The biggest hindrance to healing is the conscience of the person praying. That’s the biggest hindrance. If you don’t think that God can use a person like you, don’t lay hands on them, because He won’t. All you are doing is hurting people, because they won’t see anything, and then they will say, “God doesn’t want me well.” No, it’s not God that don’t. It’s you that don’t, because you didn’t get right before you did it, and you have no confidence in God. Usually it is more about you than God. [You have two biblical ways to confidence in God. 1. To you, your walk is perfect and you have no sense of sin. 2. To you, the name of Jesus has made you the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus because of the remission in the blood of Jesus, independent of your sins, and you have confidence in God because you have confidence in the work of Jesus.] The Bible talks about having a clean conscience before God. Because, if your conscience is clean, you have confidence toward God. That’s what the Bible says. If you have confidence toward God, guess what? That’s called faith. Then you will get what you prayed for. Have a clear conscience. [1 John 3:21-22 21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. 22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.”] T It’s the number one hindrance, in my opinion, to the power of God. Because people think, “I’m not worthy for God to use me.” You still won’t be worthy. You can’t be worthy in that sense. He makes you worthy. He makes you able to where He can use you by grace. But it’s nothing that you do. So we tell people all of the time, “Oh, come to Christ.” “Oh, I have to get my life right. I’ve got to get straightened up first. Get my life cleaned up first.” And we tell them, “No, no, don’t wait. Now, today is the day of salvation.” If they talk about waiting and cleaning their life up, we get on to them. We get mean toward them. “No, don’t do it. That’s filthy rags to God, just come as you are.” And then we turn right around and we start to pray, “Oh God, I know my life should be clean. I know that I should clean up my life before I come to pray for this person. I know that you can’t use me because of…” You’re a hypocrite. You’re telling them to do something that you’re not living by. You’re telling them that God is one way, and then you are proving it by your actions that you believe He is another way. Just get your hands on people. Get out of sin. Sin is not that big of a deal. It’s not worth it. I’m telling you. You get your hands on some people, you start watching them get well, sin pales in comparison. I mean it pales. There is nothing, nothing like this. I could go on not even teaching but just sharing testimonies. I could go on for weeks. Stand right here and just tell testimony after testimony. It is amazing what God is doing. And He’s doing it through other people other than just me. I would tell you personal testimonies because I’ve seen them. But the people we’re teaching, the people, that are getting a hold of the message, are doing it. And not people who have been through all of the training. I know, like Sister Ann. Came down to Eureka Springs. She was there for 4 or 5 days, something like that. Now, she had some teaching before. I’m not saying that it was all me. I’m just saying that it doesn’t take that long to get a hold of it. And she started getting their hands on people and they started seeing results. I was at her church just last weekend. We had testimonies Sunday morning. We had almost an hour worth of testimonies. Not necessarily like, “Brother Curry laid hands on me and this happened.” But people going out and doing it. People that I had never seen. I knew them because they were in her church. It’s not me. The more you get a hold of that, the more you realize that He can use you. I’m telling you all God has done is given me a platform from which to speak, to encourage you to get your hands on people. Curry Blake
