that's why he'd had vision loss.

And well, by the time that he hears that on the way, by the time that he gets to the appointment and they examine him again, the doctor says, I don't know what's happened to you in this last week, but you've gone from 80% vision loss to 75% sight in that eye.

Amen.

That's quite a drastic turner and that is, that's miraculous.

Only God can do that.

We just, you know, we had people testifying from, for being healed of things that they had suffered with for like decades.

And that is always just such a privilege to be a part of that.

So thank you partners.

You sent us to Africa.

You're part of all of those miracles.

And please go back and watch those testimonies.

We love to get people up testifying.

If you've been to one of our, who here has been to one of our live events, Put your hand up.

If you've been to.

It's up being in school, isn't it?

Put your hand up if you've been to one of our live events.

Because we do as many live events as we can and God has really been speaking to us.

This, this is part of what I was getting at.

When we go to Africa, God expands our vision.

So God has really been expanding our vision about those events and how that's all going to work out.

But yeah, if you've been to a live event, one of the.

You'll know that we preach the word.

We have great worship.

We preach the Word and then we always pray for the sick.

We pray for the sick and then we get people not testifying.

And, and oftentimes we'll have people born again.

We'll have people filled with the Holy Spirit, and we'll get their prayer language for the first time.

And it's just something really powerful.

You know, when people have been baptized with the Holy Spirit, they've already experienced the power of God working in their body and then receiving.

Healing is really easy.

And so then we have all these people.

All these people have been to those live events.

Alicia, Jewel, Anita, Petra, you've all been to our live events.

That's really cool.

You know, is.

It's great.

I'm so thankful that we can do these live streams.

But there is something special about coming together as a body of believers.

There's an atmosphere of faith that's.

That's unique, you know, and, and I think it's scripture.

And scripture says don't forsake the gathering of the believers.

And so whether that's in your church on a Sunday, it's a church, church service service, or whether it's midweek event, you know, there's something about being with other people that's really, really powerful.

And people just get stirred up in faith and there's like an atmospheric charge in a spiritual realm where people receive.

You know, we have some events coming up as well.

After Christmas, we have some events, our Abundant Life event in Phoenix.

And then the following month in February, we have it in Orlando.

And those are going to be really, really powerful.

So make sure you attend those.

But Africa was awesome.

We got back on Monday and what is it now?

Thursday.

I feel like my brain is still a little bit scrambled eggs from the time difference.

But bear with me, right?

If I, if I don't make much sense, then you'll know why.

But today I want to talk about.

We're going through the A to Z of healing.

The A to Z of healing.

And we are all the way through to X. W, X.

Yes, we're all the way through to X.

And what do you do for X and the Alphabet when you're trying to make an Alphabet of healing?

Well, you know what it came up with?

X marks the day.

X marks the day.

And I started to think about, you know, sometimes there's moments in your life where you just, like you say, now's the time, now's the moment.

You know, today is the day.

X doesn't just mark the spot on the date on the calendar, but it is a defining moment in your life.

When you, when you put your stake of faith in the ground and say that promise that the Lord has for me, that is for me today.

That is for me today.

It's almost like we come to a decision point, a point of contact, a touch point.

And we see this often in events, actually, because people in their heart say, when I get to that event, when that person lay hands, hands on me, when they pray for me, when they speak a word, you know that my, my healing is in that place.

I'm going there to receive.

And so often people receive at those gatherings, when people come together not because they couldn't receive in their lounge, at home, sitting on their couch, or listening in their car or on a live stream six months later, but because somewhere in their heart they placed an expectation that said, this is my moment.

And I want to encourage you today, wherever you're watching this live stream from, whether you're listening to it actually live or whether you're listening to it way later, but the word of God doesn't have an expiration date.

It doesn't have an expiration date.

And we can set our hearts, we can just decide in our heart today that we, that we will receive.

That if God has said it and not healing, he's already sent his word and healed us.

He's always made his mind up.

His.

His will for you is already healing, right?

If Jesus already paid for it, it's a done deal.

We don't have to do anything else.

But there's a point in, in our heart where we set, when we respond in faith and say, then I'm taking it.

It's me mine.

And that's why.

That's what I got from X marks the day.

You know, today's the day.

Write it down, mark it down.

You might need to write in your journal or mark it on your calendar or make a note on your phone or whatever you do, but say, today is my day.

Today is the day.

That I'm going to receive what the Lord has for me.

And I started reading this is our Abundant Life365 journal.

We and Ashley and I do our devotions every morning.

And I thought, this is so good.

This is today's devotional.

So if you don't have the journey, if you don't have the devotion, I'm going to read you.

This is.

I'm.

This is.

Today's date is November 20th, so I'm going to read November 20th.

And this comes from Isaiah 43, verse 18 to 19.

And it says, do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.

Behold, I will do a new thing now.

It shall spring forth.

Shall you not know it.

I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Look at this.

This is.

This is really.

I'm just going to read it from the devotional because this was inspired when it was written.

It's good now.

Unexpected opportunities and fresh beginnings are part of God's nature.

He's always at work leading his people into something greater.

That's for you.

God is leading you into something greater with its freedom from sickness or freedom from poverty or whatever it is, freedom from fear, whatever it is.

God is leading you into something better.

And remember this as well, because we are about to cross over into the new year.

The Lord always gives me a word for the new year.

So I haven't had that download yet, but I will share it when I have it.

But he's leading you into something greater.

It says this verse as an invitation to stop looking backwards and to embrace the new things that he's bringing into our life.

God is doing a new thing.

He says in that verse in Isaiah 43, behold, I will do a new thing now.

Now, today, X marks the day.

Write it down.

It should spring forth.

Something is bubbling up on the inside of you.

And I've just had this picture that there are people that are spiritually pregnant.

You need to get.

You'd be pregnant with a.

With a child, but you can be spiritually pregnant as well.

God wants to birth something in you.

And some of us are close to delivery, and some of us are close to conception, and some of us are right in the middle of the trimesters, right?

But you are pregnant with something.

God has.

Has put something on the inside of you, something new that he is doing, something new that he wants for you.

He has put his promises on the inside.

And there's going to come a point where you cannot contain them anymore.

They're going to Spring forth.

And the Lord says, look, I will make a row, even make a road in the wilderness.

And rivers in the desert, roads in the wilderness, roads where there aren't no roads, streams where there is dry ground.

This is talking about even when the circumstances don't look favorable, even though there might not look like any hope in the natural.

And God can bring life into dead places.

He can make a way where there seems to be no way.

He can create life out of dust.

Right.

I'm like that.

There is.

There is a way for you.

There is a breakthrough for you.

There is a path for you.

There's provision for you there.

There's a life source for you.

Amen.

And it comes by tapping into the very life of Christ is on the inside of you.

Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

We're so attached to the things that went before us, the things in the past, but we can't see what God is doing in the future.

He's doing something for you.

Amen.

Yes.

You're pregnant with healing.

Hallelujah.

He says, look, the command do not remember the former things.

It doesn't mean that we should erase the past from our minds, but rather that we should not allow it to shape our expectations of the future.

This is.

This is huge.

You know, we just have a book come out called the Power of Expectation, one of our many books.

It comes from my teaching on the Power of Expectation.

And, you know, this is huge because we don't realize sometimes that we don't receive something.

We can't.

We can't seem to grasp something because we have.

Our expectation is constantly negative.

It's so attached to the things that went behind us in the past that we can't change, that it actually hinders us from moving forward into the things that we can change, the things that we can influence and the things that God has for us.

You know, the Apostle Paul really understood this.

He.

He.

He says in.

In Philippians, he says, actually it's here in Philippians 3:13.

It says, for forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to the things which are ahead.

You know, this is so important because God has more in store for us than what is behind us.

You are not the sum of your past mistakes.

You know, for some of us, failure has become a whole identity.

We feel like we failed it.

Receiving from God.

We feel like we failed in faith.

We feel like we failed as a mother.

We feel like we failed as a.

As a wife or, you know, husband or what, whatever.

We feel like we found, as, you know, in our place in the family, in, in financially, in business, Maybe you've had a marriage that's failed.

You know, failure can, and especially repeated failures in certain aspects of your life can leave us with that feeling like we're just a failure.

It's not something that happened to me, it's not something that I went through.

It wasn't an event.

But it becomes an identity, you know, this, that, and that really hinders you expecting anything good.

Because hope deferred makes the heart sick.

And so this problem is, you know, when, when God says, here are all these promises, here's healing for you, his freedom for you, his deliverance for you, his peace for you, his prosperity for you, There's a part of us that holds back, thinking, I don't want to be disappointed again.

I'm afraid to trust God, I'm afraid to possess that promise.

Because what if I get disappointed?

What if it doesn't turn out how I think it's going to?

I rather not hope for anything hope and be disappointed.

And when we're in that trap, that failure produces, that hopelessness that failure produces, that disappointment produces.

You know, faith gets squashed, faith gets stifled.

Expectation just diminishes to it till it, until it's really low.

We get.

So looking back, have you ever tried running facing the wrong way?

So running backwards, I mean, how did that work out for you?

You know, kids like to try these things, right?

But if you try to do.

Running a marathon is hard enough, life is like a marathon.

But have you ever tried running a marathon backwards?

I mean, what do you think that the personal best time would be?

I mean, it's going to be like at least twice as slow as if you were running forward.

And then the chances of tripping, the chances of falling, the chances of crashing into someone, or how are you even going to find your way if you're not?

You know, because you can look over your shoulder a little bit, but your view is limited when you're running backwards.

You don't have a full on face front view.

You're not gonna, you're not gonna be able to see very well.

You might get lost, you might not find your way, you might take a wrong turn.

You know, when we're looking backwards at everything that's gone on in the past and rather than looking forwards, we're gonna be more likely to make a mistake, we're gonna be more likely to stumble, more likely to lose our way, more likely to crash and actually have a failure.

Then if we were to look forward to, but in order to look forward, you can't be running backwards, looking over your shoulder.

Your neck can only turn that far.

It's impossible.

You don't have eyes in the back of your head, which takes a decision to stop and turn around and face forwards.

This is what the Apostle Paul is talking about.

He had to do something different.

You know, he says in Philippians, I'm going to read this again, Philippians 3:13.

Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things that are ahead.

You know, this was the man that actually persecuted the Way, which was the name of the new believers, the, the first church, the early church.

He was the one that signed the death warrant for Stephen and held the coats while they stoned him.

Paul was responsible for the massacre of the early church.

Paul was personally responsible.

He was so zealous to protect the doctrine as a Pharisee that he went out and searched out Christians to kill them.

And yet God took his life.

He literally arrested him.

He had the, he had that experience on the road to Damascus when God himself spoke from heaven and said to him, paul, Paul, why are you persecuting me?

God was saying, when those Christians, when those believers were persecuted, he took it personally.

You know, when the enemy came against you with fear, with failure, with defeat, with disappointment, with hopelessness, God take it, takes it personally.

You know, the, the enemy will have to pay for the things he's put you through, by the way.

But you know what?

Paul did it in that moment was he repented, he turned around and he followed after the Lord and God and, and if anyone has the authority to say, you, we, in order to move forward and grasp a hold of what God has for us, we have to put our stake in the ground and say, I'm, I'm.

I'm forgetting those things that went behind me and I'm reaching forward.

He said this one thing that I do is forget those things which were behind.

Why?

Because if that if those experiences is.

If his previous life, if all of the murder, if all of the destruction, if the, the guilt and the shame of everything that Paul had done when he was Saul, right before he had that encounter on the road to Damascus, if he had taken that into his heart and carried it with him, God would not have been able to use him to write, you know, at least a third of the New Testament and impact the world for Christ.

I mean, the Apostle Paul is a legend, but in order to do the things that he did, the things, the mighty miracles, and have the influence over the body of Christ, that He still has today to, you know, 2,000 years later, he had to let go of some things.

He had to.

He had to say, today's the day when he met God on that road to Damascus.

And God changed his heart.

He had to let go of his failures, his previous identity, and turn around and pursue what God was calling him to do.

He had to literally have an identity change, an identity change where he.

And that's why God changed his name from Saul to Paul.

He says, you're not who you once were.

You're a new creature in Christ Jesus.

That is a revelation that could help you today.

You know Christ has set you free.

You are not who you once were.

You know, when, when before you got born again, maybe you struggled with all kinds of things, but the minute you got born again, you became alive.

You became a new creature, like a creature that has never ever been created before in Christ.

2nd Corinthians 5:17.

Behold, all things have passed away.

Old things have passed away.

You've become a brand new creature in Christ.

All things have become new.

Now you're spiritually alive in Christ.

To keep identifying with how you used to be before you got saved and how the world says you were and the identity.

And maybe that was an identity of sickness, you know, before you go, before you get born again, the enemy has every right to mess with you.

Sickness comes from the enemy, not from God.

Before you get bored again, you have no power and no authority over the works of the enemy in your life.

This is what, this is really true.

Listen, if you're, if you're watching this today and you're not born again, I can pray for your healing and we can see you healed.

That's not, that's not an issue.

But you know, you have no authority over the enemy.

So it won't be a long time before if you don't get born again and receive Christ, those symptoms will come back and they'll stick worse than they were before.

Man, who cares about, you know, your temporary comfort in this life if you're not going to spend eternity in heaven, man, I don't want to make you comfortable in this life and then see, you know, but, but you, your eternal salvation is not secure.

That's craziness.

If you want to have authority over this life, you have to walk in through this life with Christ.

Christ gives us authority as believers over the work of sickness, over the power of Satan in, in our bodies and in the world around us.

And we do not have that power.

We do not have that authority.

We do not have that right.

For healing is not a right until you get born again.

Healing is a right as part of the new, as a new covenant.

A New Testament believer that you have in Christ.

When you get born again, you don't have any rights over the enemy.

You don't have any influence over the powers of darkness in this world.

Until you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you know you cannot detach yourself from your previous life and make this turnaround and stake your claim.

Say you know, today's the day X marks the spot in my life.

Until you get born again, it's.

It's just behavior modification.

So I'm gonna.

I'm gonna pray a prayer.

And if you're watching this today and you're not born again, I want you, you can all join in this, okay?

But we need, we need, you need to be born again.

That's the only way that you can have authority over the enemy and freedom from sickness in this life.

And know that you're gonna have eternal life in Christ.

That's the only way that your sin can be forgiven.

So you can.

You can repeat after me, Jesus, I recognize that you are my Lord and Savior.

That you died for my sin, that you took the punishment for my sin, for everything that I did wrong.

I recognize I'm a sinner.

But you died in my place.

And you rose again on the third day.

Amen.

And now I.

So that I can be free.

And right now, Lord, I repent of my sin.

I recognize that I need you to be my Savior.

And I ask you to be mine.

To be my Lord, to be my Savior.

I receive your forgiveness in Jesus name.

Thank you, Lord.

I receive that forgiveness.

I am saved.

I am a new creature in Christ.

Lord, come and dwell on the inside of me.

I make you the Lord of my life.

I submit my life to you.

Amen.

Now, if you prayed, pray like that or something like that for the first time.

Welcome to the family.

You are born again.

You're born again.

Amen.

And we actually have a.

We actually have a free book for you.

It's called your life, your life with God.

And it's going to explain what just happened to you.

So if you just got born again, make sure you contact us.

In fact, our team can put that link up that booklet, your Life with God booklet, and you can download that.

You're also going to need the baptism, the Holy Spirit, and speaking in tongues.

But you know what?

Read the book.

It'll explain everything.

You'll get there.

But now when you're born again.

Now that you're born again, whether you've been born again 50 years or five minutes, you know your life has changed.

You have a new identity now.

You have the ability to forget those things which are behind you.

And the Holy Spirit can help you with that.

So he says, you do not remember the former things doesn't mean that we should erase the past from our minds, but rather we should not allow it to shape our expectations of the future.

Dwelling on past failures can keep us stuck in regret, whilst holding on to past successes can prevent us for stepping into new opportunities.

Both of those are traps.

God is not limited by past circumstances or obstacles.

No matter what has happened before, he's always waking, working to bring fresh provision, new opportunities and unexpected breakthroughs.

He asks, shall you not know it?

You know we're reading, if you're just joining us from Isaiah 43, it says in it, shout, behold, I'm doing a new thing now.

It shall spring forth.

Shall you not know?

He's asking you a question here.

Shall you not know it, man?

This is a challenge for us to open our eyes in faith and recognize his work, even when we cannot see it yet, even when we can't see the full picture yet.

You know, I said at the beginning that I believe that God showed me that some of us are pregnant.

We're pregnant maybe physically, but we're pregnant spiritually.

We're pregnant with something on the inside.

People are saying, I'm pregnant with healing.

I'm pregnant with prosperity.

God is doing something on the inside of you.

Yes, he's provided a promise for you, but now it's in the creation phase.

The minute that we put faith in the promises of God that Grace has provided, they start to be created on the inside.

Just like when a woman gets pregnant.

You know that that baby is conceived at conception when the egg and the sperm meet this conception.

But it takes nine months for that baby to be created, to be formed, to grow before anyone on the outside can see the evidence of that life on the inside, there's a creation phase that is going on.

God is doing something on the inside of you.

Something new, something new, something fresh, fresh, something amazing.

And it's that.

But you know, there's going to come a day where you labor and you deliver whatever it is that God has birthed on the inside of you, man.

This is a new thing.

But in order to get there, we got to let go of those things that were hanging along, right?

Even in barren places, it says, God makes a way.

You know, where There seems to be no way.

God makes a way.

He provides where provision seems impossible.

Somebody needs to hear that today.

He provides.

Stop looking at the money, stop looking at the dollar amount, stop looking at the pounds, stop looking at the rand or whatever your currency is.

Stop looking at the number.

You know, provision is not a number.

Provision is a force, is a provision of God is an abundance.

It goes beyond what you even need in the natural.

And it says here, look.

He provides provision where it seems impossible.

Just as he has made a path for the in the Red sea in Exodus 14 and provided water from a rock in Exodus 17.

Healed in the impossible for your life, man.

He is the God of the impossible.

All things are possible through him who believes this is so important but God?

For God to do the impossible in our life, there needs to be a defining moment where we say, I believe it, Lord.

I believe in your promises above the circumstances.

You know, I'm thinking about when our daughter Hannah was a little girl.

I'm not going to go through the whole story because many of you have.

I've heard that before.

The Testament is actually on our website.

Okay.

But, you know, she was really sick and we took her to an event and we had a pray for.

She was given days to live.

She had an autoimmune disease.

And one of the, the major things with Hannah, she couldn't eat any food.

She was on a feeding tube.

You know, she was literally like a skeleton about to die.

She's three years old.

And, you know, we prayed a prayer for her.

We prayed many prayers for her.

But when, but something happened in our hearts when we went to the event.

We, we felt like that was a defining moment.

And it wasn't even born out of desperation.

You know, it was a miracle that we managed to buster out the hospital in the first place.

But, you know, it was, it was something that happened in our hearts.

We had stirred ourselves up in the word of God.

We had a picture of a well child in our spirits.

We could see our daughter Hannah as a well child.

We could see God had given me dreams and visions of her future and that, you know, the doctors are like, she's going to be dead in a few days.

And yet we're having dreams and visions of a future of a life that she hadn't lived yet, and all of the things that, that she was going to accomplish.

And these were, there was, were years in the future.

And I know that God wouldn't give us a picture of the future if it.

Something was supposed to come to an end.

That.

That doesn't even make sense.

And so we went to that, that conference with really an expectation in our heart that we hadn't had before.

We were like, this is where.

This is the moment.

This is.

X marks the.

The spot, Max marks the day.

This is it.

This is our defining moment.

This is.

This is our point of decision.

We're going to.

To.

To take back what the enemy stole.

We're going to come back from here with a healed baby.

And so we went to that event with expectation in our heart rather than the prognosis of the doctors and, you know, whatever.

It's like a magnifying glass, right?

It says, the Lord says we should magnify His Word even above his name.

We should magnify the scriptures, the promises of God above anything else.

And we had been doing that.

We've been magnifying the Word and kind of, you know, when you magnify something, you put a magnifying glass over it, you know, the image gets bigger.

So whatever you focus on, you know, gets bigger.

That's.

That's how the word.

That's what the word magnify means.

And we started to do that with healing and the promise of healing for Hannah, even though at that time she was still dying.

So there was some groundwork, there's some preparation before we even got to that meeting.

But definitely we sat through those meetings and finally, you know, she couldn't even be in the meeting, she was so sick.

We was out in the side room and.

And the speaker, Andrew Wommack, who's the speakers meeting, came into that, to that side room to pray for her.

And, you know, there was nothing, nothing really super spiritual about that prayer.

He was a simple prayer of authority over the sickness in the name of Jesus.

That was it.

It was a simple prayer.

But after he had left, nothing changed in the natural.

You know, Hannah looked just as sick as she did after the prayer, as she.

As she did before the prayer.

And, you know.

You know, this is an interesting comment on how do you know the.

The difference between a real expectation and that type of hype?

You know, a real expectation.

It's not something that comes from the outside in.

It's something that comes from the inside out.

And we had an expectation because it was in us.

It was.

God had.

We had conceived it like that.

Like we were pregnant with it.

We were pregnant with that miracle.

We had seen it.

We had lived it by faith already.

Like, it wasn't just desperation.

Like, it was.

It was real.

And that.

Because that was real, even though the prayer that was prayed over Hannah was not spectacular.

No one like angels and cherubims and gold dust.

You know, when Andrew left the room, I'm left there with Hannah on my own.

And I said to her, when she woke up, I said, when you were sleeping, Jesus healed you.

And it came out of me.

I didn't really realize the importance of those words in that moment, but something had changed in us to where we knew that we had prayed according to the word of God, and it was done.

There was a peace in our heart.

This is.

See, this is one of the ways that people like, how do you know if you're in faith?

There's peace?

Peace is a major characteristic of faith, and it's a supernatural peace in the middle of a crazy situation.

You know, every.

All hell could be breaking loose around you, but still you're not moved.

You know, that's one of the indicators that you know that you're grounded now.

The word's real and it wasn't.

We weren't striving.

It was like, no, this word is real.

He sent his word and he healed Hannah.

And we laid hands on Hannah and we prayed a prayer and we spoke.

It was a prayer of faith.

And now we believe that it's done, even though we can't see.

We couldn't see that it was done.

Even though there was no outward signs that it was done, we knew that it was finished in our heart, and there was absolute peace in that.

And what happened next was really us marking the X, marking down the day.

This is our day.

You know, we've prayed a prayer of faith, and God is faithful.

He's already done it.

She's already healed.

Whether we've seen it or not, we know she's already healed.

And that confidence and that peace gave us the boldness to say, whatever happens next, we're going to act like we're healed, because we know we are.

It wasn't.

It wasn't that we acted to prove something, is that our next steps, our next actions, because we believed something.

And there's a huge difference.

You know, we walk by faith and not by sight.

In that moment, we.

We were going to take her out to eat for lunch, something she'd never done in her whole life that she couldn't do.

And yet we.

We had to walk by faith and not by sight because she still looked sick, she still acted sick, she was still weak.

She was still tiny.

Her eyes were still sunken in the head.

She still had translucent skin.

Right?

You know, we had to walk by faith and not by sight.

And that was the point at which we knew because we knew because, you know, she's healed.

Whether or not she ever shows any signs of being healed, she's healed.

That was the moment where we put our stake in the clay, in the ground of faith, and.

And said, you know, we're.

We're going to follow.

We're going to follow the Lord in this, our next actions.

We're going to follow the Lord in this.

And, you know, the end of the story is we took her out to lunch, we unplugged her from all of our machines, and we had to stand upon the word a couple of times in authority as symptoms tried to come back, but she never got plugged back into that machine again.

And that, you know, she was three years old, and now she's 22, right?

So, you know, we're coming up in a.

In a couple of months, she'll be 23, be 20 years since that miracle happened.

And now she's a mummy.

She's got babies.

You know, she's married.

But we.

But there was a defining moment.

And sometimes, you know, people get really intimidated by the prospect of death.

And they'll.

They'll say, I can believe God when it.

You know, I can.

I can be.

I can be stubborn.

I can stand in faith.

I know how to stand when it's a cold and it's not going to kill me when it's an ache and it's going to get better after a few days.

But when it's something.

What if it's something serious?

What if it's a diagnosis?

What if it's.

What if death is on the table?

What are we going to do then?

I want to show you something.

This is in Second Kings, chapter seven, Second Kings, chapter seven.

And these.

These people that we're about to read, they.

They had a situation that was life and death.

Okay?

There was a famine in the land.

It says.

Elijah said, hear the word of the Lord.

Thus says the Lord, tomorrow about this time, a measure of fine flower be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.

Now, this is a time when there was an absolute famine.

People are eating their own kids, eating dung.

Okay?

And yet they're saying, there's good.

This time tomorrow, there's going to be so much food.

There's.

You know, this famine is going to be over.

That food is going to be cheap.

It's not even going to be expensive.

The supplies are going to be so plentiful.

There's going to be so much of it, it's going to be cheap.

This is what the prophet says.

Then an officer whose hand, on whose hat, on whose hand the king of Israel answered the man of God, if the Lord were able to make the windows in heaven, could this thing even happen?

Like, he was basically saying, this would have to be a miracle.

And he said, you will see it the Elijah.

Elisha said, you will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat from it.

That's because he had unbelief.

He's kind of being sarcastic, but look at this.

It says in.

In verse three, there were four leprous men at the entry of the gate.

And leprosy was pretty terminal in those days.

And it isolated people there at the gate because they're not allowed in, the leprous.

And they said to one another, so this whole city is under siege.

The city is locked down in this area, and there's a famine in the land, okay?

There's no food going into the city.

There's no food coming out of the city.

The people inside the city are starving.

The lepers at the gate, okay?

And they said to one another, why are we sitting here until we die?

If we don't move, if we don't make a decision, we're gonna die.

We're gonna die of starvation, we're gonna die of leprosy.

If we do nothing, if we stay in this place of just being comfortable, of not going in anywhere, of not stretching our faith in any area, whatever, we're gonna die.

That.

That's just the natural consequences.

If we say, let us enter the city, the famine is in the city, we shall die there.

You know, the famine was outside the gate just like the famine was inside the gate.

But if we sit here and do nothing, we shall die also.

Death was very, very real.

It was the natural consequence.

It looked like, you know, these were some of the people to go first.

I mean, they're already sick.

They don't have any food.

Everyone's dying around them, okay, if we do nothing, we're going to die.

If we go in the city, we're going to die.

If we, you know, if the death is on the table.

But it says, now, come, let us fall into the camp of the Arameans.

If they spare our lives, we will live, and if they kill us, we'll die.

You know, it's no different because we're going to die anyway.

But there is an opportunity.

If we take a step of faith is what these this is saying, if we take a step of faith, if we make a move and go into the enemy camp that's holding this hostage, this, this city hostage, and causing this famine.

Yeah, they might kill us, but there's a chance that they might not.

But if we stay here, we're going to die.

And if we go to the camp and they kill us, well, you know what?

We were going to die anyway.

We've lost nothing.

We've lost nothing by.

By making a move.

So they rose at twilight to enter the camp of the Arameans.

And when they came to the edge of the camp of the Arameans, there was no one there.

Think about this, how supernatural this is.

The situation that they stepped into was not like their preconceived ideas.

Sometimes we are scared to trust God in an area because maybe we felt like we failed in an era before that for whatever reason, it didn't work out, that we were disappointed.

Hope deferred has made our heart sick.

I don't know, whatever reason, but this.

So.

So it hinders us from moving forward.

But oftentimes when we move forward, we realize that it's not how we thought it was going to be anyway.

It's not how we thought it was going to be anyway.

Look at this.

It says, for the Lord.

Why, why was the enemy not there?

Let's find out.

For the Lord had caused the Aramean camp to hear the sound of chariots, horses, even the sound of a large army.

So that when they said to one another, listen, the king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to come against us.

So they got up and ran away in the twilight and abandoned their tents, their horses, their donkeys.

The camp remained just as it was, and it ran for their lives.

The Lord made the faith of those four lepers so big, so large that it sounded even greater than what it was, and it scared away the enemy.

This is really important.

Someone needs to hear this.

Today, when you take a step of faith, when you believe God, when you put your stake in the ground and say, you know what?

Today's my day.

I'm going to let go of those things in the past.

I'm going to let go of that identity of sickness.

I'm going to let go of those lies of the enemy that I've been listening to my whole life.

I'm going to.

I'm going to say, today something changes.

Today something is birthed.

God has done the impossible in my life.

He's going to Make a way where?

There seems to be no way.

He's going to make a road in the wilderness.

He's going to make a river in the desert.

Lord, I thank you that.

That new thing that you have for me is springing for today, right now, today.

Healing is springing forth today in me, in Jesus name.

When we make that claim, something happens in the spiritual realm where the powers of darkness have to step aside.

God makes our voice bigger in this, even in this natural world than.

Than the.

The forces of darkness can contain.

They will move aside.

When these leprosy, leprous men came to the edge of the camp, they went into one tent, they ate and they drank and they carried off silver and gold and clothes and they went and hid them.

Man, these men were starving and they go into an enemy camp.

They've left behind all of the booty, they've left behind all of their.

Their food that you know, their cooking pots, their meals, their, their.

Their supplies, their gold, their silver.

They've gone from being poor, destitute and starving to suddenly being well fed and rich and their life restored to them, he says.

Then they went back and entered another tent, carried it off, and from there they went and hid the things.

At first they saw that this decision was important for their life.

The decision that they made to trust God in that moment, to take a risk and trust God and make a move and make a step of faith.

It seemed like they were stepping into the impossible.

They thought at first that that decision only affected them.

Then they realized that that decision, the reason it was so important is it had a greater purpose.

In verse nine it says, then they said to one another, we are not doing right today.

This, this is a day of good news.

Somebody write that down.

This today is a day of good news.

Say, today is a day of good news.

Today's a day of good news is my good news.

Hallelujah.

Today is the day.

X marks the spirit spot.

Mark it down.

Today is the day.

He says, if we are silent and we wait until the morning light, will we will be found guilty.

Let us go now and enter the city and tell the king's household.

So they went back and they called to the gatekeepers in the city and told them, we came to a camp of the Arameans.

There was no one there.

We found there was no sound of a man's voice.

Only horses, only horses tied, donkeys tied, and the tents were there.

They told the g. The gatekeepers everything that had happened.

And you know what?

That the prophecy of Elisha came to pass.

They.

That the whole city went out.

They found the spoils of the Arameans.

And that that day, by morning light, food was so abundant, it's abundant that it was sold for cheap.

The word of the prophet had come to pass.

That it came to be that, that decision of those four leprous men when face.

When death was on the table, when their back was against the wall, the.

When there's no other chance.

They said, you know, we have nothing to lose now but to trust God if we die.

Well, we were going to die anyway.

But you know what?

We.

It's better to make a step in faith than die in unbelief.

Man, that's huge.

It's better to take a step of faith than die in unbelief, you know.

Then they made that step.

And not only did they see the impossible situation turned around, but it led everyone else into freedom also.

Today is your day of good news.

Today is your day to put your stake in the ground and say, you know what?

I'm reaching out, I'm touching the hem, I'm, I'm, I'm speaking the word.

Today's my day.

Where, when I, When I, when I pray, when I receive, I will, I shall receive what the Lord has for me today.

You know, the woman with the issue of blood, she set it out in her heart first and then she said it out of her mouth.

When I touched the hem of that garment, I shall be made.

Well, I shall be.

She spoke that out.

That was her ex.

That was her, that was her mark in the day.

That was her point of contact.

You know, for us it was when we go to the event and Hannah gets prayed for, you know, for you watching this today, it might be when Carly prays for me, you know, whatever it is, whatever is your touch point, you can, you can decide your touch point right now.

You can decide your touch point right now.

So let's agree.

Let's pray.

I believe it's time to pray and it's the time to, to stretch out our arms of faith and receive everything that the Lord has for us.

Father God, I thank you that it is your will that we be well.

It is your desire that we walk in health and wholeness.

Lord, I thank you that you have provided health and wholeness for us.

And we're reaching out right now with the hands of faith to grab a hold of that promise.

We take possession of that promise of wholeness, of health today in Jesus name.

We don't care what it looked like in the past.

We don't care what symptoms might be in our body right now.

They do not override the word of God.

Right now we grab onto that word that came, that was made flesh and we put faith in Jesus and we say thank you Jesus.

We receive our healing.

Receive your healing right now in Jesus name.

Receive Put your hand on wherever the problem is.

Receive your healing right now in Jesus name.

Thank you.

Say Lord, I believe and I receive your healing power.

In my body from the top of my head to the soles of my feet, that healing power is flowing through me.

No sickness, no disease can stay in my body and live.

Get out sickness, get out Disease get out.

Germs get out bacteria get out.

Cancerous growths and tumors get out weakness get out spirit of infirmity Right now in Jesus name we speak.

We speak in authority in the name of Jesus.

To eyes, eyes you see, ears you hear.

Organs come back to life again in Jesus name.

Where there has been decrease, we speak increase.

Where there has been shrinkage, we speak growth.

Where there has been weakness, we command strength.

Right now in Jesus name.
