MIRACLE SUNDAY: 1/28/24, Daniel fast 21 days of activation. INTRO: You were given faith building scriptural confessions last week. This week you will activate your faith. Your fasting has pierced the darkness our enemy. Angels have been activated and waiting on you to fight on your behalf as well as others in this room. Today all of us are going to speak, declare and proclaim the WOG over others and maybe even yourself. Today is a the day end time miracles.

PROP: “Today I am activated to work healing miracles.”

I. THE METHODS:

A. The methods used for healing:

1. Lay hands on: Mk 16:17-18 "These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

2. Use His name: Jn 14:12-14 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. "Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. "If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

3. Cast out: Mk 6:7 And He summoned the twelve and began to send them out in pairs, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits; 13 And they were casting out many demons and were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them. 4. Say to the obstacle: Mk 11:22-23 And Jesus answered saying to them, "Have faith in God. "Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him.

5. Pray: Jm 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

6. Use the gifts: 1 Co 12:9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

II. THE WILL OF GOD FOR ME?

A. Sickness is part of Satan’s works.

1. Jesus always treated sin, diseases, and devils the same.

2. They were all healed in His sight.

3. He rebuked them all. 4. Lk 5:13 And He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately the leprosy left him.

B. He was manifested to destroy them all... 1. He does not want the "works of the devil" to continue in our physical bodies.

a. He wants no cancer, a plague, a curse, the works of the devil, to exist in His own members. b. 1 Co 6:15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?

2. Lk 9:56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.

A. Sickness destroys; therefore, it is not from God...

B. Jesus came to save us SOZO, to deliver, to save and preserve us, to heal us, to give us life, to make us whole),

C. John prayed the will of God. 3 Jn 1:2 Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.

1. No one is excluded. Mt 4:23 Jesus was going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people.

D. The healer is in us at all times. Rm 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

1. Is it the will of God for Him to heal me and at this time?

2. YES! How? Doctor? Jesus never called in a doctor to help.

a. Doctors and medicine can't heal the body, only the body can heal the body.

b. Ex 15:26 And He said, "If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the LORD your God,

and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the LORD, am your healer."

c. Mt 8:16-17 When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: "HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES

III. THE TOOLS OF HEALING:

A. Laying of hands; anointing w/oil, prayer of faith, prayer cloths, SPEAKING TO THE OBSTACLE, 1. Declaring, binding/loosing, forbidding (fig trees) the purpose of something, faith of others.

IV. MY PARTICIPATION

A. Increasing my faith and keeping a storehouse of faith to call on.

1. 2 Co 5:7 for we walk by faith, not by sight—

2. Jn 15:7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

3. Ps 103:2-3 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases;

4. Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

B. FIGHT W/YOUR FAITH!

1. Don’t stop, don’t quit: Regardless of how small you might think it is.

2. “Don’t give up, Don’t stop w/one try, keeping trying, don’t reason your miracle away, or

depend on the advice of others.

a. Jesus never prayed for someone's healing. He prayed a lot, then He would speak and demand a response. DON’T QUIT!

b. Lk 10:19 "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.

B. Take action:

1. Go: Lk 17:12-14 As He entered a village, ten leprous men who stood at a distance met Him; and they raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" When He saw them, He said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they were going, they were cleansed.

2. Get up: Act 3:7-8 And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened. With a leap he stood upright and began to walk; and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

3. Stand to your feet: Act 9:33-34 There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years, for he was paralyzed. Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your bed." Immediately he got up.

B. Take action:

a. Faith to be embarrassed, faith stopped Him in His tracks: Mt 20:30-33 And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!" The crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!" And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, "What do you want Me to do for you?" They *said to Him, "Lord, we want our eyes to be opened."

b. Act 14:9-10 This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, when he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had faith to be made well, said with a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." And he leaped up and began to walk.

4. Press in to Him: Mt 14:36 and they implored Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were cured.

Stretch your faith!

5. If you will stretch out He will pull you thru: Mt 12:13 Then He *said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" He stretched it out, and it was restored to normal, like the other.
