It's Supernatural

And so repent from unbelief. The next one is repent from words that have actually cursed and destroyed you instead of built you up. In James 3, verse 6 it says that, that our words actually create a course of our life. So if you with intentionality are going to build with God, you have to make sure your words are creative words. Jesus said the words I speak are spirit and they are life. He never spoke one word of death. Every word He spoke were life-giving words.

And so we need to train our self to speak life-giving words. If I get a thought in my mind or hear myself speaking something that is not according to His word, recently I’ve been saying “fire” on that in Jesus’ name! (chuckles) I want to cast it down as fast as I can because I know it’s not going to create heaven on earth, it’ll create destruction. So just in your heart right now then repent then from words that have cursed you or destroyed you because sometimes we self-curse our self. Okay?

Then the next is repent from any actions and consequences that, that have resulted as, as far as your choice. Now this might have been many years ago. Let’s say five years ago you made a bad financial decision. As a result of that you’re bankrupt today. Well, I have some good news for you. Jesus is a Redeemer of the time. And actually time is a created substance, and although we don’t have, have time to go into that right now, is that, uh, time is your servant. Time is your servant. And so you can actually through the blood of Christ you can go back to that point where you made that mistake and ask God to forgive you.

You know we all make mistakes but God’s a Redeemer. And you don’t have to live with a mindset of saying “Well I’ve failed, I’m a, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m a failure and everything’s bad for the rest of my life. I’m going to pay the price.” Do you know that in the Bible the blood sacrifices were also for the consequence of sin as well?

Did you know that in Hebrews 11:3 it says “By faith the worlds were framed by the word of God”? Did you know you can frame your future with the word of God? That you can decree the promises He gives you and partner with Him in that and create atmospheres and realms in your life that will just bring light into any darkness? And so she did that and, and she just loved on him and she set boundaries in the spirit. God gave her also some practical wisdom on what to do. She went in and she threw out his music and everything. She’d been too afraid to do it before but the Lord told her to do it and so she did it.

And you know what? It worked! At first there was a little wrestling match because that spirit in her son was trying to take him out but she could see through it now because she’d been with God. And God who is our Creator, who is the Ruler of all, who is the All-Wise Eternal God, He gave her the answer and she implemented what she was told to do.

And then within time, it didn’t happen overnight, I’ll say that, but in time she never lost faith. She just continued to decree. She continued to work on it and it changed the atmosphere in her home. Instead of the, the darkness and the oppression that was coming into the home though that rebellion, instead of the contention there was now peace. Another woman that I know her daughter was a, a crack addict for 15 years. In and out prison. And, and, and her daughter was living in a realm of addiction.

She had been in addiction for so long it was a realm around her life. Her whole life was about that addiction. Her mother heard about the tool of creating with God through the power of decree and praise. And she took hold of the Word and starting making decrees, daily decrees, for her daughter. She did that for a whole year and started to notice shifts and changes. But every day she said I’m not giving up.

WARREN: So when Jesus sat down at the Passover, when I saw, He said some unique thing. He says, I have truly desired to eat of this Passover, this particular one with you. That’s striking. Why? So God started giving this revelation. See the food was there. In Judaism, we’re giving a Memorial to what God did to free us from a wicked slave master named Pharaoh. God provided a deliverer. His name was Moses. He took them through… The sea parted. He took them through to the other side. They watched their enemy being destroyed. The water crashed on their heads.

WARREN: But what Yeshua is about to say is, “I am the deliverer” who God said, “Moses, there’s a greater prophet coming, and that he’s going to be the Messiah, and he will deliver the people from sin. He will deliver the people so I could restore the relationship I had with Adam and Eve before the fall, where I walked in the coolness of the Garden with them, where there was intimacy. There was heaven on earth. Sickness couldn’t stand.” This is what we’re talking about because so many people are going through things, Sid. Right now they’re going through things in their lives, and they’re seeing all this stuff, global plagues and all this stuff. And they’re losing hope. Even believers are.

WARREN: So what I’m excited about this revelation of Passover is this, Jesus brought meaning for all people, for Jews and Gentiles that believe upon him. So here’s what would happen. So on the table, this is what I found out, do with three pieces of matzah. And it’s a mystery to the Rabbis, but they say, “These matzah are echad.” Hebrew word means one, they’re unified. Well, I didn’t know it, but the matzah stands for the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. And you’ll find out, it says right in the New Testament, He took the middle piece of matzah, the Son.

WARREN: Now, if you look at this matzah that Jesus took, this is the first part of the communion if you look at matzah it has piercings in it. So there’s a visual thing to relate to the body of Messiah. There’s stripes in it burns in it. And by his stripes, the whippings that took place, we are healed. So he broke that. And then he distributed this to his disciples. And this is my body broken for you.

How many of you know there are a lot of angels in heaven? And I want to encourage you that at this day and this hour God is restoring to the Body of Christ, praise God, the spiritual gift of discerning of spirits which is your ability to discern spiritual beings, both good and evil. Angels or demons. It has a little bit more to do with that but for the sake of this teaching we’ll keep it truncated. I believe if you really want to press in to this aspect of God’s kingdom that “the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force,” you can entertain God’s angels and He can begin to accelerate this in your life. You can learn how to co-labor with them.

And just like I moved from poverty to prosperity. Just like I moved from sickness to health. Just like I moved from hopelessness to hope God can give you the grace to co-labor, to “sum doulos” with His angels to bring those things to pass in your life and in your sphere of influence. Here’s something to consider. Have a family member that’s not serving the Lord? I’m speaking to a grandmother right now. You’ve been praying for those grandchildren and they just aren’t coming in. You’ve been trying to witness to them. Why don’t you ask God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to send an angel to them that they will hear! It’s been amazing as we’ve done this and we’ve seen family members make immediate turn-arounds where they just come and all of a sudden say you know what? I want to hear about this Jesus guy you’re always telling me about. Anybody if you want that? It’s possible for you. That’s one way that you can co-labor with God’s angels is to see your family saved. Can somebody say amen?

AUDIENCE:  Amen!

ART: Welcome everybody! It’s great to have you with us here. And my name is Art Thomas. I’m going to be talking to you tonight about healing. Now what I’ve learned is that when I’m in Africa I really only have to give a three minute teaching on healing, in fact less than that. Really all I teach is Jesus wants to heal. He wants to use you to do it so here’s how you do it. Lay hands on someone. Say “be healed in Jesus name” and then have them test it out. If it works praise Jesus. If it doesn’t do it again. Keep going until you see either they’re done and they don’t want you to anymore or you see it’s healed. Or you find that you’re in yourself you’re striving and so you just have to kind of recognize all right I don’t have the faith for it today. And I just do that. I confess to person I’m sorry.

If Jesus was standing here you would be healed right now instead you got me. And I’m not perfectly like Him but I’m growing and I want to be. All right? And I tell people keep seeking healing. Now that is so much more encouraging to a person than when we say there’s probably something wrong with you. Probably hidden sin in your life. Maybe you didn’t have enough faith. Cause now that’s funny to us because we’ve all heard it. But I can’t tell you how many meetings I go to where someone comes up to me in tears saying 20 years ago someone told me I had hidden sin and that’s why I’m not healed yet and I’ve been seeking God for 20 years and He won’t tell me what that sin is. And I’m like I know why. And they go why? I say because it’s not there. You know? That’s not what Jesus did.

When the epileptic boy wasn’t healed He didn’t pin it on the little boy. He didn’t pin it on the boy’s dad even. So biblically like family members are even like set aside because Jesus knows the emotional strain on us as family members because we love so much and we care so much. But when it comes to learning faith I always encourage people don’t learn faith in the context of your family because it’s really hard to disengage from the heavy emotion attached to it. Usually we’re like well I’ve prayed for this person 300 times and it’s just not going to happen. You know? So what I do when I teach in Africa, real short teaching and then we see people healed left and right. But when I do this in America sometimes that little statement right there everybody’s like whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up! I’ve got some questions. Which is great. You should question things.

In fact the reason I have a whole bunch of answers for you is because I questioned everything. I was the guy that took a whole three whole months of arguing against the possibility that God always wants to heal and I brought every one of those questions to the scripture. I brought all of them to the Holy Spirit. I said Lord this doesn’t make sense. This doesn’t make sense. I was asking questions about Paul’s thorn in the flesh. Questions about Timothy leaving Trophimus sick in Miletus. You know telling Timothy to drink a little wine because of his frequent illnesses. You know the city of unbelief, Nazareth, where you know Jesus could only work a few miracles. I brought all those questions to the Lord and guess what? He answered all of them. And He answered them so satisfactorily, like I’m a very logical thinker. I like to process through things. If it doesn’t make sense I’m not sold.
