Where does the power of God come from for answered prayers, internally or x?

[MattforJesus]

Let's say you ask God for healing and you get it. Did the healing power of God come from within you or from out?
What about if you were to command a spirit to come out of a person, and the thing leaves. Did the power of God drive the thing out from within you or from outside of you?
Does it matter whether you ask God or command in the name of Jesus?

1Ki 8:27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?

Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

God is an omnipresent Spirit, and He heals, or does a work by His Spirit wherever the location that the miracle takes place.

God does not have to move from place to place for He is already there, which is why He could create so fast for the time it takes Him to make one planet He made them all, and could make everything simultaneously for He does not have to move from place to place.

When God heals us He heals us by His Spirit from within us, for that is where we need the healing, and God is in everybody, for He does not move around physical objects but passes through the object.

If we cast a devil out of a person it came by the Spirit of God in the person, and not from within us affecting that person.

When Jesus healed a person, or cast out a devil, He did not do it it from within Himself, as if He is a magician and a bolt of lightening came from His fingers, but He did it from without Himself.

Whatever happens it is done by the Spirit at the location that needs a miracle, or sign, for the Spirit does not have to move.

Jesus is God manifest, which means God manifest all His attributes to the man Christ Jesus, the personal human body of God, and the Spirit in Christ is still connected to the omnipresent Spirit of God, for He cannot be separated.

So Jesus healed people, and cast out a devil, by His Spirit that was without Himself, but the Spirit in Him is still connected to the omnipresent Spirit of God.

Which Jesus does not have a part of the Spirit that moves around with Him, for no part of the Spirit can be separated from the Spirit, and there cannot be a double portion in one spot where Jesus would be.

But the man Christ Jesus walks through the Spirit, and wherever He is at He has the Spirit that is in that location, so if Jesus is standing in a certain spot He has the Spirit that is at that spot, and if He moves 100 feet away then He has the Spirit in that spot, for the Spirit does not move for He is already there, but we walk through the Spirit, and wherever we are at the Spirit is there, so we always have God inside of us, even the heathen.

Col 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Everything we do is in the name of Jesus, so if we ask for a healing it is to be done in Jesus' name for He is the mediator between God and people, and the reason we have a spiritual connection to God.

 

[Deuteronomy]

Does it matter whether you ask God or command in the name of Jesus?

Here's something to consider from the Scriptures.

Acts 3
1 Peter and John were going up to the temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer.
2 And a man who had been lame from his mother’s womb was being carried along, whom they used to set down every day at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, in order to beg alms of those who were entering the temple.
3 When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he began asking to receive alms.
4 But Peter, along with John, fixed his gaze on him and said, “Look at us!”
5 And he began to give them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
6 But Peter said, “I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene—walk!”
7 And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened.
8 With a leap he stood upright and began to walk; and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God;
10 and they were taking note of him as being the one who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple to beg alms, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 While he was clinging to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the so-called portico of Solomon, full of amazement.
12 But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people, Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why do you gaze at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk?
13 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus, the one whom you delivered and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release Him.
14 But you disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
15 but put to death the Prince of life, the one whom God raised from the dead, a fact to which we are witnesses.
16 And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.

[Deuteronomy]

Here is the continuation of the story that began in Acts 3 from St. John and St. Peter (see my last post above for part #1).

Acts 4
5 On the next day, their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem;
6 and Annas the high priest was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of high-priestly descent.
7 When they had placed them in the center, they began to inquire, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people,
9 if we are on trial today for a benefit done to a sick man, as to how this man has been made well,
10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by this name this man stands here before you in good health.
11 He is the STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED by you, THE BUILDERS, but WHICH BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone.
12 And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

And here we see what St. Paul did as well.

Acts 16
16 It happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave-girl having a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortune-telling.
17 Following after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, “These men are bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation.”
18 She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out at that very moment.
