  1. Yeah, and everybody what exactly? Yeah, mhm. So follow on the

  2. message broken book restored. Today we're going to talk about be made hole,

  3. be made hole. So I'll just welcome the Holy Spirit and then we'll get

  4. on Holy bit. We are welcome you this morning. Please fill this place

  5. with your person and with your presence. Please speak to the people online and

  6. the people here this morning and the people later in the name, and you

  7. welcome in the spread. So the scriptures today are all taken from the new

  8. King James version. That's just because the way the Holy Spirit led me,

  9. and as a as a reason behind that, the U King James version doesn't

  10. touch it now as the amplified. Because the Lord wanted to express to us

  11. today three words not like the three words you look on the internet, but

  12. you could use our supposed opinion. The three words are be made oh,

  13. be made hope, and he wants to convey to us today feel this time

  14. have together wholeness. That's nothing missing, nothing broken mind, body, soul,

  15. spirit, So nothing missing, nothing broken mind, body, soul and

  16. spirit, so total wholeness. She has only carried our sins, but the

  17. also carried our sicknesses and our diseases. We receive forgiveness by faith, and

  18. we receive wholeness the same way. So I thought it was quite apt that

  19. we call this message to be made whole. So the Lord wants gives an

  20. opportunity today to minister his grace to us. So stay focused, listen to

  21. what he's saying. Listen to me, Listen to what he's saying, and

  22. receive what he has for you. It's not about me, it's about the

  23. work of the Holystpit. So listen and received from him. Okay, it's

  24. being going through a number of scriptures, and then at the end of the

  25. end of the preach, we're going to have the time of ministry invitation for

  26. that people want to be prayed for. If you do, bye, If

  27. you don't, Bye, no pressure. It's what the Hospit's doing with you

  28. as a person. You know. John five five to nine in the King

  29. James version talk us about the guy was healed at the pool, and a

  30. certain man was there which had an infirmity thirty eight years. When Jesus saw

  31. him, lie, I knew that he had now been a long time in

  32. that case. He said to him, will you be made hope, Will

  33. you be made hope. The impotent man's said, or answered him, Sir,

  34. I have no man when the water is troubled to put me into the

  35. pool. But while I am coming, another steps down before me. Jesus

  36. said to him, rise up, rise, take your bed and walk,

  37. And immediately the man was made Hope. Immediately the man was made Hope,

  38. I took up his bed and walked. On the same day it was the

  39. Sabbath. So notice this man had been in this condition for thirty eight years,

  40. and she has asked him, do you want to be made, Hope?

  41. What would you say? What would you say? He reverted to type

  42. and just told you is about why he wasn't made Hope. What his problem

  43. was is his deal? You put that cassette, take all that message in

  44. his MP three file ever want to use nowadays. And he just ratted doff

  45. why he hadn't been made Hope. We need to stop focusing on the problem,

  46. the situation, the circumstance, the infirmity. We need to focus on

  47. our God. Mm hmm. The Williams has behold, I am the Lord

  48. that God both less. Is there anything to hearten me? If that man

  49. had known who was asking him the question I'm sure his response would have been

  50. different. Mhm. Notice Jesus didn't argue with him or empathize with him.

  51. He told him what to do. Take up your bed and walk. Jesus

  52. spoke the word of faith. The power of God hit that man and he

  53. got up and he walked. We need to respond by faith. Yes,

  54. if you want to receive anything from God. When you prayed that prayer all

  55. those years ago, or maybe recently, when you recognize that you needed a

  56. God, he didn't know you didn't go or did it work? Is it

  57. real? God came into our lives. It's the same with healing, same

  58. with wholeness. You go believe. It's not a junk a leap of faith.

  59. It's believing. She has said, only believe. Mm hmm. So

  60. this morning, and look at the number of instances where Jesus made people home.

  61. Hebrews said, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

  62. He doesn't change. So Jesus is still doing what he did. We

  63. just need to be an efficient to receive what it has for us. In

  64. American football, that's something called a receiver who catches the ball. There's God

  65. been the right place at the right time to catch that ball. Who standing

  66. out like this with his arms folded being going to have that ball in his

  67. eye needs to be on the ball when it comes he gets it. We

  68. need to have an eye on Jesus, who was the author and finish out

  69. of our faith, went to catch what he's got for us. This morning

  70. m h called Luke Kate, which is the account of the one with the

  71. issue of blood. Then it rolls into the account of Jiarrus and his daughter

  72. something from Luke chapter eight. And a woman having an issue of blood twelve

  73. years, which I spent all her living important physicians neither could be healed of

  74. any came behind him and touched the border of his garments, and immediately her

  75. blood staunched or dried up. And Jesus said, who touched me? When

  76. all denied, Peter and there that were with him, said, Master,

  77. the multitude throng you and press you, and you say who touched me?

  78. Jesus said, Sunday has touched me, for I perceived that virtue or power

  79. has gone out of me. And when the woman saw that she was not

  80. hid or hidden, she came trembling and falling down before him. She declared

  81. to him before everyone had the course of why she touched him and how she

  82. had been immediately healed. Jesus said to her, be of good comfort.

  83. Your faith has made you hope. Go in peace. Your faith has made

  84. you hope. Noticed that women risked everything in the culture of the time.

  85. You were allowed to go into society. When you issue of blood, you

  86. consider them clean. She could have been stoned. She set her mind.

  87. She set her heart on one thing. She wanted to be made home.

  88. She tried the doctors. It didn't work in this instance. Medical scientist is

  89. exceptional. However, Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever.

  90. It doesn't stop God hearing your body. God doesn't hear your body.

  91. Go and see the doctor. They'll fix your body. But back in this

  92. day medicine was not advanced. But today God will heal your body. God

  93. will make you hope. God stay untacked. She pressed through the crowd,

  94. and she touched the hem of his garments. Mark five twenty eight to twenty

  95. nine says she said, if I may touch but his clothes, I shall

  96. behopd. She said, if I may touch but his clothes, I shall

  97. behold and straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt

  98. in the body that she was healed of that plague. This lady pressed in

  99. and made a demand on the anointed that was in Jesus' life. That's why

  100. I said, why is that virtue of virtue and power gone out to me?

  101. And today we need to press in and receive wholeness from the Lord.

  102. When you're listening online now or listening later, you need to press in and

  103. receive wholeness from God. God is a spirit. There's no difference in the

  104. spirit. Doesn't matter if you're here in Egham or to the side of the

  105. world. It doesn't matter. What matters is that you engage with the Holy

  106. Spirit and allow him to minister his grace. Allow him to minister his homeness

  107. to you. It doesn't matter where you are. It doesn't matter. Jesus

  108. the same, yesterday, today and forever Hebrews thirteen and verse eight. He's

  109. still making people home. Yes, mind, body, soul, spirit.

  110. Yes, God wants us to be a whole, not just in one air

  111. of allies. There's no point looking good, and you've got a mental problem

  112. looking good. You've got a physic pallem. People can't see. God wants

  113. us home. That's not to be so walk away. Oh look, I

  114. hope it's so that it can be a witness to those people around us that

  115. there is a living God who heals, there's a living God who forgives,

  116. there's a living God that cleanses, that there's a living God that can make

  117. a difference in everybody's life. Let's continue reading from Luke Gate and pick up

  118. the story of su Yeah, so we know that before the lady of this

  119. ship book came, it's spoken to Jesus and asked him to ask him to

  120. go with him to his house to pray for his daughter. So Giros was

  121. alsously made up. He was he was the rules and the god gets poked.

  122. He just thought, y'h okay, she's gonna come and pray for my

  123. little girl. And then all this thing kicked off with the lady thissue of

  124. blood and he's waiting. He's standing there waiting, watching this, and then

  125. Suddy came to him and said, your daughter is dead. Trouble not the

  126. Master. Notice Jesus' response, fear not only believe, and she shall be

  127. made. Fear not only believe, and she shall be made home. Jesus

  128. is not moved by our circumstances. She is not moved by what we think.

  129. We should not be moved by our circumstances. We should not be moved

  130. by what we think. Our circumstance can be obstacles from receiving what God has

  131. for us. Don't allow your circumstances to be an obstacle to receiving from what

  132. God has for you. When he came into the house, he suffered no

  133. man to go in, all right, nobody, nobody else has only went

  134. in the room apart from Peter and James, John, and the man and

  135. his mother, and his and his and his wife. I'm all wept and

  136. bewailed her, but he said, we not. She is not dead but

  137. sleeps. And they laughed him. Just go and knowing that she was dead,

  138. And he put them out. He's put them out because God is faith.

  139. God is faith, and faith and doubt. Faith and belief do not

  140. make us like oil and water. He said. If it's rained outside and

  141. you're walking along the road, you see the paint where some car has stopped

  142. and it's spilled some petrol ads on the on the road, you see that

  143. they sort of shine and separate on it. God is a faith person of

  144. faith being what we're going to call it, and he operates by faith,

  145. and we are caught to operate by faith. So he knew those people out

  146. of that place for faith could be manifest. You can't be foot in both

  147. camps. You've got to add a defeat in the camp of faith, not

  148. in the camp of doubt and unbelieved. You either believe what God says or

  149. you don't. It's that definitive. So Jesus removed the people from the room.

  150. They took the little girl's hand and said, arise, and the spirit

  151. came in her, and she arose, and they said, give us something

  152. to eat. Her parents were astonished. The Bible says we charged them not

  153. to say anything. Nothing is impossible for God. Matthew on the Scriptures in

  154. the Matthew nineteen twenty six says, with God, all things are possible.

  155. I think its paraphrase the last piece of it. With God, all things

  156. are possible. We just need to meet his conditions. We need to believe.

  157. So Matthew fourteen thirty six through thirty thirty four through thirty six talks about

  158. Jesus going to Gatana at so, picking up from verse thirty four, he

  159. says, And when they were gone over, they came into the land often

  160. rat And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent

  161. out into all the country around about and brought to him all who were diseased,

  162. and besought him that they might touch the hem of his garments. And

  163. as many as touched were made perfectly hope. As many as touched and made

  164. perfectly hope. So as soon as Jesus arrived, anybody who had any issues

  165. was notified, and they all came together. They all came m I said

  166. earlier. Jesus is the same yesterday today, and Trevor, Jesus is here.

  167. We carry his presence in these earthen vessels. Who carries a ninety and

  168. the earth and vessels we're just bless shared with our work the coup may I

  169. bled just how it works. Yeah, isn't it interesting when in the age

  170. that Jesus was there, they dropped everything and came all that that's critical says.

  171. And as mayors touched him were made perfectly hole, perfectly hope. M

  172. hm h m. They were a candidate for a miracle. H m hm.

  173. They met his conditions, They touched the hem of his garment and they

  174. were made home. The question this morning is for those but this applies to

  175. do you want to be made home? Do you want to make Is there

  176. something in your life or something in a family member? If you want to

  177. stand in property, follow you want them to be made at home. If

  178. that's the case, Jesus asked me to after we finished the preach in bat

  179. from prop for prayer. There's no power. He knows, the power of

  180. God, power of the Holy Spirit. Are you a candidate or do you

  181. know some as a candidate for a miracle today? It's not the work of

  182. a man, it's the work of the Holy Spirit. Do you want to

  183. be made home? Mark ten forty six talks about Bartim Mace. I'm should

  184. we all know the story of Barti Mace If you want to some disclose it.

  185. He had to draw pictures of Bartimers, et cetera. You know,

  186. it's a very well known account. So when the read a bit of that

  187. kind, have a chatter about that, he is able to take it.

  188. And they came to Jericho. And as he went out of Jericho with his

  189. disciples, a great number of people blind Bartie Mayus, the son of Simius,

  190. sat by the highway side begging, and when he heard that it was

  191. Jesus Nadabert, he began to cry out, saying, Jesus, son of

  192. David, have mercy on me. And then he said to him to hold

  193. his peace. But he cried out the more, son of David, have

  194. mercy on me. And Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called.

  195. And they called a blind man, saying to him, be of good comfort.

  196. Rise. He has called you, and he cast away his garment,

  197. rose and came to Jesus. And Jesus answered and said to him, what

  198. will that I should? What will you? What do you want to do

  199. for your base? Paraphrase it, What do you want to do for you?

  200. A blind man said to him Lord, that I might receive my sight,

  201. And he said to him, go your way. Your faith has made

  202. your hope. And immediately he received his sight and followed. Jesus noticed in

  203. the scripture, when Bartimas knew that Jesus coming, he was vocal. He

  204. pressed in not the one of the issue of blood. He pressed, in

  205. m you're planned. You couldn't see if he's up to Jesus and grabbing because

  206. any where he's going. But you pressed him. Yeah, and we need

  207. to press him this morning. Notice she's as said to him, what do

  208. you want me to do for you? What you want to do with you?

  209. Now that might be quite obvious mhm. But faith is a fact,

  210. and faith's an that you confessed with your mouth, believe in your heart.

  211. So he wanted him to engage. He wanted him to confess what he wanted

  212. to believe in his heart to receive what he had been him. Yes,

  213. Jesus well knew what he wanted. Bartima has pressed him. He got to

  214. Jesus, the source of wholeness. Mm hmmm, and he was made home.

  215. These scriptures been reading talk about about the physical body, but nowadays we

  216. are did other a lot of issues that way, there's a lot of mental

  217. issues in the world where people have a lot of mental issues. Are psychiatrists,

  218. Christian psychiatrists as well as mental piciatrists who work to help people. Jesus

  219. wants you to be whole. It's not just physically, not just spiritually,

  220. but mentally and emotional. Let's not limit God today. Let's not limit God

  221. what God can do. M Jesus said, only believe, Only believe.

  222. Luke seventeen, verse twelve through nineteen talked about the leopards of being cleansed.

  223. Back in the day there was no cure for leprosy, and now we have

  224. today. Bitch just dropped off. And as he entered into a certain village,

  225. they met him ten lepers, ten men that were leopards. We stood

  226. afar off, and they lift up their voice and said to Jesus, Master,

  227. have mercy on us. And when you saw them, he said to

  228. them, go show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass.

  229. As they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he

  230. saw that he was healed, turned back and with a loud voice glorified God,

  231. filed down in his face at his feet, giving him thanks. And

  232. he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answered, answering, said whether not ten

  233. cleansed? Mm hmm, Well, but where are the nine? They are

  234. not found that return to give glory save the stranger. And there's a Samaritan.

  235. And he said to them, arise, go your way. Your faith

  236. has made your hope. Your faith has made your hope. Believing by faith,

  237. receiving wholeness are connected. I can notice that too difficult to pick out

  238. the scripture, but there's a connection. Lefterds are waiting for. They want

  239. him to make them hole when Jesus sent them to the priests. That's in

  240. relation to the Particus thirteen and verse fourteen, where you went to the priests

  241. with an offering when you've been cleansed from leprosy, or when you were clear

  242. of leprosy, and then I said you could back into starting. You're okay

  243. to rock and roll. Jesus told them to go before, so they were

  244. on the way to see the priests before they were pleansed. Faith is a

  245. fact, but faith is an act. They acted and what he said.

  246. They knew what Jesus was, They knew what he could do for them.

  247. He had a reputation. God has a reputation. Behold, I am the

  248. Lord. I've got the old flesh. Is there anything to hap of me?

  249. We go nothing due Jesus. But apart from this, this, this,

  250. this, and this, nothing is too hard for God. We need

  251. to get our mindset corrected sometimes to receive from him. Leprosy symbolic of sin

  252. sink and hold us down. So just stop us from receiving from God.

  253. We need to be hold on every hour of our lives. Let's look at

  254. a New Testament, Acts three one through four. This is about the lame

  255. man in the temple. I think it's a gate called beautiful. Now Peter

  256. and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being

  257. the ninth hower, and a certain man, lame from his mother's womb,

  258. was carried. But they laid daily at the gate of the temple, which

  259. is called beautiful. To ask arms of them that entered the temple. Who,

  260. seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked arms,

  261. And Peter, fastening his eyes on him with John, said look on us.

  262. I'll look at us. And Peter said, silver and gold I have

  263. not, and there's not He's not carrying this silver our gold. But such

  264. as I have I give you. Such as I have I give you in

  265. the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Rise up and walk. And he

  266. took him by the right hand and lifted him up. And immediately his feet

  267. and uncle bones received strength, and he, leaping up, stood and walked,

  268. walked and entered the temple with them, walking, leaping and praising God,

  269. and all the people saw him walking and praising God. If we're rolling

  270. a little bit further, so asks for six through ten. All this had

  271. kicked off, and obvious see the the temple police want to better description.

  272. I got hold of them and took them to the high priests. Verse four

  273. six through ten says and I asked the high priest, and Cayphus, and

  274. John and Alexander, as many as were of the kindred of the high priests

  275. were gathered together in Jerusalem. And when they had set them in the midst,

  276. they asked, by what power or by what name have you done this?

  277. By what power? And by what name have you done this? Peter

  278. filled with the Holy girl, Us said to them, you, rulers of

  279. the people and else of Israel, if we this day be examined of the

  280. good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he has made hope

  281. m hm. Being known to you all and to all the people of Israel,

  282. that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified,

  283. whom God raised from the dead, even by him, does this man stand

  284. here before you? Hope m hm, m hm hm Jesus. Okay,

  285. it's still making people whole today. Yeah, he said, go in my

  286. name. Come. Yeah, you cast our devils, you heal the sick,

  287. you raised it dead, and it's happening. It is happening. Peter,

  288. moved by the Holy Spirit, grab that man's hand and gave him what

  289. he had. There's a slight diversion from my seventh pend of the mind,

  290. the same anointing that some Peter is on us because the Holy Spirit lives within

  291. us. He said, go in my name. We need to be ready

  292. to go. We need to ready to be that man, be that woman

  293. who can bring homeless to somebody. Today it's about people receiving homeless. God

  294. wants us hope. That gives a message to the world. I mean to

  295. turn around to give what we've been given homeless. It's one thing to receive

  296. wholeness today, nothing to give what God God's put in you. Remember,

  297. it's not the work of a man. It's the work of the homeless.

  298. For He wants us a whole hope, nothing missing, nothing broken through Jesus.

  299. So today, whether we're listening online, whether we're listening in this building,

  300. we're going to listen to it later. Like I said earlier, God

  301. wants me to give an invitation. Those people want to see a wholeness in

  302. their bodies or home for Sunday in their family. It's what about me,

  303. It's about the Holy Spirit. So when they may, if you're in this

  304. building, I'd like to come forward, We'll pray for you. Before that,

  305. Let's pray for the people who are online those into this later. Like

  306. I said, John four twenty four says God is a spirit for the words.

  307. Wherever you are, he is with you. So when I pray for

  308. the people online there, when the people is in later, when you'd like

  309. to come forward to salmon, johnity want to come up with a the list

  310. of please. So if you're listening online or listening later and you have a

  311. need for wholeness, well that's physically, spiritually, financially, socially, emotionally,

  312. is need of holeness in your life. God is a spirit. God

  313. is with you. Now. I'm going to pray, prayer and trust God

  314. to minister his grace to you of wholeness. So the name of I believe

  315. of God's healing anointing of wholeness into your physical body or that of a loved

  316. one in Jesus name, total homeness, mind, body, soul, spirit,

  317. in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, please feel

  318. free to drop us a line and tell us what God has done for you.

  319. And it's not the work of a man's the work of the Holy Spirit.

  320. So for the people in the room here this morning who will want to

  321. receive from God, Yeah, if you want to come up, that's fine,

  322. no pressure, It's entirely up to you God. God set this up.

  323. I certainly didn't. Hm. So as you seen this, this song,

  324. please come up, we'll pray if you then will wrap? Is that

  325. okay? H m hm m m hm m m m m m m hmmmm.
