All of us would like  to be available to God, 

and believe Him to do amazing things through ordinary people,  just like ourselves. 

But there could be a block that keeps GOD from flowing through us  in the way He desires. 

 

Understanding how to cooperate with GOD is half the battle and necessary before, we can

not only be available to GOD, but understand how fully available we can be.

When we receive His fullness for ourself we can then give away more to others. 

 

All of the below will block all forward progress.

 1.   Not forgiving others who have wounded or offended us 

2.  Misunderstanding GOD, and being upset with Him

3.  Introspecting about what did not happen that we thought should have

4. Being unwilling to forgive ourselves  for the past 

 

Remember there are two side to every story...

The one you know and the one you don't know.

Thanks be to GOD that He knows all sides and every angle !

 

When we  let go of all of the above, we will have the release of our faith 

in  GOD's ability to help people.

Relationship, prayer, and preparation is key.

Studying  and knowing the WORD of GOD so that God has something to use

plays a part in GOD using our effectiveness.

As we are allowing GOD to minister through us... 

we should remind ourselves...not to focus the situation or on anyone but GOD Himself.

The focus of the  person that we are praying for should be on GOD alone. 

Not matter how bleak the circumstances keep your faith on GOD

Don't even look to see if you have enough faith for GOD to use you.

It is GOD that will move that mountain of obstacles...

so focus on the mountain mover ...and the mountain will move.

Don't let the enemy get you focused on the 
what if's...

 

 

When we receive His fullness (which starts with the baptism of the Holy Spirit) 

 which is the power to enable us to become one with how God thinks

 we can then know how to offer ourselves to GOD  and be available to others.

 

Another  Key is allowing GOD to do through us what He is instructing us to obey,

no more or no less. 

So many times we are wanting to do something for GOD 

instead of cooperating with GOD.

.

What GOD would do through you can encompass many things. 

It can be GOD healing, doing creative miracles, restoring, ministering, answering prayer, 

and encouraging others through our willingness to be available 

as we learn more and more to cooperate with Him. 

 

Participating with  GOD to do the miraculous

may require us starting with small steps as GOD increases our boundaries.

Or... GOD may  simply show up in ways we would never imagine.

God says, it is His goodness that leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4 KJV),

which means GOD may want to heal someone before He helps them recognize

a particular sin in their life so they can repent.

But when GOD heals...

the sin that gave access to the disease leaves as well. 

Jesus said …"Which is easier to say...pick up your bed and walk or your sins are forgiven."

One involves the other.

 

That is why we need to yield to GOD so He can show us why we had the disease in the first place.

Not understanding the why behind the what can leave open a door.

If we fall back into the same sin.. .the disease may have the ability to come back again. 

 

Faith is required for either one...picking up your bed which you can't really do if you can't walk.

or being healed first so you can pick up your bed...both produce the same end result. 

GOD is Amazing!!!

 

God says I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy (Romans 9:15 KJV)

[often it is GOD's mercy  that draws us even closer to Himself...]

His mercy is one of those many ways He teaches us and increases our faith

as He gives us time to figure it out. 

GOD is always willing to  encourage us.  His mercies are new every morning.

Lamentations 3:22-25 KJV

 

God knows how to locate us  in our understanding and 

will only ask us to do what He has prepared us for in advance.

GOD works with our faith, so believe Him to do amazing things through ordinary people

just like yourself. 

 

More about Matthew 9:5 KJV 

“Which is easier to say, your sins are forgiven or pick up your bed and walk?"

 

 

When God forgives the sin the enemy used to produce a disease,

the result are the person will be healed. 

The sin is oftentimes holding the disease in place.

As we learn to hear God direct us and  believe Him for ourselves to be healed as well, 

God will work through us more and more.

 He will prepare us to become vessels prepared for His heart to be revealed to others.

 

God can choose to  heal anyone at any time.

God is looking at our heart attitude toward Him, toward others, and even how we see ourselves. 

When we sin, it is in all three of these areas.

And when we repent, it should also repent for  all three of these as well. 

 

Disease and sin go hand in hand. They are contingent on legal rights.

We allow the enemy access through our own choices or through

generational iniquity in our family tree. 

 

Disease has to legally go and leave our body when the sin that produced it goes. 

Repenting is the first step that sets in motion the restoration process.

But GOD also says...whatever is not of Faith is sin.

Faith is a person....whatever is not of GOD is sin.

 

God will use an open door to the enemy we have allowed that we do not yet know how to close

to draw us to a place of being more dependent on Him...

When the working out of the areas in our life GOD wants us to overcome

are complete....it is then that the disease often leaves and not before.

GOD is working to enable us to overcome all the works of evil 

and recognize them so we will not be held captive anymore. 

 

We may be trying to remove disease for sin that we have repented,

but still holding onto guilt...which blocks our faith..

So we let go of the sin that produced the disease

and picked up the sin of  doubt and unbelief...which is sin...and a block to being healed.

 

It is when the sin  is overcome and is no longer present in a particular area of someone's

life, the enemy loses his authority to keep the disease in place.

 

GOD will use the choices we make to mature us, teach us and chasten us,

but Jesus died so we could be free from disease.

It is GOD's will  that we are whole, well, and delivered

from all sickness, mental issues, and emotional distress. 

 

I truly believe that the majority of true born again believer don't understand sin.

We understand fornication, stealing, slander, lies, coveting, envy and jealousy,

murder (murder with the tongue), accusation and the like....that are clearly recognized as sin.

 

But what about your thoughts...?

We keep them private,  but through thought our body responds.

We can be thinking something that doesn't line up with the word of GOD and how GOD thinks,

and be in full blown sin....to the point,  it is just as bad as if we literally murdered someone. 

You may think that the above stament is hard or harsh ….

but in reality sin is sin to GOD...one is not worse than the other.

 

And we say we believe GOD but speak the opposite...that is sin.

We are double-minded and cooperating with a lying spirit. 

We think we are believing,  but actually saying quite the opposite...

 

and we deceive ourselves by saying...I am just waiting on God to heal me, 

when God is waiting on us to cooperate with Him.

 

Hold every thought captive....

God didn't say … if you can.

He said to do it ….it is a commandment. 

 

Healing is never the issue...

It was taken care of on the cross...past tense.

By His strips you were healed....

It's agreeing with God so the healing can manifest...

We shouldn't pray...Oh God  heal me...

But rather...God, show me why I am not healed. 

 

We should apply knowledge and truth by being open, honest with GOD and dependent on Him.

This is when we "really" become a doer of the Word (James 1:22-25 KJV) 

and  allow the life of Jesus to manifest through our own body...

the resurrection life flowing in...makes the disease flow out...

It simply can not remain in a place of God's life in us.

 

Our willingness to submit to GOD at this level  and then obey Him 

is when we are no longer giving place to the enemy (Ephesians 4:27 KJV)

Satan's kingdom can no longer continue to produce the effects of our agreement with sin. 

A lot of the time, it was our agreement with how the enemy thinks 

through temptation we believed

 that allowed him access to us in the first place. 

 

After the sin and the disease are gone, the scripture teaches us, 

to go and sin no more (especially in that particular

area we were delivered and healed.) But why?

So that the disease does not come back.

 

 

Many people say they lost their healing. Many times, the door of access was never shut by

repentance and the enemy had the legal right to reproduce the disease. 

The person didn't completely go in the opposite direction away from the door point.

The person was healed by faith or by repenting for the sin, 

but did not turn away from the sin,

and the sin begins to replicate the disease all over a gain. 

 

This ability to not commit sin in the same area requires a relationship with our GOD as FATHER

in a way that we receive His strength to not go back

to those areas we know we have been delivered from. 

 

The key in overcoming temptation and to not sin again, is found in the words of David.

All throughout the Psalms, David declared and prayed to GOD, not to just give Him Strength,

but He recognized GOD was His strength.

 

The heart cry of David,  written for us to read,  are reflected in His prayers to GOD 

throughout the book of Psalms.

David did not pray to GOD to give him strength, 

instead he acknowledged, GOD You are my strength.

David’s strength was GOD doing through David what David could not do apart from Him.

David was dependent on GOD, 

just like Jesus was totally  dependent of His FATHER for everything He did. 

 

How much more should we be dependent on GOD today for everything

we need for ourselves and for the needs of others.

 

Before Jesus departed after His resurrection, He said, “greater things we would do”

because I  go to the FATHER." (John 14:12 KJV)

The greater things we would do is only the continuation of Jesus still doing them...through you.

Jesus only had 3 1/2 years of miracles...we have 7 times that or more...  

which is a greater amount of time than Jesus had. 

The "you will do" is also the body of Christ together....you and me ...so when the work of 

the body of Christ is combined it will be greater and more of it than 3 1/2 years of work.

Jesus filled a library...and we are commanded to  fill libraries upon libraries as a testimony

to the Father of what the Son made available.

​

Jesus went to the FATHER and said the FATHER would send another Comforter.

Everything Jesus did was through the power of the Holy Spirit. (John 14:16 KJV)

 Everything Jesus would do through you is through the Holy Spirit too.

 

When Jesus left the disciples, 

He ask the Father to send the Holy Spirit in power 

to those who are and would be  His servants and disciples,

so that we could continue to do the work that Jesus had already begun.

 

Jesus exhorted the disciples and us, throughout the Bible,  to overcome fear. (Isaiah 41:10 ESV)

 

There is no fear in love.  Perfect love cast out fear. (1 John 4:18-19 ESV)

So often we will not step out when GOD wants to heal through us because of fear.

But the Bible teaches we are to speak the Word in faith

 by believing God to show up on behalf of the person 

GOD would have us pray to be healed.

 

GOD says we are to command the enemy, in the name of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit,

to release the one that has been held captive at the will of the enemy. (2 Timothy 2:26 KJV)

When we command the enemy, in the name of Jesus, 

 it is what GOD can use to perform and obtain results.

GOD says in HIs Word,

"Command ye me." (Isaiah 45:11 KJV)

Jesus is the Word. 

By commanding the Word, we are bringing to attention the works of the enemy 

and asking GOD to intervene. 

Sometimes being able to overcome can be as" simple” as just choosing to overcome

 (in God's strength and His power)

and by setting our will to not be moved by whatever the temptation is that presents itself.

We can simply refuse to change our minds. 

When we do this the battle is over and the enemy is defeated. 

 

The battle is really the LORD's  (2 Chronicles 20:15 KJV) and Jesus has already defeated

 all the work of our enemy.

Our part is to believe what the Bible says, and act on it through repentance.  

 

We are to speak and move in a way that the Holy Sprit has the flexibility to flow through us.

GOD would have you be a powerful influence in the earth.

So that it is God moving and God healing thru you!

 

I am reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 10: 7:

“…and as you go, preach saying the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers (we may not have many people who have leprosy today,

but lepers are also those that have been overcome by sin, leprosy represent a leavened state), 

raise the dead, cast out devils.

Freely ye have received, so freely give.” 

 

It is amazing that God would allow us to cooperate with Him even in our leavened state

to overcome evil with good. But it is His goodness, not our own that we must acknowledge.

God says, "No one is good but God." (Mark 10:18 KJV)

 

When I think about the lepers, they were declared to be unclean. 

Leprosy is the sin or rebellion. When we disobey God it can produce feelings of guilt

that make us feel unclean.

Do you know how many people today have an unclean spirit?

Guilt and shame is coming out of  the result of unforgiveness and tied to  a spirit of accusation.

Sexual sins outside of GOD’s boundaries produce unclean spirits as well.

All sexual sin is a spirit of rebellion to God's Word. 

 

As a whole, most people are not repenting for sins participated with,

and they are not allowing the blood of Jesus to cleanse them 

from all filthiness of flesh and spirit (2 Corinthians 7:1KJV).

 

God is commissioning us as disciples to cleanse those who believe and call upon His name

so they are made whole. It is the goodness of God that brings us to repentance and will

bring others to a place of gratitude and a desire to want to know the One who healed them.

Out of our gratitude for what Jesus has done, our heart reaches out to Him

to love,  obey,  and want to be pleasing to Him forever.

 

 

We are to reach out and offer the world hope 

with the truth that has been taught us by the Holy Spirt of GOD.

And   we are to teach others how to apply God's Word  to their life as well.

GOD's Word is truth. (John 14:6 KJV)

 

Those taught of the Lord can truly say,

“I am changed”, I am not the same person I was.”

I have Christ living in me which is my hope of His  glory to come, now and forever.

 

What an awesome opportunity each and every one of us have to cooperate with GOD.

It begins by our realizing it is not anything we are capable of doing,

but He can do all things through us. 

 

The “Doctrines of Christ (Hebrews 6:1) show us the standard we are  to move in. 

 We should be  going  on to completeness.

The doctrines of Christ say that we should not lay again the foundation

 (meaning be taught again the basic principles of the faith)

of repentance from dead works, faith toward GOD,  the doctrines of baptisms, 

and the laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead and eternal judgement. 

 

According to the Bible, these basic principles of the faith go beyond healing, 

taking healing to restoration and beyond. This is available to those that belong to Christ.

Healings and miracles will manifest as we operate in a greater level of surrender and 

yieldedness  to God,   and then believing God would to do the "works of GOD"  through us.

​

I am very thankful for  the Word of God 

God will be faithful to continue to grow us up in Him.

Whatever stage we are in , we know God is continuing to add and multiply our understanding.

The foundation of His Word allows GOD 

to continue to build on the understanding we do have. 

 

We can be grateful to God for the many  opportunities He brings to us and 

 for how GOD teaches us more and more about Himself.

 

When you participate with GOD in your life, and you share from your heart, 

you are giving and partaking freely in God. We need to experience GOD in each other. 

 We have a greater  level of knowing Him only when  we are yielded and obedient

to the will of the FATHER in all things.

 

The more obedient we become,

the more we will hear Him speak to us and we will be amazed at the results.
