Sid: I’ve been talking about the healing scriptures I call it the Healing Scriptures Experience Package. This was put together for me personally and then it was so beneficial I decided I wanted you to take advantage, and so is what I’m teaching on. I am teaching on after the past 40 years what where the 10 best ways I have heard to help people manifest their healing or pray for other people.
So I’m at point number 3 now “Practicing the Presence of God.” You have to talk about Brother Lawrence. Did you ever read that little booklet of his? He was a monk; you know what his job was at the monastery? Washing dishes. Do you know he was so joyful he loved cleaning and washing dishes, or doing anything. He was so fascinated with the presence of God. Guess what he was so fascinated that God was fascinated with him, and God was fascinated with him that God’s presence was all over him. People of high authority would come from the 4 corners of the area that he lived in just to be in his presence because… You know what? He didn’t have anything that you can’t have as a believer in the Messiah; that I can’t have as a believer in the Messiah.
Psalm 16:8 tells us about David, King David, he had this. Listen to what David wrote I mean I could ponder on this this whole session, then I may not get through all 10 points. It’s Psalm 16:8 in the Amplified and this is what David said I believe its instructions for us “I have set the Lord continually before me.” Now he didn’t say the Lord is continually before me, he said “I have set the Lord.” I can imagine he’s almost… “God I can’t see You but I am acknowledging You are right here at my side. I have set the Lord, not when I think about it, I have set the Lord continually before me.” You get it? Be so conscious of God that He is continually before me but when David said “I’ve set Him there” that means “I’m aware that He is continually before me. Because He is at my right hand (this is David speaking), I shall not be moved,” and that makes sense; if God is for you who can be against you.
Now in this presence of God in practicing the presence of God is a word called fellowship. I found this word in a very strange place. In the Hebrew in Isaiah 53:5, you’re familiar with it “By His stripes we are healed.” If you look up the word stripes in the Hebrew, do you know what one of the meanings of the word stripes is? Fellowship, “By His fellowship we are healed.”
You see how important… when you’re in His presence all things are possible. Your objective is to be more cognoscente that you are continuously in His presence. He is continuously at your right you are never alone “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Are you beginning to get it? The light bulb going on?
Here’s your job description, I’m talking to myself every time I talk to you. You know what I’m doing? I got one finger pointing at you, one finger pointing at God, and 3 fingers pointing at myself when I do this. Here’s our job description, I want you to get so close to God that you will be enveloped in His glory and come to the point of coming to your senses. There is nothing this world offers that’ll trump being in God’s presence. Basking in His glory there’s no sporting event, no sexual event, no power event, nothing this world has to offer compared to being literally a cylinder of God’s light. That’s my goal I want that to be your goal also.
The 4th key I want you to meditate on the covenant promises of God. These are covenant promises this is God standing behind the word. Joshua 1:8 the Amplified says “This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth.” Very important let it not… let not the opposite come out of your mouth. This law, the word law in the Hebrew has a little better meaning than the word law in the English, it’s instructions. “Let this book of instructions not depart out of your mouth but you shall meditate on it day and night that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and then you shall have good success.” The Hebrew word meditate is different than what most people think. The word meditate in Hebrew is mumble or mutter God’s word out loud. That’s why I love the Healing Scriptures Book. That’s what you’re doing you’re personalizing it, this is the best way I know to meditate, your personalizing it, you’re saying it out loud, you’re saying the best translation from the viewpoint of getting your healing.
So Romans 10:17 says “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” Faith comes from hearing and hearing, that’s why we have this CD here so you can hear and hear in the same order, the same translation, the same personalization with that beautiful anointed violin behind you.
You believe by meditating before you pray. You see you don’t get something by meditating you meditate till you believe it. It’s sort of like… well 2nd… not like it is, 2nd Corinthians chapter 4 verse 13 says “I believed (I believed first) therefore (Why therefore? It’s therefore because I believed) I believed therefore I spoke.” It’s like having an apple and cutting the apple in half. Here’s the 2 halves of the apple in the Amplified Mark 11:23 “Whoever says to this mountain ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will take place it will done for him.” So what are the 2 halves of the apple? One to say it, saying it isn’t enough that’s the first step. Meditating isn’t enough that’s the first step. But by saying or meditating you believe in your heart. So you first meditate to believe and then you speak the prayer. Now you have the 2 halves of the apple together, Mark 11:23 I just read.
Now have you ever heard this because it’s the truth? If you tell a lie long enough the mind is so… they used to think the mind didn’t change, they’re wrong. The latest scientific data disproves this, our mind can change. You see what you do is you form neural passageways in your mind. So if you believe a lie as a child and say it long enough you believe that’s you. Let’s suppose someone says “Oh you’re very,” you’re a male, “Oh you’re very femin,” you’re a feminit. Well you believe that lie, you believe it long enough and say it long enough a neural passageway, your brain changes. You have a neural passageway that says you’re a homosexual. Well what they’ve found is you can build new neural passageways the same way you did the first time with the lie, you take the truth. Now what is the highest truth in the world? The word of God “God You’re so brilliant.” You see what you’re doing, you’re farming new neural passageways where you believe with all of your heart, but the first step is to meditate to form those new neural passageways.
The book of Hebrews talks about the word of God. Hebrews 4:12 “The word of God is living.” Do you know the word of God is alive?
I went to a place called the CIA, you’ve all heard of the CIA, Culinary Institute of America (laughing). I knew I’d get you, but I really went there and there really is a place where they teach you to be chefs etcetera a regular college. I heard something, and I guess it’s because I don’t cook much. I heard something I never knew before. You know what leaven or yeast is and the Bible has a lot to say about leaven or yeast. I didn’t know this but yeast is alive, it’s a living organism. That’s why Jesus said His word is like leaven, or His word is like yeast. It’s alive and it’ll permeate the entire loaf and in the natural that’s what’s happened, and in the supernatural that’s what’s happening to you. It’s permeating your whole body it’s alive. The word of God is living – Hebrews 4:12.
Luke 13 verse 20 and 21 Jesus said “To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven or yeast which a woman took and hid in 3 measures a meal till it was all leavened.”
Let me give you the best example I know of this. As you know I come from an Orthodox Jewish background. The rabbis are very unhappy when I say both my mother and my father were Jewish, I say were because they are in heaven right now. So my mother to protect me after I became an outspoken believer in Jesus, and had a bad relationship with my dad over that for obvious reasons. I would go around when I would speak for groups and I would say “Pray for father I believe he’s going to be a believer.” I don’t know how it happened but then I started saying “My father will be a believer.” I so believed that one day I said it my mother before he was a believer. I said “Dad is going to be a believer.” My mother said “No don’t say that!” She was saying that to protect me she was good Jewish mother she knew he’d never be a believer, but it was too late I already had that engrained in my head I had a neural passageway and in my heart. I knew he would be a believer and guess what? On his deathbed he said with his own mouth “I make Jesus my Messiah and Lord.” He would have never said that if that leaven hadn’t go the word of God, the living word, the yeast hadn’t gone through every fiber of my being. You could not talk me out of the fact that my father was going to be a believer. You can’t talk me out of the fact that every man is a liar and God’s word is true.
I’m telling you people are being healed right now there are blockages in your breathing, you’re being healed now. Backs are being healed, spines, necks. I’m telling you almost every pain you have in your body, every pain you have in your body anything you need it’s yours right now.
Didn’t I tell you this was going to be the best shoot ever (laughing)?
Okay the 5th, oi vey I don’t know how I’m going to do this I’ve got 10 of them for you and I could have even kept going. Would you like to know the secret to Billy Graham’s success? I mean you go anywhere in the world and you know you say evangelist they say Billy Graham. Well I found the secret because I live in Charlotte, North Carolina and I went to the Billy Graham Museum and I saw the secret there. The secret, and let me… in his own words. Billy said I quote “I had some young theologian friends who were expressing their doubts about the authority of the Bible. I began wondering if the Bible could be trusted completely. I began to study the subject intensely. I walked out in the moonlight, my heart heavy I was so burdened I dropped to my knees and opened my Bible on a tree stump. If the issue were not settled soon I knew I could not go on. ‘This is Billy Graham speaking Oh God’ I prayed, ‘there are many things in this book I do not understand but God I’m going to accept this book as your word by faith. I’m going to allow my faith to go beyond my intellect and believe that this is your inspired word.’ From that moment on I have never doubted God’s word. When I quote the Bible I believer I’m quoting the very word of God and there’s an extra power in it.” Another man said it this way “God said it, I believe it, that settles it.”
You know what when Billy Graham pulled that switch, that’s what he did, he said “I’m going to believe God’s word no matter… I remember the day I pulled that switch. Brand new believer, I was just rescued from the New Age, I just was rescued by an encounter with Jesus, I went walking in the woods one in a park and the church had a bizarre, a book bizarre. They had a bunch of books piled up and so I went to the book table and thought “Maybe I’ll find something good.” I pull a book from the very bottom “100 Reasons Why Jesus is Not the Messiah.” It was too late I already knew He was the Messiah I just tossed it.
When Billy Graham pulled that switch let every man be a liar but God’s word is true. I want you to pull that switch right now. Let every man be a liar but God’s word is true.
