Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

In this inspiring message, Pastor Bobby Schuller teaches that divine power and healing flow when believers move from merely hearing God's word to genuinely receiving it. Rather than settling for a form of godliness that denies God's power, we are called to embrace scripture as the literal, active word of God that brings physical health and spiritual freedom. By removing resistance to the Holy Spirit and internalizing God's promises like daily bread, we can walk in complete confidence, restoration, and faith.

Key Points

1.
True faith requires walking in divine spiritual power and trusting God rather than maintaining an outward form of godliness while denying His power.
2.
God's words carry life and physical health to those who listen attentively and store scripture deep in their hearts.
3.
Multitudes gathered around Jesus to hear Him preach and be healed, showing that hearing and receiving His word activates divine healing power.
4.
Hearing scripture is not enough; believers must receive it as the literal, active word of God speaking directly to them today.
5.
God's promises assure believers of both the complete forgiveness of sins and the physical healing of diseases.
6.
A hardened or calloused heart prevents people from spiritually seeing, hearing, and receiving God's restoration.
7.
Believers must actually consume scripture like fresh bread or take it like medicine, rather than merely affirming its theoretical truth without internalizing it.
8.
Spiritual power flows freely when believers lower their resistance to the Holy Spirit and scripture, becoming conductors and superconductors of God's presence.

Sermon Moments

“If God tore open the sky and declared His promise to you directly, you would not doubt it for a second—we must receive His written scripture with that exact same certainty.”

“We are not separate from the 'early church' of the New Testament; God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and His power is still active now.”

“Having a form of godliness while denying God's supernatural power leaves believers powerless, but walking in faith unlocks His divine grace.”

“It is not enough to admire a basket of warm bread and affirm that it is nutritious; you must actually eat the bread for it to nourish your body.”

“Acknowledging that medicine works is useless unless you take it; in the same way, we must ingest and absorb God's word into our daily lives.”

“An electrical conductor offers little resistance to power, while a superconductor offers zero resistance—we ought to yield fully to the Holy Spirit with no spiritual resistance.”

“You do not learn how to understand a cat by cutting it up in a lab, but by living with it; similarly, we know scripture by walking in relationship with God rather than coldly dissecting it.”

This Week

Practice receiving scripture as God's direct, personal word to you rather than treating it like an ancient or ordinary book.

Speak God's promises of physical health and healing over your body daily, declaring His word over every cell.

Soften your heart through prayer and humility so you can hear and receive God's truth without callousness or spiritual hardness.

Examine areas of your life where you might have an outward form of godliness while relying on human effort instead of God's power.

Stand firmly on Psalm 103:2-3, thanking God for both forgiving all your sins and healing your physical body.

Stop resisting the promptings of the Holy Spirit, aligning your daily thoughts with scripture rather than worldly fear or news.

Consume God's word like daily spiritual bread and medicine by meditating deeply on His promises until they transform your spirit.

Remember This

God's power to heal and deliver is fully active today when believers move beyond merely hearing His word to truly receiving it as His direct truth.

A Challenge for You

Father, we come before You in Jesus' name and desire to be conductors and superconductors. We are asking that You would heal us and heal through us, and that we decide today to be people of little resistance. We ask Holy Spirit that You would fall in power.
