  21. It wasn't too bad. I bounced back pretty quick from

  22. that one. Then I had the second stroke, and uh,

  23. it was pretty bad. And then the third stroke was terrible,

  24. and now I thought I was gonna die on that

  25. third stroke but.

  26. You know, God's seen a reason. I didn't have nothing

  27. to do with it.

  28. I kind of feel like I was on my way out,

  29. but God had a reason to keep it around.

  30. Then I had COVID nineteen and they said he ain't

  31. gonna make it. I didn't know where I was at

  32. in the world and all I had no clue what

  33. was going on. And uh, well we bounced back from back.

  34. After seventeen days in the hospital.

  35. My son called down every day and house my dad

  36. doing and they said, well, he used to make your progress.

  37. He said what the pastor said, want to go, and

  38. then talked about progress, won't go, We need to make progress.

  39. Never did I regress, but I progressed email.

  40. Then two years later they said, you gotta have an

  41. open heart surgery.

  42. Funny thing. I was laying on the table there and

  43. the heart caath. No, you don't have two.

  44. Heartcas in my in my time, and uh one of

  45. them they put me to sleep.

  46. Well, this one they didn't put me to sleep.

  47. And the doctor talked to me the whole time, and

  48. he said, mm, it's saying good.

  49. How may that here? God man, what's going on?

  50. Finally he said, I ain't gonna be to let you

  51. go home. He said, you lived too far away. I

  52. was about thirty five minutes from the hospital.

  53. He said, you live too far away. He said, I'm

  54. having to punch in the hospital. That was on Monday.

  55. On Wednesday morning, they'd done heart surgery, and God brought

  56. us through that.

  57. Thank God. I know, you know, we've all got a time,

  58. We're all appointed at that time to die. We're all

  59. gonna die one day. But as for now, I'm here

  60. with you.

  61. Thank God.

  62. Let's have everybody, hey man, all right. In the Book

  63. of Mark, chapter number ten.

  64. Good secret, sister Frock, good friend of ours, and some mothers.

  65. Here for Aaron.

  66. Good. See.

  67. We don't know everybody. We know a few of you.

  68. He went on.

  69. Mark, chapter ten, verse from A forty six. And they

  70. came to Jericho. And as he went out of Jericho

  71. with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus,

  72. the son of Tomaus, sat by the way highway side daddy.

  73. And when you.

  74. Heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to

  75. cry out and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have

  76. mercy on me. And many charged him that he should

  77. hold his peace and he cried the more and a

  78. great deal, Thou, son.

  79. Of David, have mercy on me.

  80. And Jesus stood sty and commanded him to be called.

  81. And they called the blind men, saying, unto him be

  82. of good comfort.

  83. Rise.

  84. He calleth thee or the privilege, And he, casting away

  85. his garment, rose and came to Jesus. And Jesus answered

  86. and said unto him, what wilt thou that I should do?

  87. Unto thee? The blind men said, unto him, Lord, that

  88. I might receive my sight.

  89. And Jesus said, unto him, go thy way, Thou faith.

  90. Has made thee hole.

  91. And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus in

  92. the way.

  93. Pray with his father.

  94. We love you, Cadre, so grateful today to me standing

  95. in the presence of God God. Pray God this morning

  96. the Lord, that the will of God be done.

  97. Pray that you touch every.

  98. Heart and every life.

  99. We pray that you're minister to us to day. God

  100. through your word, God, give us a great all? Can

  101. we pray? And we ask it all in the name

  102. of Jesus.

  103. And everybody said amen, And he let it be speaking.

  104. If the Lord will help me this morning I want

  105. to preach on this simple thought, face to face with

  106. what I need. Bartimaeus is where he's been now for

  107. a long time, perhaps too will. It seems to me

  108. though he's been waiting for a certain sound every day.

  109. He's waiting on that certain sound, that certain footstep, that

  110. certain whisper, maybe that certain voice.

  111. He knows, but he's not for sure if he's going to.

  112. Recognize it when he hears it has been a long way,

  113. My goodness, say that you've been there.

  114. I've been there, You've been there. We've been there.

  115. When it was such a long way it seemed like

  116. it wasn't going on ever end.

  117. But we waited, didn't we? What else do you do?

  118. Church?

  119. What else can you do? The only thing I know

  120. to do is wait? And that what's the word of

  121. God tells us.

  122. Wait upon the Lord.

  123. Man.

  124. How many knows what it is to wait on God?

  125. You know, when we wait on God we grow stronger, we.

  126. Grow stronger, and then the day comes. Everything is pretty

  127. much the same.

  128. And always as begin. But then Jesus artimaus can't see.

  129. He hears the noise.

  130. He inquires us to what that noise is? He's told

  131. it's not for you. Don't you worry about it any

  132. anything you need to be concerned about. His expectation is

  133. now through the roof, so to speak. He stops Jesus

  134. with his Christ, and then Jesus stops in his tracks

  135. and he calls from all of Maatus. Suddenly, now he's

  136. face to face. WHOA, I love it, don't you?

  137. I love it when.

  138. I'm face to face with the Lord? How mean is ever?

  139. Being face to face with the Lord? Part of mass

  140. face to face with the Lord, and he realizes what

  141. he's being needed and what he needs right now is

  142. before him. What an awesome tender church, to know that

  143. what you need you ain't gonna have to wait on

  144. it no longer. What you need is standing right before you.

  145. You're looking out ball out or with what you need.

  146. I feel like there's somebody here today.

  147. You're in great need.

  148. You need to stand and look out ball at our

  149. ball with exactly what it is that you. Finally he's

  150. face to face with what he've been needing for a

  151. long time. There's two things to remember. He wanted his

  152. healing and he wasn't leaving with that God determination. I

  153. need my healing. I may not get my healing immediately.

  154. But I need my healing. If I'm not gonna get

  155. it immediately, then I'm gonna wait on him.

  156. I'm gonna I'm not leaving. I'm gonna stay right here right.

  157. I know we can't stay at church day and night.

  158. I know we can't do that, and I understand that.

  159. And I'll tell you something. You don't have to stay.

  160. At church.

  161. When you realize what you need is coming.

  162. When you realize that you can get what you need

  163. from God. He it pays us to stay faithful to God.

  164. It's pays us to stay ready because in an hour

  165. that you're not taking about God, I come by and

  166. he'll touch your body, He'll touch your mind.

  167. They'll give you what you need.

  168. He'll make everything good that's been bad for a long

  169. time to call.

  170. Now.

  171. God knows you, and he knows what you need, and

  172. he knows what He's gonna give it to you. But

  173. you've gotta need paper to wait upon the lawd every man,

  174. because it's gonna be a glorious moment. It's gonna be

  175. a glorious time. Amen, when we see him taste the face,

  176. any lays a handle on its amen.

  177. And heels our note d any man.

  178. I don't know. Listen.

  179. Maybe it's having to wait for a long time.

  180. I don't know.

  181. Maybe it's just because bart of me Is had been.

  182. Blind all his life a man, but somehow or another

  183. he knew that.

  184. Jesus have one he needed.

  185. I'll come over.

  192. But yet time, Amen, he'll heal. He'll heal you. He'll

  193. touch you in his timing. And until that time.

  245. crowd was excited.

  246. That crowd was poor him.

  266. Adam that go with that, go in.

  267. God can't touch you right now. Let's just say that

  268. was a great desperation on funivation's part. I want you

  269. to understand this. Now, this this desperation. I mean, you're

  270. god man. After all, he had been through.

  271. Day and night, every single moment, every second that passed by.

  272. What he had been through, there was a lot of

  273. desperation built up, a lot of desperation.

  274. He was a desperate human being.

  275. Oh yeah, I want to understand something here. He didn't

  276. like being where he was. You don't like being where

  277. you walk. It didn't feel good and it didn't have

  278. a good fitling. It just I don't know to have

  279. been there, so I don't really know, but I know this.

  280. It couldn't have been good. He had been there a

  291. need in your body and great need in your life,

  292. but you're not willing to be desperate enough.

  293. You're not willing to sew that desperation.
