God’s Power

 

 

God’s Resident Power

Eph  1:19  And what is the exceeding greatness of his power ( DUNAMIS) to us-ward (FUNNELED INTO) who believe ( CONTINUALLY BELIEVING) , according to the working( ENERGY PUT OUT) of his mighty ( INNER SPIRITUAL STRENGTH) power,(EXTERNAL DOMINION)

What is the throwing beyond (homerun) greatness of His dunamis power funneled into us the ones believing according to the energy that is put out as God’s inner spiritual strength is translated into His external dominion.

·        Dunamis power is the inherent power within every created being, living, and non-living.  God has His own inherent dunamis power. Disease has its own type of dunamis power. Dunamis power is what distinguishes one object from the other, and gives to its life and power. 

·        20 Which he wrought (ENERGIZED) in Christ, when he raised him from the dead (CORPSE), and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

·        Which He energized (PAST TENSE) in Christ when He raised Him out of a corpse…..

·        Working in verse nineteen, and wrought in verse twenty are exactly the same root word; ENERGY; Working, is the noun, energy.  Wrought is the verb to energize.

·        The definition of God’s DUNAMIS POWER was the energy that was “put out” (in the historical event 2000 years ago), as Christ was raised up from a corpse and made to sit far above in rank, power, and physical distance over all principalities, powers, and might, dominions, and all names which are named both in heaven and upon the earth.

·        This dunamis power was once and for all energized INTO CHRIST. Because Christ lives in us, so does this DUNAMIS POWER.

·        However the living reality of this dunamis power, as it is funneled or manifested into us, comes in proportion to our faith.

·        Let us look now in more detail now the properties of the dunamis power that we have resident within us and available to us when we walk in childlike obedience and faith

 

The Properties of God’s Resident Power

 

21  Far above all principality (BEGINNING), and power(AUTHORITY), and might, (DUNAMIS POWER) and dominion( LORDSHIP OR BONDAGE), and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

·        Far above in rank, power, and physical distance

·        Every type of principalityOr the beginning of every created thing

·        We know a principality to be an authoritative demonic being.  However, in the NT, the word principality is also used for a physical beginning, the creation of something, and the root source of something.  The dunamis power of God in Christ, and available to us, is far above in rank and power, above every root problem such as generational sins, curses, judgments, and the root causes and beginnings in diseases.  This is very important to us when we minister.  A simple knowledge of this facet of God’s power will allow us to exercise God’s power with a new level of faith.

·        Authority Power of choice; liberty to do as one pleases; jurisdiction such as a state police has over every road within a state; the power of rule and government

·        Authority is the power of choice; or the liberty to do as one pleases, such as the jurisdiction enjoyed by a state policeman or woman over every road and highway within the state wherein they work.  Cancer, for example has its own authority, in that it can spread at will throughout the human body. However the authority found in Christ’s dunamis power has an authority far above in rank and power over that of cancer. By our words, as they are tempered or alloyed 50/50 with faith, the kingly sway, the power of choice, or the liberty of action to command the cancer where we please, is available to us.

·        Dunamis power The inherent power in every created thing that defines it and gives to it its life.

·        As we spoke earlier on, dunamis power is the inherent power exclusive, to every created thing.  Water, has an inherent power of its own, which gives to it its life, and defines it as water exclusive of any another object.  Cancer has another type of dunamis power.  God has His own dunamis power.  The dunamis or inherent power of Christ resident in us is far in rank and power above the inherent power of any other created object.  Hallelujah!  When we minister, we know that Christ’s inherent power will subordinate, subjugate and destroy the inherent power sustaining the evil that we are ministering against.

·        The inherent or dunamis power of something gives to it life, glory, and honor.  Cancer, though evil in nature, has its own evil glory and honor.  The word, “to rebuke” is defined as “UPON THE HONOR.”  When we rebuke cancer in JESUS NAME, we are heaping Christ’s power to bear upon the honor of the root source of the cancer, the liberty that it exercises and the very inherent power that makes it up and gives to its life.

·        Lordship- Someone or something which can bring into bondage.

·        And every name that identifies something for what it is exclusive of anything else.

22  And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

·        All these Christ subordinated and subjected under His feet.  When God gave Christ be to be head over all of these things to the church; this same power is now available to us.

·         Let us look now at another very important quality of God’s power.  1st Corinthians 15:24 teaches to us how Christ’s dunamis power subordinates and subjugates what is not of Him.

 

1 Cor 15:24  Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down ( TO CAUSE SOMETHING TO BECOME NON OPERATIONAL AND NON WORKING SO THAT IT MUST BE JUNKED!!) all rule and all authority and power.

·         Jesus will give the kingdom to God and the Father only when He shall have rendered totally ineffective (as and old car with an old engine, that finally breaks down and ceases to function any more, and must be junked) every type of principality and roots sources of all evils, all authorities or jurisdictions which are not from God, and every type of inherent power that gives life, function, glory, and honor to evey type of evil.

·        Let us look at a few more examples of Christ’s power cutting the spark plug wires, destroying the distributor cap, and junking the inherent life, glory and honor of other things.

Romans 3:31  Do we then make void (TO CAUSE THE LAW TO BECOME NON OPERATIONAL AND NON WORKING SO THAT IT MUST BE JUNKED!!)  the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. (TO MAKE IT FIRM AND STABLE.)

Romans 6:6  Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed (NON OPERATIONAL, NON WORKING, AND JUNKED)that henceforth we should not serve sin.

1 Corinthians 1:28  And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought (NON OPERATIONAL  NON WORKING AND JUNKED!!) things that are:

1 Corinthians 15:26  The last enemy that shall be destroyed (NON OPERATIONAL, NON WORKING, AND JUNKED!!) is death.

2 Corinthians 3:7  But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away (NON OPERATIONAL,  NON WORKING, AND JUNKED!!)

2 Corinthians 3:11  For if that which is done away (NON OPERATIONAL,  NON WORKING, AND JUNKED!!) was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.

Hebrews 2:14  Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy (NON OPERATIONAL,  NON WORKING, AND JUNKED!!) him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

 

How God’s Resident Power Operates

 

·        In the cartoons of Popeye the sailor man, Popeye would eat a can of spinach, which gave to him inner strength as to his being. This strength was manifested as bulging muscles and an outward dominion, domination, that could subjugate and wipe out Bluto, his archenemy.

·        God’s power acts in the same fashion. God’s dunamis power is defined as the product of the dominion that God exerts over His creation, and over all that is not of Him, as a measure of His inner strength.

 

Ephesians 6:10  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power (OUTWARD DOMINION) of his might.( INNER STRENGTH)

·        Be empowered in the Lord and in the display of outward dominion as a measure of His inner residing strength.

 

Col 1:11  Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious (GLORY) power(DOMINION), unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

·        Strengthened with all dunamis power according to the dominion His glory

 

Eph 3:16  That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened (STRENGTHENED WITH DOMINATING OR SUBJUGATING STRENGTH) with might  (AS SEEN IN HIS DUNAMIS POWER)  by his Spirit in ( AS IT IS FUNNELED INTO) the inner man;

·        In order that He may give you according to the riches of His glory, dunamis power in its facet of dominion by His Spirit to be funneled into our inner man

 

Principles of God’s Energy

·       Energy

Ephesians 1:19  And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, (ACCORDING TO THE ENERGY RELEASED OR PUT FORTH AS HIS INNER STRENGTH IS DISPLAYED AS OUTWARD DOMINION)

·        God’s energy is put forth, or released, as His indwelling strength becomes transferred into external dominion.  This release of energy is called dunamis power.

 

Phillip 3:21  Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working (ENERGY) whereby he is able ( HE HAS THE CAPACITY) even to subdue ( SUBORDINATE IN MILITARY ORDER) all things unto himself.

·        According to the energy by which He is capable and able to subordinate in a military fashion every type of thing unto Himself.

·        One aspect of God’s energy is to subordinate what is not of Him and then to break down, make useless and junk what is not Him.

 

1 Cor 15:24  Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

Rev 12:10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

 

·         Jesus will give the kingdom to God and the Father only when He shall have rendered non operational and totally ineffective (as and old car with an old engine, that finally breaks down and ceases to function any more and must be junked) every type of principalities and roots sources of all evils, all authorities which are not from God, and every type of inherent power that gives life and function to every type of evil.

·        In the OT God desired to have a land, in this case Canaan from which His kingdom could operate. Joshua’s commission was to drive out the evil inhabitants of the land so that the land of Canaan could be cleared and the uncontested rule of God could take place.

·        Today, God does not have a land from where His kingdom’s works can be launched.  The believer is His land.  In proportion to how free the believer is, defines the success of God’s kingdom. In First Cor. 15:24, as well as Rev 12:10 we see that the kingdom is successful to how much principalities, authorities and powers are PUT DOWN and the devil likewise is CAST DOWN.  IN this case these operations must take place in the believer’s life through whom the works of the kingdom operate.

·        It is in proportion to the dunamis power operating through the believer that these operations of deliverance will be successful, since it is God’s dunamis power that effects them.

 

1 Corinthians 12:6  And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh ( ENERGIZES) all in all.(ALL ASPECTS WITHIN EVERY OBJECT IN HIS CREATION)

·        An OPERATION is a work of God which is one hundred and eight degrees opposed to the working in God as to when  HE CAUSES SOMETHING TO BECOME NON OPERATIONAL AND NON WORKING SO THAT IT MUST BE JUNKED!!)

 

1 Corinthians 12:10  To another the working ( OPERATION) of miracles ( DUNAMIS POWER (plural); to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

·        God’s dunamis power at the same time makes totally effective and fully operational the things that belong to His kingdom.  These are called “operations” or “workings’.

 

·        God by His dunamis power renders non-operational, breaks down, and junks all that is not of Him.

·        By that same dunamis power God renders fully functional and fully operational the works of His kingdom. Where the energy of God found in His dunamis power subjugates and dominates and junks what is not of Him, that same energy takes the invisible works of the kingdom, transfers or energizes them through us, and makes them fully operational and effective to accomplish what He wants to in our visible world.  This is called an operation as found in 1Corinthians 12: 6, or a working as found in 1 Corinthians 12:10.

·        A miracle then, is one type of fully functional and fully effective work of God in our visible world that had once been an invisible work of the kingdom of God in the supernatural world.

 

Eph 3:7  Whereof I was made a minister (DIAKONOS), according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

·        The minister of God as a diakonos is the believer in his or her service to God in accordance to their spiritual giftings, ministries and callings.

·        The believer, as a diakonos, must minister step by step with the GRACE of God, which is Christ laboring within them. As we minister step by step with Christ’s labor, His dominion subdues and renders ineffective all that is not of Him, so that His kingdom can be freely and unhindered brought forth through the believer.

·        The invisible works of the kingdom become visible through the spiritual gifts. I

·        The charismatic gifts, and the signs and the wonders, are the outward display of the energy that Christ puts forth or releases as He labors within us (GRACE).  They are displayed as operations.  Charismatic gifts, and signs and wonders are the totally effective and fully operational works of the invisible kingdom. What makes them fully operational is that through the energizing power of God they accomplish in our physical world what God intended for them to perform and what they were already in the invisible supernatural world.

 

Col 1:29  Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working (ENERGY), which worketh (IS ENERGIZED) in me mightily( IN DUNAMIS POWER) .

·        Whereunto I labor to the point of exhaustion, just in the same way that a spiritual athlete would agonize in competitions according to the energy that is effectively put forth by Christ dunamis power as he labors within me (GRACE). Laboring according to Christ’s energy allows its two functions work within us.  PUTTING DOWN and SUBDUING what is not of Him and making FULLY OPERATIONAL what is of Him.

 

Galatians 2:8  (For he that wrought effectually(THAT ENERGIZED) in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty(ENERGIZED)  in me toward( AS I FUNNELED (His ministry) INTO) the Gentiles:)

·        He that energizes by His power into the apostles to subdue and make ineffective (PUT DOWN) what is not of Him and make effective and fully operational (OPERATIONS) the works of the kingdom likewise does exactly in the same way IN US today. Hallelujah!

 

 1 Cor 12:11  But all these worketh ( ENERGIZES) that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing( (DISTRIBUTING) to every man severally as he will (COUNSELS ).

·        All of these things continually energizes the one and the same Spirit dividing separately to each as He counsels.

 

Principles of God’s Power in Healing

 

1 Corinthians 12:10  To another the working (OPERATION) of miracles ( DUNAMIS POWER (plural); to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

 

 Eph 1:21Far above all principality (BEGINNING), and power(AUTHORITY), and might, (DUNAMIS POWER) and dominion( LORDSHIP OR BONDAGE), and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

 

Mat 11:20  Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works ( DUNAMIS POWERS) were done, because they repented not:

·         Where became through Jesus the works (plural) of dunamis power.

 

Mat 11: 21  Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

·        If became the works of dunamis power (plural)

·         

Mat 13:58  And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

·        In absolutely no way could (Jesus) do there many works of dunamis power through their vacuum of faith.

 

Mat 14:2  And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth ( ENERGIZED) themselves in him.

·        This is John the Baptist who has been raised from the corpse, and through this, works of dunamis power are continually and actively energized in him.

 

Mat 22:29  Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing( INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE) the scriptures, nor the power of God.

·        You continually err (from the word for “planet” which means to wander), by not instinctively knowing the scriptures and the dunamis power of God.

·         Knowing by intuition is in the Greek perfect tense.  This means that the Lord expects us to have a very accurate awareness of His voice and a very close intimacy with Him so that we may know Him by intuition, which is being led by the Holy Spirit.

 

Mark 5:30  And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue( DUNAMIS POWER) had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

 

·        Fully and accurately knowing within (Knowledge by learning and experience) Himself, that out of Him (Jesus being the root source of the power) dunamis power had issued, flowed, and emanated out. This teaches us how we must continue to grow and learn about and become proficient in God’s power.

 

Mark 6:2  And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?

·        Such works of dunamis power through the agency of His hands are continually accomplished by Jesus constant activity to obey the Father, and not out of passivity or disobedience.

 

Mark 6:5  And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

·        In absolutely no way was He was capable, and able, there to do any work of power except to lay his hands on a few sick, and He healed them.

 

Mark 6:6  And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.

·        And he marveled continually at their vacuum of faith.

 

Mark 9:39  But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

·        Actively do a work of power upon the foundation of My Name (or within the limits of Christ’s rhema word in the situation.)

 

Luke 4:36  And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

·        What type of word is this?  Because in the world of authority (Absolute power of choice; total liberty to do as one pleases; full jurisdiction such as a state police has over every road and highway within a state; the power of rule and government) and God’s inherent dunamis power, which is greater than the inherent power in the unclean spirits, (He with a word,) militarily commands them, and they come out by their own means.  (In that the word had adversely affected them)

 

Luke 5:17 ¶ And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to (INTO) heal them.

 

·        And the Lord’s dunamis power was present and was being funneled with the objective of curing.

 

Luke 6:19  And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.

·        And the whole crowd sought earnestly, continually, and without ceasing to touch Him, because dunamis power (singular) continually and without ceasing issued, flowed, and emanated out, and continually and without ceasing cured all.

 

Luke 8:46  And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.

·        I know by learning, that dunamis power (singular) issued, flowed, and emanated out from me.

 

Luke 9:1 ¶ Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

·        He gave them once and for all the inherent power of God (mightier than the inherent power resident within any evil thin and containing all the properties found in Eph 1:21) and the authority (Absolute power of choice; total liberty to do as one pleases; full jurisdiction such as a state police has over every road and highway within a state; the power of rule and government) (to use God’s dunamis power effectively over every other evil inherent dunamis power) upon the demons and diseases and sicknesses in order to heal them in the present tense.

·         

Gal 3:5  He therefore that ministereth (Greek literal translation: To supply and equip a chorus of singers( To equip a substantial number of people shows us that the supply of the Holy Spirit for us ample and at the same time constant) )  to you the Spirit, and worketh (ENERGIZES) miracles( WORKS OF DUNAMIS POWER) among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

·        The one who continually and amply supplies to you the Spirit and continually energizes works of dunamis power in you, does He do it out of the works belonging to the law or out of a hearing that is prompted and carried out step by step totally by faith?

 

Eph  1:19  And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

·        The “homerun” greatness of His dunamis power, which is funneled into us the ones who are constantly believing (without doubting). 

 

 

Philippians 3: 10  That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

 

·        That I may progressively know Him better through learning about Him and His dunamis power as it is manifested by His resurrection within me, and the koinonia of His sufferings. All of this is accomplished, as I am metamorphosised (from a caterpillar to a butterfly) with Him nto all that comprised His physical, emotional, and spiritual death, while He was here on earth.

 

 

Heb 1:3  Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

 

·        Who being the “shining forth,” of a light coming from a luminous body (Vine) and the “out-raying” (Vincent) of God’s glory, and the very character of what makes up the foundation and essence of who God is, continually bearing all things by the rhema word which defines the acts of His dunamis power to us humans.

 

 

Principles of God’s Authority in Healing

 

Galatians 3:27  For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

·        We are NOW CLOTHED with Christ.  Likewise, in accordance to Galatians 2:20, we are dead and Christ now lives in us.  The “I” in us is no longer you and me.  The “I” in us, is now Christ.

·        If we minister in accordance to the voice of God (His rhema word), it becomes Christ who is ministering, it becomes Christ who is touching people, and it is Christ who is laying His hands upon people.  We must believe by faith that His dunamis power and authority are at work.

·        Mat 10:1 ¶ And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

·        He gave to them as an accomplished event in the timeline of history (“a done deal”), authority (Absolute power of choice; total liberty to do as one pleases; full jurisdiction such as a state police has over every road and highway within a state; the power of rule and government) over spirits which are corrupt and defiled as to their nature, so as to presently and continually drive or kick them out, and to continually and presently heal every type of disease, sickness, and every infirmity, debility, and bodily weakness.

 

Matthew 28:18  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power  is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

·        Jesus spoke to them saying, it has been given to Me every type of authority (Absolute power of choice; total liberty to do as one pleases; full jurisdiction such as a state police has over every road and highway within a state; the power of rule and government) in the world of heaven, and upon the earth.

 

Luke 10:19  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

·        Lo, I presently give to you the authority (Absolute power of choice; total liberty to do as one pleases; full jurisdiction such as a state police has over every road and highway within a state; the power of rule and government) to continually trample upon serpents and scorpions and crush them with your feet, and upon all the inherent dunamis power that gives to the enemy his life, and makes him into what he is; and absolutely nothing, in any wise, will hurt you (as to cause you to suffer spiritually).

 

 1 Cor 15:24  Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

·         Jesus will give the kingdom to God and the Father only when He shall have rendered totally ineffective (as and old car with an old engine, that finally breaks down and ceases to function any more and must be junked) every type of principalities and roots sources of all evils, all authorities which are not from God, (Absolute power of choice; total liberty to do as one pleases; full jurisdiction such as a state police has over every road and highway within a state; the power of rule and government) and every type of inherent power that gives life and function to every type of evil.

 

Col 2:10  And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

·        And you are in Him in now, in an absolute state of being completed forevermore, whose is the Head of all creations, root situations, and beginnings, and authority (Absolute power of choice; total liberty to do as one pleases; full jurisdiction such as a state police has over every road and highway within a state; the power of rule and government).

 

Col 2:15  And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

·         Having totally pushed off and separated from Himself, by disarming, every type of evil principality and (also all evil creations, roots, and beginnings) and authorities which are not from Him, (Absolute power of choice; total liberty to do as one pleases; full jurisdiction such as a state police has over every road and highway within a state; the power of rule and government), Jesus made and example of them…

 

Jude 1:25  To the only wise God, our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

·        Glory (the ability to be made visible through His attributes,), greatness, dominion to subjugate and subordinate all which is not from Him, and authority (Absolute power of choice; total liberty to do as one pleases; full jurisdiction such as a state police has over every road and highway within a state; the power of rule and government), both now, and into all the types of ages to come, Amen.

 

Col 1:18  And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

·        And He is the head of the body, the church, (or the assembly of “called out ones” in order to serve God’s purposes).  He is the beginning, the root source, and the creation.   This is because He has become first in rank, influence and honor by being the first one to be raised from the dead (in God’s economy of redeeming all that had been lost by sin, through Christ, by resurrection). This Christ did, so that He can come to hold the first place in all things.

Principles of Faith in Healing

 

(Please refer to the companion teaching on “ Faith” July 31s,t as well to the one within the subsection on “Faith”.)

 

Matthew 8:13  And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

Matthew 15:28  Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

·        The word “as” has a powerful connotation in New Testament scriptures.  It is defi
