Preview of The Impartation Manifestations

In The Impartation Manifestations we will define the

impartation manifestations and discuss what they are not. We will also see that God can heal all sickness and all disease. It does not matter how sick someone is or long they have been in that condition. God can even raise from the dead those who have died.

The Manifestation of Faith

The manifestation of faith, what it is not:

1. It is NOT the “faith of Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 2:8: For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Other related scriptures are: Ephesians 4:5; Philippians 3:9; Galatians 2:16,20; and Romans 3:22.

2. It is NOT the natural law of believing, nor renewed mind believing. That is not

the manifestation of faith that we are talking about. The natural law of believing works for saint and sinner alike. This type of faith or believing is how we are able to confess and believe. (Romans 10:9 & 10) Nor is it renewed mind believing, which is a higher application of this law, when we renew our minds to trust God and have absolute confidence in accordance with what was revealed by His son and written in His Word. Renewing our minds to the Word is not the kind of faith that is the manifestation of faith.

3. It is NOT the Family Faith, Common Faith, or the Household of Faith. This

“faith” refers to the Body of Believers. Those of the Family Faith and the Household Faith ALL have the “Faith of Jesus Christ,” that is why it is called the Common Faith.

4. It is NOT the Fruit of Faith that is listed in Galatians 5:22. The fruit of “faith” is

the result of the cultivation of the nine manifestations in a believer’s life. The more we operate the manifestations of the spirit in our lives, the more spiritual fruit is evidenced in our lives. Matthew 7:20 says “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”


18

We are known by the fruits we manifest. If someone lies all the time they are a liar. That is the fruit that they bear. If someone is always speaking the truth and is honest as the day is long, or the man that gives the shirt of his back, these are all manifested.

Fruit faith is known by others because it is shared with others. Not only is your personal life blessed, but others are blessed also. Fruit of the spirit cannot stay hidden.

Ephesians 5:9: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

Goodness – Right Living or Righteousness – and Truth, cannot be hid. If people try to cover up truth it always floats to the service. Goodness is the same way. People know you.

In the Living in God’s Power series, Part III, Kevin Guigou has a number of pages in his syllabus dealing with the subject of “faith” and its usages in the Bible on pages 104-107. It might be good to review that.

In I Corinthians 12:9a Weymouth translates “faith” as a “special faith.” When we manifest faith, we manifest a level of trust and confidence, way beyond the natural. It is “faith” to act and or speak according to what God has revealed to you. It is being fully persuaded in your heart and mind that the revelation given you shall absolutely come to pass as you act and as you speak. When you act and you speak, you absolutely believe that things will come to pass.

I Corinthians 13:2b: …and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains…

Mark 11:23b: … That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

It takes some faith to move a mountain. We have mountains. They are not

necessarily made out of rocks and trees, but there are mountains in our lives. In I Corinthians 13 the context is love. Galatians 5:6 says that love worketh faith; it energizes it. You are not going to operate these manifestations if you do not have love. You love God, you love His gifts, you love others and you move.


19

The manifestation of faith, what it is:

Faith: What It Is

The manifestation of faith is:

To exercise the authority and ability, which God gives of absolute trust and confidence

to do whatever God tells you.

“Faith” is translated in the King James Version from the Greek word pistis and it

means: “A complete and unquestioning belief and reliance upon something or someone. It reflects firm persuasion, loyalty, assurance, commitment, and dedication in and toward God.”

The Manifestation of Working of Miracles

The manifestation of working of miracles what it is not:

1. It is not a miracle of nature: the beautiful frost on the trees in the winter, how a cut heals, the birth of a baby.

2. It is not a miracle of science. That is all natural ability, no matter what science

comes up with. (Test tube babies or cloning)

3. It is not results produced by physical or mental abilities. We get our abilities from God.

4. It is not produced by devil spirit lying signs and wonders.

II Thessalonians 2:9: Even him (that lawless one) whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders. The devil can produce lying signs and wonders. Remember Aaron threw his rod down, and it turned into a snake? Then the old Pharaoh brings out his magic boys and they had three sticks that turned into three snakes? What did the one snake do to the other three snakes? It ate them up. (Exodus 7:10-12)

The manifestation of workings of miracle, what it is:


20

The word “miracles” in I Corinthians 12:10 is translated from the Greek dunamis which is potential power in the believer. Although all the manifestations are workings or energizings, only miracles is listed this way. That is because “working” is what God does to change the potential power to kinetic or active power. God does the energizing. The reason the word dunamis is used is because God wanted to emphasize God and man working together to do miracles. Man cannot do miracles without God. God can do miracles without man.

In Acts 14: 27, Paul and Barnabas had returned from the churches in the regions of Pamphylia nd Lyconia to the church at Antioch of Syria, and they were giving the people a report of what happened during the journey.

Acts 14:27: …they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.

God worked with Paul and Barnabas. God works with you and me when we operate

the manifestation of working of miracles. He works with all of the manifestations. Like with speaking in tongues, it is God that gives the utterance.

It was in this trip that Paul confronted the false prophet, the child of the devil that was trying to hinder his ministry. It says Paul was filled with the holy spirit, and he engaged this false spirit and sent him away blind for a season.

Acts 14:3: Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

Miracles give testimony unto His Word. God worked with Paul and Barnabas. He

energized the dunamis as they believed, and they were able to do signs and wonders. Man needs God working together with him in order to do signs, miracles and wonders.

Working of Miracles: What It Is

The manifestation of working of miracles is:

To exercise the authority and ability, which God

gives, to bring to pass miracles, according to whatever God tells you.


21

The Manifestation of Gifts of Healing: The manifestation of gifts of healing, what it is not:

1. It is not medicine, herbs, supplements, or arts and practices associated with healing.

2. It is not psychology or psychiatry. 3. It is not Christian Science or any other science. 4. It is not psychosomatics, psychocybernetics, scientology, parapsychology or

hypnosis. 5. It is not psychic surgery. 6. It is not the result of disciplining oneself to special exercises or diets. 7. It is not the result of devil spirit power.

The manifestation of gifts of healing, what it is:

Gifts of Healing: What It Is

The manifestation of gifts of healing is:

To exercise the authority and ability, which God gives, to impart healing wholeness in the name of

Jesus Christ, according to do whatever God tells you.

Gifts of healing are free gifts of God’s grace. They are not given because you are so good. Part of the problem is that people need or want healing, but they do not think they are good enough to get it. They are not given because you are so good or because you “earned” them, but by God’s grace… because God loves you. Here is an important key: all of God’s gifts, everything that God gives, is given out of love. God so loved the world that He gave. We do not earn it. Did you deserve righteousness? No! But we have it. It is a free gift of God’s grace and love.

When any of these three manifestations are evidenced, they inspire believing in others. That is what our lives should do for others. We should so live this Word of God, and be on fire for God, that others are inspired. The manifestations of holy spirit are


22

important to manifest, not only for ourselves, but for the profit of others. The end result is God is glorified in His son, and God’s family and household are edified and blessed.

Our goal is to minister with God’s power as we are exhorted in:

I Peter 4:11: If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

It is God’s will that everyone operates the manifestations. God’s will for His children

is to utilize His gift. It is God’s will that every man or all be healed. Whether it happens or not, that is still God’s will. He wants all His children to be healthy, wealthy, and wise with His Word. It does not matter what the sickness or disease or how long they have been afflicted. It is still God’s will that all be delivered, all be healed. I Timothy 2:4, says God’s will is that all men be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. He wants all men saved and all men healed. God can heal those afflicted from birth:1

John 9:1,6,7: And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, 7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

Here is a man afflicted from his birth and Jesus saw him, spoke to him, made the

spittle and put it on his eyes, and told him to go wash. The man followed through and guess what? A miracle happened. A miracle of healing.

Acts 3:2: And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

Peter and John ministered healing to him, and he was healed. What did Peter give

him? Silver and gold? No! But in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth... the power of the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth... rise up and walk. Peter took action. He reached down and lifted him up, and the man leaped up, and began walking and leaping and praising God. That God might be glorified in His son! If we do not do the works that Jesus Christ did, then nothing happens.

Acts 14:8: And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked:

1 For more information on this see Appendix 1, God Wants Everyone Healed of All Sickness All the Time.


23

He was hearing the words that Paul spoke, and it says Paul perceived he had faith to

be healed. He did not lift him up; he just said, “Get on up there!” He leaped up too. Paul healed him. God can heal those that have been afflicted for a long time.

These are the situations that you will face if you are going to do the works that Jesus Christ did.

Acts 9:33,34: And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy. (Disjointed and feeble) 34 And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.

Luke 8:43: And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Luke 13:11: And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

It says she had a spirit of infirmity. Does that mean everyone you see bowed over has a spirit? No, but this woman did. It says so. Jesus said, “Woman be loosed!” She was healed after eighteen years. It says he laid hands on her and healed her.

John 5:5a: And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

The man at the sheep market pool could not walk. It does not say that he had a spirit. Just because someone is sick or diseased does not mean he has a devil spirit called “infirmity.” Jesus healed this man. He got him up and got him walking. Is anything too big for God?2 If there is not anything too big for God then there is not anything too big for you if you walk in the steps of Jesus Christ and speak with authority.

Mark 9:21: And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

How old was the son? It does not tell you. However old he was, he was not capable

to believe for himself. He was under the authority of his father. One thing you need to remember as parents is that your children are under your authority. What you say and what you do has a big effect on them. Here the father had to believe. He said, “If you

2 Genesis 18:14; Jeremiah 32:17,27


24

can do anything, have mercy on us.” Then Jesus told him, “With God all things are possible.” This is a nice phrase, but it needs to mean more than that to you and me. It has to burn deep within our hearts. If someone comes to you with a situation, you want to take a step back and reach into that heart of yours and pull out this scripture.

God can heal those who are on their death bed.

II Kings 20:1: In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.

Get your stuff in order and pack your bags! This was from a prophet of God. That is pretty definite.

II Kings 20:2: Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,

If you have got your face to the wall you are not looking at anything else. When he turned his face to the wall, it was he and God. There was nothing in between, just him and God.

II Kings 20:3: I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

He reminded God and said, “Hey, remember me? Remember my life? Remember all the good things? Remember I instituted the Passover again?” He just poured his heart out to God.

II Kings 20:4,5: And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord.

Then it says he got fifteen more years, and he did. Hezekiah was on his deathbed and he prayed to God to deliver him and God heard his prayer. Now it is a matter of, you have been healed. “By his stripes you are healed.” That is the Word of God. You have to go get it. You have got to help people, get it? In the name of Jesus Christ you can move obstacles.


25

Luke 7:2: And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.

When we read this record in detail, it was the word of Jesus that healed the centurion’s servant. It says speak the Word only, and Jesus Christ spoke the Word and the servant was healed.

In Philippians 2:27, Epaphroditus, Paul’s fellowsoldier, was sick unto death and God healed him. So, nothing is too big for God. When you believe in God all things are possible. If necessary, God has raised those that have died:

I Kings 17:17: And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.

So here, this son of this woman that had blessed Elijah, had died. So, Elijah

ministered to him and brought the child back to life again. (I Kings 17:18-23)

II Kings 4:32: And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

Elisha stretched out over him and the child became alive again. (II Kings 4: 33-35)

II Kings 13:21: And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulcher of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

Luke 7:12: Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

Here is a widow whose only son died, and they ran into Jesus who got him up off the stretcher and brought him back to life.

Luke 8:49: While he [Jesus] yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.

Jesus turned to him and said “Fear not, believe only.” He went to the house and Jesus

raised the daughter up from the dead. She was twelve years old. (Luke 8:50-55)


26

John 11:43,44 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. (He was dead for four days!) 44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them; Loose him, and let him go.

Acts 9:37: And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.

The believers sent for Peter, who was just a few miles away, to come to minister to

her. When Peter got there he raised her from the dead. Jesus said, “He that believeth on me the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do…” (John 14:12)

Acts 20:9: And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

In this record a young man was sitting in on a teaching session, fell asleep, fell out of

a loft and died. Paul came down and got him up again. In another record in Acts, Paul was stoned to death outside the city. The believers surrounded him and the next thing you know he was back on his feet, back in the city preaching again.

Hebrews 11:35a: Women received their dead raised to life again…

This was not a one-time event. It happened throughout history. It does not matter what type of disease or sickness a person has:

Matthew 4:23; 9:35; 11:5; 12:15; & 15:30,31 all declare that Jesus healed “all manner of disease among the people.” “He went forth healing every sickness and every disease.” All and every takes care of whatever people have.

Blindness – Matthew 9:27; 20:30-34; Mark 10:46-52 Lame – Matthew 21:14; Luke 7:22; Acts 3:2; 14:8-10; Acts 8:7 Deaf – Mark 7:31-35 (deaf & dumb in one record.) Withered Hand – Matthew 12:10-13; Luke 6:6-10 Speech Defect – Mark 7:32-35 Dropsy – Luke 14:1-4 Leprosy – Numbers 12:10-15; II Kings 5:6-14; Matthew 8:3; Mark 1:40-42; Luke

5:12,13 Fever – Mark 1: 30,31; Luke 4:38,39; Acts 28:8


27

Insanity (mental illness) – I Samuel 16:14-23; 18:10; Matthew 4:24; 17:15-18; Luke 8:26-39

Hemorrhage – Matthew 9: 20-22; Mark 5:25; Luke 8:43 Barrenness – Genesis 17:15-21; 20:17,18; 30: 22,23; I Samuel 1:6,7; Judges 13:2,3;

Luke 1:5-25 Boils – II Kings 20:7; Isaiah 38:21 Dysentery – Acts 28:8

The only thing that limits God and His power to heal is man’s free will to believe or

not believe. God will not overstep your freedom of will. He laid everything out. You have to come get it.

Mark 6:5,6a: And he (Jesus) could there do no mighty work, save that he laid hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6a. And he marveled because of their unbelief.

Unbelief is the only thing that is going to stop anyone. It will stop you from

ministering, and it will stop a person from receiving. You must have faith, you must absolutely believe and trust and have confidence that God will heal. We are coming to claim what is ours! We need to get bold. Christians are too wimpy at times. We need to get bold in what we have and who we are. Who are you? A son of God with all power. We can do all things through Christ. You have to get so solid in that, it is just like breathing air. The Word is still the same yesterday, today and forever. The difference is you and I and what goes on in our minds and our hearts. God is always ready to move. He moved in the Lord Jesus Christ; He has done it all. He has already made the banquet. He is waiting on us to go get it.

In all the records of Jesus healing and delivering people, we see that it did not matter how long a person has been sick or diseased. They can even be on their deathbed, and some were even dead. It does not matter what the sickness, disease, or torment and yet if they have faith to be healed and act according to what God tells you in ministering, healing and deliverance can take place. It will take place. There are at least 15 specific sicknesses and diseases named in the Bible and just in case you think you have got something different, the Word of God still says “every” and “all.”

We have the faith of Jesus Christ. We have holy spirit power. We have the authority to ask and command in the name of Jesus Christ that deliverance be ours. We minister the same to others. They have a right to it also. We have to make up our own minds. It all comes down to us.

You have got to see yourself doing it. It is nice if we have one or two people doing this but that is not what God intended, any more than just having one or two people speaking the Word. If the only ones speaking the Word in the book of Acts were Paul and Peter, how would the Word of God ever move over the world? If you can witness the Lord Jesus Christ, if you can speak in tongues, if you have done at least the one, then you can do all of them. You have the gift. These are manifestations we are talking about. You already have the gift. God has given us the ability. You must decide.

It is a growth process. We are all unique. God works with us just as we work with our children. Every one is a little different. We are different too. God will work with


28

each of us a little differently, but He will absolutely work with you if you decide to work with Him.
