The Resurrected Christ in Your Bones: Unlocking Divine Healing Today with Dr. Craig Demo ❖ 297

You are not trying to get healing, you're receiving what's already been given to you, just like you would receive a package at Christmas... all you're doing is receiving it and unwrapping it." —Craig Demo

Welcome to the Interviewing Jesus Podcast. I am your host, Kristen Wambach, and in this episode, we tackle a profound reality that bridges heaven and earth: the release of the "imprisoned Christ" within you. Joining me is my dear friend of 30 years, Craig DeMo, to discuss the literal process of transformation and divine healing. 

We dive into the historical teaching notes of John G. Lake, unpacking why believers often hit a wall when they rely on their physical senses to confirm kingdom realities. Craig shares his miraculous Monday-morning testimony of walking out of a hospital with canceled brain surgeries and healing broken bones through the sheer power of agreement.
We are moving past the Logos mind and shifting into a Rhema mind to give you the practical logic to receive the covenant promises Jesus already paid for. Get ready for a soul-stirring conversation designed to simplify the supernatural, connect you with your God-inspired DNA, and equip you to live Spiritually BRAVE.

Key Takeaways

• You Are the Healed: You are not a sick person trying to get well; you are the healed enforcing a victory over a defeated enemy. Healing is a package already given by Jesus that simply needs to be unwrapped and received.
• The Process of Transformation: You are a three-part being: spirit, soul, and body. Total perfection happens instantly in your spirit when you are born again. True transformation occurs when you align your soul (your intellect, emotions, and daily decisions) with that completed spiritual reality.
• Stop Waiting for a Feeling: Do not wait for a physical or emotional confirmation before believing God's word is true. When a symptom hits, do not accommodate it; drive it back by agreeing with the Word over what your physical senses tell you.
• The Power of Spoken Agreement: When faced with a fractured skull and five broken ribs, Craig and his wife stood in immediate agreement with the Word of God, resulting in canceled surgeries and a 40-hour release from the intensive care unit.
• God's Grace is Personal: Just as the Lord used a specific prayer language to sound like a Cherokee grandfather to intimately heal a woman in a maternity ward, God's grace always knows exactly how to reach and comfort His kids.

SUMMARY

What happens on a Monday morning when physical pain or a devastating diagnosis hits your body? The natural response is to look for a sign, to wait for a feeling, or to beg God to come down and fix it. But the transformative truth is that the Healer is already inside you. In this episode, we lead with a practical path to unlock the covenant promises Jesus has already paid for.
As a spiritual investigative journalist, I sat down with my dear friend of 30 years, Craig DeMo, to dig into the historical teaching notes of John G. Lake and unpack the reality of the "imprisoned Christ". We bridge the gap between heaven and earth by simplifying how healing actually moves from our born-again spirits into our physical bodies.

• The Monday-Morning Logic of Healing: Craig breaks down the reality that we are three-part beings. When you are born again, your spirit is instantly made perfect. The daily work is aligning your soul—your intellect, emotions, and decisions—with that kingdom reality, rather than the physical symptoms you feel.
  
• Raw Stories of Transformation: Craig shares his own miraculous testimony of surviving a severe bicycle accident. Faced with a fractured skull, five broken ribs, and scheduled brain surgery, he and his wife chose to speak the Word over his physical body. The result? Canceled surgeries and a miraculous release from the hospital in just 40 hours. I also share a deeply personal story from a maternity ward, revealing how God's intimate grace met a desperate mother through a simple prayer language.
  
• Shifting Your Mindset: We tackle how to move from a logical, sense-driven mind to a Rhema mind. You are not a sick person trying to get well; you are the healed enforcing a victory over a defeated enemy.
  

This conversation offers a safe path for your heart, designed to help you step past the fear of your physical senses. It is time to simplify the coolness of the spirit, connect with your God-inspired DNA, and live Spiritually BRAVE.

The same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead quickens or makes alive, or heals, or rejuvenates, regenerates our mortal bodies." —Craig Demo

Kristen Wambach (00:01.869)
Welcome back to Interviewing Jesus Podcast. I am your host, Kristen Wambach, with over three decades in spiritual leadership and coaching. I have learned some of the most profound kingdom wisdom comes from relationships and deep roots. And my guest today is a dear friend from 30 years ago. My goodness, we have some history here, and we're gonna get to dig up that history because back then we attended church together and found ourselves serving side by side at a defining conference, absorbing the newly unveiled healing notes of John G. Lake. And there is so much more. We were both hungry to simplify the supernatural and to press into what truly means to carry Christ within us. Since those early days in the trenches, Craig Demo has stepped fully into a God-inspired DNA launching out to build a powerful global healing ministry. Today he is joining me to unpack what it actually takes to get healing out of our spirits and into our physical bodies. That is just my passion for today's episode. We're talking about the reality of kind of like how Christ gets imprisoned in us. Versus moving from a logical mind to a Rema mind and giving you the practical Monday morning tools to receive what Jesus has already paid for you. Get ready. Hello, get ready, get ready for a soul-stirring conversation that will challenge you to live spiritually brave. Please welcome my friend and guest, Craig Demo.
Dr. Craig DeMo (01:56.698)
God bless you. Praise God. Kristen, I cannot tell you how honored I am to be with you on the podcast today. And I know there's a lot of hungry hearts and you know, as well, a lot of people that feel frustrated about things that really God has met their need, but there's a disconnect somewhere, and usually it's something very, very simple. And so I am just privileged to be able to serve God's people by bringing the word of God to bear on whatever situation that people are facing, knowing that the Spirit of God will illuminate the understanding that we need on the scriptures so that we can rightly divide and correctly apply the Word of God. Because faith comes by hearing, hearing by the Word of God. Praise God. We've heard that over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. And yet we need to stay in the fight. So praise God. That's what we're committed to do. Thank you, Kristen.
Kristen Wambach (03:02.601)
I agree. Yes, yes, yes. Now, Craig, before we dive deep into the waters of transformation, unlocking the supernatural, I want to make sure that our listeners know exactly how to find you because I know by the time we are finished with our conversation, they're going to want to glean more from you. Where's the best place for people to connect with ambassador ministries and get their hands on the practical Monday morning kingdom wisdom?
Dr. Craig DeMo (03:33.400)
Well, I'm gonna start with actually I'm gonna put I think four resources before everybody and I hope that's okay. But our website is ambassadorministries.org. Ambassadorministries.org. Now if you by mistake, put a dot com, it'll still get there. So praise God. That works too, but it's ambassadorministries.org. And also if you want to communicate with me directly. My email is craig at ambassadorministries.org. C-R-A-I-G. And so they can get me that way. That's perfectly fine. Praise God. I'm not going to tell you that I'm going to, you know, respond within 30 minutes, but I will respond. So praise God. You can also go to our YouTube channel. Now I'm on YouTube, I'm on Rumble, I'm on BitChute. However, really where a lot of people follow me, well, not a lot of people, relatively speaking, but some people do follow me on YouTube. And my handle is just Craig Demo. And De Mo is like Demo D-E-M-O, and it's easy to remember because the more you see him, the more you like him. But I have over 500 videos there. And a lot of them deal with the subject we're talking about today, which is divine healing. And so just go to youtube.com for I think it's forward slash Craig Demo or something of that nature, but you can find me there. So just search for me if you don't see me right away. And then also on Facebook. I can be found there. and facebook.com forward slash ambassador ministries. So praise God. And we just love being in you know serving the people of God. So praise God. Don't want to waste your time. I know you don't want to waste mine. Let's get to business. We have a lot to do here in the last days.
Kristen Wambach (05:46.550)
Amen. Amen. And also, listeners, just a reminder, all of the links that Craig just shared with you, I will have in the show notes. So if you're driving, keep your hands on the wheel. We'll take care of it for you. All right, we're jumping in. So, Craig, 30 years ago, you and I we served together at a Curry Blake conference, diving into the teaching notes of John G. Lake. In the beginning question, some people might need to know who John G. Lake is. I have stumbled upon a few that don't know who he is. But thinking back to those foundational days, how did that early exposure to the supernatural and our oneness with Jesus shape the DNA of your healing ministry today, which you hear so many signs and wonders and miracles?
Dr. Craig DeMo (06:43.521)
Yeah, a lot of people today sort of claim Dr. John G. Lake as their spiritual mentor, or even they say that they, you know, they're spiritually sort of a descendant of John G. Lake. And there's a reason why people refer to him. The reason is is because if you look at Pentecostal history, you look at the healing revival movement the late 40s, 1950s, and 1960s, with great people like A.A. Allen, William Branham, Jack Coe, of course, you know, full gospel businessman came out of that. The, you know, healing ministries like Katherine Kuhlman came out of that, and so forth and so on. John G. Lake was a little bit earlier. He lived from 1870 to 1935, but what he did that was pretty much different than most others was that he didn't just minister healing himself. He was noted for teaching others how to minister healing to the sick. And you know, we are not just to be able to propagate the gospel, that's what we do when we minister to the sick, we lay hands on the sick and see them recover, yes, but we are also called to disciple people. So that people know exactly what to do. And I've learned that you can learn the healing ministry, you can receive instruction in it, you can be coached in it, just like you can be trained how to win souls. There really is no difference. But you need a new mindset, just like when you're stirred up about evangelism and you take an evangelism course, however that expresses itself door to door on the street, whatever it is. And you learn to practice, you can do the very same thing with ministering healing to the sick. But like I say, it takes a new mindset. I'll come back to John G. Lake in just a moment. It takes a new mindset. And what that means is you have to understand what you said at the beginning of the broadcast, Kristen, and that is that you have to grow up in Christ, which means that you know you have Christ in you the hope of glory. Now that's Colossians 1:27. The way I like to say that scripture is this: that the anointing of God in you, Christ in you, is the hope that this world has to see the glory of God. And yeah, people need to be forgiven of their sins, they need to be delivered. But if you look at the ministry of Jesus, what you find is that Jesus preached and he taught the kingdom of God, but the way he expressed the kingdom, what he did more than anything else was to minister healing to the sick. Do you know that five and a half times you actually go through, and I've done this with a harmony of the gospels, you lay out all the things that Jesus did. I'm not talking about what he preached now, not what he taught, what he actually did, and you look at all of his acts, all of the supernatural things that he did and everything that he performed, how he functioned and so forth, what you find is that five and a half times more than he forgave sins he healed the sick. And eleven times more than he cast out demons, he healed the sick. What Jesus did in his earthly ministry more than anything else was to heal the sick. And it seems to me that if he has imparted to us, if he's imputed to us the healing ministry for us to carry that on today, that what we ought to be doing more than anything else is to heal the sick. You say I can't heal the sick. Well, you can't in and of yourself, but it's not by human might, not by human power, but by his spirit. And he has put that spirit in you. Romans 8:11 says that the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead. And if you really think about the implications of that, okay, we're talking about somebody we're just going to just talk about the physical side for a moment. Not the soulish side, the spiritual side. There's a lot in that too. But you have to remember Jesus' body was completely flagellated, taken totally apart. All right. And then all of the beatings and the abuse that he suffered, and carrying the cross all the way to Golgotha's hill, and then being crucified, and then he died many hours later. And he went through all of that abuse and suffering for us. Then he was mummified, all right. Three days later, okay, after all of that, the spirit came and raised him from the dead. Well, the same spirit, not a different spirit, not part of that spirit, but the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, quickens or makes alive, or heals, or rejuvenates, regenerates our mortal bodies. Okay? So no matter what physical problem that anybody ever comes up with, okay, doesn't matter if it is an organic disease, doesn't matter if it's a result of an injury, doesn't matter if it's a scandemic okay it does something that was put on us, manufactured to weaken humanity. It doesn't matter. The same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, your situation, it doesn't matter if it's stage four cancer, doesn't matter if it's the advanced stages of dementia. It doesn't matter. It doesn't even pale in comparison to what that spirit did for Jesus when he was resurrected. All right. So praise God. And Jesus doesn't have any physical problems today. And as a matter of fact, he doesn't even look old. So that's pretty amazing. I would say that on that basis, if Jesus gave to the church and he did the power to heal the sick, remember we can lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. Praise God. You know, and by the way, just a little side note here, he didn't say well they'll lay hands on the sick and they'll be healed. No, it's greater than that. They'll recover. Why? Because just like everybody's sins in the whole world have been forgiven. All we have to do is receive it. Everybody's sickness has been healed. We just need to receive it. We need to appropriate it. That's really it. Now, by saying that, I'm saying this is simple. Now it may not be easy, but the only reason it's not easy is because we need a new mindset. We need to be trained a different kind of way. I'm still gonna come back to John G. Lake, but let me just share this. You know, for anybody that thinks that, you know, well, you don't understand my situation. Let me tell you what happened to me. Okay. My accident was on this day. I didn't even think about this, Kristen, but it was on this day four years ago in 2022. I was out riding my bike, having a wonderful time. It was a very hot summer evening, and I was going down one hill, back up another, having a grand old time after dinner. And you know, I was coming up one hill. And I didn't see a little concrete embankment. I was going over, I was navigating over from the side of the street over into an additional sidewalk there, and I didn't see there was a concrete barrier. Well, I toppled my bicycle end over end, hit that pavement so hard, and I won't make a very long story short. I was brought up to one hospital and then they transported me to another hospital that had a better trauma care unit. And my diagnosis here's what happened. I had fractured five ribs on my right hand side and if that wasn't bad enough I also fractured my cheekbone and if that wasn't bad enough I fractured my skull. Okay, now I needed to be in Atlanta, Georgia to preach in two weeks from that time. All right. But the doctor gave me first the diagnosis and then he told me what they were going to do. He told me what was going to happen. He said, first of all, we're gonna have to do surgery on your skull to relieve pressure on your brain. Okay, then you're gonna have to be in the hospital here for weeks, possibly months, and then after that you're gonna have to go into physical therapy. Well, you know, I arrived 11 p.m. at this hospital on a Tuesday night and so here I am at 11 o'clock Tuesday night and I got that news later than that. Well my wife Terry was with me at that time we agreed in prayer. And you know something? There's something about agreement. There's something about being able to speak the word, knowing that you already have your answer. And so then what happens is, you know, they were taking me down and scanning what was going on in my body every three to four hours after that. But they took me down for one scan. And by the way, when I got that diagnosis and they told me what was gonna happen from then, you know, that I had to be woken up and they did not want me to sleep. They were afraid I could die. And so anyway, they didn't want me to leave the hospital that way. So keep me, you know, as a customer for longer. But at any rate, I come back from a scan early in the morning and doctor comes in. Starts poking at me while I wake up again. I wasn't afraid of falling asleep. I felt like I needed it. And so at any rate, he starts poking at me. I woke up, and then he just kind of goes, hmm, hmm. And he's writing on his clipboard and he says, Well, Mr. Demo, the surgery has been canceled. So what I said was, praise God. Well, this was in the intensive care unit, right? Or critical care unit, I think they call it. And so I'm there and there's only ten beds in this unit, and I've got one of them, and it kind of startled the doctor a little bit. I don't think he's used to anybody praising God in the critical care unit, but at any rate, he said, What? I said, Well, praise God. And he said, yeah, praise God. And so anyway, it was kind of so I already knew that it was canceled. And then I go through the next day, and they were not gonna allow me to have anything to eat either, by the way. And I was gonna go to my surgery first and so forth, but they canceled the surgery, and after a little while they allowed me to eat something, and so anyway, then on Thursday morning, they told me, Well, you know, you seem to be progressing really well. And I said, Well, praise God. And so they said, Well, we're gonna what we're gonna do is you know, we kind of need this space, so we're gonna move you up on the tenth floor. And so I said, Well, whatever. But then a cognitive specialist came in, and see, they were expecting me to lose a lot of cognitive ability. So by the time she came in, my wife was back in the room again. And so you know, the lady has me, you know, draw pictures and solve puzzles. And you know, I thought this is silly stuff, this is for a grade school child. And then she starts asking me a bunch of questions. And we were joking back and forth, and then this cognitive specialist says to my wife, she says, is he always this way? Or is this normal for him? And she says, Yeah, he's always this bad. So anyway, she says, Well, you know, I don't really make the final decisions around here, but I'm gonna recommend releasing you. And so they kept being delayed on getting things ready for me to move upstairs. And finally they came back in the afternoon and they said, Well, we're gonna release you to go home. And so anyway, didn't have the surgery, wasn't there for weeks or months, didn't go into physical therapy, none of that by three o'clock in the afternoon, do the math. It was 40 hours between the time I entered the hospital with a fractured skull, fractured cheekbone, five fractured ribs. I go home and two weeks later I was on the plane going to Atlanta. So now I'm not special. It's not about that. See, God is no respecter of persons, but he is a respecter of his word. And what we did was we spoke his word. We did not allow, I mean, it would have been real easy to just go along with everything they had to say because I mean, after all, they're the specialists, they're the pros, they know what they're doing, and they know how to diagnose these things and how to give you the kind of treatment that you need. But you see I knew I needed to be somewhere. Number one. And number two, look, I was in need of the grace of God. Whose fault was it I got in this accident? Mine. See, but that's what the grace of God is for. You know, and look, we all need it. It is not about how good you've been. You can't qualify for this by what you do. Jesus pre-qualified you, right? It's like if you get one of those pre-qualified cards in the mail and I always throw them away, but I could sign the thing, send it in. Hey, they're gonna give me some amount of money if I want it from them, which I don't. But the point is, when you receive the gospel, you've been pre-qualified for everything that's in the kingdom of God. Praise God. So anyway, glory to God. What Dr. John G. Lake was somebody that was well noted for teaching people how to minister healing to the sick, understanding that as a child of God, you have resident within you the Holy Spirit, which when released will always heal the sick. Always. Now, sometimes it's not received, but it will always heal the sick. And so we can have confidence, knowing that just like if somebody prays a prayer and they confess Jesus is Lord, confess that God raised Jesus from the dead, they shall be saved. That if we minister the healing virtue of the Holy Ghost, that people will be healed. And that's why we've seen thousands of people healed in Asia, in Africa, we've seen that in Mexico, we've seen that here in the United States of America, because God is a respecter of his word. And I'll tell you what, sometimes I've ministered healing to the sick, and I've not been on my best behavior, but God still honors his word because it's not about me. It's not about me, it's about what Jesus did for us. He's the one that's qualified you to receive everything that's in the covenant. And you see, you can't even mess up the covenant because the covenant is not between you and God, the covenant is between the Father and the Son. It's just that you've been made a joint heir with Christ. Now, when Dr. John G. Lake would help people understand a different kind of way of thinking about sickness and disease that it's already defeated completely. And I don't just mean conceptually. I don't mean, as we often say, positionally. There's truth in that, but the reason I don't particularly care for that word is because people still tend to separate themselves from what they have by saying, Well, yeah, in my position I have healing, but in my reality I don't, and I'm trying to get it. No, you're not trying to get healing, you're receiving what's already been given to you, just like you would receive a package at Christmas, and all you're doing is receiving it and unwrapping it, and then you take the benefit of whatever it is that's been given to you. So we find out what's in our new covenant. Now, how do we know if we have a new mindset? I say this, one of the best ways to find out is what's the first thing you think about? What's the first thought that occurs to you when you have a symptom of sickness and disease? You wake up in the morning, you have a headache. What's the first thing you think about? Is it, well, I wonder if I ought to call in sick today, I need more time in bed. I wonder if I have any aspirin in the medicine cabinet. I wonder if I can get in to see my doctor today. Or do you understand that the enemy has launched an attack? Let's not even focus on how it got there right now. The enemy's launched an attack. And because you know you're under attack and you might have even opened the door to it, doesn't matter. Okay, you can repent. All right. However it got there, the enemy has launched an attack, and what you do is you drive that back. Okay, you act like you're healed, you speak like you're healed, and you know, everything changes. Praise God. And the first thing that ought to occur to you is Satan, get out of here in the name of Jesus. You treat that just like a snake has just entered the front door of your house. So you don't accommodate it, but often what we do is we accommodate it, and then we think about well, I should pray, you know, and you know, so forth. Listen, my primary care physician is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. That's my doctor. Okay, he is the great physician. So I, you know, I have not seen a medical practice, well, except for, you know, there's a guy that's a chiropractor, he checks me out once a month and says, you're good, you know, and then I come back next month. And it's helpful, okay. Praise God. And he does that just as a gift to me, and I appreciate it. And it's a real blessing. But the point I was making, you know, other than that, I had that accident four years ago. And before that I had another accident on a motorcycle. These two wheelers, right? On a motorcycle when I was over in Thailand. And I fractured, well, actually broke two, fractured two ribs on this side. So I've done it on both sides. I'm a balanced man, praise God. But God delivered me in both cases. And in both cases, I was at fault, all right. But by the way, I was over in Thailand to minister. I was getting ready to teach in a Bible college over there for an entire week. My ministry schedule didn't skip a beat, all right? And I'll just leave it at that. You see, healing is available, but you need to understand that you are not the sick trying to get healed, you are the healed. And the enemy sometimes tries to launch an attack against you. You are dealing with a defeated foe. And that's the way, you see, that's how I teach it. That's how Dr. John G. Lake taught it. And if you go back and you read the things that he had to say, they're very instructive in a mindset of healing, health, and wholeness. Plus, it helps, you don't wait for an attack before you launch an attack yourself and go look for somebody that's sick and you minister healing to the sick. And by the way, just like you know, you give money, you reap money, right? You give love, you reap love, you give friendship, you reap friendship, you start sowing healing. You will reap divine health in your own body. Praise God. And so amen. I'm looking for long life and length of days and not just to live long, but to live strong because there's a lot that we have to do and a lot to enjoy of our covenant you know before Jesus comes. So praise God. I'm ready to go or I'm ready to stay. I'm good either way. Praise God.
Kristen Wambach (31:01.363)
Yay, yay, yay, yay. So I'm listening to you, and I my job is to help people get into the anointing. Obviously, the anointing is flowing. Yeah, it is flowing. So I'm gonna propose this question here, this story from Dr. Lake, because I know that it will help assist us. His story is written, it's called Christ Imprisoned. And Dr. Lake shared a beautiful story about a woman who had Christ imprisoned in her spirit. We can all agree with, yeah, 100% of Jesus lives in me, but she was waiting for God to show up in her bones, for what is inside of us, the full covenant promise inside of us to leak out. Out, leak out. So how do we practically unlock the reality on a Monday morning all the way to Sunday evening so that people can fully receive their healing? Because a lot of times we know it's in here. People agree with you and go, yeah, and he blesses my soul, but sometimes there's a wall or a blockage to get it to leak out into our physical bodies. Would you help us with that?
Dr. Craig DeMo (32:26.734)
Yeah, listen, I one thing I love to teach on is the process of transformation. If you don't understand this, and I've got four hours of teaching recorded on that very subject, and you know but the process you can find this by the way, some of it in my on my YouTube channel. So anyway, praise God. And it's filed I think I have a playlist called the Process of Transformation, but it's important to understand. It's one thing to acknowledge something, but it's an entirely different thing for it to have the impact to change your circumstances, change your body, change what's going on around you. Sometimes there's so much of a disconnect. Here's the real issue. Remember that we are spirit, soul, and body. Now, before you were born again, here's how it really went is that you were body, soul, and spirit. Okay? Your spirit was suppressed, your body was in control, and your soul basically just went after whatever the flesh wanted to do. That gets inverted at the new birth. So now your spirit, soul, and body. And remember in 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Apostle Paul says, I pray your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless under the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. So here's what happens: you get born again by receiving information, but you have to do something with it. Remember that the soul, basically it's that your spirit is Heaven-bound. Okay. It's in alignment with Heaven already. You really can't improve the spirit. We talk about growing spiritually, but in reality, it's not that we grow in our spirit, it's that we grow in our soul to function in terms of our alignment with the spirit. All right. Oftentimes what we're doing is we're sort of switching back and forth between following the dictates of the body and the dictates of the spirit, depending on what we're mature in. And what information we agree with in our soul. Okay. The soul realm is where we make decisions about which way we're going to go. And that's what you're addressing right now. How can we get what's already true in our spirit? Remember, in our spirit, we're already complete, we're already whole, we're already perfect. All right. Now, that helps us understand scriptures like 2 Corinthians 5:17. If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. All not some, all the old things pass away, all things are become new. And then verse 18 says, And all things are of God, letting us know the substance of all things. If you want to know what your new man is like, okay, look at God. As matter of fact, over in 1 John 4:17, it says that as Jesus is, so are we in this world. You are in your spirit, man, exactly as Jesus is. Okay? No less at all. And by the way, because you're an heir of God and a joint heir with Jesus, you have everything he has. See? You're not a sub-heir, you're not a partial heir. It's not like he has an estate and he subdivided it between all of his children. That's not how it goes. He's given all of it to all of us, and we will receive all of Jesus that we want to. All right. And the thing is, we have to want to. Now, here's what happens. When you're born again, what happens is that you receive information about the new birth. All right. What happens? It affects you in your emotions. Okay, so we have the intellect, we have the emotions, but there's another part to it. You followed through by making a decision. And you did not revoke that decision. You stayed with it. Therefore, you received Christ and you are born again. Okay. Because it affected all three parts of your soul. You receive the information with your intellect, it made a difference to you emotionally. The emotions are designed to respond to information that comes into your mind. But then there's action, there's follow-through. Now, here's what happens oftentimes as far as people are concerned relative to healing: they receive the information they know. Isaiah 53:4 and 5, surely is borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, our sicknesses and our pains. Yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted, and that's how we appropriate it, is by esteeming him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted, not us. Okay. But he was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed. Praise God. We know, amen. As a matter of fact, you go over to 1 Peter 2:24, and it says, who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we being dead to sins, should live under righteousness. How do we live under righteousness? By whose stripes you were healed. Were because Christ already paid the price, and because you have already received it. So you know you were healed. And we say, Praise God, I was healed. And somebody preaches that from a pulpit somewhere or hears it on a podcast like this, and we say, Amen, that's mine. Okay, so you have the information, and it makes a difference to you emotionally. But here's what has to happen is that when you are presented with something in the sense realm that tells you, I'm sick now, but you have information that is entered your mind from the spirit realm because remember, Jesus said the words that I speak unto you they are spirit and there are life. So the way he gets across what the spirit says is by giving it to us in his written word, right? And it makes a difference to you emotionally. You get excited about it, but now I have information that mitigates against that, telling me that's not true. That's where the decision has to be made. Regardless of how I feel, I feel that pain, I feel that stiffness, I feel that tightness, I feel that restriction. Nonetheless, I am healed by the stripes of Jesus, and you go with that. And many times we're not willing to do that because you know what are people going to think about us? Well, they're going to think we're crazy. Okay. Get over it. Okay. you know, seriously. Just get over it and listen: the more you decide to go with what information you receive from the spirit, the more success you'll have in terms of your experience. That's where you want the word of God to work, is not just positionally somewhere, up in the ether somewhere, and you know it intellectually and you say yes, amen about it, but when that pain hits, or when somebody in your family comes down with a serious illness or they have an injury, you know, you might break a bunch of bones like I did. Well, praise God. Psalm 34:20 says, He keeps all my bones, and none of them is broken. So therefore, I command every bone to get back in place in Jesus' name. You see, you know, we have so many great and precious promises that by these we might be partakers of the divine nature. We have the divine nature, but we need to partake of it. We need to experience it. And we do that by agreeing with God all the way, not just in our intellect, not just in our emotions, but the way we act, as we walk it out. See, that's why James told us that faith without works is dead. And we need to stop using scriptures like that as some kind of cudgel, some club to beat people over the head with and say, Well, see there you don't have faith, or see there you're not really a Christian. That is not true. Okay? Somebody's doctrine can be messed up. Somebody could have problems and hang ups that they have not yet overcome, and yet they're born again. But they need for the word of God to have preeminence in all areas of life as part of their experience. If they'll do that, that addiction will go, that sickness will go, that financial problem will go, and I've experienced lots of them. But nonetheless, those things have to go if we agree with the word over and above whatever we see in our experience in our body in our family in our relationships in our day-to-day habits in our bank account no matter what the word of God is true Jesus said John 17:17 sanctify them and this scripture by the way is for you for everybody under the sound of our voices. Sanctify them or set them apart through your truth. And Jesus was praying to the Father. Set them apart through your truth. Your word is truth. That's the truth. Everything else, you know, as far as we're concerned, we treat it like it's a lie. And we're not saying it's not real, but we treat it like it's a lie. Another translation of that word truth there in John 17:17 is the word reality. In other words, Jesus is praying that you would be set apart in your reality, not just intellectually, not just in your emotions, but in your reality, in your experience. Set he wants you set apart in your reality so you stick out like a sore thumb. Amen. To be set apart in your reality and his word is your reality. And if people say, Well, you act like you live in a different world entirely, you could tell them, Yeah, I actually do. I mean I do. I live seated with Christ in Heavenly places. And not only that, but you know what? I'm here too. So praise God. We could go on like this forever, but I know we've got some limits.
Kristen Wambach (44:12.477)
Yes, yes. I know. I'd like to share a testimony that just shows just the grace of God, where he moves on our behalf and he gets way past our thinking and he just initiates his goodness. Years and years ago, my husband Don had an auto repair business and one of the guys that was in the industrial shop like where he had a shop, they used to have lunch together. Well, over a period of time they got to be friends and Don had come home and I'd hear about Dave and Dave and his wife Pat and then Pat got pregnant and you know, you hear the stories through your spouse of the people they hang out around with in their workplace. And so all of a sudden I heard one day that Pat's pregnancy went fragile and she was up at OHSU, the big hospital up in Portland. And but what Don, my husband, told me, he says what was really upsetting is that even though she was at the hospital and been there for a month, none of her friends went and saw her. So Don knew me, and Don knew that if he told me that, he knew that I would go. Of course I'd go. So we hooked it up. Don told me, then I told Don. Don told Dave. Dave told Pat and I arranged to go up, you know, by the end of the week. And I drove up there and I entered into the maternity ward and there were all these bored very pregnant women who had fragile pregnancies everywhere. And I went and I introduced myself to Pat and was talking to Pat, da-da-da-da. And she was very nice. And she was telling me about all these women that she had met on the floor that she was at. And every time she mentioned this one woman, my ears would almost burn. And I went, that's so interesting, God. And so I talked with Pat and she told me stories. My ears would burn when I heard this one lady's name. So I laid hands on Pat and blessed her and you know what we do. It wasn't anything fabulous. And she goes, Well, you know, I'm kind of tired. I'm going to take a nap now. Thank you for coming and visit me. And I just felt Holy Spirit prompt me and I said, Pat, would you introduce me to your friend that you were talking about? She goes, sure. So she got a wheelchair and she rolled down to the room, and we went in, and her name was Jackie. And she introduced me to Jackie. And of course, these mothers were all extremely bored. And so any guest, they were just delighted to see. And so Pat said, I'm gonna take my nap. You just talk to Jackie. And so I chatted with Jackie, and then I asked if I could pray with her. And so I laid hands on her and was trying to be kind of gingerly, you know, she just met me and she says, Of course she can pray for me. And she was in there, and what was going on with her pregnancy, they told her if she didn't stop hemorrhaging, she was gonna lose her child in 24 hours. And so I prayed for her, and it was nice and polite in Jesus' name and everything. And I was moving away from praying, and I heard Holy Spirit absolutely goes. Pray for her in your prayer language. What? What, you know, in your prayer language, just kind of like I'm having this silent argument with Jesus, saying, Are you nuts? Here's all the scripture that says I can't pray for her in public, you know, in your prayer language in public places, da-da-da. But of course, you always lose arguments with the Lord. And so I said, okay. So I gave her a little bit of a mini teaching, you know, about my prayer language, that it was this divine language from Holy Spirit given to me to help bless and build up your most holy faith. And she goes, Okay, cool. She was very lighthearted about it. And I said, May I pray for you again? And she said, sure. And so I laid my hands on her, took a deep breath, like, help me, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. She's gonna think I'm that, right? And I prayed for her in the Holy Ghost. Maybe forty five seconds. I just let my prayer language come over and bless her. And then I opened up one eye and I was peeking, like, what's going on? And all of a sudden she's weeping, weeping. And all of a sudden, God, I broke her. What did I do? You know, what did I do? You know, I broke her. And she's just weeping and crying. And I'm, are you okay? Are you okay? She goes, Yeah. And she's crying and then all of a sudden when she composed herself, she said to me, She goes, My father was full blooded Cherokee Indian. And when I was a little girl, he used to pray for me. And he used to tell me stories in native tongue, and you sound just like him. She was healed instantly and delivered what in a few weeks, a healthy baby boy. And that was just like that. Is the grace of God? God the Father brought in this crazy woman with this special prayer language, and he talked just like her papa, and that healed her, that intimate just healed her. And I am so glad that I didn't argue with the Lord and I followed through. But isn't that just the grace of God? He makes it easy. He knows how to talk to his kids. It's his responsibility as the author and the finisher of our faith, as the guarantor to bring forth the good work through us.
Dr. Craig DeMo (50:26.370)
Yes, yes. Amen. Praise God. That's exciting. Praise God. Listen, if we'll just do this, if we'll just do the stuff, put ourselves in a position where God can use us, He will. Glory to God. And a lot of times he'll tell us to do something that doesn't make a lot of sense. But you know, listen, something else too. If you don't know what to do, just do what you know to do from the word. You can share the gospel. You can encourage somebody. You can minister to the sick. You can help somebody. You have the ability. And praise God. So thank the Lord. Amen.
Kristen Wambach (51:07.797)
Yay, yay. This is just so awesome. And listeners, we know that through the sound of our voice, I mean, yes, maybe this is a podcast. Maybe you're going to hear it in three weeks from when it was recorded. The anointing is live. Heaven, there's no difference in time frame in the Heaven of God. There's no difference, and God has you on his mind right now. And Craig, would you please just pray as God has called you and as God has anointed you to release healing.
Dr. Craig DeMo (51:51.168)
Amen. Amen. A couple things real quick. There's people that their not just interest, but their motivation to minister healing to the sick has really been increased during this time. And God has something very special for you. And listen, I know you got a lot of questions. You know, we have only spent about 50 minutes together. And, you know, we haven't answered every question. We haven't gotten into every objection. We haven't looked at every circumstance, but just the fact that you are beginning. You know, you learn to drive a car, you learn to ride a bicycle or bake a cake without knowing everything about it. You just follow the instructions the best you knew how. And the more you do it, the more natural it becomes. This is no different, not at all. So praise God. Thank God for you. God sent you here today so that your desire would be increased. It's Christ working within you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Praise God. But in addition, I even felt before we started the recording today that there was people that are listening today, at whatever time, and it doesn't matter whether it's the first time it's broadcast or three weeks later, it doesn't matter if it's three years later. People listening, many of them are discouraged right now. You're expecting God to do something for you, but I'll tell you the picture I get in my heart right now, Kristen, is this it's like you're holding up the shield of faith and you feel like you can't hold it up any longer. It's full of so many fiery darts. You don't know if you can take another incoming. And you're getting weary. And I want to just say to you: God has not forgotten you, but God has also given you what you need to endure this time, and you'll be able to look back on it, and it'll seem like no time at all, even though right now it seems like, I've been standing forever. And that's not really true, but I have certainly been there too. So I understand what that's about, but that's not even the point, is whether we understand it or not. The fact of the matter is, you have a savior that is touched with the feeling of your infirmities. And we glory in those infirmities so that the power of Christ may rest upon us. It is not about you, it's not about me, it's about Jesus and the price that He paid for us. So with that in mind, let's pray right now. I'm also going to pray for those that are in need of healing today. So praise God. Can't be real lengthy about this, but we're just going to minister. And the power of Jesus is here. It's present to heal the sick. Father, you might want to just if you can, not if you can't, but if you can, hold your hands toward whatever kind of screen you're looking at right now. In the name of Jesus, Father, I just thank you for everybody that's listening to this broadcast. And I thank you, Lord God, that there's been truth imparted, revelation that's come forth, Lord, that will cause them to never be the same from this time forward. Not because of even the forcefulness of the revelation, and there is power in it, Father. We want to thank you for that anointing, which produces that power, but it's also because decisions are being made to move forward in the right direction with information that has been imparted by the Spirit of God and that it's not just animated emotions today, but there is follow-through. And we just thank you, Lord God, for lighting a fire underneath our saddle, so to speak, or underneath where we're sitting, so that Lord, we will move forward. We're moving in the right direction. We are making decisions today to go with the word. And to disallow circumstances that should not be in our life to be there any longer in Jesus' name. Praise God. And for those that are discouraged today, I just speak encouragement. I speak for there to be a boldness in spirit that would come upon each and every one of us so that we would do what we know to do. And Lord God, in terms of techniques or exact steps to take or this and that. Father, well we know it's not about that, but we are moving in the right direction, doing as we know to do, knowing that you will give us the next instruction, you will show us the next step, and we will go forward with the things of God. Now, Lord, for those today that are afflicted in their body, they are suffering and Lord, it doesn't matter if it's a headache, doesn't matter if it's stage four cancer, doesn't matter if it's liver disease, if somebody's on dialysis right now, doesn't matter if it's a cognitive decline issue, doesn't matter if it's a problem with the eyesight, with the hearing, doesn't matter if it's a lung problem, doesn't matter if it's a heart problem, does not matter. Doesn't matter if it's something to do with the muscles, with the bones, with the feet. Father, we just praise you in the name of Jesus. That Lord, as the word tells us in Proverbs 4:20-22, that your word is health, it's medicine to all of our flesh, every part of our body. So, Father, right now in the name of Jesus, we take that medicine, we speak it out in Jesus' name. We declare in the name of Jesus that He has taken our infirmity and borne our sicknesses, and what He took, we're not gonna take. What he bore, we're not gonna bear. So that not only do we receive the benefits of the salvation that Jesus bought and paid for, but he is honored by our taking it in Jesus' name. We receive healing. We declare to every sickness, every disease, every infirmity, every weakness, every malady, every pain, in Jesus' name. Go! Now go in the name of Jesus. Never to return. Never to return in Jesus' name. Praise God. Lord, your word tells us in 1 Peter 2:24 that by his stripes we were healed. We acknowledge that we were healed. And Lord, we choose to walk in divine health every day, in every way, in the name of Jesus. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. I want to challenge you today, those that have received healing, you know something's changed already, but even if it isn't fully manifest yet, get to Kristen your testimony. That would be a great blessing to this podcast and to the listenership. And I just want to thank God for this platform in Jesus' name. Amen.
Kristen Wambach (59:20.341)

And we'll give you an opportunity in that book, Seven Secrets of Divine Healing, to study with us if you want to do that. And you can do that online. We are setting up another session of the Divine Healing Boot Camp, which we'll bring you through, and that will be available in the future on our website so praise God we will show you how to be a part of that and we have some other materials too like if you join the Divine Healing Boot Camp which is our study group you'll receive with that a copy of the Divine Healing Training Manual and this is over a hundred full-size pages you know eight and a half by eleven of study material that as you dive into that, you know, every day and just put yourself in a saturation learning environment over a period of time, it will ruin you for anything else than walking in divine health and imparting that to others. So praise God. I just wanna say that to you, but go ahead and avail yourself of whatever materials we have online and believe that all of this will be a blessing to you.
Kristen Wambach (01:01:53.461)

THE RESURRECTED CHRIST IN YOUR BONES.

What is the very first thought that crosses your mind when a symptom of sickness hits your body? Do you immediately reach for the medicine cabinet, or do you recognize that the enemy has just launched an attack against your completely healed spirit? As a spiritual investigative journalist, I want to offer you a practical path with raw stories, prayer, and simple activations to help you step into the divine health that is already yours.
If you have been feeling frustrated, waiting for a physical sign that God is moving, you are not alone. In my recent conversation on the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, I sat down with my dear friend of 30 years, Craig DeMo. We rolled up our sleeves to unpack the Monday-morning logic of healing, bringing Biblical insights and divine wisdom right into our daily lives. This is a healing and transformation podcast episode designed to bridge the gap between Heaven and earth. This isn't about striving or begging God to come down from Heaven. It is about understanding the reality of the resurrected Christ who already lives inside your bones.

Unlocking the Imprisoned Christ

Years ago, Dr. John G. Lake shared a story about a woman who had Christ imprisoned in her spirit. She had prayed for days, waiting for God to show up and heal her rheumatic bones, not realizing He was already there. She was waiting for a feeling. She wanted a physical manifestation before she would believe it. But Dr. Lake helped her realize that the exact same Jesus who dwelt in her spirit was simultaneously possessing her blood and her old rheumatic bones. She just had to give Him permission to manifest in her physical body.
This is a profound Christian life lesson for all of us navigating our Christian personal development. As believers, we often hit a wall because we rely on our physical senses to discern kingdom realities. We think, "I feel pain, so I must be sick." But true Christian spiritual growth requires a mindset shift. You are a three-part being: spirit, soul, and body. When you were born again, your spirit was made instantly perfect. The daily work is aligning your soul—your intellect, emotions, and decisions—with that completed spiritual reality. You are not a sick person trying to get healed; you are the healed enforcing a victory over a defeated enemy. This is the core of Spirit-led living.

The Power of Agreement

Craig shared a deeply personal story of transformation during our authentic spiritual discussions. After a severe bicycle accident, he was brought to the hospital with a fractured skull, a fractured cheekbone, and five broken ribs. The doctors planned to drill into his skull to relieve pressure on his brain. But instead of partnering with fear, Craig and his wife stood in immediate agreement with the Word of God. They spoke life over his body in the intensive care unit. Within 40 hours, the surgeries were canceled, and he walked out of that hospital.
God is a respecter of His Word. When we apply biblical principles and agree with Heaven over what our physical senses tell us, we open the door for miracles. This is what it means to transition from a logical mind to a Rhema mind, making conversations with Jesus our absolute baseline for daily spiritual wisdom.

Isn't that just the grace of God? He makes it easy. He knows how to talk to his kids. It's His responsibility as the author and the finisher of our faith, as the guarantor, to bring forth the good work through us." —Kristen Wambach

Intimate Grace in the Maternity Ward

Sometimes, the grace of God meets us in the most unexpected, intimate ways. I shared a story on the podcast about visiting a maternity ward to pray for a woman whose pregnancy was failing. Holy Spirit prompted me to pray in my prayer language—a divine language given to build up our most holy faith. I argued for a moment, but you always lose arguments with the Lord! As I prayed over her, she began to weep. When she composed herself, she told me her father was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian who used to pray for her in his native tongue when she was a little girl. She said I sounded exactly like him. She was instantly healed and delivered a healthy baby boy a few weeks later.
God knows how to talk to His kids. He makes it easy. Understanding the Holy Spirit means recognizing that His grace is deeply personal.

COACHING CHURCH ACTIVATION

RELEASING THE IMPRISONED CHRIST.

As your spiritual investigative journalist, I want to offer you a safe path for your heart today. This is not about striving; it is about stepping into a practical path with raw stories, prayer, and simple activations to unlock the kingdom reality already inside you.
The Payoff

• Week-one outcome: You will stop waiting for a physical feeling to confirm your healing and begin actively driving back symptoms using your Rhema mind.
• Month-one outcome: You will establish a Monday-morning habit of walking in divine health, enforcing the reality that the exact same Jesus who saved your spirit is already possessing your blood and bones.

The Steps

1. The First Thought Protocol. When a physical symptom or pain flares up, pay attention to your very first thought. Do not accommodate the sickness. Instead, recognize it as an attack against your completely healed spirit and immediately agree with Heaven over your physical senses.
   
2. Speak to the Bones. Place your hand over the area of your body that needs healing. Remind your soul that you are a three-part being. Speak out loud: "The Maker of Heaven is already beating in my chest. The same Christ that dwells in my spirit is now released into my blood and bones."
   
3. The Agreement Prayer. "Father, I trade my logical mind for a Rhema mind today. I am not a sick person trying to get well; I am the healed enforcing a victory over a defeated enemy. I give the Christ imprisoned within me full permission to manifest in my physical body right now. In Jesus' name, Amen."
