I know this is hard for a lot of people, especially here in the United States — well, really all over the world right now — where the world practically teaches us to depend on science in almost everything we do, as if we fully trust science completely. Even many pastors say, obviously, as if the world's science and the science from above were the same thing. In the church, many want to teach, obviously, that we should trust science completely.
And in the church, really almost everyone — because of the culture, the whole world right now, Satan deceives the world. We've been taught to accept everything that comes from science as settled, as if the scientists already approved it — if the scientists said yes, if it's supposedly already proven, then it's good. And that is a lie.
Satan uses science enormously for the destruction of the world. Blessings, welcome all of you to our church, Jesus King of Kings. We continue our teaching series, Spiritual Warfare: Training Your Hand for Battle.
Today we're at number 17 in this series, chapter 3. We'll continue looking at the weapons, the strategies Satan uses to fight against us, the weapons he uses to try to steal, kill, and destroy. Today we'll talk about four of them: false brethren, false friends, the world's science, and we'll also talk about medicine. These are four things the enemy uses to steal, and so that he doesn't gain the advantage over us, we must understand and recognize his schemes.
False brethren — from ancient times, we see this in the word, as in Galatians 2:4, where Paul says, and this in spite of false brethren secretly brought in, who came in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, to bring us into bondage. So Paul understood about false brethren who came in to spy on the liberty we have in Christ. In other words, there are people — sometimes these people are witches and warlocks, but sometimes they're not; sometimes they're simply people who are under deception and are puppets of Satan, whom Satan uses as he pleases. They appear to go to church for the Lord, but in reality their heart isn't good — it's Satan leading them to watch, to observe, and to use their mouth and their attitudes and everything else to try to put a stumbling block in front of the gospel. That's one of the ways Satan uses false brethren.
Then there are others who are witches and warlocks — people already steeped in wickedness, who have made a covenant with Satan, who have sold their souls to Satan, and Satan speaks to them just as I'm speaking to you now, and Satan sends them. He says, go to that church and sit in row number 3, because Satan already knows who's going to sit where, and the purpose is to get close to some of us, supposedly to build a friendship, but really with the purpose of cursing us, confusing us, giving us false counsel, sowing discord against us with words, cursing us with words — they bring cursed oil and things like that and curse us. Sometimes it's also to seduce someone; he sends a woman or a man, and Satan obviously causes loneliness in some, causes singleness, or causes intense lust in some who are married or engaged. If Satan knows what problem he's causing these people, he then sends the 'solution' — he sends a false brother, a false sister, to sit next to them, to seduce them into falling into fornication, and then hurt them even more.
Satan greatly uses people to set up these stumbling blocks. I've seen many testimonies from men and women about someone who prayed for them, someone they thought was a Christian because they talked about the word, supposedly attended church, and seemed very Christian at first — but after some time, once their eyes were opened a little more, they clearly realized it was full of deceit and wickedness, all with an evil purpose. And sometimes, when I've ministered to these people, that person who seduced them in the past at church manifests — a brother, a sister — because they were a witch or warlock who had been sent by Satan for the sole purpose of hunting souls right there in the church.
We also have 2 Corinthians 11:26, where Paul says: in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own countrymen, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren. So Paul was already dealing with this too. Especially for those of us who serve the Lord, Satan uses that strategy with us as well — he tries to place false brethren, because if a person's heart is set on the Lord and they're no longer distracted by the things of the world, by partying, by nightlife, and every other kind of distraction he sets up, then his strategy is to place a false brother or sister close to that person, in order to try to steal their time through that relationship. Sometimes these are people who have already made a covenant with Satan; sometimes not — sometimes they're decent people, people who even love God, but who are still in bondage, still not firm in the Lord, still lacking more freedom, still lacking more revelation and knowledge of the word.
So they still live almost a double life, because on one hand they love God, but on the other hand they love the things of the world, because they still lack understanding, they're still not firm. And while they're not firm yet, Satan manipulates them and tries to use these unstable people to knock those who are firm off their footing. Against those who don't go to parties, he tries to use those who do go to worldly parties — pagan parties, sinful parties — he tries to use those who do go, because they don't see anything wrong with it yet, so they'll convince those who don't go to start going too. The point is that, in different ways, he uses everyone nearby who is weak. That's why we must be strengthened in the Lord, so that no one moves us from our firm footing.
We want to be used by God so that others become like us, but we have to remain firm so that we never, for any reason, allow Satan to use those who are weak — whether brothers or sisters — to knock us off our own firm footing. As I mentioned briefly, Satan also uses false friends, just as I mentioned false brethren in the church, he also uses false friends. Sometimes these false friends aren't churchgoers at all — they're people from the street. And without a doubt, I know the great majority of you who have understanding and revelation will recognize that in the past, especially before knowing the Lord, Satan used people — I know this happened to many of you, women and men — he used people close to you who approached as a friend and gave you something cursed to eat, gave you something cursed to drink. It even happened to me, obviously back when I wasn't with God, and later, with time, once you're with the Lord, He opens your eyes, He gives you understanding — wow, so that's what happened.
In fact, about three days ago I ministered to a gentleman here from Texas, from Houston. While I was ministering to him, at one point, he saw a vision of something that had happened, because he was in very bad shape — extreme anxiety, he could barely breathe, he felt like he was suffocating, it was something very intense, and he'd already had this condition for about two months. As I ministered to him, the Lord brought to his mind that it all started the day after someone invited him to eat something — they gave him something to eat, and the very next day he got extremely sick, and from then on he was in very bad shape. He's a Christian, but from a church in apostasy, and they gave him something cursed to eat. So the devil uses false friends this way, having them approach someone in order to curse them, and this happens far more often than you can imagine. Some will say, well, I haven't had that experience — you haven't had that experience because you haven't discerned it. But in many cases when people suddenly fall ill with some sickness, it's because Satan used someone close to them to curse them. Satan uses false friends, and again, there are two types of these false friends: the conscious ones and the unwitting ones. The conscious ones are witches — undercover agents, as I call them, of Satan; they're witches and warlocks, and Satan sends them to sit in church. In almost every church, especially the bigger ones, there are regularly two or three witches or warlocks who pass themselves off as brothers and sisters, but they're there to curse — they curse the pastor, curse the pastor's children, curse the pastor's wife, and curse the members. But people don't notice, unless we're walking in the spirit, unless the Lord is giving revelation, prophecy, or discernment to someone, dreams, or unless there's an intense life of prayer like we have here — otherwise people don't notice. They simply attend, they get sick within the congregation, there are problems, there's discord, there are conflicts that all end badly, and nobody even realizes why. Pastors end up splitting apart, and many others too, and they don't even know why — it's because Satan sends witches and warlocks who pass themselves off as brethren, or sends friendships that pass themselves off as friends, especially targeting those who aren't very firm. The word is clear: do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. So if we say we're with Christ but we have a supposedly close friendship with people who aren't with God, we've already opened a little door, and Satan uses it. Don't send friendships there that don't treat you well — if they're experts, I can tell you from my own experience, some of the people the Lord very clearly showed me — well, out of ignorance, because at that time I wasn't with the Lord — one of them, there were several, one of them had, once when I went to his house, I saw that he had an altar to Santa Muerte in his room, but for me at that time Santa Muerte seemed like a religion, because in Mexico people worship it as if it were a religion, and I had no understanding of witchcraft at that time. But very clearly, that person treated me supposedly well, like a friend, treated me nicely, would suddenly bring me breakfast, would show up out of nowhere at my job and bring me breakfast. I thought, wow, how kind — but it was to curse me; it was curses being given to me as food. Then, when they have a need, they lend you money, and now they put cursed money into it, to cause you to fall into heavy debt, so that you can never get out of debt, unless that curse is broken. So everything that comes from these people, even though it seems good, because they do things that appear good, that supposedly try to solve your problems — sometimes they themselves contribute to causing the problem, because they curse you first so your vehicle breaks down, and then they supposedly come to lend you money to fix the vehicle, but really to curse you even more. We need to have understanding — it's not that we should be judging the person, but we should have our eyes open, we should understand that this can happen. We are to be gentle as doves and wise as serpents. So if we're alert, then when the devil sends someone to harm us, the Lord will more easily be able to give us understanding — we'll catch it, and we won't have to suffer the way we did in the past; we won't have to get seriously sick, if we understand this, because then we pray, we break whatever has happened, and it ends there. But if we're ignorant, a curse of sickness comes and we end up in very poor health, or a curse on the marriage, and we don't break anything, and we end up divorced, separated. Proverbs 19:4, Wealth makes many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.
Regarding money — through money, when there's money, many people come around; they come around for the money. Those aren't true friends; if they're coming around for the money, that's a relationship that started off wrong. Proverbs 27:6, Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. A true friend sometimes says words that don't sit well, that aren't pleasant, because — well, maybe you don't want to hear them — but because there's true friendship, because there's fear of God, those words are faithful. But the enemy, the false friend, gives you a kiss, a hug, but with it he's cursing you, just like Judas, who betrayed the Lord with a kiss.
Science — there are two sciences: the science from above, the spiritual one that comes from God, and the science of the world. Science — I know this is hard for many people, especially here in the United States, and really all over the world right now — where the world practically teaches us to depend on science in almost everything we do, as if we fully trust science completely, and even many pastors say, obviously, as if the world's science and the science from above were the same thing. In the church, many want to teach that we should trust science completely, and in the church, really almost everyone — because of the culture, the whole world right now, Satan deceives the world.
We've been taught to accept everything that comes from science as settled, as if scientists already approved it — if scientists said yes, if it's supposedly already proven, then it's good, and that's a lie. Satan uses science enormously for the destruction of the world. Even the mark of the beast, which many will receive, and because of which many will not be able to be saved, comes through science.
For many of you out there, I know many are afraid, because you've already heard a lot about the shot — I can't say it too clearly — that they gave people for the end-time plague, for the recent plague, because if I mention it too much they shut down the channel. Last year they shut down about four of my channels — four times we had to start over last year, because four channels got shut down for mentioning that. But that shot, for example, came through science. Because of that shot, although many believe it's the mark of the beast, I don't believe it's the mark of the beast, but I am convinced it's a twin — like a little brother of the mark of the beast, at the very least.
And without a doubt, a great deal of wickedness enters through that shot — end-time wickedness that controls the mind, the personality, the character, and that wages war within a person. For those who have already gotten that shot, their salvation is definitely more difficult, because very strong demons entered that control everything. It's a very great contamination, a tremendous amount of wickedness.
I don't think it's the mark of the beast at all, but those who got it definitely have many stumbling blocks in their path, and they need to seek God with all their heart and seek a lot of deliverance — all of them who got it — because many end-time demons entered through it. But the point is that it entered through science. Science.
The devil is the real problem — the plague, that plague is demons. Many churches don't understand this because they don't live a strong life of prayer, but in my own personal case, since the pandemic started, I had the opportunity to pray for many people, and I'd say in about 8 out of 10, almost all of them, demons manifested carrying that name, the name of the pandemic. And in some cases, when I managed to cast it all out at once, the people were healed immediately.
In other cases it was a battle, because they resisted and only part of it came out, but the person improved a lot, and after one, two, or three ministry sessions, the person ended up completely healed. But our struggle is not against flesh and blood. So through science they show you that this plague is something purely physical, and if we're carnal, that's what we believe.
But if we understand that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spirits — well, then science gives you a solution: death puts this shot in you and it's going to protect you — but that's a lie.
How many of those who got it have already died? How many did that very shot kill? There's a lot they don't tell you, because it's part of Satan's agenda, and that shot was necessary to advance Satan's agenda, because through it, much more power was given to Satan throughout the whole world, and many demons now strongly grip people's minds with great anger, great violence. You can even see it right here in the United States, the violence where people suddenly get killed, killed over nothing, out of nowhere. That shot has a lot to do with it.
Through that shot, many demons entered people, demons that harden the heart, dry it out, and take total control of the mind with great hatred, so that it becomes easy for someone to go kill as if it were nothing. So a great deal of wickedness entered through that. But in 1 Timothy 6:20 the word says.
O Timothy, guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge — by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
Through science many have strayed from the faith — not just now, but from ancient times, from ancient times. Through science, when someone is sick, they don't seek God, they go to the doctors instead. Because the world's science teaches you that if your head hurts, you need to go buy yourself a Tylenol.
If your chest hurts or your back hurts, you put on Vicks. If this hurts, you put on that, a menthol rub. If your finger hurts, you put something on it.
The point is that for everything, supposedly, none of those things involve God. Because of science, people seek doctors, not God. And because of that, they're in very bad shape.
Because of science, people drift from the faith. Because of science, there's no truly genuine faith in God. If science didn't exist and people put their faith in God, I believe there would hardly be any sick people.
Because if people sought God, the kingdom of darkness would already be shattered, and people would be healed right now, on the spot. Many teach, even in the church, that God's science and science from below go hand in hand, or that science and religion go hand in hand too. That's a lie, that's a diabolical deception.
Science says, for example, that they only believe what can be proven. One of the fundamental things about science is that they only believe what can be proven. But the word says, blessed are those who believe without seeing.
So you can see that even in that alone, they're already like oil and water — completely opposed. Science says if something isn't proven, it cannot be believed. But God says, blessed is the one who believes without seeing.
It's like two totally opposite doctrines, oil and water — they practically can't mix. There's a scientist who said several things.
One is that any religion contrary to science is not the truth. That any religion, meaning any doctrine that contradicts science, is not the truth. But I say the opposite.
Every scientific study that contradicts the doctrine of Jesus Christ, the doctrine of the disciples, is false. To science, anything that contradicts science is not true. But to me, as a disciple of the Lord, anything that contradicts the doctrine of Jesus Christ is a lie.
Others say that material science and divine science must agree and correspond with each other. This is a diabolical lie. Because divine science, which comes from God, through His Spirit, teaches us to understand things in a spiritual way.
With the science that comes from God, we learn to understand, to discern, to grasp things in a spiritual way. But the word says that spiritual things seem like foolishness to the natural man, to the carnal man, because he cannot understand them. How will a carnal man, someone who walks with their focus on the world's science, understand the things of God, if what belongs to God even seems like foolishness to them?
The science from above teaches us to think and understand things spiritually. But the carnal science from below teaches us to understand and grasp things carnally. But the desires of the flesh, what is according to the flesh, is against the spirit.
In a word, carnal science and spiritual science are also two very different, totally different paths. They're not the same thing, they have nothing in common — it's a lie. Some of them say that any science, any religious belief that doesn't hold up to scientific testing and investigation is superstition.
Because true science is reason and reality. That's how those who teach scientists according to science think. But this is blasphemy, it's a lie.
Because how, then, can they believe that God made a man from dust? According to science they can't prove it. So they automatically prefer to believe they descended from monkeys. But maybe it was they who came from a monkey.
Not me — I was created by God. Because according to science, they can't explain how a person was made from dust — much less how the Lord then put the man to sleep and, from one rib, made a whole woman.
Let them explain to me, scientifically, how God did that. In a word, science leads a person to become an atheist. The end result of science is the same as a false religion — it's like a religion that turns a person into an enemy of God.
Through science, a spirit of rationalism enters. People want to rationalize everything, but through human reason we cannot understand spiritual things. So we end up rejecting it, resisting it, just because we can't understand it.
How is it possible that cancer could be a demon, if I have cancer right here? That cancer is cast out as a demon — even though carnal reasoning can't understand it — and if we pray in faith, those demons manifest and come out, and the person is healed. But science says, no, you have to go get chemotherapy and do this and that. And they put you through a process that ends up destroying your body even more.
Whereas if we had a little faith, even if we don't fully understand it, we would seek true help from a person anointed by God, and people would be healed. There would be far, far fewer deaths from sickness if people sought God instead of seeking doctors, seeking science. Romans 11:33.
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! His judgments — who can understand the judgments of God? How could the world's science ever understand the greatness of a God so great that He created this entire world? How can science explain that the Lord sustains everything visible and invisible by the power of His word? They cannot explain it. How can something finite explain what is infinite? It cannot.
It cannot explain it. The world's science cannot explain the eternal God, much less enter into His mind, because the mind of God is very great. Heaven is His throne, and the earth is His footstool.
Another thing Satan uses, which goes hand in hand with science, which we've already talked about a little, is medicine. There's so much more that could be said about science. There are many other ways Satan uses science to draw us away from God.
Certainly, there are things from science that are useful, like vehicles and certain other things we can use, but we must be very careful. I'd say the first thing is to seek God. Why does Satan differ so little from angels of light? And sometimes it's also hard to understand.
It's difficult — if we're not seeking God with all our heart, we stumble. Because if people say, look, so many people are dying, so oh, you need to get this shot to strengthen you — unless we're walking spiritually, unless we understand clearly that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and unless we understand the word of God clearly, then the most sensible thing, according to the flesh, seems to be to go get that shot, because that's how we rationalize it in the flesh, and that's normal. But if we walk in the spirit, if we walk in the spirit, then we can understand that God created this body, that it's the temple of the Holy Spirit, and that we have many promises of healing in His word.
And now we're going to read some verses that speak about medicine. I don't know if you can look this up — I'll suggest you search out the verses, do a Google search to make it easier, verses about medicine, and meditate on all of them, and you'll realize that since ancient times, when there were sick people, the Lord sent them to the priests of the church, they performed a ritual, and that's how they were healed.
Practically every verse that talks about medicine, I'd say, does so in a negative way. I don't see a single verse in the Bible, either in the Old Testament or the New, that speaks of medicine as something positive or good. But there are many verses that clearly show that God is the one who heals us, that God is essentially the one who heals us.
I'm just going to read a few verses. We have 2 Chronicles 16:12-13. In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and though his malady was severe, yet in his disease he did not seek the Lord, but the physicians.
In the forty-first year of his reign, Asa died and was buried with his ancestors. Now I want you to pay attention here. What is the word saying? What is the Lord saying? He's drawing a distinction — that Asa sought the physicians and did not seek God.
In a word, whoever seeks the doctors is not seeking God. That makes sense, can anyone understand that? The Lord is drawing a distinction.
Even though his disease was severe, he did not seek Me, says the Lord. He went to the physicians. In other words, the physicians are not Mine.
He went somewhere else to seek his help. Even though it was serious, he still did not seek Me, says the Lord. Can you understand that?
So, whoever seeks the physicians is not seeking God, according to the word. Mark 5:26: And she had spent all her money on physicians, but they had not been able to heal her.
On the contrary, they had caused her much suffering, and each day she grew worse. This speaks of the woman with the issue of blood, who had spent everything. She had sought the physicians and spent everything she had.
That's what happens through medicine. Satan holds the person enslaved. Many people don't have money for God, don't have money for personal needs, but this is a form of bondage.
Medicine leads to bondage. Even here in the United States, I was reading that among people who earn around $90,000 a year, I think it's about 80% who have medical debt. I don't remember exactly if it was 80%, it was something I read quickly, but I know it's a huge percentage here in the United States — people earning around $90,000 a year and still carrying medical debt.
Medicine is a form of bondage. People spend everything they have. For example, people come here to a church like this and get healed of anything — HIV, anything at all, even incurable things — and they don't pay anything, they don't even give an offering.
But then to have doctors simply confirm that they were healed, they go pay $100, $200. It's a form of bondage. Someone comes and gets healed here, and gives nothing here.
But to have someone else just tell them whether they're healed, just to confirm it, they'll hand over $100. That is bondage, that is a deception. But Satan does it in a subtle way.
He does it through fear, because he instills fear in you, you always want confirmation, for different reasons, obviously — but at the end of the day, medicine, one of the things it does, is lead to bondage. Most of the time, they tell you there's no cure — take this for the rest of your life and you'll be fine — but then after a year that little pill damages another organ, or they tell you the pill did this or that to you.
That pill damaged your organ, damaged your kidneys, now you have to take this other pill for your kidneys. But this pill still says it can cause liver problems, headaches, and who knows what else.
The bones. And they take that other one, now they're on two pills after two years. And then, by year three, now their liver is damaged, something else is damaged, and that pill means now you have to take this other one for that, and now they're up to four pills.
It's bondage, a bondage that leads nowhere good. And then when another organ gets damaged, they have to remove an organ. And the point is it ends up being the very opposite of what it's supposedly meant to heal — as I see it, it's what ends up destroying the body.
It's simply like a poison for the body, that goes on destroying it, wearing it down more and more from the inside, damaging one organ after another, until the person is left completely disabled. But it's a bondage — people become slaves to it. And every time Satan wants to do something, many demons enter through it.
Now I'm going to say some things that some of you, those without understanding, are going to hate me for. But those with a little understanding are going to understand. Even the logo of medicine — what does the logo have? A serpent.
Who knows who the coiled serpent represents? It's the devil, Satan. Look up Baphomet, search Baphomet on Google, and look at the image of Baphomet. And you'll see that he has something, a standing staff, which represents the male member, perversion.
And there's the coiled serpent. Look at that staff, and the logo that appears on the cup, and in other places, and you'll see it's the same one — the one on the ambulance is the same staff. In a word, that serpent drawn on the ambulance, on the back and elsewhere, clearly represents satan.
At the pharmacy there's a cup with a coiled serpent, which is also another logo of medicine. Who is that serpent coiled around that cup? It's the serpent's venom when people drink that stuff. So it's a deception, it's satan's deception — because if you also look up the meaning of the word medicine, it means witchcraft and other things. So satan uses medicine to bind us.
Why does this matter? Because things like this are keeping every church enslaved. We are in the great apostasy. How are people going to fight against satan and have authority over him when they're already enslaved? If he already has you enslaved through medicine — well, something I've very clearly come to understand, which has manifested hundreds and hundreds of times over these years, is that many demons enter through it.
Through every type of medication, especially psychiatric medications, many demons enter. And then these demons grow stronger with every different medication, and more and more of them enter. So if a person wants to resist, let's say I'm enslaved to medication and I want to fight against them — well, all they have to do is torment me from within, and there I go running back to the doctor.
That's why many pastors want to pray, or supposedly want to, and — oh! — if they have a pain and have to run off to the doctor, well, they're enslaved. And the demons control them from the inside. So, to be able to fight, we cannot love our lives to the point of avoiding death.
Because if we're slaves, how do we fight against the one enslaving us? It's a bit complicated. To truly be free, we have to be willing to die. Whoever does not love his life will save it.
But whoever loves his life will lose it. Medicine is a tool Satan uses to bind people. In Job 13:4, Job speaks — Job became sick.
It was at that time, while he was sick, that the Lord allowed Satan to do things to him. But Job did not seek the physicians. He was completely sick, completely afflicted, and yet he had understanding.
Worthless physicians are you all, he says. Because he knew that medicine, in reality, wasn't good. In Matthew 9:12, when He heard this, He said — here it's speaking of the Lord Jesus — those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
This is one of the verses people twist. Oh, see there, the Lord said people need medicine. No.
What He meant there is that He is the Physician. That He is the one who heals. Because there were many who were unwell — sinners, sick people, and so on.
He spoke with all of them. Others criticized Him, saying, oh, look, this one associates with sinners. But the Lord knew that these people, those who were sick physically and spiritually, needed Him, and He was the physician who healed them.
He never sent anyone away; to the woman with the issue of blood, He did not say, go to another physician, see if another physician can heal you. No. She simply touched Him, and she was healed.
He didn't even have to speak to her, He didn't even have to say a word. She had a little faith, and simply touching Him was enough for her to be healed. She had already spent everything she had.
She had already spent everything, and she simply touched the Lord and was healed. A little faith. Psalm 107:17-20: Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near to the gates of death. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses. He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
Here the word, in this psalm, says they were already on the brink of death. Why? Because of their rebellions. Here it's stating a cause of why there is so much sickness in the world, so many things.
Because of our rebellions, because of our sin, because of our wickedness. But here it says they were already on the brink of death. When they were already nearly in hell, already at death's door, they turned to the Lord, cried out to Him, and the Lord simply sent His word and healed them.
It's not talking about real medicine there. Do you want true healing? Do as they did here — turn your heart to the Lord. Cry out to Him with faith and set your heart on doing His will.
Follow the truth, not a religion, not a false truth, because there are many deceivers out there. It is the truth that sets us free. But if you set your heart on following the truth, on knowing the truth, loving it, following it, obeying it, then you will understand and receive true healing, and you will come to know true medicine.
And what comes from the Lord does not come with bondage. The world's medicine brings chains and bondage, as I've just shared with you. It's a diabolical system you don't come out of.
Well, you don't come out well. People come out with a part cut off, with more organs damaged, and they end up dead. But what comes from God breaks chains.
It cleanses not only your own chains but generational chains too. What is impossible for doctors — like HIV, diabetes, and other things — is nothing to Him. There are several testimonies, for example, we have several testimonies of people who had diabetes, and there are medical tests and even recorded videos, of when they tested positive at the doctor's, and then they go back to the doctor again.
And what did you do? How is it possible you don't have diabetes? What happened? You no longer have diabetes? How is that possible? The doctors still say, oh — well, someone prayed for me. That's not possible, they say, but they can't explain it. Even when the person tells them, someone prayed for me, that's why I was healed of diabetes.
And I say, no, it's not possible — how is it that being healed of diabetes is impossible, when diabetes has no cure? To science it has no cure. But to the Almighty who created this body — didn't He create it from dust? What is it to Him to heal diabetes, or heal cancer, or heal HIV? What is it to Him? To the One who created all things, what is it to heal a sickness? If He created man from dust, if He made a whole woman from a man's rib, what is it to Him to heal something that's been damaged? Exodus 23:25.
So you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from the midst of you. Do you want true medicine? Do you want true healing? Turn your heart to the Lord, worship Him in spirit and in truth, not merely with songs. Because the world teaches that to worship God you have to sing — but to worship God you don't have to sing, to worship God you have to be obedient.
The Lord wants to be worshiped in the heart, with a pure conduct, separated from the world, separated from lies, deceit, and falsehood, and living according to His word. That is the worship the Lord wants — obedience. As He said to His chosen people, it was He.
This people worships Me in vain, they worship Me with their mouth, but their heart is far from Me. The Lord does not want us to worship Him merely with our mouths, nor with flattering little words, nor with songs. The Lord wants us to worship Him with our heart, with a pure conduct.
Waiting on His word, in obedience — this is the worship the Lord wants. If you do this, if you seek God with all your heart, but for that worship to be genuine, the heart must be willing to turn away from all evil. Because if you say you love Him and supposedly keep His word, but you don't turn away from paganism, from idolatry, and from false worship.
It also does you no good to say, I love the Lord, and I'm going to read the word every day, I'm going to fast, I'm going to pray and be obedient — but then you keep going on in pagan practices, keep fornicating, keep living in lies, and don't turn away from evil. Well, that isn't worship either.
The Lord wants us to keep ourselves unspotted from the world, to separate ourselves from the world. That worship pleases God. And if you do that, then yes, He is faithful, and He will take away all sickness from you.
He will take it away. He uses people, His servants, His disciples, to heal you. If you seek God with all your heart, He sends people, His chosen and anointed servants, He places them in your path, and He places you in their path, so that you will be healed.
He does it. The Lord always does what He promises, if you do what He commands. 1 Timothy 4:8: For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
Physical exercise, doctors recommend it, and physical exercise does have some benefit, a little, as the word says. The word doesn't say physical exercise is bad — it profits a little. But godliness, a noble heart, doing what is right — this profits abundantly.
Proverbs 4:20-22: My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings; do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. As the word says here, do not let His word depart from your heart, for it is medicine — the word of God is medicine to those who find it. Do you want true medicine, do you desire true medicine? Don't let the word of God depart from you.
Listen to the word of God, treasure it in your hearts — this is medicine. In the word of God you will find healing, not only for the physical body, but also for your soul. And most importantly, if you keep it, you will also find eternal life, abundant life, and a peace — not the kind of peace the world gives.
Proverbs 17:22: A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones. Do you want more medicine? A cheerful heart. The word says a broken spirit dries the bones, but a cheerful heart is good medicine.
Here the word is telling us things — that if there truly is wisdom in these words, if we truly understand them, receive them, and do what they command, then we will truly find true healing for our body and our soul. Proverbs 3:7-8: Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones. Here the word tells us, once again, not to be wise in our own understanding, but to turn away from all evil and to fear the Lord, because His word, His way, is refreshment for our soul and healing for our body.
If we do this, if we turn our whole heart to the Lord, if we turn away from evil as the word commands, then certainly, the One who wrote this word is faithful to fulfill it. And just as it's written, so it happens — the Lord is faithful, He always, always does what He promises, He neither slumbers nor grows weary, He is never tired or distracted, He is the Almighty and He always fulfills His promises, if we do what He commands us. And to conclude, I'm going to read Proverbs 29:1: He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
So, whoever hardens their heart, whoever grows proud, those who don't want to receive correction, will be broken, and for them there will be no remedy — because in order to receive the healing that comes from God, we must be willing to listen to the correction that comes from Him. God bless you, I hope this word has been an edification to you. We conclude the teaching, but I now invite everyone to stand and let's pray for a few minutes.
Another way to receive the true healing that comes from God is, as we're about to do right now, through prayer — prayer from people He is using, people who are anointed by Him. Through the prayer of someone anointed by God — that's also, I'd say, the most reliable way, in this time of grace we're living in, to receive the healing that comes from God. I heal every person within the sound of my voice with the blood of Jesus Christ.
I heal every member of our loved ones with the blood of Jesus Christ. We come against every sickness, every chain and shackle that has been placed through witchcraft, through false medicine, through science, through deception. We bind the serpent of medicine, in the name of Jesus.
Let the light shine in the midst of all the powers of darkness that have come against us, in the name of Jesus. The gates of Hades will not prevail against the church of God. Greater is He who is with us than he who is in the world.
Every sickness within the sound of my voice, I rebuke you, in the name of Jesus. Let fire come down and destroy every sickness, in the name of Jesus Christ. Pain in the bones, come out, in the name of Jesus.
Joint pain, out, in the name of Jesus Christ. Muscle pain, out, in the name of Jesus. Let fire come down and consume every power of darkness that causes pain, in the name of Jesus.

I cover every vehicle and every kind of electronic device, cell phones, and phones belonging to everyone who is part of this church and to everyone who follows along and has believed, with the blood of Jesus Christ.
Every curse smeared or cast upon vehicles or electronics, I cancel it, in the name of Jesus. Every altar that has been made out of envy, representing what you have, in order to destroy it, I cancel it, in the name of Jesus Christ. Every curse of Santa Muerte, and every curse of ruin, destruction, scarcity, and misery against each one of you, I cancel it, in the name of Jesus.
Let there be fire and light around all your belongings, in the name of Jesus. Every power of darkness that has been deployed, sent to damage what belongs to you, let it burn, in the name of Jesus. There is power in the name of Jesus Christ.
The gates of Hades will not prevail against the church of God. Greater is He who is with us than he who is in the world. Let fire come down and destroy the whole army of the enemy, in the name of Jesus.
Let there be division among all the powers of darkness, let them divide and attack one another, in the name of Jesus. I cover the work of each of your hands with the blood of Jesus Christ. Every curse causing everything you undertake to fail, I break it, in the name of Jesus.
Every curse of unemployment, of closed doors, of no opportunities, I cancel it, in the name of Jesus Christ. Everything that was blocking your path, let it catch fire and burn, in the name of Jesus. I strike all darkness with the light; let fire come down and destroy all darkness, in the name of Jesus Christ.
I cover all the children of those who are part of this church, and of those who follow along and have believed, and everyone within the sound of my voice, with the blood of Jesus Christ. Let every work of darkness against our children disintegrate by the blood of Jesus Christ. Everything that controls the mind, the personality, the character, the behavior — every work of darkness against them — let it disintegrate, in the name of Jesus.

The gates of Hades will not prevail against the church of God. Greater is He who is with us than he who is in the world. I bless each one of you within the sound of my voice, in the name of Jesus.
And thank you all for being with us. Until next time.
