Hey everyone, welcome to the Authentic Podcast.

7

: 00:00:38

My name is Christian and I've been a Christian for most of my life, dedicating myself to

not only studying the Bible, but truly living it out.

8

: 00:00:47

Together with my amazing wife, we co -founded a Christian nonprofit with a heart for

sharing the love of Christ with the world.

9

: 00:00:55

Not only am I passionate about our nonprofit, but also teaching God's word and helping

others experience His truth in a powerful and authentic way.

10

: 00:01:05

If you're ready to grow in your faith, you just happen to be in the right place.

11

: 00:01:09

Alright, let's dive in.

12

: 00:01:11

The gift of healing is one of the nine spiritual gifts listed in 1 Corinthians chapter 12

verses 8 to 10, where the apostle Paul explains the diverse ways in which the Holy Spirit

13

: 00:01:22

empowers believers.

14

: 00:01:24

This particular gift stands out as a supernatural manifestation of God's power and it

enables believers to minister physical, emotional, and even spiritual healing to those in

15

: 00:01:37

need.

16

: 00:01:38

Healing is not limited to physical ailments, but includes holistic restoration.

17

: 00:01:44

This emphasizes God's desire for the wholeness of his people.

18

: 00:01:49

1 Corinthians chapter 12 verse 9 mentions the gifts of healing, which is plural.

19

: 00:01:54

indicating that this is a varied and multifaceted gift.

20

: 00:01:59

Healing in scripture is a central theme reflective of Jesus' ministry where he

consistently healed the sick, restored sight to the blind, and cast out demons.

21

: 00:02:09

This gift serves as a continuation of the works of Christ, demonstrating that God's power

is active and present in the life of believers today.

22

: 00:02:19

The gift of healing operates through faith, prayer,

23

: 00:02:23

and working of the Holy Spirit.

24

: 00:02:25

While all believers are encouraged to pray for healing, those with this spiritual gift may

see more frequent or dramatic results as the Spirit empowers them in this unique area.

25

: 00:02:38

It's important to note that the gift does not make the believer a healer in their own

right.

26

: 00:02:45

Rather, they serve as vessels through which God heals through them and the power of

healing flows.

27

: 00:02:52

through.

28

: 00:02:53

The book of Acts provides examples of healing within the early church, particularly

through the apostles like Peter and Paul.

29

: 00:03:01

For instance, in Acts chapter three, Peter heals a layman at the temple demonstrating

God's power and desire to heal through his followers.

30

: 00:03:11

This healing not only restored the man's body, but led to a powerful testimony of God's

grace.

31

: 00:03:17

The gift of healing continues to be a significant part of Christian ministry.

32

: 00:03:22

Many churches, especially in the charismatic and Pentecostal traditions, believe that this

gift is still active today.

33

: 00:03:29

Healing services and prayer ministries are often places where believers pray for others'

healings, trusting that God will work through their faith.

34

: 00:03:38

While miraculous healing can occur instantaneously, the gift of healing might also operate

over time, working in cooperation with medical science, counseling, or therapy.

35

: 00:03:52

The presence of doctors, medicine, and psychology does not negate the power of healing

through the spirit, but often works hand in hand with it as all healing ultimately comes

36

: 00:04:04

from God.

37

: 00:04:05

The gift of healing serves a dual purpose.

38

: 00:04:08

It demonstrates God's compassion and love for His people, and it acts as a sign that

points others to the reality of His Kingdom.

39

: 00:04:16

When people experience healing, it is a direct testament

40

: 00:04:21

to God's power, often leading to spiritual transformation and increased faith.

41

: 00:04:28

Moreover, healing ministry can be a powerful tool for evangelism.

42

: 00:04:33

In both biblical times and modern ministries, when people witness the miraculous, it opens

the door for the gospel.

43

: 00:04:41

Healing points people to the saving power of Jesus Christ, showing that God cares for

every aspect of their being.

44

: 00:04:50

physical pain to spiritual brokenness.

45

: 00:04:54

The gift of healing is an incredible demonstration of God's love and power at work in the

church today.

46

: 00:05:00

Rooted in the compassion of Jesus and empowered by the Holy Spirit, this gift brings

wholeness, restoration, and hope.

47

: 00:05:10

As Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians chapter 12, the gift of healing, like all spiritual

gifts, is meant for the edification of the church.

48

: 00:05:19

building up the body of Christ and testifying to the goodness of God.

49

: 00:05:24

I have two testimonies of healing that God allowed to happen through me and it's amazing.

50

: 00:05:30

And I want to build faith for you guys here as you're contending for your healing as

you're watching this video.

51

: 00:05:36

I believe that you will be healed today.

52

: 00:05:38

And here the heart of the father is I share these two testimonies.

53

: 00:05:42

The first testimony was with a gentleman in his late fifties, early sixties.

54

: 00:05:48

We were working together painting an apartment complex.

55

: 00:05:52

As I was on the third floor, I felt a sharp pain in my ear, but I've never felt that

before.

56

: 00:05:58

And I knew it wasn't my pain, but the person that was with me in the apartment.

57

: 00:06:03

So I went down to this man.

58

: 00:06:05

Let's call him, let's call him Dean.

59

: 00:06:08

And I went to Dean and I said to him, Hey dude, I'm feeling this pain in my ear.

60

: 00:06:12

Is your ear hurting?

61

: 00:06:13

And he said, yes, my ear has always hurt.

62

: 00:06:17

for a very long time, I actually have tinnitus.

63

: 00:06:21

Now what's interesting is tinnitus is a ringing in an ear in the ear, as well as a pain.

64

: 00:06:28

And the doctors say that this is actually incurable.

65

: 00:06:32

And the funny part of this story is he wasn't calling it tinnitus.

66

: 00:06:36

He was calling it tendonitis, like you can get from playing tennis, like tennis elbow.

67

: 00:06:43

So I was there.

68

: 00:06:44

sharing with little faith as well as commanding tendonitis instead of tinnitus to leave

his body.

69

: 00:06:52

So I prayed for him.

70

: 00:06:53

We left that area.

71

: 00:06:55

He came back to me a week later and he said, dude, I didn't want to tell you in the moment

because I wanted it to be real.

72

: 00:07:01

I wanted it to be true and I did not want to lose my healing.

73

: 00:07:05

But when you told tendonitis to go, the ringing in my ear stopped and I was healed in that

instance.

74

: 00:07:13

That is a powerful testimony of God healing in a moment.

75

: 00:07:18

This is more of a sign of a miracle, is instantaneous and a healing to something that

might be a little bit more progressive, like the 10 lepers walking away and as they walked

76

: 00:07:28

away, they got healed.

77

: 00:07:30

Another amazing and miraculous testimony that I want to share with you is someone being

healed of a hip infection and a bad knee.

78

: 00:07:39

When I was in Japan, more specifically Okinawa, I was visiting a church and after teaching

some students about English and how to speak English, we had a time of ministry and this

79

: 00:07:52

boy and I say boy, but he was a young adult, probably about 20 years old came up to me and

he had a hip infection for the last three years.

80

: 00:08:00

And because he had to take his weight and pressure off of his right hip, his left knee was

all jacked up from

81

: 00:08:09

from putting all of this undue pressure on to that knee.

82

: 00:08:13

So I said, all right, why don't we go at the main problem first?

83

: 00:08:17

And we had a translator and we going back and forth.

84

: 00:08:20

So I commanded his hip to be healed.

85

: 00:08:23

And in that moment, he felt this infection like almost fall off or come out of his body

and his hip was healed.

86

: 00:08:31

And I said, if Jesus healed your hip, he is also going to heal your knee.

87

: 00:08:36

So we prayed for his knee and his knee was healed right there on the spot in the moment.

88

: 00:08:41

This young Japanese man was jumping up and down for joy and it was incredible, but it

didn't stop there.

89

: 00:08:48

God was not only concerned about his physical healing, but about his spiritual and his

heart healing as well.

90

: 00:08:56

The Lord downloaded to me that this boy, this man was an artist and that he was actually

really good.

91

: 00:09:04

and he confirmed through the prophetic word that he is an artist that he does paint on

canvas and he just needed a father like figure to affirm him.

92

: 00:09:12

So as I affirmed him, the Lord was filling him with joy and affirming his heart.

93

: 00:09:18

And then there was some demonic activity that was going on through some generational

curses and we broke that off.

94

: 00:09:25

He coughed it out and by the end of this encounter, he was a completely different person.

95

: 00:09:30

Hallelujah.

96

: 00:09:31

jumping up and down, he ran out of there and moments later he came back from his house

with a painting in his hand to show me the art that I was affirming in him.

97

: 00:09:42

God is so good.

98

: 00:09:44

Guys, I want to pray for your healing today, whether it is spiritual, physical, emotional,

mental, whatever it is, I want to encourage you that as we testify today and lay down the

99

: 00:09:56

foundational groundwork for healing, the theology is there.

100

: 00:10:00

The faith has been built.

101

: 00:10:02

Now the only thing left to do is connect with the Creator.

102

: 00:10:06

Right where you're at, I want you to open up your hands like you're going to receive a

gift.

103

: 00:10:11

And I want you to say out loud, Jesus, I ask you to heal me today.

104

: 00:10:16

I believe and stand in faith that you can heal me today.

105

: 00:10:20

And I'm just going to pray over you.

106

: 00:10:22

So Father, I thank you for sending them to this video, God.

107

: 00:10:25

I thank you for building their faith and increasing it.

108

: 00:10:29

right now in your mighty name Jesus.

109

: 00:10:31

Father, I speak to the physical ailments, whether it is back, ankle, shoulders, cancer,

AIDS, any type of blood disease, neck, any type of aches or groans or moans in their body.

110

: 00:10:46

I command it to be healed right now in the mighty name of Jesus.

111

: 00:10:49

I bind any spirit of infirmity, any inflicting spirit, any spirit that would

112

: 00:10:54

place any harm or affliction on their body and I command it to go right now in the mighty

name of Jesus.

113

: 00:11:00

Father, I thank you for restoring ligaments and organs and body parts and in the way that

the blood flows the circulation.

114

: 00:11:07

God, I thank you for removing tumors and any type of cancerous abnormality in their body.

115

: 00:11:14

And father, I speak to their spiritual health and I just pray that any guilt shame

condemnation would come off of them right now.

116

: 00:11:21

Any areas that the enemy has been afflicting them.

117

: 00:11:24

has been attacking their calling or been latching onto them.

118

: 00:11:27

I command it to break right now in Jesus mighty name.

119

: 00:11:30

Any burden that isn't theirs, I command it to be lifted right now in Jesus mighty name.

120

: 00:11:36

And Father, I thank you for brand new hearts, any hardened hearts being restored and

turned to you right now in your mighty name, Jesus.

121

: 00:11:43

Father, I thank you for touching the viewer that has their hands open right now.

122

: 00:11:46

ready to receive a gift and faith.

123

: 00:11:48

I thank you for touching them from the crown of their head to the soles of their feet and

flooding them with your healing, which is linked and tied to our salvation.

124

: 00:11:57

And if we can believe for salvation, we can believe for healing.

125

: 00:12:01

So Father, I thank you by your completed works on the cross that we are healed by your

son's stripes.

126

: 00:12:08

In Jesus' name, amen.

127

: 00:12:10

So right where you're at guys, I want you to stand up, twist your body.

128

: 00:12:14

Check what was hurting before.

129

: 00:12:15

If you were blind, open your eyes a couple times, test your sight.

130

: 00:12:20

If you had a growth on you, check to see if it's there, if it got any smaller.

131

: 00:12:24

And as these healings are happening, give glory to God in the comment section and say,

hey, I was healed from such and such.

132

: 00:12:32

Jesus did this amazing thing in me as you prayed.
