Healing" Witness Pt. 5 - May 10th, 2026 - Pastor Jono Zantingh

"Don't change your theology and redefine God just because you're in a not yet moment. Persist. Stay in faith. Ask and keep on asking. Decide today that regardless of outcome, good or bad, whatever you think that is, nothing will rattle and shake your love and trust in Jesus. The third idea is this healing is a part of the church's witness. Because you are a witness, I want to invite you to help normalize the practice of the gift of healing. I would love for all of you over the next seven days to say yes to taking a moment to putting your hand on somebody and praying in faith. That's your homework.

"And now here's what's important. The church has weaponized faith for years. Many of you feel like an answer to prayer hasn't happened because someone said, you don't have enough faith. And so shame and condemnation have riddled your heart, and you haven't asked God for anything for years because you just can't risk being disappointed. I want you to just step out of that today in freedom, with wholeness and courage. And remember that faith is just one of the pieces. And you get to choose where your belief lies. And you get to say, Lord, help my unbelief. [01:07:44] (35 seconds)  #FreedomFromFaithShame

"Why do I share that with you today? Because we're talking about spiritual gifts. And we're today, we're gonna talk about the gift of healing. And most of you already go, I don't have that gift. And I wanna say, how do you know? How do you know unless you give it a go? How do you know unless you practice it? How do you know unless you practice it for years? How do you know? God bless my mom for making me practice. [00:45:19] (31 seconds)  #TryTheGiftOfHealing

"But the sign is not the promise itself. Healing is a sign of the kingdom that points to salvation, the substance of the kingdom. Healing's a very biblical sign of Jesus' kingdom, and it's a display of the full work of salvation that Jesus paid for on the cross. Number two, healing is complicated. Who among you is sick today and in need of a miracle? Who here today would love to be a witness to the power of God by seeing the gift of healing make you or someone you know and love healed and made whole? [00:58:30] (38 seconds)  #HealingIsASign

"And in the last thirty thirty years, man, I've I've laid hands on people in crisis and immediately seen the Holy Spirit heal supernaturally. And I've prayed for people for years and finally seen God heal them supernaturally. And I've prayed for people for months and seen the wisdom of science and medicine with the supernatural creative power of God heal people over time. And I, like you, have also experienced the weight of suffering where I have prayed for years and years. I've prayed for twelve years for my hip to be made whole, and I still walk with a limp. But that doesn't change my theology. [00:59:22] (45 seconds)  #DiverseHealingJourneys

"Why? Because we live in a tension that theologians call the already not yet. Already not yet. Already not yet. Say it with me. Already. One more time. Good. Jesus has been victorious over sin. Already. And we can know that victory here and now. Already. But the full experience of that victory is still future. It's still down the road awaiting Jesus' return, not yet. And over a lifetime of apprenticeship to Jesus, you will experience the overwhelming joy of the already, and you will experience the pain of the not yet. Both and. This makes the gift of healing complicated. [01:01:29] (45 seconds)  #AlreadyNotYet

"And then look for every opportunity to just lay hands on the sick and see them recover. Lay hands on the sick. Be healed in Jesus' name. Cancer, go in Jesus' name. Tumor, disappear in Jesus' name. Liver, be whole in Jesus' name. Heart, function in Jesus' name. Simple. You don't have to be, like, weird super spiritual about it. As in every one of the gifts, let's earnestly give to give it away more than we desire to keep it for ourselves. Look for any and every opportunity to prepare, to pray in faith, to persist in prayer, to keep your eyes on Jesus and not the outcome, and to walk in wisdom. In Jesus' name. Why don't you stand to your feet? [01:15:02] (54 seconds)  #LayHandsPrayFaith

"And right through to this room, where with our own eyes, we've seen cancer annihilated. We've seen lame legs walk and continue to walk. We've seen sick bodies made supernaturally whole all because of Jesus. Healing is absolutely one of the gifts of the spirit that God uses still to demonstrate his kingdom today.
