if you take a look time to look around it seems that change is happening all around us there is good change and there is bad change nevertheless there is change happening some change is positive and some change is negative and what we find is that people deal differently with change you have those who love and adapt to change more easily these people are usually eager to see progress they want to experience the latest and the greatest then you have those who despise change for this a group of people change can produce anxiety and fear in their lives change equates to fear of the unknown or a fear of what will happen in the future for forbes magazine did a study that concluded that 38 percent of people like to leave their comfort zone and enjoy change 38 of people so that means that 62 of people do not like to leave their comfort zone and do not enjoy change are you with me wednesday night our pastor pastor brad changed things up if you weren't in here he got a pulpit and he brought it down here and he started teaching and preaching from down there at the ground level now some people were shaking brother brad wondering what in the world is he doing why is he doing that and and questions were going on and then that means that the other percentage of people were fine with it and they loved it and it was a great change that they liked to see the study shows that 62 percent of us have a difficulty with change that just means that it takes us time to get used to us but most of us prefer to have a solid expectation of things around us but you see in the world that we live in seems to change always and change is always happening it is frequent and it is never ending some changes we don't realize or pay much attention to but other changes scare us they make us feel uneasy uncomfortable anxious and nervous whether you are excited by change or whether it makes you uneasy we can all agree that change is a natural part of the world that we live in we can constantly see the different fluctuations that are happening in the world around us and just to name a few uh the war that is going on in your ukraine has brought about changes even into our lives there are threats of war in other countries such as china and taiwan and and iran and the economy has changed and fluctuated inflation and interest rates and so on and politically there's a lot of change going on even right now with the elections and things that are happening to the current president and the previous president change many times is uncomfortable probably because of the unknown that is in front of us and while things are changing all around us sometimes we feel like everything is out of control and out of our control sometimes it seems like our life seems to waver and move and shift with the rise and the fall of change our foundation seems unsteady and unrecognizable at times but i've come to speak the word of the lord into your life today that there is security and there is safety and there is steadfastness that fastness in our god because he never changes he is the same yesterday today and forever what an assurance that we have in god he's always been faithful and he will continue to be faithful he's always provided and he will he's always delivered and he will he's always showed up all right on time and he will continue to do that i've come to preach today that what god has done in the past he will do right now what god has done in the past the revival the healings the miracles that he's done in the past he will do right now and what god is getting ready to do now he will continue to do tomorrow because he is the same yesterday today and forever we serve an unchanging god malachi 3 and 6 says for i am the lord who i change not i changed night not i told you earlier that god was going to do miracles today miracles are not just healings and we're going to have some of those today we're going to have healings today god is going to perform the miraculous and healing today in your body if you've come and need healing in your body today you just wait for just a minute god is getting ready to heal your body miracles are not just healings though although those are going to happen

but some of you are facing situations that unless god intervenes unless god steps in unless god shows up there is no way out and i've come mandated with a word from god for you today that says you will not die in your situation you are not going to die you will not drown in the waters of the adversity that you are facing you will not be consumed by the fire and you will not be overtaken if you believe that would you clap your hands this morning would you accept that word isaiah 43 and 1 but thus saith the lord watch this that created thee he created you that created thee o jacob and that formed thee he's the only one that can take pleasure in that he formed you he says fear not for i have redeemed you he's the only one that can take credit for that he said fear not i have redeemed you and i have called you by name and you are mine you want to talk about a god that's being a little bit possessive he said i'm the one who created you i formed you i knew who you were before you and your you were in your mother's womb he said and not only that i'm claiming you you are mine you don't have to fear and you don't have to be afraid of what you're going through because you are mine hear me somebody grab a hold of it you are a child of the king you're a child of the almighty god he claims you he said when thou passeth through the waters i will be with thee you're not going to face it alone but he's with you and through the rivers they shall not overflow thee and when you walk through the fire they shall not be burned neither shall the faith flame kindle upon thee here it is again for i am the lord thy god he said for i am the lord thy god are you thankful to be known by him had to be called his would you lift your hands and would you thank him for the opportunity to be called by him lord i thank you hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

in exodus 3 we find that the children of israel have been in bondage for 430 years exodus 3 and 7. the lord said i've surely seen the affliction of my people which are in egypt and he said i've heard their cry by reason of their tax masters god has not forsaken you i need a better amen than that i said god has not forsaken you god has not forgot about you god has not turned his ear from you he said i've been watching them he's been watching you he said i've seen their sorrow he's seen everything that you are facing and everything that you are going through he said i've been listening to them and i have heard their cry he's heard every prayer that you have prayed sometimes it feels like we speak those words of to god and they come about right here and they fall straight down i've come to shred that lie of the enemy every word that you've spoke to god has not fell flat on the ground but he has heard every word that you have prayed and then he says i am come down to deliver them are you ready deliverance is getting ready to happen in this place he said i've come to deliver them god delivers them from egypt and out of the hand of the oppressor and as you look at their journey out of egypt and through the wilderness they are surrounded by the supernatural and the miraculous i don't have time to go through all of that today but just pharaoh letting them go alone the miraculous hand of god was upon them and in that time and israel leaves egypt and they arrive at the red sea there is a giant obstacle in front of them and when they look behind them it looks like that the enemy is on their tail and and when they look in front of them the red sea is there and they they can't get through and they they can't go past and they begin to panic naturally they begin to be full of fear and anxiety and and the battle hear me somebody today that's battling the battle begins to start raging in their mind the battle because because of where they're at and they they feel like they are surrounded they feel like there is nowhere for them to go they they look in front of them and there's a giant obstacle and they look behind them and the enemy is on their tail and they're they're trying to look around which way do i go what do we do and now all of the sudden their mind is raging and fear takes place and anxiety takes place because they have nowhere to go and nothing to do and they start saying things that don't make sense they start saying we should have stayed in egypt we should have stayed in bondage we've been in bondage for 400 plus years and and and we should have just stayed there instead that wasn't right that wasn't the right mind that wasn't a sound mind but because of what they were surrounded by their mind began to to play tricks on them and they begin to war in their mind they feel as though they were surrounded and there was no way out but hear me somebody just when you feel like there is no way out that is the perfect time for god to step in and perform the miraculous in your life they thought where are we going to go and what are we going to do we we've got to move we've we've got to do something we can't just stay here if we if we stay here they're going to kill us and the word of the lord comes to moses exodus 14 and i feel the holy ghost right now the word of the lord came to him and said fear ye not you don't have to fear i know the situation looks bleak i know that it looks like you're surrounded i know it looks like there's nowhere for you to go he said but fear ye not and then he says stand still because in a time where we come up against obstacles and we feel like the enemy is on our tail and there's nowhere we've got to do something we've got to go somewhere we've got to make a way if that's all if that's what it's going to take and god says fear not and then he says stand still don't move stay right where you are and see the salvation of the lord which he will show you today see the salvation that he will show you today verse 14 says the lord shall fight for you i love that that means that i don't have to find my own way out i don't have to try to open the doors on my own i don't have to run this way or that way because i've got a god that calls me by name i've got a god that loves me i've got a god that cares for me and he's saying hey i'm right there with you you don't have to fear why don't you just stand still and why don't you see me do the work in your life stand still and see the salvation of the lord in other words in other words he was saying your deliverance is on its way and i've come to proclaim today that today is a day of deliverance today is your day of deliverance moses stretches the rod over the sea and can you see it it begins to part the waters begin to part and dry land begins to appear it was the miraculous hand of god so i've come to tell you again you will not die in your dilemma and you will not drown in the waters of adversity and you will not be consumed and you will not be overtaken and you will not be overcome because today is your day of deliverance if it looks impossible and it looks like there is no way out i've come to tell you that god can make a way when there seems to be no way and i've just got to believe that if he did it in the past he's going to do it today because he is the unchanging god the lord began to speak to me several weeks ago about this day and about what he wants to do for this day begin to tell me that there will be healing here today healing not only physically there's going to be physical healing if you need healing in your body god wants to heal you today the gift of faith is already working and operating in this place there is faith that can move mountains in this place right now not only does he want to to heal physically but he began to speak to me and tell me that he wants to heal some emotional wounds that you've been dealing with for quite a while

mark chapter 5 jesus comes into the country the gallerians jerrius comes a ruler of the synagogue and asked jesus if he would come and heal his daughter you know the scripture mark chapter 5 and 24 i'll read it and jesus went with him with jarius and much people followed him and thronged him and a certain woman which had an issue of blood for 12 years say 12 years and suffered many things of many physicians had spent all that she had and was nothing better only grew worse when she heard of jesus she came in the press behind the bible says that she touched his garment she said for if i may but touch his clothes i shall be whole think about that for just a minute she said he doesn't have to speak to me he doesn't have to lay his hands on me i don't have to have the the oil or or or handkerchief she said if i can just touch his clothes i will be made whole she spoke the words of faith she spoke the words of faith lean over to your neighbor and say god can heal me today look at your other neighbor and say god can do a miracle in your life today that's the word of faith she spoke it verse 29 and straightway the fountain of her blood dried up and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague the united says immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering watch this in mark 5 and 30. and jesus immediately knowing that virtue had come out of him turned about in the press and said who touched me but the woman fearing and trembling knowing what was done in her came and fell down before him and told him the truth and and he said to her daughter thy faith hath made thee whole it wasn't his garment it wasn't the hem of his garment but she got in her mind that if she could just get to jesus if she could just touch jesus that she was going to be made whole i wonder if somebody would just get in your mind if i can just get to jesus if i can just reach out and touch jesus a miracle is getting ready to happen in my life jesus in this story was on his way to heal somebody else he was doing something else but there was a lady that had been dealing with this issue in her life for 12 years say 12 years she did everything she could do she went to the doctors she talked to everybody i'm sure they said there's nothing more that i can do we get that report sometimes don't we the doctor says there's nothing more that i can do for you i don't know she went to all of them the physicians and everybody that she could the bible says she even spent every dollar that she had all of her money she only grew worse because nobody could do anything for her but she had faith that if she could just get to jesus she would be made whole i want to zero in on 12 years 12 years she had an this issue she suffered and she was sick but just one second near jesus i said just one second near jesus and 12 years of suffering was gone immediately i've come to tell somebody it doesn't matter if you've been suffering for 12 days or 12 months or for 12 years all it takes is one second in the presence of jesus and all of that suffering can be gone would you stand to your feet if you believe that would you clap your hands uh would you shout with the voice of triumph hallelujah hallelujah be seated for just a minute i tricked you 12 years she suffered and in just a second in the presence of god she was healed i've come to declare that if he did it then he can do it now because he is the same yesterday today and forever and we serve the unchanging god would you clap your hands again

i was preaching and i was preaching about faith and the miraculous touch of god and the healing touch of god this was when i was a little bit younger and and i remember there was a man that came into that service and he uh had a cast on his leg it was one of those black casts from his his uh knee all the way down covered his foot and i remember they told me that he had had this cast on for three months and that his leg and ankle and foot was not getting any better and so he came to that service and and i began to preach about the miraculous power of god and that god can do anything i've come to preach that today that god is still a miracle worker god can still do anything there is nothing that's too hard for him i went down and i he was sitting right here on this side i went down and in the altar call and i i touched that cast and i began to pray and invoke the power of the name of jesus and and proclaim healing to take place in his body and and i got back up to uh the platform and i looked down and that guy started unbuckling that cast and this faith preacher said oh my lord what is he doing he started unbuckling that cast and i watched him and i went down there to him he took that cast off and he started right here and he started doing one of these jesus name jesus name in jesus name he began to pace back and forth in that altar area that cast was still laying over there he grabbed that cast at the end of that service he put it under his arm and he never wore that cast again god healed him instantly and immediately in that service oh i've come to say that just a second and god's presence can make the difference it doesn't matter what you're going through or how long you're going through it god can heal you

i begin to read in the new testament about jesus healing people and just the healings of jesus and it goes like this two blind man in matthew 9 the deaf and the dumb man healed in mark 7 the blind man in bethsaida mark 8 the woman with the spirit of infirmity in luke 13 the 10 lepers in luke 17 malkia's ear was healed in luke 20 the nobleman's son was cured in capernaum in john 4 the impotent man of but zeta was healed in john 5. the man born blind was healed in john 9 syrophoenician woman's daughter healed in matthew chapter 15. centurion's servant was healed in matthew chapter 8 the blind and the dumb demonic cured in matthew 12. peter's wife's mother was healed in matthew 8 the woman with the issue of blood in matthew 9. the man sick of the palsy healed in matthew 9 a man's withered hand healed in matthew 12 the lunatic child healed in matthew 17 and the two blind man healed instantly in matthew 20. i got to reading those and and listen those were just the ones that jesus was a part of that doesn't include the apostles that was healings only and then i went to matthew chapter 8 and 16 it says when the even was come they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils and he cast out the spirit with his word and he healed what all that were sick and then i read in matthew 6 and ever he entered into villages or cities or country they laid the sick in the streets and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment and as many as touched him were made whole as many as touched him were made whole luke 9 and the people when they knew it followed him and he received them speaking unto them the kingdom of god and the bible says he healed them all that had a need of healing matthew 4 and 23 jesus went about into all galilee teaching in the synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and he's healing what all manner of disease and what all manner of sickness among the people and verse 24 says his fame went throughout all syria and they brought to him all the sick people that were taken with diverse diseases and torments and those who were possessed with devils and those which were lunatic and those that had palsy and he healed them healed all of them i tried to come up for you all this morning with a number of healings and miracles that jesus did in the new testament but i couldn't count all manner of diseases and i couldn't count all manner of sickness and they didn't give us all the numbers of all the people that were healed then i got to john 20 and 30 and it says and many other signs truly did jesus and the presence of his disciples which are not written in this book but these are written that you may believe that jesus is the christ the son of god and that believing he might have life through his name and it says and there also and there are also many other things which jesus did the which if they should ever be written one i suppose that even the world itself could not contain in the books that should be written he's done so many miracles and so many healings that the books in the world cannot even contain them and i've come to say that if he did it then he will do it now and he will do it in the future because he's the unchanging god that's a lot of miracles that's a lot of healing that jesus that was jesus that's what jesus did that doesn't count all the ones where he sent the disciples the apostles he said in my name they shall cast out devils and they shall speak with new tongues and they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover

as i was preparing for this message and really focusing in on healing physical healing the lord began to speak to me about some other things that needed healed and this day i believe that is some emotional healings and this is the word that the lord kept speaking to me and it was the word wait w-e-i-g-h wait that people are carrying i'm not talking about sin i'm talking about emotional weights that people are carrying emotional weight which could be hurt from the past could be hurt from a family member could be hurt that that nobody else knows about that you're dealing with would you lift your hands right now i feel the holy ghost in this place god's getting ready to do something in somebody's life that you've been waiting for for a long time hurts that you have never shared with anybody hurts that were done to you that were not right that we're not just nobody else knows about those hurts in your life and then others of you have suffered with hurts emotionally that people do know and that you are trying to work through and that happened a long time ago and you're trying to get through them and you're trying to work through them and you've been praying about them and you've been asking god to touch you i've come to tell you today that today is the day for your healing god wants to heal you emotionally of the things that you have never spoke to anybody else and you may not ever speak them to anybody else but god has showed up today to heal those hurts i wonder would you reach over to your neighbor right now and would you begin to pray that god would heal anything that's inside of them any emotional pain any emotional hurt that they're dealing with that god would begin to touch them and work in them lord by the power and the authority of your word and the power of your name i pray that healing would begin to take place and lives all over this congregation this morning though nobody else knows the hurt and though nobody else knows the pain you have

earlier this week as we prayed over this service i felt a very specific direction if you're praying continue on but i want to follow the holy ghost in this regard i want to ask before we do this if you felt like the lord definitely touched you whether you were healed in your body or the lord touched your heart and there was healing i want you to just express that with an uplifted hand we ought to rejoice in what the lord has already done oh we ought to praise him and thank him for what he's already done if god touched you lift that hand again and let brothers and sisters see what god's done but you're going home healed and in victory and now now i want to share with the lord tell with me about and in first kings 18 elijah prayed prayers about three sentences long and they experienced the miraculous that first prayer probably between 30 and 40 words and the lord did the miraculous but then a chapter in the end of that chapter later in that chapter he asked to pray again for reign the first time he prayed the miracle happened after three sentences the second time the second miracle that had to happen he had to send his servant seven times after he prayed the direction i feel this morning is to pray again how many miracles do we miss when we don't pray again and seek him again and go after him again isaiah where elijah rather put his head down and began to pray and he said go look i don't see anything nothing happened i'm going to go home and no no go look again and i'm going to pray again and then you go look again and i'm going to pray again and then that seventh time he saw that cloud the size of a man's hand and the miraculous happen we're going to pray again and believe that god is able i don't know if we're going to pray another seven times we'll just follow the holy ghost but if you need a miracle right now would you lift your hand in this atmosphere where so many have already experienced it you need a miracle brothers and sisters church would you mobilize right now and go and find one of these that has their hand lifted and pray again like elijah did pray three or four times if you have to would you pray in the name of jesus right now oh god our faith pushes us past one prayer it pushes us past a regular altar call and alter service oh but we're going to pray again we're going to believe again i know that others have received the miraculous after just one moment and i thank god for it but there are still others who are in need of a miracle so we pray again and again and again and we believe that the same god who sent rain oh he can send healing today paul pray church pray in faith in the anointing of the holy ghost and once you're done praying for them why don't you go find someone else and pray again and if you gotta find the third one pray again do while you're praying why don't you pray over the field again while we're all praying would you just stretch your hand if you're not praying for someone nearby you stretch your hand beyond this place and begin to pray over your neighborhood and pray over the field maybe you haven't seen anything yet oh but there's an unchanging god who can reach your neighbors and help you reach your friends and loved ones pray over that unsafe love with a kid we pray again this morning knowing lord that you didn't change from the first time we prayed oh but you're able to do it you're able to do it in the name of jesus we pray over the field and we pray over the harvest and we pray over unsafe loved you're able to ones us to him you're able to open doors the wire came to me said he felt need the need to seal what has happened today in our hearts because many of you have experienced a miraculous no you'll leave this place and you'll begin to question did that really happen or you'll keep testing that knee and wondering oh that really and the doubt will set in but we're going to seal it in our hearts again if you experience the touch of god in a mighty in a miraculous way would you lift your hand right now keep that hand up and now as a church we're gonna praise the lord this unchanging god for what he's done this morning for every one of these and every other one of us who's going home i want you to seal it with your praise right now oh thank you for every miracle thank you for every healing lord oh jesus let's do this for a little while because he's worthy of it thank you lord for every heart that's been healed thank you for everybody that's been healed thank you jesus and you are an unchanging god thank you jesus we thank you jesus
