WEBVTT 00:00:18.530 --> 00:00:22.210 Luke chapter 18, sorry again, verse 35 says this. 00:00:23.330 --> 00:00:33.009 Then it happened as he was coming near Jericho that a certain man blind sat by the road begging. 00:00:33.570 --> 00:00:37.810 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. 00:00:38.129 --> 00:00:43.010 So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 00:00:44.210 --> 00:00:53.810 And he cried out saying, Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me. 00:00:59.969 --> 00:01:04.770 And those who went before warned him that he should be quiet. 00:01:15.890 --> 00:01:18.689 See, you might try to stop it, but I'm about to stop you. 00:01:19.250 --> 00:01:21.409 He might come at me, I'm about to chop you in the throat. 00:01:21.490 --> 00:01:24.290 Don't don't don't tell me I can't cry out to the Lord. 00:01:24.530 --> 00:01:25.250 Come on now. 00:01:25.329 --> 00:01:26.530 I'm telling you right now. 00:01:28.530 --> 00:01:38.129 I wonder, I wonder how how I wonder what would happen if you actually got desperate enough to get rid of the naysayers that are in the crowd. 00:01:38.370 --> 00:01:39.170 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:01:39.409 --> 00:01:44.930 I wonder what would happen if you stopped caring about what those around you were saying. 00:01:46.129 --> 00:01:57.969 And instead of caring more about the weight of the crowd, you had something on the inside of you that said, I don't care what they think, I don't care what they say. 00:01:59.730 --> 00:02:10.769 I don't care what they what they are trying to get me to calm down because I'm telling you right now, I need to lift my voice because I hear this man by the name of Jesus is coming near me. 00:02:11.329 --> 00:02:25.970 Yes, then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet, but he cried out all the more. 00:02:35.970 --> 00:02:48.370 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to him, and when he had come near, he asked him, saying, What do you want me to do for you? 00:02:48.769 --> 00:03:19.410 And he said, Lord, that I may receive my breakthrough, Lord, that I might receive healing in my marriage, Lord, that I might receive a touch in my mind, Lord, that I might receive reconciliation with this relationship, Lord, that I might receive the divine reversal of this cancer diagnostic, Lord, that I might receive freedom from this debt. 00:03:19.490 --> 00:03:21.490 Come on, do you hear what I'm saying this morning? 00:03:22.449 --> 00:03:25.170 He asked this man, he said, What will I do for you? 00:03:25.250 --> 00:03:32.370 And because this man was blind, he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 00:03:33.970 --> 00:03:36.850 Then Jesus said to him, Receive your sight. 00:03:37.810 --> 00:03:39.889 Your faith has made you well. 00:03:42.370 --> 00:03:44.930 And immediately he received his sight. 00:03:45.089 --> 00:03:49.170 Watch this now, and followed him, glorifying God. 00:03:49.810 --> 00:03:54.689 And all the people, when they saw it, gave praises to God. 00:03:55.410 --> 00:04:02.689 My friend, this morning, I want to remind you and encourage you today that today is your day where you receive your sight. 00:04:05.009 --> 00:04:11.810 Where your following after the Master is unhindered, and your praise comes back to you today. 00:04:12.610 --> 00:04:13.970 In Jesus' mighty name. 00:04:14.050 --> 00:04:14.449 Let's pray. 00:04:14.610 --> 00:04:18.850 Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for the power of your word. 00:04:19.730 --> 00:04:25.089 Lord, it's able to do far beyond what any human capability is able to do. 00:04:25.410 --> 00:04:34.930 And so, Lord, today let your word run swift in this house, accomplishing all that has been sent out to accomplish in the mighty name of Jesus. 00:04:35.169 --> 00:04:45.329 Holy Spirit, I'm asking you to anoint me afresh today, to bring the revelation, bring the inspiration that causes the transformation in the lives of people. 00:04:46.370 --> 00:04:48.129 Put me on like a jacket today. 00:04:48.209 --> 00:04:49.089 We love you, Lord. 00:04:49.169 --> 00:04:50.289 We thank you. 00:04:50.849 --> 00:04:53.250 We call it done in Jesus' mighty name. 00:04:53.490 --> 00:04:54.930 Come on, someone say amen. 00:04:55.969 --> 00:04:56.610 Amen. 00:04:56.849 --> 00:04:57.329 Amen. 00:04:57.569 --> 00:04:58.209 Amen. 00:04:58.610 --> 00:05:02.289 Problems have a way of demanding all of our attention. 00:05:02.610 --> 00:05:09.409 The diagnostics, the diagnosis, the addiction, the marriage, the financial pressure, the disappointment, the heartbreak. 00:05:09.569 --> 00:05:10.769 You ever been there before? 00:05:11.009 --> 00:05:12.769 Maybe you're there right now. 00:05:13.409 --> 00:05:20.370 But understand this: the problem has become so large that it blocks everything else from your view. 00:05:21.490 --> 00:05:23.810 That's what happened to this blind man. 00:05:23.969 --> 00:05:28.769 He was blind, he was begging, he was broken, he was forgotten. 00:05:29.569 --> 00:05:35.250 But while everyone else saw the problem, the man saw something beyond the problem. 00:05:36.610 --> 00:05:39.089 Can I pause right there for just a moment? 00:05:39.569 --> 00:05:47.649 How is it that this man who could not see with his physical eyes was able to see with an with a spiritual eye? 00:05:49.649 --> 00:06:03.169 He heard that Jesus was near, and because he understood his healing was near, his breakthrough was near, his touch was near, he was able to see beyond the problem. 00:06:03.250 --> 00:06:10.769 And whenever he was able to see beyond the problem, something that was once impossible became possible in his life. 00:06:17.089 --> 00:06:17.969 Do you understand that? 00:06:18.769 --> 00:06:22.129 Because the crowd will tell you, just sit down and shut up. 00:06:22.449 --> 00:06:28.050 But God is looking for just one person who says, I hear my healing and it's drawing nigh. 00:06:28.289 --> 00:06:31.810 I hear my breakthrough and it's right here next to me. 00:06:32.050 --> 00:06:35.729 I hear that something and someone is getting close. 00:06:35.889 --> 00:06:41.169 And so the crowd might want to die down, but I'm gonna speak up all the more. 00:06:49.889 --> 00:06:57.649 Because, my friend, your breakthrough, your healing, your deliverance, your freedom is right here in the room today. 00:07:00.930 --> 00:07:06.930 So while everyone else saw this man's problem, this man something that was beyond the problem. 00:07:07.490 --> 00:07:14.930 And when he discovered that there was power beyond the problem, everything changed. 00:07:16.849 --> 00:07:23.009 I'm so grateful that I that that the God that I serve is a God that makes everything change. 00:07:25.169 --> 00:07:26.529 Aren't you grateful for that? 00:07:27.250 --> 00:07:30.689 He changes everything, he knows how to change everything. 00:07:31.490 --> 00:07:38.610 He's healed my body, he has saved my soul, he has touched me in my mind, he made a way where there seemed to be no way. 00:07:39.490 --> 00:07:48.689 Whenever I was heavy with depression and wanted to kill myself, he reached down into the darkness of my night and he said, Son, let me tell you something. 00:07:48.849 --> 00:07:51.649 It's not your time, it's not the way you're gonna go. 00:07:51.810 --> 00:07:58.209 I'm telling you right now, Jesus has a way to look beyond the problem and to change everything. 00:08:01.569 --> 00:08:14.129 Everything and you might have come in here today carrying weight, you might have come in here carrying sin, you might have come in here today carrying sickness, you might have come in here carrying all kinds of crazy mess. 00:08:17.329 --> 00:08:22.050 I know that the the religious folks say, Well, I don't know if people can come in the church messy. 00:08:22.129 --> 00:08:22.610 Who says? 00:08:22.930 --> 00:08:38.930 Okay, hello because I know you might have been cute your entire life, never walked through nothing, never dealt with anything, but let me tell y'all, there's been many times where I have darkened the doors of a church needing a touch from the savior, and the savior didn't turn me away when I called his name. 00:08:39.090 --> 00:08:44.050 He actually told me, Come near my son and receive what you need to receive. 00:08:44.850 --> 00:08:45.409 Huh. 00:08:46.529 --> 00:08:47.730 Y'all with me this morning? 00:08:47.970 --> 00:08:48.610 Yes, sir. 00:08:50.129 --> 00:08:52.610 Everything today changes. 00:08:54.049 --> 00:08:56.929 So let's let's dissect this portion of scripture. 00:08:57.009 --> 00:08:57.730 Can we do that today? 00:08:57.809 --> 00:08:58.289 Is that all right? 00:08:59.730 --> 00:09:04.129 Luke tells us a blind man sat by the road begging. 00:09:04.370 --> 00:09:13.970 His condition had become his reality, his limitation had become his identity, his struggle had become his daily routine. 00:09:15.250 --> 00:09:18.850 Yet this man's name tells another story. 00:09:19.490 --> 00:09:30.529 Now I know we just read here in the book of Luke, chapter 18, where it says a blind man, but this story is actually recorded in three different Gospels Matthew, Mark, and Luke. 00:09:31.090 --> 00:09:37.250 And the Gospel of Mark tells us in Mark chapter 10 that the name of this man was Bartimaeus. 00:09:38.449 --> 00:09:42.289 Now you might hear that name and not think anything of it. 00:09:43.090 --> 00:09:44.049 Bartimaeus. 00:09:44.129 --> 00:09:55.009 Bartimaeus actually means son of Timaeus, which means, watch this now, son of honor, son of the honored one. 00:09:56.049 --> 00:10:02.929 So catch this picture of this man who was blind, begging by the side of the road. 00:10:03.169 --> 00:10:06.769 His name said honor, but his condition said shame. 00:10:07.649 --> 00:10:08.049 Wow, wow. 00:10:11.330 --> 00:10:15.569 His father's name said value, but his circumstances said forgotten. 00:10:19.490 --> 00:10:22.370 Oh man, it's about to be a good day in the house of the Lord. 00:10:22.449 --> 00:10:22.769 You know that? 00:10:24.049 --> 00:10:27.330 Because watch this stuff is being broken off your life right now. 00:10:27.490 --> 00:10:27.889 Hallelujah. 00:10:29.250 --> 00:10:34.929 Because when you come into the kingdom, God gives you a brand new name. 00:10:35.009 --> 00:10:42.529 But sometimes through the course of life, you sit into a place that is not your position, you sit into a place that is your situation. 00:10:43.250 --> 00:10:47.730 And because you want to live there and dwell there, God is saying, no, no, no. 00:10:47.889 --> 00:10:58.850 I called you into a place of honor, but because you cannot, because you cannot see, you have made yourself a beggar on the side of the road. 00:10:59.490 --> 00:11:34.210 Whenever I have called you as a beloved son, and your position is not to be on the side of the road, your position is supposed to be a place of honor, but because you have chosen not to see like I see, so here's this son, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, the son of honor, the son of the honored one, sitting in his situation and his circumstance, but then something incredible happens. 00:11:35.569 --> 00:11:40.449 The crowd begins to say, Jesus of Nazareth is passing by. 00:12:14.449 --> 00:12:23.009 Bartimaeus understood that I'm not just looking where his physical location is at, I'm looking where his spiritual location is from. 00:12:23.250 --> 00:12:30.129 And if he you see, because the term son of David in the Jewish culture actually referenced the Messiah. 00:12:32.929 --> 00:12:37.330 Not many people looked at Jesus and considered Jesus the Messiah in his day. 00:12:38.529 --> 00:12:39.409 Do you understand that? 00:12:39.569 --> 00:12:49.090 They would call him Rabboni or teacher, or they call him the son of the carpenter, or they call him this one from Nazareth. 00:12:49.250 --> 00:12:56.610 But how is it that this blind man who was on the side of the road was able to see Jesus for who Jesus really was? 00:13:00.370 --> 00:13:09.169 So when the crowd says Jesus of Nazareth is passing by, Bartimaeus cries, Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me. 00:13:14.449 --> 00:13:20.370 Whether he realized it or not, Bartimaeus was positioned to receive from the Master. 00:13:21.250 --> 00:13:27.809 And my friend, whether you realize it or not, even today, you are positioned to receive from the Master. 00:13:32.129 --> 00:13:35.569 See, because you thought you just came to church on a Sunday morning. 00:13:36.049 --> 00:13:40.529 You thought you just were fulfilling a spiritual obligation and a duty. 00:13:40.689 --> 00:13:49.409 But little did you know that whenever you crossed the threshold of this room, that the Spirit of God was actually here waiting for you before you even got here. 00:13:49.569 --> 00:13:53.649 And he said, Listen, you might have come in here one way, but I've been waiting for you all week. 00:13:54.689 --> 00:13:59.090 I'm here all week long, and and you are positioned for a touch for me. 00:13:59.330 --> 00:14:03.649 Hallelujah! Hallelujah. 00:14:03.730 --> 00:14:06.370 I'll tell I don't preach long, it's my introductions, y'all. 00:14:06.449 --> 00:14:07.809 It's my introductions, okay? 00:14:08.129 --> 00:14:10.610 I'm still on the introduction of this bad boy. 00:14:11.250 --> 00:14:12.529 Y'all with me still? 00:14:12.769 --> 00:14:13.409 Yes. 00:14:14.689 --> 00:14:16.850 Everyone else knew where Jesus was from. 00:14:17.009 --> 00:14:20.049 Bardenaius knew who Jesus was. 00:14:21.250 --> 00:14:23.649 If you look at this, there's two sons here. 00:14:23.730 --> 00:14:25.409 One son was trapped by a problem. 00:14:25.569 --> 00:14:31.569 The other son, the son of David, was greater than any other problem. 00:14:33.009 --> 00:14:38.529 So what happens when you have the problem and the solution collide? 00:14:41.009 --> 00:14:46.129 You find out that there is a name that is beyond any problem. 00:14:47.409 --> 00:14:56.449 You find out that there is a name that is the solution for anything that you could ever face and anything you could ever walk through. 00:14:56.610 --> 00:14:59.490 You find out that there is a name that's above every other name. 00:14:59.649 --> 00:15:00.449 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:15:01.169 --> 00:15:01.490 Come on. 00:15:01.730 --> 00:15:03.490 I've been preaching for three weeks now, y'all. 00:15:03.809 --> 00:15:05.809 You need to get this deep down in your spirit. 00:15:05.889 --> 00:15:08.049 There is power in the name of Jesus. 00:15:08.289 --> 00:15:10.210 Your answer is in the name of Jesus. 00:15:10.370 --> 00:15:12.370 Your healing is in the name of Jesus. 00:15:12.529 --> 00:15:14.689 Your freedom is in the name of Jesus. 00:15:14.850 --> 00:15:16.929 Your clarity is in the name of Jesus. 00:15:17.090 --> 00:15:17.889 Come on now. 00:15:18.850 --> 00:15:22.129 There is power in the name of Jesus. 00:15:26.769 --> 00:15:30.129 So here we see two worlds collide. 00:15:31.569 --> 00:15:33.649 And Bartimaeus shows us something. 00:15:33.730 --> 00:15:39.169 He shows us, watch this now, how to move beyond your problem. 00:15:40.850 --> 00:15:43.889 And your problem might be you have debt. 00:15:43.970 --> 00:15:46.370 Your problem might be your marriage is crumbling. 00:15:46.610 --> 00:15:52.529 Your problem might be that you're you have to pay a bill tomorrow, and you don't know how it's gonna happen. 00:15:52.610 --> 00:15:57.649 Your problem might be you got a diagnostic from the doctor saying terminal, incurable. 00:15:57.809 --> 00:16:01.970 It doesn't matter what the problem is that you're that you are walking with. 00:16:02.769 --> 00:16:08.210 The matter of the fact is this your solution is found in one man and one man alone. 00:16:08.610 --> 00:16:13.970 And that man has a name that's above anything that you might be facing. 00:16:17.009 --> 00:16:22.769 And so Bartimaeus shows us what it takes to move beyond the problem that you're facing. 00:16:24.289 --> 00:16:29.569 And so, as I'm preaching today, this is more than just blindness that Bartimaeus was facing. 00:16:30.769 --> 00:16:35.730 See, for some of you might be broke, Bartimaeus, in the house today. 00:16:36.049 --> 00:16:39.409 For some of you might be out of your mind, Bartimaeus, in the house today. 00:16:39.490 --> 00:16:39.970 Come on now. 00:16:40.610 --> 00:16:43.250 For some of you might be, I need a healing, Bartimaeus. 00:16:43.649 --> 00:16:44.769 Do you understand what I'm saying? 00:16:45.009 --> 00:16:49.569 For some of you might be, I'm I'm sad and depressed, Bartimaeus, today. 00:16:49.649 --> 00:16:52.850 So look, don't just look at the physical eyes being open. 00:16:53.250 --> 00:17:01.169 Look at and put yourself in the story and realize if God could do it for blind Bartimaeus, He could do it for you. 00:17:02.289 --> 00:17:15.569 If God could do it for this man on the side of the road who was cast aside from his position of honor down to a beggar, what makes you think God cannot and will not do it for you? 00:17:16.769 --> 00:17:27.970 My friend, today is your day to move beyond the problem that you're facing and to receive the fullness and the power of your answer found in the name of Jesus Christ. 00:17:30.130 --> 00:17:30.930 Thank you, Lord. 00:17:33.890 --> 00:17:35.970 Touch your neighbor and say, Oh, I'm I'm with it today. 00:17:36.050 --> 00:17:36.370 Go ahead. 00:17:36.450 --> 00:17:37.490 Tell him, I'm with it. 00:17:39.250 --> 00:17:42.130 Look at your other neighbor and say, Come on, come with us, come with us. 00:17:45.090 --> 00:17:45.970 So watch this now. 00:17:46.130 --> 00:17:49.330 Bartamaeus shows us how to move beyond the problem. 00:17:49.570 --> 00:17:55.650 The first thing that Bartamaeus shows us is this that we have to cry beyond the problem. 00:17:58.850 --> 00:18:10.850 Luke chapter 18 and verse 38 says this, and he cried out, saying, Son of David, have mercy on me. 00:18:16.770 --> 00:18:27.570 I wonder how many times God is ready, willing, and able to do something for you, but you're unwilling to cry out beyond the thing that you're facing. 00:18:29.890 --> 00:18:37.890 Because you think, because you're on the side of the road, that he is not for you, he's actually against you. 00:18:38.370 --> 00:18:40.450 Can I dress the mindsets in the room today? 00:18:41.650 --> 00:18:48.450 Because I've met too many believers where they think, well, you know, I'm saved, but I don't know that God really thinks highly of me like that. 00:18:49.730 --> 00:18:52.290 Now, maybe you're not in the room, but maybe you are. 00:18:52.690 --> 00:19:01.170 Because you you hear and read things in scripture and you think it's nice for them, but I don't know if God really wants that for me. 00:19:05.810 --> 00:19:07.250 I like how it gets quiet right there. 00:19:07.330 --> 00:19:07.970 You want to know why? 00:19:08.050 --> 00:19:09.810 Because I know people are pondering. 00:19:11.250 --> 00:19:12.930 You're thinking about, hmm. 00:19:13.890 --> 00:19:15.650 What you trying to say, Pastor Aaron? 00:19:15.730 --> 00:19:17.090 I'm trying to say this. 00:19:18.050 --> 00:19:26.850 When the problem you're facing becomes greater than your cry, your problem will never change. 00:19:27.090 --> 00:19:27.650 That's good. 00:19:27.890 --> 00:19:28.530 That's good. 00:19:29.330 --> 00:19:36.530 When the problem that you're facing becomes greater than your cry, your problem will never change. 00:19:39.090 --> 00:19:40.610 Can I say it a different way? 00:19:41.890 --> 00:19:55.170 When the problem you're facing causes you to not call on the name Jesus because you think Jesus is the one that gave you the problem, the problem will never change. 00:19:59.090 --> 00:20:09.650 You do you realize in in Jewish culture, they used to have this belief if anybody was sick or diseased, it was because they had sinned in their life and it was God punishing them. 00:20:11.250 --> 00:20:13.090 Well, if you didn't know, now you know, okay? 00:20:13.330 --> 00:20:21.490 That's why in John chapter 9, whenever Jesus gets ready to heal that blind man, different blind man than Bartimaeus, his disciples say, Who sinned, Master? 00:20:22.450 --> 00:20:24.130 This man or his parents? 00:20:24.930 --> 00:20:27.490 Jesus said, Neither sin. 00:20:29.330 --> 00:20:30.850 I'm gonna get the glory out of it. 00:20:30.930 --> 00:20:33.970 You're you're concerned about how it came, you need to be more concerned about how it's gonna go. 00:20:37.970 --> 00:20:46.290 But watch this in Jewish culture, they used to believe if somebody was sick, it was because they had sin in their life or they were being punished by God. 00:20:47.970 --> 00:21:08.530 And I wonder how many times, even in Christianity today, in American churchianity today, in bad theology and doctrine today, people, even under the sound of my voice, you think you're walking through what you're walking through because God wants to punish you. 00:21:09.810 --> 00:21:15.410 Because you cheated on an exam in the eighth grade and you never confessed it whenever you gave your heart to Jesus Christ. 00:21:18.450 --> 00:21:28.610 I know people are laughing, but I'm telling you right now, I have taught with so many people, they think that they are supposed to deal with the problem and the mess they're dealing with because they have something in their life they did all these years ago. 00:21:28.690 --> 00:21:37.970 My friend, let me tell you this: when you call on the name of Jesus, he breaks that mess from your life. 00:21:38.690 --> 00:21:44.130 When you call on the name of Jesus, I'm telling you, in an instant, everything changes. 00:21:44.530 --> 00:21:51.170 When you call on the name of Jesus, you don't have to question whether or not if he likes you or if he loves you. 00:21:51.490 --> 00:21:56.610 Because the Bible tells us that while you and I were still sinners, that Christ died for us. 00:21:56.850 --> 00:22:02.130 So the mess that you're walking through right now is not God's way of trying to teach you a lesson. 00:22:02.450 --> 00:22:12.130 The mess that you're walking through right now is not God's way of saying you have sin in your life and you don't really and I really gotta get this thing out of you, so therefore, I'm going to get you vexed. 00:22:12.770 --> 00:22:15.090 That is not how God operates. 00:22:20.290 --> 00:22:24.610 Because if that was the case, Jesus would have walked around full of sickness. 00:22:24.850 --> 00:22:27.170 Jesus would have walked around full of disease. 00:22:27.410 --> 00:22:28.290 Jesus would have walked. 00:22:28.530 --> 00:22:31.330 Come on, y'all ain't know already what I'm saying this morning. 00:22:32.210 --> 00:22:33.650 But that wasn't the case. 00:22:33.810 --> 00:22:35.090 Jesus was the perfect man. 00:22:35.250 --> 00:22:39.330 And not only was he not sick or diseased in his body, he actually went around. 00:22:39.410 --> 00:22:45.090 The Bible tells us that he went around healing all that were sick and all that were oppressed by the devil. 00:22:45.170 --> 00:22:45.570 Why? 00:22:45.730 --> 00:22:50.770 Because it is God's will for you not to walk in the mess that you're walking in. 00:22:53.410 --> 00:22:59.090 But if you think it's sent by God, you will never lift your voice and cry beyond your problem. 00:22:59.410 --> 00:22:59.970 Come on now. 00:23:03.410 --> 00:23:04.530 That's a good word. 00:23:05.650 --> 00:23:07.810 I don't know who that's for this one, but just take all of it. 00:23:07.890 --> 00:23:08.370 Come on now. 00:23:09.330 --> 00:23:10.050 Just take it all. 00:23:10.530 --> 00:23:15.810 Come on, some of y'all just need to stop up all them crumbs to get it all, okay? 00:23:16.450 --> 00:23:16.770 Okay. 00:23:17.090 --> 00:23:19.490 Let freedom come into your life this morning. 00:23:19.890 --> 00:23:22.370 Let your freedom come into your life this morning. 00:23:23.009 --> 00:23:27.250 God is not trying to teach you a lesson, therefore, he gives you that problem. 00:23:28.210 --> 00:23:36.290 He's not trying to say, I got uh this is just because I want you to be perfected for this, and you know, I don't I I just want you to walk through the sickness. 00:23:36.610 --> 00:23:38.770 I just want you to walk through this debt right now. 00:23:39.009 --> 00:23:40.130 He doesn't roll that way. 00:23:43.410 --> 00:23:44.210 Come on now. 00:23:48.290 --> 00:23:51.170 Jesus took upon him every curse. 00:23:52.290 --> 00:23:56.210 That way you and I can walk in and live in the blessing. 00:23:57.970 --> 00:23:58.770 Hallelujah. 00:23:59.330 --> 00:23:59.890 Hallelujah. 00:24:04.290 --> 00:24:06.690 So if you're gonna move beyond your problem, watch this. 00:24:06.770 --> 00:24:08.610 You gotta cry beyond your problem. 00:24:08.930 --> 00:24:11.970 He cried out saying, Son of David, have mercy on me. 00:24:12.130 --> 00:24:16.450 The crowd tried to silence him, but the crowd wasn't his answer. 00:24:17.890 --> 00:24:19.490 Jesus was his answer. 00:24:20.690 --> 00:24:27.490 Louder than the opposition became, louder than the opposition became, the louder his faith became. 00:24:28.210 --> 00:24:37.170 I love that picture in in the Bible whenever we read it because it said they tried to shut him up, but the more they tried to shut him up, the more he stood up and said, Y'all need to mind your own business. 00:24:38.130 --> 00:24:41.330 I can't see you right now because if I would, I'd knock all your teeth out. 00:24:42.130 --> 00:24:43.970 But you need to just cut step aside, right? 00:24:44.210 --> 00:24:44.850 Come on now. 00:24:49.250 --> 00:24:56.530 You need to step aside because there is one coming that is my answer, there is one coming that is my healing, there is one coming that is my freedom. 00:24:56.690 --> 00:24:57.250 Come on now. 00:24:57.410 --> 00:25:07.170 And the more they tried to shut this man up, the more he raised his voice and said, Son of David, son of David, son of David, son of David, have mercy on me. 00:25:09.170 --> 00:25:09.890 Thank you, Lord. 00:25:10.130 --> 00:25:13.730 If you want to move beyond your problem, you gotta cry out beyond that thing. 00:25:15.009 --> 00:25:17.250 Luke chapter 18, 39, it says this. 00:25:17.330 --> 00:25:21.570 They warned him that he should be quiet, but he cried out all the more. 00:25:22.210 --> 00:25:30.530 I almost wonder if he cried out all the more because he understood what Jeremiah said in Jeremiah 33 that says this, call to me and I will answer you. 00:25:31.490 --> 00:25:32.210 That's so good. 00:25:34.850 --> 00:25:40.370 Psalms 34, verse 17 says this the righteous cry out, and the Lord hears. 00:25:40.850 --> 00:25:45.650 My friend, if you're gonna move beyond your problem, you gotta cry out beyond your problem. 00:25:46.290 --> 00:25:55.570 Whatever it is that you're facing, cry beyond the crowd, cry beyond the criticism, cry beyond the diagnostic, cry beyond the disappointment, cry beyond the fear. 00:25:55.650 --> 00:25:55.970 Why? 00:25:56.130 --> 00:26:00.850 Because when you cry out, you're crying out to a name that's above every other name. 00:26:01.009 --> 00:26:12.770 You're crying out to a name that has power to heal, power to deliver, power to set you free, power to make a way where there was no way, and that name is Jesus Christ. 00:26:14.130 --> 00:26:17.810 There is a name beyond the noise that you're facing right now. 00:26:18.050 --> 00:26:23.650 There is a name beyond the problem that you're facing right now, and that name is Jesus. 00:26:27.090 --> 00:26:27.730 My God. 00:26:29.890 --> 00:26:31.250 Let me talk to some folks in the room. 00:26:31.330 --> 00:26:32.930 Can I continue to talk to y'all this morning? 00:26:34.370 --> 00:26:35.890 I'm having a grand old time. 00:26:37.570 --> 00:26:40.370 If you're not, come back next week and I'll shout even louder. 00:26:40.450 --> 00:26:41.250 How about that? 00:26:42.290 --> 00:26:43.570 Oh, you can catch me outside. 00:26:43.650 --> 00:26:44.130 How about that? 00:26:44.210 --> 00:26:45.650 No, I'm teasing, okay? 00:26:48.290 --> 00:26:49.410 But watch this now. 00:26:49.490 --> 00:26:53.090 Sometimes the loudest voice is the closest voice. 00:26:56.370 --> 00:27:04.050 See, because I almost wonder if the crowd represented even in this moment to you your own voice. 00:27:04.690 --> 00:27:10.610 Because sometimes your voice tells you certain things that God never tells you. 00:27:10.850 --> 00:27:15.250 It's your own fear, it's your own doubt, it's your own insecurity, it's your own disappointment. 00:27:15.410 --> 00:27:19.970 But my friends, sometimes you gotta cry out past the voice, even in your own head. 00:27:23.730 --> 00:27:24.530 Ah, Lord. 00:27:24.770 --> 00:27:25.090 Amen. 00:27:25.650 --> 00:27:26.050 Uh-huh. 00:27:26.450 --> 00:27:30.370 Some of y'all just need to throw up a wave offering to the Lord right there and say, Hallelujah. 00:27:31.970 --> 00:27:32.610 Come on now. 00:27:33.410 --> 00:27:40.210 Because I'm telling you, sometimes your thought life is what's keeping you out from receiving the solution to your answer. 00:27:47.009 --> 00:27:48.850 Cry out beyond the problem. 00:27:50.050 --> 00:27:54.610 So here's this man, blind, begging on the side of the road. 00:27:54.770 --> 00:27:58.450 He cries out, Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me. 00:27:58.530 --> 00:28:00.770 And then something amazing happens. 00:28:01.170 --> 00:28:04.530 The name that he cried out to responded. 00:28:09.009 --> 00:28:16.370 Aren't you grateful that God not just only hears you when you call to him, but he answers when you call to him? 00:28:17.410 --> 00:28:21.250 Aren't you grateful that he's not a deaf, dumb God? 00:28:21.490 --> 00:28:22.370 Come on now, Lord. 00:28:23.090 --> 00:28:27.170 I know I say that all the time, but I'm telling you right now, every other God that I ever tried to serve. 00:28:28.610 --> 00:28:29.890 What are you talking about, Pastor Aaron? 00:28:30.050 --> 00:28:30.530 No, let me tell. 00:28:30.610 --> 00:28:33.890 I'm telling you right now, I tried some other stuff before I came to Jesus. 00:28:34.690 --> 00:28:35.970 And none of it worked. 00:28:36.690 --> 00:28:37.970 All of it was deaf. 00:28:38.370 --> 00:28:39.490 All of it was dumb. 00:28:39.890 --> 00:28:41.730 All of it could do nothing for me. 00:28:42.450 --> 00:28:53.810 But whenever I called upon the name of Jesus, so therefore, you look at a man today who knows what it's like to call out to a living God and to have a living God respond. 00:28:54.290 --> 00:29:03.490 And my friend, let me tell you, even today, as you cry out beyond your problem to that living God by the name of Jesus Christ, He is answering you even now. 00:29:04.850 --> 00:29:05.570 Even today. 00:29:05.810 --> 00:29:06.290 Amen. 00:29:07.890 --> 00:29:15.730 So the second thing that Barta Mae has showed us if we're gonna get beyond the problem is this you have to move beyond the problem. 00:29:17.170 --> 00:29:18.930 First one is you got to cry beyond the problem. 00:29:19.090 --> 00:29:20.450 Second one, you gotta move beyond the problem. 00:29:20.610 --> 00:29:22.450 Luke 18, verse 40 says this. 00:29:22.610 --> 00:29:25.330 Watch, he cried out, son of David, have mercy on me. 00:29:25.490 --> 00:29:26.530 Then it says this. 00:29:26.690 --> 00:29:32.690 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to him. 00:29:34.450 --> 00:29:35.650 Y'all ready for this? 00:29:39.570 --> 00:29:44.050 I don't know that you are, but you better get it anyway. 00:29:46.930 --> 00:29:58.370 So Jesus stands still, and Jesus looks at this man after this man got Jesus' attention, and Jesus said, Bring him here to me. 00:30:01.090 --> 00:30:02.450 Friend, understand this. 00:30:02.690 --> 00:30:07.570 Jesus didn't heal this man from a distance, he called him near. 00:30:08.210 --> 00:30:13.009 James chapter 4, verse 8 says, This, draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. 00:30:13.730 --> 00:30:22.610 Matthew chapter 11, verse 28 says this, come to me, all you who are labor and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 00:30:26.450 --> 00:30:28.690 You know what Jesus didn't do in that moment?
