health.
Those who do not continually proclaim
divine health
Sickness has to come to them.
They're like the weeds growing in the
garden. Yes, you didn't do anything
wrong. It's like the man, he didn't sew
anything in his garden. He was saying,
"I didn't sew the wrong seeds. Where did
they come from?" Yes.
If you had s the right thing, you have
the right results. Now you refuse to s
the the right thing, they will come from
the ground. Why? Because according to
the law of God, plants were commanded to
come out of the soil.
So if you don't plant anything,
Hallelujah.
>> Praise the Lord.
>> Okay. So, we are in Romans chapter
number four and from the 17th verse. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.

Are you hearing me? No diabetes,
no heart trouble,
no blood infection.
As it is written, I have made thee a
father of many nations
before him whom he believed, even God.
Now you're going to underline this part.
He says, even God. Say God.
Good. God who quickenth the dead. That
means makes alive the dead. He brings
the dead to life. God who quickenth the
dead and calleth those things which be
not as though they were.
He calls things that do not exist as
That is God's way.
He calls things that be not as though
they were.
He said to Abraham, you can see that in
the first part of the verse, he called
he said to Abraham, "I have made you a
father of many nations." And the man had
no child.
And yet God said to him, "I have made
you a father of many nations.
He didn't say I shall make you. He said
I have made you so.
When the man has yet had no child, God
He calls things that be not as though
they were.
He didn't say I will make you a father.
He said I have made you a father.
It was up to the man now to do something
about it.
God is saying to you, I have made you a
success. I have made you healthy and
strong. I have made you prosperous. I

He brings life to the dead.

Hallelujah.
>> God who quickenth the dead and calleth
those things which be not as though they were.
And it tells us about Abraham here
that God said to him, I have made thee a
father of many nations.
So he continues his story about Abraham
which he was already talking about in
the previous verses. So in the 18th
verse still talking about Abraham he
said who against hope.
Now I want you to notice this. Abraham
believed the God who gives life to the
dead and calls things that be not as
though they were. He tells us the kind
of God that Abraham believed in is a God
who gives life to the dead
and calls things that do not exist as
though they already existed. Abraham
believed in that kind of God. That's the
God he trusted in.
The God who gives life to the dead.
Now look at it. Who against hope?
In other words, when the situation had
become hopeless,
NATURALLY HOPELESS,
You know the meaning of that statement?
Let me just tell you very simp it's so
powerful. Against hope. He believed in
hope. He's not saying that he believed
that this was his hope and so he
believed in his hope. No against hope.
He believed in hope meaning that he
created substance out of his hope.
>> And that's exactly what Bible says faith
is. It is the sub substance of things
hoped for. He hoped for it and so he believed
believed
in hope.
So he created it. That's what the Bible
says. Abraham believed God. I want you
to understand that he's not just talking
about mental believing. Especially when
you understand that this was lifted from
the Old Testament and the Hebrew
construction meant that Abraham made an
unqualified committal to Jehovah. In
other words, it was faith not just
accepting the reality of something in
form of believing. No, he cast himself
on Jehovah.
That's faith.
He had absolute confidence, absolute
So against hope HE CREATED SUBSTANCE OUT
OF HIS HOPE.
As far as HE WAS CONCERNED THAT WHICH HE
had pictured
he made positive. You remember his name
had been changed from Abraham to Abraham.
Abraham.
Father of many
father of many.
HE CREATED SUBSTANCE OUT OF IT. He
called himself the right name, father of many.
many.
He was called supposed father, assumed
father. But now he called himself father
of many cuz God said I have made you the
father of many. So he began to say I am
the father of many. He introduced
himself to others as the father of many.
I am father of many. As yet he had no
children but he called himself father of
many. Father of many.
What happened? What happened? It was
based on a scripture that we read
yesterday, 2 Corinthians chapter 4:13.
He said, "I believed, therefore have I
spoken." You remember that night the
Bible says that God brought Abraham out,
you know, and asked him to look at the
time he was still called Abraham. He
said, "Look at THE STARS AND COUNT THEM
IF YOU'RE ABLE TO number them." And he
went out and looked. The Bible says,
"And he believed in the Lord."
That day he believed and God said now
you're ready. From your believing you
can answer the right name. Your name is Abraham.
Abraham.
>> And so he began to say I am Abraham. SO
HE SPOKE BECAUSE he believed. THAT'S
WHAT PAUL SAID. I BELIEVED AND THEREFORE
HAVE I SPOKEN. SO I'M DECLARING THAT I
am Abraham because I have believed.
He wasn't trying to believe. He had come
to believe. And so nobody could argue
with his name. He couldn't listen to you
if you asked him, "Why are you calling
yourself Abraham at this time?" He
didn't have to give YOU AN EXPLANATION.
IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO TRY TO
convince you. He didn't m it didn't
matter to him that you were in the
senses and he was in the spirit. So he
said, "I am Abraham.
Abraham is my name. Father of many." He
had come to believe. And the believer is
Hallelujah.
>> Praise God.
>> He says, "Who against hope believed in hope
hope
that he might become?"
Huh, this is wonderful.
In other words,
look at it. He says, "That he might
become." He believed in hope
Isn't that what we read in Romans
chapter 10 verse 10? When the heart man
believes under righteousness with the
mouth confession is made unto
that he might become.
HE DECLARED HIS FAITH. SO HE WAS
CATAPULTED TO THAT POSITION THAT HE HAD SEEN
SEEN
>> WITH THE MOUTH. CONFESSION IS MADE.
YOU CATAPULT YOURSELF INTO THAT POSITION
THAT YOU HAVE SEEN IN YOUR SPIRIT with
your mouth.
Keep talking.
I am the righteousness of God in Christ
Jesus. I walk in righteousness in the
name of the Lord Jesus. I walk in
righteousness. See,
the devil has been defeated.
>> We don't need to defeat the devil
Somebody said, "Well, I'm wrestling with
the devil."
You don't need to wrestle with the devil.
devil.
You have put him down. There is a fight
of faith now. And you have to understand
when the Bible talks about the fight of
faith and when it talks about our
warfare, what is this warfare? What is
this fight of faith? The Bible says we
wrestle not against flesh and blood but
against principalities, against powers,
against rulers of darkness of this world.
world.
against spiritual wickedness in high
places. He says we wrestle not. What do
you mean wrestle?
The word wrestle there doesn't mean that
we're fighting them. It's not a fight.
He's referring
to the fight of faith, not fighting the
devil, but he's talking about the demon
spirits of darkness trying to sway you
from the truth. And that's what the fire
That's what it's all about.
It's not like we are engaged with
satanic forces in a physical combat.
It's not that way at all. We are not
engaged with satanic forces in the
physical physical combat.
No, when it talks about the the the
wires of the devil, what does he tell us
to take? He says the shield of faith. He
didn't say take your shield. He said
it's a shield of faith. It's not a
physical shield. Faith is your shield.
You understand? Faith is the shield.
It's not that there is a shield. All right?
right?
It's not talking about a shield in the
realm of the spirit that is applied by
faith. Come on. Come on. Come on.
>> Are you hearing me? There is no shield
in the realm of the spirit that we need
to take by faith
and use. No, your faith is the shield.
THAT IS WHY IT IS CALLED THE SHIELD of
faith. Your faith is the shield.
Oh, come on here.
And it says the sword of the spirit.
What is it? He says THE WORD OF GOD
WHICH YOU PROCLAIM, WHICH YOU PROFESS,
WHICH YOU DECLARE, WHICH YOU CONFESS AND
ANNOUNCE. HE SAYS THAT is the sword of
>> It's not that there is a sword in the
realm of the spirit that you declare, I
take now in the name of Jesus the sword
of THE SPIRIT. UH-UH. WHEN YOU SPEAK THE
WHEN YOU STAND YOUR GROUND IN FAITH AND
PROCLAIM THE WORD IN FAITH, THAT IS THE SHIELD.
You don't need to picture any shield and
try to catch it.
I confess, I receive the shield of
faith. No, no, no, no. Your faith is the shield.

found imaginations
and every high thing, oh glory, that
exalted itself against the knowledge of
God and bringing into captivity every
thought to the obedience of Christ. Now,
I want you to understand that this must
not be taken out of context.
We're going to read it in its context to
I'm reading from verse one.
We started from verse three, right? Most
of us know how to quote it from verse
three. Not many of us know what is
connected to it from verse one. But when
you begin to read it from verse one and
then beyond verse 5, you get to
understand. All right. Verse one. Now I
Paul myself beseech you by the meekness
and generalness of Christ who impresses
and based among you but being absent and
bold towards you. But I beseech you that
I may not be bold when I am present with
that confidence with I think to be bold
against some which think of us. Now
watch this. Some
which think of us as if we walked
according to the flesh. So he's not
He's talking about some
because he refers to some people in the church.

Now you have to understand where this is
all coming from. This whole thing has to
They're going to have to understand the
whole subject from first Corinthians
into second Corinthians to know what
Now he says
you can you can understand that there's
something wrong somewhere. There's a
problem somewhere and Paul is referring
to this thing. So verse two again, but I
beseech you that I may not be bold when
I am present with that confidence
wherewith I seem to be bold against some
which think of us as if we walked
according to the flesh. He says I'm
coming to you and I I plan to be bold
against you but somehow he says I know
what you think about me that um I'm bold
when I'm away and I'm not bold when I'm
present. said, "But this time I'm coming
with boldness because I've got to talk
to some of you who think that we are
walking according to the flesh."
See, he's talking to the church. To the
church in Corinth, there's an issue.
There's a matter up.
So he says, "Some of you think that we
are walking according to the flesh." So
he goes in verse three to say for though
we walk in the flesh we do not war after
the flesh. Now I'm going to tell you
something about this as we go on. So he
says for the weapons of our warfare are
not kind of out but man is regard to the
pulling down of strongholds etc etc etc.
Then in verse five, I want you to
notice, casting down imaginations and
every high thing that exalted itself
against the knowledge of God and
bringing into captivity every thought to
the obedience of Christ and having in
readiness or in a readiness to revenge
all disobedience when your obedience is
fulfilled. Do you look on things after
the outward appearance? See,
you notice he's asking them, do you look
on things after the outward appearance?
If any man trust to himself that he is
Christ, let him of himself think this
again that as he is Christ, as he
belongs to Christ, even so are we also
Christ, we also belong to Christ.
So when he says we, he's not talking of everybody.
down.
I get you all now. You're so quiet on
me. Now,
let me read that verse 7 into verse 8.
So you see, do you look on things after
the outward appearance? If any man trust
to himself that he is Christ, let him
of himself think this again, that as he
is Christ, even so are we Christ. For
though I should boast somewhat more of
our authority. Uh-huh. of our authority
which the Lord have given us for
edification and not for your
destruction. I should not be ashamed.
You see that he's talking about our
authority which God has given to us for
your edification not for your
destruction. God gave us authority for
your edification.
So when he said we us, he wasn't
referring to everybody. He was talking
about the leaders
and I said you have to study from first
Corinthians into 2 Corinthians to know
what he was talking about and who he was
referring to.
How many of you are understanding it in
context right now? Thank you. Now this
will become clearer. Go back to verse three.
He says, "For though we walk in the
flesh, we do not war after the flesh."
it means to lead soldiers
So he's not talking about fighting the devil.
devil.
He's talking about strategizing.
So when we tell you what to do, he's
saying we know what we're dealing with.
We are operating from a high realm
because we understand the manipulations
of Satan.
So he says the authority which the Lord
has given to us for your edification and
not for your destruction.
So the leadership that we give to you,
we are given from a high realm of the spirit,
spirit,
our military leadership, he's saying
strategizing in the realm of the spirit
is not according to the flesh. It's not
according to our brains. We are not
thinking it out. We're not trying to
reason out with our senses. We
understand these things from the realm
of the spirit. FOR THOUGH WE WALK IN the
flesh, we do not lead and guide and
strategize according TO THE FLESH. WHY?
BECAUSE THE WEAPONS that we use are not man-made.
That's why we have to strategize
according to the spirit. We have to
function according to the spirit. So
when we give instructions, they are
coming from the realm OF THE SPIRIT.
BECAUSE THE KIND OF WEAPONS THAT we use
are not of human understanding. I come

Look at the whole army of Egypt coming
against Israel.
God says, "MOSES,
STRETCH YOUR HAND OVER THE WATER AND
DIVIDE IT." HOW? HOW? HOW? THE WEAPONS
Egypt can't believe it. IT CAN'T GO
THROUGH THEIR MINDS THAT THE RED SEA
WILL SPLIT WIDE OPEN. THEY HAVE NEVER
HEARD ABOUT IT. THEY HAVE NEVER THOUGHT
ABOUT IT. THEY HAVE NEVER IMAGINED IT.
AND RIGHT BEFORE THEIR EYES, THE RED SEA
SPLIT WIDE OPEN.
They couldn't believe it.
Could this BE GOD?
THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE STANDING RIGHT IN
PRESENCE OF HISTORY in the making. But
they thought, well, WE DIDN'T SEE
NOBODY. WE ONLY SAW MOSES AHEAD OF THEM.

Our strategies are different.
THE CANAL ONES BEGAN TO SAY, "OH GOD,
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? MOSES, YOU WANT
TO DESTROY US?" THEY LOOKED AT THE
WATER. THEY SAID, "NO WAY." They looked
this WAY AND THAT WAY. WE CAN'T ESCAPE.
WE ARE DEAD MEN. WHAT THEY FORGOT WAS
THAT MOSES WAS STRATEGIZING WITH
YOU SEE, JEHOVAH ALREADY INTRODUCED
HIMSELF TO MOSES. HE SAID, "MOSES,
ABRAHAM, ISAAC, and Jacob, YOUR YOUR
FATHERS KNEW ME AS EL SHAD, BUT I AM JEHOVAH."
JEHOVAH." HALLELUJAH.
HALLELUJAH.
HE SAID, "I'M GOING TO BRING YOU OUT OF
EGYPT. I'M NOT GOING TO FUNCTION AS AS
EL SHIA, BUT AS JEHOVAH. I'LL LEAD YOU
OUT OF BONDAGE. I AM JEHOVAH.
THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE
ARE NOT CANNON. THEY ARE MIGHTY THROUGH
GOD TO THE PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS.
One of our pastors told me the other day
there was a building that they wanted
for church
and the man, the agent who was in charge
of it said, "No way. I can't give it to
you." He made up his mind. He wasn't
going to give it to them. Well, he tried
to make it very difficult.
And several times they had a meeting
with you. No way.
So watch
the last time they came to the building
to take a look at it. He said they got
together he and his brethren and they
began to pray. They began to speak in
other tongues. This man who was upset
WITH THEM WAS GOING AWAY WHILE THEY WAS
PRAYING AND THEN he looked at them. HE
COULDN'T MOVE ANY FURTHER. Are you
hearing me? That day he made UP HIS MIND
HE WAS GOING TO GIVE THEM THE PROPERTY.
THE WEAPONS OF OUR warfare
are not cannon. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
WE ARE STRATEGIZING IN THE REALM OF THE
SPIRIT. DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR
IMAGINATIONS OF FEAR. He says, "THESE
WEAPONS ARE MIGHTY THROUGH GOD TO PULL
DOWN STRONGHOLDS, TO CAST DOWN
IMAGINATIONS, and bring down EVERY HIGH
THING THAT EXALTED ITSELF AGAINST THE
KNOWLEDGE OF GOD." CAN YOU SHOUT, "AMEN, SOMEBODY."
HALLELUJAH.
WE ARE STRATEGIZING
IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRITS. AND YOU
KNOW WHEN WE GET INTO THAT WAR ROOM AND
WE BEGIN TO PRAY in the HOLY GHOST, WE
PRAY IN THE HOLY GHOST. WE PRAY IN THE
HOLY GHOST. WE PRAY IN THE HOLY GHOST.
WE PRAY IN THE HOLY GHOST. GLORY TO GOD.
OH, HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH.

Joshua learned it from Moses.
When it was time to take Jericho,
Joshua knew HE COULDN'T SIT DOWN WITH
THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL TO BE PLANNING ON
HOW TO TAKE JERICHO. HE COULDN'T LOOK
FOR THE OLDEST MEN in Israel to SAY,
"HOW WE GOING to take Jericho?" NO, HE
COULDN'T COUNT HOW MANY SWORDS THEY HAD
TO KNOW HOW TO TAKE JERICHO.
HE WAS WAITING for something.
THE SAME GOD THAT APPEARED TO MOSES.
And before long,
the angel of the Lord stood before Joshua
Joshua
and introduced himself
and said, "Now, here is the strategy.
Here is the strategy." Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
IT'S NOT FOR THE S. HE SAID THE SWORDS
ALL THOSE WEAPONS WILL HAVE TO WAIT.
>> No swords, no shields, NO SPEARS, NO
STAVES. THEY WILL ALL HAVE TO WAIT. SO
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? HE SAID, "Here
is the strategy
because the weapons are not man-made.
WE'RE GOING TO BRING DOWN THESE WARS."
HE SAID, "YOU'RE GOING TO GO AROUND THE
WALLS ONE TIME EACH DAY FOR SEVEN DAYS.
ON THE SEVENTH DAY, YOU'RE GOING TO GO
AROUND SEVEN TIMES. AND EACH TIME YOU'RE
GOING AROUND, NOBODY TALKING. AT the
last time,
THE SEVENTH TIME OF THE SEVENTH DAY, HE
SAID, "YOU BLOW THE TRUMPETS AND YOU SHOUT."
SHOUT."
Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
HE SAID WHEN YOU SHOUT,
HE SAID THESE WALLS THAT YOU SEE BEFORE
YOU, THEY WILL FALL DOWN FLAT. THEY WILL
FALL DOWN FLAT. THEY WILL FALL DOWN
FLAT. THEY WILL FALL DOWN FLAT. OH,
I don't KNOW THE KIND OF WARS YOU ARE
FACING IN YOUR LIFE. MAYBE THE WARS OF
CANCER. MAYBE THE WARS OF FINANCIAL IMPOSSIBILITIES.
