I think I 58 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:41.319 handled all of the red tape and opening information. Here 59 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.080 we're diving right in to the Book of Matthew. We 60 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:49.400 and Matthew chapter nine again, still doing the expository journey 61 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.800 through the Book of Matthew, checking out the life of 62 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:59.240 Jesus because he is the model He is the prototype. 63 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.280 He is what we should be modeling our lives after. 64 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.439 So here we are in Matthew chapter nine, and I 65 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:11.759 think we are going to start today at verse eighteen 66 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:24.480 is where I left off, jumping right hand. Matthew chapter nine, 67 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:31.279 verse eighteen. As Jesus was speaking, the leader of a 68 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:36.639 synagogue came and knelt before him. The leader of a synagogue, 69 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:42.199 leader of a college, a faith based college, a church 70 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.399 where they do a lot of teaching, however you want 71 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:48.920 to picture it, this is his leader came and kneelt 72 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:53.279 before him, showing reverence, respect. This is the part that 73 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:57.279 I love about Jesus is that during this time his 74 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:01.879 renown grew so much, and there were people coming to 75 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.839 give him shout outs, give him respect and this kind 76 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:10.439 of thing. And it was on some real deal stuff 77 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:16.879 as far as how his renown grew, like his renown 78 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.720 grew because he was doing things to transform people's lives 79 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:25.920 for the better. You know, when you see nowadays people's 80 00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:32.519 platforms growing, sometimes people's platforms grow as ours have been growing, 81 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:34.439 just because you know, just on a regular basis, I've 82 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.279 been getting the shorts out and doing little short snippets 83 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.639 of a sermon sixty second clips getting those out and 84 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.240 people are saying, hey, when people subscribe to your channel, 85 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.079 they saying, hey, I like what you're doing, like for real, 86 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.040 for real, you go online or whatever platform you use 87 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.759 for socials, you don't just subscribe to any and everything, 88 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:56.519 you see why because when you subscribe to something, they're 89 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:58.800 gonna the algorithm is gonna send you more of that. 90 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:02.920 And if you're like me, you don't want a whole 91 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.879 bunch of any and everything popping up on your phone 92 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:07.920 because you know, you just got to limit the amount of 93 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.120 time you want to receive the things that you enjoy. 94 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.240 And the more you watch what you watch, the more 95 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:19.920 the algorithm sends to you things like that. But you 96 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:26.079 know some people, you know you can purchase subscribers. You 97 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.279 know that, right, did you know that? You didn't know 98 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.959 you can purchase subscribers. You can purchase followers, subscribers. You 99 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.600 sure can. If you got the money, they got the honey. 100 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.199 Some people just want to look big. Some people just 101 00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:41.560 want to look more popular, right, They want to have 102 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.959 more views. You can you can put bots in there 103

00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.279 to make comments, like. You can do a lot of 104 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.399 stuff to get a bigger reputation. A bigger following and 105 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:53.759 those kinds of things, if that's what you after. But 106 00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:02.000 just understand followers is not the most importing. The most 107 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.439 important thing is that you are a follower of Jesus 108 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.199 and that your work and your reputation in the lives 109 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:14.040 of other people precedes you. That's what I hope is happening. 110 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.439 When people subscribe to this channel, they're saying, Hey, I'm 111 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.759 getting something good out of this. I'm seeing people's lives 112 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.399 be blessed, and I'm seeing my life be blessed. So 113 00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:26.920 I'm hoping to grow in that way. That's good renown. 114 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.279 And so here's Jesus. His renown is growing. Man. People 115 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.399 are coming from all over the place. This man's a 116 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:37.639 teacher in the synagogue. He has status already, they know 117 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:44.319 about him. And here he comes. In verse eighteen, he says, 118 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:51.959 my daughter has just died, but you can bring her 119 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.959 back to life again if you just lay your hand 120 00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:02.360 on her. How do you think he coming coming up 121 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.959 to Jesus and making these bold statements. How do you 122 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:10.199 think that's happening. We know why that's happening, right. See, 123 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:13.879 he's declaring what Jesus can do based on what he 124 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.079 has seen and or heard that Jesus did for somebody else, 125 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.720 what to God that my renown would grow where to 126 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:28.519 the point where, Yeah, I got a phone call. It says, hey, man, 127 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.360 I talked to so and so. He said, you've been 128 00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.759 mentoring him for a little while, and you really are 129 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:37.320 a tremendous help to him. I want to know if 130 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.120 you could help me, or I want to know if 131 00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:45.440 you could help my son or my daughter, that would 132 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:49.080 be a blessing. That means that the things that you've 133 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.279 done in somebody else's life word is getting out. People 134 00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:56.519 are telling other people about it, and they're saying, hey, 135 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:01.519 if y'all want this, you better go here. So somebody 136 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:04.720 told him and this dude brings people back to life man, 137 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:09.320

or either he saw it for himself. This dude brings 138 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.360 people back to life, like just by laying hands on 139 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.120 them because he's telling Jesus what he needs to do. No, 140 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:22.320 that brings his daughter. That's faith. And here in these 141 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.519 next couple of verses you begin to see that Jesus, 142 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.000 and it's different. There are some people where Jesus just 143 00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:35.039 laid hands on them and they recovered. And there are 144 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:38.720 other times where Jesus asked, what do you want done? 145 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:47.639 And many theologians believe that these are places where Jesus's 146 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:54.559 power to heal people was one element, but in some situations, 147 00:09:55.279 --> 00:10:00.519 another element that was required was their faith about what 148 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:04.399 he could do. And these are some powerful things, the 149 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.399 things we can study and just some of the things 150 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.320 are just there for you to take a look at 151 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:10.399 and just grab a hold of it and just say, well, 152 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:12.759 there it is. I can't really explain why did he 153 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.320 ask one person? Why did he not act another person. 154 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.639 You've got some theories and you reach a lot of 155 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.720 the commentaries to get some ideas behind these things. But 156 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.639 this is Jesus, and sometimes he required folks's faith to 157 00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.720 go up and go to work. But here's this guy, 158 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.279 this dude already stepping up with faith. He said, listen, 159 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.200 I already know who you are. Remember the centurion not 160 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.080 long ago. He said, hey, listen, you're a man who 161 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.639 has authority, just like I do. My daughter needs to 162 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:42.639 be healed. All you got to do is speak the word, 163 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:45.279 he says, because I'm a man who's an authority, and 164 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.919 when I give a command, they do it. And he says, 165 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:53.240 you're that same way, faith man, And this dude's showing up. 166 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:55.000 He says, my daughter's just died, but you can bring 167 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.960 her back again if you just come and lay your 168 00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:04.159 hand on her. Man. So Jesus and his disciples got 169 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:09.320 up and went with him. Man, I love how your 170 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:16.879 faith can just activate the supernatural. When you are putting 171 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:22.080 up a godly request, God is going to meet that 172 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:25.840 neat That's why Jesus taught you how to pray, taught 173 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:27.759 your things to pray and what to pray for and 174 00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:29.480 what not to pray, and how to pray and how 175 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:32.799 not to pray, because he knows that there are conditions 176 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:39.080 on God showing up in your life. Good man, listen, 177 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:48.159 it's a good thing. We don't get everything we prayed for. Oh, 178 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.159 yes it is. It's a good thing. We don't get 179 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:56.480 everything we pray for. Who's that TV show personality that 180 00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:02.799 you prayed would be your wife or your husband? Woo 181 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.399 you saw that look in your eye. Ooh, you have 182 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:08.320 some plans if I ever meet that person I wanted 183 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:14.799 to be m A few weeks later, that person you 184 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:22.559 just mentioned caught with child pornography. Whoops. Sorry, man, we 185 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.879 just don't know what God knows. That's why we need 186 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:26.679 to pray the way he tells us to pray. And 187 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.559 so Jesus and his disciples got up and went with him. 188 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.080 Just then, when he was on his way, a woman 189 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.879 who had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding, came 190 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:42.399 up behind him. She touched the fringe of his robe, 191 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:46.879 for she thought in her mind, if I can just 192 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:52.919 touch his robe, I will be healed. Now he's going 193 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.960 on to heal somebody else, and this woman is walking 194 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.200 up behind him, and she ain't saying nothing. She's just 195 00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:01.960 walking up and grabbing the hem of his garment, as 196 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:07.200 it's written in other translations. And what this is is 197 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:12.919 no tradition that said that the priest he had these 198 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:18.279 tassels on the end of his clothing and sometimes around 199 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:21.320 the hymn of the clothing, and those little tassels, and 200 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:25.200 back day, back in the day, the tradition was, and 201 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:31.039 the history was the priests were so endowed with God's 202 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:33.799 power that you could just grab a hold of the 203 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:41.919 hymns of their garment and there was healing there. And 204 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.919 so this woman obviously knows the history Jewish history, and 205 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:50.000 the promises from Abraham and the priestly descendants and all 206 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:53.240 those kinds of things, and so she's saying,

this dude 207 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:58.159 is the high priest. She's activating her faith without even 208 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:02.440 asking anybody. And so she walks up to Jesus and 209 00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.360 touches the hem of his garment, and watch what happens 210 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:11.320 next verse twenty two. Jesus turned around and when he 211 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:16.840 saw her, he said, daughter, be encouraged. Your faith has 212 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:24.679 made you well. And the woman was healed at that moment. 213 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.799 Did y'all see that? I hope you saw that her 214 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:36.360 faith made her well from something that she had been 215 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:43.279 struggling for for how long did it? Say? Ooh, ooh, listen, man, listen. 216 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.960 Sometimes you go through a thing and it does not 217 00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:53.960 end or go away immediately. He said she'd suffered for 218 00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:59.159 twelve years with constant bleeding, and another translation or I'm sorry, 219 00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:01.240 another account of and I think it's in Mark. He says, 220 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:04.399 she spent all her living, she spent all her money. 221 00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.919 She done tapped out her full O one k. She 222 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:12.919 thene tapped out her HSA, and she done tapped out 223 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.799 all the people that she can borrow from and say hey, 224 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.159 can I give a couple of dollars? She didne tapped 225 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:24.559 out everything, spent all her money, but then she heard 226 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:32.600 about what Jesus had done for others and she believed him. 227 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:37.039 This is the activation of someone's faith where somebody says, hey, listen, 228 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:45.919 i'n't heard about what's going on. I am going with 229 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:47.799 the God that I would have to kind of impact 230 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.879 in people's lives that when I walk up to someone 231 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:54.879 like Jesus walked up to someone and said, hey, follow 232 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:59.399 me and be my disciple, and the dude just dropped. 233 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:04.360 Everything started following him. Man would to God that I'd 234 00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:09.120 have so much going on in my life for God, 235 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:12.799 so much supernatural work showing up in my life where 236 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:18.039 people come to me when they've exhausted all of their 237 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:21.440 other resources. They come to me, or they come to 238 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:26.840 the church or our ministry and they say, hey, I've 239 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.679 heard that this is where I can be healed. I've 240 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.759 tried everything else I could before, but because of the

241 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:39.399 reputation proceeding from this ministry and from this space, I'm 242 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:44.200 here to get my healing. Jesus says, your faith has 243 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:46.799 made you whole. He didn't lay hands on her. We 244 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:49.200 just showed you him laying hands on other people where 245 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.720 he's actually getting ready to go lay hands on somebody 246 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:54.799 and raise a daughter from the dead. And this is 247 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:58.120 not laying on of hands. See, it was her knowledge 248 00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:01.440 of history and her studying, her belief that this dude 249 00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:07.759 is one of them, he's like them. Yeah, he says, 250 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.599 your faith has made you well. Sometimes the thing that 251 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:14.200 you're going through, y'all, you just got to activate your faith. 252 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.079 And no matter how long you go through it, sometimes 253 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:24.119 you just gotta keep on moving forward. And I know 254 00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:28.559 it's hard. It's hard. Sometimes sometimes you want to give up, 255 00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:30.480 and you want to quit, and you want to go 256 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:32.240 do something else. But I would say to you, go 257 00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:36.559 and give up and do what? Give up to? What 258 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.960 If you're a follower of Jesus Christ, as this lady 259 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:48.160 was at least knowledgeable in the history of the priestly authority, 260 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:54.519 she knew at least that much like, if you believe 261 00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:58.440 in this thing that we preach, this gospel, the greatest 262 00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:01.160 story ever told, what is there to give up to? 263 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:07.039 How much suffering will you go through before you quit? 264 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.200 Before you give up? This is the idea about being 265 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:16.119 fully persuaded that no matter how much trouble you go through, 266 00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:19.680 no matter how long you go through it, there's just 267 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:23.599 a part of you that says, n I ain't going nowhere. 268 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:30.519 This is what I believe in, and if the trials 269 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:38.400 come and stay, then my faith will not waver because 270 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:46.160 my faith is planted and built upon a rock. And 271 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:50.519 so here she is. She's saying, doesn't matter what I've 272 00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:55.279 been through. For twelve years. I heard about this man, 273 00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:00.880 and I believe his word is true. I believe in 274 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:06.559 who he is would be the God that I'd be 275 00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:09.640 able to endure temptation, that way, be

able to endure 276 00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:13.160 trials and hard times. That way would be the God 277 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:18.160 that I wouldn't faint when things get hard and when 278 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:25.440 things stay hard. Man, you'll find out who your real 279 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:31.240 friends are during hard times, and especially if hard times endure, 280 00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:35.359 Oh well, you will really find out who your family 281 00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:39.720 is and how much they love you when hard times 282 00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:46.519 not just come, but when hard times stay twelve years. 283 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.000 Think about the thing that you're struggling with right now. 284 00:19:53.000 --> 00:20:00.279 How long have you been struggling with that thing twelve days. 285 00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:08.960 Some of us have a hard time enduring unloving people 286 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:15.279 for twelve minutes. Bro. Sometimes we'll go off on people 287 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:23.119 just twelve seconds are saying the wrong thing, twelve seconds 288 00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:28.599 of doing something to me that I didn't like. Man, 289 00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:31.359 it might be hell to pay for some of them, 290 00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:34.079 But what to God that we as believers would be 291 00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:40.279 able to say, when trials come, I'm going to love him. 292 00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:46.759 When trials stay and endure, I'm going to love him 293 00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:51.839 with the rest of my life. So here she is, 294 00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:57.839 Today is her day. He said, your faith has made 295 00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:00.960 you well, and the woman was heeled at that moment. 296 00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:05.319 Verse twenty three. And when Jesus arrived at the officials home, 297 00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:12.720 he saw the noisy crowd, heard the funeral music. Jesus 298 00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:16.920 arrived at the officials home, he saw the noisy crowd 299 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:27.880 and heard the funeral music. Get out, Jesus just busts 300 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:31.720 up into place. He just bust up into place and 301 00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:35.920 just show up and just start flexing authority on people. Hey, uh, 302 00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:41.640 get out. Can you imagine rolling up to somebody else's 303 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:47.000 house and telling everybody get out, get stuff stepping. That's 304 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:52.240 somebody who is authority. Remember a couple of verses back 305 00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:54.599 when they said that just d is different. Somebody's teaching. 306 00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:57.880 He's teaching as if he is the authority. Remember all 307 00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:00.400 that stuff he was saying. But I say, talking about 308 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:02.839 the scriptures like who is you? Why why is he saying? 309 00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:06.359 But I say, it's like now he bustled up in 310 00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:13.759 people's crib telling everybody to get out. That is some 311 00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:17.160 boldness right there. He says. It's music and his crowd 312 00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:18.880 and it's the funeral. He says, get out. He told 313 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.000 him the girl isn't dead, she's only asleep. But the 314 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:30.519 crowd laughed at him. Man, the crowd laughed at him. 315 00:22:31.079 --> 00:22:34.440 That is crazy. Now, this is a crowd. So it 316 00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:36.920 just wasn't one just one person laughing in the corner. 317 00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:39.400 When he told him to get out, and he said, hey, listen, 318 00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:41.839 y'all upset and you have this frieneral going on. You 319 00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:43.240 got it, and you're about to have a funeral for 320 00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:46.240 somebody that ain't dead. They laughed at him. You know 321 00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:48.799 why because they was looking at what they saw, and 322 00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:51.359 I'm sure with all of them looking at her, they 323 00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:53.680 looked she she had to look like she was dead, 324 00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:56.839 and she had to actually probably be dead. And I 325 00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:01.200 think probably if you dig into the translation, he's saying, 326 00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:05.920 she won't stay dead, I think because likely she actually 327 00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:09.200 was dead. This is the miracle that Jesus is doing. 328 00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:17.759 But man, people was having a funeral. But when Jesus 329 00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:22.839 shows up, everything changes. Y'all. Know, we preach this gospel 330 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:27.160 because we believe it's true. We don't preach this gospel 331 00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:30.039 because it's been around for a long time. We don't 332 00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:32.440 preach this gospel based on some evidence or all this 333 00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:35.039 kind of stuff we've gathered together. There's a lot of evidence, 334 00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:37.920 and you can gather it together. But when you've experienced 335 00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:41.119 Jesus Christ in a real way and he's transformed your life, 336 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:48.039 you look at these scriptures differently and you live a 337 00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:51.279 different way because you believe Jesus is real and he's 338 00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:57.720 true and he's alive. That's what changes your life. And 339 00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:02.480 so here he is walking around in his authority. When 340 00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:04.680 he busted up in somebody's place and said, hey, listen, 341 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:09.319 get out, she's not dead, she's only sleep. But they 342 00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:19.400 laughed at him. They didn't believe. And it's okay, you know, 343 00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:21.680 it's okay for people to not believe

what you believe. 344 00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:26.160 Sometimes you just gotta put them out. Sometimes you just 345 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.680 gotta get distance yourself from them. He put them out. Look, 346 00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:36.839 after the crowd was put outside, Jesus went in, hold on, 347 00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:40.440 let's stop right there. Jesus not only told them to 348 00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:44.599 get out, did you shu? I hope you didn't miss 349 00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:52.680 that part right there. It said Jesus went in. He 350 00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:54.440 told me to get out first, I mean he was in, 351 00:24:57.240 --> 00:24:59.640 and then he went in, went in twice. I mean 352 00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:03.960 he went out. So he escorted them people out of there. Man, 353 00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:08.240 I wonder what that looked like. Man, everybody you know 354 00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:12.039 too many people picture Jesus. It's this whole, whole, holy guy. 355 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:16.200 She saw all meek and humbled and Thitherso whether thou 356 00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:21.079 witherest and whist the whether thou'll go with man, please, 357 00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:24.640 Jesus is certainly the lamb of God. But just understand 358 00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:28.119 he is also the lion of the tribe of Judah, 359 00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:33.480 lying enough to put folks out on the street, and 360 00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:36.759 then he goes back in. Play with it, if you 361 00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:42.680 want to fool around and find out. They found out 362 00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:47.319 this is he went back in and took the girl 363 00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:52.400 by the hand, and she stood up. Man, that's some 364 00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:54.480 serious laying on his hands right here. He just grab 365 00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:58.960 her hand. There's another account, and I think Mark's account 366 00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:02.400 and I think John's account as well. They write the 367 00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:06.839 words that Jesus said to her. But this whole doctrine 368 00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:09.160 of the laying on of hands is something that is 369 00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:11.319 a part of our faith because of this right here, 370 00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:14.079 what you see. You know, when we pray for people 371 00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:16.920 and they're going through something, we lay hands on them 372 00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:21.400 and our faith gets activated with the faith of the 373 00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:24.960 person who is being laid hands on, and then God 374 00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:29.480 shows up and does a miracle when he wants to, 375 00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:37.039 when he chooses to. That's just how it is nowadays. 376 00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:41.240 You can have faith and just sometimes God doesn't do 377 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.440 the miracle and it's okay because you know what, God 378 00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:52.240 is still good. Amen and amen. Sometimes we don't know 379 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:58.559 why on this thing. I think God heals enough people nowadays. 380 00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:00.640 He does enough miracles to let let us know that 381 00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:07.079 he still can do miracles. And I think he also 382 00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:12.400 doesn't do enough some miracles. I think he also doesn't 383 00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:17.480 do some miracles to let us know that we can't. 384 00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:23.440 Like you can't pray hard enough to make God do something. 385 00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:27.160 You can't grab a hold of enough hands right and 386 00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:32.200 pour enough olive oil on somebody or have enough faith. Yes, 387 00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:34.519 faith is required for your healing, as we see here 388 00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:37.480 in the scriptures. But just understand that God is sovereign 389 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:39.519 and we just got to be willing to say it. 390 00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:42.119 Sometimes God just chooses not to do it. I don't 391 00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:45.039 know why you lost your child. I don't know why 392 00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.359 you lost your mother. I don't know why.

Those are the kind of people 432 00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:27.440 that I want following to me man as I follow Christ. 433 00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:29.880 I want people who are willing to do whatever it 434 00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:32.839 takes to get what they need.

You talking about the 479 00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:17.160 power of a team right there, Bro, They speaking for 480 00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:23.000 themselves and speaking for each other, all at the same time. Man, 481 00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:27.240 folks in his own room, everybody in cyber sanctuary. Man, 482 00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:32.759 sometimes you need a team. That's a beauty of family. 483 00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:35.359 This is just sometime that's a beauty of family, just 484 00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:37.880 being able to have somebody around you that's supposed to 485 00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:40.359 be close to you, possibly going through the same thing 486 00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:43.119 that you're going through, got some of the same struggles 487 00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:46.119 that you have, and seeking the same thing that you're seeking. 488 00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:53.559 Then they saying, Yep, we on one accord, We got 489 00:33:53.559 --> 00:34:00.920 the same mission, and we speaking for each other's faith, y'all. 490 00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:04.440 And I love this idea these bro, these brothers is 491 00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.720 possed up. Not only are people helping them get into 492 00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:10.280 the house, they both busting up in somebody's house. And 493 00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:13.000 I don't necessarily know the person, but they speaking together 494 00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:26.760 on one accord. It's powerful team mm hm Verse twenty nine. 495 00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:33.760 After he heard their response, then he touched their eyes 496 00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:37.800 and said, because of your faith, it will happen. Then 497 00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:46.679 their eyes were open and they could see man because 498 00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:53.840 of your faith. Now there's a lot here to study 499 00:34:54.960 --> 00:35:01.679 and to dig into with these because of your faith scenarios, 500 00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:05.719 and I really encourage you to do that. Just give 501 00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:10.239 with some of the commentaries. Matthew Henry's concise commentary is 502 00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:13.639 a good one that you can study, and he gives 503 00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:19.800 you the history on this whole idea about faith being 504 00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:26.360 mixed with speaking the word and also God's power showing up. 505 00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:29.760 There's a dynamic there that's very important and you'll grow 506 00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:33.639 in knowledge and strength if you study these things. I 507 00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:36.440 won't go into it today for the sake of the podcast, 508 00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:41.719 but Matthew Henry's commentary is a very good one to read. 509 00:35:41.800 --> 00:35:47.280 It's one of my favorites. But this is an obvious 510 00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:51.960 thing where Jesus is making this distinction because some people 511 00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:55.000 he just laid hands on and they were healed. Some 512 00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:58.840 miracles were just at his command. And then now you 513 00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:01.199 see this thing showing up where he's saying, do you 514 00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:05.679 believe your faith woman, with the issue of blood for 515 00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:09.840 twelve years, your faith has

made you whole. Blind folks 516 00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:14.639 busting up in the crib, all possed up, speaking on 517 00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:18.199 one accord, for each other and with each other. He's saying, 518 00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:24.960 because of your faith, it will happen. Verse thirty. Then 519 00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:28.679 their eyes were open and they could see. Jesus sternly 520 00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:33.199 warned them, Hey, don't tell anybody about this. But instead 521 00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:36.639 they went out and spread his fame all over the region. 522 00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:40.920 He said, little listen, hey, y y'all, keep this on 523 00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:45.880 the DL all right, y'all sh and what they do 524 00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:52.840 They did exactly the opposite, and went around man GRAPEVINEO 525 00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:57.320 bet you wondering how knude these blind folks Man dadd 526 00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:00.000 had Now they can see man only thing they could 527 00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:05.840 and seized the grape vine. M. I don't really know 528 00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:08.360 what's behind that. I don't really know why. He told 529 00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:13.639 them to not say anything, don't tell anybody. But here's 530 00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:21.880 what I do know. I do know mankind, and I 531 00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:24.920 do know that Jesus knew their hearts. The right is 532 00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:28.559 Jesus knowing their thoughts, he said this, and Jesus knowing 533 00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:31.480 their intentions. He said that or did that right, So 534 00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:36.519 it's possible a little reverse psychology going on. Man, that's 535 00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:41.800 how we are sometimes. I've been like that before. Man. 536 00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:44.519 I started playing football because somebody told me I couldn't. 537 00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:50.519 I was too small, I was a scrub boy. I went, 538 00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:53.480 just like you, if you don't want me to do something, 539 00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:57.639 tell me I can do it. But if you if 540 00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:01.039 you tell me I can't do it, it's over. I 541 00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:05.960 started playing tennis, man, just on some pride stuff. Somebody 542 00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:07.280 told me that I know, now that I know I 543 00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:12.079 can beat you, we can play anytime. And from that 544 00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:14.280 moment on, and he did beat me that first time 545 00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:16.760 because he was a tennis player and I wasn't, and 546 00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:19.039 I was just getting started. He had trophies played in 547 00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:21.320 college and stuff. Said, oh yeah, we can play anytime 548 00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:27.519 now that I know I can beat you. Man, that 549 00:38:27.679 --> 00:38:30.559 was reverse psychology to me. I made up my mind 550 00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:32.639 that day that day right there. Watch my finger point 551 00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:34.760 to it. That day. Yep, that day right there, that 552 00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:36.440 was the day I said I'm gonna beat him before 553 00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:39.440 it's before before helving the earth pass away, I'm gonna 554 00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:47.360 beat him. And I did it. And I did something, man, 555 00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:49.800 he says don't tell nobody. And you know what they did. 556 00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:54.320 They told everybody, he says, But instead they went out 557 00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:58.920 and spread his fame all over the region. And just 558 00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:05.400 how we are, man, Joshua in the house, Joshua coming 559 00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:07.840 to hear the word of God. You coming to hear 560 00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:11.119 the word Joshua. Yah? All right, Well that's going on 561 00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:15.719 in verse thirty two. Then when they left, the demon 562 00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:19.559 possessed man who couldn't speak, was brought to Jesus. Oh 563 00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:24.320 my goodness, y'all. Are y'all seeing this. Folks are going through. 564 00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:34.960 Folks got problems, man, they got stuff going on, and 565 00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:39.760 it's possible that you know, you might be their answer. 566 00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:48.119 That's why this is powerful living outreach ministries. We show 567 00:39:48.199 --> 00:39:51.320 and teach and instruct and give you ways that you 568 00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:55.760 can actually go out and be the Gospel to people. 569 00:39:56.360 --> 00:40:02.239 Because people are struggling. They need help. Demon possessed man 570 00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:04.880 who couldn't speak was brought to Jesus. So Jesus cast 571 00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:07.440 out the demon. Just that simple.

Amen. 603 00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:14.079 So Jesus cast a demon out and men began to speak, 604 00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:18.239 and the crowds were amazed, and they said, listen to this. 605 00:42:18.559 --> 00:42:22.480 Nothing like this has ever happened and Israel, they exclaimed. 606 00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:29.599 So these people, a lot of them have needs that 607 00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:34.679 they that they hope to get fulfilled. But just understand, 608 00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:38.199 there's a whole lot of people as well as just following. 609 00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:43.960 They just want to see something. They can't believe their eyes. 610 00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:45.960 Look look at what they're saying. They said, this kind 611 00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:48.679 of stuff has never happened before. They was talking about this. 612 00:42:48.719 --> 00:42:51.519 Dude is teaching in a way where like he's setting 613 00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:55.639 himself up as the authority. He's teaching with authority just 614 00:42:55.800 --> 00:43:00.199 unlike anything that we've ever heard before. And now, oh, 615 00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:03.519 what is he doing? What just happened? That dude been 616 00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:06.840 demon possessed on the street of chasing people

and acting 617 00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:09.719 crazy and doing all kind of weird demonic stuff all 618 00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:18.880 these years, and Jesus just comes up and heals the dude, 619 00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:24.800 nothing like this has ever happened. Would be the god 620 00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:29.079 that people will say that about you some kind of 621 00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:33.039 ministry and did their life where somebody be able to say, 622 00:43:33.519 --> 00:43:38.519 nobody's ever done this before, not for me Verse thirty four. 623 00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:41.360 The Pharisee said he can cast all demons because he's 624 00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:51.559 empowered by the Prince of demons. Really, bro, really see, 625 00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:55.599 it has always got to be a naysayer. This is 626 00:43:55.639 --> 00:43:58.559 just who we are. You just you can't put something 627 00:43:58.599 --> 00:44:01.320 good that happened to you online. Man, It's just always 628 00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:03.000 got to be a trick. We call them trolls. There's 629 00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:05.639 just always got to be a troll, a nay sayer. 630 00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:08.239 Somebody always got to be you doing something great. They 631 00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:13.440 got to find something less great about it. Folks just 632 00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:18.559 can't let you be great. You know what, it is 633 00:44:18.639 --> 00:44:20.480 most of the time because they don't think they're great. 634 00:44:20.960 --> 00:44:25.519 Envying jealousy is real. They got something to say about 635 00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:28.039 you doing well because it makes them feel better about 636 00:44:28.039 --> 00:44:32.880 themselves not doing so well. That's why you gotta be 637 00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:34.719 careful about the people that you keep in your circle. 638 00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:39.199 And that's why it's best to you. Don't tell everybody 639 00:44:39.199 --> 00:44:40.800 about the good stuff that you got going on in 640 00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:43.159 your life, because some people can't handle it without hating 641 00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:51.440 on it. Some people just can't handle it. And here 642 00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:54.880 they are. They're accusing Jesus of being incohoots with the enemy. 643 00:44:55.280 --> 00:45:00.480 They're accusing us of being a stage play. They're not 644 00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:05.960 saying that he is getting the power to cast out 645 00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:09.599 a demon from Satanists. Deeper than that, that too, but 646 00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:11.440 it is deeper than that what they're accusing him of. 647 00:45:11.960 --> 00:45:16.000 They're accusing this of being fake, like you are with 648 00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:22.559 the enemy. Whatever that dude is possessed with, you're possessed 649 00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:27.400 with the same thing, and your goal is to fool 650 00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:31.400 people to gather crowds to you. You're doing all

kind 651 00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:35.119 of lying wonders so you can gather this crowd. Because 652 00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:37.639 they're already putting this thing out saying he thinks he's 653 00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:40.119 the prince, the prince of the Jews, which is why 654 00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:43.719 they crucified him for insurrection. And this is here. They 655 00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:46.280 are just the haters among you. Every time you do great, 656 00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:49.920 there's always gonna be haters following you, somebody following just 657 00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:53.119 to see what you're doing, just so they can trash 658 00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:59.800 talk it. Man, people don't know how to be happy 659 00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:03.280 for you. Sometime when you got good things going on, 660 00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:09.840 they're accusing him of being in cahoots with the demon 661 00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:14.679 that he just cast out. Man, it ain't real. That's fake. 662 00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:23.000 You bust up there with your new purse and you 663 00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:26.360 ain't bothering nobody. You just got your new purse. Whatever 664 00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:28.920 big name, fancy name person it is. You got that there. 665 00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:30.559 You ain't bother nobody to say it out. You just 666 00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:32.599 bought yourself a new purse. It's something you've been saving 667 00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:34.719 though for for a long time. You sat on the 668 00:46:34.760 --> 00:46:37.320 play and oh that's so beautiful. Another one comes, Oh 669 00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:39.840 hey girl, I'm so glad you got that. I'm happy 670 00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:41.800 for you. Another one come and look at it from 671 00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:52.400 a distance. It's fake. You. You roll up in there 672 00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:54.760 with your new car, man, and God bless you and 673 00:46:54.800 --> 00:46:57.760 you saved and worked on your credit score and just 674 00:46:57.880 --> 00:46:59.719 did this thing. And now you're busting up there with 675 00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:02.639 your new and a bunch of people congratulating you and 676 00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:08.719 genuinely happy for you. And as somebody else, he's gonna 677 00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:14.719 be repossessed in three months. They just hated. Hey, is 678 00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:18.440 gonna hate hate hate. It's like crazy, man, it's a 679 00:47:18.480 --> 00:47:23.760 rental Like so what though, why are you all up 680 00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:29.119 in my busy? So what if it is a rental man? 681 00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:35.679 But the Pharisee said he casts out demons because he's 682 00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:41.639 in powered by the Prince of demons Gosh, Verse thirty five. 683 00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:44.599 Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, 684 00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:47.840 teaching and the synagogues and announcing the good news about 685 00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:54.400 the kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. 686 00:47:55.760 --> 00:47:58.119 And when he saw the crowds, he had compassion on 687 00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:03.400 them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without 688 00:48:03.400 --> 00:48:09.400 a shepherd. He saw what people were going through. He 689 00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:16.599 saw what people were riddled with and affected by mental illness, 690 00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:26.880 drug addiction, demonic possession, poverty, homelessness. You see people standing 691 00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:32.599 on this street, corner man, and some of them bent 692 00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:40.000 over standing up, sleep, tweaking out on meth and fentanol. 693 00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:52.199 People are hurting all over the place. Tons of opportunity 694 00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:55.199 for us to be Jesus to the world because people 695 00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:58.800 are just hurting, y'all. And Jesus had compassion on him, 696 00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:02.880 and I hope we can do the same. And he 697 00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:09.360 said to his disciples, the harvest is great, but the 698 00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:15.119 workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is 699 00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:18.320 in charge of the harvest, and ask him to send 700 00:49:18.400 --> 00:49:26.599 more workers into his fields. Boom. You've heard Jesus in 701 00:49:26.920 --> 00:49:30.639 prayer verses where he gave us the Lord's prayer and says, 702 00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:33.519 when you pray, pray like this. This is an outline, 703 00:49:33.679 --> 00:49:37.119 is a format. And he didn't say you had to 704 00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:44.320 pray that prayer. He says, here's an example. Now he's 705 00:49:44.320 --> 00:49:51.000 given you the exact thing to pray for. He's saying, 706 00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:55.599 pray that the Lord of the harvest, God, the Father Jehovah, God, 707 00:49:55.800 --> 00:50:00.239 pray that he'll send forth laborers into the harvest. Is 708 00:50:03.960 --> 00:50:11.000 the harvest is great, There's tons of opportunity for healing, 709 00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:20.280 for restoration, for fellowship, for people's needs being met, feeding 710 00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:26.119 the hungry, being a friend to someone, tons of opportunity 711 00:50:26.199 --> 00:50:31.239 for that. But Jesus is declaring that just the people 712 00:50:31.280 --> 00:50:34.800 who have the desire to go out and do it, 713 00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:41.679 that's what's lacking. And so he's saying for you, He's saying, hey, listen, 714 00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:45.239 pray more and more for more laborers. We need more 715 00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:49.159 people on the team, y'all. That's what you pray for. 716 00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:54.119 And so when you and I know you will, because 717 00:50:54.119 --> 00:50:56.039 we've been talking about this more and more, just the 718 00:50:56.079 --> 00:50:58.280 power

of prayer. Getting up in the morning, just before 719 00:50:58.320 --> 00:50:59.800 you get out of bed, just take a few minutes 720 00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:03.840 and start thinking about God. Just take a few minutes 721 00:51:03.880 --> 00:51:06.320 before you jump into your routine and think about God 722 00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:09.559 and the Kingdom. And then Jesus is saying, hey, right here, 723 00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:13.719 here's something else for you to do. Pray that God 724 00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:17.719 will send people into the harvest. There's folks out there, 725 00:51:17.800 --> 00:51:24.840 hurt and demon possessed, blind, dead, spiritually dead, physically dead, homeless, 726 00:51:25.239 --> 00:51:29.000 right poor. Some of these young folks have no mentors, 727 00:51:29.039 --> 00:51:31.840 you know, some of these folks out here, man, they 728 00:51:31.960 --> 00:51:35.039 just I'll tell you about the seventy four percent, right, 729 00:51:36.159 --> 00:51:39.119 seventy four percent of blacks in this country since nineteen 730 00:51:39.239 --> 00:51:45.880 seventy three are raised with single parent households according to 731 00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:50.719 the United States Census, and of that, seventy four percent 732 00:51:51.360 --> 00:51:57.719 single moms. You want to ask me about my testimony, 733 00:51:57.800 --> 00:52:02.199 what it's like being raised by a single mom. Go 734 00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:07.159 find ten people. You gonna find ten black people. Seven 735 00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:12.280 of them was raised by a single mom. It wasn't 736 00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:19.880 meant to be that way. It took two people to conceive, Yeah, 737 00:52:19.960 --> 00:52:23.199 and so it should take two people to raise that child, 738 00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:26.719 to give that child everything that child needs. And nowadays, man, 739 00:52:26.719 --> 00:52:28.880 you almost I get it. I understand you almost need 740 00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:33.840 two incomes in order to have anything decent nowadays. But 741 00:52:34.239 --> 00:52:38.679 he's saying, hey, listen, people got stuff going on because 742 00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:43.920 of the society, the fall of mankind, right, the increase 743 00:52:43.960 --> 00:52:47.639 of sin and selfishness. And Jesus is saying, when you pray, 744 00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:55.719 pray for laborers to go into the harvest, because people 745 00:52:55.719 --> 00:53:02.920 are hurting, y'all. I pray it'll be you that chooses 746 00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:08.320 to go forth into the harvest. Everybody in the cyber sanctuary, 747 00:53:08.360 --> 00:53:11.719 I pray it'll be you that go forth into the 748 00:53:11.760 --> 00:53:16.960 harvest in some kind of way to some kind of 749 00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:22.920 person who has some kind of need. So let me 750 00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:24.079 show you what it looks like. Because I told you 751 00:53:24.199 --> 00:53:26.599 I was gonna share a testimony today, I got a testimony. 752 00:53:26.960 --> 00:53:33.039 And congratulations, he got the job. He got the job. 753 00:53:35.079 --> 00:53:38.840 All of those times of sitting with this young brother 754 00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:42.719 that I've been mentoring for a few months now, man, 755 00:53:43.280 --> 00:53:47.199 all those times where I went and picked him up 756 00:53:47.239 --> 00:53:51.639 on my own time, sent him a ride on my 757 00:53:51.760 --> 00:53:54.920 own dime. If I couldn't go pick him up to 758 00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:58.320 his doctor's appointment. Is you know his his wife is 759 00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:00.599 is pregnant. Man, they need to get to the doctors. 760 00:54:00.639 --> 00:54:02.320 Many times I just go and pick him on myself 761 00:54:02.320 --> 00:54:04.960 because I'm out there driving anyway, and sometimes I couldn't 762 00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:07.599 get to him. But these brothers need help. He has 763 00:54:07.679 --> 00:54:11.079 no man, He's like he's seventeen years old. His mama died, 764 00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:18.199 father was never there, had a good mama actually left 765 00:54:18.280 --> 00:54:21.079 him a lot of stuff at seventeen eight I guess 766 00:54:21.079 --> 00:54:22.639 by the time he turned eighteen, I guess he was 767 00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:25.360 able to get this. But except eighteen, he had a house, 768 00:54:25.639 --> 00:54:29.559 he had a car, he had stuff going on because 769 00:54:29.559 --> 00:54:36.039 of what his mama left him. And then you know 770 00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:43.360 what happened next. Here came the vultures family swooped down 771 00:54:43.639 --> 00:54:47.599 on what he had left from his mama took advantage 772 00:54:47.639 --> 00:54:49.719 of a seventeen year old boy and left him with 773 00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:56.199 nothing shortly after, to the point where he was homeless, 774 00:54:56.320 --> 00:55:01.599 sleeping up under a bridge. And you wonder why some 775 00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:05.159 of these folks are young folks are angry and run 776 00:55:05.199 --> 00:55:08.400 the gangs. It's possible because they got nothing. They got 777 00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:18.519 nothing else. But he got the job. Starts work on 778 00:55:18.559 --> 00:55:22.199 the thirtieth. And you just love it to see when 779 00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:25.960 all of your labor comes to fruition and you see 780 00:55:26.000 --> 00:55:29.159 somebody's life transformed in a powerful way because of your 781 00:55:29.320 --> 00:55:32.880 help in their life. Well, to God be the Glory. 782 00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:35.079 It wouldn't you. It was God. Oh stop that, go ahead. 783 00:55:35.480 --> 00:55:37.440 I can't stand it. To God be the glory. Police, 784 00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:40.360 I can't stand them people. You got somebody in your 785 00:55:40.400 --> 00:55:42.880 life saying doing that. Man, listen, those are some of 786 00:55:42.880 --> 00:55:46.880 the people that you want to put out the house too. Well, 787

00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:49.039 to God be the glory. Is the power of God 788 00:55:49.239 --> 00:55:52.599 is he said, pray to the Lord, send laborers. He 789 00:55:52.639 --> 00:55:57.079 ain't say pray to God to send more power. He said, 790 00:55:57.159 --> 00:56:01.880 send more laborers. That's people. It's you. Yes, this God 791 00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:03.960 working through you. But you know, if you are not 792 00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:08.159 willing God can't do it. He's doing it through you. 793 00:56:08.800 --> 00:56:10.519 And so you get to be the person who check 794 00:56:10.599 --> 00:56:12.880 up on some folks that got no parenting behind them 795 00:56:12.960 --> 00:56:15.000 and no mentor. You get to be the person who 796 00:56:15.079 --> 00:56:17.400 send them rides and go pick them up. You get 797 00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:19.039 to be the person who showed them how to do this. 798 00:56:19.199 --> 00:56:21.039 And I'm telling you it's tough, it's hard, but these 799 00:56:21.119 --> 00:56:24.960 people need mentors. I sat right across from his brother 800 00:56:25.760 --> 00:56:27.480 just going off. He had a little fit of anger 801 00:56:27.480 --> 00:56:29.719 and started going off with his wife. I said, hold on, dog, 802 00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:33.719 hold on, bro, you don't get to talk to her 803 00:56:33.800 --> 00:56:38.360 like that, and I mean not for the me. Nah, 804 00:56:38.800 --> 00:56:41.480 this is what's happening here. This is why she feels 805 00:56:41.480 --> 00:56:43.599 that way. You can't be saying that to her. Is 806 00:56:43.599 --> 00:56:45.880 that not a child in her womb? Is that not 807 00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:48.280 your seed? You're not how easy you can have a 808 00:56:48.320 --> 00:56:51.280 miscarriage and you stressing her out on that? Nah? Bro, 809 00:56:51.400 --> 00:56:53.760 come on, man, you got to do better than that. 810 00:56:54.239 --> 00:56:56.480 And here's how you do it. You do this, and 811 00:56:56.519 --> 00:56:59.000 you do what you're mad about is not really like 812 00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:01.880 what you actually mean about. This happened, and that happened, 813 00:57:01.920 --> 00:57:05.480 but that ain't really you see reason and imparting wisdom 814 00:57:05.480 --> 00:57:08.239 into people's lives. That takes time. That's just as much 815 00:57:08.239 --> 00:57:13.159 of a miracle as casting out a demon for somebody. 816 00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:18.119 Sitting in somebody and sitting in somebody's house and sharing 817 00:57:18.159 --> 00:57:22.199 the things you've learned in your life. That's a miracle 818 00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:30.039 for these people because they don't have anybody. And in 819 00:57:30.039 --> 00:57:32.320 this scenario, y'all told you, I want everybody to be 820 00:57:32.360 --> 00:57:35.599 practicing what we preach. This is not something that most people, 821 00:57:35.920 --> 00:57:39.199 especially you know, you got the people who are the naysayers, 822 00:57:39.320 --> 00:57:41.840 always talking about preachers and hypocrites. Well, here's one that 823 00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:45.000 I'm showing you. I'm practicing what I preach. Now you 824 00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:48.159 spend all that time talking about people being critical, share 825 00:57:48.199 --> 00:57:51.400 this one. Share some good news the way you share 826 00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:55.880 bad news. The brother got the job. After all my 827 00:57:56.079 --> 00:57:57.960 labor in his life, he got the job, and he 828 00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:00.639 probably gonna need a ride to work, or maybe his 829 00:58:00.880 --> 00:58:03.440 wife gonna need to ride whatever. They still need a car. 830 00:58:03.639 --> 00:58:05.599 They still trying to find a place to live. And 831 00:58:05.639 --> 00:58:09.199 guess what it might be me that God puts into 832 00:58:09.239 --> 00:58:13.800 their harvest field to help them get it. It might 833 00:58:13.840 --> 00:58:21.239 be you are you? Are you willing? Because it is 834 00:58:21.360 --> 00:58:25.719 hard and it might take some of your money, or 835 00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:28.440 it might take some of your time. But are you 836 00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:34.760 willing or are you willing to just at least pray 837 00:58:34.920 --> 00:58:38.119 that God sends people into the harvest. You feel like 838 00:58:38.119 --> 00:58:41.079 you got no time to pray, You're wrong, you feel 839 00:58:41.079 --> 00:58:43.199 like you know how to pray long enough, You're wrong. 840 00:58:43.760 --> 00:58:46.519 Here it is pray that God will send more people 841 00:58:46.559 --> 00:58:52.480 into the harvest. And listen, if you don't know how 842 00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:55.199 to be intentional about grabbing a hold of people and 843 00:58:55.280 --> 00:58:57.599 mentoring people, if you don't know how to meet your neighbor, 844 00:58:57.800 --> 00:59:00.320 if you don't know how to I had to. I 845 00:59:00.400 --> 00:59:02.840 challenged her to this too, and she said, hey, listen, 846 00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:04.800 I live here, man, I live in this middle class, 847 00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:08.400 high middle class area. I ain't around no po folks. Listen, 848 00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:10.599 and that's your case. Listen. You are the person we 849 00:59:10.679 --> 00:59:17.320 need because you have resources. Contact me. I'll show you 850 00:59:17.360 --> 00:59:19.079 how to do it. I'll show you how to connect 851 00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:23.039 with people who have needs. She says. The harvest is plas, 852 00:59:23.079 --> 00:59:27.639 but we need laborers, bro, it's the laborers. Labor finders 853 00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:30.320 is where we are. We looking for people to go 854 00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:34.880 into the harvest. And you're never gonna have a great day, 855 00:59:34.920 --> 00:59:37.400 a great night's sleep, until you can go to sleep 856 00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:40.039 resting your heart knowing that you help somebody who can

857 00:59:40.119 --> 00:59:45.400 never repay you, knowing that through all this time and 858 00:59:45.480 --> 00:59:48.519 investment you made in somebody's life, they got the job. 859 00:59:51.199 --> 00:59:53.320 I'm excited for me and I don't know how long the 860 00:59:53.400 --> 00:59:55.639 relationship gonna last. And you know, I'd love for him 861 00:59:55.679 --> 00:59:57.000 to be a member of this church, but that ain't 862 00:59:57.039 --> 01:00:01.440 what I'm doing it for. I'm doing it because he 863 01:00:01.519 --> 01:00:03.840 needs help. And this is what God's called us to do. 864 01:00:10.239 --> 01:00:13.760 And just like it begins with me, folks, it begins 865 01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:18.519 with you. And so if you don't know how to 866 01:00:18.599 --> 01:00:23.280 create these opportunities to meet those who have needs like this, 867 01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:28.239 call me five one three, four zero four seven seven 868 01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:35.719 nine three, send me a text. I will respond. Some 869 01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:39.079 of you give to charities, and that's great. You know 870 01:00:39.159 --> 01:00:44.800 that your seeds are going into the harvest, and you 871 01:00:44.920 --> 01:00:50.719 hope that those seeds will grow up into a and 872 01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:56.199 to a tremendous benefit for somebody else. Send your seeds 873 01:00:56.199 --> 01:00:59.800 this way. I ain't shame, that's right. I told you 874 01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:04.119 one young lady that my son and I wouldn't help move. Listen, 875 01:01:04.159 --> 01:01:06.400 we couldn't have helped her move without someone else sowing 876 01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:09.960 a seed almost one thousand dollars. They got together to 877 01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:13.440 help her pay her deposit in first month's rent. We 878 01:01:13.559 --> 01:01:17.480 changed her life, y'all. She couldn't have moved by herself, 879 01:01:17.519 --> 01:01:19.400 and she didn't have the money. She had the money 880 01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:21.800 to sustain the rent. But y'all know how much folks 881 01:01:21.880 --> 01:01:25.960 charge man first month's rent deposit and this bunting the electricity. 882 01:01:26.000 --> 01:01:28.760 Want that deposit? Man, It cost you a grip to 883 01:01:28.800 --> 01:01:30.840 be able to move. And you wonder why people down 884 01:01:30.880 --> 01:01:32.840 and out and lose their mental health and go crazy 885 01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:35.519 and take drugs and stuff, because sometimes they just stuck. 886 01:01:35.880 --> 01:01:38.000 They just need help to get out of the hole. 887 01:01:40.239 --> 01:01:42.039 And you can be it, even if it's just nothing 888 01:01:42.079 --> 01:01:47.360 but writing a check. Trust me. Every joint supplies, not 889 01:01:47.519 --> 01:01:52.400 everybody's on the front line. We need somebody replenishing the AMMO. 890 01:01:53.679 --> 01:01:57.239 We need somebody putting up the bathrooms and the tents 891 01:01:57.280 --> 01:02:00.000 and stuff back there in the hospital, keeping the hospital. 892 01:02:01.760 --> 01:02:03.960 We need somebody doing the work in the background, so 893 01:02:03.960 --> 01:02:06.039 when the people come off the front line, they got 894 01:02:06.079 --> 01:02:08.000 somebody to take care of them, fix them up and 895 01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:11.679 get them ready to go back out again. Every joint supplies, 896 01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:20.119 but we need laborers, y'all, and it could be you 897 01:02:22.320 --> 01:02:27.280 and it is me. I need a team to grow. 898 01:02:28.840 --> 01:02:30.800 That's why I'm asking you to share this channel, share 899 01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:33.840 this ministry with somebody. We need the team to grow 900 01:02:34.360 --> 01:02:38.000 because people are hurting, y'all. And so when you pray, 901 01:02:38.800 --> 01:02:42.400 you pray about how you want to reach out and 902 01:02:42.440 --> 01:02:46.719 support this ministry. You pray about how you can be 903 01:02:46.880 --> 01:02:52.159 christ to someone else. And when you pray, also pray 904 01:02:52.199 --> 01:02:57.639 for the harvest. Pray that the Lord will send laborers 905 01:02:57.719 --> 01:03:05.000 into his harvest. Henry flowers powerful living outreach ministries. I 906 01:03:05.039 --> 01:03:06.679 ain't going to wear. I'm coming back.
