Secret Keys of Divine Healing | 2025 Curry Blake Sermon

Good morning. Good morning. Well, want to welcome everyone. Let me get this opened. Here we go. Welcome to Dominion Life Training Center. We are a New Testament assembly of believers that want to walk in everything that God has provided and be and become be walk in do everything that God has called us to do and be everything that God has called us to be. Amen.

So this morning, as I said, we are a training center. So the idea is to train. A lot of people want teaching, but they don't want to train. So there's a difference in it. So this morning, we're going to start showing some of that difference. But first off, we're going to give you uh what we call the secret keys to divine healing. And we're going to go through this quickly. So if you have we have our handouts. We're going to start handing those out right now to you. And now these were practiced by John Lake back in from the early 1900s all the way up until his death in 1965 or 1935, sorry. And whenever he passed, uh, a lot of stuff got neglected, forgotten, lost, you might say. And then during the 1980s when I was studying healing initially, I started rediscovering these things and started putting them down. Now, he never had a list like this, but in going through all of his teachings and how he did and then in his manual, uh, we actually put together this list. Now, so we're going to go through these today. And if this is to help you become effective in either both receiving healing uh for yourself, but also ministering healing to other people, because we want you to be effective. It's not enough to just know things. You have to be effective in actually ministering those things.

Now, another thing to remember is this. God has called it, well, let me put this way. Jesus never called or ordained somebody to preach that he didn't at the same time say to heal the sick. Anybody he ever told to preach the gospel, he told them to heal the sick. That still goes for today. And we are all called to preach the gospel. Right now, how we preach it is different ways. Some is behind a pulpit, some is on street corners, some is out in restaurants. And wherever you go, you share the gospel. You share the good news of the kingdom. And wherever you share the good news, you are to also share the power of God to set the captive free. Amen.

So, let's look at these. Number one, these are the what we call the secret keys of divine healing. I don't know how secret they are anymore. I've been teaching them for about the last 30 years. But so we'll just stick with keys at this point. All right. Now, number one, destroy the sacred cows concerning sickness and power. Now, what that means literally is uh Jesus said that by your traditions you make the word of God of none effect. What we call what Jesus called traditions of men, we generally call sacred cows. What that means is that there are certain teachings, doctrines, ideas, things like that that are propagated through the church and that they usually point the finger at God for somebody not getting healed or they point the finger at the sick person for not getting healed because they don't have enough faith or there's sin in their life or something. Jesus never did that. And so all of these uh sacred cows and again we call them sacred cows because people will let them live uh while people are dying. And so the idea is that we want to kill the sacred cows. And if anybody knows how to kill cows, it's Texans. Amen. So we're gonna have some barbecue today. Amen. Now, so first off, we're going to destroy. And now I actually have a list that I have put together over the years of sacred cows. And right now there is about 52 to 53 of them. I think there are. Uh I'm actually going to be doing a complete series on that series of teachings or series of sacred cows and exposing them. We'll have that out before too long. But uh so the first step is to destroy all the sacred cows concerning sickness, disease, and power. Now, if you've gone through the DHT, we have done that in the DHT, the divine healing technician training. That's what we do. We spend three days killing all the sacred cows. And when we get done, the only thing left is the word of God and it works. Amen. So that's the first step. So if you say, "Well, I I don't know if I have some sacred cows," then go listen to the DHT and you'll find out you probably do. All right?

So number two, recognize sickness and disease as an enemy. Now, that means more than just say, "I don't like it." Right? There's a difference between I don't like and an enemy. An enemy literally is to be sought out and destroyed. You got that? So the idea is that sickness and disease has to be seen as an enemy. Not and the reason I say that is because a lot of people look at sickness and disease whenever if they get sick or if they get diagnosed with a disease, then they will say, "Well, God's trying to teach me something. God's trying to do this," or maybe I opened the door and let the devil in. And maybe I did this thing or that that other thing. And we have to realize that sickness and disease is not something God uses. Okay? He does not use sickness or disease to teach you. The Holy Spirit is your teacher. Don't call sickness or disease the Holy Spirit. Amen. And don't call the Holy Spirit a sickness or disease. That is real close to what the Pharisees did whenever they attributed the works of God to Satan. That's the same thing that happens when people attribute sickness and disease to be a work of God. So don't do that. All right? Get rid of that. Recognize sickness and disease as an enemy. That means that you don't give it a foothold. You don't give it a second. It's an enemy. You go after it. As soon as you notice anything in your own body or something in somebody else's, you attack it. Now, you're not attacking the person. You're attacking the sickness or disease. Amen. You can be really nice toward a person and really mean toward sickness and disease. Amen. So, you have to recognize it as an enemy and even we would even go further than that. That wherever you see it, it is to be destroyed. Right. Right. It is to be attacked and destroyed. Now, like I said, you can do it nicely. You can say it nicely to the person, but you're and we're going to look at this another key here in a minute is that you have to become aggressive toward these things. Well, I would like to get there to go off on that, but number three is you have to get fed up. That's right. You have to get fed up with sickness and disease in your body and you have to say enough's enough and then you have to put your foot down and decide no more. That's right. Right. So, you have to get fed up. Most people don't get fed up. You say, "How do you how do you get fed up?" You have to decide it's an enemy. That's right. And that you're done with it. And you see that it has nothing to do with you, between you and God, and that its purpose is to try to steal your attention away from God and from his goodness. Amen. So, get fed up. Now, whatever you got to do to do that, do it. Amen. And we'll go into some of these things later on.

Number four, treat all sickness and disease or we in your paper it just says treat all sickness, but you could put disease in there also. Treat all sickness disease the same. In other words, you have to treat it all the same. If it's an enemy, you don't have big enemies and little enemies. You have an enemy. Treat it all the same. Right? Now, what that means is this. Some people say, "Well, that's not that big a deal." Well, it's only not a big deal if it's not a big deal because you have an immune system and you're you can overcome it sometimes just by your natural immune system. But if you don't have an immune system or if your immune system is somehow compromised, then anything has the opportunity to kill you. Do you understand that? And so you have to decide that you're not going to give any sickness or disease any opportunity. You're going to treat it all the same. Whether it's a big, you know, whether somebody says, "Oh, you've got four stage cancer," or somebody says, "Well, you know, you have a a cold." Well, you treat it all the same. Right now, there's a lot more details in this uh that we want to get to. Probably won't get to them today necessarily, but you have to realize that if you're going to effectively defeat sickness and disease in your life or in the lives of others, you're going to have to get serious about things. It can't just be an add-on. It can't just be, "Oh, by the way, yeah, healing is provided for us, and I'm going to try to get it, or I'm going to try to find somebody to give it to me." All right? There should be, as Christians, we are told by Jesus to take care of our brothers and sisters, that we are to help them. And so, we do that. At the same time, if you're a brother or sister, you're supposed to take be taking care of brothers and sisters. And you should be learn how to effectively minister and not just always rely on somebody else to do it for you. Don't shout me down now just because I'm preaching pretty strong here. Amen. You need to realize this. This is for you. I'm not talking to anybody that's not here necessarily. If they're watching by internet, talking to you too by internet. If you're watching later on DVD, CD, whoever, if you hear this, I am talking to you. All right? It's that simple. If you're in this room, I am talking to you. You are a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Right? Whether you choose to accept it or not, you will be judged as the same. Something to think about.

Number five, treat all sickness like a person. Now, what that means is, see, automatically Christians say, "Well, we're supposed to be nice to people." That's not what I'm talking about. Okay? I could have put treat it all like a personality, but again, that wouldn't say the fullness of it either. But you have to realize you have to treat it like it is an actual being. Yes. Right now, this is something that not only John Lake did, but even Wigglesworth did the same thing. And so, it is to treat it like it's an entity. You have to realize Jesus spoke to a fig tree and it heard him and obeyed him. He spoke to water. He spoke to wind. It heard him and obeyed him. Amen. Right? You can speak to sickness or disease and it will hear you and obey you. If you decide if you get fed up and you decide it's got to obey you. Now, if you're questioning in your own mind, then no, it's not going to listen to you. But you have to decide it's going to listen to you right now. So, you treat it all like a person. You speak to it. You talk to it. You tell it what to do and it will obey you. Why? Because you are a representative of Jesus Christ. And he has all authority and all power. And that all authority and all power is in his name and you have his name. So it's in you. Amen.

Number six, command. Don't beg. You don't speak to a sickness and beg it to go. You now understand this. You a lot of people say, "Well, what about talking to God?" Well, even God said at one point, he said, "Concerning the works of my hands, cons command you me." So, he even said, "Tell me what you want, but don't come in begging." We come in boldly. Amen. You go to God boldly. You don't go in begging. You're not crawling in. You go in boldly and say, "Father, you said whatever I ask for, you'll give me, and I thank you for it." Amen. Now, when it comes to sickness and disease, we don't have any example of Jesus ever praying to God for a person's healing. Do you get that? And if he didn't, you don't. Do you get that? Why? Because as he is, so are we. Amen. We are to do the same works and greater. But we are to do the same works. And I would even say the same way he did it. The closer you get back to the way he did things, the greater success you will have. Right? Now, when you command you, you can command the person's body. You can command your own body. You can command the sickness or disease whether it's in you or whether it's in them. Amen. Now, it's not you're not commanding God per se, right? You're People say, "Well, you're overriding his sovereign will or his sovereignty." No, we're enforcing his sovereignty because he was the one that said to do this. Amen. Amen. We're not taking anything away from God. We are working with God. Right? Now, matter of fact, when we talk about taking away God's sovereignty by ministering to the sick, that's one of those sacred cows you have to kill. Right? Just to give you an example. So, number six, command. Don't beg. Speak to the thing and tell it what you want it to do. Tell it to go. Tell you can you can speak to the sickness and say go. You can tell it to leave them in the name of Jesus. You can tell it to you can speak to their body and say body be healed. Come on. Right. So you're giving a command to the body to the sickness. If it's demonic, which all sickness is demonic, doesn't mean every sickness is a demon necessarily, but it comes from the the quote unquote life of Satan. So it's all under his banner, you might say. So it all sickness is demonic in that sense. Even some things that you may have self-inflicted because of various things, it still has to obey. When you recognize it, then you can tell it to obey and it will obey you. Amen. Now, if you keep doing the thing that allowed it there the first place, guess what? It's going to come right back. So that's why Jesus said, "Go and sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you." Right? So whenever you command that thing to go, you figure out, "Okay, is this just an attack? Is it something that I did that allowed it in there?" And you can look at yourself and say, "Yeah, it was this or it was that thing?" Some things you have to realize. You're a spirit that has a that has a soul and you live in a body. Your spirit lives in your body. So healing is spiritual and physical. Does that make sense? We know the physical side because we want the body to be healed. But I'm saying there is a natural side sometimes that will cause the body to get sick, right? Germs and things like that that are out there that viruses and stuff that you come into contact with that if you don't have your shield of faith up, it will attach itself to you. But the first thing to do is to decide it cannot attach itself to me. Amen. That's the first thing you say. It's just as simple as deciding. Yeah, but it's really deciding, right? It's making that decision saying, "No, this will never be again. This thing does not have a right to slow me down or to hold me back when I should be out doing the will of God." Amen.

Number seven, speak to the problem, not to others about the problem. Too many people will have a situation going on in their body and they would rather talk about the problem to other people than talk to the problem itself about God. So you need to talk to the problem just like Jesus spoke to the fig tree. He spoke to the water. He spoke to the storm we would say. So you have to decide what are you going to speak to, right? Oh, I'm going to speak to God about it. He didn't say speak to him about it. He said speak to the mountain. That's right. Amen. So our job is to speak to the mountain to the problem. We are God's representatives. We represent Jesus Christ. He was a representative of God. And the way he ministered and represented God, we are to represent God. He was an example to us. Amen. And so we have to look at that and and we speak to the problem, not not even to God about the problem. Now, it's always good to pray and you can pray about everything, but if you're going to pray, it's not an inquiry prayer. It's an agreement prayer with God of what he said about that situation. Right? And that's a whole another that'd be a whole another sermon. But so, you speak to the problem, not to others about the problem. Many people speak to others about it and they never get around to speaking to the problem itself. They talk all day about it to other people, whether it's on the phone or in person or anything else. And by the end of the day, they have totally forgot to speak to the problem itself because they've been so busy talking to everybody else and trying to get everybody else to agree with their problem. You have to realize when you agree with with another person about your problem, your problem just got worse. Because if two agree, it's done. Amen. So, if you come to me and tell me how bad your problem is, I'm not going to agree with you. Come on now. Right. I'm going to speak to the problem and I'm going to tell it to go. Amen. But I'm not going to agree with you. Listen, if you're trying to get me to agree with you how bad your problem is, all you're not in faith, you're in trying to get sympathy. Do you understand that? Listen, every believer has to begin to rise up and be a believer. Come on. Right? Not a spiritual hitchhiker, but a believer themsself. Why? Because you will meet people I'll never meet. You can lay hands on people I'll never see. That's right. It's not your job to get them to me. It is your job to get Jesus to them. Yeah. Amen.

All right. I'm I'm going to find the live ones in this crowd at some point. I will find you. So number eight, see people as oppressed prisoners of war. Too often people look at the sick. They're especially in church, they will look at the sick and say, "What did you do to deserve this? What did you do to bring this on?" And it always goes back to pointing the finger at the person. And if that doesn't work, then they'll start pointing the finger at God. God's trying to teach you something. He's trying to show you something. He's trying to get you to have compassion for the sick. All that's a lie. Jesus wasn't sick and he had the greatest compassion. Amen. So, you don't have to get sick to have compassion for the sick. The love of God has been shed abroad in your hearts by the Holy Ghost. That love is there. Compassion is love in action. So, if you'll let that love out, you'll do something for somebody. Amen. All right. But you have to see people as oppressed prisoners of war. God hates oppression. I actually have an entire teaching on this out in the book bookroom bookstore out there. But God hates oppression. He hates it in all forms. And we need to look at people that are sick as oppressed prisoners of war that the enemy has them captured. There's there is a whole lot of militarystyle terminology in the new especially in the New Testament but also in the Old Testament. But we have to look at people as though they have been captured by Satan because that's what the Bible talks about that Satan goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. You see a person that's sick, guess what? They are being devoured. Cancer devours you. It eats away at you. It comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Therefore, it is of Satan. And even I would say it's the devil himself. Amen. So see people as oppressed, prisoners of war, which means what? Your job is to set them free. Your job is not to find out how they become prisoners of war. Right? You're not a judge. You're a deliverer. That's right. There's a big difference. Amen. Amen. Listen, I am speaking this way today on purpose. You know why? Because I am purposely hitting with my words. That's part of spiritual warfare. That's how you break through strongholds in people's minds is you have to hit the minds with a strong enough word that causes them to be slapped awake. You might say, right? That's why I'm speaking the way I am. Why? because there is no other way. Do you understand? You either believe in the spirit realm and you believe that the

Enemy is there to try to take you out, or you don't believe the Bible. That's the two options. Amen.

And whenever you believe that you have an enemy that is going about to try to devour you and everybody else, then you have to wake up and say, "You know what, I have to actually start to defend myself." Why? By the armor of God that God has given me. And then you start to resist the devil. And guess what? He will flee.

You say, "Well, I tried that. Didn't work." Then you didn't resist. Oh, yeah. I resist. No, you didn't. The Bible says, see, the Bible is true and man can be a liar. And the Bible says if you resist, okay, well, first it says, submit yourself to God. A lot of people might try to resist, but they hadn't submitted themselves to God. And resistance to the devil doesn't work unless you're submitted to God. That's it. So you submit yourself to God, and then you resist the devil, and he will flee from you. You got that? That that is a guarantee that the devil can—you—you should be in a place where the devil cannot touch you. Amen.

Now, so see people as oppressed prisoners of war. Number nine, get clean, stay clean. Get sin out of your life. Get all kinds of sin out of your life. Not just the ones you think are big sins, right? But every sin, get it all out of your life. Get it all under the blood and don't go back to it. Do a repentance that does not need to rep—be repented of. All right? That means you repent, and then you don't go back into it. You get free and stay free. Get clean, stay clean. Amen.

One of the best ways to get clean and stay clean: Number one is get filled with the Holy Spirit. And number two is get so busy doing the dos you don't have time to do the don'ts. Amen. That's how you stay clean. That's one of the ways to stay clean. The other is to know that the blood of Jesus always constantly is cleansing you of all unrighteousness. Amen. That's a promise of God. Believe him. All right. Tell him that you believe him in these things.

Now, so get clean, stay clean. Number 10. Stay out of pride. When you start seeing results and people start getting healed, stay out of pride. The enemy will try to move you into pride. He'll try to get you to a place where you think, "Oh, I'm I'm gifted. I'm anointed. I'm whatever it is." And when you start claiming that, you are stealing glory from Jesus. You understand that? I actually have a teaching on that also out there in the bookstore on stealing glory from Jesus. Don't steal glory. Anything you do is because he's in you and he gives you the will and the how to and the ability to do what you do. And if you can do it, anybody else can do it. And if anybody else can do it, then how in the world can you get into pride? Amen.

See, you only get into pride when you believe the sacred cows. When you believe the sacred cows and you believe, "Well, I'm anointed. I'm gifted. I'm special. Whatever it is, those are all sacred cows." Okay. Here's what you have to decide: Either nobody's special or everybody's special, because that's the way it is. All right. And now you say, "Well, we believe only one is special, and that's Jesus." Yep. And guess what? You and he are one. Amen. Don't separate yourself from Jesus. If—if he's special and you believe he's special, and I do. I believe he's special. Right. At the same—Why? 'Cuz he did something that we can never do. He died on a cross for our sins. We can never do that. That will forever make him special. Amen. And then the special one moved into us. Now if you take radioactive material, it's radioactive. If you put it inside of you, you become radioactive. Amen. Right? So when Jesus moved into you because he's special, you're special. Amen. If you want to call it that and you say, if that's how you need to think about it, then think about it that way. And realize that you have—you are called. You're anointed. You're appointed by God to do what Jesus did. Amen. He's not here. You're his substitute. He's here in you. He only moves when you move. If you don't lay your hands on people, he can't lay his hands on people. Amen. You need to get a hold of this. He says, "Well, but I, you know, I'm just—I'm just a believer." Then believe what the Bible says. Amen. He that believes can do the same works Jesus did and greater. Believe that. Amen.

A lot of people say, "Yeah, but you know, but I'm—I'm not a special believer. I'm not this kind of believer. I don't have a gift. I don't—" Do you have the Holy Spirit? Yeah. Well, the gift of the Holy Ghost is the greatest gift you can ever get. Amen. Amen. So, you need to realize who you are in Christ. And that'll help you set the captives free. And it'll help keep you from getting to become a captive. It'll—it'll keep you free. Amen. So number 10, stay out of pride. Anyone could do what you're doing. And if they could do it, no need for you to get into pride over it. Amen.

So now, I actually had a pastor tell me that once years ago, we were up in uh North Carolina, I think it was, and he wanted to go eat after a service. And so I agreed. This was when I was younger and stupid. And uh so he said, "Well, yeah, just—we'll just take my car." Lesson number one, always take your own car, 'cuz then you can leave when you want to. Otherwise, you're a prisoner and you're held captive until you get back to wherever your car is. All right? So, always take your own car. And so, as soon as I got in his truck, he started going, "Oh, God, you know, brother, what you're saying, I hear you, brother, 'cuz you know, God used to use me in healing." And then I got into pride. So, brother, stay—be careful. Don't get over into pride. Stay away from pride. And I—I looked at him. I was blunt. Like I said, I was young. I was stupid. And therefore, I was also very—even more blunt than I am today. Amen. But I told him, I said, "Did you not hear the message? I'm telling people they can do the same thing I can do." And if I can tell them that and it's Bible, then how could I get into pride if they can do what I can do? And if they can't do what I can do, then I'm lying to them by telling them to do what I'm doing. And that means if you can't tell them to do what you're doing, then you have to keep your mouth shut because you can't tell them to do anything because they might not be able to do it if you're special. Do—do you see how that works? And so he got real quiet there after that. But I told him, I said, "I don't know why you got into pride." And then we—through the luncheon that we went to, I found out how he got into pride because he started claiming an anointing. He started claiming he was gifted and had this gift and this anointing and all this kind of stuff. And I said, "Well, there's your problem right there." I said, "See, that's the difference with our message. We don't preach that." Amen. We preach that the anointed one lives in us and because of that, we have his power and we can do it. But every believer has the anointing, not an anointing. Right? You don't see different anointings in the Bible. You don't see that. Now, I'm trying not to get over into teaching on the anointing, per se, but you only see Jesus, the anointed one. You got that? And because of that, you don't see uh—Okay. If you want to know all the different kinds of anointings that are—that—that are lies, go to the bookstore. Not ours. You won't find them in there, but you go to the so-called Christian bookstore and look on the shelves and you'll see a Esther anointing and the Deborah anointing. And they have a whole list of all these different anointings as if there ever was a Deborah anointing or a Ruth anointing or an Esther anointing. No, there's just the anointed one and his anointing. And his anointing is in you. Amen. I've had to correct people that said, "Oh, he's got John Lake's anointing." No, I don't. And I don't want a John Lake anointing. Amen. 'Cuz John Lake didn't even have a John Lake anointing. All he had was the anointing of the Holy Ghost. Amen. And so I don't claim any of those kind of anointings. I claim him. He is my portion. Why would I want a man's anointing whenever the Bible says the Lord is my portion? Amen. So if the Lord is my portion, guess what? I don't even need a double portion. Why? 'Cuz the Lord's got it all. That's right. Amen. Amen. But that's another sacred cow. Oh, the double portion. Oh, the double port. Well, what about Elijah and Elisha? He didn't say, "I want a double portion of the Holy Spirit." He said, "I want a double portion of your spirit. I want to be twice the man of God you are." And he told him, "Stick with me." What does that mean? Learn from me. Be a—become my disciple. You'll know how I act and what I do and what I say and why I do what I do." And he said, "If you do that when I'm gone, then you'll step into my shoes and you'll do twice as much as I did." That's right. Amen. It wasn't a double portion of the Holy Spirit. Right? If that was true, why would God hold it back? See, that's one of the biggest things about all these sacred cows. Every sacred—sacred cow points its finger at God and says, "We don't have it 'cuz God hadn't given it." And that means God is holding back. Right? And that is—that is a lie from the pit of hell. God ain't holding nothing back. Amen. He poured out his spirit, every bit of it. Amen. Amen. All right. I'm not sure you're convinced yet. We'll see. All right. Number 11. Be aggressive.

Now, this is where the church has failed almost 100% over the last 150, 200 years especially. But it's because the church, okay, here's the way things work: Usually the—in the past, the church has been more full of women than men. And because of that, pastors preach women's sermons. And so they preach a whole lot on emotion. Why? Because women are—tend to be more emotional than men, right? And so they preach a whole lot of emotional sermons. And sermons about healing your emotions, healing your hurts. Guess what? Dead people don't hurt. So I'm not going to preach on your emotions. I'm not going to try to soothe your emotions, heal your emotions. I'm going to try to kill your emotions. All right? Why? Because your emotions will not help you in ministering to the sick. They usually hurt you. Why? Because you get into sympathy, not compassion. Big difference. And so, because of what preachers have preached, the preachers—because they preach feminine sermons, they have feminized the church and made the church weak. Now understand, I'm not saying women are weak. Please understand, there's a difference between feminizing something and something being weak. Do you understand what I'm saying? Because I'm telling you, I could go into why women in many ways are stronger. Okay? We're not going to go into that today, but I want you to know that because of the emotional preaching that has taken place and especially because of the passivity. Now, see, a lot of preachers preach passivity because they don't want strong people in their congregation. They want passive people that'll just go along and not create waves because pastors don't want to have to deal with people that get strong in their spirit and will actually say, "Now, wait a minute. Last week you said this and this week you're saying that, and so we don't want—" So, the preachers just preach people to—no—be passive. Unity. Unity. Unity. We got to have unity, right? And it's not unity, it's conformity is what they're trying to get. Because unity is unifying with God and saying what God said. Amen. And so in Jesus, you see an aggressiveness. My servant lieth at home, sick—of the—I'll come heal him. Come on. That sounds pretty aggressive. Ain't that right? That's right. Okay, let me give you another aggressive statement. What he—What did he say to his disciples? How long do I have to put up with you? How—King James, how long must I suffer thee? Right? But that—in—in Texan, that's real simple: How long do I have to put up with you? Right? And then later on, they said, "Why couldn't we cast the devil 'cuz you're unbelief?" Come on. He didn't say, "Well, you tried. That's okay. You'll get it next time." I mean, come on. You're not me. That's right. He didn't say any of that. He said, "Because of your unbelief." Amen. People say, "Well, you know, there's—there's reasons why people don't get healed." Yep. Unbelief. That's right. There you go. Unbelief. Well, but I thought you said traditions of man. What do you think causes the unbelief? Amen.

Listen, the church has to wake up, has to rise up, and has to become aggressive in its position and not fear cancel culture. Come on. Not fear somebody saying something against you. It's amazing people, man. People say things, they said things against Paul. They said things against Jesus. They did. And you don't see Jesus over there. Well, whenever the Pharisees came and said, "Well, uh, he cast out devils by the prince of devils—by Beelzebub." And you didn't see Jesus go, "Oh, you hurt my feelings. I just wish you loved me. I just don't know why you didn't do that." He turns around and says, "And you're of your father, the devil." That's what he spoke back to them. Amen. He goes, "I know who I am." And they said, "Who are you?" He said, "I am." That's right. Amen. When you find out who you are in him, you'll start to stand up and speak back, too. That's right. Amen. And not lay down. See, the enemy will say things to get you to back down or not speak up. And every time you don't speak up, that weakens you. So whenever you're in a grocery store and you hear somebody curse, you know, say something—uh—take the name of God in vain somehow or they say something like, "Well, Jesus Christ," you know, something like that, but they're not using it correctly, then that's your opportunity to speak up and defend him because that's what the Bible says is that—who shall declare his generation? Guess what? You're his generation. Amen. And you must declare that. And you—and if you hear them say, "Well, Jesus Christ, yes, he is Lord, isn't he?" And you start to speak back and you quit caring what people think. Amen. 'Cuz most people are devils. You hear what I'm saying? Amen. And because of that, devils speak through them. And you have to speak back. And when you speak back, it won't be you speaking. It'll be the spirit of your father in you speaking back to them. Amen. Amen. See, we either have to believe the Bible or we don't. That's right. That's right. What Jesus said is either true or it's not. Amen. The—see the reason people are—many times have failures is because they try to straddle the fence. Right? And it doesn't work that way. What you're ashamed of won't work for you. Amen.

I could challenge you right here, right? And even tell you how many of you believe in tongues. You believe in speaking in tongues. Let me see your hand. All right. You believe in—Okay. Okay. Now, how many of you speak in tongues? Okay, that's good. Now, how many of you have spoken in tongues loud in Walmart? There's a couple. Amen. Well, if you believe it, if you believe it in here, won't you believe it out there? Somebody might need to hear it. Speak in tongues and then interpret it. Amen. That's what happened on the day of Pentecost. Come on now. They heard them speaking in their own language. Ain't that right? Who knows? You may speak out and there might be somebody over there that you know doesn't speak English and you might be talking right to them. That's right. Amen. But it takes that raring up inside of you. Right now I got to keep going or we're not going to get all these done. So be aggressive. Develop your aggressiveness. Don't listen—Don't be a wimp. Okay? Develop your aggressiveness. And that—well—again I ain't got time to go on this—but anyway you can develop it by—how you—by speaking right—you start to speak—get the prayer request—get a hold of your own prayer request and start to speak—make your words hit—come on—speak boldly—speak bluntly—amen—hit with your words—and if you do that you'll develop that aggressiveness—and then now listen—there's two sides—there's the side of love and the side of hate—both are of God. If you love people enough, then you will also hate sickness and disease. Let me tell you, you hate sickness and disease to the same degree you love God and people. Write that down. Anyway, okay.

Now, so number 12, be led by God's character and nature. Now, this—this hits right directly at the idea of just being led. Well, I just want to be led. I want to be led by the spirit. Nowhere in the Bible does it ever say that the Holy Spirit will lead you to lay hands on the sick. Right? It never says that. It—there's no place in there where it said—and Jesus being led by the spirit laid hands on the sick. Right? It never says that. Amen. That's a—a modern doctrine that we have built up to take responsibility off of us. Why? Because I don't feel led. Right? As if you could feel the spirit, right? And so we don't feel led. So we don't do the commands. A command is the leading. Yes. Do you get that? When you have a command, that is the leading. So you don't have to wait for a feeling to obey a command. Most people's problem is not—not being led. Most people's problem is not being in obedience to what the word of God says. Amen. Amen. So become aggressive. Develop your aggressiveness. Uh number 12, be led by God's character and nature. Now remember, being led by God's character and nature means that you know his character and his nature. And you say—this is God. Do you realize I'm—I'm making a statement here: Christians, okay? The world, you got the world and you got Christians, right? The world does not need to be tempted to sin. That's right. Do you get that? Only Christians need to be tempted. Why? 'Cuz it's not your nature. You don't have to be tempted to act on your nature. Do—do you get that? Yeah. You don't have to be tempted if you're of the world, if you're not born again, you don't have to be tempted to go get drunk. You don't have to be tempted to be drug—to do drugs in that sense. Why? Because that's your nature. Do you understand that? But if you're born again, that's not your nature. So then you have to be tempted. But now notice what you're tempted with. It says if any man's tempted, it is—he is tempted by his own lust. In other words, there is an aspect of your soul that you have not killed. You've not crucified the lust of the flesh. See, we got a lot of Christians that think that, oh, because I joined the church or because I claim to be a Christian, everything was done. No, you have—part of being born again is crucifying the lust of the flesh. Not taught on a whole lot, but at the same time, it's something that has to be done. You have to crucify the flesh and the lust of the flesh. And then whenever that's crucified, now get this: You—you will be tempted until you crucify that. When you get—when you crucify the lust of the flesh, you're not even tempted. Now he may come along and say something, but it's not a temptation. He may try to tempt, but it's not a temptation to you. Do—do you understand that? You're only tempted with what you like. So the key is what? Quit liking it. Come on. How do you do that? You give it to God and say, "I want to hate this the way you hate it." And by that, you become a partaker of his divine nature because he hates the lust of the flesh. Come on. Amen.

Now, let's keep going. Be led by God's character and his nature. That means you don't need a specific leading to heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out devils, do any of that stuff—anything he has commanded, you don't need a—a leading to obey. That's right. Amen. Now, I would even say most, you know, the Bible says that God is not tempted with sin, neither does he

Tempt any man with sin. Isn't that right? That's right. But imagine this, okay? Just because God can't tempt a person with sin, doesn't mean he can't tempt them with righteousness. That's right. Think about that. How does God? How would God tempt you with righteousness? See that sick person? What are you going to do about it? Um, I should go lay hands. Yeah, there you go. I dare you. You ever had God dare you? God dare you. Go do it and see what happens. You say, "Well, they should get healed." Yeah, go see. Do you understand what I'm saying? If you're going to be tempted, if you're a believer, be tempted to righteousness. Amen. Amen. Big.

Why? Because if you're going to be tempted by the lust of the spirit, you know, the Bible says that the spirit lusteth to envy in us. What does that mean? He wishes, he he envies the fact that other things draw our attention. He wants that attention. That's right. And he is in us wanting that attention. And he's saying, "Think on this. Look at this. Think about this. Do this. Have fun doing this. Enjoy this." So you can have your mind renewed to the nature and character of God to the point that now you can be tempted to do righteousness. Amen. Why? Because it's your nature. Now understand I I know you don't have to be tempted to do your own nature, but until you find out it's your nature, you might have to be tempted. All right? But once you find out it's your nature, nature's like, "Well, yeah, of course. This is who I am." Why? Because he's in me and I'm in him and we're in this together. If I lay my hands on the sick, he lays his hands on the sick. Why? Because my hands are his hands. Amen. So you have to start seeing yourself that way.

Now number 13. Accept responsibility for your fellow man. You have to decide, I am my brother's keeper. I have a responsibility. I know something they may not know. And because of that, I may have something that they don't have, and therefore it's my responsibility to get it to them, whether it's the gospel or whether it's the results of the gospel, which is healing, deliverance, or whatever else it is. Amen. Number 14, decide to obey the Bible and not some arbitrary feeling. Don't wait for a feeling. We don't walk by feeling. That's right. Ain't that right? We walk by what? Faith. Ain't that right? So don't just try to go by, well, I feel this or I feel. No. Obey. Right. That's right. See, you drive down the road, you see a sign, it says 70 mph. Guess what? That means obey. Ain't that right? I know. I just hit a nerve. I know. And and and I know sometimes we preachers preach to ourselves. So, okay. But what I'm saying is I don't I don't have to be led to obey the speed limit. Do you understand? I I may have to kill the flesh to obey the speed limit, but you understand what I'm saying. But I I don't have to be led. Why? Because it's a law. It's a rule. His law is my rule. Do you get that? I don't have to be led. I don't have to have a feeling. That's right. I don't have to feel, well, you know, I feel like going 70. Why? Cuz if that was the way we've been led, I don't ever feel like going 70. Okay. But another thing anyway, I know many of you are praying for me. I appreciate that. Okay.

Now number 15. Know now listen. Number 15. Know that God is with you in you. Yes. Now get this. And for you. God is your friend. He is for you. He is not your enemy. Amen. He's not against you. He is for you. Why? If he wasn't for you, he would have never moved in you. That's right. Do you understand that? Amen. And if he moved in you, guess what? He is with you. So he's with you, in you, for you. He's behind you. Ain't that ain't that right? That's the greater one is in you than what's in the world. Isn't that right? That's him that's in you. And he's greater than anything you will face. Amen. Whatever you face, listen, he just There's times that I think the devil just pushes things in front of you and you have to look at it like Jesus did. If this man is here and he's blind, guess what? It's so that I can heal him. That's right. Amen. So, when the devil pushes something in front of you, it's there so you can beat it. Amen. Amen. That's what he told uh Joshua. And even in Judges, it talks about how God left five nations just so Israel would have the ability to practice war and learn how to fight. Think about that. That he left them there just so they could win. Amen. So when something faces you, just know he will never face allow you to be faced with something you don't have the ability to beat. So if it's facing you, you can beat it. Amen.

So number 16. Number 16. Speak. If you're going to speak, remember this about sickness and disease. If you're going to speak, speak from legal authority, not emotion. That's right. Speak from legal authority. The legal authority is by his stripes they were healed. Not, oh, but you know, it's my family and I love my family and I love this person and they're part of my family and I I really want them healed. That does not get people healed. If if if your emotions got people healed, every child that ever got sick would be healed because parents pray with emotion. You have to decide to pray as a representative of God and not as somebody connected to that person. When I went and prayed for my dad, I went and prayed for him. I had to go in there as a son of God going in and as a representative of God and not as my earthly father's son. I had to go in as a son of God. And I I couldn't pray for him with just an a a father-son love. I had to pray from for him from the legal standpoint of Jesus died and took those stripes so my dad could be healed. That's right. See, I couldn't look at him as my dad cuz then the emotions get in. I have to look at him, guess what? As an oppressed prisoner of war and from the legal standpoint that he has that God has executed righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. Therefore, my dad should be healed based on that, not based on the fact that I love him because he's my dad. That's right. Amen. This is a big thing. This is one of the things that most people praying for their loved ones, this is why they don't get results. It's because they're too close to the situation emotionally. Listen, people say, "Well, yeah, but if you don't have emotions, you know, then you're this or you're you're that." And they try to diagnose you. No, emotions. God gave you emotions and you can have emotions and but the emotions should work for you and with you, not against you. Amen. And they should not control you. Okay?

Most emotions are almost like the spout of a tea kettle that lets pressure out, right? You ever get so full of God, you just can't help just go off in tongues? You ever get so full of love toward God that you'll be driving down the road and song just comes out of your mouth? Guess what? You're that teapot. You're letting off the extra steam that built up inside of you. Why? You know how that got there? It didn't get there by accident. It got there because your mind was stayed upon him. And the more you think about him, the more real he becomes and the stronger he gets. He now understand, he doesn't get stronger in his own self. He gets stronger in your eyes. Amen. You have to get a hold of this. God doesn't get stronger. He's as strong as he can ever be. Amen. But you have to get him strong in your eyes. And you have to realize how strong he really is. And when you start thinking on his goodness and how what he really is, then that will build inside of you until you just explode with it. It'll come out your mouth. It'll come out your eyes. It'll come out your hands. Why? Because you realize how your relationship to him. But listen, just like we last thing and I'll stop here because we we're okay. So you have to realize no one can judge your relationship with God, right? Because and the reason I say that is because okay, you know, if uh for instance, I can't give you a relationship with God. All I can do is say what the Bible says, talk about his love for you, and hope you respond back with love. Amen. That's all I can do. It's like going to a marriage seminar. A marriage seminar does not fix your marriage. They give you tools. And if you apply the tools, then it can help your marriage. You get it? But you can go to every marriage seminar there is. And if you just sit there and think, I'm just soaking it in. I'm just so And then you don't put it into practice, your marriage ain't going to change. Amen. If you don't put this into practice, your life ain't going to change. That's right. It's that simple. There has to be an action to it. Amen. It's not just, well, I'm going to learn and I'm going to know and then when I know enough, it'll happen. Nope. That ain't the way it happens. Right? You don't just hatch out. You step out. Amen.

And so, you have to realize that people in in your heart toward God. When I was talking about relationship, people will judge your relationship based on their emotions and how they love God. And if you don't love God the way they love God, then they think you don't love God. Do you get that? And so, and that's why most church services more driven by emotion will be judged by how many people come to the front. How many people are cry or crying at the altar and they say, "Oh, look at those people. Look how much they love God." You don't know they love God. For all you know, they may be crying because they're so against God and they have been so against God, and they're so sad for being against God and yet they have Listen, being sad ain't repentance, right? You understand? Sorrow is not repentance. There is a sorrow that should lead to repentance. That's a godly sorrow. But there is also sorrow that does not lead to repentance, right? That's the sorrow of getting caught without repenting. Amen. And so there are people there are people down at altars all the time crying, screaming, all that stuff. You know, you know why they're having such a hard time getting through because they're refusing to submit to God. They are refusing actually to change and to repent. And they know when they get up, they're going to go back and do the same thing again. And they're crying because they feel bad. But guess what? Feeling bad don't save you and it don't deliver you. Amen. Yes. So there has to be so you can't judge somebody, right? There are times whenever the spirit of God will so overwhelm you that you can't do anything but shout. Sometimes you can't do anything but run. Amen. Sometimes you can't do anything but stand there and just total silence and just be totally amazed at his awesomeness. And and and many times through the emotions that you have now. Sometimes he'll take you into other emotions, but sometimes your emotion, he will work through that emotion. Why? For instance, I I'm generally not an overly emotional person, especially when I'm, as I would say, doing my job. You understand? Now, whenever I get done doing my job, that's when I get emotional. Amen. Whenever I get done praying for the sick and I'm driving home, that's whenever I get emotional. That's when I remind God, "Yes, thank you for that. Yes. And thank you for this. God, you're amazing. Right? Coming in even like this morning, that's that's a lot of time that I have to get emotional toward God. Why? Because me being here and being emotional in front of you ain't going to do nothing. Why? Because emotions be get emotions. And emotions don't save you and it don't deliver you, like I said. So, me getting emotional, it might make you cry. I can get emotional and laugh and maybe get you to laugh. But neither of those things is the gospel or the power of God. Do you understand? The power of God causes change. Amen. So you have to decide, do you want emotional religion or do you want Bible relationship with God? That's what it comes down to. Amen.

So don't try to judge other people by, oh well, you know, you need to be this, you need to get this. I, you know, I can tell whenever God gets a hold of you because you've done this or you do this or you act that way. No, that's how I'll tell when God gets a hold of you cuz that's your idea of God getting a hold of somebody, right? Let me tell you the number one way that God gets a hold of me is obedience. That's right. Number one way. Amen. Not my emotions. Now, my emotions are his and yes, and like I said, I get emotional, but it doesn't do any good to get emotional whenever I'm laying hands on the sick. Amen. Now understand I get spiritual. What I mean by that is I may get strong. I may get very vocal. I may be ve you know very aggressive. Okay? But those aren't emotions. You understand that? That's not an emotion becoming aggressive. That is me doing my job of getting that thing off of you. Do you get that? And I can do it quiet or I can do it loud or whatever it is. But however I do it, that's how the spirit moves through me. Amen. So you just have to let the spirit move through you and see how you do things and cooperate with the spirit of God. Amen. Are you with me? So all this goes back now. So we went through these um secret keys, okay, of divine healing. And if you put these into practice, now these have been taught all over the world. We have taught them to thousands of people. And the people that put it into practice, not just the people that hear it, the people that put it into practice, write us regularly with testimonies. Hundreds of thousands of people are getting healed because of these keys. Amen. So, and they work for anybody cuz God is not a respecter of persons. Amen. He is a respecter of faith. And guess what? Faith is obedient. Amen. I'm going to stop there. That means you still got about three minutes to get up and get around, do what you need to do. Amen. And we will be right back shortly. God bless you. See you again shortly.
