Have you started out by believing God for something and then just found yourself being disappointed because you haven’t seen it manifest? Then this series is for you. So hold on.
Speaker 2: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Why live a normal life when you could be living the Abundant Life? Welcome to the Abundant Life program with Ashley and Carlie Terradez.
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Hello and welcome to Abundant Life. We’re so glad you’ve joined us today. My name is Ashley Terradez, and this is my wife Carlie, and we’re talking about how to receive the promises of God. Maybe you’re at a point where you believe the promises of God, but you haven’t seen them manifest in your life yet. We’re going to show you practical tips on how to actually receive the promises for yourself so you can walk them out day by day. Praise God.
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Amen.
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
So this is the second part of this. Where are we up to, Carlie?
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
It is. So last time we began by teaching about the man at the pool of Bethesda in John chapter five, and we got so far as as talking about how he had negative way of thinking because he’d been sick for 38 years.
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
That’s a long time to be sick.
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
That’s going to affect somebody’s thinking, right? And Jesus cut right into his train of thought and he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” This is right here in John five verse five, verse six rather, “Do you want to be healed?” And it seemed almost like a rude kind of question, like a shocking kind of question like stating the obvious. The man is by the pool. He’s been there for a long time. He’s waiting for an angel to stir the waters so that he might have that one in a multitude opportunity of going down and receiving his healing. Kind of like a lottery system. “If only I can get there first, maybe today’s my day, maybe it’s my lucky moment where the circumstances will be perfect and everything will come together and I’ll be able to get down into that water first.”
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Just hoping and wishing.
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Just hoping and wishing.
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
And we meet many people like this, and again, this is no condemnation. God wants you to receive all of his promises, but sometimes we’re waiting on God. We waiting on the circumstances. We’re waiting on things to be just right. “Maybe this preacher will pray for me” or “maybe I’ll get to this conference” or “maybe this will happen.” And you know what? The ball’s in our court. The promises of God are yes and amen.
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Amen. That’s right. And the reason that Jesus broke into this man’s train of thought right here with this question was because the man, and you can see this as you follow through in verse seven, he talks about his past experience. You see the man failed to recognize who it was that was standing in front of him. He was face to face with Jesus, the Messiah. He didn’t recognize healing when he looked in the face. He didn’t recognize provision when he looked it in the face. And he had to have a change of thinking, a mindset shift and take his focus off where he had been in the past and what happened up until that point to to be focused directly on Jesus and give him his full attention before he could receive what he was looking for.
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
And let’s carry on this story. in verse eight it says, Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” And immediately, immediately, even though the man had been sick for 38 years, immediately in that moment he was made well. And I just want to encourage somebody watching today because I know that you’ve been in this same desperate situation for what seems like forever, and it feels like nothing is ever going to change, that your whole life is going to carry on the same way as it has been or even worse. But immediately you can receive.
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Amen.
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
I know that your heart is frustrated. I know that you’ve stood on the word of God, you’ve believed the word of God, and you’re in a place of frustration because you haven’t seen the promises of God manifest in your life. But I want to encourage you because in Proverbs, I think it’s Proverbs 13:12 it says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick.”
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
You see, when we’ve been going through something for a long time, our heart can become made sick because we haven’t yet seen the promises of God manifest. And we know that they’re true. We know the word of God is true. We know the promises of God are yes and amen. But when we don’t see them manifest immediately, we can become a hope deferred makes the heart sick. This man had been sick for 38 years. His thinking wasn’t good. His heart was sick, but even in that state, Jesus met him, and he could change his thinking in a snap and receive.
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Amen. [crosstalk 00:04:14].
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
So you might be stuck, but you don’t have to stuck.
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Amen, you really don’t. Like we said, God’s promises are yes and amen for you. One of my favorite sayings in the bar, but God, it’s like you know but God, this might be the situation. You may have been waiting for 10, 20, 30 years, but God and he will make a way where there seems to be no way. There’s so many examples of this. He takes people from the prison to the palace in one day. He takes people from being paralytic to walking and dancing and leaping with joy in one day. He takes people from being mentally ill and being in chains and running around naked in caves to being in their right mind and walking around the village, talking to people in one day. I mean this is the God of in an instant. Praise God.
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
In an instant you can receive your healing, and you can receive your breakthrough. You can receive whatever you need to receive, but you can’t receive it by constantly rehearsing the past and constantly making excuses or constantly looking at why it won’t work or why it won’t happen. And we meet a lot of people like this and I’ve been guilty of it myself looking at the negative, looking at the past. “Well I’m from this part of town,” or “I’m from this,” “My family-”
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
I’m disadvantaged in some way.
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
“I’m disadvantaged because my family has never made this amount of money,” or “We’ve always had this ailment in our family, this sickness in our family,” and things like that. I made to tell you, don’t worry about your past. You know what? God’s got a great future for you and He wants you to walk in it.
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Amen.
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Amen.
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Amen. And in order for this man here by the poor to embrace his future, he had to have a mindset change. When Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk this.” If you study this out, this is a particular tense that this was written in. This whole phrase was written in a particular tense, which meant that it was like a command. When Jesus was speaking to this man, he was speaking as in a command that requires full obedience and you know, carry on down. He says, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” And he says, “Take up your bed and walk.” And so that’s exactly what the man did. But you know the interesting thing about this was when I looked at this in the original texts and started studying out what he was really meaning was he was conveying to this man a continuous action.
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
So not only was he speaking to “Rise, take up your bed and walk,” he was saying, “Get up, do it now, start walking, be walking and continue on walking.”
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Right.
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
And this is really important because I think sometimes in the trying to believe God for something, we can almost make it about us, right? Where we’re like, you know, like constipated Christians, right? Where we’re just straining and we’re thinking, “If I can just pray enough or go to church enough or read my Bible enough or pray in tongues enough or sing on the worship team or take the right herbs, if I can just have this right formula, if I can just be good enough, then I’m going to receive.”
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Sounds like the law, isn’t it? It sounds like-
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
It is the law.
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
It sounds like we have to do everything just right in order to receive from God and the truth really is, it’s the opposite. God’s already done it. God’s already provided for us in the person of Jesus. It’s already done. When you receive Jesus, you’ll received everything. You received your healing, you received your peace of mind, you received your provision. You received everything, your righteousness, but now it’s up to us to release it, and it’s very different from making something happen, working at trying to make it happen, to already having it and releasing it by faith. There’s a big difference there. We don’t have to do everything perfectly. We don’t have to have everything lined up. We don’t have to have all our ducks in a row. You know when it, by faith, we just have to believe, right? We just have to believe it.
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
This man gave his full focus to Jesus. His full attention was on what Jesus was saying to him. He had to tune out everything else, every one else, all of his past experiences and look at Jesus. And in that moment, that focus was everything he needed to respond to what Jesus has told him to do. You see Jesus gave him a command, “Rise, take up your bed and walk, be walking, start walking and continue walking.” In other words, Jesus didn’t ask him to do something he couldn’t do.
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Wow, that’s good. So he told him to do something because you could do it. [crosstalk 00:08:12]
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Now in the natural, you might think, “Well, the man couldn’t walk. He was asking him to do something he couldn’t do.” No he was asking him to start walking, be walking and continue walking. You see in every word from God is every bit of power that we need in order to receive it, to perform it. Jesus is never going to ask you to do something without giving you the power to do it. He would never command us to do something and not give us the power to do it.
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
It’s a bit like when he said to the the man with the withered hand, “Stretch out your hand, stretch out your arm,” that was his act of faith. But he could do it. It’s the same with, I’m thinking about “Do not fear.” When Jesus said, “Do not fear. Don’t fear.” That means we’ve got the power not to fear in those situations.
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
There’s another time where Jesus said to the lepers, “Go show yourself to the priest.” And as they went, they were healed. They could have sat there on the floor and said, “You know what? We aren’t healed. We aren’t healed so we aren’t going to show ourselves to the priests.”
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
“We’ll go when we see the healing. When we see it.”
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Right. But what Jesus was asking him to do, commanding him to do in this tense was to rise, take up your bed and walk, start doing it now and basically here’s the power, in my words in order to perform what I’ve just told you to do. He would never command you to do something and not give us the power to do it. That would be frustrating.
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
As he stepped out to do it, then he received it. Well, this works in every area.
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
Every area.
Ashley: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
This works in, I’m thinking about in financial provision. In 2 Corinthians 9 and 10 it says that the seed you sow increases and I’m just thinking it’s as we give, then the increase comes, the increase doesn’t come first and then we give. It’s like as we give-
Carlie: Manifesting Miracles Part 2
This is why it takes faith.
Ashley:
… by faith then the increase happen.
Carlie:
Yeah, absolutely. Faith is not having all your ducks in a row before you make a move.
Ashley:
This is just like James was talking about faith without action or faith without works is dead. That’s not talking about works like the law that’s talking about faith without corresponding actions. So when we believe something, we start acting on it, then we’ll start seeing it manifest. It’s powerful. We walk by faith and not by sight.
Carlie:
Absolutely, we do. And I love that where it says “Start walking, be walking and continue walking.” In other words, some of us just need to start where we’re at. It’s really easy to look at other people and think, “Well, they’ve got everything good going on in their life. Obviously they’re a super duper Christian.”
Ashley:
It’s easy for them to believe.
Carlie:
Of course.
Ashley:
It’s easy for them to believe.
Carlie:
It’s easy for them to believe God when everything’s going right, and they seem to have all their bills paid and they don’t have any health issues going on and they were born on the right side of the tracks, and they had great education. They’ve got great family that love them and they’ve got everything going. It’s easy to believe God then. Well we don’t really know really what’s going on in people’s lives. But sometimes we can start to compare ourselves among ourselves and the scripture says that’s not wise.
Carlie:
That’s just not smart anyway. But we don’t have to be super duper Christians. This man was not a super duper Christian that Jesus met. He’d been sick, suffering for 38 years. He’d had 38 years of stinking thinking, right, of laying by the pool being dependent upon other people because he wasn’t able to take care of his basic needs. His whole life was about being crippled. And yet Jesus says in an instant, just take your focus and put it on me and start where you are at. And I want to encourage you today, start believing God where you’re at. If you’re struggling to believe God to slay a Goliath, and maybe you need to kill a lion and a bear first, right?
Ashley:
That’s good. That’s really good.
Carlie:
Let’s start where we were at. Let’s start believing God with what we can believe today.
Ashley:
Amen. It reminds me about friends of ours. Many years ago, just after they got married, he was completely paralyzed, remember quadriplegic, and the doctor said he will never walk again. And she stood on the word of God and she said, “No, my husband will walk again.” And she kept saying that “My husband will walk again.” And she just kept standing on the word of God and kept standing on the truths of his healing. So she started commanding his big toe to move, and finally his big toe moved, and she went telling the doctors, “See, he’s going to walk out of here. He’s going to walk out of here. His toe’s moving. His toe’s moving.” And that’s all he could move was his toe. He couldn’t move anything else. He was a young man in his twenties couldn’t move anything else but his big toe. She said, “Look, his toe’s moving.” She’s celebrated that victory.
Ashley:
She celebrated the fact that he’s big toe was moving-
Carlie:
Amen.
Ashley:
And it was months and months, I think it may have even been years. But anyway, to this day he walks now, he fishes, he’s got use of all five of his limbs.
Carlie:
He’s active.
Ashley:
He’s completely active. And you never know that he was quadriplegic in his 20s, but she stood by faith and she celebrated that victory. She started on something small rather than going from nothing to just running out of the hospital, which is possible. All things are possible with God. God’s best is for us to be instantly healed.
Carlie:
Amen.
Ashley:
But yeah, in these situations, it can be good to start with something small, to build our faith and to see a victory in an area.
Carlie:
Amen. Get a victory in one area first. You’ve seamlessly transitioned here into a point I wanted to make, but our confession is so important. You see, we’ve mentioned here that Jesus had power in his words, he said, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” When he spoke those words are as in the commandment, there was all of the power that they were ever going to need to fulfill the commandment that he’d just given them, all of the power. And you know, when we speak, sometimes we don’t realize the power that’s in our words. Maybe you’ve started out speaking the word of God. You’ve sown seeds of faith through through the power of your words, but you’ve given up because you haven’t seen the manifestation. There is a process that happens when words leave our mouth, that’s confession.
Carlie:
When we confess the word of God, those words leave our mouth like seeds of power. They go immediately into action, but sometimes there is a period of time before we see those. I call this process confession, creation and manifestation.
Ashley:
Oh, say it again, Carlie. Say it again.
Carlie:
Confession, creation and manifestation. And this is like with a baby. When a baby is born, when the seed of that child is planted, those children they’re spoken out, if they’re not spoken out by their parents, if they’re not wanted by their parents, they’re wanted by God. Amen. God wrote a book about you, and He predestined you and He already called you and formed you and had you in mind and He wrote it down. Those babies are spoken into being. They’re written into being. The word has spoken them into being. And so what happens when those seeds are sewn?
Carlie:
We’re not going to have a biology lesson here. Okay, but there is a creation after the sowing of that seed through confession, there is a planting and there is a creation period inside the mother’s womb that takes about nine months.
Ashley:
What about the stork? When does the stork come in?
Carlie:
We’ll talk later, honey.
Ashley:
The stork flies in.
Carlie:
We’ll talk later.
Ashley:
Okay.
Carlie:
And at the end of around nine months, there is a manifestation of that baby that we can see with our natural eyes.
Ashley:
The birthing.
Carlie:
The birthing of that baby.
Ashley:
That’s the easy bit.
Carlie:
Yeah, right. Your part was very small, honey. I just have to say. Okay. Right? There’s confession, creation and manifestation, and oftentimes we don’t see the manifestation of what we are believing God for because we dig the very seed that we’ve planted up while it’s in the creation phase. You know when that baby is being created, when it’s been knit together in its mother’s womb, you can’t see that on the outside of the mother.
Carlie:
Right? You see a belly growing, but you can’t see what’s going on. I remember I was just laughing with some friends of mine, but I remember with our first child, Zack, it was about, I was about five or six months pregnant before anyone could tell I was actually pregnant.
Ashley:
You just looked a little bit fat.
Carlie:
I just looked a little bit tubby. And I was so disappointed. Because people couldn’t see yet on the outside what I knew-
Ashley:
Was already a reality.
Carlie:
… what I could feel was going on inside.
Ashley:
You were 100% pregnant but you didn’t look like it on the outside.
Carlie:
Exactly.
Ashley:
I have to be careful with this because I remember seeing the lady once I hadn’t seen for awhile. I said, “Oh.”
Carlie:
Oh, this is where we get into trouble.
Ashley:
I said, “Oh, you’re pregnant?” And she said, “No, I had the baby three months ago.” Now there’s no recovery from that.
Carlie:
Listen, if you don’t see the baby, don’t say anything. Just know better.
Ashley:
So even if they’re nine months pregnant-
Carlie:
No.
Ashley:
Unless I can see the head, I don’t see anything.
Carlie:
Ashley.
Carlie:
I’m sorry you all. I’m sorry. Anyway, moving on. There is a point right? Ashley, I thought he was going to be spiritual and then he got all crazy on me.
Ashley:
I’m sorry. You’ve got to be careful with pregnant women is what I’m saying. They’re a little bit more moody as well, so they’re more likely to swing for you.
Carlie:
we;’re going to get letters about this, you know that?
Ashley:
Yes, we are. Yeah. I’m sorry.
Carlie:
There is a point, right? Even as a mother, when you know that you are pregnant, even though other people cannot see it, you know, because you know, because you know that you are pregnant. That there is a life being formed, that there is a creation process that is happening on the inside of you. You know it but it’s a period of time before that child is manifest and people can see it on the outside.
Carlie:
Now just because other people can’t see the baby yet doesn’t mean the process isn’t going on and sometimes we ship wrecked the word of God from bearing fruit in our life because we want to dig the seed up to see if it’s growing. It’s like saying, “Well hang on a second, let’s cut the mother open and see if the baby’s growing.” The baby’s going to die. We can’t do that. We can’t wait for the manifestation of God’s word to know that the creation is happening. That’s faith. To take the creation part of it, knowing that the word of God has been planted and He’s creating, we have to take that by faith. We walk by faith and not by sight. And oftentimes we miss out on a manifestation because we’ve aborted the manifestation of God, the promise of God while it’s in the creation phase and just like with a natural baby, if a natural baby is medically or spontaneously aborted, there is a grieving that happens for that creation that never reached maturity.
Carlie:
And many people get stuck there because like Ashley was saying in the waiting, their hope becomes deferred. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. But we can take the word of God by faith. We speak it out by confession.
Ashley:
Amen.
Carlie:
And there’s a scripture there. I think you have it in Hebrews.
Ashley:
Hebrews 4:14 says, “Seeing then that we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the son of God, let us hold fast our confession.”
Carlie:
“Hold fast our confession.” You know, confession and profession are used interchangeably. But basically what that means is to say the same as. We need to be saying the same as what Jesus is saying. What are we saying about our situation? This is really important. We’ve already mentioned that life and death, death and life are in the power of our tongue. What are we saying about our situation? Because confession creates.
Ashley:
Amen. Yeah, Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life in the power of time,” or how we report something, how we see something that is so important. So if we were in a situation, I heard someone put it this way, like a tea bag. When you squeeze, what’s on the inside will come out. What are you putting in? Are you believing the word of God? Are you putting the word of God in you so that when you come up against a situation, is it the word of God coming out of you? Or is it a negative report coming out of you?
Ashley:
And it’s so important, especially early on in the battle, to have the promises of God in you, to have your mind renewed to the goodness of God and the promises of God so that when you do face a challenge, when you do face something that’s contrary to the word of God, you’ll rise up and you’ll say, “No, the word says this. The word says this.” It’s not necessarily you need chapter and verse and you need to know everything perfectly, but you need to have an understanding of what God’s will is for you. It’s not God’s will for you to suffer. It’s not God’s will for you to be poor. It’s not God’s will for you to be in confusion and anxiety. So it’s so important to know these truths so that when the rubber hits the road if you’d like, you’ve got something to stand on and say, “No, this is the truth.”
Carlie:
Yeah, and I like how it says it in the scripture. “Let us hold firmly to our confession.” You know, we have to hold onto it. The world is going to try and snatch it away. It’s very easy for other people when you believe in God and it’s amazing what happens. When you say to somebody, “I believe in God,” for whatever it is, other people, they haven’t necessarily had the same revelation that you have. God hasn’t necessarily spoken to them to believe for something that He’s spoken to you, right?
Ashley:
They could criticize you from the point of laughing and mocking you to one extreme all the way to like sneering and like “That’s not going to work.” Or genuine concern for you because they’re concerned that it’s not going to work out, but they haven’t got the word. They haven’t got the same word that God’s given you. So that’s why it’s important to hold fast to your confession, to actually keep that before you. Keep them promises before you. Keep believing those promises. See those promises come about in your life. When people are negative and come against you, block those things out. Even Jesus, Peter said to him, “Jesus, you know there’s another way. You don’t have to go to the cross. There’s another way.” And Jesus, one of his best friends, Peter, one of his best friends. He said, “Get behind me, Satan.” He rebuked that report. And I’m not saying you go around and tell people to get behind me Satan. But sometimes the enemy will use your loved, he will use all different ways to get to you and say that the promises of God aren’t going to work. This isn’t going to work for you. You’re not going to see this happen.
Carlie:
You know, last time, if you joined us last time I started sharing my testimony about being healed from epilepsy and I just realized I never actually finished it, so I probably should. But you know, I went to that Bible study. God spoke to me. I knew that on the inside that God wanted me to be made well. And I spent over a period of two weeks, God showed me how I needed to change some of my thinking. I had some stinking thinking in there, but He painted a picture on the inside of me of what it meant to be made well. Well, I went back to that Bible study and my fleece was, I kind of laid down a fleece there. “If my friend prays for me, and if the circumstances are perfect, right, then I’ll know it really is you, Lord. And it really is your will.” Remember?
Ashley:
If a black cat crosses my path and this happens and that happens and yeah, it’s like Gideon’s fleece, right? That’s not the best way to test [crosstalk 00:21:37]
Carlie:
It’s not the best way, but God meets us where we’re at. Just like he met the man at the pool of Bethesda. He met me where I was at and she offered to pray for me and nothing happened in the natural, but on the inside I knew that I was healed, and I went home and I said to Ashley, this was my confession, my profession, to say the same as Jesus, right? Jesus was calling me healed. So I went home and I told my husband, “Guess what happened to me today? Jesus healed me of epilepsy.” And you said…
Ashley:
I was very excited. I was like, “This is awesome. This is going to be great.”
Carlie:
Right?
Ashley:
Okay, I was like early twenties. I didn’t know what I knew now. I said, “Great, you’re going to die and leave me to raise three children,” was my response.
Carlie:
Well, and here’s the thing. I had to hold firmly to my confession because even though I knew that God had created and manifest a healing on the inside of me, Ashley couldn’t see that. There was no outward evidence of the healing of epilepsy on the inside. So we can’t be hard on him. We can’t say, “Oh, you man of unbelief.” You know, God had spoken to me. He hadn’t spoken to Ashley the same way, but when God had spoken to me, and I knew because I took it by faith, that that healing had manifest on the inside of me, even though on the outside, nothing had changed. When I went back home and told him I had to hold fast to my confession, that means to speak the word, to keep speaking the word and not quit speaking the word. And if we will do that, we’ll win If we don’t quit.
Ashley:
Amen.
Carlie:
This is for somebody today. You win if you don’t quit. You started out speaking the word of God. You started out believing in God, but somewhere along the lines, your heart became sick. Your hope became deferred, and you quit. But God’s saying, “You know what, and you can pick right up where you left off today.” Keep speaking the word of God. With your confession, you are creating a manifestation. Your confession creates and the creation will give birth to a manifestation. You will win if you don’t quit. Go back to where you first believed God and don’t be moved from it. Amen.
Ashley:
That’s good. So many times-
Carlie:
That is so powerful.
Ashley:
… people get so close to seeing their victory manifest and then they quit just before they see it. You know, I’ve heard people put it this way. A winner is someone who just got up one more time and keep believing the word. The word does not return void. Yes, there may have been a time period, and you’re tired and you’re waiting, but you know, don’t quit believing. Don’t quit believing the word of God because it’s going to come to pass. You’re going to see them promises manifest in your life if you don’t give up. Amen.
Carlie:
Amen. And and that is really important. There’s a scripture here. This is Isaiah 55:11. It says “His word, God’s word does not return void, but it prospers in the thing to which it was sent.” When words leave your mouth that are of faith, immediately they go to action working in realms that we cannot see.
Ashley:
Wow.
Carlie:
And how long that takes for the creation phase, whether it’s nine months like a baby, or it’s nine minutes, or if it’s two weeks like me or whether it’s nine seconds, it doesn’t matter. You know what? The word of God is not changed by outward conditions.
Ashley:
Amen.
Carlie:
It is not moved by our experience. The word of God does not return void. We can take the word and plant in our heart and if we will hold fast to our confession, we will see it produce fruit.
Ashley:
Amen. That’s awesome.
Carlie:
Amen.
Ashley:

Let’s pray for the people.
Ashley:
We’re out of time, but we’ll be back real soon to continue this teaching. We want to pray for you before we go. So Father God, I thank you for everyone watching today. I thank you, Lord, that it’s your will for us to be healed and whole and to have victory in every area of our life. I thank you, Lord, you’ve already provided for us and I thank you, Lord you’re helping us as we change our confession, and we start speaking your word and meditating on your word. I thank you, Lord, for those who are discouraged, that you’re going to encourage them by your Holy spirit and they’re going to get back into your word and they’re going to go again and keep believing your word for as long as it takes before they see their victory. Thank you, Jesus.

Just like Jesus gave you healing. Jesus also gave you prosperity in your finances. So whatever your situation is, you can receive the prosperity of the Lord.

Carlie:
The word of God frames things that in our natural world that we don’t even see that happening yet. Those things in the natural world are framed first in the spiritual. The word of God does that. The word of God that God spoke out in the creation of the world when He created the planets, the word that He spoke when He spoke Jesus into being, the word that He spoke when you were created in your mother’s womb, as He knit you, in the Psalms He says He knit you together in your mother’s womb. He predestined you. The word that He spoke when He says that all of your days are numbered, all the hairs of your head are numbered, that I’ve predestined you for success, that I’ve adopted you into my family.
Ashley:
That’s good preaching.
Carlie:
All of these promises that God has spoken has framed our world.
Ashley:
Wow.
Carlie:
That’s powerful. He framed our world with His words. That’s how powerful the word of God spoken out is.
