Samuel Rodriguez - Healing Is Here
You should know the phrase already, come hell or high water...(I'm on my way to Rome). Come hell or high water...(I'm on my way to Rome). So, last night after 12 O' clock midnight, this is the word God gave me for this house. So, this is not like an already prefabricated message, which is okay, but it wasn't that. I heard the Holy Spirit speak to me about this family, this tribe, those that are online, those in this auditorium, a specific word for this house.
So, I'm gonna relay it and see if you receive it. If you learn to shake things off, if the fire of the Holy Spirit inside of you has officially made you and your family a snake free zone. If you permit God to convert your trauma into a testimony. Let me repeat that. When you let God change your trauma into a testimony, you will conquer new territories. Then here's the word of the Lord for you, here it is. Here's what God gave me last night. Get ready for unprecedented healing, for unbridled provision, and for unstoppable favor. I'm gonna repeat that. Get ready for unprecedented healing, for unbridled provision, and unstoppable favor.
If you receive that already, give him the kind of praise that lets him know you're all in. Let's make it legal with the Word of God. Acts 28, the rest of the story. "That all the other sick people on the island came and were healed," all of them were healed. "As a result, we were showered with honors and when the time came to sail, the people supplied us with everything we would need for the trip". Somebody say, "Everything. When we arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted to have his own private lodging, though he was guarded by a soldier. The Romans tried me and wanted to release me," verse 18, "Because they found no cause for the death sentence. But when the Jewish leaders protested, I felt it necessary to appeal to Caesar".
Verse 21, "They replied, 'we have no letters from Judea or reports against you from anyone who has come here'". In other words, we can't find the paperwork to convict you. We can't find the paperwork. You traveled here in an appeal process, and now the paperwork that accuse you cannot be found. "For the next two years," verse 30, "Paul lived in Rome at his own expense. He welcomed all who visited him, boldly proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord, Jesus Christ".
Here's the last sentence of this narrative, "No one tried to stop him". Somebody say, "I'm on my way to Rome". On your way to Rome, get ready to see healings like never before. I'mma repeat that for somebody here. On your way to Rome, get ready to see healings like never before. Healing is here. All the other, everyone, the other sick people on the island, not some, everyone was healed. Everyone. Not some of the people who were sick, but everyone. I don't know about you, but I still believe that there is power in the name of Jesus. I still believe there is salvation in the name of Jesus, I still believe there is deliverance in the name of Jesus, and I definitely, likewise believe there is still healing in the name of Jesus.
It may be 2024 and we have artificial intelligence, and we have ChatGPT, and we have so many things happening around the world. In light of all that context, there is still healing in the name of Jesus. There is a great debate in Christendom, exacerbated, elevated, the great chasm, via the conduit of social media. There's a great debate, even in the Christian community, whether or not healings are still applicable today. There are churches that used to believe in healing that no longer believe in healing, and there is a debate with the millennials in Generation Z committed, some of them not all, to deconstructionism.
Looking at the faith, believing that healing ended with the New Testament. What they need to do is come to Maui, because I believe there are some people in this auditorium that can bear witness, not because they read about it or heard about it. There are people in this auditorium who can attest in a court of law that Jesus healed you. Anyone here a byproduct of a healing touch? Anyone here not feel or hope or think, but you know that Jesus is the healer? Anyone receive that Jehovah Rapha reality in your lives and in your bodies? Jesus is the healer. "Your salvation will come like the Dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal," Isaiah 58:8. "He personally carried our sins in his body, on the cross, that we may be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds, you are healed," 1 Peter 2:24.
We are healed, we are healed. God never changes. There's healing. Raise your hand like this. I wanna give you what the Lord gave me. We're about to experience, because we learned to shake things off and we're on our way to Rome. Rome is that prophetic metaphor for the fulfillment of God's assignment for our respective lives. To fill the earth with the glory of Jesus through all of your actions, words, deeds, and thoughts. That's your Rome. But with your hands like this, let me tell you what the Lord gave me. We're about to step into a season of unprecedented healings.
What does that mean? Physical healing is yours. How many believe that? I'm gonna do that one more time. Physical healing is yours. Diabetes comes to an end right here, right now, in the name of Jesus. Heart disease comes to an end right here, right now. Every cancerous cell shrivels up and dies in the mighty, authoritative name of Jesus. Back issues come to an end right here, right now. Auto immune disease come to an end right here right now. If you believe that there is still healing power in the name of Jesus, shout like your healing's already here. Physical healing, in you and in your family members, and the people.
Mental healing... somebody say, "Mental healing". He heals your mind. Depression, anxiety, fear, come to an end right here. Financial healing. I said financial healing... I said financial healing... The enemy's objective is to keep you financially imperpetual, debt impoverished, because if you have the resources, the enemy understands you won't advance the kingdom of heaven here on earth, and you will become the greatest blessing to everyone you know. So, in the name of Jesus, we decree and declare by the authority of God's word that financial healing is yours in 2024. Somebody receive that.
Relational healing is yours. Your family, your familia, your ohana, your relationships, healed. I like that. Spiritual healing is yours. Healed from spiritual injuries, from spiritual trauma, from church hurt. "Praise the Lord my soul. Do not forget all his benefits, who forgives all of your sins and heals," some "Of your diseases". The majority of your diseases... (all). He heals all of your... I've been healed. And physically, I've done nothing major, but God took care of me divinely, but even the little things I had, one time I was told that when I was about 20. I was already preaching for four years.
And when I was 20, the doctor did, they did a cat scan, and I had massive migraine headaches. And the doctor, not knowing, I was 20. Not knowing what I did, I was a student at Penn State University, and I was preaching. And the doctor, they did a cat scan, doctor comes back and says, "Well, let me tell you what's going up. In the back, right here of your brain, the reason you have these pains is because the vein, your vein is a bit smaller than everyone else's, so the blood coming to your brain," he said, "It's not gonna do anything, you're gonna live out your life span," he goes, "The only", watch, so help me. She was, "The only thing is, just be careful ever getting excited".
She told the Puerto Rican, Pentecostal preacher not to get excited. But again, not knowing what I did. So, this is, and she could bear witness to this. There is, so you know, obviously I went like, "What do I do? This is my calling, you know, this is what I do". No, I'm 20 years old and there was a television program of a prominent name, usually name you would mention. For ethical purposes, I won't reference it, but a name everybody here would mention. And I'm 20, and this guy's on television, and on television he starts saying, "There's a young," stops the program and says, "There's a young man from Pennsylvania who is a preacher, who has something back here. The Lord says you're healed right here right now".
Went back to the doctor completely healed, never to have an issue ever again. But that wasn't my biggest healing. My biggest healing took place right about 2006. I was advising president George w. Bush back then, and it was the beginning of my presidential advisory days, that only came because God gave me a word when I was 12 to 13 years of age. And I'm fulfilling my God-ordained assignment, on my way to Rome, all hell broke out against me. And I mean all hell. And so, it wasn't just one snake, it was a snake, the snake's cousin, aunty, neighbor, the whole gang, the whole neighborhood just went, "Blah"!
So, I was overwhelmed. Full disclosure, I was miserable. Depression was so intense. At that time I was so immature, I couldn't handle the pressure. I didn't know how to balance it. I let it get to me in such a way that I became miserable. So, I got to the point, I looked at my wife, and she's driving me to Sacramento airport, I'm en route to South Carolina for a conference. And I look at her, and we're arguing in the car. And in the car, I am telling her, "I want you to look at me. I've come to the complete, inevitable conclusion that I will never be happy. I'm not denying God or the purpose. I'm gonna fulfill my calling, but I'm gonna be miserable doing it. Matter of fact, if I'm gonna fake it, I'm gonna warn you, I'm gonna fake it for you. I'm gonna fake I'm happy for my kids, and I'm so creative, I'm gonna fake happy even to myself. But I know in my heart of hearts that I will never be happy".
I looked at her and said, "Look at me. I'm never gonna be happy. Say it, 'you're never gonna be happy'". She said, "I refuse to say that". I go, "No, no happy, no happy. The word happy, happy, happy, happy will never come out. I will never be happy. Happiness will avoid me. For whatever reason, this is the cross I have to bear. I could never be happy. I'll be a miserable preacher and that's it. Never to be happy. Say it with me". She went, "No". And then she started crying, and then she started crying in Spanish. With an accent. Couldn't understand it. And so, there it is. And so, she drops me off Sacramento Airport, I'm getting off, "Look at me, I'm never gonna be happy". She says, "No, I'm gonna pray for you, for God to speak to you".
I go, "I'm never gonna be happy, I'm never gonna be happy. I'm never gonna be happy". I close the door and went into my flight. I arrived in South Carolina, I ministered for three days. Sunday comes around, Sunday afternoon, my last impartation, river of life church, Columbia, South Carolina. Pastor Sam Snider, I'll give you all the data. And I preached there, and this is before Google, Facebook, Instagram, all of that. And so, I preached there, I'm wrapping up, Sam looks at me and says, "Hey Sam," I'm Sam, Sam, "Sam, you wanna get a bite to eat"? "Let's get a bite to eat, I have to catch my flight, Sam, so let's go".
We're about to catch something to eat, maybe at Ryan's or something in Columbia, South Carolina. So, we're about to get a bite to eat. All of a sudden, this lady comes up here talking to an usher, Sam brings the lady over, and the lady comes over and the lady says, "Oh, I got you". And I'm going like, "Okay".
This is after the service, after the whole altar call and everything. I'm going like... She goes, "I was looking for you". I go like, "I'm here". She goes, "Samuel Rodriguez"? I go, "Mhm, yeah". She goes, "Yeah. Woah". She goes, "I've been looking for you". I go, "Okay". She goes, "2:30 in the morning, God woke me up and said, 'give a word for Samuel Rodriguez'. I'm not from here, I'm from North Carolina, my pastor is Rick Joyner," blah, blah, blah. Gave me a whole story, "I'm part of, I'm one of the elders". And I go like, "Okay". She goes, "I didn't listen to your preaching. I just got here right now". I go like, "Okay". She goes, "I have a word for you". I go like, "Okay". She goes, "Wait a minute, listen, I had to go through, the Lord said 'Samuel Rodriguez, Columbia'".
Now, this is before Google and all that. She went, "So, I went to the world wide web, and I looked for church conferences, looking for your name to pop up, and after I went through all these churches, I finally found this church because the Lord said, 'Samuel Rodriguez' by name, so I came here and I finally found you, and I drove two and a half hours to get here". I go, "Okay". Now, I'm already thinking she's off the rails. And she looks at me and says, "Okay, I have a word for you from heaven". And I'm going like, "Okay". And she goes, "I want you to know that I'm not crazy". Anyone ever approaches you with the phrase, "I want you to know I'm not crazy," that is a good sign that that person is probably crazy. She goes, "I'm not crazy".
And I go, like, off the bat, I'm more than agnostic now, I'm going like, "Who permitted her to get here to me"? Right? So, I'm going like, "Okay, ma'am". I'm walking away. She goes, "I have a word for you and I promise you I'm not crazy". I get that. "I'm an elder in the church. You can call up my pastor, I'm not crazy". I go, "Hmm, okay, you're gonna have to give me". Listen, she goes, "I promise you, I promise you". "Ma'am, give me the word". But she goes, "I've never given a word like this before". I go like, "Yeah, okay, well, God bless you, amen, praise the Lord". She goes, "No, no, no, no, no, no, here's the word, here's the word, but I'm not crazy". I go, "Will you give me, I have to leave, ma'am. I really do have to leave".
Now, I'm getting flustered, I'm going like, "Guys, stop this," right? She goes, "Here's the word. I've never given this". I go, "Give me the word". She goes, "Okay. The Lord says, 'Sam, Samuel,' the Lord says, 'happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy'". Don't tell me God doesn't answers prayers. Don't tell me God will not respond. I'm preaching to somebody in this place right now. I'm here to tell you, get ready to be healed not just physically, but emotionally, and mentally.
Get ready to be happy, happy, happy, happy. Is this for anybody in this place? I fell on my face, it changed our lives. Right there I fell on my face. Back then, 2006, three was a NexTel phone with a little walkie-talkie on the side. Y'all remember? Like, you could call, you go like beep, beep, beep, beep. And I went down and I went beep, beep, beep. And I beep, beep, beeped her. And I went, "You're not gonna believe this. Happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy".
Just specific, I'm here to tell you God has the power to turn it around. God has the power to heal every aspect of your life. Let me just speak right now by the anointing of the Holy Spirit. If there was a lack of joy, if there was a lack of peace, of tranquility, I need you and your family to be inundated with the joy of the Lord like never before. 2024, God's gonna restore your joy, restore your peace. Oh, I preaching to somebody. You are about to see that mourning change and converted into dancing, and the ashes are about to be replaced with a garment of praise.
Are you ready to experience joy like you've never be... Anyone here ready for the joy of the Lord like you've never ever experienced before? Somebody shout, "Happy, happy, happy, happy". On your way to Rome, God will provide you for what you need for the journey. As a result, not only everyone was healed, the next thing that happened, people showered us with honors, when the time came to sail, they supplied us with everything we would need for the trip. God will provide your needs. I said, God will provide your needs. How many believe this will be the year of unbridled provision? How many need this to be the year of unbridled provision?
Matter of fact, let's go beyond that. Philippians 4:19, "He will provide all of your needs according to his riches which are in"? 2 Corinthians 9:8, "He will generously provide everything you need," but not just that he says, "You will have enough overflow where you will have leftovers where you will share with others". Anybody here ready to go from overwhelmed to overflow? 2024 will be for you and your house, you and your calling, you and your family, you and your ministry. The year that every need will be met. But likewise, you will experience the overflow from heaven where your cup will run over. Praise, if it's your word.
Somebody say, "Overflow". Overflow! And when you get to Rome, you have unstoppable favor. They replied, "'we have no letters from Judea or reports against you from anyone'. He stayed for two years preaching, and no one tried to stop him". When Paul got to Rome, they couldn't find the paperwork. When Paul got to Rome, the accusation fell apart. What the enemy intended for harm, God turned it around in his favor, and his preaching, and his ministry. He turned it around. He turned everything around. He got to Rome and he became an unstoppable preacher of the gospel. Unstoppable. Somebody say, "Unstoppable".
Unstoppable, unstoppable. Whatever storm you've been through, whatever shipwreck you've experienced, all the snakes you had to shake off, if you permit, if you permit that fire, that Holy Spirit fire to infiltrate and inundate every aspect of your life, where your life becomes a snake free zone. If you permit God to change your trauma into a testimony, where you permit God to use what you went through to heal the people around you, then I promise you this word is for you. You're about to experience healing like never before. Not just in you, but in the people around you, how about this? And through you.
Your life is about to become, you're about to see God use your life to heal people, to heal even people you know and people you don't know. You're gonna become a conduit for the supernatural, and divine provision is yours. The vision God gave you, he's gonna provide the resources to make that vision a reality. I'mma prophesy to somebody right now. You're on your way to Rome, and this year, you will see God provide everything you need in order for you and your family, you are on your way to Rome, I'm gon' say it. And this will be the year that God provides everything you need to fulfill your... come on, if this is your word, shout like it's your word. This is the year.
