Greetings friends and listeners and welcome to the sound of faith.

I'm sure not thinking of returning it today because we know faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Today's message is very important and pertinent to anyone who has struggled with the need of physical healing. This message is not something I read about or heard about that one. I have lived through and still apply every day for my own physical healing. Walking in healing by love. Now abide faith, hope and love but the greatest is love greatest Greek word that God we know what mega means. It means superlative love because you see, without love, faith fails and without love, hope guys. Amen. But when you know that God loves you. You.

It allows you to hold onto your faith and your hope.

Amen. Now just read the first verse of chapter 14 with me follow after love and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you prophesy to what I want you to see here is he said follow after love you the right motivation and your walking and then I want to die.

I want you to go after. I want to let God for spiritual gifts God to use you to pray for the sick and get you speak the word of God and give you out in the anointing and you amen we need in order for us to have the right motivation, we've got to be walking in love. Why, because what is the first fruit of the spirit. He's not knowing from which the first one lot of Galatians 522 and now the gifts of the spirit are love because everything else flows out of love. Amen.

And as we said faith works by love. So first were going to look vertically, the love between God and us, our love for him. His love for us.

Amen when we know how much God loves us. It's easy to believe that he wants to do good things for us when we are struggling with believing that God wants to do something good for us somehow or another we have allowed the devil might be something mentally but we've allowed him to say in our hearts. God's not going to do that for you as though he doesn't love you. Like maybe he love somebody else amen or did you not deserving of it in some way because you messed up folks. None of us are deserving not deserving of any of it because he loves us. Amen. I don't care. You may look at the most, the strongest Christian doesn't deserve it any more than you do. It's because God loves us. Amen. So when we face the difficulties in our our adversities and losses come into our lives. It knowing that God loves us and undergirds our faith so we don't cast it away.

Amen. And we get out our favorite Scripture. What do we get out when something hits a sublime sizes that we do not know where coming from. We don't get it all come along with the old favorite. Romans 828 and we know the God and you can now think God is one. Let's look at first John 418. I know you will recognize this verse but I want you read with me. There is no fear in love, but perfect law cast out fear, because now here's the part we really need to see. He fears is not made perfect in love. When you are continually besieged by a spirit of fear, and I speak this by way of experience as well as what God's word says often. If you go to the root of it, you will find that you have allowed doubt to come into your mind and your heart that God truly loves you.

Amen.

I know those of you that are soldiers of the Lord, and you been saved for decades in your strong you that, but you know you can get… There you did this happen to you.

Why are you in this place.

One time you have.doesn't love or he would not have allowed this to happen. Amen. But he said when you think love. Let me say a better way.

When you love because, like a child.

Like a child of it cast out fear you, you shut the devil down right away. Amen. And let me tell you folks can be greatly affected by fear.

Fear I could say this weight is a faith killer, not that you lose your faith.

I'm not saying you lose your faith. But I'm saying that weakens your faith and paralyzes your faith so that you don't use it. Amen.

The thing that was most detrimental to me during the years I went to the issue with my back which started in 1992, and for many many years.

I was basically homebound and in bed like 18 hours a day and many of you know that when I become the church. I lay down on a bed in the back there. Amen anything really was detrimental to my faith in the beginning was I struggle with so much fear. I was so afraid when you get hurt again and hurt my back worse than on the hurt he ate another guest over than this is going to happen to me.

I had so much fear on me that even when I came to church.

I really could hardly get anything on the service because I was afraid I was going to fall down or something bad was going to happen was a constant battle and the devil was continually feeding my fear with his doubt his unbelief in his life and his favorite thing was, God must not love you. Then he started telling me you've lost your faith you've lost your faith when he did that.

I was like that means I can never believe again was I can't believe again all my God, I'm never going to get better but I lost mine. You talk about being so tormented, tormented, it was a terrible place to be in amen and you see this doubts and lies that my fears and my fears canceled my face so I was in a vicious cycle that went round and round.

A breakthrough came when God gave me a tremendous stream. Now I know I've been telling you dreams lately. I don't want to make you think that I could these dreams every night every week or even every month. The dreams I reserve the tell you in the pulpit is because they are so extraordinary and generally it's like one a year and maybe not even that often. This is one of the most dramatic dreams with the most dramatic results I ever had 1990s added. I was already five years into this daily struggle of living with this horrible pain and this mental, spiritual warfare and it was can't meeting and I was not here in the services. I was home in my bed and you know how the devil would beat me up and say yeah, remember when you used to be the manager of the campgrounds and remember when you used to the preaching us services and all he would come in and look at you now. You can even go to camp meeting and what you think they're doing to charge all their singing and shouting.

There having a good time home in this bad. So the oppression I was going through was terrible on top of that, I got a phone call from my sister from out of town and she called me real late at night and it was very late was like midnight and she wanted me to get some I to come pick her up at the bus station and I didn't have anybody that I could call midnight to go get her in and I told her I think will Juergen have to get a cab because I don't have anybody after I got off the phone with her I thought what awful person I am a person that this lady from town and she's at the bus station to get some of what happens to be on your Christian are you a terrible person.

I can even do the stuff he told me and I took it in my spirit and I thought I am such a failure. I have so many false I will never measure up to God's standard. I'm just a loser at what I am a loser.

Now that's the mindframe I had to walk around with that all day long and then that night I couldn't go to church and Benny and Sarah went to church and I was home alone and depression that came on me was so strong that I felt like a weight was on my chest so as well. From what time you get to breathe because I felt like I couldn't breathe and there was nothing wrong with my lungs. It was just oppression that was on me so strongly. Amen. So I'm trying to get my mind off of it and I was sitting in the bathroom and I heard a voice. I'm not sure if it was audible or not it was allow and it was mocking and this is what it said all day long. The devil been telling me God does not love you, God does not love you if he did, you wouldn't be in this place boy. He knew he had me down and now he was ready for the last sucker punch. He said this voice lab and mocking didn't say God does not love you said God hates you. See it escalated. It was bad enough. God doesn't love you, but when he said he and he said in such a mocking way and he knew the state of mind that I was in. He said God hates you. It was so evil and so powerful. I almost fell off my seat and I realize my God in heaven. I gotta do something.

I cannot just hear this mindframe. So I got up to put on some Christian music and and and I lay down I tried to read my Bible and praying to just get through the hours until Benny came home and when he came home course, he told me all about the service and we talked about the service and I we talk about stuff. I think even laughed a little bit. I got up a little lasting so it left me it went off the me and I never told Benny what happened to me and I thought felt a little better so we went to bed and I fell asleep about three or four in the morning I woke up with the worst pain I've ever had in my life. It wasn't just in my back. It was all here and it was like daggers daggers in my lower body.

It was so horrific that I went from a line down position straight to standing up that you may not think much about that but I'm telling you my back condition did not allow me to do that I would have this get up to my side and get up want to sit and then push myself up. I went because the pain was so great.

I felt like my insides were going to just blush out of my body and I made it into the bathroom and when I got in there I sat down and I immediately jumped back up again because I felt like there were knives in me. So I leaned over the counter top and suddenly I felt pain like a whirlwind of pain started my feet I felt to go all the way up. I felt to come in my body without the commit. My chest and it came into my throat and I knew I was going to die. I not only felt this but I saw a black tornado funnel cloud like this over me and I was thinking I'm widowed. It's gonna suck me into it and I'm going to die so I thought to myself somehow I've got to get in there to Benny because if I don't I might pass out on this right here and you'll find me in the morning and I'll be get so somehow I struggled in there to him enough on his chest something Benny I'm dying. I'm dying and he went up. I guess maybe thought I was an intruder and you know so was grabbing me real hard time realizing with me started in my face and back in my face right and I was getting weaker and weaker, and I felt my voice was getting less and his voice. He started calling my name Sharon Sharon. Sharon is getting further and further away and I slipped out of my body.

Now I fell down on the bed like that. Meanwhile, inside of me in this spirit that came from God the spirit of Sharon that is connected to God Almighty. I was going to die if I'm okay but I'm not Diane like this. This is not my. I was angry at the time I was just going on in my spirit all this anger. Finally, Benny said she and Wendy that I and inside of me. I was any Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, and just like that. I was surrounded by these brightly colored laser lights all around me I saw a black tornado. Nothing was going. I saw pink and blue when they were flashing all around me all laser lights and I came back in my body. Now I was I was in a dishrag line on that bed like that.

I was back in my body. He got the phone. He called my fancy like five times before they finally answered the phone was about five in the morning. By that time and I just laid there because I couldn't hardly move.

They prayed and as they pray for me. The pain lifted and I'm telling you that in itself was miraculous because it normally if I would reach that level of pain it would take days for it to resolve whenever I get in that level of pain and it was gone just like that. I went back to sleep and I woke up the next day I had no pain and I was just like floating on cloud nine and you know why because that told me something it told me God loved me. Think of it in the devil can't destroy me.

The Lord used that to show me love you me the next day, all I could do was think about how much he loves me.

Amen. And so I'm saying to you that in order for your faith to work. You've got to get your love walk right between you and the Lord and be convinced of it because condemnation is a great faith killer very quickly. First John three level there.

Let's look at verse 24.

If our heart condemns us. God is greater than our heart and knows all things belonging if heart condemns does not finance toward God and whatever we let him because we keep his commandments and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

And this is his commandment that we should believe on the name of his son Jesus Christ one another as he gave us commandment. Wow Kelly put faith and love together there God in Jesus name so we can see that in order for our faith to work with Dr. walk in love. Amen. Now why is it that some people don't seem to get their healing. There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Every case is different and I'm sure that in this seminar. The were going to be having next, she will bring out many things. Amen. But there's just no one answer for every body. However, I am telling you that walking in love is important. You see, it's like a coin on one side of his face and on the other side is love because without a true New Testament love walk. Amen.

It doesn't matter how strong our faith is we are not going to have the results. Now what I'm about to say is not for everyone, but for those who it is for. I must say it. So if it doesn't fit you and just lay aside. Don't worry about it, but I have to be faithful. Amen. Let me ask you a hypothetical question supposed that you've been dealing with a physical illness or condition for quite a while and even though you have been diligent to minister to your faith in every way that you know through prayer, meditating on the word reading the word like I taught in my series. The spoken word speaking God's word out loud.

Listening to anointed teaching. Amen other people's testimonies that God is healed and you actually do feel that your faith is getting stronger.

You can feel when your faith is. You can amen and your no longer plagued by that spirit of fear all the time you feel that you've gotten a deliverance from that and in spite of still have not seen the manifestation of healing your body and God says to you, remember when such and such happened to you and so and so did something to you. It may go all the way back to your childhood.

It maybe your parents abused you or someone else or something happened to you were a bad marriage or somebody in charge did you wrong. Did you wrong and when you think of that person, you still get back in your spirit you still feel that uncomfortable feeling in your spirit and God says to you, if you will totally and absolutely forgive them and cast the rejection and the pain and the resentment on me, you will get well. Would you be willing to do it. Would you be willing to do it. Amen. Let's suppose it, of course, no one here but just in case someone else might hear this, you have a tendency to have a critical spirit and your very quick to point out other people's faults. Maybe you even point out discussed the faults of ministers and preachers, people to preach false doctrine. Now that's another story. Amen. And you tend to be critical and falsifying with people.

Amen. And if the spirit of God let you know that that could be a stumbling block on your pathway to and if you will repent of that and put a watchman at the door of your math and asked the holy to keep your lips from speaking malice in your tongue that speaks no guile and you will get through they would say I would be willing to with me I would be willing about what may amen be here but then, because you can really that's how it works, that the equation law plus faith equals healing plus love equals healing how many see it. Some people think I don't see what that's got to do with anything. I just give you one quick Bible illustration in the book of numbers. The 12th chapter very interesting chapter, Mary and Erin who were Moses older sister and brother.

She was 10 years older than him, and the brother was quite a few years older also. So now there been out the wilderness and God can use. And Moses he's God's prophet. They thought ascended.

They all of a sudden decided that to talk about Moses and speak against him that there is very strong.

They murmured against him because he had married an Ethiopian woman. Now, first of all, he married her when he was 40 years in the wellness and get this thing going. Where they murmured against Moses speaking against him because of his wife, and you know it so interesting. If you read in the King James it says and God heard it exactly what it says and God heard it. We forget that God hears.

Amen.

And so when God heard it.

God said to Moses, I want you to get Mary and Erin and I with the three of you to meet me at the door of the tabernacle. They didn't know what was coming so they all met there and God said, I heard you speak against my servant Moses and I want you to know that Moses is my servant, as you know if I have a profit.

I'll give them a tree. I'll give them a vision but not my servant Moses I'm going to speak to him directly. This is my servant, he said, were you afraid to speak against my servant and then came down and covered him and when the cloud lifted. Mary was standing there covered with leprosy. Now some people say why did we put leprosy on Aaron.

He did number two. I don't speculate he was the high priest. He was the high priest and he would've worn that the priestly garments and he would been anointed as the high priest, and perhaps that gave him some sort of protection, but when she was covered with leprosy. Aaron he was at work, how we are so sorry I did Moses say she got what she deserved. No reason at all, please feel like this lab will easily alert what a humble man and that's where you will see in this story you will hear God say that Moses was the meekest man on earth it's in this story that said about him and so Moses begged God to heal her and God said, you know, with her father had spit in her face. She would have to stay in her room for seven days.

He says put her outside of the camp for seven days and that meant that the whole nation had to stop and nobody could movie nobody could do anything because I had to wait for her and on the seventh day God healed her. Now please don't misunderstand me. I am not saying that's going to strike you with leprosy or cancer or any other disease.

I'm not saying that but what I want you to be is that when we use our time to speak against God's harvest when opening up the window and healing to come talking about getting judgment, something I'm talking about not getting your and I can back it up with the 58th chapter where God said, if you will stop put your finger around. Point your finger at people and stop speaking T stop doing that.

And guess what will happen late right is the new day is if you're on your way to healing and you're on your way to a miracle laid on turn anything in your life. My head is don't let anything go anything that might be a hindrance. We want to get rid of it and you do not walk in love. Amen. And so have learned something here today you have learned something. You know I faith all the time because I realize the did anything without God showed me this years ago. He showed me Sharon if you want your faith to work at optimal level. You gotta walk in love and I used to be quick to judge other ministries and other things. And boy I had to learn you need leave that alone touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm.

Now if someone is preaching false doctrine. I am going to sound the alarm. I have to look applicable to come dressed in sheep's clothing. Then I will sound the alarm. But just because I don't like their style and the way they do it or how they're doing it. Amen. No, no, no, I'm not want to touch God's anointing.

I want to make sure I'm walking in love. Amen.

Discipline his kids how to discipline his children. Please find amen. I'm walking alone now next week that would preach the second part of this message with your toes today healed all over the desert.

Amen. What an insightful and invaluable work for us today. Walking and healing by love. You know that in the book of acts the Chronicle of the early church. The term love is not used once. However, the terms in one accord and in one mind are found 13 times in the first few chapters you see was not necessary to have to keep talking about love.

When they were all walking in love is great teaching of the gifts of the spirit and first Corinthians 12, and 14 Paul stopped midstream to write chapter 13 on the role of love in the operation of the gifts he made it clear that unless love is the motivator for the gifts I have nothing I convey nothing and I gain nothing, not even mountain moving faith can operate fully without love, because this is the key to getting healed and state healed faith works by love, Paul concluded that there now abides faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love because love never fails. But without love, faith, sales, and hope dies.

This is why it is impossible to walk in faith and not walk in love and it is why some Christians do not receive their healing and or keep it walking in love is both vertical and horizontal. When we know how much God loves us. We believe his word to heal us and we don't allow fear to paralyze our faith because perfect love casts out fear. We must also walk in love towards others in the body of Christ. So if you have done all you can do to purify and strengthen your faith and you feel your faith is rising, and yet still you have not received your healing.

It's time to check your loved one where there was bitterness criticism judge mentalism jealousy a lack of faith is not the problem, but a lack of love. I learned all these things on my journey to healing that I still must apply every day in this groundbreaking teaching is a two CD set can be ordered from love gift of $50 or more for the radio ministry to order walking in healing by love failed to sound of faith PO Box 1744, Baltimore, MD 21203 four shop online at sound the faith were also available on MP3s next time.
