What about a creative miracle, like creating something that isn't there anymore? How about if a limb has been cut off and that limb grows back again?

Well, let me ask you a question. If a limb has been cut off and it grows back again, where does the substance come from that grows into the new leg? Does it come from up there? No, it comes from the body.

Don't you have the authority to create using material? Don't you have the authority to command a creation to take place?

You might say to me,

"I don't have the gift of miracles."

So what? But I can tell you what you don't have. You don't have the faith. It has nothing whatsoever to do with a gift. Those gifts are sign ministries for the preaching of the gospel and to reach unbelievers.

We are trying the whole time to get this to work amongst Christians, but it doesn't work. Because the person you are praying with has to be a participant in what you are doing.

They must be prepared to allow the anointing within them to come up and to heal their body. If they are not prepared to do that and to trust God with you, they will never get healed.

But we want it the easy way. I will just stand and be passive and let somebody else do it for me. No, God wants to take what is in you and recreate it. And every one of us has the ability to do that, whether we have gifts or not.

All you need to do is develop the faith, hope and love. Develop those inner forces and highly magnify them, and you should be able to create a new limb. In fact, every healing that comes from prayer is a creation.

Perhaps I have a diseased organ in my body. How should I now be praying?

"Lord, please heal me."

No, I want a new organ. We have the idea that it will kind of be like a transplant. We will take the old one out and put a new one in.

No, we will take what is there and make a new one out of it. We will take a diseased organ and make a whole organ out of it.

That is all healing is. Let's take it out of the realm of the super duper miraculous. Let's realize that we have in our spirits and in our mouths the ability to create anything that is available in this world.

Creating Health

What can we create? We can create health.

How do you do that? The first thing you must do is to attack the spirit of infirmity that is stopping the body from healing itself.

We tend to get too medical and say,

"There is something wrong with this organ. It's been diseased, the cells are broken down and there is cancer in there."

We are waiting for God to go in and fix it. But you might say,

"I don't have the gift of healing."

Well you have the authority to command. You have authority to say,

"You spirit of cancer, get out now! You spirit of infirmity that is attacking this body and stopping it from healing itself, in the name of Jesus be removed.

Jesus said, in my name you will cast out demons. He said that to every believer. So, in the name of Jesus I am telling you to get out!"

You can do that, but perhaps you say,

"I am not an apostle."

I was doing it long before I was an apostle. In fact, I wasn't doing anything. I wasn't even a deacon. They never allowed me that in my early days, but I knew my authority. I knew I could command demons and they would have to obey.

And you know what, they have to obey without arguing. Jesus told the legion to go and they started to argue with Him. They said,

"We are not happy about going out. We would like to go into the pigs."

Demons will argue with you. I hear them in the Spirit. I say,

"Demon you let go."

I hear him say, "No I won't."

"Yes you will."

"No I won't."

"Oh yes you will!"

If you hear me holding a conversation with a demon you will wonder who I am talking to. I know that demon is fighting me and resisting me, but I say,

"Hey, I didn't give you an option. I didn't invite you to do it. I told you! I command you to, and I stand in the name which is above every other name, to which you must bow."

Lucifer himself had to do that with me when I first met him. Because he knows it. And when he knows that you know, and you know that he knows, you can say,

"Get out of the way world. Here I am and nothing will stop me now. I am going to keep speaking, shouting and commanding until you bow!"

Don't take no for an answer. We might pray once and don't get an answer, then we say,

"Maybe it wasn't the will of the Lord."

You might be waiting for God to do it, but you need to command a new creation in your body. Command the evil to leave, then command a new creation.

Say, "Hey, body do this."

If you can't get this to work on yourself, you probably won't get it to work on anybody else either. Because you see at least you have a control of your own spirit. As you speak those words and release the anointing within, you should be able to get yourself healed.

But the gifts of the spirit don't work that way. The gifts of the spirit are for other people.

So people who move in these healing ministries always know how to get everybody else healed but they are sick themselves. It is because they have never learned to use the authority that God has given them.

Creating Wealth

How about creating wealth? You need to command Satan to let go of your provision.

The late Kenneth Hagin taught something that really impressed me. He said in his early years as he traveled around preaching, he was always dependent on whether people were going to give to him or not. Then the Lord said to him,

"All the money is in this world already. It is just Satan that is stopping you from getting it."

So he tried something. He said,

"I need this amount of money from my next meeting. Now Satan, take your hands off my money!"

That is all he did. Then he went to that church and the elders shook their heads. They said,

"This church has never given that much to a visiting preacher ever."

It is a matter of authority. There are spirits of poverty that are stealing your money. But you are praying and saying,

"Lord, please provide."

Then when it doesn't come you say,

"Well maybe God doesn't want to give it to me right now."

Rubbish! He has already given it to you, but you are allowing Satan to steal it. Command the spirits of poverty to leave and command the wealth and the possessions to be created, because you have creative ability.

You will create wealth that didn't exist before. Where is it going to come from? The Lord will take care of that part.

Perhaps you are saying things like,

"I command my boss to want to give me a raise."

No, it doesn't work that way. You can't command people. They have their own will. You must just command and say,

"I need an extra R10,000 a month to do what God has called me to do."

I have learned to do this. If I need a new computer or anything and the money isn't there right now to get it, I will assess how much I need. Then I will make a withdrawal from my heavenly account.

If you have been through Volume 2 of The New Way of Blessing, you will know how to make deposits and withdrawals from your heavenly bank account. So I will say,

"Father we need so many thousand right now. Lord I believe you want me to have this thing. That is the amount of money I need, and in the name of Jesus I receive it now and I command it to be released."

Then I wait because it will come. I don't know how, where or when it will come, but it will come. I expect it to come because it usually does.

Well if you don't have the faith to believe for 5, don't try for 10,000 yet. Get those spiritual muscles built up a little bit first. Just start somewhere small. Say something like,

"Lord I need a new pen."

Can you believe for a new pen? I'm sure you can. Let God provide it. It doesn't mean someone will walk up to you and say,

"Here, God told me to give you a new pen."

He could do that or He could provide the finance, I don't know. I have heard of people who bought clothes for someone else. They went into the shop to buy something, and when they went to go and pay the teller said,

"It's all right; somebody just came in and paid it for you."

It can happen, but don't dictate how it will happen. You see you must create it.

Creating Relationships

When it comes to relationships you must command the spirits of disfavor to bow. You must speak to those demons that are making people not like you, hate you or be jealous of you and say,

"Don't you dare! I bind you in the name of Jesus. You will no longer prevent me from having favor."

Then command the creation of new circumstances to meet new people. Also to build relationships with the people you already know.

Command favor with every new person you meet. You must create it. You must use the authority.

Reject Fear and Negative Things

You must resist all fear, because that is the first thing Satan will do. He will challenge you when you start to do this. He's going to bombard you with fear.

When you start to believe God for health you will get a pain. You will think,

"Oh boy I think that is my heart. Sure enough, it is going off to the left here and I have this numb feeling in my left hand. Those are all the signs of a heart attack. I had better call the doctor quickly!"

I don't do that. I say,

"Hey Satan, how dare you challenge the Word! In the name of Jesus you take your hands off my body and you leave now."

I will usually get a revelation in the Spirit and I will see the demon running off. You might say to me,

"You're lucky. You have the gift of discerning of spirits."

Well, trust me it didn't fall on me. I had to fight for it. I had to claim it and receive it. If you want to move in the gifts, it will take faith to reach out and take it.

Remember the verse that I shared at the beginning? It says whatever you ask for, while you are praying reach out and take it. The Greek tense there means you can do something for yourself. So whatever you ask for yourself, while you are praying, reach out and take it.

That's what the Greek means there when it says,

Whatever things you desire, when you pray believe that you receive them and you shall have them.

That word believe literally means laying your hands on something and taking it. Reach out with the hand of faith, take it and say,

"It is mine!"

But you are sitting waiting for it to fall on you and saying,

"It can't be God's will. Maybe there is something wrong in my life."

Satan begins to attack you with condemnation and accusation. He begins to say,

"You are not good enough. You failed and you did this."

Next you must reject all the negative words of people around you who will tell you it is never going to happen. They say to you,

"Who do you think you are to expect something like that? You are just filled with pride; that's your problem."

Let it be like water off a duck's back.

Also reject the fears of your own heart that are based on your past experiences, because that is where fear comes from. It is always based on past experiences.

I don't care what happened in the past. Put it behind you. Reject those fearful thoughts, because they will try and steal from you the confidence to push through.

Just release the inner anointing and speak your faith, not your doubt. Speak your hope, not your fears. And speak your love, not your anger or frustration.

Conclusion

In conclusion, expect results to your words of creation. Do not take no for an answer. You might say to me,

"I am not sure if it is the will of the Lord."

You should have found that out before you started and before you made your blueprint. Find that out first, so when you come to do it, you can't suddenly say,

"Well maybe God changed His mind."

Get into the Scriptures and find a promise from His Word. And if you feel He is saying no you can say,

"Then God you are a liar, because you said this in your Word."

God likes us to be that way. He likes us to remind Him of His Word, because He will honor His word.

Don't give into the thoughts of the enemy. Don't be moved by the words of others, and also keep your faith in the field. Some things take time. And sometimes there are other people involved, particularly when it comes to financial provision.

Most of the time all these things require the work of angels. Give the guys a break. They work hard so give them time. They know what they are doing. They may have to work with a whole lot of circumstances and with a lot of people, and it takes them a while to set it up.

Just be very sensitive that when they finally bring that situation to you, you don't miss the turn on the road. When that sign starts flashing, then turn. It has all been set up for you. Finally, keep releasing words and actions until you see the result you desire.

I am going to end now with a Scripture from the insignificant book of Ecclesiastes. It's an old verse and you probably wondered what on earth it meant. The original says in Ecclesiastes 11:1,

Cast your bread upon the waters because you will find it after many days.

Well I have retranslated it like this, and I believe this is what it says.

Send your bread out over the waters: for you will get what you desire after many days.

Everything you desire will come back. But you see you have to send it out first. A lot of people are waiting for their ship to come in, but they have never sent one out yet.

If you send your ship out it will come back fully laden with everything that you desire. But keep your faith in the field while you are waiting for the manifestation.

Sometimes it will come very quickly, and when your faith is really strong, sometimes it can come instantly. But don't depend on that. Just keep putting your faith out.

Keep sending your bread out on the waters, and sooner or later it will start coming back by the shovelful. It will be so big you can't even handle it.

I can handle that problem, can't you? I can handle more provision than I can spend. You might have to say,

"Oh boy, we will have to put some money in the bank because we can't spend it all."

I would like to be in that position wouldn't you? God wants you to be in that position, but you must create it using the tools that He has given you. You must speak the words and command the enemy. You must insist,

"That is what I want and that is what I am going to have. I'm not going to accept anything less."

Satan may send you a counterfeit, but is that what you asked for?

You might say, "Lord I wanted a nice, tall handsome looking guy, but this short funny looking guy came along. Well I guess he is better than nothing."

I have found that most of the time God gives you more than what you asked for. You might say to Him,

"Lord I would be happy with 1,000."

He says, "How would you like 5,000?"

God always gives way over and above what our small little minds can think. But it is time we take all of these principles now and take action.

As you step out now, I want you to think about what it is that you are really desiring. I want you to think about what problem you are facing right now. Then speak to that problem.

If the problem is in your body, speak to your body. If the problem is in your finances, speak to your finances. And if you have a problem in your relationships, speak to those relationships and command them.

Say, "In the name of Jesus this is my right. This is my heritage and I will settle for nothing less."

My Prayer for You

"Father I thank you for your Word. I gave it as you gave it to me, and I pray that your people will receive it in faith. I pray Lord that they will take it and eat it, and let it churn and burn inside of them until they start to do it."

We will do something right now. I want you to think of some of the things that are on your list. The first thing we will do is to step into the Spirit, because without the power of the anointing of God, nothing will happen. So I want you to say,

"Jesus, I submit myself to you afresh in spirit, in soul and in body. Here I am Lord, I'm yours. I give everything over to you. I ask you to take control and to live your life through me, to speak your thoughts through me and to fill me with your desires."

It takes a simple step of faith and He said He will be there. As you took that step now He is there. You are standing in the Spirit, and His anointing that is already within you is ready to flow out.

I am going to pray for you now, and I want you to just pray in agreement with me. I'm going to pray on your behalf, but I want you to make these your words.

"Satan, in the name of Jesus, you have had your way for long enough! You have stolen from me for long enough. You have withheld the blessings of God for long enough. Now enough is enough, and your time is up!

Your time is over, and in the name of Jesus I am ordering you out of my life. I'm ordering you out of my body, out of my finances and out of my relationships.

I'm ordering you out of my work circumstances and my circumstances in everyday life. Wherever I go I am ordering you out. Be gone in Jesus' name!

And now I speak a word of creation. I say, Father you know what is in my heart. And in the name of Jesus now, and in the name which is above every other name, I command that which I desire to come into manifestation now. It will be created in whichever way you see fit.

You will make it new. You will give me a new one of everything that is faulty. You will give me a new one of everything that Satan has stolen from me. And you will give me a better one.

I claim it now in the name of Jesus. I command it, I speak it forth, and with the hand of faith I reach out and I take it. Thank you for it Lord. I thank you that it is mine."

God said to Joshua, Everywhere you place your feet I have given you. Now stand on it and say,

"It is mine, Satan. I am putting my foot on it. It is mine - my healing, my finances and my relationships. Get your hands off it; it's mine! God has given it to me and I'm going to hang onto it.

I'm going to hold onto it, and I'm not going to let go of this promise. I'm not going to let go of my faith. I'm going to carry on until it manifests in my hands. Thank you for it Lord, in Jesus' name."

God will do some miracles. There will be testimonies of miracles here. God will do some amazing things in your life.

Go out and practice it now, but don't expect it to always go smoothly. Satan will challenge you. When those fears come, don't fight them with your mind. Speak out loud and command them to leave.

Satan can't read your mind, so command him to leave. Speak out loud. If you get a pain in your body, speak to it and rebuke it. Don't treat it as an illness. Treat it as a person or a thing and say,

"Hey, you pain, you listen to me. I am talking to you. You are going right now in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah!"

You will be amazed at how powerful this is. I know, I have proved these things. I practice them all the time.

When you get old you get a lot more of these things. I fight them daily sometimes. A panic sets in and you think,

"At my age anything could happen. Something could fail."

If my faith is weak, I call my wife. Call somebody who can believe with you. Jesus said Matthew 18:19,

Where two of you shall agree concerning anything that they ask, it shall be done.

Leave no stone unturned until you get it, because God has promised it to you. It is yours and you have a right to it. Hallelujah, the Lord bless you.
