Right Now

Pastor Hilton opens with Hebrews 11:1, defining faith as the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. He challenges the congregation to have faith in God's power to heal and work miracles. He acknowledges that many have preached 'according to your faith,' but emphasizes that even faith as small as a mustard seed is enough for God to act. He references Mark 6:4-5, where Jesus could not do many mighty works in his hometown due to unbelief, yet still healed a few sick folk. Pastor Hilton argues that God desires to do more than 'a few sick folk'—He wants to perform many miracles. He contrasts limited faith found in traditional settings with the apostolic faith from the book of Acts, where Peter's shadow healed and Paul raised Eutychus. He insists that healing, miracles, and deliverance are as essential as baptism in Jesus' name and the infilling of the Holy Ghost. He urges believers to develop 'right now' faith, like the woman with the issue of blood who was healed immediately upon touching Jesus' garment. Pastor Hilton calls for an old-fashioned prayer line, inviting those with needs to come forward not out of obligation but with genuine, present-moment faith. He assures them that he and the elders will pray the prayer of faith from James 5:14-15, believing God will heal and receive glory right now, not tomorrow.
