John 14:6-17 TPT 6 Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth,[a] and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with me. To know me is to know my Father too.7 And from now on you will realize that you have seen him and experienced him.”8 Philip spoke up, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be all that we need!”9 Jesus replied, “Philip, I’ve been with you all this time and you still don’t know who I am? How could you ask me to show you the Father, for anyone who has looked at me has seen the Father. 10 Don’t you believe that the Father is living in me and that I am living in the Father? Even my words are not my own but come from my Father, for he lives in me and performs his miracles of power through me. 11 Believe that I live as one with my Father and that my Father lives as one with me—or at least, believe because of the mighty miracles I have done.12 “I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father! 13 For I will do whatever you ask me to do when you ask me in my name. And that is how the Son will show what the Father is really like and bring glory to him. 14 Ask me anything in my name, and I will do it for you!” 15 “Loving me empowers you to obey my commands. 16–17 And I will ask the Father and he will give you another Savior, the Holy Spirit of Truth, who will be to you a friend just like me—and he will never leave you. The world won’t receive him because they can’t see him or know him. But you will know him intimately, because he will make his home in you and will live inside you.

“Seek God’s face, not His hand”. “Signs and wonders should follow you. You shouldn’t follow them.” “Seek The Fruit of The Spirit more than The Gifts of The Spirit”. 

These are all things I have heard either directly to me or pertaining to me and those like me. People whose default setting is signs wonders and miracles! Who can not be satisfied with normal Christianity when what they see in the words and life of Jesus are not what they are seeing in their own lives! 

“I believe revival will be sparked and marked by healing, but Not just God supernaturally healing everyone.

Believers growing in and learning to receive their healing by the finished work of Jesus and in turn flowing in the power that is available to them to from the finished work to heal others. This will spark revival and lead to true awakening. 

When I say healing in this sense I’m talking about healing, deliverance, miracles, etc... The signs that Jesus said would follow believers who... well believed. “

  • The power of God and the Love of God are not separate, but synonymous.  In fact, they are expression of the same thing... the character and nature of God. The power of God was and is used to demonstrate the Love of God. 
  • The Gifts of The Spirit and The Fruit of The Spirit are not mutually exclusive... They are manifestations of the same Spirit! 
  • The most important part of any miracle, more important than the miracle itself, is the revelation of God’s love and glory that comes through the miracle.
  • Great intimacy should lead to great power! If power is not resulting from intimacy its is because there is a lack of expectation! 

    • Jesus Healed Them All! 

    • Matthew 14:35-36 TPT 35 the people living there quickly recognized who he was. They were quick to spread the news throughout the surrounding region that Jesus had come to them. 36 So they brought him all their sick, begging him to let them touch the fringe of his robe. And everyone who touched it was instantly healed!
    • Mark 6:56 TPT 56 Wherever he went, in the countryside, villages, or towns, they placed the sick on mats in the streets or in public places and begged him, saying, “Just let us touch the tassel of your prayer shawl!” And all who touched him were instantly healed!
    • Luke 6:19 TPT 19 The entire crowd eagerly tried to come near Jesus so they could touch him and be healed, because a tangible supernatural power emanated from him, healing all who came close to him.

      • Jesus was motivated by love! 

      • Matthew 9:35-36 TPT 35 Jesus walked throughout the region with the joyful message of God’s kingdom realm. He taught in their meeting houses, and wherever he went he demonstrated God’s power by healing every kind of disease and illness. 36 When he saw the vast crowds of people, Jesus’ heart was deeply moved with compassion, because they seemed weary and helpless, like wandering sheep without a shepherd.
      • Matthew 14:14 TPT 14 So when Jesus landed he had a huge crowd waiting for him. Seeing so many people, his heart was deeply moved with compassion toward them, so he healed all the sick who were in the crowd.
      • The great motivation behind the miracles of Jesus was his love and compassion. God’s love was what motivated Jesus to walk in God’s power. He healed the sick because he had compassion on them. He multiplied the fish and loaves because he had compassion on people. That was the main point of his miracles!
        • Perspective: a particular attitude toward or way of regarding/seeing something. Our point of view. 
        • Comes from a Latin root meaning “look through” or “perceive”. An integrated set of attitudes of beliefs. Belief system. 
        • You will never experience life on a higher level than your belief system. 
        • Perspective determines reality. 
        • If we have a “natural” perspective we will live in a “natural” reality which will produce a natural result. 
        • If we desire a supernatural result we need a supernatural perspective. In other words, we must view things from God’s perspective to experience His reality! 
        • God has given us an appetite for the supernatural. We must feed that appetite. We must allow that hunger to take us to the word so that the word can change our perspective which will intern change our reality. 
        • Reality is determined by the lens you look through. 

          • Jesus is the will of god expressed on the earth! Then and now! 

            • Faith begins where the will of God is known. There is NO FAITH without knowing His will. 
            • Matthew 6:9-10 Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.10 Your kingdom come.Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
            • TPT ‘Our Father, dwelling in the heavenly realms, may the glory of your name be the center on which our lives turn. 10 Manifest your kingdom realm, and cause your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is fulfilled in heaven.
            • God’s will is not that big of a mystery. “On earth as it is in heaven”!
            • Whatever is free to operate in heaven: joy, peace, wisdom, health, wholeness, and all the promises we find in the word; should be free to operate here on earth. 
            • Whatever is not free to operate in heaven: sickness, disease, spiritual bondage, sin; should not be free to operate here. 
            • God’s will is for The atmosphere of heaven to invade and change the atmosphere of every situation in my life and those I come into contact with. 
            • John 8:38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
            • Jesus is the revelation of God’s will. He showed us what Heaven looks like on earth. 
              • John 14:9 He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
              • Col 1:15 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
              • Hebrews 1:1-3 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
              • Jesus’ purpose was to do/demonstrate/proclaim the will of God:
                • Acts 10:38  how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
                • TPT “Jesus of Nazareth was anointed by God with the Holy Spirit and with great power. He did wonderful things for others and divinely healed all who were under the tyranny of the devil, for God had anointed him.
                • 1 John 3:8 “…For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” TPT “…The reason the Son of God was revealed was to undo and destroy the works of the devil.”
                • If Jesus destroyed sickness, oppression, lack, sin then we have to conclude that these things are not the will of God. 
                • Matthew 16:19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.”
                • TPT 19 I will give you the keys of heaven’s kingdom realm to forbid on earth that which is forbidden in heaven, and to release on earth that which is released in heaven.”
                • By healing the sick, freeing the oppressed, providing for those in need, etc… Jesus was PROVING the will of God. He was using the POWER of God by the Spirit of God to demonstrate and manifest the WILL of God! 
                • Miracles prove the will of God. Miracles bring the atmosphere of Heaven to earth.
