Discipleship in Being in Divine Alignment/Growth & Sustainability
Sunday, January 15, 2023 – RECAP/Study Points
Dr. DeeDee Freeman:
This is the day that the Lord has made. Choose to rejoice and be glad about it.
God is always perfecting those things that concern you. It may not look like it’s already done, but it’s already done. This is the scripture that we are always confessing
– Nahum 1:9 (KJV) What do ye imagine against the Lord? He will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
You may have gone through some things, and you may be dealing with some things, but you have to say, “this is it and an end is right now.” God is causing an utter end to come to whatever affliction you may be dealing with right now. I decree and declare, and I say onto that affliction that it shall not rise a second time. Now open your mouth and say, I believe I receive In the Name of Jesus!
Pastor Mike: Tithes and Offering
Tithes and Offerings are God’s financial plan to prosper His people. Two words concerning this year are “Growth and Sustainability”. Those are financial terms and it’s important that you understand systems will dictate growth and sustainability. If you place anything in a system and you comply, you will automatically have growth and sustainability.
The Kingdom of God is a system, an algorithm and it is a government. Seek His Kingdom first. Your tithing is your business. If you are not tithing, start and if you have started, continue. We start right, stay right, and finish right.
Guest speaker Dr. Steve Parson
One-third of Jesus’ healing ministry dealt with casting out demons. One-half of Jesus’ ministry dealt with physical healing.
Acts 10: 38 (KJV)
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
With Covid and other things that are out here we need to know the Lord that we serve is our Savior and Healer. He wants us to walk in divine health and if we get sick, He wants us to believe His Word to get our healing.
The Word of God works when we work it!
Let’s work it now… say this…
“My body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. My body is for the Lord and the Lord is for my body. Therefore, every sickness, every disease, every germ, every bacteria, every virus, including the Covid virus and every other virus that touches my body, dies instantly in the name of the Lord Jesus for I command it so because the Bible says that Jesus took all my infirmities and He bore all of my diseases and by His stripes, I was healed. If the Bible says I was healed, I believe I’m healed right now. The healing power of God is working right now from the top of my head to the souls of my feet. It’s driving out anything, everything that’s not of God. I am submitted to God, and I resist the devil, therefore he and all of his agents flee from me. I will not be sick another day in my life, and I’ll not die before my time, and with long life will He satisfy me and show me His salvation and no evil plague will come nigh my dwelling, nothing evil shall happen onto me in Jesus’ Name. Amen!”
That’s His medicine, take your medicine every day. Certainly, a merry heart works just like medicine, but the Word of God is medicine to all of our flesh – so take it every day. Follow the instructions and take it with your mouth.
Matthew 8:5 – 13 (NKJV)
vs. 13: Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so
let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.
Question: How was the Roman soldier believing?
vs. 9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
When the Centurion saw Jesus coming, he knew it was the will of God for his servant to be healed.
Note: The Will of God and the Word of God are the same. vs. 7 says, “And Jesus said to him I will come and heal him”.
Once the Roman centurion understood the will of the father, he said Jesus, you don’t have to come [to heal my servant] I now know your will. The Roman centurion spoke the word, BE healed, and receive your healing. The servant was healed.
God makes the decisions from heaven, but we are the ones that carry them out on earth. Many came to Jesus for the miracles that he was doing.
John 4:46-52 (KJV) This is the second miracle that the bible mentions.
Not all miracles are instant because verse 52 says, “he began to amend”.
vs. 52 Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
Faith is one of the most important things that we need to know as Christians. You need to understand what it is, how it works, and operate in it. We need faith in the world that we live in now. Without faith, it is impossible to please God.
