Luke 4:18, 19a: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor: he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. I Thessalonians 2:13 John 14:12 11 Corinthians 3:18 Job 23:12 LIFE-STYLE OF GOD'S WORD YOU BECOME, CHRIST-LIKE TO THE DEGREE THE WORD LIVES IN YOU THE WORD PRODUCES RESULTS: ALL ELSE PRODUCES CONSEQUENCES Hebrews 10:36: For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God ye might receive the promise. Luke 4:18, 19 Isaiah 30:29 II Timothy 2:15 John 17:8 1 Corinthians 3:18: But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Mark 16:20: And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and firming the word with signs following, Hebrews 10:23: Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that pro- mised;)..

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. GOD'S WORD IMMUTABLE. TRADITION VERSUS TRUTH Nehemiah 8:8: So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. Acts 17:11: ‘These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the seriptures daily, whether those things were so. DARE TO BELIEVE — GO TO THE FOUNTAINHEAD OF TRUTH Circumstances do not alter the Word. But circumstances may alter situations: 1. Compare Matthew 10:5 with Acts 13:46, 47; 14:27. 2. Compare Luke 9:2, 3 with Luke 22:35, 36. 3. Compare Romans 8:38, 39 with Romans 11:13, 22. Hebrews 10:26-39 Acts 8:26.35 Matthew 15:19 Jeremiah 36:20-32 Psalm 119:162 Jeremiah 15:16 I Thessalonians 2:13 Matthew 10:5 Acts 13:46, 47 Acts 14:27 Luke 9:2, 3 Luke 22:35, 36 Romans 8:38, 39 Romans 11:13 Romans 11:22 Romans 1255BE WORD-CONDITIONED It is not true because you experienced it ... Tt is true because God’s Word saysitis.... True signs and wonders follow those that believe and rightly divide the Word of God. Truth needs no defense. Witness to the truth of God's Word. Develop the art of answering a question with a question. The operation of the manifestations is the greatest witness. Another great witness is to share what God has wrought in your life. Romans 12:3 (literal) : But I say to you because of the grace that was given me for all of you, control your thinking not to get out of bounds by feeding your mind (thinking, phronema] with respect only to the measure of faith God has given to every man.

They arc the informational and instructional manifestations — God, by revelation, making known to you His will and desire. ‘The revelation manifestations begin where The Word A. WORD OF KNOWLEDGE What It Is Not: 1. It is not human knowledge highly develope Human knowledge comes by way of the five Revelation knowledge comes from God by the spitit. 2, It is not psychology, psychiatry or psychosomatics or any other natural knowledge field. ‘These arc sciences any natural man can develop and know. 3. It is not the manifestation of knowledge. 4. It is not a knowledge of God or His Word. This comes by study, learning and application of self. 5. It is not guessing or imagination. 6. It is not currently popular usage of ESP; fortune telling, parapsychology, psychocybemnetics. 7, Itis not inspiration (enthusiastic Ree lieving).. eived by way of interpretation of tongues and prophecy or any other senses media. 8. It is not your analysis of a situation — you ascertain this by Word of Knowledge. What It Ts: ‘The manifestation of Word of Knowledge is your operation of the God-given ability whereby you may receive from God, by His revealing it to you, certain truths or facts concerning any aituation about which it is humanly impossible for you by your five senses to know anything. God, does not reveal all His knowledge to us, but a word, a part, just a bit, aecording to the believing we have to receive and God's desire to reveal. Deuteronomy 29:29, “The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.”B. WORD OF WISDOM What It Is Not: 1. It is not spiritual insight. 2. It is not wisdom acquired by the five senses. 3, It is not natural wisdom stemming from experience as the best teacher. 4, It is not wisdom of the world — not earthly or sensual or devilish. James 3:15. 5. Itis not wisdom of the Word of God. 6. I is not practical wisdom, but itis practical. 7. It is not your analysis of what to do about a situation.

It is to discern, detect, be made aware of their presence, and to determine their identity, whether they be the spirits of the devil (diabolos), the holy spirit, or spirit of man.

Ll. 12, 13, 14. 45. 16. B. KEYS TO WALKING IN THE SPIRIT To receive revelation you must first become meek. James 1:21, Stand fast on what you have received, God will not tell you a second time until you obey the first. Ephesians 6:11-13, Speaking in tongues daily is prerequisite to revelation, I Cotinthiane 4:16. Study The Word much. What you ean know by the five senses God expects you to know. Proverbs 29:18, II Timothy 2:15. Travel light. TI Timothy 2:4. Action precedes results. Believing without works is not believing. James 1:22; 2:26; Exodus 14:21. Wait until “green light” revelation. Philippians 4:6; Acts 16:17,18. a. Doodle. John 8:6-8. b. Pace the floor. I Kings 4:35. c. Pray, sing or just wait. Acts 4:24—31. Do not tell all you know. Receive the Word of Wisdom. It may be essential to put unbelievers out of the room. Matthew 9:23—25. Inspired action and inspired utterance may be essential. Acts 3:4,7. Do not be deceived by the five senses. I Kings 14:1—6; II Timothy 3:5; Acts 16:17,185 1 Samuel 16:7. Do not argue with God. Johah 1:1ff; 1 Samuel 15:23; Acts 9:13-15. Revelation once given may change (God changes the revelation after the circumstances change). Jonah 3:1—10; I Samuel 23:10—18. Revelation given twice is established. Genesis 41:32, Watch and be ready. Revelation may come at the most likely or unlikely places and times. 1 Corinthians 16:13. When you stumble, pick yourself up. Walking involves a learning process.

Two great spiritual forces in the world (1) Kingdom of God God's Spirit His good angels. Hebrews 1:7. Children of God — the men in whom the seed of Christ is born. (2) Kingdom of the Devil (Luke 11:14~20) ‘The Devil's spirit His fallen angels — spirits (daimdn and daimonion). Revelation 12:14 — especially verse 4. Children of the Devil — the men in whom the seed of the serpent is born. b, The First Heaven and Earth. AL the time of Genesis 1:1 when God created the heavens and the earth He created angels also called spirits, messengers, or staré. All theee created spirits were under three Heads: Lucifer, Gabriel, Michael. (1) Lucifer was the one assigned the greatest responsibility. He was next to God in authority and power. Isaiah 14:12 literally reads, “O Lucifer, 0 Morning Star.” Ezekiel 28:14. (2) Gabriel as God's created spirit ruler was and still is His special messenger carrier. Luke 1:19,26; Daniel 8:16; and Daniel 9:21. (3) Michael's major assignment is to stand for God’s children and to fight against anyone and anything that attacks them, Daniel 12:La; Daniel 10:13,21; Jude 9; Revelation 12:7. ¢. The beauty and fall of Lucifer. Ezekiel 26:17; Isaiah 14:12b, (1) Jesus became the Bright and Morning Star. Revelation 22:163 I Corinthians 15:27,20. (2) Genesis jevelation 12:9; Ezekiel 28:11—19; Isaiah 14:12—17 (verse 13 literally reads, “I will exalt my throne above the star, GOD ... GOD is Top Star.) (Notice the “I wills” in verse 13, spirits have a will.) Romans 8:22. (3) Genesis 1:2. In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth He did not create them tohu va bohu but they became without form and void, tohu va bohu, Isaiah 45:18; Jeremiah 4:23; Revelation 12:4. The “east down” are devil spirits. There is only one commander-in-chief of all devils and that one’s name is the Adversary. Revelation 12:7.2. Motives and Methods a. The Devil's primary motive was and is to be like the Most High as God, His co-equal and to sit on God's throne getting people to worship him in place of the true God. Isaiah 14:14, Genesis 3:55 IT Thessalonians 2:4,8,9; Luke Another motive is to hinder the purposes of God. For example, in the first heaven and carth he was second in command to God only. In the second heaven and carth he gained dominion of the world from Adam. His defeat of God in the dominion of the univeree would have been eternal had he destroyed the believers line. For example, during the flood, David's sons, and by killing the Christ. He has tried to defeat as many people as possible since from Genesis 3-15 until the resurrection of Christ, the Devil has had a chance of achieving eternal defeat of God. But with the resurrection of Christ, he eternally became a born loser. b. Before Christ’s coming, the Devil concealed himself and his snare. However, when Christ came he exposed that snare. Luke 10:17—24; I] Timothy 2:26; Colossians 2:15. Since then the Devil has again tried to re-conceal himself. For example, the dark ages and the age of enlightenment. (1) THE VALUE AND DELUSION OF THE COUNTERFEIT 1S INCREASED BY ITS NEARNESS TO THE LIKENESS OF THE GENUINE. Everything God has done the Devil tries to counterfeit. He is in no way original. He may be a good cause but not the true God’s best cause. (2) THE SECRET TO HIS SUCCESS IS THE SECRECY OF IIIS MOVES. The less people know about the Devil and his hosts operating within his snare, the more valuable the counterfeit is to him. (3) He always adapts his methods to the times and conditions (4) He is para: in nature, he uses enough good to satisfy hunger but any good his hosts utilize must be paid for in terms of bad.

The Host of the Enemy a. The Commander-in-Chiet (1) Satan — Aramaic Satana, Hebrew Satan, Greek Satanas — the accuser of mankind. Job 1:9. 12. As the great accuser of the true God’s believers Satan is the indirect cause of people’s problems by way of situations or circumstances or other people which he arranges and controls. He is the influence of these situations, « cumstances, and people. Luke 22:31; Aets 5:3: I Corinthians 7:5: II Cori thians 12:7. Did Satan do it? Not by direct involvement but indirectly through people, circumstances and situations, Note: II Corinthians 11:24~27; Luke 22:3 and John 12:6. (2) The Devil — Diabolos — the Adversary. I Peter 5:8; 1 John 3:10; John 8:44, As the Adversary the Devil deals directly with mankind, devil spirits and situations. He is the author or instigator of these situations which he uses to confront Christians indirectly as Satan. b. Devils or Devil Spirits Daimonion is devil or devil spirit. One or more may do the possessing. This word daimonion is the word that so many translate into English as demon. This in itself a trick of Satan to translate daimonion as demons because it sounds less evil, less harsh, than devil. Matthew 9:33; 17:18. Daimén does not mean the devil, the diabolos, but a ruling or controlling devil spirit like a five star general — not the commander-in-chief. But under Satan or the Devil come many ranks of spirits until one gets down to buck-privates spiritually speaking. Revelation 16:14; 18:2. Dainonizomai, Uhis word means possessed of a devil spirit or devil spirits, (a per- son may be possessed cither by une or by many). Matthew 4:24; Matthew 9:32,83. In possession it is devil spirits working under the devil or Satan's command. Gop ADVERSARY Holy Spirit Unholy Spirit Go 8 holy spirit unholy spirit 16Characteristics of devils — evil spirits daimon — the spiritual five-star generals. duimonion — lesser spivit powers under the direct command of daiman. (1) They all stem from the Devil (diabolos) who was Lucifer, fallen from heaven Isaiah 14:12,13; Ezekiel 28:12ff. (2) The daiman and daimonion are the Devil's hosts, who were 1/3 of the angels of heaven. Revelation 12:1ff. (3) Under one head (commander-in-chief, diabolos, the Devil), are all devils, daimén and daimonion. (4) Hell (gehenna) is prepared for the Devil and his angels. Matthew 25:41. (5) Degrees of wickedness and boldness among them, Matthew 12:45; 15:22. (6) If man willfully keeps the door open they may lake up their abode. I Timothy 2:26. (2) Devils do speak at times, Mark 5:9. (8) They are ucuslly incorporeal and invisible, but sometimes appear like vapor, or form consisting of ectoplasm. (9) They inhabit certain places which they prefer to others. Mark 5:13. (10) They tend to live in groups. Luke 8:2,30; 11:26. (11) They are the cause of mental and physical disease. Mark 5:15; Luke 13:11ffs Luke 11:14; Matthew 9:33; Matthew 12:22; Matthew 17:15s Mark 9:14. (12). They can pass in and out of men and even animals, Luke 11:24; Mark 5:13. (13) Satan as the Adversary accuses people before God. Revelation 12:10; Job 1:9; Zechariah 3:1. (14) Satan may enter divine presence at any time. Job 1:6. (15) Devils believe. James 2:19. (16) Devils know the Seriptares. Matthew 4:6; Mark 1:24; Matthew 8:29. \7¢. What Christ did and will do. (1). Christ made it one of His chief aims to overthrow this kingdom and set up God’s king: dom in its place. I John 3:8; Hebrews 2:14; Acts 10:38, (2). He cast out devils through His own name or by His Word. Mark 1:27; Luke 4:41. (3). He could delegate this power which was regarded as something new. Matthew 10:1; Luke 10:17. (4). He never treats the possessed as willful sinners which is in strong contrast to the works of the scribes and Pharisees, Luke 8:29; Mark 1:25, (5). Jesus Christ was recognized by devils, Luke 4:34,41. (6). At His second coming the members of this Kingdom are to be relegated to eternal fire (gehenna). Matthew 25:41. 4, The “Black Arts.” Leviticus 19:31; Deuteronomy 18:10ff. (2). Black arts deal with the Devil world and Satanic power. All black arts are PRETENDED arts, counterfeits. (2). Familiar spirits. Attend at the beck and call of a necromancer. (Used to impersonate the dead.) This wisdom is from below. James 3:15ff. (3). Wizards (male). Deal with the dead. Isaiah 8:19. Female is a witch. (4). Divination (read the future by the palm, crystal ball, tea cup, cards, liver). Acts 16:16. (9). Enchanter (uses magic). (6). Charmer (one who breaks up homes). (7).

INTRODUCTION TO THE IMPARTATION MANIFESTATIONS Faith (Believing), Workings of Miracles and Gifts of Healings are the action, power and imparta- tion manifestations of the holy spirit. These are the application (action) of the revelation manifes- tations producing the desired reaults. The absence of Believing, Miracles and Healings in the Church has caused people to doubt, and rightly so, the veracity and truth of God's Word. When it comes to these manifestations the spiritual darkness has been gross; however, come light has been and is dawning, but we need to go much further than has been gone thus far. Operation of these manifestations has been too much by the senses, and with far too much trial and error. ‘These manifestations are the power of God in you, the believer, which will defeat the works of the Devil. Acts 10:38. They are especially used in the lives of faithful ministers of The Word by confirming their words, Mark 16:17,18, and especially verse 20. Acts 15:32; Hebrews 2:3,4. They are for the building of believing in both the believers and unbelievers. John 5:36; 10:25; 14:12; Acts 8:6. 25A, BELIEVING What It Is Not: 1. [Lis not a revelation unifestation but an action, power, impartation manife: 2, Itis not “saving faith.” Romans 10:9,10. 3. It is not believing or action on the regular renewed mind believing according to the revealed Word, Matthew 8:10; Mark 2: : Luke 5:20; Romans 4:3; Acts 3:16. 4, It is not “the faith of Jesus Christ” by which we are justified, which is the “measure of faith.” Galatians 3:22~24 (Habakkuk 2:4; Deuteronomy 32:20); Galatians 2:16,20; Romans 3:22; 12:3. 5, Itisnot the common faith, ‘Titus 1:4. 6. It is not the household faith nor family faith, Galatians 6:10; Ephesians 2:19; 3:15. 7. [isnot the faith nur common salvation. Jude 3. 8. It isnot the fruit of faith nor fruit faith. Galatians 5:22; Ephesians 5:9 9, Itis not the good works of James. James 2:14,18. 10. It is not fruit of righteousness. Philippians 1:11: Hebrews 12:11; James 3:17, 18. 11, It isnot dead faith. James 2:26; Romans 12:3. 12. Itis not performing of mirac ‘The manifestation of Believing ceases when the result is manifested, What It Is: ‘The manifestation of Believing is your operation of the God-given ability whereby you may believe to bring to pass the impossible at your command according to what God has revealed to you by Word of Knowledge, Word of Wisdom and Discerning of Spirits. It also inspires believing in others. It is special renewed mind believing according to.the revelation of Word of Knowledge, Word of Wisdom, and Discerning of Spirits. It is for the deliverance of believers. It is for signs, miracles and wonders that cause the unbeliever to believe. It is the knowing aware- ness within you that at your command it will come to pass. ‘The manifestation of believing in operation is believing for miracles before they are manifested. (‘The manifestation of Miracles in operation works miracles.) 26BELIEVING Results follow in all instances where the manifestation of Believing is in action. L 10. u 12. 13. 14. 15. Operation of the manifestation of Believing is recorded in all of Hebrews 11. Note especially verses 32-35. Compare Mark 11:12~24 with I Corinthians 13:2, establishing the manifestation of Believing. Key: have absolute believing in God (Mark 11:22). ‘You say it (verse 23). Tt comes to pass (verse 23). Elijah. 1 Kings 17:14; 18:14ff. Compare James 5:17. Elisha. II Kings 6:24; 7:1ff. Joshua. Past tense before present reality. Joshua 1:3. Crossing the Jordan. Joshua 3:13. Capturing Jericho. Joshua 6:16. People could say, “The Lord hath given us (past tense) the city.” Abraham, Hebrews 11:8. Sara believed for a son before she saw him. Hebrews 11:11. ‘Ananias and Saul, Acts 9:12. Peter could sleep in prison. Acts 12:1—19; II Peter 1:14. Paul knew all on the boat would be safe. Acts 27:24. Jesus. Mark 9:23. Peter: “Such as have.” Acts 3:6. ‘The prayer of believing. James 5:14,15. 27B. WORKINGS OF MIRACLES What It Is Not: 1. It is not a miracle of nature as commonly implied. 2 Itisnot the so-called “miracle of science.” This is natural ability. 3, Itis not any ability devcloped by the application of the human mind. 4. Itis not the so-called “miracles” produced by devil spirit power. What It Is: ‘The manifestation of Workings of Miracles is your operation of the God-given ability whereby you may in the Name of Jesus Christ by the manifestation of Believing bring to pass miracles according to what God has revealed to you by Word of Knowledge, Word of Wisdom and Discerning of Spirits. Itis our taking the place of Jesus Christ here upon earth. Mark 5:30; Luke 8:46; 6:19. Its this manifestation that makes you more than a conqueror in your walk. It isa higher law than the natural law in application and operation. It is an instantancous, supernatural manifestation in the realm of the natural, not contrary to the natural law, hut above, higher than natural law. It is a spiritual law. Itis to glorify God. Matthew 9:8.. Jesus stilling the wind. Mark MIRACLES Elisha — the axe, II Kings 6:1—7. Prophet — man of God out of Judah. I Kings 13:1 . Elijah — stretched himself out upon child.

GIFTS OF HEALINGS What It Is Not: 1. It is not medicine or any of the other arts or practices commonly associated with healing. 2. It is not psychology or psychiatry. 3. Itis not Christian Science. 4, Itis not psychosomatics, psychocybernetics, parapsychology, scientology or hypnosis. 5, Itis not psychic surgery. 6, Itis not Satan or the Devil. What It Is: ‘The manifestation of Gifts of Healings is your operation of the God-given ability whereby you may in the Name of Jesus Christ hy the manifestation of Believing bring to pass healing according to what God has revealed to you by Word of Knowledge, Word of Wisdom and Discerning of Spirits. It is our taking the place of Jesus Christ here upon earth. Mark 5:30; Luke 8:46; 6:19. It is the manifestation used to prove God's ability and willingness to forgive sins. Mark 2:0—11 11 confirms Chiist’s resurrection. Acts 3:15,16; Hebrews 13:8. It confirms The Word as spoken. Mark 16:20. It builds believing for salvation. John 6:2. It blesses God's people and glorifies God's Name. Mark 2:12; Matthew 15:31. Ibis for all. 1 Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:16,17; 10:1. On this subject many people act as if God did not mean what He said in His Word, or He did not know enough to say or have said what He meant Some people talk about sickness and disease as if God were the author of them, Some suggest that sickness and discase are to keep us humble before God. There was no sickness or disease before sin was manifested; thercforc, sin came with the Devil and man’s acceptance of the Devil’s lic brought sickness and diseace into evidence. Those who talk about graciously, humbly and happily accepting your sickness and disease as of God, and suggest “suffering your way to heaven" are gratified only as long as itis you that is sick and not they. If it were God's will not to heal, He would have Lo revamp His entire Kingdom and redesign the human body, for the basic nature of the human body is always to heal itsclf if the cause is removed, and many times in spite of the cause (splinter, T.B.). Sickness is death in part or in whole. Healing is life in part or in whole as the need requires. 31GIFTS OF HEALINGS Seven Redemptive Names for God. Alll as operative today as at any time in history. 1. Jehovah jireh, “The Lord will provide.” (Genesis 22:13,14). 2, Jehovah-rapha, “The Lord that healeth.” (Exodus 15:26). B.

Matthew 8:16,17; 10:1:1 Peter 2:24. 4, Is salvation for all? Psalms 103:3; John 1:12; 5:40; 6:37. 5. Opening of Jesus’ ministry. Luke 4:18, Compare Isaiah 61:1, also Matthew 8:16,17; Isaiah 53:3,4. 6 Paul’s thorn in the flesh. 1 Corinthians 12:74f. 7. Man born blind, John 9:2ff. Compare Isaiah 35:5. 8 Gentiles and Samaritans, Matthew 10:5,15. 32According to Matthew 10:8 Jesus Christ called upon the Apostles and disciples to “heal the sick.” If we are to fulfill our mission we must have a proper concept of healing. We need to know what healing is and what it means. 1, To Heal means to restore to health. a, No cause to cast out. Must have had health at one time or it could not be restored. Implies they have lost health, been robbed of it. It implies progression of recovery. This may take time, Mark 16:18. Rules out cripple at temple gate. b. Jesus healed all? (Who did it?) Compare Luke 4:40; John 5:1ff; Matthew 28:20; Luke 9:2. ec. Check Luke 6:10; Matthew 12:13; Mark 3: 4, Paul had known sight before. No cause to remove — just the need to restore sight, Acts ate 2. To Heal is to cure. a. This is to restore by way of removing the cause, Sets free from the conditi trouble. Sets at liberty. Luke 4:18. b. Cause removed, symptoms disappear. c. Jesus did cures. Matthew 17:16,18; Mark 9:17ff; Mark 3:10.11; Luke 7:24; John 5:10. d. Your commission includes doing cures. Luke 9:1. Casting out devils is the doing of cures, Luke 13:32. 3. To Heal is to make sound or whole. a, Emphasis on the word “make.” Thisis your part. Acts 6:8, “Such as I have, give I,” Acts 3:6. Received perfect soundness, Acts 3:16, Man was made whole, Acts 4:10, b. Sound. I Timothy 1:7. c. To bring into existence that which was not; put a part in. 4. A doctor can do it — surely God can, Born with something lacking, 334, To Heal is to reconcile, John 18:10ff; Luke 22:50,51. a. Bring back together that which has been separated, severed, or moved apart. To make into perfect oneness. In Healing we ascertain the cauec never diagnose it. Doctors diagnose — we — neve ‘The nature of the Body is to heal, if and when the cause is removed. All the manifestations of the spirit must be exercised for the healing of one thing only. CONCLUSION: God has given us tools to do the job. The doing, therefore, is our task and respon- sibility and privilege, according to our believing by the power of God within us. Ephesians 3:20, “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” “... such as T have give I thee,...” Acts 3:6. “And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people;...” Acts 5:12. “... did great won- ders and miracles among the people,” Acts 6:8. “Multitude saw ... glorified God, which had given ‘such power unto men.” Matthew 9:8.
