00:00:04.830 --> 00:00:06.953
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Lone Star Church podcast.

00:00:06.953 --> 00:00:15.050
<v Speaker 1>Pastors CF and Nicole Rady are here to share the Word of God with you each week, helping you grasp the fullness of God's plan for your life.

00:00:15.050 --> 00:00:17.908
<v Speaker 1>We hope you'll be blessed by this week's message.

00:00:17.908 --> 00:00:24.010
<v Speaker 1>If you live in Northwest Missouri or Southern Iowa, we invite you to join us in person on a Sunday morning.

00:00:24.010 --> 00:00:31.429
<v Speaker 1>For more information about us, visit our website at lonestarchurchorg or find us on Facebook, instagram or YouTube.

00:00:37.042 --> 00:00:42.560
<v Speaker 2>And so, really, what kind of prompted me on today's message?

00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:57.764
<v Speaker 2>And some of you know the story, some of you may not, but I saw a post this week wishing a young girl happy birthday, and it reminded me of a testimony that came up out of this church.

00:00:57.764 --> 00:01:04.813
<v Speaker 2>And so some of you know Dusty and Sarah Johnson and their little daughter, gracie.

00:01:04.813 --> 00:01:06.516
<v Speaker 2>Gracie turned 12.

00:01:06.516 --> 00:01:18.706
<v Speaker 2>And so when Gracie was born they live in Albany when Gracie was born not long, just a few days, maybe a week or two after she was born, they know something wasn't right.

00:01:18.706 --> 00:01:46.843
<v Speaker 2>They took her to Children's Mercy and they basically found cancer throughout her whole body, like if you looked at the scans and I saw them, just black spots throughout her entire little tiny body, and I saw that on Facebook, that she wasn't well and I knew the families, but I didn't know them well, dusty and Sarah well, and I was praying and I was actually holding Olive, who will be turning 12, coming up, so born just a few weeks apart, and I was holding Olive and man, something just broke in my heart.

00:01:46.843 --> 00:01:54.709
<v Speaker 2>I'm like that should not be that this family and their little daughter, she's going to die right, because that was the diagnosis she was going to die.

00:01:54.709 --> 00:01:56.561
<v Speaker 2>And so I just felt the Holy Spirit.

00:01:56.561 --> 00:01:58.206
<v Speaker 2>I contacted Dusty and Sarah.

00:01:58.206 --> 00:02:07.367
<v Speaker 2>They were at Children's Mercy at the time and I went down, I shared with them some scripture that I'll share with you today and prayed with them some scripture that I'll share with you today and prayed with them.

00:02:07.367 --> 00:02:10.325
<v Speaker 2>And then they got sent home for a little bit and they actually brought her to church.

00:02:10.325 --> 00:02:20.508
<v Speaker 2>And when they came into church that Sunday man, I just knew we as a church, we're going to gather around them and we're going to lay hands on her and we're going to pray for her and believe healing in her body.

00:02:20.508 --> 00:02:21.591
<v Speaker 2>And we did.

00:02:21.591 --> 00:02:26.420
<v Speaker 2>And it wasn't a few weeks later.

00:02:26.420 --> 00:02:27.704
<v Speaker 2>You know what they found Nothing, nothing.

00:02:27.704 --> 00:02:29.146
<v Speaker 2>They do scans, nothing.

00:02:29.146 --> 00:02:30.810
<v Speaker 2>They go back, do scans, nothing.

00:02:30.810 --> 00:02:39.219
<v Speaker 2>They go back a couple months, nothing.

00:02:39.219 --> 00:02:40.302
<v Speaker 2>A year later, nothing, completely healed.

00:02:40.302 --> 00:02:41.245
<v Speaker 2>Hallelujah, amen, glory to God.

00:02:41.245 --> 00:02:42.828
<v Speaker 2>That should excite you that God still does those things.

00:02:42.828 --> 00:02:44.270
<v Speaker 2>God still heals, he still does those things.

00:02:44.270 --> 00:02:46.425
<v Speaker 2>And so they'd have to go back every year.

00:02:46.425 --> 00:02:49.139
<v Speaker 2>And I remember the first time they were going back and I talked to them.

00:02:49.139 --> 00:02:53.412
<v Speaker 2>They're like oh, I said, look, we're believing, we stand, she's healed, she's delivered, she's still healed.

00:02:53.412 --> 00:02:54.745
<v Speaker 2>And she's 12 years old.

00:02:54.745 --> 00:02:56.996
<v Speaker 2>And if you see her today, you wouldn't know anything.

00:02:56.996 --> 00:03:07.762
<v Speaker 2>You wouldn't know that she almost died when she was just a few months old Amen, play sports and healthy and running around like a 12-year-old does, and so I saw that she was having a birthday.

00:03:07.762 --> 00:03:08.283
<v Speaker 2>I'm like man.

00:03:08.283 --> 00:03:15.723
<v Speaker 2>That just reminded me of some of the scriptures that I shared with them, and so I'm going to share some of those with you, because I believe those scriptures can help you too, amen.

00:03:16.324 --> 00:03:20.350
<v Speaker 2>So let's go to Matthew, chapter 9.

00:03:20.350 --> 00:03:22.254
<v Speaker 2>Matthew, chapter 9.

00:03:22.254 --> 00:03:24.526
<v Speaker 2>We're going to read, starting in verse 27.

00:03:24.526 --> 00:03:27.201
<v Speaker 2>I encourage you, write these scriptures down.

00:03:27.201 --> 00:03:30.110
<v Speaker 2>If you don't have something to write them down with, put it in your phone.

00:03:30.110 --> 00:03:33.326
<v Speaker 2>I know you got that on you, amen.

00:03:33.326 --> 00:03:34.930
<v Speaker 2>Go back and watch it online.

00:03:34.930 --> 00:03:40.585
<v Speaker 2>You can get them if you don't have anything, but I think it's important that we see the word on this.

00:03:41.246 --> 00:03:48.395
<v Speaker 2>So here Jesus had been ministering, and it says in verse 27,.

00:03:48.395 --> 00:03:55.812
<v Speaker 2>Jesus departed from there and two blind men followed him, crying out and saying son of David, have mercy on us.

00:03:55.812 --> 00:04:00.504
<v Speaker 2>So when Jesus got to a house, he went inside.

00:04:00.504 --> 00:04:02.048
<v Speaker 2>Now it's interesting.

00:04:02.048 --> 00:04:03.509
<v Speaker 2>Jesus is walking.

00:04:03.509 --> 00:04:04.831
<v Speaker 2>These blind men cry out to him.

00:04:04.831 --> 00:04:06.715
<v Speaker 2>What do you think?

00:04:06.715 --> 00:04:09.926
<v Speaker 2>They wanted Healing, right, they wanted to see.

00:04:09.926 --> 00:04:12.331
<v Speaker 2>But Jesus just kept walking.

00:04:12.331 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>He gets all the way to a house.

00:04:15.163 --> 00:04:21.423
<v Speaker 2>I find that interesting that Jesus didn't just stop and do something, pray, for he just kept walking.

00:04:21.423 --> 00:04:22.504
<v Speaker 2>You know what they did?

00:04:22.504 --> 00:04:24.769
<v Speaker 2>They figured a way to find him.

00:04:24.769 --> 00:04:26.413
<v Speaker 2>You ever thought about this?

00:04:26.413 --> 00:04:30.504
<v Speaker 2>How did two blind men find somebody?

00:04:30.504 --> 00:04:31.985
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I hadn't thought about that until this morning.

00:04:31.985 --> 00:04:37.053
<v Speaker 2>They're crying out Jesus, marco Polo, where's he at?

00:04:37.053 --> 00:04:40.682
<v Speaker 2>He's just going.

00:04:40.682 --> 00:04:43.403
<v Speaker 2>But I find it interesting, jesus didn't go to them.

00:04:43.403 --> 00:04:44.204
<v Speaker 2>They went to Jesus.

00:04:45.045 --> 00:04:46.086
<v Speaker 2>You know a lot of Christians today.

00:04:46.086 --> 00:04:48.009
<v Speaker 2>They're waiting for Jesus to come knocking on their door.

00:04:48.009 --> 00:04:51.913
<v Speaker 2>What these guys do, I'm going to go knock on Jesus' door Wherever Jesus is.

00:04:51.913 --> 00:04:53.134
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go where Jesus is.

00:04:53.134 --> 00:04:54.956
<v Speaker 2>It's the importance of being in church on Sunday.

00:04:54.956 --> 00:04:55.916
<v Speaker 2>Why?

00:04:55.916 --> 00:05:01.483
<v Speaker 2>Because maybe the Holy Spirit will lead pastor to say something that I need.

00:05:01.483 --> 00:05:08.206
<v Speaker 2>Maybe the Holy Spirit will lead pastor to pray for me or to say something, something a scripture comes forth that that changes my situation.

00:05:08.206 --> 00:05:09.168
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

00:05:09.168 --> 00:05:11.182
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't happen if you're not where you're supposed to be.

00:05:11.942 --> 00:05:16.853
<v Speaker 2>So these two blind men found Jesus and look at what Jesus asked them.

00:05:16.853 --> 00:05:19.346
<v Speaker 2>I believe this is an important question.

00:05:19.346 --> 00:05:25.492
<v Speaker 2>This is this is a question that, uh, I think honestly needs to be asked at the altar a lot of times for people.

00:05:25.492 --> 00:05:33.504
<v Speaker 2>They came to him seeking to be healed and Jesus said do you believe, all of a sudden, jesus is putting something over on them, right?

00:05:33.504 --> 00:05:39.122
<v Speaker 2>Do you believe that I'm able to do this to heal your blind eyes?

00:05:39.122 --> 00:05:44.091
<v Speaker 2>Jesus is looking for an answer.

00:05:44.091 --> 00:05:45.533
<v Speaker 2>What's Jesus asking?

00:05:45.533 --> 00:05:46.665
<v Speaker 2>What do you believe?

00:05:46.665 --> 00:05:48.747
<v Speaker 2>Jesus knows what he believes.

00:05:48.747 --> 00:05:50.446
<v Speaker 2>Jesus knows what he can do.

00:05:50.446 --> 00:05:52.607
<v Speaker 2>He's looking to see what do you believe?

00:05:52.607 --> 00:05:55.047
<v Speaker 2>It's just like when he was with the disciples.

00:05:55.047 --> 00:05:55.360
<v Speaker 2>Remember?

00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:58.625
<v Speaker 2>He was with the disciples and he says who do people say I am?

00:05:58.625 --> 00:06:02.540
<v Speaker 2>They say they think some Elijah, some Isaiah the prophet.

00:06:02.540 --> 00:06:06.043
<v Speaker 2>And then Jesus asks the more important question who do you say I am?

00:06:06.043 --> 00:06:07.790
<v Speaker 2>So, what's the question?

00:06:07.790 --> 00:06:09.225
<v Speaker 2>Who is Jesus to you?

00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:11.846
<v Speaker 2>Jesus says do you believe I'm able to do this?

00:06:11.846 --> 00:06:12.829
<v Speaker 2>What's the answer?

00:06:12.829 --> 00:06:14.567
<v Speaker 2>Is Jesus able to heal blind eyes?

00:06:14.567 --> 00:06:18.869
<v Speaker 2>Well, jesus is able to heal blind eyes back in his time.

00:06:18.869 --> 00:06:21.168
<v Speaker 2>Is he still able to heal blind eyes today?

00:06:21.168 --> 00:06:29.101
<v Speaker 2>They said to him yes, lord, you know what God's looking for when he asks you if he's able.

00:06:29.101 --> 00:06:30.927
<v Speaker 2>He's looking for a real, simple answer.

00:06:30.927 --> 00:06:33.012
<v Speaker 2>Yes, lord, two simple words.

00:06:33.012 --> 00:06:37.670
<v Speaker 2>Yes, lord, you know what a lot of Christians say Well, you know I've been reading.

00:06:37.670 --> 00:06:43.211
<v Speaker 2>You know grandma said this, jesus, you know grandma believes sometimes people get healed.

00:06:43.211 --> 00:06:44.281
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes people don't get healed.

00:06:44.281 --> 00:06:46.406
<v Speaker 2>You know, aunt Sus, susan, we pray for her.

00:06:46.406 --> 00:06:47.108
<v Speaker 2>She's still blind.

00:06:47.108 --> 00:06:49.403
<v Speaker 2>You know this is I don't know.

00:06:49.403 --> 00:06:49.783
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

00:06:49.783 --> 00:06:51.511
<v Speaker 2>Jesus said do you believe I'm able?

00:06:51.511 --> 00:06:56.023
<v Speaker 2>Quit, quit, quit getting with the complicated answers and just say yes, lord.

00:06:57.004 --> 00:07:10.889
<v Speaker 2>After they answered Jesus, jesus didn't do anything until they answered his question.

00:07:10.889 --> 00:07:19.011
<v Speaker 2>Then Jesus touched their eyes saying look what he said according to your faith, let it be to you.

00:07:19.011 --> 00:07:23.408
<v Speaker 2>He didn't say according to my mighty power, according to God's divine will.

00:07:23.408 --> 00:07:26.968
<v Speaker 2>You know a lot of people, when it comes to healing, this is what they believe.

00:07:26.968 --> 00:07:29.742
<v Speaker 2>Well, if it's God's will, I believe I'll get healed today.

00:07:29.742 --> 00:07:32.548
<v Speaker 2>Jesus didn't say that.

00:07:32.548 --> 00:07:33.449
<v Speaker 2>What did he say?

00:07:33.449 --> 00:07:34.892
<v Speaker 2>He said according to your faith.

00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:39.108
<v Speaker 2>So did the blind men have a part to play in their healing?

00:07:39.108 --> 00:07:43.401
<v Speaker 2>Yep, first part when Jesus walked by, they called out to him.

00:07:43.401 --> 00:07:46.730
<v Speaker 2>Second part when he kept walking, they said we're going to follow him.

00:07:46.730 --> 00:07:51.009
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people would have quit, especially when he went in and shut a door.

00:07:51.009 --> 00:07:54.165
<v Speaker 2>It seems like Jesus doesn't want to pray for him one day.

00:07:54.165 --> 00:07:56.531
<v Speaker 2>Those blind men.

00:07:56.531 --> 00:08:01.887
<v Speaker 2>Jesus, we know you're in there, let us in.

00:08:01.887 --> 00:08:04.593
<v Speaker 2>We want to see, praise the Lord.

00:08:04.593 --> 00:08:08.661
<v Speaker 2>Then they go in.

00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:10.345
<v Speaker 2>Jesus says do you believe I'm able?

00:08:10.345 --> 00:08:18.350
<v Speaker 2>So the first thing, if you're ever seeking healing and it can be for anything, deliverance or whatever first thing you have to answer is is God able to do this in my life?

00:08:18.350 --> 00:08:19.593
<v Speaker 2>Is he able?

00:08:19.593 --> 00:08:22.023
<v Speaker 2>I would venture to guess.

00:08:22.023 --> 00:08:25.312
<v Speaker 2>When it comes to believers and we're supposed to be believers, right?

00:08:25.312 --> 00:08:26.925
<v Speaker 2>What are believers supposed to do?

00:08:26.925 --> 00:08:29.267
<v Speaker 2>Believe, right?

00:08:29.267 --> 00:08:37.285
<v Speaker 2>I would guess most born-again believers, almost 100% would believe God's able to do it, that God has the power to do it.

00:08:37.285 --> 00:08:39.587
<v Speaker 2>Well then, where does the question really become?

00:08:39.587 --> 00:08:41.427
<v Speaker 2>Is God willing to do it?

00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:47.951
<v Speaker 2>Another time, blind men came to Jesus, asked for healing.

00:08:47.951 --> 00:08:50.948
<v Speaker 2>They said, if you will, and Jesus said I will and healed their eyes.

00:08:50.948 --> 00:08:53.869
<v Speaker 2>Here Jesus again didn't come back to God's will.

00:08:53.869 --> 00:08:55.024
<v Speaker 2>He came back to their faith.

00:08:55.024 --> 00:09:02.792
<v Speaker 2>Your ability to receive from God isn't based on his ability to do it.

00:09:02.792 --> 00:09:03.433
<v Speaker 2>Why?

00:09:03.433 --> 00:09:05.089
<v Speaker 2>Because he's 100% able to do it.

00:09:05.089 --> 00:09:05.611
<v Speaker 2>He is able, do we all?

00:09:05.611 --> 00:09:07.059
<v Speaker 2>Because he's 100% able to do it, he is able, right?

00:09:07.059 --> 00:09:07.701
<v Speaker 2>Do we all agree?

00:09:07.701 --> 00:09:09.469
<v Speaker 2>He's 100% able to do anything?

00:09:09.469 --> 00:09:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean any miracle, anything.

00:09:13.365 --> 00:09:22.366
<v Speaker 2>I looked at the scans of that little girl's body and in my mind I didn't think I don't know if God can handle that.

00:09:22.366 --> 00:09:23.893
<v Speaker 2>I'm like God is able.

00:09:23.893 --> 00:09:26.020
<v Speaker 2>And then her parents got to the point.

00:09:26.020 --> 00:09:28.446
<v Speaker 2>We believe he's able, amen.

00:09:28.446 --> 00:09:32.861
<v Speaker 2>So he's not limited by his power, he's limited by your faith.

00:09:32.861 --> 00:09:35.509
<v Speaker 2>What can you believe for?

00:09:35.509 --> 00:09:37.294
<v Speaker 2>What can you believe for?

00:09:37.294 --> 00:09:40.923
<v Speaker 2>Because if you read the Bible, there is no limit to God's power.

00:09:40.923 --> 00:09:43.828
<v Speaker 2>I think about limits to power.

00:09:43.828 --> 00:09:46.553
<v Speaker 2>Anyone watch Gilgan's Island back in the day.

00:09:46.553 --> 00:09:50.027
<v Speaker 2>I always think about Gilgan's Island.

00:09:50.027 --> 00:09:51.546
<v Speaker 2>Right, they're out there on that island.

00:09:51.546 --> 00:09:52.182
<v Speaker 2>These young kids.

00:09:52.182 --> 00:09:52.684
<v Speaker 2>They don't get it.

00:09:54.020 --> 00:09:54.903
<v Speaker 2>Out there on that island.

00:09:54.903 --> 00:09:59.866
<v Speaker 2>But thank God they had the professor Right and professor figured a way to make power.

00:09:59.866 --> 00:10:02.044
<v Speaker 2>He get old Gilgan or Skipper on that bike.

00:10:02.044 --> 00:10:05.559
<v Speaker 2>He made out of bamboo, they just pedal Right we.

00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:06.206
<v Speaker 2>He'd get old Gilligan or Skipper on that bike.

00:10:06.206 --> 00:10:06.773
<v Speaker 2>He made out of bamboo, They'd just pedal right.

00:10:06.773 --> 00:10:07.769
<v Speaker 2>We need more power, Gilligan, he's just pedaling.

00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:11.910
<v Speaker 2>I know God doesn't have Jesus up on a bicycle in heaven making more power.

00:10:11.910 --> 00:10:14.788
<v Speaker 2>He's got all power, he's got all ability.

00:10:14.788 --> 00:10:16.806
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing he cannot do.

00:10:16.806 --> 00:10:21.581
<v Speaker 2>So then people say, well, if there's nothing God cannot do, why isn't this happening in my life?

00:10:21.581 --> 00:10:25.067
<v Speaker 2>Well, when's the last time you went seeking after him?

00:10:25.067 --> 00:10:27.291
<v Speaker 2>When's the last time you went knocking?

00:10:27.291 --> 00:10:38.167
<v Speaker 2>Because the Bible says if you knock it will be open, If you seek you will find, and if you believe he's able, then according to your faith, let it be to you, Amen.

00:10:38.187 --> 00:10:39.850
<v Speaker 2>Let's go over to Mark, chapter five.

00:10:39.850 --> 00:10:41.313
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Lord.

00:10:41.313 --> 00:10:57.974
<v Speaker 2>Mark, chapter 5, this is actually the passage that I shared with little Gracie's parents, that some of you I've probably been in a hospital room with you and shared Mark, chapter 5.

00:10:57.974 --> 00:11:00.465
<v Speaker 2>It's an amazing passage.

00:11:00.465 --> 00:11:01.649
<v Speaker 2>We'll start in verse 21.

00:11:01.649 --> 00:11:06.208
<v Speaker 2>So Jesus again, he'd been out ministering.

00:11:06.208 --> 00:11:08.547
<v Speaker 2>He crossed over again by boat.

00:11:08.547 --> 00:11:10.886
<v Speaker 2>A great multitude gathered to him.

00:11:10.886 --> 00:11:12.506
<v Speaker 2>He was by the sea verse 22.

00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:16.850
<v Speaker 2>And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name.

00:11:16.850 --> 00:11:20.331
<v Speaker 2>And when Jairus saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.

00:11:20.331 --> 00:11:22.785
<v Speaker 2>He begged him earnestly.

00:11:22.785 --> 00:11:24.405
<v Speaker 2>Listen to what Jairus said.

00:11:24.405 --> 00:11:25.182
<v Speaker 2>This is very important.

00:11:25.182 --> 00:11:25.826
<v Speaker 2>Verse 23.

00:11:25.826 --> 00:11:28.729
<v Speaker 2>My little daughter lies at the point of death.

00:11:28.729 --> 00:11:34.650
<v Speaker 2>Come and lay your hands on her that she may be healed and she will live.

00:11:34.650 --> 00:11:36.086
<v Speaker 2>So let's stay right here just for a moment.

00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:48.803
<v Speaker 2>I actually shared this just recently, something similar, and Kenneth Copeland has a book that is entitled You're the Prophet of your Own Life.

00:11:48.803 --> 00:11:52.312
<v Speaker 2>So listen to what Jairus said.

00:11:52.312 --> 00:12:00.423
<v Speaker 2>The first thing he said was a statement of fact.

00:12:00.423 --> 00:12:01.565
<v Speaker 2>My little daughter lies at the point of death.

00:12:01.565 --> 00:12:02.726
<v Speaker 2>So he stated the facts of what was going on.

00:12:02.726 --> 00:12:05.693
<v Speaker 2>His daughter was dying, literally at death's door.

00:12:05.693 --> 00:12:09.850
<v Speaker 2>Then the next statement he makes is a statement of faith.

00:12:09.850 --> 00:12:18.402
<v Speaker 2>What did he say, Jesus, if you come to my house and you lay your hands on my daughter, what was his faith?

00:12:18.402 --> 00:12:20.826
<v Speaker 2>She'll be healed and she'll live.

00:12:20.826 --> 00:12:22.590
<v Speaker 2>What did he do?

00:12:22.590 --> 00:12:26.344
<v Speaker 2>He declared the result before it happened.

00:12:26.344 --> 00:12:28.467
<v Speaker 2>That's what faith does.

00:12:28.467 --> 00:12:29.269
<v Speaker 2>Faith says.

00:12:29.269 --> 00:12:31.094
<v Speaker 2>Let me just tell you what's going to happen.

00:12:31.094 --> 00:12:33.167
<v Speaker 2>It reminds me I was watching a video the other day.

00:12:34.340 --> 00:12:36.164
<v Speaker 2>Larry Bird was my favorite basketball player.

00:12:36.164 --> 00:12:39.091
<v Speaker 2>When I was a kid Loved Larry Bird and I was watching a video.

00:12:39.091 --> 00:12:50.764
<v Speaker 2>They were talking about Larry Bird that even when he was older and his back was hurt he played in his last Olympics and a young guy in the practice had kind of said some stuff to Larry Bird and Larry Bird said just watch this.

00:12:50.764 --> 00:12:55.830
<v Speaker 2>And so Larry Bird would come down and he'd go I'm going to cross over, shoot with my left hand, drain it from 15 feet.

00:12:55.830 --> 00:12:59.701
<v Speaker 2>He would cross over, shoot with his left hand, drain it from 15 feet.

00:12:59.701 --> 00:13:04.725
<v Speaker 2>Then he'd come down and he's like I'm going to go behind my back, go around you and lay it up Everything he said he did.

00:13:04.725 --> 00:13:09.370
<v Speaker 2>He would tell you what he was going to do and then he would just do it.

00:13:09.370 --> 00:13:12.153
<v Speaker 2>I know that's what we see here.

00:13:12.953 --> 00:13:15.115
<v Speaker 2>Faith declares this is what's going to happen.

00:13:15.115 --> 00:13:21.392
<v Speaker 2>Devil, my daughter is at the point of death, but she's not going to die because Jesus is going to come to my house.

00:13:21.392 --> 00:13:24.907
<v Speaker 2>Jesus is going to pray for her, she's going to get healed and she's going to live.

00:13:24.907 --> 00:13:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Too many people are just declaring facts and not declaring anything by faith.

00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:35.149
<v Speaker 2>No, faith declares something, Faith says something.

00:13:35.149 --> 00:13:40.163
<v Speaker 2>Amen, Faith makes a statement based on what it believes.

00:13:40.163 --> 00:13:44.957
<v Speaker 2>So, verse 24, we're going to take a little side journey here.

00:13:44.957 --> 00:13:46.663
<v Speaker 2>Jesus is going to Jairus' house.

00:13:46.663 --> 00:13:49.681
<v Speaker 2>A great multitude followed him, thronged him right.

00:13:49.681 --> 00:13:51.590
<v Speaker 2>Just imagine people reaching out trying to grab him.

00:13:52.575 --> 00:13:54.100
<v Speaker 2>And now we get introduced to another person.

00:13:54.100 --> 00:13:57.629
<v Speaker 2>A certain woman had a flow of blood for 12 years.

00:13:57.629 --> 00:13:58.913
<v Speaker 2>So there's this older woman.

00:13:58.913 --> 00:14:04.052
<v Speaker 2>She's had this blood disease, internal bleeding, some sort of blood disease, for 12 years.

00:14:04.052 --> 00:14:07.486
<v Speaker 2>It says she had suffered many things from many doctors.

00:14:08.089 --> 00:14:10.875
<v Speaker 2>I know I I believe in doctors, right, doctors?

00:14:10.875 --> 00:14:11.076
<v Speaker 2>What?

00:14:11.076 --> 00:14:11.577
<v Speaker 2>What I want?

00:14:11.577 --> 00:14:14.128
<v Speaker 2>They want you better, but guess what?

00:14:14.128 --> 00:14:15.422
<v Speaker 2>What you'll find?

00:14:15.543 --> 00:14:17.669
<v Speaker 2>Even today, medical science has an end.

00:14:17.669 --> 00:14:23.133
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you can go to the doctor and you know a doctor will tell you there is nothing more we can do.

00:14:23.133 --> 00:14:25.268
<v Speaker 2>I'll never forget I went to someone's house years ago.

00:14:25.268 --> 00:14:26.965
<v Speaker 2>They'd went to the doctor.

00:14:26.965 --> 00:14:28.269
<v Speaker 2>They were dealing with a certain situation.

00:14:28.269 --> 00:14:30.375
<v Speaker 2>They came home, home, and I said what did the doctor say?

00:14:30.375 --> 00:14:32.341
<v Speaker 2>The doctor told me there is nothing more they can do.

00:14:32.341 --> 00:14:41.870
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you're not a believer and you don't know Jesus as your healer not just your savior, but also as your healer, that's dire circumstances.

00:14:41.870 --> 00:14:42.390
<v Speaker 2>Why?

00:14:42.390 --> 00:14:43.153
<v Speaker 2>Because the doctor.

00:14:43.153 --> 00:14:46.910
<v Speaker 2>I was counting on the doctor to help me and the doctor said there's nothing more they can do.

00:14:46.910 --> 00:14:50.022
<v Speaker 2>That was her, her issue, right?

00:14:50.022 --> 00:14:57.625
<v Speaker 2>So again we're stating facts blood disease for 12 years, suffered many things from many doctors and just imagine what she suffered back then.

00:14:57.625 --> 00:15:07.264
<v Speaker 2>I mean, those doctors do some crazy stuff right leeches, drill holes in you and everything else plus.

00:15:07.264 --> 00:15:11.172
<v Speaker 2>Now she's not only sick and weak, she she's broke.

00:15:11.172 --> 00:15:11.692
<v Speaker 2>Why?

00:15:11.692 --> 00:15:19.269
<v Speaker 2>Because she'd spent all she had but hadn't got better, had got worse Verse 27,.

00:15:20.731 --> 00:15:28.070
<v Speaker 2>But when she heard about Jesus, Romans 10 tells us what Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

00:15:28.070 --> 00:15:30.162
<v Speaker 2>Tell you what you hear about Jesus.

00:15:30.162 --> 00:15:31.024
<v Speaker 2>It'll change your life.

00:15:31.024 --> 00:15:32.948
<v Speaker 2>What do you think she heard about Jesus?

00:15:32.948 --> 00:15:34.980
<v Speaker 2>Heard, he was a healer.

00:15:34.980 --> 00:15:41.783
<v Speaker 2>You know if you need healed, you know what you need to hear about Jesus that he's a healer.

00:15:41.783 --> 00:15:43.692
<v Speaker 2>You need delivered.

00:15:43.692 --> 00:15:44.756
<v Speaker 2>You need to hear he's a deliverer.

00:15:44.756 --> 00:15:45.320
<v Speaker 2>You need saved.

00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:46.561
<v Speaker 2>You need to hear he's a savior.

00:15:46.561 --> 00:15:48.341
<v Speaker 2>She heard about Jesus.

00:15:48.341 --> 00:15:49.783
<v Speaker 2>What do we say?

00:15:49.783 --> 00:15:51.864
<v Speaker 2>Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word.

00:15:51.864 --> 00:15:54.365
<v Speaker 2>So when she heard, what came?

00:15:54.365 --> 00:15:57.726
<v Speaker 2>When she heard Faith, What'd she do?

00:15:57.726 --> 00:16:00.969
<v Speaker 2>She came in the crowd and touched his garment.

00:16:00.969 --> 00:16:02.970
<v Speaker 2>We know she touched the hem of his garment.

00:16:02.990 --> 00:16:04.311
<v Speaker 2>Now look at this, though, verse 28,.

00:16:04.311 --> 00:16:08.854
<v Speaker 2>For she said everybody say, said she said something.

00:16:08.854 --> 00:16:10.053
<v Speaker 2>Did Jairus say something?

00:16:10.053 --> 00:16:16.118
<v Speaker 2>Jairus said if you'll come to my house and you'll pray for my daughter, she will be healed and she'll live.

00:16:16.118 --> 00:16:21.361
<v Speaker 2>Now the woman with the issue of blood is saying something.

00:16:21.361 --> 00:16:21.761
<v Speaker 2>What's she doing?

00:16:21.761 --> 00:16:22.623
<v Speaker 2>She's prophesying over her own life.

00:16:22.623 --> 00:16:25.927
<v Speaker 2>Before she even got there, she said this if I can just touch his clothes, I'll be made well.

00:16:25.927 --> 00:16:31.333
<v Speaker 2>Now I believe, when she left, she may have said if I can get to Jesus and he prays for me, I'll be made well.

00:16:31.333 --> 00:16:34.524
<v Speaker 2>But then she got there and she sees this crowd of thousands of people.

00:16:34.524 --> 00:16:36.469
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine getting there?

00:16:36.469 --> 00:16:38.052
<v Speaker 2>You're expecting to see someone.

00:16:38.052 --> 00:16:41.865
<v Speaker 2>Right, you ever went somewhere to see something big.

00:16:41.865 --> 00:16:50.264
<v Speaker 2>Right, you go like to I've taken my kids to the Royals Parade or the Chief the chiefs parade or something, and you're just hoping you can see.

00:16:50.264 --> 00:16:55.465
<v Speaker 2>So you're like maybe you know you go to a concert, like maybe I'll just run into them out in the thing, right?

00:16:55.706 --> 00:16:56.908
<v Speaker 2>and then you're up in the cheap seats.

00:16:56.908 --> 00:16:57.429
<v Speaker 2>Like is that?

00:16:57.490 --> 00:16:58.152
<v Speaker 2>them down there.

00:16:58.152 --> 00:17:02.488
<v Speaker 2>So she went to see jesus and that was her deal.

00:17:02.488 --> 00:17:06.521
<v Speaker 2>She probably thought I'm out here, jesus, I'm gonna go, and jesus gonna pray for me.

00:17:06.521 --> 00:17:07.163
<v Speaker 2>Then she gets.

00:17:07.163 --> 00:17:12.253
<v Speaker 2>And what would most people do when they see the crowd and they see they're in row 100?

00:17:12.253 --> 00:17:14.665
<v Speaker 2>Well, it looks like I'm not going to get healed today.

00:17:14.665 --> 00:17:19.590
<v Speaker 2>Not this lady Old, sick, broke, weak.

00:17:21.337 --> 00:17:21.920
<v Speaker 2>She said something.

00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:22.260
<v Speaker 2>She goes.

00:17:22.260 --> 00:17:23.205
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to tell you what.

00:17:23.205 --> 00:17:31.288
<v Speaker 2>I may not get Jesus to touch me or pray for me, but I bet you I can get to his clothes.

00:17:31.288 --> 00:17:31.731
<v Speaker 2>Talk about some faith.

00:17:31.731 --> 00:17:32.335
<v Speaker 2>She didn't just need Jesus to.

00:17:32.335 --> 00:17:35.048
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I believe Jesus is going to call me forward and lay hands on me and it'll be so special.

00:17:35.048 --> 00:17:38.060
<v Speaker 2>And you know, angels will sing and doves will come down from heaven.

00:17:38.060 --> 00:17:41.443
<v Speaker 2>And you know, she said I'm going to touch his clothes.

00:17:41.443 --> 00:17:49.029
<v Speaker 2>Right, one of those things I touched I'm never washing this hand again Touched his clothes.

00:17:49.029 --> 00:17:52.272
<v Speaker 2>She said if I just touch his clothes, I'll be made.

00:17:52.272 --> 00:17:53.834
<v Speaker 2>Well, what do you think she'd heard about Jesus?

00:17:53.834 --> 00:18:00.845
<v Speaker 2>He's such a healer that healing power flows through him in such a way it even goes into his clothes.

00:18:00.845 --> 00:18:04.152
<v Speaker 2>She made a statement of faith Verse 29,.

00:18:04.152 --> 00:18:08.656
<v Speaker 2>Immediately she did it and immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up.

00:18:08.656 --> 00:18:09.403
<v Speaker 2>She felt in her body.

00:18:09.403 --> 00:18:10.426
<v Speaker 2>She was healed of the affliction.

00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:15.891
<v Speaker 2>Jesus immediately knew in himself that power virtue.

00:18:15.891 --> 00:18:20.871
<v Speaker 2>In the King James the word is dunamis in the Greek, which is the root word for dynamite.

00:18:20.871 --> 00:18:23.267
<v Speaker 2>You ever lit a stick of dynamite before?

00:18:23.267 --> 00:18:26.548
<v Speaker 2>How about an M80 or something you like something?

00:18:26.548 --> 00:18:30.010
<v Speaker 2>As a kid I remember my brother Kevin's not here.

00:18:30.010 --> 00:18:38.748
<v Speaker 2>I remember when his boys came, kevin and AJ, when they were little and I was still the fun uncle because I didn't have kids yet, so I just let's go do crazy stuff.

00:18:38.748 --> 00:18:43.199
<v Speaker 2>And we got some big firecrackers, we went over to the pond, we're throwing frogs and stuff.

00:18:43.199 --> 00:18:44.684
<v Speaker 2>Bam, look at that.

00:18:44.684 --> 00:18:46.069
<v Speaker 2>Frog's legs went flying.

00:18:46.069 --> 00:18:51.944
<v Speaker 2>There's some power just in writing something little like that Dunamis power.

00:18:52.205 --> 00:18:52.625
<v Speaker 2>Jesus said.

00:18:52.625 --> 00:18:56.074
<v Speaker 2>Power went out of me and Jesus said who touched my clothes?

00:18:56.074 --> 00:18:58.305
<v Speaker 2>Answer the question who touched his clothes?

00:18:58.305 --> 00:19:00.730
<v Speaker 2>Everybody, it said.

00:19:00.730 --> 00:19:01.593
<v Speaker 2>They were thronging him.

00:19:01.593 --> 00:19:06.349
<v Speaker 2>Everyone was touching him, but only one person did his power go into.

00:19:07.031 --> 00:19:09.105
<v Speaker 2>You say, boy, it would have been nice to be lucky like that.

00:19:09.105 --> 00:19:11.144
<v Speaker 2>Oh, she must have been lucky.

00:19:11.144 --> 00:19:13.570
<v Speaker 2>It was God's will that she'd be healed, but not anyone.

00:19:13.570 --> 00:19:14.781
<v Speaker 2>Too bad for you all.

00:19:14.781 --> 00:19:19.861
<v Speaker 2>No, we're going here the difference Jesus is going to tell us the difference.

00:19:19.861 --> 00:19:21.064
<v Speaker 2>Jesus said who touched me?

00:19:21.064 --> 00:19:22.648
<v Speaker 2>Disciples, get a little smart with him.

00:19:22.648 --> 00:19:23.411
<v Speaker 2>Look at verse 32.

00:19:23.411 --> 00:19:26.784
<v Speaker 2>Or he looked around to see who had done this.

00:19:27.005 --> 00:19:29.490
<v Speaker 2>Verse 33, the woman fearing and trembling.

00:19:29.490 --> 00:19:31.847
<v Speaker 2>Right, the disciples were like everyone's touching Jesus.

00:19:31.847 --> 00:19:38.086
<v Speaker 2>Now she comes forth, knowing what happened to her, fell down before him, told him the whole truth.

00:19:38.086 --> 00:19:45.847
<v Speaker 2>And Jesus said to her daughter your number came up before God in heaven today, and so you got healed.

00:19:45.847 --> 00:19:53.173
<v Speaker 2>Daughter Gabriel reached into the big bucket of balls and pulled out your number.

00:19:53.173 --> 00:19:56.667
<v Speaker 2>The raffle in heaven came up and you got healed.

00:19:56.667 --> 00:19:57.349
<v Speaker 2>Is that what he said?

00:19:57.349 --> 00:20:06.406
<v Speaker 2>He said, daughter, your faith has made you whole, made you well here in the New King James, whole in the King James other versions.

00:20:06.406 --> 00:20:11.847
<v Speaker 2>So did her faith play a part in her healing?

00:20:11.847 --> 00:20:18.530
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, jesus said right, nicole has told him this numerous times.

00:20:18.530 --> 00:20:19.432
<v Speaker 2>She does such a great job.

00:20:20.521 --> 00:20:22.829
<v Speaker 2>It's always the same power that heals.

00:20:22.829 --> 00:20:24.746
<v Speaker 2>It's always the same power.

00:20:24.746 --> 00:20:30.565
<v Speaker 2>It's God's power that heals, but it manifests sometimes in different ways, but it's always your faith that receives it.

00:20:30.565 --> 00:20:40.452
<v Speaker 2>Right, it's just like this right up under here right, we've got a little outlet under here and there's power in that outlet.

00:20:40.452 --> 00:20:45.170
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't look like nothing plugged into it, right, just looks like a little plate on the wall.

00:20:45.170 --> 00:20:49.426
<v Speaker 2>And you come up here and you could stick a wooden rod in there and you know what happened Nothing.

00:20:49.426 --> 00:20:51.853
<v Speaker 2>You stick a glass rod in there, you know what's going to happen Nothing.

00:20:51.853 --> 00:20:54.084
<v Speaker 2>Stick a bare piece of copper in there.

00:20:54.084 --> 00:20:57.851
<v Speaker 2>Anyone ever been bit before?

00:20:57.851 --> 00:20:58.531
<v Speaker 2>Man?

00:20:58.531 --> 00:21:00.265
<v Speaker 2>I was working on a switch one time.

00:21:00.265 --> 00:21:02.017
<v Speaker 2>I didn't kill power because I didn't want to waste the time.

00:21:02.017 --> 00:21:02.901
<v Speaker 2>Go to the basement and do it.

00:21:02.901 --> 00:21:05.786
<v Speaker 2>Just got bit right.

00:21:05.786 --> 00:21:07.469
<v Speaker 2>My pliers came across both lines.

00:21:07.469 --> 00:21:08.592
<v Speaker 2>Man, I talk about it.

00:21:08.592 --> 00:21:12.686
<v Speaker 2>It still hurts my hand when I talk about it.

00:21:13.147 --> 00:21:22.395
<v Speaker 2>Jesus said daughter, the reason the power went out of me and into you had everything to do with you Was the power available to heal everyone in the room.

00:21:22.395 --> 00:21:23.419
<v Speaker 2>Think about this.

00:21:23.419 --> 00:21:24.541
<v Speaker 2>Everyone remember the story.

00:21:24.541 --> 00:21:30.034
<v Speaker 2>There is the man who was paralyzed and his four friends brought him to Jesus to get healed.

00:21:30.034 --> 00:21:30.661
<v Speaker 2>Remember that story.

00:21:30.661 --> 00:21:41.512
<v Speaker 2>In the Gospels you ever hear that in VBS they get to the house where Jesus was, and the Bible, the story says that they couldn't get into the house, couldn't get in there.

00:21:41.512 --> 00:21:44.902
<v Speaker 2>And Well, most people, most Christians today, just like that.

00:21:44.902 --> 00:21:48.422
<v Speaker 2>They would have got to the crowd and be like I don't think I can get to him, I'm just going to go home.

00:21:48.422 --> 00:21:49.325
<v Speaker 2>Okay, go home sick.

00:21:49.325 --> 00:21:57.767
<v Speaker 2>They get there and they're like oh, we can't, buddy, sorry, you're going to be paralyzed for at least another week or two until we can get to Jesus.

00:21:57.767 --> 00:21:59.098
<v Speaker 2>That's not what happened.

00:21:59.098 --> 00:21:59.480
<v Speaker 2>What'd they do?

00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:15.436
<v Speaker 2>One of them at least one of them looked up and said you know, that roof's low enough.

00:22:15.436 --> 00:22:16.160
<v Speaker 2>I think we can climb up on there.

00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:16.821
<v Speaker 2>No one said I bet you we can.

00:22:16.821 --> 00:22:18.165
<v Speaker 2>I bet you we can push him up and it's just a thatched roof.

00:22:18.165 --> 00:22:19.730
<v Speaker 2>I bet you we can rip a hole in it and there's some rope over there.

00:22:19.730 --> 00:22:21.497
<v Speaker 2>Let's just lower him down in front of Jesus.

00:22:21.497 --> 00:22:23.423
<v Speaker 2>Then she's gonna have to do something.

00:22:23.443 --> 00:22:25.471
<v Speaker 2>Pastor Mark has a message he talks about.

00:22:25.471 --> 00:22:35.328
<v Speaker 2>Every Christian needs at least four crazy faith friends, someone that says man, we're going to get you there, I'm going to get you to Jesus, I'm going to get you there, right, because most people would have got.

00:22:35.328 --> 00:22:36.596
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't think we can do it.

00:22:36.596 --> 00:22:44.298
<v Speaker 2>This is why you need four friends right, because if you only have two crazy faith friends like let's get up on that roof, lower them down, then the others are like that's silly.

00:22:44.298 --> 00:22:46.259
<v Speaker 2>Someone will get hurt.

00:22:46.259 --> 00:22:47.340
<v Speaker 2>I'll be paralyzed.

00:22:47.340 --> 00:22:48.962
<v Speaker 2>If we go up there I'll fall off the roof.

00:22:48.962 --> 00:22:53.907
<v Speaker 2>Like you got money, this guy's going to ask us to fix his roof.

00:22:53.907 --> 00:22:55.630
<v Speaker 2>They weren't worried about any of that.

00:22:55.630 --> 00:22:57.471
<v Speaker 2>They weren't worried about falling off the roof.

00:22:57.471 --> 00:23:02.676
<v Speaker 2>They weren't worried about the guy getting mad at him.

00:23:02.676 --> 00:23:03.258
<v Speaker 2>They're only concerned.

00:23:03.258 --> 00:23:06.884
<v Speaker 2>We're going to get our friend here and, in fact, if you read that story, look up so I can give the passage.

00:23:07.965 --> 00:23:11.010
<v Speaker 2>If you read that story, look up so I can give the passage.

00:23:11.010 --> 00:23:13.154
<v Speaker 2>If you read that story, this is what it says.

00:23:13.154 --> 00:23:18.458
<v Speaker 2>It says Jesus was teaching, sitting in the house, and it says the power of God was there to heal people.

00:23:18.458 --> 00:23:18.857
<v Speaker 2>Power was available.

00:23:18.857 --> 00:23:18.939
<v Speaker 2>Why?

00:23:18.939 --> 00:23:21.782
<v Speaker 2>Because Jesus was there, and everywhere Jesus went, the power went.

00:23:21.782 --> 00:23:24.385
<v Speaker 2>That's why she touched his clothes and the power was there.

00:23:24.385 --> 00:23:27.130
<v Speaker 2>It says the power was present to heal them.

00:23:27.130 --> 00:23:30.741
<v Speaker 2>Yet only one person, only one person, got healed.

00:23:30.741 --> 00:23:31.242
<v Speaker 2>Why?

00:23:31.242 --> 00:23:33.488
<v Speaker 2>You read that story and you can look it up.

00:23:33.488 --> 00:23:34.396
<v Speaker 2>I'll give it to you here in a minute.

00:23:34.396 --> 00:23:35.338
<v Speaker 2>You look that up.

00:23:35.338 --> 00:23:36.962
<v Speaker 2>You read the story Jesus says.

00:23:36.962 --> 00:23:39.256
<v Speaker 2>It says he saw their faith.

00:23:39.256 --> 00:23:45.724
<v Speaker 2>He saw their faith, he saw the action of their faith and he preached him.

00:23:45.724 --> 00:23:46.946
<v Speaker 2>Well, mark 2.

00:23:46.946 --> 00:23:48.248
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you can look that up.

00:23:48.248 --> 00:23:54.819
<v Speaker 2>And so here Jesus says daughter, your faith has made you well.

00:23:54.819 --> 00:23:56.267
<v Speaker 2>Let's not forget where did we start this story Jairus' daughter's dying.

00:23:56.267 --> 00:23:56.488
<v Speaker 2>Now we get.

00:23:56.488 --> 00:23:57.111
<v Speaker 2>This woman gets healed.

00:23:57.111 --> 00:23:58.015
<v Speaker 2>Her faith made a difference.

00:23:58.015 --> 00:23:58.856
<v Speaker 2>Verse 35.

00:23:58.856 --> 00:24:00.259
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, lord.

00:24:00.961 --> 00:24:05.642
<v Speaker 2>While he was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house and said your daughter is dead.

00:24:05.642 --> 00:24:06.945
<v Speaker 2>Don't trouble the teacher any further.

00:24:06.945 --> 00:24:12.380
<v Speaker 2>If you're a parent, that is the worst news you could ever hear.

00:24:12.380 --> 00:24:13.262
<v Speaker 2>Every parent would agree.

00:24:13.262 --> 00:24:14.828
<v Speaker 2>That is the worst news you could ever get.

00:24:14.828 --> 00:24:15.230
<v Speaker 2>Your child has died.

00:24:15.230 --> 00:24:16.073
<v Speaker 2>Don't you think, jairus?

00:24:16.073 --> 00:24:18.579
<v Speaker 2>What do you think ran through his mind and his wife's mind?

00:24:18.579 --> 00:24:21.287
<v Speaker 2>If only we could have got to Jesus sooner.

00:24:21.287 --> 00:24:23.559
<v Speaker 2>If only we could have got him sooner.

00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:29.375
<v Speaker 2>All those thoughts, all that fear, all that dread starts to flood into his mind.

00:24:30.137 --> 00:24:35.068
<v Speaker 2>But as soon as Jesus heard the word, he knew what was coming in Jairus' mind.

00:24:35.068 --> 00:24:37.539
<v Speaker 2>He said to Jairus don't be afraid.

00:24:37.539 --> 00:24:38.061
<v Speaker 2>Only believe.

00:24:38.061 --> 00:24:43.801
<v Speaker 2>I sat in that room at Children's Mercy and I shared this scripture with him and I told him.

00:24:43.801 --> 00:24:48.563
<v Speaker 2>I said you're going to sit in this hospital and the doctors are going to walk in the next few days.

00:24:48.563 --> 00:24:53.663
<v Speaker 2>Some reports will be good, but some may not be good, don't be afraid, only believe.

00:24:53.663 --> 00:24:55.875
<v Speaker 2>Don't be afraid, only believe.

00:24:55.875 --> 00:25:00.820
<v Speaker 2>And I took Dusty's number and I said every once in a while I'm going to text you and all I'm going to say is don't be afraid, only believe.

00:25:00.820 --> 00:25:02.546
<v Speaker 2>Believe what.

00:25:02.546 --> 00:25:04.638
<v Speaker 2>What do we believe right now, you, what do we believe right now?

00:25:04.638 --> 00:25:05.800
<v Speaker 2>You know what they believe right there.

00:25:05.800 --> 00:25:13.096
<v Speaker 2>They said see, if I believe that God is healing our daughter, that she's healed, don't be afraid, only believe.

00:25:13.096 --> 00:25:14.959
<v Speaker 2>What did Jairus believe when he came to Jesus?

00:25:14.959 --> 00:25:18.503
<v Speaker 2>If you'll come to my house, pray for my daughter, she'll be healed and live.

00:25:18.503 --> 00:25:20.246
<v Speaker 2>So what was Jesus saying?

00:25:20.246 --> 00:25:21.868
<v Speaker 2>Don't be afraid to believe, believe what.

00:25:21.868 --> 00:25:23.150
<v Speaker 2>You spoke already by faith.

00:25:23.150 --> 00:25:25.537
<v Speaker 2>What did you already say?

00:25:25.537 --> 00:25:26.219
<v Speaker 2>What did you already say?

00:25:26.219 --> 00:25:27.301
<v Speaker 2>She's going to live.

00:25:27.301 --> 00:25:28.476
<v Speaker 2>Let's just keep believing.

00:25:28.476 --> 00:25:30.179
<v Speaker 2>So then they go right.

00:25:30.358 --> 00:25:31.079
<v Speaker 2>Verse 37.

00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:36.958
<v Speaker 2>So Jesus permitted no one else from Peter, james and John.

00:25:36.958 --> 00:25:38.884
<v Speaker 2>So what Jesus do?

00:25:38.884 --> 00:25:40.289
<v Speaker 2>He said I need my faith squad.

00:25:40.289 --> 00:25:42.215
<v Speaker 2>I need people who are really going to believe.

00:25:42.215 --> 00:25:43.817
<v Speaker 2>I don't want any doubters back there.

00:25:43.817 --> 00:25:45.121
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know Jesus, she's dead.

00:25:45.121 --> 00:25:45.842
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we shouldn't go.

00:25:45.842 --> 00:25:47.263
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we should go over here and do this.

00:25:47.263 --> 00:25:58.464
<v Speaker 2>No, jesus said I need the guys that are going to stick with me here so they get to the house Look at this Took them all weeping, wailing, which you would for a young child dying.

00:25:59.335 --> 00:26:01.082
<v Speaker 2>Jesus verse 39, sent them all out.

00:26:01.082 --> 00:26:03.438
<v Speaker 2>He said why are you making this commotion?

00:26:03.438 --> 00:26:05.101
<v Speaker 2>Child making this commotion?

00:26:05.101 --> 00:26:05.401
<v Speaker 2>Child is dead.

00:26:05.401 --> 00:26:06.923
<v Speaker 2>The child is not dead, she's sleeping.

00:26:06.923 --> 00:26:09.068
<v Speaker 2>They made fun of him.

00:26:09.068 --> 00:26:19.054
<v Speaker 2>He put them all outside and went in with Jairus, his wife, peter James and John Verse 41,.

00:26:19.795 --> 00:26:22.878
<v Speaker 2>Jesus walked up to that little girl laying in a bed.

00:26:22.878 --> 00:26:25.061
<v Speaker 2>He took her by the hand and said Talitha Kumi.

00:26:25.061 --> 00:26:28.645
<v Speaker 2>Translated little girl, I say to you arise.

00:26:28.645 --> 00:26:29.907
<v Speaker 2>Verse 42,.

00:26:29.907 --> 00:26:32.191
<v Speaker 2>Immediately the girl rose up and walked.

00:26:32.191 --> 00:26:35.435
<v Speaker 2>She was 12 years of age.

00:26:35.435 --> 00:26:36.837
<v Speaker 2>They were overcome with great amazement.

00:26:36.837 --> 00:26:40.261
<v Speaker 2>So don't be afraid, only believe.

00:26:40.323 --> 00:26:40.762
<v Speaker 2>Believe what.

00:26:40.762 --> 00:26:43.046
<v Speaker 2>What did you say by faith when you first came?

00:26:43.046 --> 00:26:53.377
<v Speaker 2>What did the woman with the issue of blood say If I can just touch his clothes, what did those blind men say?

00:26:53.377 --> 00:26:53.638
<v Speaker 2>You are able.

00:26:53.638 --> 00:26:54.584
<v Speaker 2>We believe, yes, lord, we believe you can do it.

00:26:54.584 --> 00:26:55.647
<v Speaker 2>Your words play a part in what you receive from God.

00:26:55.669 --> 00:26:56.090
<v Speaker 2>Now it's interesting.

00:26:56.090 --> 00:26:58.498
<v Speaker 2>How many years did the woman have the issue of blood?

00:26:58.498 --> 00:26:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Twelve.

00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:00.903
<v Speaker 2>How old was this girl?

00:27:00.903 --> 00:27:01.904
<v Speaker 2>Twelve?

00:27:01.904 --> 00:27:03.709
<v Speaker 2>How old is little Gracie this year?

00:27:03.709 --> 00:27:04.355
<v Speaker 2>Twelve, I believe.

00:27:04.355 --> 00:27:04.645
<v Speaker 2>That's why the Holy Spirit just kind of sparked that up in me.

00:27:04.645 --> 00:27:04.575
<v Speaker 2>How old is little Gracie this year?

00:27:04.575 --> 00:27:04.644
<v Speaker 2>12.

00:27:04.644 --> 00:27:08.997
<v Speaker 2>I believe that's why the Holy Spirit just kind of sparked that up in me.

00:27:09.037 --> 00:27:16.204
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the importance of that number in this, I'm not going to even try to tell you, but I find it interesting that 12 was that number.

00:27:16.204 --> 00:27:20.650
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you've had something for a long time, maybe it's been over 12 years, it doesn't matter.

00:27:20.650 --> 00:27:21.430
<v Speaker 2>Amen.

00:27:21.430 --> 00:27:24.215
<v Speaker 2>God is bigger, god is able.

00:27:24.215 --> 00:27:27.361
<v Speaker 2>He's just looking for you to say yes, lord, amen.

00:27:27.361 --> 00:27:29.585
<v Speaker 2>He's just looking for your yes, lord.

00:27:29.585 --> 00:27:32.529
<v Speaker 2>Praise God, amen.

00:27:32.529 --> 00:27:34.362
<v Speaker 2>Let me get over here.

00:27:34.362 --> 00:27:36.201
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go to one more passage.

00:27:36.201 --> 00:27:40.866
<v Speaker 2>I just need to see which one of these three that I've got that I want to go to.

00:27:40.866 --> 00:27:48.226
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to Matthew 15.

00:27:48.226 --> 00:27:52.806
<v Speaker 2>Matthew 15 and verse 21.

00:28:00.115 --> 00:28:05.167
<v Speaker 2>So, again, jesus, on the move, went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon.

00:28:05.167 --> 00:28:12.943
<v Speaker 2>And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to him saying have mercy on me, o Lord, son of David, my daughter is severely demon-possessed.

00:28:12.943 --> 00:28:14.541
<v Speaker 2>So this woman was not a Jew.

00:28:14.541 --> 00:28:21.984
<v Speaker 2>So in biblical times, if you were not a Jew, especially if you were a woman, you were thought of as a dog, as nothing.

00:28:21.984 --> 00:28:25.784
<v Speaker 2>But this woman's daughter needs healing, deliverance.

00:28:25.784 --> 00:28:27.559
<v Speaker 2>So what happens?

00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:32.057
<v Speaker 2>She's decided I'm going to get to where Jesus is.

00:28:32.077 --> 00:28:34.380
<v Speaker 2>Too many people waiting for Jesus come knocking on their door.

00:28:34.380 --> 00:28:36.383
<v Speaker 2>No, you go to where Jesus is.

00:28:36.383 --> 00:28:38.384
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to Louisiana this week.

00:28:38.384 --> 00:28:40.487
<v Speaker 2>I go there a few times a year, you know why?

00:28:40.487 --> 00:28:52.988
<v Speaker 2>Because I know that's where God has a word for me, and so I take the time and effort to get down there.

00:28:52.988 --> 00:28:53.529
<v Speaker 2>It's not easy, right?

00:28:53.529 --> 00:29:00.307
<v Speaker 2>I miss things, miss things with my family, miss things sometimes with church, but I know I need to get there to hear from God, to hear from my pastor.

00:29:00.307 --> 00:29:01.412
<v Speaker 2>So this woman cries out.

00:29:01.432 --> 00:29:01.992
<v Speaker 2>Now look at this.

00:29:01.992 --> 00:29:02.736
<v Speaker 2>What did Jesus do?

00:29:02.736 --> 00:29:04.278
<v Speaker 2>Ignored her.

00:29:04.278 --> 00:29:07.045
<v Speaker 2>He answered her, not a word.

00:29:07.045 --> 00:29:10.680
<v Speaker 2>His disciples came and argued him, saying send her away, for she cries out after us.

00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:12.125
<v Speaker 2>They're like she's annoying us.

00:29:12.125 --> 00:29:14.344
<v Speaker 2>How would you like to come to Jesus?

00:29:14.344 --> 00:29:14.906
<v Speaker 2>You need something.

00:29:14.906 --> 00:29:16.715
<v Speaker 2>You're like Jesus.

00:29:16.715 --> 00:29:19.422
<v Speaker 2>Jesus, I need something.

00:29:19.422 --> 00:29:21.246
<v Speaker 2>My daughter needs something.

00:29:21.246 --> 00:29:22.146
<v Speaker 2>He just ignores you.

00:29:22.146 --> 00:29:24.557
<v Speaker 2>You know what most people do Get offended.

00:29:24.557 --> 00:29:27.503
<v Speaker 2>You know what offense will get you Nothing.

00:29:27.503 --> 00:29:30.288
<v Speaker 2>What has offense ever got you in life?

00:29:30.288 --> 00:29:33.659
<v Speaker 2>Nothing.

00:29:33.659 --> 00:29:36.001
<v Speaker 2>I asked pastor to do this and he just kept walking.

00:29:36.001 --> 00:29:37.744
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's the same thing, right?

00:29:37.744 --> 00:29:41.829
<v Speaker 2>I probably won't do that, but Jesus did.

00:29:41.829 --> 00:29:43.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

00:29:43.719 --> 00:29:45.305
<v Speaker 2>Can I tell you why Jesus did?

00:29:45.305 --> 00:29:47.376
<v Speaker 2>He's trying to teach us something.

00:29:47.376 --> 00:29:50.644
<v Speaker 2>He knew this would be recorded, that we'd be talking about it in 2025.

00:29:50.644 --> 00:29:52.728
<v Speaker 2>So look at this.

00:29:52.728 --> 00:29:54.058
<v Speaker 2>She's again not Jewish.

00:29:54.760 --> 00:29:59.261
<v Speaker 2>Jesus answered and said I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

00:29:59.261 --> 00:30:00.182
<v Speaker 2>I was sent to the Jews.

00:30:00.182 --> 00:30:02.929
<v Speaker 2>What did she do?

00:30:02.929 --> 00:30:04.401
<v Speaker 2>So again he ignores her.

00:30:04.401 --> 00:30:06.281
<v Speaker 2>Then he says he wasn't sent for her.

00:30:06.281 --> 00:30:08.663
<v Speaker 2>She came and worshipped him.

00:30:08.663 --> 00:30:16.510
<v Speaker 2>Your worship will get you places that other stuff won't.

00:30:16.510 --> 00:30:19.137
<v Speaker 2>Your worship will get you into the presence of God.

00:30:19.137 --> 00:30:23.657
<v Speaker 2>How many people would want to worship a guy that just ignored them and then said he wasn't sent for them?

00:30:23.657 --> 00:30:24.500
<v Speaker 2>Not many.

00:30:24.500 --> 00:30:26.163
<v Speaker 2>What does worship do?

00:30:26.163 --> 00:30:26.904
<v Speaker 2>It humbles you.

00:30:26.904 --> 00:30:32.501
<v Speaker 2>It humbles you.

00:30:32.501 --> 00:30:33.904
<v Speaker 2>I believe she was at the same place.

00:30:33.924 --> 00:30:35.647
<v Speaker 2>The woman with the issue of blood was Jairus Rose.

00:30:35.647 --> 00:30:39.278
<v Speaker 2>There was no other help for her daughter.

00:30:39.278 --> 00:30:44.648
<v Speaker 2>She said it doesn't matter, I don't care if he ignores me, I don't care if he says he doesn't want to talk to me.

00:30:44.648 --> 00:30:46.696
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go worship him.

00:30:46.696 --> 00:30:47.881
<v Speaker 2>And she said Lord, help me.

00:30:47.881 --> 00:30:49.325
<v Speaker 2>Cried out in faith.

00:30:49.325 --> 00:30:50.977
<v Speaker 2>Jesus answered.

00:30:50.997 --> 00:30:51.559
<v Speaker 2>Now look at this.

00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:52.644
<v Speaker 2>You think it's bad?

00:30:52.644 --> 00:30:58.644
<v Speaker 2>Jesus looked and he says it's not good to take the children's bread and throw it to little dogs like you.

00:30:58.644 --> 00:31:02.781
<v Speaker 2>You think you'd be offended by that.

00:31:02.781 --> 00:31:05.622
<v Speaker 2>Jesus just called her a dog.

00:31:05.622 --> 00:31:14.164
<v Speaker 2>Brother Keith Moore, one of our instructors, rayme Pastors in Branson has another church in Florida.

00:31:14.164 --> 00:31:16.316
<v Speaker 2>I remember him teaching on this one time he goes.

00:31:16.355 --> 00:31:18.463
<v Speaker 2>You know what you say when Jesus calls you a dog.

00:31:18.463 --> 00:31:22.384
<v Speaker 2>You go rough, rough, bow.

00:31:22.384 --> 00:31:24.459
<v Speaker 2>Wow, jesus calls you a dog.

00:31:24.459 --> 00:31:27.220
<v Speaker 2>You say yes, sir, and that's what she said.

00:31:27.220 --> 00:31:29.742
<v Speaker 2>She said, yes, lord, I am a dog.

00:31:29.742 --> 00:31:34.143
<v Speaker 2>But even the little dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table.

00:31:34.143 --> 00:31:34.824
<v Speaker 2>What is that?

00:31:34.824 --> 00:31:39.959
<v Speaker 2>That's humility, it's not offense, it's not pride, it's not anything else.

00:31:39.959 --> 00:31:41.143
<v Speaker 2>Because what's that going to get you?

00:31:41.143 --> 00:31:41.785
<v Speaker 2>Nothing.

00:31:42.414 --> 00:31:44.257
<v Speaker 2>You come and you say Jesus, I need.

00:31:44.257 --> 00:31:46.199
<v Speaker 2>And Jesus says you know it's not meant for you.

00:31:46.199 --> 00:31:49.582
<v Speaker 2>She says it may not be meant, but even the dogs eat the crumbs.

00:31:49.582 --> 00:31:50.222
<v Speaker 2>What was she saying?

00:31:50.222 --> 00:31:56.689
<v Speaker 2>I believe the crumbs that fall off the master's table in heaven, the crumbs, are enough to heal my daughter, amen.

00:31:56.689 --> 00:31:59.231
<v Speaker 2>So many people think, boy, I need the good stuff.

00:31:59.231 --> 00:32:02.355
<v Speaker 2>No, you just need the crumbs.

00:32:02.355 --> 00:32:04.439
<v Speaker 2>You've been looking for the good stuff, you just need the crumbs, amen.

00:32:04.439 --> 00:32:05.781
<v Speaker 2>Verse 28,.

00:32:05.781 --> 00:32:11.460
<v Speaker 2>Jesus answered and said to her what'd he say oh woman, great is your faith.

00:32:11.460 --> 00:32:13.884
<v Speaker 2>Let it be to you as you desire.

00:32:13.884 --> 00:32:16.076
<v Speaker 2>Her daughter was healed from that very hour.

00:32:16.076 --> 00:32:18.381
<v Speaker 2>There's a lesson here.

00:32:18.381 --> 00:32:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Too many people come, they're seeking something from God and they don't get it the way they thought they were supposed to get it.

00:32:24.080 --> 00:32:27.557
<v Speaker 2>Well, I just I thought you know it's just like.

00:32:27.657 --> 00:32:30.522
<v Speaker 2>Remember Naaman in the Old Testament.

00:32:30.522 --> 00:32:33.227
<v Speaker 2>He was a great leader and he had leprosy.

00:32:33.227 --> 00:32:39.167
<v Speaker 2>And he goes to the prophet of God and he sends his servant up, gehazi.

00:32:39.167 --> 00:32:46.183
<v Speaker 2>Gehazi goes in and he says my master, who's very powerful and rich and well-known, needs healed.

00:32:46.183 --> 00:32:52.405
<v Speaker 2>And the prophet of God says tell your master to go dip in that dirty river seven times.

00:32:52.405 --> 00:33:00.744
<v Speaker 2>And his servant comes back and tells him and he says are you serious Paraphrasing?

00:33:00.744 --> 00:33:04.099
<v Speaker 2>Are you kidding me?

00:33:04.099 --> 00:33:06.303
<v Speaker 2>He said he's not even going to come out of his tent.

00:33:06.303 --> 00:33:08.663
<v Speaker 2>I thought he'd come out and wave his hands and do something.

00:33:08.663 --> 00:33:12.506
<v Speaker 2>He's not even coming out of his tent and he wants me to go dip in that dirty river.

00:33:12.506 --> 00:33:14.221
<v Speaker 2>At least he could have gave me a clean river.

00:33:14.221 --> 00:33:20.144
<v Speaker 2>He says, master, if he'd have told you to do some great thing, would you have done it?

00:33:20.144 --> 00:33:22.994
<v Speaker 2>Right?

00:33:22.994 --> 00:33:26.498
<v Speaker 2>We're looking for this and you just need to be looking for the crumbs.

00:33:26.498 --> 00:33:28.839
<v Speaker 2>So he goes, and what he had to do?

00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.082
<v Speaker 2>He had to humble himself dipping in that dirty river.

00:33:31.082 --> 00:33:34.885
<v Speaker 2>And the first time he went down, came up still had leprosy.

00:33:34.885 --> 00:33:42.152
<v Speaker 2>Second time, third time, fourth time, fifth time, sixth time how humble do you think you'd be on that fifth or sixth time?

00:33:42.152 --> 00:33:45.338
<v Speaker 2>You'd be like this is the.

00:33:45.338 --> 00:33:51.925
<v Speaker 2>But he was obedient, humbled himself Seven times, came up and the Bible says his skin was like that of a newborn baby.

00:33:55.195 --> 00:33:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Great is your faith.

00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:59.855
<v Speaker 2>Be it done to you as you believe, daughter.

00:33:59.855 --> 00:34:01.122
<v Speaker 2>Your faith has made you whole.

00:34:01.122 --> 00:34:02.901
<v Speaker 2>Don't be afraid, only believe.

00:34:02.901 --> 00:34:04.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you all these scriptures.

00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:05.422
<v Speaker 2>You put them all together.

00:34:05.462 --> 00:34:06.005
<v Speaker 2>What's it get to?

00:34:06.005 --> 00:34:11.755
<v Speaker 2>It gets to the point where you realize I either start believing that what the Bible says is true or I don't.

00:34:11.755 --> 00:34:16.905
<v Speaker 2>I either believe that by his stripes I'm healed or I don't.

00:34:16.905 --> 00:34:22.865
<v Speaker 2>And if I believe he's a healer, see the first thing you have to believe it's just like getting saved.

00:34:22.865 --> 00:34:27.483
<v Speaker 2>You've got to believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, that he rose again victorious.

00:34:27.483 --> 00:34:28.123
<v Speaker 2>See it the third day.

00:34:28.123 --> 00:34:30.568
<v Speaker 2>See it at the right hand of the Father in heavenly places.

00:34:30.568 --> 00:34:32.719
<v Speaker 2>You've got to believe he did it.

00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:34.463
<v Speaker 2>And then you've got to receive it by faith.

00:34:34.463 --> 00:34:39.005
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says right, it's believing in your heart, confessing with your mouth, you shall be saved.

00:34:39.005 --> 00:34:41.077
<v Speaker 2>Same thing with healing.

00:34:41.077 --> 00:34:44.186
<v Speaker 2>First thing you got to do is hear scriptures about healing.

00:34:44.186 --> 00:34:51.967
<v Speaker 2>Next thing you got to do is believe it's God's will for you to be healed, because some people believe it's God's will for some to be healed, but not everybody.

00:34:51.967 --> 00:34:54.416
<v Speaker 2>Right?

00:34:54.416 --> 00:35:00.688
<v Speaker 2>Again, it's literally like bingo numbers Sometimes you get healed, sometimes you don't.

00:35:01.858 --> 00:35:03.181
<v Speaker 2>No, your faith plays a part in it.

00:35:03.181 --> 00:35:05.447
<v Speaker 2>Your words play a part in it.

00:35:05.447 --> 00:35:08.721
<v Speaker 2>You're a prophet over your own life.

00:35:08.721 --> 00:35:10.518
<v Speaker 2>You say well, what does that mean?

00:35:10.518 --> 00:35:13.112
<v Speaker 2>Well, what did the woman with the issue of blood get?

00:35:13.112 --> 00:35:14.396
<v Speaker 2>Exactly what she said.

00:35:14.396 --> 00:35:16.018
<v Speaker 2>What did Jairus get?

00:35:16.018 --> 00:35:17.481
<v Speaker 2>Exactly what he said?

00:35:18.603 --> 00:35:21.028
<v Speaker 2>Amen, your words are important.

00:35:21.028 --> 00:35:24.864
<v Speaker 2>There are facts in your case, right, some of you.

00:35:24.864 --> 00:35:26.010
<v Speaker 2>I know the facts you're dealing with.

00:35:26.010 --> 00:35:29.365
<v Speaker 2>There are facts in your case, right, some of you.

00:35:29.365 --> 00:35:31.155
<v Speaker 2>I know the facts you're dealing with.

00:35:31.155 --> 00:35:38.577
<v Speaker 2>There are facts in your case, but the truth of the word always trumps the facts.

00:35:38.577 --> 00:35:39.199
<v Speaker 2>What were the facts?

00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:40.061
<v Speaker 2>Those guys were blind.

00:35:40.061 --> 00:35:41.706
<v Speaker 2>What was the truth of the word?

00:35:41.706 --> 00:35:45.998
<v Speaker 2>They could see God's looking for your.

00:35:45.998 --> 00:35:49.742
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sir, yes, sir, I believe it and I'm going to speak his word over my life.

00:35:49.742 --> 00:35:52.286
<v Speaker 2>Amen, I'm telling you.

00:35:52.286 --> 00:36:06.378
<v Speaker 2>I could pray for everyone in here today, I could lay hands on you, but ultimately the Holy Spirit told me he wanted to encourage you to start speaking some things and doing some things, because your faith is going to make a difference in your life.

00:36:06.378 --> 00:36:08.320
<v Speaker 2>But the thing is you've got to work it.

00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:10.862
<v Speaker 2>Pastor Mark, I'm going to close with this story.

00:36:11.824 --> 00:36:16.829
<v Speaker 2>Pastor Mark told a story and some of you of a certain age will know this, some of you that are younger, won't?

00:36:16.829 --> 00:36:28.431
<v Speaker 2>He said the first time he ever walked into an airport and they had the sinks that were motion activated, no handles on it.

00:36:28.431 --> 00:36:30.121
<v Speaker 2>Some people, younger people, that's just the way it is.

00:36:30.121 --> 00:36:33.190
<v Speaker 2>He said I walked in, I thought how am I supposed to turn on the water?

00:36:33.190 --> 00:36:38.585
<v Speaker 2>Right, there's a little sign that motion activates, like you put your hand in water, right.

00:36:38.585 --> 00:36:39.807
<v Speaker 2>How many did that the first time?

00:36:39.807 --> 00:36:43.181
<v Speaker 2>You're just like well, that's pretty cool motion activate.

00:36:43.181 --> 00:36:46.708
<v Speaker 2>I know it's the same way with your faith.

00:36:47.597 --> 00:36:52.722
<v Speaker 2>Some people are just waiting for God to turn on the faucet of deliverance, of healing, of whatever it is they need.

00:36:52.722 --> 00:36:59.543
<v Speaker 2>God says I'm waiting for you to activate something with your words, with your actions.

00:36:59.543 --> 00:37:01.447
<v Speaker 2>We talked a few weeks ago.

00:37:01.447 --> 00:37:03.780
<v Speaker 2>Faith without corresponding action is dead faith.

00:37:03.780 --> 00:37:05.545
<v Speaker 2>What will dead faith get you?

00:37:05.545 --> 00:37:09.543
<v Speaker 2>Same thing a dead horse will get you Nothing, nowhere.

00:37:09.543 --> 00:37:10.786
<v Speaker 2>Hook up a dead horse to your wagon.

00:37:10.786 --> 00:37:14.938
<v Speaker 2>Come on, let's go.

00:37:14.938 --> 00:37:16.481
<v Speaker 2>Nothing.

00:37:16.481 --> 00:37:18.527
<v Speaker 2>That's what dead faith will get you Nothing.

00:37:18.527 --> 00:37:20.998
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm going to start.

00:37:20.998 --> 00:37:25.902
<v Speaker 2>First thing I'm going to do is I'm going to hear the word of God, because that's how faith comes.

00:37:25.902 --> 00:37:35.585
<v Speaker 2>Then I'm going to hear it, then I'm going to act upon it, just like Jairus did, just like those two blind men did, just like the Canaanite woman did, just like the woman with the issue of blood did.

00:37:35.585 --> 00:37:37.072
<v Speaker 2>And what am I going to get?

00:37:37.072 --> 00:37:38.277
<v Speaker 2>Exactly what they did.

00:37:38.277 --> 00:37:42.847
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to receive what I believed and what I've spoken and act upon.

00:37:42.987 --> 00:37:50.936
<v Speaker 2>Amen, stir up your faith.

00:37:50.936 --> 00:37:51.298
<v Speaker 2>Paul told Timothy.

00:37:51.298 --> 00:37:52.001
<v Speaker 2>He said stir up, stir up your faith.

00:37:52.001 --> 00:37:52.485
<v Speaker 2>A message like today.

00:37:52.485 --> 00:37:53.208
<v Speaker 2>You know what it's meant to do.

00:37:53.208 --> 00:37:53.590
<v Speaker 2>Stir up your faith.

00:37:53.590 --> 00:37:55.735
<v Speaker 2>Quit just sitting around waiting, right?

00:37:55.735 --> 00:38:00.739
<v Speaker 2>Brother Hagin said it this way too many Christians waiting for the blessings of God to drop on their head like ripe cherries off a tree.

00:38:00.739 --> 00:38:02.822
<v Speaker 2>No, go get it.

00:38:02.822 --> 00:38:05.369
<v Speaker 2>You got to go get it.

00:38:05.369 --> 00:38:07.759
<v Speaker 2>I'll use Lucy as my last example.

00:38:09.643 --> 00:38:10.365
<v Speaker 2>I have three children.

00:38:10.365 --> 00:38:13.141
<v Speaker 2>I've coached basketball since before they were born.

00:38:13.141 --> 00:38:14.365
<v Speaker 2>I love basketball.

00:38:14.365 --> 00:38:17.657
<v Speaker 2>This is one thing I've told all three of my children.

00:38:17.657 --> 00:38:26.242
<v Speaker 2>I said look, there's going to come a time in a game there's going to be a jump ball, jump ball if you don't know basketball, it's a time when one person from one team has the ball, a person from the other team has the ball.

00:38:26.242 --> 00:38:32.327
<v Speaker 2>I told all three of my kids I said when there is a jump ball, you will be the one that hands the ball to the referee.

00:38:32.327 --> 00:38:35.331
<v Speaker 2>What's that mean?

00:38:35.331 --> 00:38:39.226
<v Speaker 2>You're going to fight for it until you're the one that hands the ball to the referee.

00:38:39.226 --> 00:38:41.159
<v Speaker 2>She's playing in a game.

00:38:41.159 --> 00:38:45.378
<v Speaker 2>A week or so ago, ref had to get on to her a little bit.

00:38:45.378 --> 00:38:46.541
<v Speaker 2>I blew the whistle.

00:38:46.541 --> 00:38:47.603
<v Speaker 2>She's still fighting.

00:38:47.603 --> 00:38:52.655
<v Speaker 2>Guess what Two times that happened.

00:38:52.655 --> 00:38:53.878
<v Speaker 2>She's the one that gave the ball to the referee each time.

00:38:53.878 --> 00:38:54.699
<v Speaker 2>Right, little sweet Lucy.

00:38:54.699 --> 00:38:56.324
<v Speaker 2>Right, you get it with Bo.

00:38:56.324 --> 00:38:58.367
<v Speaker 2>Right, he is big and mean and everything else.

00:38:58.367 --> 00:39:04.815
<v Speaker 2>Right, strong.

00:39:04.815 --> 00:39:06.237
<v Speaker 2>I tell him you're the one that's going to hand the ball to the referee.

00:39:06.257 --> 00:39:07.619
<v Speaker 2>I honestly, was thinking about this this morning.

00:39:07.619 --> 00:39:09.623
<v Speaker 2>I can't think of a time when they didn't.

00:39:09.623 --> 00:39:16.000
<v Speaker 2>There may be a time, right, when someone's able to wrestle it away, got a better grip on it or something.

00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:23.592
<v Speaker 2>But every time I tell kids I coach, we're the ones that hand the ball to the referee, and other teams don't like it.

00:39:23.592 --> 00:39:26.940
<v Speaker 2>I don't really care what they like.

00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:36.306
<v Speaker 2>The devil's not going to like it when you keep fighting for the ball, when you're like no, this is what God said and I'm the one going to hand this to Jesus.

00:39:36.306 --> 00:39:38.840
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to take my blessing.

00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:39.983
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to take my healing.

00:39:39.983 --> 00:39:41.797
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to take my deliverance.

00:39:41.797 --> 00:39:42.980
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to take it.

00:39:42.980 --> 00:39:45.364
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says the violent take it by force.

00:39:45.364 --> 00:39:49.416
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says there is a good fight of faith.

00:39:49.416 --> 00:39:54.827
<v Speaker 2>Some of y'all need to get your fighting clothes on.

00:39:54.827 --> 00:40:01.826
<v Speaker 2>The devil's not just going to roll over and let you have your healing, let you have your deliverance, let you have your blessing.

00:40:01.826 --> 00:40:03.878
<v Speaker 2>He's not going to go well.

00:40:03.878 --> 00:40:04.460
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you guys just take it.

00:40:04.460 --> 00:40:05.668
<v Speaker 2>You're going to have to fight for it.

00:40:05.668 --> 00:40:06.391
<v Speaker 2>He's not going to go well.

00:40:06.391 --> 00:40:07.034
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you guys just take it.

00:40:09.217 --> 00:40:12.239
