MINISTRY OF THE Word

Apostles Drs. Richard and Kellie Cianchetti

PART ONE: GOD’S WILL FOR HEALING

HEALING SCRIPTURES:

1) Isaiah 53:5: “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The Chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”

2) 1 Peter 2:24: “ Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we having died to sins, might live for righteousness – By whose stripes you were healed.”

3) Mark 16: 17-18

4) Mark 5:25-34

5) Mathew 8:17

6) Mathew 10:8-9

7) Mark 11:24

MINISTER HEALING BY LAYING ON OF HANDS:

1) I minister on four passages of scripture under a method called Faith Healing. It is called Faith Healing because you must exercise your Faith to receive healing, but I also exercise Faith on your behalf.

2) I am not the healer – Jesus is. Therefore, those coming to me for healing must look beyond me and see Jesus.

3) Faith Healing is not the only way to be healed. I know of seven different ways to be healed, but this is the primary way the Holy Spirit uses me in Ministry.

4) In order to be healed in this method, you have to know that it is God’s Will that you be healed.

5) It is not enough to know that God can heal you if He wants to; you have to know that He does want to.

6) You have to know that it is His Will for you to be healed, because faith can only be exercised where the Will of God is known.

7) In other words, if you don’t know that God wants to heal you, how can you exercise faith to believe that He will?

8) You might hope that he will, but hoping is not faith. The only way you can do that is to know God’s Will. The only place where we can find God’s will is in His Word. God’s Will is His Word. (The Bible)

9) Let me show you two passages of scripture, out of many, that will show that it is the Will of God for you to be healed.

10) The first passage we look at is Mathew 8:17: “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet Isaiah saying...”He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses”.

11) Please note that it says: “He Himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses.” It is obvious that if He took them Himself, that He does not want us to have them. If he did want us to have them, He wouldn’t have taken them!”

12) The second scripture is 1 Peter 2:24: “Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we having died to sins, might live for righteousness - By whose strips you were healed. (39 stripes on His Back represent 39 Major Diseases in the world).

13) The word “were” is past tense and it indicates that as far as God is concerned, we are already healed. Not going to be healed, but were healed.

14) We have to know that, believe that, and by faith receive it, and then it becomes yours personally. Now when it says that “by His stripes you were healed”, it refers to when Jesus was beaten and whipped by the Romans with a leather whip.

15) The heavenly Father then saw every major disease of Man-kind transferred (symbolically) to the body of Jesus thru the lashes of the whip.

16) Then they took him to Calvary and killed Him. When they killed him, they killed the sickness and diseases. That why in the bible it says “By His Stripes you were healed”.

17) The third scripture we look at explains why I lay hands on the sick. The laying on of hands is one of God’s accepted methods by which His Healing Power is released on your behalf.

18) When I lay hands on you, it becomes a channel through which His Healing Power flows to your body. With that in mind, look at the words of Mark: 16:17-18. “And these signs will follow them that believe; In my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

19) Notice it says those signs will follow them that believe……”In My name,…….they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.” So if you are sick, you qualify for this. I am one of those who believes, I have hands, so I qualify to minister. That means that we can expect it to work, because we meet the qualifications.

ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH: Jesus said, “……they will recover,” so there is no way that I can tell you how long it may take because I don’t know the level of your Faith is at any particular time in your spiritual growth and development. It’s the Faith that releases the healing power of God. There is a case of the woman with the flow of blood for twelve years (Mark 5:25-34). Consider the verse 34: “and He said to her, daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”

20) In Mark 11: 24: It says “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” At the very moment you pray, believe that you receive your healing. He says “When you Pray, believe that you receive them………Them what? Them desires, in this case your healing!.

21) After you have prayed and believed that you have received them, the most natural thing to say after I pray for you and lay hands on you is “Father I thank you. I believe that I received my healing and therefore I believe that I am healed.

22) You are making a confession of Faith. You are not saying that you know that you are healed; you are not saying that you look like you are healed; you are saying, “I believe that I am healed.”

23) God’s Word then becomes your evidence, not your physical body. God’s Word says that with His Stripes, you were healed, so that is your evidence. You need to continue making that confession until the manifestation comes.

24) Let’s look at Mark 11:23 about our confession, and Proverbs 18:21.

PART II: PROSPERITY: “God’s News for God’s People”

SEED TIME AND HARVEST:

1). There is a time frame from the time you begin tithing until the blessing shows up. I am sure that you know that you can’t plant a seed on Sunday morning, and get a harvest by Sunday night. Seeds don’t grow that fast.

2). The moment you plant the seed into good ground, the germination process begins. When the elements of the seed and the soil begin the interact, germination immediately begins.

3). A few weeks later you go out to water the seed where you planted it, you may notice that the earth is cracked in that area. The next day when you check it, the crack begins to grow wider.

4). In the following days, you will begin to see a small blade pop out of the ground. In the coming weeks the blade gets bigger and bigger until it becomes a full plant.

5), When you first saw the green blade above the ground is not when the seed started growing. The seed was growing all the time, but the ground hindered you from seeing it. This is why it is important to maintain your confession of “I believe I received”, because in the spirit world, such a profession keeps your plant (whatever you are believing and confessing for) growing.

6). Don’t do as some people do relative to tithing. When they don’t see a manifestation of what they are believing for right away, they say, “well, that is really something! I planted that seed seven days ago and I don’t see anything yet. I will just go ahead and pour cement over it and make a patio instead.

7). If you do that you will be missing your blessing. In the natural, you have learned to have confidence that the seed you may have planted is growing all the time, even though you can’t see it.

8). Your physical eyes cannot penetrate the ground, but you keep watering your seed, believing eventually you will see the results. It is the same in the spirit world. You cannot see into the spirit world just as you cannot see into the ground.

9). Since you believe God is going to pour you out a blessing, you should have your baskets ready to receive. You have to do this by Faith, or the devil will steal what rightfully belongs to you. You can have confidence that he cannot steal what belongs to you because of what God promises in Malachi 3:11.

“and I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field.” Says the Lord of Hosts. Amen!

10). Once I found out how to operate in the provisions God has made available for the body of Christ, I was able to get out from under that curse that he had plagued me all of my adult life.

(Give short testimony about getting our needs met, with school of ministry and not working)

10). Once I discovered that the way to prosperity was through tithing, I got on it like white on rice, and stuck with it.

11), Once you start tithing, it’s like your under an umbrella of God’s protection. It may be raining all around you, but while you are under the umbrella, it is dry. The rain is like the curse of the Law falling all around us on this earth, but we can get underneath the umbrella of God’s Word.

12). It takes time for a person’s Faith to grow to a point where the person starts receiving the fruit from the seed that has been planted into the Kingdom thru tithes and offerings.

13). Now if you should decide to borrow from the tithe because of some pressing financial need, with the intention of tithing again, then there is a 20% penalty added to it.

Levitus: 27:30.31: “And all the tithe of the land whether of the seed of the land or of of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s. It is Holy to the Lord. If a man wants at all to redeem any of his tithes, he shall add one-fifth, or 20% to it.

14). When you stop tithing, you are operating under the curse, and subject to the attacks of the enemy

PART III: FAITH - “ACTING ON THE WORD OF GOD”

END

PART – IV “PRAYER”- What is it and How to do it”

PRAYER OF INTERCESSION:

1) This is when you pray for someone else totally and completely, and when you pray for someone else (or some other things) without knowing what the circumstances and situations are.

2) There are two sides of Intercession. On one side of intercession, we get into agreement about somebody or something and pray for them in English, telling God what we want. The other side – the very high end of Intercession – is where we may not even know who is being prayed for. The Holy Spirit will place a strong urge in your spirit to pray for something, or someone. Sometimes the Lord will place someone before you, and you will have a mini-vision and see that person, but you do not know what you are supposed to pray about or you do not know their problem or what they need.

3) This is where you will get into true intercession. You will not do this in your native tongue, because you will not know what to pray for, This is what Romans 8:26 is referring to:

4) “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weakness, For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us without groaning which cannot be uttered.”

5) When we pray in the understanding, you pray based upon your perceived knowledge, meaning that your prayers will be limited to what you know about a particular situation, place or thing.

6) When you pray in the spirit two very important things happen; your mind cannot get in the way to confuse the issues; and neither can the devil, because he does not know what you are saying, or what you are praying about.

7) When you pray in English, the devil can hear and know what you are praying about, and can interject some thoughts into your mind while you are praying. I believe that praying in the Spirit or tongues is the perfect way to pray. We are much more effective because we under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Amen

8) It is true intercession when you pray in the Spirit. Sometimes one might get what is termed a burden of Prayer – “Burden, not in the negative sense, but in a intense urgency to pray about a specific person, or particular situation. In this kind of praying, you pray until the burden lifts.

9) It could be 15 minutes, an hour, or even all day. The important thing is for you to pray until you receive a release in your spirit. And you will know when you do. Christians need to pray specifically for each other in the family of God.

10) We should also pray for the Lord of the Harvest will send the right laborers to the right people so that many will be saved. Amen!!

PRAYER OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP:

1) This is a prayer between you and the Lord, and all you are doing is telling Him how much you love Him, just like you would do your sweetheart. You are not asking Him for anything. You are sending up sweet savor unto Him of adoration, appreciation, and thanksgiving.

2) Do you take the time to thank the Lord? Or do you take His blessings for granted, and not give a second thought yow hast He has done and is doing in your life.

3) The Prayer of Thanksgiving is one of the simplest ways of praying, but it is one of the most effective.

PRAYER OF CONSECRATION:

1) This prayer is where you place yourself in a position to be used of God. You have to use “If it be thy Will” in this type of prayer, because you cannot find God’s will concerning the situation in the Bible.

2) Example: “Lord, you have called me and I accept and acknowledge your call upon my life. I am prepared to do whatever you want me to do, “If it be thy Will” that I go to Long Beach California to establish a ministry, I am willing to go – not my will, but your will be done.”

3) What you are doing is placing yourself in a position to be used of God and giving Him license and acknowledging His Claim over your life.

4) Jesus prayed this type of prayer before He went to the Cross. In His case, it was going to cost His life – not only physically, but it was going to cost Him by separating Him from the Father God, and He had never known separation. Jesus did not want to be separated, but He was obedient to the death.

5) In essence He said “Father if there is another way to redeem mankind without me having to become sin, let it be done. Let this cup pass from me. But not my will, but your will be done”

6) You never use a Prayer of Consecration and Dedication when you are trying to pay your bills. If you tack “If it be thy will” on the end a petition prayer, you are praying in doubt. And to do so would cancel out the prayer.

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE:

1). Now that I shared with you what prayer is, and how to do it, you need to know what to do with what you know how to do. In other words, you can know how to start an automobile, but that does not mean you know what to do with it once it’s started.

2) If you will learn to accurately apply the following ingredients, every prayer will be answered. I can guarantee you that, based on the authority of God’s Word. These ingredients here deal with petition prayer, which is the prayer that has to do with you and the Father – just the two of you.

Ingredient #1: Decide what you want from God; then find the scripture that promises it to you. If you do not know what you want, that is exactly what you will get – nothing. Some of you have never been specific, and that’s why you have not received anything.

The clearly revealed Word of God is the foundation for Prayer. Your prayer is doomed before it ever leaves your mouth if you are praying outside the Will of God. You must find out what the Word of God says first in order to know whether you are praying for, is outside God’s will.

A good rule of thumb is to never pray for something for which you cannot find a scriptural promise. You will have to use wisdom in searching, because you are not going to find “Cadillac” or “Rolls-Royce”

Once you have decided what you want from God, and have found the scripture that promises it to you, be prepared for a fight as you stand in Faith. If you are not prepared for a fight, then you are not prepared to pray, because Satan is going to pull out all stops as he contests every inch of ground that you try to reclaim.

Ingredient#2: Ask God for the things you want, then believe that you have them. I did not say that you are going to get them, but believe that you have them. That is present tense. It might not make sense, but we are dealing with God’s Word and with Faith in His Word. Amen!

You must ask! There is no such thing as a silent or unspoken request. I might say something softly and Inaudibly that you will not hear me, but I am still saying it. Even if I whisper, I am speaking. As long as the Man upstairs hears me, that’s all that matters’.

How did God create the Word? The bible says that God said, “Let there be,”…and there was. It does not say that God thought. Nothing came into existence, until after God said it. And nothing is coming to you until after you say it.

Ingredient#3: Let every thought and desire affirm that you have received what you have asked for. Guard against negative thoughts which Satan will try to intimidate you. Do not accept anything except what you have asked for. Some people do not have much patience, but you have to be prepared to stand for 10,000 years if it takes that long for the manifestation of your answer.

Ingredient #4: Thoughts are governed by or controlled by observation, association, and teaching. You need to stay away from all places and things that do not support your affirmation that God has answered your prayer. What affects your thinking will affect your talking, and what affects your talking, will affect your faith, and what affects your faith will affect your life. Be careful what you read, and be careful with whom you associate. You cannot afford to be around negative people. Love and pray for them afar.

Every experience must come up to God’s Word. Remember what I said about Death and life are in the power of the tongue.(Proverbs 18:21). Bring every thought in to the obedience to the Word of God. If you want to stay consistent, you have to stay with the winner, the Word of God.

Ingredient #5: Think constantly on the promises on which you have based the answer to your prayer. (Prov. 4:20-23) If you take a steady diet of God’s Word, you will health. Do not think on the problem, think on the solution. Do not talk about the problem, talk about the solution. See yourself out of the problem. Base the solution on God’s Word.

Ingredient #6: In your wakening moments, think on the love, mercy, goodness, and blessings of God. Talk about a shot of adrenaline! It will shoot your faith right up to the top. Think on how good the Lord is”. Psalms 150:6.

Ingredient #7: Make every word relative to what you have asked for a statement of Faith. Romans 10:17 Make you word a statement of Faith rather than a statement of doubt and unbelief. God says that you have enough Faith, now you say you have enough Learn what God says about you in His Word. He will hear you and grant you the request based upon His Word. Make every statement a statement of Faith, not doubt.

Titus 1:2: tells us something very important. God cannot lie. If He cannot lie, then that means He can only tell the truth, when He tells me to pray and believe that I receive and I shall have, bless God, it is on its way, I have it, it’s mine.
