I want to share with you
something that
God showed me from
the Scriptures.
And I believe it’s
going to bless you.
Remember, I shared with you
about the spirit, soul, and body?
You see, you are a spirit.
That’s the breath of God.
When God made man,
God breathed into man
and you became a spirit,
then you have a soul
and you live in a body. Okay?
So your spirit, soul, and body,
Let’s look at this illustration of
the spirit, soul, and body.
So you are a spirit.
That’s the real you.
And then you have a mind,
a soul, and you have a body.
In Romans 8, it says this
in verse 10:
“If Christ is in you,”
and He is for all believers,
“the body is dead
because of sin.”
Now here’s where we
can be in despair
and start thinking:
“Wow, what’s the point then?”
“Our body is dead,
even though Christ is in us,”
“the body is still dead
because of sin.”
But no, keep on reading,
but the spirit is what?
“life because of righteousness.”
But you can say:
“Pastor Prince, the body is dead,
“but the spirit is life,”
but it’s not affecting my body.”
“My body is still dead.”
No, friend.
Keep on reading.
The Spirit is life because of?
Remember this:
“Because of righteousness.”
You have been made the
righteousness of God in Christ.
Remember that?
That’s
a gift of righteousness
and you have received that.
Now the next verse tells you:
“But if the Spirit of Him”
“who raised Jesus from
the dead dwells in you,”
“He who raised Christ from
the dead will also give life”
“to your mortal bodies, through
His Spirit who dwells in you.”
Hallelujah.
One more time.
“If the Spirit of Him who
raised Jesus from the dead”
“dwells in you.”
Does He dwell in you?
The same Holy Spirit that
raised Jesus from the dead?
Yes.
If you’re a believer, then
He who raised Christ
from the dead will also
give life to what?
To your mortal bodies.
Friend, this is not the rapture.
This is not the second coming
of the Lord because we’ll
receive a brand-new
incorruptible body.
But here, He will give life
to your (present tense)
mortal bodies, your
here and now bodies.
That same body that is
subject to decay.
There is disease and death
in that body.
That’s why it is called mortal.
So this life that comes from
the Holy Spirit is to give life
to your mortal bodies.
A lot of people take
this verse and say
it will happen in the rapture.
No, friend.
It is giving life
to your mortal bodies.
In the rapture, we receive
an incorruptible body.
Here is giving life to
your mortal bodies.
I hope that you see that.
Okay?
Do you see the wonderful
triune God, twice in this one verse?
Look at the first part.
“If the Spirit of Him,”
the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit is the Holy Spirit.
“of Him,” that’s the Father,
“who raised Jesus,” that’s the Son,
“from the dead dwells in you.”
“He, the Father, who raised
Christ the Son from the dead,”
“will also gave life to your
mortal bodies through His Spirit,”
the Holy Spirit who dwells in you.
The triune God is mentioned
twice in one verse.
I think God is calling
our attention.
He is saying just like
when He created man,
He was personally involved.
His love, His care, His grace.
So how much more when
it comes to your body?
You’re receiving life.
Friend,
God wants you to be healthy.
God wants you to be strong.
And just in one verse,
the triune God is mentioned twice.
Hallelujah!
Isn’t this something that
will grip you?
And friend, it is to give life
to your mortal body.
But you say that
the Bible says:
“Even though Christ is in me,
Pastor, the body is dead,”
“even though my spirit’s alive,”
But no friend, read carefully.
The next verse says:
“The Holy Spirit raised Jesus
from the dead.”
“He will give life to your
mortal bodies.”
It must be something to do
with righteousness because
Here it says in the verse
before that:
“The Spirit is life because
of righteousness.”
The Spirit is life because
of righteousness.
And this entire Romans 8.
This is Romans 8.
If you read the first part
of Romans 8.
It starts off by saying:
“There is therefore now
no condemnation to those”
“who are in Christ.”
And then it goes on to say:
“For the law of the Spirit of life
“in Christ Jesus has made me
free from the law of sin and death.”
And then it goes on to tell you
on and on, the first part about
setting your mind on the Spirit
and not on the flesh.
It tells you to be to be
spiritually-minded and
not carnally-minded,
material-minded.
In other words, it
is telling you this.
Don’t be conscious of
what is carnal,
It’s all in your mind,
your consciousness.
And it goes to talk about:
Set your mind on the Spirit.
For those who set their mind,
on the Spirit is life.
That’s the word “life“ and “peace.“
“Shalom” in the Hebrew,
which is also wellbeing,
wholeness, life and wellbeing,
life and wholeness.
To set your mind on the Spirit.
So let’s look at the
illustration again.
Alright?
It says your spirit is born again.
For those who believe on Christ,
all believers, your
spirit is alive to God.
Amen.
That’s where you are
born again. Spirit.
Now your spirit is also righteous.
We are created in righteousness
and true holiness.
So Romans 8 tells you:
before the Holy Spirit,
who raised Jesus from the dead,
can give life to your mortal body,
which is the next verse.
It tells you that the Spirit is alive
because of righteousness,
You have been made righteous!
Hallelujah.
So there’s power, my friend.
In confessing: “I am the
righteousness of God in Christ.”
So the Spirit is life because
of righteousness.
And then in Romans 8,
it tells you what?
Set your mind on the Spirit.
In other words, what’s there
in the Spirit?
Praise the Lord.
You are righteous.
Your Spirit is life
because of righteousness
so set your mind on
righteousness, friend.
Set your mind on the fact
that you are the
righteousness of God in Christ.
Confess: “I am the righteousness
of God in Christ.”
Confess it, believe it.
And walk in it.
Hallelujah.
Praise the Lord.
The more you confess it,
the more you believe it,
the more you set your mind
on this, it is spirit and life!
Praise the Lord, and then,
watch this.
That life, that zoe life
in your spirit.
If you set your mind on it,
it will permeate the soul.
That’s your emotions, right?
Your emotional realm,
your mental realm,
your mind realm.
That’s where depression attacks.
Well, when that life flows
into your mind,
out goes depression.
Praise the Lord.
And then when your mind,
the mind is like a bridge
between the spirit and the body.
Can you see that?
It is the go-between,
in other words,
if your soul breaks down,
if you don’t get this revelation,
you do not know.
Mentally refers to your mind.
Soul is the mind, right?
And the emotions, if mentally,
you’re not setting your mind
on the fact that you are
the righteousness of God in Christ,
there’s a breakdown.
But if you know,
and you confess it,
praise God, thank God for
all the ministries that point you
to that wonderful righteousness
that’s available, that
gift of righteousness
through Christ Jesus.
He came to give you that righteousness,
that gift of righteousness.
It is not something you
achieve, alright?
That’s why pride is
self-righteousness
But it is something that
you receive, praise the Lord.
A gift of righteousness.
Isn’t it wonderful?
And you set your mind.
Once you know that, it means
your mind is aware of it.
The consciousness is so important,
then it will affect your body.
It is a bridge to your body.
The spirit cannot just touch the body.
And where is the Holy Spirit?
He is also in your spirit!
So the spirit cannot touch the body
until the mind plays the bridge.
And the mind must be touched
by the fact that you have,
you are the righteousness
of God in Christ
and the life that is in the
spirit will touch the body.
And that’s when the
next verse comes in.
“The Holy Spirit will quicken
your mortal body.”
“He will give life to your mortal body,
through His Spirit who dwells in you.”
Hallelujah.
Man, I just preached myself happy.
I don’t know about you, man,
but I feel I can tear
a lion apart like Samson,
hallelujah. Praise the Lord.
I pray in Jesus’ name.
You receive that life, my friend!
Hallelujah!
So friend,
in the past, even the
Gospels, healing was outside in.
And we still pray for people.
Don’t misunderstand me. Alright?
We still pray for people.
We go and pray for them.
But I believe that God has
a realm whereby, you know,
He wants that life on the inside
to permeate our soul
and then touch our body.
Amen.
He wants us to walk in that
resurrection life.
That’s what He’s revealing to us.
Amen.
Now that believers are here.
Amen.
When I say believers, it is
those who are born again.
Alright, the disciples were believers.
Don’t misunderstand me.
They were followers,
but they were not born again.
They cannot be born again
because Christ has not yet died
and not yet risen from the dead.
So after Christ died, believers
have the Holy Spirit in them.
Yes, now we are a living, walking
mobile life of God and
the power of God and the
healing of God touching
those who are sick and afflicted.
Yes.
And that’s God’s ministry
for you, friend.
But realize for yourself.
God wants that life on the
inside to touch you.
It is from the inside-out.
Today, it is from the inside-out.
Amen.
And the Holy Spirit wants to
give life to your mortal body,
But where’s the Holy Spirit?
He is inside you.
So there seems to be like
a hindrance if I can say so.
And it’s got to do
with the soul realm,
the soul is not renewed.
The mind is not
renewed in this area.
The soul is still very carnal.
In other words, sense-ruled.
It is conscious of its sins
and its failures and
the bodily ailments and the
darkness in this world.
So it is not set on the Spirit.
And that’s why preaching like this
will help people to set their minds
on the Spirit.
I want to pray for your bodies
right now in the name of Jesus.
If there’s affliction in any way,
there’s a loved one that is
in the hospital right now.
You know, you can even
send that word by proxy,
praise the Lord.
Because you know why?
God sends His Word.
There’s a verse that says:
“He sent His Word.” Amen.
And the Word of God is in
the timeless, spaceless realm.
So God can touch him
right where he is. Amen.
Lift your hands wherever
you’re watching this right now.
Now, if you are afflicted in that
area of your body,
wherever you are, right?
Just place your hand there. Amen.
If you do not know where to
place your hand,
just place your hand
on your forehead.
Thank you Father.
In the name of Jesus,
that healing belongs to Your people.
Healing belongs to us.
Wholeness belongs to us.
And You are not satisfied,
Lord Jesus, just for us to have
a trickle of life, just a
little dab here, Lord.
You want us to have
life more abundantly
and I thank You for that Lord Jesus.
What a heart! I praise You.
And thank You, Lord, that
as you look at all these people
that are suffering in the
different parts of their bodies,
I thank You that You stand ready,
Lord, to touch them, to heal them.
And even right now in the
name of Jesus,
I want you to pray this
prayer with me, friend.
Because it’s going to
release that life,
that resurrection life on the
inside to touch your body.
Say this right now
before the Father.
“Father, I thank You that
You have made me”
“the righteousness
of God in Christ.”
Say that!
“I am the righteousness
of God in Christ.”
“All my sins, past, present,
and future have all been removed.”
“I thank You that Your life,
Your resurrection life is in my spirit.”
“Now, in the name of Jesus,
let it flow into my mind,”
“let it flow into my emotions,
let it flow into my soul.”
“And in the name of the
Lord Jesus, heal my body.”
“Let it touch my body right now
in the name of the”
“Lord Jesus Christ.”
Amen.
I command that foul
spirit of infirmity
that’s afflicting your body
right now.
I command you in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Loose him in the name
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And let him go in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen. Amen. Amen.
