[Applause] Emmanuel Thank you, we were shocked when we saw this morning many people around the church and they came to me to tell me that there were many people around the church. And ailments I said, Oh, this is not a healing service, it is a normal service. But from what we have seen today, I believe we cannot allow these people to leave. But next time, next time, I believe that God will allow us to let them go if it is God's will. It is God who decides how things are done, and when you want to do them in a certain way and He tells you not to do it that way, if you do it now while praying for them, the grace is sufficient for you to also receive. Put your request in the anointing while praying for them. Put it when I say in the name of Jesus, you say Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus. So while I pray for them, start praying for yourself, and when the person is healed, you are also healed. When the person is set free, you are set free. [Applause] Hallelujah, let me accompany you in this because we are about to enter another section. It would be difficult for me to start with healing and praying for people and take you with me without having accompanied you there. Accompanying you means teaching you, preparing you. You need an appropriate connection to understand what we are about to do because

Another sphere, another sphere where you will see that things happen but you don't know how they happened. Another sphere where physical hands will not be necessary to do things. You will see that this happens, and our strength, our tension are not needed. Another sphere where our voice, our tongue are not necessary. When you want to move this, you have to use your hand, but in this case, you don't need to use your hand to take it, and it will move. That's why it's so difficult for us to understand how this can happen. God does not give us what we know how to do. He always gives us what we do not know how to do so that he can teach us. Tell me if I am talking to you. God does not give us what we know how to do. Look at this, so that God tells you to lift it. You know how to lift it. What God normally does is ask you to lift that pillar. Look at that pillar. You can lift it. He always gives us what we do not know how to do, what we cannot do by ourselves because he wants to teach us. And in the process of teaching us, he trains us in his own way, he reforms us in his own way. Are you with me? He not only simply heals what doctors can treat. If you are sick, you go to the doctor and he treats you. That's why I say if you cannot believe in God

You start to pray, Lord, I don't want to use medication anymore, Lord, I don't want to use medication anymore, never again. Heal me, heal me. At the end of the day, this is what you are praying for. And after praying for yourself, you seek out the evangelists. Please, I want to know if I should keep taking my medication. I want to know if I still need to use my pills. I need to see the man of God, the prophet. These are my pills. I don't know what to do with them. If you can't believe in God with your pills and your medications, you can't believe in Him without your pills and medications because God has nothing against your pills. He has nothing against them. It's nature, plants. The soap you are using, in other words, you have a medicated soap, or whatever you want to call it, and you have to use it to bathe. So, it's not just about the pills. If you say the pills are bad, then the soap you use is also bad. The cream you use all over your body is bad. They may just be medicinal plants from the doctor or the pharmacy. So, if that medication is bad, your cream, your soap that you use every day is also bad. I have been giving you some clues on how to know if you are free or if God doesn't want you to use your pills anymore.

Medicines, you only find that you live, sleep, and on the second day, you say, I forgot my medicines completely because the signs are gone, that is God, that is God. Yes, you have to forget them because those signs are gone. And when those signs are gone, signs like headaches, inability to sleep, inability to eat, all those types of signs, you can no longer see them. Those were the signs that reminded you of your medicines, your pills. First day, second day, you realize and say, Dear, for the past two days, I haven't been taking my pills because those signs are gone, that is God. But when you keep remembering your medicines, you have been praying, but you remember your medicines, keep remembering them, something is wrong. Look at yourself while you're sitting there, you've been sitting for hours. Here this morning, some can't even try to be at home for 5 hours without taking their pills, but here they forgot their pills because they can't feel any signs, that is God, that is God. So let's quickly, before we move on to today's healing and deliverance section, take a brief Bible text from the book of John, chapter 1, verse 33, I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he.'

About us, but the miracle doesn't stay. It doesn't happen, but it doesn't seem to be permanent. We keep receiving blessings, but we can't maintain the blessing. We keep receiving liberation, but after a while, you are possessed again. Jesus wants to be Himself in us; He wants to be the same in us. Are you with me? He wants to be Himself in us. Unfortunately, we don't allow it. He cannot remain permanent. When He is afflicted, He cannot stay. When He is afflicted, He can't stay. He leaves because of our pride, and we express our pride in different ways. For those of you who have received healing, come out. When you were waiting for your healing, you were crying, you were praying, and immediately when you are healed, you don't want to come out. You don't want to stand in front of the camera again. But when you were sick, you wanted to be in front of the camera. We express our pride in different ways. So you can see some of the reasons why we can't maintain it. The Holy Spirit descends and remains in him, but you receive and it doesn't stay. Before going out there, we have many things to do. If you hold a grudge against your brother, you have already afflicted the Holy Spirit. After healing, you still hold a grudge against your brother, and the Bible says forgive us as we forgive. It shouldn't

You open your Bible and say, Lord Jesus, I'm quoting the Bible, but you are wasting your time because there is no life in what you are talking about. There is a book, and there is life. They come together. Writing is literature, but when it is inspired by the Holy Spirit, it becomes the Bible. It is when it is inspired by the Holy Spirit that it has authority, but it is a book. When you hold a grudge against a brother, you have already afflicted who you afflict, the Holy Spirit. You should not be surprised. The Bible is not real. When you read it, you read the Bible. Jesus is alive. That's why sometimes men of God must be very careful. If we hold an offense, stand in front of people, and start preaching, the Bible cannot be real. If you are holding an offense or simply accusing your brother, saying that place is not right, the other is not right, and the next Sunday you take your Bible and start preaching. So, what do you need to do now before entering the realm of healing, deliverance, salvation? What do you need to do? You need to let go of your past. Whether you are right or not, if you let it go in your heart, it's okay, even if you don't receive a phone call from the person you hold an offense against. Once you let it go in your heart, it's over. You have resolved it

Woman, this woman, I would avenge myself on her, but you don't know that maybe that woman has resolved it with God. And if you now avenge yourself on the woman, you are committing an offense. So, let go of the offense because Jesus wants to be the same in us. Tell your neighbor the Holy Spirit wants to be the same in us. So, if he wants to be himself in us, we need to allow him to be himself in us. Tell your neighbor you need to allow him to be himself in you. And by holding onto offense against your brother, the Holy Spirit cannot remain. All you need to know now is how the blessing can remain; that's what we call maintenance. If you are healed, you will be able to maintain the healing. If you are set free, how will you maintain the liberation? If you are blessed, how will you maintain the blessing? Because you have not been maintaining this, that's why your life is like this. If you had maintained God's blessings in your life, your life wouldn't look like this. Many of the things God has given you, you have failed to maintain them. By holding onto resentment against your brother, you have grieved the Holy Spirit. And when you grieve the Holy Spirit, you will read the Bible but not understand it. It won't be alive; it's as if you were reading literature, as if you were reading a novel. That's why you

Call it by authority, but every time you call the name of Jesus, you are calling yourself. You say in the name of Jesus and you realize that you are calling yourself because no one answers, it's just the people around you and yourself who hear you. It's like this because you have grieved the Holy Spirit by holding onto offense, keeping resentment. So start freeing yourself right now. You can make the decision now and say, Enough is enough, whether you are right or not. You have no right, leave it to God. So start right now. Let me see your heart, your spirit in communion with God. Start praying right now, start praying and say, Lord, I surrender. That is the first step in surrendering to God, saying, I surrender. If you have surrendered, you have let go of the offense, the pain of the past, the bitterness. Something has happened before you can have bitterness in your heart, resentment, hatred. So right now, I want to see your spirit start communicating with God. Pray. Pray in your spirit. Pray in your spirit. Start settling your accounts right now. Settle your accounts, viewers at home, start settling your accounts with God and begin to settle your accounts with God. Thank you, Lord, in the name of Jesus. Rise up. I surrender. Trust in I will never Love and Trust in his presence. I surrender all. Surrender, I

Surrender, my friend. Surrender. I surrender unto the Lord. I surrender. This is the first step in your relationship with God. It has been very difficult for many of us. You continue to plead your reasons, I have been offended, I have been insulted. This is shameful. It is He who has to say, I am sorry, whether you are right or not. You have no right to hold onto an offense or resentment against your brother because this affects all areas of your life. You read the Bible, but it does not come to life because it is this heart that turns what you are reading, you read, and you take it to the conversion room. The conversion room will transform it and send it to the Holy Spirit. Oh my God, I don't know if you understand what I am saying. Let me take my Bible to give you a good example of what I am saying. This is my Bible. I am opening my Bible, and I read, The Lord had compassion on Jacob. What I am reading now, I take it to my heart. If it does not go to the heart, it is just an illustration, mere words. Now I am ready for this word to be read and come to life, to be taken into my heart. My heart now transforms it, and after transforming this word, it sends it to the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit will affect it and turn it into an instrument of healing

You are now reading. God had compassion on Jacob. This word goes straight to the heart, and when the heart refines it, it unites with the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God. That word becomes an instrument. Heart means the spirit of man. But if your heart is holding onto resentments, holding onto pain, holding onto hatred, this cannot go there because only one thing fills the heart. Once hatred is there, nothing else can go in unless your heart is clear. When you have a free spirit, there is no hatred in your heart. You don't hold grudges, you have nothing against anyone. Your heart is free, which means a free spirit. Then the word can go in, be converted, refined, and unite with the spirit of the Father to become an instrument. What is in your heart? Heart means the spirit of man. What is in your spirit? Much. That's why this word you are reading will continue to be literature, a story about Jacob. What I am reading now, if my heart is not free, I am just reading about Jacob, a story about Jacob. Unless this is taken by the heart, the heart transforms and refines it, uniting with the spirit of the Father. Then it becomes an instrument of healing, deliverance, and salvation. Now, the question you have to ask yourself is, what is in my heart? Is your heart full of the past, people who offended you, people who

You were supposed to be paid for a year in the company, they refused to pay you this money, and you have never forgiven them. How do you recognize a true Christian? Just approach them when they are praying, through their prayer you will see if they are a true Christian or not. If they say, God revoke it, God rebuke it, God, I will not... in the name of Jesus, you will know that this is not a true Christian. That's when they vomit, they vomit the pain in their heart. Ask your neighbor what is in your heart now. Now you know the meaning of a free spirit in a man. A free spirit is a heart that lets go of the offense. And when the heart lets go of the offense, that's when you read the Bible, and it goes straight to your heart, and your heart will refine it, it will lead you to the Holy Spirit, and together it will become an instrument. But if your heart is not free from all that pain, you will never see the Bible alive or real. You keep reading your Bible as if you were reading a story. Society has deceived you. You are a teacher, you have your degree, and you are unemployed. Society has deceived you, this is another offense. You are working under someone's orders, with your degree, and you are working for someone who doesn't have a degree, who is your boss. Every time you see him, he

Giving orders, the race is not always for the most agile, not for the fastest, but for the one who excels in every area of your life: stature, wisdom, understanding, education, natural human gifts. And you realize that you are better than him, and he is your boss. Do not forget that the race is not always for you. God has placed you there so you can learn some lessons. Your journey will not end there. You always speak as if your journey will end there, but what we are talking about is just a story in your life. Soon, you will leave that place and have an encounter. Look, if God is leading you towards greatness, He will prepare you for that greatness. And how does God prepare people for greatness? He will lead you through foolishness, through rough people, through educated people so that you can understand everything. He will allow you to go through all these foolish things, foolish things so that when you reach that point, you understand what it means to be a rough guy. There are many heroes today who are not from God. Not all heroes or successful people are from God. There are many who are not from God. That's why God says, The peace I give you is not the same as the one the world gives you. God Himself declares, The world may give you success, but my success is very different from the one the world gives you. So, if you see someone in a high position

Criminals will allow you to work under foolish people. But he will protect you the short time you work there. If he allows it, he will protect you because he is preparing you for greatness. [Applause] That is God. You must have a degree in love and also a degree in hate so that when you take that position, you can explain, you can understand what it means to go through hate. God always makes us fit for that position, he makes us fit for it, he trains us. So you must be prepared for God's training. So once again, take this, the word in the Bible refines our heart.

A Message on Faith, Healing, and Medication

Emmanuel encourages simultaneous prayer for others and oneself, believing that personal healing is connected to healing others.

He emphasizes that God gives us the ability to do what we do not know how to do, aiming to teach and reform us.

Emmanuel also addresses the use of medication, stating that it is acceptable and natural, and that seeking medical advice is not contradictory to having faith in God.

The Challenge of Remembering to Take Medication

The absence of symptoms can lead to forgetting to take medication, which is seen as a blessing.

However, the speaker also highlights the struggle of maintaining the benefits of healing and not allowing pride to interfere.

The message emphasizes the importance of allowing the Holy Spirit to remain in oneself and the impact of holding onto grudges after receiving healing.

The Importance of Releasing Offenses for Spiritual Growth

The Bible is considered to have authority when inspired by the Holy Spirit, but holding onto grudges can make its teachings seem meaningless.

Releasing past offenses is crucial before seeking healing and salvation, as holding onto resentment grieves the Holy Spirit.

Maintaining spiritual blessings requires letting go of resentment, as it can hinder a deep understanding of the Bible's teachings.

Calling on the name of Jesus is a way of calling on oneself, but the key to spiritual freedom is surrendering to God and letting go of resentment and offense.

Surrendering is the first step to releasing bitterness and hatred, and it is crucial for a deep relationship with God.

Transforming the words of the Bible into a heartfelt surrender can lead to spiritual healing and transformation through the Holy Spirit.

Having a free heart allows the word to unite with the spirit and become an instrument of healing and salvation.

A heart filled with resentment and hatred cannot be receptive to the word or the spirit of God.

A free spirit is one that lets go of offense, allowing the word to refine and lead to the Holy Spirit, while a heart full of pain will only see the Bible as a story.

Embracing God's Preparation for Greatness

Success is not just about agility and speed, but about excelling in all areas of life, including learning from difficult experiences.

God's preparation for greatness involves going through foolishness, rough people, and education to truly understand and appreciate the journey.

The success that God offers is distinct from the world's success, and it involves being prepared through love and hate to take on a high position in life.
