Hello mighty ones in Christ, how are you doing today? I am hanging out here today. We got a little bit of a different setup behind the scenes, so never mind me if I'm looking down and pushing buttons. We're getting ready to start to do some more interactive stuff on our live streams. I want to be able to introduce video clips and graphics and things like that. It'll help you guys retain more of what I'm saying, so it's not just, you know, just me talking. We tend to retain information better if it's not just given to us just verbally. So we got all kinds of stuff down here on the floor. You can't see. Yeah, you can't see it. Good, that part worked.
So hey everybody, Fielding, it's up there, brother. Yeah, Laurie, hey Laurie. We've got a few people in here today. So this one didn't have any kind of notice, really. I just kind of did last minute, as I do a lot of these actually. So we didn't have a lot of people know when we're gonna do this ahead of time. So I apologize if you're watching us in the future and you're wondering, "Hey, he didn't say he's gonna have a live stream." So that's what happened. My apologies.
Today I want to talk about that. This is a good one. It's, "Why does healing sometimes not work?" It's a good one. I was gonna do this exclusively for a Pillar One students, but the more I thought about it, this is for people really in our Pillar One, two, and three schools, and you know, anybody who happens along this channel. This is good stuff. And for those of you that don't know who I am, if you've stumbled upon this on YouTube, I occupy a strange place. It shouldn't be strange, but it is. I, like a lot of people, discovered healing was real and power was real, and I went after it because I wanted to bring the kingdom the right way. I wanted to bring my Father glory, get people saved, etc., etc. And but unlike a lot of people, I took notes on my journey, and it's become our Power Schools Pillar One, two, three, four, and five. So, you know, more than anyone I've met so far, and I wish it wasn't like this, but more than anyone I've met so far, I tend to have an engineer's perspective on power and supernatural in a way that not a lot of people do. So what you're gonna hear today, it's coming from that point of view. It's not just me throwing just Bible verses at you and getting on to you for not figuring it out, you know, that kind of stuff. You know, I know sometimes that's how we feel when people address this topic. They just say, "Well, just believe." All right, how? You know, he'll be like, "Well, just get closer to Jesus." Okay, how? Right? So I'm the "how" guy. That's been my obsession my entire life is, "How does everything work?" kind of things. So today will be no exception. Today will be that very thing.
Hello everybody. Got new people joining in. Good, good, good. So let's get started. We, like I said, I don't have a lot of lead time warning people this was coming, but we got a few viewers here already. So I'm just gonna get right to it, guys. Why does healing work sometimes? So today, this is not going to be an exhaustive teaching, but rather kind of an off-the-cuff, general, practical, focused, like from my notes type thing. Let's see here. If you're watching this video and given what my focus is around here, then I assume you've spent the appropriate time and study on the topic. Meaning, if you're watching this video and you don't have an inkling of understanding about how healing and supernatural and power works, this video is probably not gonna be for you. You know, I recommend, if you're new to healing, I recommend a guy named Andrew Wommack. You guys, really good with the basics, but a master teacher. Has online Bible commentary. He's written very solid in the basics. Go do that, and then come check us out later if you're new to this. All right. If you have been operating healing or trying for a while, and you are wondering this question, this is for you. You've got to have some kind of experience for today to make a lot of sense. If you don't have experience, this video is not for you.
So why does healing not work sometimes? Well, there's three points I'm gonna hit today. One is because we waver. It's to be honest, we'll hit that here in a minute. Explain. The second is because we quit too soon. Again, um, explain that in a minute. And then I'm going to deal with the hot topic that people, I hear this with more than anything. Why is it I can get everyone healed on the street, but getting people healed in my own home or my own family? That that one really seems to be the tough one. I'm gonna nail that one today. I haven't heard anyone actually nail this stuff in a way that at least was pleasing to me. So I'm gonna do it. No one else did it that I know. What I'm sure someone has, but I hadn't seen them. So I'm gonna do it.
So number one, why does healing not work? Because we waver. So we've been given access to power, right? That He gave us. And that's the thing that if you're new to the healing thing, this will be very offensive to some of you. But God, repeat after me, God is not in total control. Like the claws come out, guys. I don't know why it's so offensive. God is not in total control. He's totally in charge. And because He's totally in charge, He gave His ekklesia a great deal of control in the earth. Not that we do everything down here, but we, we were responsible for a lot more than a lot of Christians want to believe. You know, if you, but if you study the New Testament in the area of dominion, identity, things like that, then you understand when you got born again, the Spirit of God in your spirit became one to the exclusion of another. You understand that heaven is as, you know, encouraging you onward, and Jesus is praying for you. We have all these assets at our disposal. Why? So that we can get things done. So if the Father was gonna do it himself, He wouldn't have gone to such great extent, great lengths to plant this thing called the ekklesia on the earth and give it power, right? What would be the point? Tens on us doing something, right? Send sickness, premature death, disease, things like that. That's that's our responsibility, right? It's very clear. If you don't know this, again, I encourage you to start the basics. But at the end of the day, and I know people will commit this, be like, "Well, it's their sentence, someone's life's why they didn't get healed. It's generational curses." Don't don't talk to me about generational curses. I've studied that more than anyone I've met personally. And in the fact that there's so many people believing it the way they believe it, to me, it's it's terrifying, and it irritates me. And you're gonna test my fruit if you bring up generational curses to me because it's a load of bunk. If you're in Christ, you've got a new joy, you got a new lineage, a new bloodline, right? Now, I know, first of all, before I continue, there can be people with, look, you know, they inherited DNA that kind of makes more prone to be one way or another, okay? But that's not a curse. That's part of the fall. That's just not because God cursed us, but we're in a busted world. God didn't curse you. Didn't curse your family. Not even demons cursed your family. Now, with that said, there are cases where a person can be, you have some kind of family familiar spirit going on. That's actually not that uncommon. But if you're in Christ, that spirit no longer has dominion over you unless you believe it and you start to obey that spirit, that force, that influence, that, you know, influence in your life instead of the written word of God, right? And leadings about spirit. So unless you go backwards, then that spirit's not gonna have anything in you.
So, you know, if you're a Christian praying for another Christian, they should be healed 100% of the time without fail. There's naught or even a whole lot to discuss. Now, if it's a Christian praying for a lost person who maybe does have some kind of crazy stuff in their life, it makes no difference. Why? Because who is king of all? Who is not, not king of some, not who's king of most? Who is king of all? Who has been placed above all things, all principalities, all rulers, all dominions, all disease, all sickness? Jesus. That's right. The Jesus that's in you. So when believers praying for an unbeliever, even if there's all this crazy stuff going on, it makes no difference because we're not, we're not dealing with fireworks. Cause God gave us the nuclear option. You understand? Jesus isn't fireworks. He's not gonna, he's not tetryl or TNT or dynamite. Jesus is a nuclear weapon. And He's the big one. Whatever the big one's called today, that's what Jesus is. All right. So when you show up to a fight, to a war with that power working through you and in you and have access to all this amazing stuff and making a difference, what they have in their life, if you release the weapon, if you effectively push the button. Now, the to push the button, it's called unwavering faith.
Now let me show you something. Let's see here. James 1:5-7: "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it would be given to him. But he must ask in faith." Not pause. Some people are gonna say, "Oh, but this is talking about wisdom, brother. You gotta keep it in context." Okay, the context is wisdom, but the last verse says talks about receiving anything from God. So stick with me. Let's continue. Verse 6: "But he must ask in faith without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord." Anything. Anything.
Matthew 21:21-22: Jesus talking here. I think He knows a few things about this. "Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to this fig tree," He had just cursed and killed the fig tree with a command, "but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up, thrown into the sea,' it will happen. If, if you believe, you will receive whatever you asked in prayer." And I'm gonna come back to that phrase, "ask in prayer," that's another problem a lot of people have. But pause for a second. You think, so He's saying if you have faith, if you believe, it will be thrown into the sea? Is that harder or easier than a healing? I think most people put that in a category of, that's probably a bit a little bit harder than getting somebody healed or raising somebody from the dead. So if it works for the big things, it certainly works for the little things, and it should be even easier, right? And again, I'm coming back to the "ask in prayer" phrase in a minute.
Matthew 17:14-20: "When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus and knelt before him. 'Lord, have mercy on my son,' he said. 'He has seizures and he's suffering terribly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.'" So they should be listening to this, right? Today's message: Why healing doesn't work sometimes. Well, they did. They, they got it from Jesus. So, but your disciples, the Apostles, okay, they couldn't get it done. So Jesus replies, "Oh, you know, like we talked about last, last week, here's, here's nice Jesus, another example of nice, sweet little Jesus that loves us and never hurts our feelings or ever offends us." "Oh, unbelieving and perverse generation!" Jesus replied, "How long must I put up with you?" Other translations, "remain with you," or, "I'm sorry, in this one actually has both." "How long must I remain with you? How long do I have to tutor you? How long do I have to sit here and hold your hand? How long must I put up with you?" Hmm. Yeah, I'm just saying, don't get mad at me. I'm just reading it. "Bring the boy to me." Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy. He got it done, and the boy was healed from that moment. Afterward, the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, "Why couldn't we get it done?" Well, why didn't a healing work for us this time? Hey, by the way, healing, deliverance, raising the dead, it all works exactly the same. All right? I've done all of them. As a probably a lot of us, a lot of people watching this, or some of you have done all of those. Cast out demons, healing the sick, raising the dead. It's all by unwavering faith. Been doing this for 20 years. Promise you, it works. It's the same thing. But they said, "Why couldn't we drive it out?" Be cut. And here's the answer: "Because you have so little faith," Jesus answered. "For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed," there's a point to Him saying that, get to that maybe in a minute too, "then you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." So nothing will, nothing. Again, there's that word, "nothing." Previously, He said, "anything." Tell me the mountain. So anything's possible. Nothing is impossible. If what? Well, in both places, we see the condition as we did in James. If you believe and do not doubt.
Now, I'm gonna talk about that here in a minute, how to get better at that. But for now, that's where we are. Now, let me go back before I gave me, well, actually, let me see here. Yeah, real quick, before I go back to the "asking prayer" thing. In Mark 9, there's another version of this story, and in this one, it's basically the same thing, a little more detail. And in the end of it, in verse 28, it says, "After Jesus had gone into the house, his disciples asked him privately, 'Why couldn't we get it done? Why couldn't we drive it out?'" And Jesus, and in this version, said, "This kind cannot come out except by prayer." And then in certain translations of the Bible, it ends there. And others add "and fasting." And yet in other translations, it adds "and fasting" and has a note. The note is, "It was added." Yeah, I know. Something I'm gonna freak out. But guys, study, study. Don't just study the Bible. Study where it came from, and all these translations, and you're gonna find that not all these translations are trustworthy. In fact, some of them are satanic. I won't let an IV Bible in my house. It makes me mad. It's, it's, it's an artistic work of perversion in my opinion, my correct opinion, my humble but accurate opinion. I don't want it. And there's a few more. But it was added.
Now, you say, "Well, okay, well, maybe it was. But I've heard fasting. Fasting to do this." Fast. Let me tell you something. You know, I've looked in power over the years at levels that not many people have in our day. Just saying. You know what? I fasted twice in my life. So so much for fasting being a gateway of power. In fact, when people have faith and fasting, it actually shortcut, short-circuits the mechanism internally that would lead them into greater faith. Do not have faith and fasting. If you fast, it's to put down the flesh. It's to help you. It's to help the Holy Spirit gain dominion in your personal life and the fruit of the Spirit and how you work things like that. Now, I, as a lifestyle, I, I live a fasting lifestyle. I actually eat very little. I don't get it. Fasting today's for another day. But I've fasted full-blown, no food, no water for multiple days, fast twice in my life. That's it. And it went, even that many days, both of them were under two or three days or under. But as a lifestyle, I'm very aware that if I, if I feed my flesh everything it wants, it's not long before it's become so strong in my life that all of a sudden, living by the Spirit, it gets a little challenging, right? So I, I pay, I actually pay a great deal attention to how I eat. And I don't mean the health consequence. What's big? Take care of your temple, eat well too. But savory foods, I'm not a big fan of savory foods. Savory foods have a way of pulling me into the flesh in a way that I can't feel and sense that power that goes with me everywhere these days, and I don't like that. So understand. Now, I'm all over the place. But when we go back on the rails here, back here, I had mentioned. So again, recap before I talk about this "ask in prayer." We've seen the Bible several places here, and there's a bunch of others where the condition for anything and or nothing being impossible is unwavering faith. There's not, there's nothing to debate. The, because it's to debate it, it's to literally wage war against the scriptures. And if you're gonna wage war against the scriptures, I don't know why you're watching this video. Just probably click somewhere and probably seen your recommended videos, an atheist video somewhere. That was a low blow. I'm sorry. But seriously, we got to get back to the reasons so many struggle. So many people struggle with power is because they keep stepping out and I don't have the results they want. So they start making things up, and it says, "By their traditions, they make the Word of God null and void." It's not gonna work. God's truth won't work in our life if we're introducing man-made traditions, doctrines of devils, as it's called in the Bible, and or our life as part of our belief system. Even if it's, even if it seems like it's not working at first, or for a long time, even go about what's in a word. Don't be changing it. You guys shipwreck yourselves. But I'm gonna, we're gonna, I'm, I'm gonna tell you how to get better. Now, but I want it, before I move on, I want to talk about this. In Matthew 21:22, it said, "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask in prayer." That's another one here, kind of a sub-point here today. Ask and put a lot of confusion. If you've taken our Power Schools, you know about this. You can just let your eyes glaze over for about two minutes and come back to me. But if you haven't taken a school, you seriously need to hear this.
So you see in the Bible multiple places where it talks about asking in prayer, right? You see it all over the place. And yet, when you see Jesus and the Apostles ministering power, I tell my knowledge, I don't remember anywhere they actually asked God anything. They maybe once or twice, but I don't never seen it anywhere they commanded it. So are they, so why does it tell us to ask God for something and not waver? But yet they just command it to be done? Let me explain real quick. If you were a Hebrew, right, in that culture, you understood the with the words they were using, the way the culture thought, the way the people thought. It's different today. Today we're so nitpicky. Let's ask. Oh, but it's commanded. That I came from the Greek, the whole Western view where we want to like dissect everything. The ancients, they were holistic. Were they had holistic worldviews? They saw things and as whole, topics of wholes. They didn't see individual little pieces and break it all up. And, you know, the Greeks and Westerners can do great with an outline, but they can't live it. The ancients could live it, but couldn't you go to the outline? It's because the training, the thought. So anyway, "ask in prayer" versus "command." It's the same thing. To ask something in prayer and to command it, it is the same thing.
Now, I don't want to take too long here, but let's say, for example, me and you were playing football, which, you know, me and you aren't gonna ever play football because those, you know me, know I don't, I don't like it. Professional sports in particular. I think it's a devil and a thief of time of a bunch of holy, powerful people they don't think we should be wasting our time. We have a lot to do. But let's say an alternate universe where I'd lost my mind, we're playing football. I love you. Calm down. It's okay. But let's stay with throwing football and, and, and I throw you the ball, and you throw it to me. We go back and forth, back and forth. Now, let's say I thought to you, and I want you to throw it to me, but maybe you're talking to somebody or distracted or something. Now I have options as to how I could communicate to you. Send me something to tell you I wanted to receive something from you. Number one, I could say, "Hey, please pass me the ball," or "Would you pass me the ball?" And that's a question I'm asking in prayer. And you throw me the ball. Now, throw it back. You get distracted again, or you're looking at something else or whatever. And I'd say, "All right, throw me the ball." "Throw me the ball" is a command. But it's the same thing as asking in a situation where I'm receiving something from someone I'm in a relationship with. You understand? The third thing I could do is just hold my hands up. I could just go, and you'd see it. It's a signal. And go, and you throw it. Spiritual ministry in a spiritual dimension of life, which if you're moving in supernatural, you were working with the Holy Spirit and angels, it's a spirit reality in the spirit world. It's thought transfers. How things happen. There's energy transfer. I mean, it's all this quantum stuff. We go into for another day. But in that realm, the heart posture is what speaks. It's not what you say with your mouth. That's why people ask me, "Well, how should I pray?" The moment I hear someone say that, I know they're probably not gonna make anything happen from their prayer because they don't understand. It's not what you say, it's who says it. It's not how you word it or what you say or what words you choose or what order, or do I ask, do I command? It's the posture and the person that's issuing the intent for something to happen. So you can, I could grab this cup and I could, and passing it to someone who needed a healing, I could think to myself, "I'm putting healing in this cup," and there it goes. Right there, just by my antennae, feel it. There it is. And I hand you that cup, and you drink it, and boom, you're healed. Well, what happened? That, my friend, would be an example of a posture, my heart, faith, my heart attitude of believing, received it from God. I didn't look at it and go, "Oh, oh, hope I can for healing in here. Oh, God, I'm thirsty, hungry." Now, I'm mocking. I'm sorry, but we gotta go. So we gotta grow up, man. We're the strongest force the earth has ever seen, and we're not walking in it, man. I'm not okay with it. All right. So, but my point is, I wouldn't ask. I wouldn't even have to speak to it or command. I would just believe it. I believe it. There's healing right there. I'd have to say it. I just believed it and hand it to you. And that just, that action of my intent putting healing on a cup, in the cup, and then handing it to you, knowing that you're gonna get healing, you touch it, that's opening a portal from heaven, and faith is flowing right there. Mmm. And power is moving. And it works. Or I could say, "But Papa, we want to heal this person." So I use the cup, or just grab your hands. And so I grab your hands and say, "Daddy, thank You, Papa. Right now, Lord, would You heal this person?" But, but as I'd say it, it's second, knowing it's, I'm not saying, "Daddy, would You heal the person?" What I'm saying is, with my mouth, "Daddy, heal this person." But with my insides, I'm simultaneously saying, "Dad, thank You. You just healed him. He just did it." See that? Think I'm thankful because He just did it before He did it. You understand? It's why Jesus said, "Anything you believe, you have received" (past tense). "You will receive" (future tense). That's why He talks like that because He understood the heart posture, these internal realities. You understand? So if I say, "Daddy, heal this person," and in my heart, the same time, I'll be saying, "Thank You, they're done." I'm not asking Him, "Oh God, please." I'm going, "Hey, hey, please don't throw me the ball. Please." I'm not putting my hands down going, "Please throw me the ball." If you threw it, you'd hit me in the face. You wouldn't throw it. But if I'm posturing and ready inside, in my heart, to receive, faith, and unwavering, I know, right? And I go, "Hey, throw it here. Throw it here." Command. Or I say, "Please throw here," or "Would you throw it here?" See my expectation? I'm posturing. I'm not just asking them if they would throw it. I'm postured and ready to receive. That is faith. You see? So those three things, ask in prayer, that's a big deal for a lot of people. Up, you might even figure this out yet because people have been teaching it. I don't know why. But anyway, I say more and more I keep going, but that's the point.
So why is healing not work sometimes? Number one, because we waver. And my sub-point under that was this whole "asking prayer" thing, posture, this whole thing. All right. And faith posture of faith. Now, our second point today is, we believe, but we stop too soon. Now, years ago, when I was learning this stuff, one day the Lord showed me this illustration. Changed my life at the time. The profound, profound revelation at the time. But He said, what He showed me was a basically a table. I'll just tell you. Imagine there's a table, and on the table is a cup, and a cup is just sitting there in the middle of the table. Now, the cup, the table represents a person's body or our situation, or negative situation, or our existing situation. The cup represents the bad part of the situation, or the sickness, or the disease, or death, or demon, or whatever. And the moment you push that cup off the table is the moment the negative leaves the situation. Healing, deliverance, raising the dead, situational interference, intercession, etc. But let's say it was a little table like this one right here, a little bitty table. And let's say in this, in this illustration, all we could use is our finger to poke. I could give a poke. One poke. Boom. And that cup would go flying off that table. First trial. Let's say though, the table was 20 feet wide, and all I got is a finger. Well, to get it off with one blow, number one, I'd have to either punch it, and it's to poke a finger, or I'd have to poke it and poke it and keep poking and poking. It would slide a few feet, few feet, few feet, valiant, and fall off the table. If you're operating in a great deal of power, and I'm explaining here in a little bit why some people are moving in a lot of power, some are moving in a little bit or less, I should say, and that's an offensive thing to religious people. I don't know why. It's very clear in the Bible. But let's say you had a little power operating in you. Paul literally talks about power operating in you. Be here a little bit. Well, you just keep saying out, "In Jesus name, sickness go out. Be healed. Cancer out. Leave. Leave. Please go." Now, every time I'm doing that, I'm knowing, understand, I know it just worked. I'm not saying, "Go, go, go. Leave." Kids, was hoping that it was enough speech eventually to work. That's not where I'm at inside. I understand even if I'm not stirred up, even if I'm backslidden, even if whatever is going on in my life, I understand if I poke it, the cup moved. Then they only move six inches or an inch. It moved. I promise you, it did. What helped me get this was when I studied the Japanese scientist Emoto, I think his name. He's the guy. Get on YouTube, look it up. He discovered years ago that he could bless water and a cup, and in flash freeze it, curse a different cup of water, flash freeze it, and take those water crystals under a microscope, and literally the water that he cursed, those crystals were chaotic and crazy looking, and the water he blessed were the most beautiful crystal structures you ever seen. And he did the tests thousands of times, and it was a hundred percent. And that was a man, and one even in Christ. So I understand if I'm in Christ and I speak to something, I don't have to, you know, stir it up and ugly, even and get it, you know, bust a vein in my head or something. I understand because Christ is in me, it's going to work. And even that relaxing posture, without straining and striving, it actually allows stuff to flow even more, right? So I would look at a situation and go, "In Jesus name, cancer go out." And sometimes I'm loud and fervent, sometimes I'm whispering, sometimes I say nothing. Why? Because I'm aware of where I'm at in a moment. That's Pillar Two school, right? A couple of Pillar One. And I just know where I'm at, what I need to do for things to start to move. So that's a cancer, go wherever it is, leave, go, go out. And understand that if a lost man, if his voice could affect water molecules, because I'm in Christ, my voice through Him, and because of Him, it is affecting their body in the positive in some way. Yes, I just keep pushing and knowing and knowing it's good. So even when I'm loud and aggressive, I'm not trying to push. I'm operating from a place where I realize, dude, we, man, we so got this. Like Jesus, you came, you saw, and you kicked its butt. This ain't nothing else. See, it's that not, oh, because I'm trying to believe. You see the difference? It's a big difference. One releases power, one gives you a headache and freaks the people out. But so these are variables. But if I wasn't in a great place to believe, I just keep pushing and pushing, and finally the cup would come off. Other times, I'll walk up to a situation, and I've been in the word all day, every day. I've been in quiet times four or five hours a day. Dude, I come in charged like the sun. And if my presence don't get them healed, in a touch, will. If I have to say a word, it's easy. Go cancer out. Boom. There it goes. See that? Again, I'm getting ahead of myself because I'm gonna talk about edifying yourself and moving in greater power versus little. That was our last point, but it's a spoiler. Spoiler alert. There. Anyway, and at Mark 8:23-25, we read this. So, so Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then He spit on the man's eye. I still laugh at that. I know people make that so religious. Oh, it's the Lord Jesus. He put holy saliva, spittle on the man's. Listen, bro. He just looked like a man to these people. They didn't know He's anything other than a man. So imagine a dude walking up and spitting in someone's eye. I'm making a point because I've healed people like this. I got my, this is fun story. A pair. That's a tangent. We'd get back to my point. But one time, my wife had strep throat, and I'd prayed and prayed. I just couldn't get it done. All of a sudden, I felt somewhere between a Rhema and an idea. Like I just felt it and saw it. Like she needs to spit in my mouth. Now, she was sick. She had strep throat. Or no, I had to spit in her mouth. That's what it was. We all these weird things all the years ago, mixed up. So I told her, how to spit in her mouth. Later, Tom, I actually, I let her, one of the kids spit on my hand, and I licked it, and God, they got healed instantly too. So I get the stories mixed up. But I spit in her mouth. I said, I said, "If I spit in your mouth, you'll be healed." She's like, "Really?" I was like, "Yeah, baby." She's like, "I was the airway." And it touched her tongue and buzzed down the back of her throat. She's instantly healed. Now, that that's Pillar Three, by the way. Don't, don't confuse Pillar One. Laughs. Pillar Three life. Your fuss traits. You if you get a special eating, awesome. If you don't, don't worry about it. But back to our point, Mark 8. So Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him off and let him out of the village, probably because He was gonna spit in his eye and didn't want people to see it. Then Jesus spit on the man's eyes and placed His hands on him. "Can you see anything?" He asked. Now, that'll blow a lot of people's theology about healing away right there. What do you mean, you ask? You believe it's done and know it? Calm down. The man looked up and said, "I can see people, but they look like trees walking around." Once again, Jesus placed His hands on the man's eyes, and when the man opened them, his sight was restored, and he could see everything clearly. Now, what happened there? Well, Jesus understood pushing the cup on the table thing, right? So here's the dude. I'm a little table, especially Jesus. Be a little table for Him, right? This is cup, and He, "Bomi, praise one. How are you doing, buddy?" You know, it's better. Let's do it again. Boom, two. And got with just two tries, got it done. A lot of people, myself included, sometimes I've had to hit things like that dozens of times. But every time I'm knowing, every time I'm knowing it's moving that cup, and I'm thinking, if a dude, if a lawsuit can affect a dead gum crystal structure of a water, I know my words doing something. Oh, Jesus, there it is. Amen. But what the days when I'm get ahead of myself, everybody will come to a minute. So anyway, let's go on to our third point, and then the fourth point would be how we get better.
The third point today is, why family and those we hold in high regard can be hard to get healed. Now, guys, this one's gonna be, this one's gonna be challenging to some of you. I'm just warning you now. First of all, I want you to understand that fear is the opposite of faith. You understand? In fact, fear is faith. It's just bizarre. Oh, faith. It's negative, black hole, upside down, mirror image faith. It's the negative version. Is you're believing something to happen. And the little brother of fear is this thing that we overlook a lot of times. It's anxiety. Anxiety. Anxiety. It's a low-grade fear. To the day Smith Wigglesworth's daughter died. She was deaf. Now, let that sink in. We're know this guy's known as the great healing guy, the miracle dude. Never got his deaf daughter's ears open. And even all the religious people coming to make up all these things. Well, it's cuz it was a demon, and he was good at healing, not delivering. Sir, maybe she had a generational curse that maybe her dad didn't have. But uh, now, the fact of the matter is, he couldn't believe for it would have happened. So why could Wigglesworth, the great healer, miracle worker, not believe for his own little girl? I mean, didn't he love her? Well, that's kind of the problem. He loved her a little too much. See, there's loving someone, and then there's making someone an idol. And I listen to me again. I told you it's gonna stretch you. There, the way we've been taught to love our closest family members and friends, it's a worldly idea of love. And again, calm down, just let me finish. When you let someone in your heart, someone else is in your heart other than the Lord. Now, I'm not saying you don't love your family, but love is not a feeling. Love is what you do. You love the Lord, right? You serve man, including your own family. And that's where things get twisted up. Wires get twisted up. Years ago, when I first started on this whole thing, me and my buddies would go down to downtown Dallas. That's where I lived back then. And we had a homeless population there of like 6,000 people. And before Todd White was even saved, me and my buddies, he'd gotten an idea. If healing's real, let's take him to the street. We hadn't heard anyone else doing it and wondered why. Well, all these years later, it's a big movement, beautiful. But we're out on a limb, you know, we didn't know what we're doing. And but we went. We had enough sense to know, let's go practice on the homeless because we don't really care what they think. Now, I'm just being straight. Don't don't judge me. You know, most people are in that place. I'm not in that place now, but then I certainly was. And most of you watching this are. Everyone we pray are almost everyone we prayed for in the homeless district got healed or delivered. We go to Uptown, men of the fancy place where the Mercedes and the Rolls Royces and even some Lamborghinis and stuff, the rich people, fancy clothes, the highly educated, intelligent walking around like they're really something special, kind of people lived. No one ever got healed there. And see, the religious people come along because they got idols in their heart. The homeless people are desperate for God. Oh, a lot of them. A lot of the homeless people were atheists. They were desperate for God. Their heart was in the same place as the rich people. They just didn't have the, the flash and the pizzazz and the money to show it. They looked pitiful, right? But the rich people were just as pitiful on the inside. But because they had money and the world was good, you couldn't tell a pitiful. They were. So why would it work on one and not the other? We finally figured it out. Took us forever. We figured it out, and we proved it. This was it because it was consistent and it worked over and over and over. And I'm able to train people in it now, and it's really proven. We cared what them rich people thought about us. I was being honest. We're out there and thinking, here's this well-to-do educated somebody, and we're here looking like a bunch of crazies saying, "Can we pray for you? Jesus will heal you," or blah, blah, blah. And it's called fear of man. And it's the stench of hell. It's see, we treat this. See, people say, saying bad words, a lot of Christians believe using bad language or physical, even violence, they think that's worse than fear of man. Where do they get that from? Cuz actually, the opposite is probably more true. Fear of man is not fear of God. Fear means to respect. Fear God. We know fear God. It's what it says. The fear of God's the beginning of all wisdom and knowledge. We talk about the fear of man, it's a negative thing. What does fear mean? It means to revere, to respect, to honor, to lift up, to consider, right? To care what they think about us. So we fear God, or we fear man. When we're around the homeless people, there was, we weren't being tempted with fear of man down there in that part of Dallas because we didn't really care what they thought. It's the only thing left was a little bit of fear of God. We had a boy, a lot of them. Guy healed a lot of them. When it comes to family, it's like that. It's not fear of man, but it's the same heart posture. Fear of man. It's called anxiety. Whether your anxiety's coming from worrying about what people think about you, or your anxiety's coming because you love this person so much and oh, they just got to get healed. Oh, I love you, baby girl. Hold on. Try to be healed in Jesus name. It's the same thing. Rest, man. Peace. Peace. Knowing unwavering. This Jesus is can be hate. It releases it. First the stillness, first the settling in, first the rest. Boom. And then the punch. You understand that? That's the secret. And if you can't get in that still rest, knowing it's a still, quiet, deep, restful, leaning back, knowing, unwavering. This is deep, creepy, odd knowing, like you just know. Look through it. If that does not come first, whether you know what consciously or not in your early days, you're not gonna know you're doing this stuff. But if it's there, if that's there first, then your punch, it flows. And Pillar One, we call it the heart sphincter. It puckers up. You know, Pillar One Power School would go into the whole thing. You know, when you, when you're in doubt, when you're in fear and anxiety, right? Nervous, you care too much for your man, stress, whatever. It, it puckers, and all that power that's in you, it can't get out. And though you're full of power, it never gets out. So you wind up spiritually constipated. And that's colorful, but I'm being real with you, man. But if you relax that sphincter, rest, just relax it. Just like you do when you're going, doing your business, it's very similar, but it's in your beliefs instead of your body. All right. The rest. Know Jesus is good. Jesus, you got this. Lord, you, you paid a terrible price. Of course, you want it done. See, we call heart, heart in Pillar One, heart, heart. You getting yourself in that place like, no, dude, you convince yourself through these tools of thought that this is totally gonna happen. And what happens? Your sphincter and your heart, it kind of, it just relaxes. Mmm. Relax. And then when you push in a knowing or a command or whatever, all that power in you, now it gets out of you. And sometimes you got to do it several times. So you knock the cup off the big table, or a heavy cup off the big table, right? So Wigglesworth loved his little girl as any dad does. And you know, especially, especially with men, you know, you, you love your son, you die for your son, but you'd set yourself on fire for your daughter. You know what I mean? It's kind of like, like that. And, and Wigglesworth, big, strong protector, probably felt some kind of condemnation. I'm just accepting. Hearing this, I've been in this place a lot, a lot of us have. He probably at some point felt some kind of defeat or condemnation. He felt like because he loved her so much. So all he wanted to do just get her healed. Well, see, that's the problem. It's that thinking. See, that's unbelief, man. That's that's anxiety. That's fear. It's, I'll pucker it up. You ever wonder why Jesus called His mother "woman"? Garita. He addressed His mother as "woman." A woman. He had no attachments in the earth. Zero. None. Nada. Nothing. No attachments. And what a lot of times we don't understand is we've confused love and attachment. See, if you loved his kid the way you love your kid, then your kid would be your God, and your idol. You'd never stick a heart in her chest because God told you to. So you can't get your kid healed a lot of times. Probably either. Abraham could have got his kid healed easily. He only feared the Lord. He only respected the Lord. He only was connected to the Lord. Only, only the Father was what he gave himself fully to. Now, of course, he loved his son. The proof was, you know, he fed him, he protected him, he taught him, he looked out for him. But that's not worshiping. You know, and people said, "I don't worship my kids." Most of you do. Most of you worship your spouses. I'm just, look, you want to know all this stuff doesn't work. Listen, as you guys know around here, I'm quick to remind people because I'm bringing a crowd of people to a higher place. Almost every, if not every, to my memory, can't remember anything they did that failed intercession. I've tried on a large level, international, international. It has worked and wound up on the, it has worked and many times wound up on an international or national news. Why? Because I can disconnect. I'm not a Republican. I'm not a Democrat. I'm not even American. I'm not an
American, I don't flip about this country. As the country I care about, a system that's built to honor God and allows morality and the Word of God to permeate the culture, that kind of a country I'll give my life to defend it. It has nothing to do with the country; it has to do with the fact that in this place, God is legal. And I want to keep God legal. So when I'm praying, that's my only attachment. So my mop, my, I wouldn't want someone like me praying against me. I'm a nightmare, to be straight with you. I mean, we've seen a lot of people meet terrible ends because of my prayer. Why? 'Cause I don't, I don't have that anxiety. I don't fear them. I don't respect them. And I have a respect for them. I respect them as fellow human beings, or if they're in Christ, definitely respected my brother or my sister and loved them. But I don't fear them. I don't look up to them. I don't have that man-type honor or this, you know, the situations. I don't fear.
Oh, ho, we got to get a Republican in office. Oh, God, please let us. Shut up. I got, oh, you already lost. That's the same reason Wiglesworth couldn't get his daughter healed. It's the same thing. You have to let go. You have to disconnect. You cannot be attached fully to the kingdom and have even one attachment to the earth. Not even if it's your kid, or your wife, or your husband, or your brother or sister. Right now, those that are going with you into heaven, that are those that are in Christ, yeah, you love them. Which, by the way, I hear people at Tom say, uh, either they misquote it, they say Jesus said, "The world will know you by your love." He didn't say that. It said, "You will know the world will know you by your love for each other." Elsewhere, we literally, John at one place talks about those we pray for and those we don't. Jesus mentioned, and I believe to it, it's been a while since I read it, to be honest, but I remember specifically there. Look it up. There are people we pray for, people we don't. The ones we pray for, those that God, those that don't love God, you don't pray for them. Now, you pray for them to get saved and stuff, you know, maybe for life to get terrible or whatever it takes, or maybe have a beautiful encounter of God, whatever. But to pray for their life to be smooth and for them to be blessed, you don't even pray for them if they're lost. You mean, again, you put their loss, pray to get them saved, but that's it.
Now, think of people get mad at that. But if you're, if you're my eternal sibling, I am attached to you in the spirit. He has attached me to you. We are one organism, one body, though we have different minds. So there's an attachment in the spirit, right? But if I loved one of you so much, so, oh, you're so precious, and I've done this, believe me. Oh, I love you, brother, sister, whoever, and you got to get healed, and mmm, see, you got to get healed. I got to get it done. Oh, you need this, and I need this for you. See, that's bad. That's not what you want. You need a godly disconnection. I don't mean fully disconnected, but a godly disconnect where you see this, that you love the person, and then you see a situation, you go, and you don't, and nothing in you gets impressed by the negative situation. Nothing in you goes, "Oh, I hope this works. Oh, we need this to happen. Oh, God's gonna do it, right?" The gabbie that relaxed, "Oh, of course, we got this. Easy." And the people that you don't care about, it's easy to do that for them, right? So the trick is, is for family, is getting in that place where you, you love them with your life, you're willing to lay your life down, especially, I mean, if they're in Christ, in particular, you totally are. But don't let heart attachments, you know, how do I say this? I get it. People get mad. So I shouldn't be attached to my family, but they're lost. No, you actually, you shouldn't at all. You shouldn't. Now, you've got a legal and a fleshly and even a mental, in a way, connection, and you have spiritual obligation to them, you know, to get them saved or love them or whatever, of course. But the things, see, I'm gonna say some even worse than what I'm already saying. I miss what he's showing me to tell you. If a woman walked around, how God help me, how do I put this? And he gave me the image, I gotta figure how to word it. If a woman walked around life wearing no underwear and a short skirt, it was quick to give herself to connect herself to just any man she saw, we'd have a name for that. Well, it's a, and the Bible talks about the spiritual that Babylon, right? Babylonian. So what am I talking about? Your heart is your womb. Be very careful what you let into your heart. Be very careful what you let into your heart.
So if you walk through life and, and you know, you hear negative reports, if someone says, "I don't know if healing's real," or even your own thoughts come out, "Oh, healing's real. I don't even get this job done. I've seen a lot, but I don't even get that one." See, peace. If these thoughts come to you, you're letting them in. If I come to you and you receive them, if you even think about them, even just more than a second, you have considered them. And to consider a thought is like a man entering a woman, you understand what I'm saying? Don't consider something that's not from God. Don't consider it. That's against God's works. I don't consider it because what you're, what you're considering, you are entertaining. And we're told not to entertain other spirits. And where there are false ideas, there are spirits behind those ideas. And that honestly is why a lot of Christians don't have the power they need. You're a, you're a mental. I love you, but I'm just telling, there's a lot of people out there, not condemning you, Satan to change it and helping you out of it, but, and I've been there too, believe me, we all have. But we could, this mental thing's got to go. Be careful what you let in there because what gets in there and what you consider, what you entertain, becomes part of your thought process. And what, however you think in your head, determines what you can release from your heart. Let's say that again. Whatever is going on in your head, whatever you've given yourself to, whatever your paradigm is, whatever your point of view is, whatever your abiding in, and your in your thoughts, determines what you're gonna release from your heart. And if you want Christ to be released from within you, Christ has to be formed in your thinking to some degree. This is John 15. Abide in me, and my truth abides in you. What is it? I'm letting this word is truth abide in the womb of my spirit. Mama, this is my head right here. That's the womb of my spirit, man, because it comes in here, it grows seed and gives birth to things in my life over time. So I don't consider something even for a minute if it's not from God, right?
So I'm giving a lot of nuggets here today, and we're moving along here in Tom. I got to hurry up. We're gonna end this pretty quick. So how do you get better? How do you get better? Take the power schools. Honestly, I mean, there's, if, listen, if I had it my way, every Christian in the world would take Andrew Wommack's stuff for like maybe a year or two to get warmed up and understand the basics, and they'd take my school, or if there's another one out there that's teaching people actually how to do things, which I don't know any that are, that's what I would want to do. Because what is that? Our schools focused on practical application. You've got to read it, you've got to listen to it, you have to understand it, and then you have to live it. If you do, it does work. If you're also abiding in the written word, if you have a good foundation understanding, if you've got, we don't provide a lot of the doctrinal foundation, that's not what this school is for. Those of you that haven't taken it, we need, I can't do everything, right? I just do what I was sent to do. So I want people to have the foundations. So, you know, if your mind's been renewed or is in the process of renewal to the truths that, hey, I'm speaking it happens because of Christ. Yay, God, right? I know who I am. I know my identity. I got dominion in the earth. If you've got those things in your head, you got them. What I'm gonna tell you, those, those people go develop a productive, skilled, intimate time lifestyle with him. I mean, go produce an intimate, skilled lifestyle with him in the quiet place. Now, I don't just mean sit there and worship. We teach this extensively in pillar two. But mixed plain results can come from one of two ways. One, you are not equipped at all. You don't know anything. You're newly saved and you jump out in faith like a crazy man, and that will do it. You need no training, no maturity at all, and go to work, right? The other way is, is maintain that kind of a heart, have your mind renewed to the truth concerning your identity and how things work, right? And also, the third would be to develop this intimate life with the Holy Spirit. Because it's hard to believe in someone or to trust someone's gonna do something you don't really know him well. And I know that, you know, most, most of the children of God, they're, they're his babies, but they don't know their daddy yet. Most Christians on Elkanah don't even know how to hear his voice for crying out loud. I mean, how can you have a spirit living in you? And I hear it, mom's blown. Well, we've had a lot of help getting there, and I was best fit that first many years in my life in Christ there too. So again, I'll committed heart that's willing to jump out and do stupid things coupled with a mind renewed to the truth concerning identity, dominion, etcetera, really renewed, not just memorized, but you like you get it. And how does it happen? A lot of studying, a lot of thinking and meditating on the word. I mean, a lot, thousands of hours. So those two things coupled with an intimate lifestyle with the Holy Spirit, any human being in history who's had those three things, without exception, have gone on to moving great signs and wonders and healing in power, without exception. It's like saying that you could mix like egg, flour, water, and oil and, and not get bread. No, no. If you mix those things together, you're gonna get dough. If you let the testing and, you know, of life and the heat come and bake it, you're gonna get bread. So anybody who has those three things, they're gonna at least, they're gonna be dull. They're gonna have dough, right? If that, if they keep going and get persecuted and do well, they get baked by the fires of persecution and trouble and all that, then they wind up as bread, even better, right? We run here, we call that first pillar, second pillar, third pillar, fourth pillar. It's, man, that's just as easy. It's just the simplest way to say it.
So Antonis, see with Daddy, and again, most people, I'd be honest with you, if I had heard someone 15, 20 years ago tell me what I just said, I wouldn't have understood it. I thought, what do you mean, the whole intimacy, the Holy Spirit? I didn't know him. I mean, I was in Christ, but I was a babe. I didn't know him. I mean, they didn't know, you know, I don't know how to hear that. It wasn't aware when he was moving my life. The Holy Spirit was an idea and a doctrine to me, you know. In these days, he's literally my best friend. Cry, talking about it. I mean, he's literally my best friend. I would have nothing to him. He encourages me. He hugs me all the time. I'm so intimately acquainted. I can't imagine my life without him. And I mean, I mean, I'm not saying I know in my head he's with me. No, no, I feel him. He's a, he's around me all the time, showing me stuff, taking me places. I know him better than I know my wife, I do, right? So that's what I'm told. My this intimacy thing. So if I was spending time keeping my mind focused on what we call pillar one around here, and even more time, Holy Spirit, my results would be really good right now too. But I'm working hundred-hour weeks and basically doing none of this, right? So my results, they kind of aren't real good right now, right? So be encouraged. It's John 15. You can't do anything without me. He said, I don't have power, you don't either. It's him, it's his truth, his message, his understanding, his, his, his paradigm, his word abides in our head, abides here, like totally takes us over. It because we, we deleted our old operating system and we got our new operating system, and it governs the way we think and see. That's what it means for His Word to abide in you, okay? If it abides in you, all right, and he said, "In me, you abide in me," that's the intimacy with Holy Spirit thing I talked about, then you'll ask whatever you will, or speak, or posture, right, and it'll be done. It's that simple. It's that simple. But you can't doubt, you can't have anxiety, you can't have fear, you can't be, have carnal connections. You gotta be free and open and, mmm, see what I'm saying? And that's the big picture right there.
So guys, I don't know if you realize it, but that's one of the most profound things most you've, you've ever heard. I know that because I looked high and low for someone who's teaching us along the way, and I never found anybody inside to figure it out. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears, and this stuff works. This is just how it works. There's just nothing else to say about it. So anyway, guys, I want to encourage you. If you've taken pillar one, our pillar one power school, and you've been doing it for a while, listen, and after you've heard today's message, go back and review pillar one through the lenses of what I've told you today. It'll allow you to get more out of the curriculum than you did the first time you, you took it, I promise you. So let's see if we got any questions here. I'm gonna do some questions real quick. Oh, she's gonna give this a few minutes. We're an hour into it. We're gonna do about 10 minutes tops, and then if we have any, if not, all right, we'll end today. So let's see here. I don't know. All right, so I'm gonna check Facebook group real quick, and if not, or if we're done, I'm gonna go do some very spiritual reverse fasting. I'm gonna have a snack, and I'm gonna worship, and I'm gonna thank my daddy for it, and I have great intimacy as I eat my snack. Amen. All right, I think I don't have any questions. Good guys. So I hope this helps everybody. Oh, here we go. There we go. Okay. Oh, that's good. So, so Fielding asks, good question, brother. What's the hindrance for getting yourself healed when you're, when you get others easily healed? You know, that's a good question. I'm so glad you asked that. I forgot about that one. So trying to get another question you real quick. So, you know, that was my thing for years. I mean, I'd seen just tons and tons of people healed, you know, and I went, when I was in third pillar life and wasn't running a ministry, my healing, my healing for a long time was a hundred percent, and yet I struggled to get myself healed. And nowadays, getting myself healed is just as easy as getting anyone else healed. Well, what, well, what changed? Gosh, gee, that's a long story. I think we haven't thought about it. I mean, I mean, think where I'm just going back in my mind where I go and I pray for myself, you know, I think in the end, what it was was a conditioning of how I saw things because especially, you feeling, you're like, I used to be for sure, you know, the missionary traveled in world, you know, a lot, kind of stuff, go, go, go, go, go. What is it? It's very external. It's it's it's it's geared to be from him through you to them. Like this is your orientation right there. And now you just need him to go like this, and it's a different, and it's a different orientation in a lot of ways. You know, you know, a lot of people pray for others, step out in faith, and I know he's gonna do it. You know, getting yourself healed, the way we tend to look at it is, well, now I have to receive it for myself, especially people that are very much about others or, you know, as a lifestyle. That's a lot of times something I got to grow in. I did. But what didn't one day? I think the big shift for me was just understanding that it was that disconnection thing at the end. I used to see myself as like, I am me, God's with me, and now I'm gonna reach the world with Jesus, right? That's how I used to look at it. Nowadays, I'll just look around. It sounds so hippie-ish, but I'm being for real. I now look at it as like, this is a big collective body of water on the earth called humanity. We're all in this together, man. You know, and I'm just one of many others. I'm just a dude. And, you know, that's a very, people, everyone will say amen to that, by the way. And I don't know anyone personally who's living it because it's a very unnatural thing to arrive at, to see yourself as not a person, but is just a drop of water in an ocean of humanity, to truly. And everyone will say that. I know everyone will be like, "Oh, I do. I do." Everybody says they don't. They don't. I mean, some people do, but it's rare. I'm growing in it now. I'm still learning it, and I'm trying. But it's completely disconnected where there is really, in a way, there's no me. It's Christ. It's him. It's him. And there's a dude down here, Jeff Ally Enzo. Yeah, here I am. Yeah, hi. You know, but here's my brother and sister over here, and there's over this person, and we're all in this together. And, and we're just, hey, Daddy, what's up? We're just all down here together, a bunch of people. And whoo. And what happens? Seen it that way, you start to see yourself as just one of others. It's just one of these other people. So then the same faith you used to get others healed works for you because now you are in other. You see my point? It's very subtle. Don't miss that, you know. And I started to see myself like that. It was like, I'm just down here too. And I would literally let, I'm not kidding, literally these days when I do pray for myself, a lot of times I put my hands on my body. I don't have to, but a lot of times it just helps me focus. And I'll get lost for a minute because I go into stillness, a certain level of stillness, and then all this other stuff, and I'll forget for a second that I'm praying for myself. Don't that sound weird? But I'm telling you truth. I pray, and it feels like I'm praying for someone else. You say, well, how's that possible? Dude, I don't know how I got here, but I'm here. I'm sitting up serious. I totally forget. And every time I can't remember in the last several years when it went like this, I mean, I'm not trying to receive for Dad. I'm just an agent of Jesus praying for someone's body that had no connection to this body. I've no connection to me. It's Jesus. I'm connected to. We, me and him, we're just habit in this body. See, it's like this. It's like you're, and I'm not saying you are, but it's like, kind of, it's almost like you're leaving yourself, your body, and like turn around praying for yourself. But again, that's not what I'm doing at all. Don't you know, you know, I'm not. Don't do that. It's just a mindset, right? So anyway, and but the thing that got me, the thing that got me, I think, over the hump once and for all to be really good at praying myself was it's actually covered in The Chronicles of an Unbelievable Life channel, the spleen healing. I forget what I called that video. Oh, ruptured organ healed via two powerful thoughts. That was a turning point for me too, where now getting myself healed is really easy. So watch that video if you haven't seen it. And all right, let's see here. What I got like mom's here. What other version? Oh, I can't believe I even took time to read that question. That's Zach, our intern. It wasn't even a serious question. All right, guys, I'm seeing here. I seem to think it's the person. Hold on, guys. It's a good question here. Let's see. Is there anything off with a guided word-by-word? Close your eyes and imagine you're in a land with beautiful flowers and butterflies. And then you're told to imagine what brought. I'm sorry to understand, buddy. Is there anything off or wrong? I guess. Okay, so just ask the question. I think what he's asking is, is there anything wrong with like a guided word-by-word? Like, close your eyes and imagine you're in a land with us. And that, I mean, I'm gonna be honest with you, everyone I've ever known that gets into that, they can't touch me and a lot of other people I know in the area of power. And if there is a person out there, contact me. I'd like to meet you, okay? I'm very curious as to where you're at in your head because I hadn't seen a person yet. Now, with that said, there's another side of that. If you, I don't like God. I'm not saying guided meditation. I mean, I'm against guided meditation, to be honest with you, because 12 years as a missionary to the New Age and the occult, I know a lot about it, and it's occultic. But if you mean like just slowing down and picturing for a minute, okay, let's think this out. I, right now, in the spirit, my spirit man, I'm in Jesus. I'm in Christ. He's on a throne, a throne over everything else. So right now, Jesus, because of you, man, I'm the highest place in all creation. Therefore, all this stuff down here on the ground, it has to obey me. See, if you're talking like that, go for it. There ain't nothing wrong with that. In fact, I actually really recommend it. My early days, I used to do that stuff a lot, a lot. And what are you doing? I'm meditating on the word. But I'm given, I mean, it's like reading a book without illustrations, without pictures, it don't stick as well. You read a book that's got pictures, illustrations, that stuff will stick with you for years. So I'll take in my mind a lot of times of scripture, things are very scriptural, and I just kind of picture in my, in my noggin, you know, I'm not going into the heavenlies. It's not a nice, just mental, man. I mean, but I'm picturing it, and it helps me grab ahold of it sometimes. Yeah, that's a good point, man. I have done that a lot. I have a story. I don't think I put on Chronicles yet where I knocked a lady out and blew her back, or her feet went up, her back went down, her shoes got knocked off in the bushes, and but anyway, she got healed. But that happened like that. Say, really helped me like get, get focus. Anyway, guys, so I did it. I think that's it. All right, guys. Okay, someone asked what version of the Bible I prefer. I prefer the Holy Spirit version, honestly. I've spent years in it. All years ago, I got way and all that. I mean, I was like hardcore, you know. I'm people say, well, the King James is the only authoritative. Well, it was. I mean, if you study who King James was, I'm just saying that's a long story. I really don't want to get into that. In fact, if I give an answer, someone's gonna beat me with it. I do not like the NIV. I prefer the NASB. I'll say that. I think that's kind of a decent one. Anyway, God's blessings on you. I think that's about it. I hope this encouraged you. I think, yeah, that's it. I don't take any more of your time. Yep. All right, guys, well, blessings on you. It's been good hanging out with you, and I will talk to you guys soon.
