Sunday Message - Dale Everet (August 26, 2012) | Life Bible Church

Before I actually go to the text can I just talk

to you about how to open your heart for a miracle?

Because there are people getting them right now

That's what pastor was reminding me He's already

heard testimonies some of you out there that

have experienced a healing touch of Jesus and

and some of you that already have it and some

of you got it in Saturday service or you got

it in one of the morning services in a moment

when we're When we're coming to the end of the

message and the flood of God's healing is happening

for others if you don't mind Hello you that are

there to have already experienced it be among

the first that come up here because I want to

hear what God has done within your life I want

everybody needs to hear what God is doing that

there's a way of sealing it and that's what I'm

talking about Do you know how to receive a miracle?

from God to say, I'm not preaching, I'm just

talking about how you open your heart. I indicated

it in one of the services today that one of the

things that helps a person connect with God is

to select something they'd like God to do. I

mean, have something in mind. It's not that he

won't do more than that. or he can't do something

other than that, but if you don't select something,

you don't open to anything. There's something

about the selecting of one thing that helps you

maybe connect right with that thing, but more

than that, what it really does is it opens your

spirit to get everything from the Lord. That's

why I pointed out to you that when Jesus would

come to people that had visible, obvious needs,

he would still ask them, what do you want me

to do for you? That's what he would do. Why would

you ask someone who is crippled or blind? You

can see they're crippled or blind. Why would

you ask him that? Because he's getting them to

open their heart and connect and say this is

what I want. You see someone in this house right

now needs to say to themselves, this is the end

of migraine headaches for me tonight. Someone

someone in this place needs to say to themselves.

This is the end of this curvature of the spine

Someone's he say to himself. I'm not gonna have

diabetes anymore Tonight is the night. Are you

hearing that tonight? It's the night for me to

receive whatever it is Maybe it's deliverance

from panic attacks fears or something. Whatever

it is deliverance from an addiction. This is

my night You need to set yourself up for something

to open your heart do that right now Someone

need every one of you select something you say

God, you know, you can do all that you want right

now I'm gonna say here am I for this Lord? and

go ahead and pick a big one, because there's

nothing hard for him, all right? And then look

for the prompt of the Spirit, the signal of God,

the touch of God, because somehow God's gonna

interact with you on this. It's not a matter

that you just send up a request and you hope

that God's something happens. That's not how

it happens. You open your heart to him and he

begins to work in you. And so they'll come to

you either a word within your spirit a sense

of confidence You understand the witness of the

Holy Spirit may come to you in that way or sometimes.

It's a touch of God I have people often often

say to me, you know And maybe they had like an

arthritic condition in her neck and those olives

and my neck just got real hot real hot You know

Ben gay thought they started that thing But they

really didn't the Holy Ghost and fire has been

hitting people for a long time Does anyone know

what I mean and I people say that to me They

feel like a fire go with him or other people

have another sense. They have like a cool breeze

come through them or they have, some people describe

it like a chill or like an electrical charge

and you say, well what is it then? I don't know,

it's just a signal from God. That's all, and

you may not feel anything like that. It may be

something altogether different, but what I am

saying is in some way he will touch you. The

woman that had the issue of blood, the Bible

says she felt in her body that she was healed.

Didn't say she had a revelation, didn't say she

had a word from heaven, she felt it. There was

something that happened that she could feel.

She knew it then that that hemorrhage had been

there for 12 years would no longer be in her

body Somehow God gave her that and Jesus felt

it too. He felt it in his body. Am I right? Remember

this story? I mean he stopped in his tracks He

said who touched me and the disciples said how

can you ask who touched me? There's so many people

bumping into he said I don't mean that he said

I felt power go out of me He didn't say I had

a word of knowledge and he said the spirit spoke

to me that happens But it that's not what he

that's not what happened there Sometimes he interacts

with us in a way that you can feel it So look

for a sense of the communication of God the night

either as a word or a touch or something like

that and then the end, what we're gonna wanna

do is we wanna seal that with, I just call it

an amen. Just seal what God is doing within you.

When you say, well how do you seal it? You seal

it by agreeing with him. What I wanna do at the

end is not lay hands on people for healing, I

wanna lay hands on people and amen with them.

I wanna seal that in Jesus' name that this thing

will be established before the presence of the

Almighty God and will be shoved in the devil's

face. All right, so we'll do that move that a

little later and those you that already have

the touch of God from previous services get ready

to launch that right out first but the truth

is is all this service long God has been healing

people some of you got it right now if you'll

look for it you'll see the change or you'll notice

it as the service progresses that is One of the

ways the Holy Spirit does it so are you ready

for God's Word tonight? Good because of the time

factor. I'm not gonna read I have three stories

in the Bible, I'm not gonna read them, I'm just

gonna tell you of the location. You can look

at them, they're there, many of you already know

them. But here's the approach I'm taking. I wanna

talk about three things that people in the Bible

did who got a miracle. Three things that people

in scriptures did. And watch where I'm coming,

who got a miracle. See sometimes we're getting,

we're not getting results because it's not that

we're not asking questions, we're asking the

wrong questions. Here's a common question that

a person will ask within the household of God

when they are not getting something they want

to get. They ask the question, why am I not getting

it? How come I don't get healed? How come when

I get prayed for, I don't get the results that

he or she has? Why is it that when I call upon

the Lord, I don't see the effect? And that's

the problem. The question is wrong. See, because

if you get the answer to the question, why is

it that I'm not getting healed, in the end, this

is what you'll know. You'll know how not to get

healed. Well, great. We need to stop asking the

wrong question. We need to start asking the right

questions That is how can I get healed? All right

instead of how come I'm not getting that right

does that make any sense to you at all? I'm not

sure if that was great English But anyhow did

you catch what I'm what I'm trying to say So

what I want to do is I want to take it from this

direction I want to look at you know three things

that people did in the scripture that actually

got their miracle. So if you need a miracle from

God, quit going down to the religious bookstore

and buying the book 10 Top Reasons Why People

Don't Get Miracles. Find the book that says the

10 Top Reasons Why People Will Get a Miracle

of God, and that's how I'm gonna approach it.

The first one is a Syrian general by the name

of Naaman. You're familiar with him in scripture?

He was a man, and the story is found in 2 Kings

chapter five and the opening 14 verses. And this

is what you have with Naaman. I'm gonna summarize

it and then explain it. What Naaman did that

helped him get a miracle is he humbled himself.

Someone say humbled. He humbled himself and did

what the prophet instructed him to do the story

in scripture quickly says something like this

Naaman was a Syrian general who had many times

rated Israel and as a result He had a young lady

in his household. That was a slave girl that

served him now She seen that her master had a

condition called leprosy Which isn't very well

known anymore in the world, especially in the

United States. So I will I will parallel it It's

not the same but I will parallel it Leprosy in

that day was similar to AIDS of this day. It

was a terrifying disease, it was an incurable

disease, and it was a disease that would bring

you down to a horrible death. And so this man

has this plague. Now she looks at him and she

says, if you only could get to the prophet in

Israel, you could be healed of this disease.

Wow, Naaman hears that and he thinks I'm going

to find this guy. But he takes a route which

is politically correct but not smart. What he

does is he decides to go to the king of Israel.

He sends him a letter. He comes there with a

huge entourage. Now you gotta remember, this

is a Syrian general who's already caused Israel

a lot of headaches. But he comes to the king

and he says, I'm coming to you that I might be

healed of my leprosy. If you remember the story

the king of Israel reads that and he says what

is this guy up to and what's going on in his

head? How can I or anyone heal him of leprosy

really what he's doing is he's coming strategically

just to start a fight but But now Elijah hears

about what's going on and he says, would you

send him to me that he may know that there is

a prophet of God in Israel. And so Naaman now

takes the trip to the prophet's home. Now when

he gets to Elijah's home, he comes with all this

pomp and fancy. He's got all these guys traveling

with him. He's got camel loads of gifts to give

the guy. I mean, he comes to do it upright and

the prophet, watch this, I paraphrase it just

a little bit, but he doesn't even get out of

his lazy boy recliner. He doesn't even put his

remote down to his Sony television set. He just

simply says to one of his servants, would you

please go outside and tell the general to go

jump in the lake? Now again, I'm paraphrasing

it just a little bit. I got that out of the message

translation, no. I really boo boo, I know. But

let me say to you in all fairness, that's the

way that Naaman took it. That's how he felt about

it. He was really offended. He said, who is this

guy? I come all this way. I've got all these

gifts for him. And he won't even come out of

the house and talk with me. He sends some servant

out here. They're telling me to go dip myself

seven times in the Jordan River. He said, man,

we got cleaner rivers than this in my own country.

Why would I go? And he's really mad. And he actually

says, I thought he would come out and he would

wave his hand over the spot and he would call

upon the name of his God, but he has none of

that. I mean, he goes, he's offended. He huffs

it out of there. He is mad. And finally, as he's

traveling, one of his own come to him and says,

General, you know, If this man would have asked

you to do something extraordinarily difficult,

you would have given it everything you had to

make it, but all he does is tell you to do something

simple. Just go dip yourself seven times in that

river. Can't you do that? Hello. And he gets

through that the real message is he needs to

humble himself. So I can do that. So he goes

to the river. Can you feel his situation? The

prophet didn't say if you dip yourself down in

there, you'll be healed. He said you got to go

down seven times I'm sure there's a lot more

to that what we're gonna discuss tonight, but

I'll tell you what was going on There was more

than just getting wet As he walked on in that

river you understand He's got all these other

all these other guys with him right now and they

watch this they watch this great Syrian general

Walk down into that dirty river and he dips,

you know, I can see him just kind of look He

dips himself down. He comes up. He looks no different

at all He dips himself down again, he comes up,

he looks no different at all. Geez. He dips himself

down again, he comes up, he looks, there's no

change at all. I can see these guys on the shore.

They don't say it right in front of his face

because he's the general, but when he goes down

there saying, you know what's happening, don't

you? That is right over there. He's making a

fool out of him is what he's doing. Well, we've

come in and raided their land. Now, he's got

him, he won't even come out and say hi to the

guy. He just tells me to go jump in the lake

and he's down there now and look at him He's

going up and down up and up up up and out look

at him bobbing up and down down there Don't you

know that was a humiliating moment? He kept going

down until that seventh time and when he came

up He was completely healed You know what Naaman

did? He humbled himself Can I tell you something

the thing that stands between most people and

their miracle isn't the devil It's the guy they

see in the mirror every day when they get up

Are you still in the house I Think our pride

Separates us oftentimes From the touch of God

in our life on every kind of level The Bible

says if you'll humble yourself under the mighty

hand of God He will exalt you in due time And

I know and do you understand the biblical process

for humbling is always your part? Not his part.

Now I'm not saying God can't do that, but see

what we do is we take a lot of scripture and

we reverse it, and this is one of those, you

know, we do things like this. We promote ourselves,

we pump ourselves up, we make ourselves known,

we make sure everybody hears about what we are

and what we have done, and then we pray, but

oh God, keep us humble. When actually it's just

the opposite. God says, why don't you let me

take care of the exalting and you take care of

the humbling. That's how it works, and that's

how it works best. That's how you say, Dale,

you're saying that God can't humble a man? No,

I'm not saying God can't humble a man. You just

really don't want him to do that. You're way

better off taking care of it as yourself. You

really are. You say that you can't exalt yourself?

No, you could, but you really don't want to do

that either. He can take care of that much better.

He really can. He can take care of it much better.

In Amon, he... He learned the key of humbling

himself. As a result, he simply got a miracle

of God. Now, in John chapter nine and the open

seven verses, we have another man that got a

miracle from God. It's a man that was blind.

He's been blind from birth. And I'll summarize

it now and then I'll explain it. What this guy

did is he obeyed the simple thing Jesus told

him to do. No indication that he had to humble

himself, but he just obeyed. Naaman had to humble

himself. The blind man, all he had to do was

just do it. He just had to obey what the Lord

told him to do. The story's told by John. how

the disciples are traveling on the road and they

come across the man that's blind. Now, he's not

just blind, he's evidently known. I say he's

known because, I mean, it doesn't take much to

figure a guy is blind, but they know his case

history. They know he's been blind from birth

and they know his parents and they actually ask

the Lord the question because from their mind's

eye someone did something wrong from the bee

that way so they assuming that say to Jesus Lord

whose sin this man or his parents that he was

born blind so they know a whole lot about the

gentleman. Now if you go through the story you'll

find out that actually it wasn't an issue of

that man's sin or his parents but Jesus said

the works of God really should be manifest in

him and so then he spits all over the ground

and he makes of that, makes mud of that, and

he throws it right in the guy's eyes. Boy, that's

neat, isn't it? And then when he gets, then this

doesn't, that's not the half of it. Then what

he does is he tells the guy to go wash it out,

but he sends him to some place that's not right

there. Are you with this thing yet? You know,

we get all, we put Jesus right into a certain

mold, don't we? That this is how he behaves,

and it's always very nice. Isn't it? It makes

us comfortable, very happy. This is the real

God right here, you know? But just think about

this. And I could imagine, there were probably

some people in that crowd, maybe that didn't

know the Lord and know who he was and see him

do something like that. And I could hear a couple

of critical people. You know where they're from.

They're from the church right down the road,

not here. But you know the church I'm talking

about. And they would say this. Now you know

that isn't God. That isn't. They don't even have

good English. They'd say, you know this ain't

God. Because, There was a real man of God down

the road here a little while ago, and there were

two blind men, do you remember the story, that

were following him, and he went into a house,

and they came in right behind him, and he just

asked them very politely, what do you want me

to do for you? And they told him, and he said,

then according to your faith be done to you.

And he just touched their eyes very gently, like

a real gentleman, and they instantly got their

sight. None of this spit in the ground, make

mud, throw it in a guy's face, and tell him to

wash it out down the road somewhere else. You

know that's not God. Are you okay out there?

And if you really think I'm talking about a certain

church on the road, I know nothing about your

town whatsoever. I'm just working here a little

bit. Anyhow, here we go. I wonder what that trip

was like. He's got this drying mud in his face

and he can't find the way. Someone's got to take

him. What's that all about? Hmm. I don't know

if this happened, but he is pretty well known.

People know his case background. I can see two

guys grab him, one by each arm, say, let's take

him to that pool or Shiloh and see what happens.

They start walking him down the road. As he goes

down the road, someone sees him. And they say,

hey, how you doing? Oh, pretty good. Say, what's

that you got all over your face? Oh, well, I

was down the road here a piece and some guy spit

all over the ground through mud and my face told

me if I'd wash it out, I'd see. Oh. Getting desperate,

aren't we? You know what that guy had to do?

He just had to obey. If that happened, and I

know people, you know them too. They'll try to

talk you out of your miracle before you get to

it. Whatever he's told you to do, they'll tell

you how bizarre, how crazy, how weird, how it

makes no sense. That can't be God. But somewhere

along the line, you just gotta make up your mind,

I'm just gonna do what he told me to do. I'm

gonna do what he told me to do, whether my friends

like it, I'm gonna do what he told me to do,

whether my head agrees with it, or it can make

sense. I'm just going to obey him. Here's some

simple truths about obedience. Obedience never

says, I'll do it, Lord, when I'm ready. That's

not what obedience says it just does what he

tells us to do obedience Obedience never says

I'll do it. I will do that but but but but but

my way That's not what obedience does obedience

Doesn't even say I'll do it if it makes sense

If you can explain why I can't tell you how often

God has just simply said they'll do this sometimes

later on I understood why Sometimes later on

it made sense too Sometimes it didn't when he

first said it to me. I just didn't get it But

I just went ahead and did what he told me to

do That's all just did it Did it? I remember

when I was young Lord taught me that just as

a young child when I first started the ministry

I told you I was 15 years of age. I didn't even

have a driver's license and no I didn't drive

someone else was doing the driving but but I

was traveling with a singing group from a Bible

college and and central, Missouri I didn't sing,

they figured that out fast. But I didn't know

how to believe God for miracles and declare His

word, so that was my part. I would preach and

minister healing, they would sing. My brother

got married that summer, so I had to fly back

to New York. We were traveling throughout the

Midwest. I flew back to... part of the wedding

party, and then I was getting just a bus, right,

because it wasn't that far, just to go back into

Ohio and catch up with the group. No, I was catching

a flight, that's what it was, a flight to go

back. And I remember that having not a lot of

experience in traveling at that time, I didn't

think much about booking the flight ahead of

time. So the next day I just got up, picked up

the phone and called the airport and said I'd

like to get a flight. out of Buffalo into the

Mansfield area and they said, oh we're all, we're

full, we're completely full. But the word of

the Lord had come to me just before I picked

the phone up and he said get out of town today.

So when I picked up the phone they told me it

was completely full and my parents were there

in the room at that time because that was in

the days, and does anyone remember when telephones

were actually attached to the wall? Remember

that they actually had a wire. Oh, this is the

truth. I know everybody under 40 say no, you're

kidding Yeah, no, it's truth. You had to go to

one place on the planet to make a call in your

house That's where it was, you know, so anyhow

So they overheard the whole conversation when

I hung up the phone and they and I remember my

dad said well I guess you know, we'll have to

try for a flight tomorrow So no I says we're

flying out today and my mother said behold it

didn't they just tell you that there are no more

flights I see how that's what they said, but

the spirit told me to go All right, so now you

know I am a crackpot right there, huh? But that's

what I said He told me to go and it was about

a 45 minute drive to get to the airport I said,

so let's let's go. Well, they were my parents

my god They were tremendously gracious. So they

got me in the car and we drove on up there and

I remember when I went to the ticket desk and

and and I said to the person I'd like to have

a ticket to fly out today into Ohio and they

said Oh where we are completely booked. There

are no flights left or seats left on a plane

for today I said could you mind would you mind

telling me where the gate is? And they said when

that was back in the days when you could really

go to the gate I know some of you say, no, that's

not possible. Yeah, you could, you could just

go to the gate. So I said, just, would you mind

telling me where the gate is? So I went to the

gate, and I went up to the gate, and the person

there, I said, I'd like a ticket to get on the

plane. They said, oh my, the plane's completely

full. I said, well, I'll tell you what, I'll

be sitting right over there, and before the plane

takes off, you'll want to call me. And I just,

I'm 15 years old. And my parents are standing

there saying, that's not our kid, that's not

our kid. No, they really weren't. And we just

went over there and sat down and then just before

they flew, they called me over and said, oh boy,

we happen to have a seat open. Oh my. Now what

was that? What was that? He said, oh, you had

great faith. No, you know what it was? I was

just learning to be obedient. He said, go. And

the seat opened. You say, oh well, it was by

chance. Well, guess what? I could stand here

the rest of the night and tell you more by chances.

That have happened to me my whole life through

when I've just listened to what he said and the

door would open the door Would open the door

would open see I'm talking about it in far as

far as healing but the truth is this one I'm

teaching you will work in every area of your

life if you'll just learn to obey People get

miracles when they humble themselves people get

miracles when they just do What he tells them

to do and by the way you'll find like in the

case of Naaman that he'll never tell you to do

something That you have to be Superman to do

He'll just tell you something simple It's an

issue of obedience not of accomplishment Yeah

All right, here's the last one. It's found in

the Gospel of Luke, the eighth chapter. The story's

told in verse 43 to 48. We've actually referred

to it a moment ago. And this is a woman who had

a hemorrhage for 12 years. And let me tell you

what she did. This woman that had the incurable

hemorrhage pushed through. Would someone say

pushed through? She pushed through. Naaman had

to humble himself. The blind man, he had to obey.

The woman that had the hemorrhage of blood, the

issue of blood, she simply had to push through.

The story is told that Jesus is on his way to

the home of a very important man to heal his

only daughter who is dying. A tremendous crowd

is following him, a simple unnamed woman with

a disease for 12 years that was causing her to

hemorrhage. pushed her way through that crowd

just to touch the hem of his clothes. She said

within herself, if I can just touch the hem of

his garment, I shall be made whole. That's what

she said. Now, to get through to him, she had

to push through that crowd. And may I suggest

to you, because you know the story, I'm gonna

suggest to you, and I think you'll see it's pretty

obvious, she had to do more than push through

a crowd of people. She had to push through her

disappointments. She's had this thing for 12

years. She has heard time after time, here's

a guy with a solution, here's a person with a

cure, here's a guy with a fix. and she has gone

to physician after physician after physician.

She has spent the wealth of money she had right

down to nothing. No one has been able to help

her and she hasn't even plateaued with it. She's

now broke and she's getting worse. I'm gonna

suggest to you that after 12 years of dealing

with the same problem and getting worse and having

tried everything you ever heard of to get well

and none of it has happened, you got disappointments

all over you. and most people are ready to throw

the towel in. But she pushed through that disappointment

and said if I can just touch him, just the border

of his government. She wasn't asking for his

attention, she wasn't asking for him to pray

over her, she wasn't even asking for him to look

at her. She actually snuck up from behind and

just touched. the border of his garment. She

said, if that's all I can do, I will be made

well. Here's a woman that learned how to push

through her times of disappointments and her

many failures to getting well. Can I suggest

to you that she had to push through the laws

and the rules of her culture that would have

kept her from coming to Jesus. If you know something

about Jewish law at that point in time, with

the condition that she was in, she was not allowed

to be out in public. And she definitely was not

allowed to be in physical contact with other

people. That would risk her very life, even a

stoning. She had no business moving out through

that crowd. Some of you are gonna have to push

through your disappointments if you're gonna

get miracles from God. And some of you are gonna

have to push through some of the religious junk.

that would stand between you and Jesus. And believe

me, that's a big deal right now in the earth.

They may not be Jewish laws that people are dealing

with, but Christians have worked out their own

laws. That will keep you from getting right through

to heaven some of them have to do with the cultural

issues that we deal with they're not even necessarily

religious issues, but there are cultural things

that we have that separate us from getting through

and touching the master and and if you're going

to experience a miracle from God and some cases

you're going to have to push through that kind

of thing and I suggest to you that she had to

push through people and by that I don't just

mean their bodies I'm talking about the fear

of men you see people will stand in the way of

of you getting through to Jesus, but only if

you let them. Now I'm just going to stretch it

a little bit here tonight because this is my

last service and I get to fly away. But I have,

I've not been around forever, but in the last

40 some years I have heard some stuff. from church

people and from people who don't go to church

anymore. And I've heard this stuff of, you know

I can't worship and I'm not going to church anymore.

I can't serve God because I got hurt. Excuse

me, but I'm from New York and I'm very cold.

I got hurt by that usher. He would not let me

sit where I wanted to sit. I got hurt by that

Sunday school teacher, that small group leader,

by that preacher, by that, you know, they weren't

kind. They didn't shake my hand. They didn't

love on me. They didn't come in time when I called.

Let me explain something to you. Can I tell you

something? You can treat me like a piece of dirt.

You can walk over me. You can bad mouth me. You

can run my family down. You can tell lies about

me. You can do whatever you want to do. but I'm

just not gonna go to hell over you. I'm still

gonna serve the Lord. That's just the way it

comes down. You can be as rude as you want, really,

as unkind and uncaring, but I'm still gonna serve

him. All right, I'm through with that. Just a

thought, she had to push through people. People

who would have looked at her and said you have

no business coming to him. Look at you, look

at the condition you're in, you're unclean. He's

on his way to the home of a very important man

to heal his little girl that's ready to die.

And who are you to come up here and take even

one moment of his time? Do you hear what I'm

really saying? That's what was coming. She had

to push through that, because you know that was

going through her mind. You know she had a deal

with that voice that was saying to her you are

not worthy You have no place you're way out of

order all of the religious culture. You know

has told you that what you're doing is wrong

and Who are you? This in even in Scripture unnamed

girl That would press through to him But she

did press through didn't she? She got past all

of that I'm gonna ask you something. What are

you willing to push past? What are you willing

to push past? See, I made up my mind. I said

it real crass just a moment ago, but I'll push

past anything to get through to him. I will.

I'm not gonna let anyone, anything, any ideology

or religions keep me from who Jesus really is.

Wow. Let me give you one last thought on this.

I'll tell you something else she had to push

through. She had to push through her fear of

declaring, I got it. It's mine. And confessing

to what the power of God had done. You see, she,

like us, had to own it. She had, if you're ever,

listen, you know that, even if you're born again,

you know what I'm talking about. Let the redeemed

of the Lord say so. That's what the Bible says.

There's a purpose in why that we are declaring

that, because it is in the declaration, in the

confession of it, that we come to the place of

ownership of what God has done, you see? And

that's how these things get sealed in an individual's

life. One's confession doesn't actually create

the miracle. That's God's part, but our confession

establishes it as being ours. it brings us into

the place of ownership. Did that make sense to

you? She got her miracle when she pushed through

her obstacles and confessed her miracle. If you

remember, when Jesus stopped, when she touched

him, right? Just touched the border of his clothes

from behind. When he stopped at that moment,

he said, who touched me? Now, why did he do that,

all right? Why, because he was bringing her to

a point of sealing this thing. And if you'll

notice, I tell you, she had to push through,

making the confession to it. We know that because

he had to push for her to come forward. The disciples

stepped up. They're the ones who said there's

people touching you on every side How can you

say who touched me and he says no, you don't

understand. I'm not talking about someone physically

touching me He says I felt and the King James

uses this language as as I felt virtue go out

of me the word virtue There is the Greek word

do to miss which is power supernatural miraculous

power He said I felt power go out of me now She

felt the very same thing as the Bible says it

that when she touched him that the fountain of

her blood and I used the King Jamie English again

the fountain of her blood dried up and she felt

in her body she was healed of that plague. She

could tell it because she could feel it. Something

happened between both of them, bang, just like

that, and he said, I wanna know who did it. And

he had to push for it, and finally the scripture

says that she came trembling before him and told

him all the truth. So I know she had to push

through this thing. Many people are in that way

right to this very hour, where they can tell

that God is doing something in their life, but

everything in them wants to put a cap on it and

say don't talk about it. Let's give it a month

and see. And if it's still that way after a month,

then we'll give glory to him. Then we'll agree

with him. Here's the problem with that. You miss

the window in the moment of your miracle. Most

of you, you that are saved understand this, that

when he convicted you of sin, when he called

you to repentance, you couldn't sit there and

say, okay, I really feel the convicting power

of God. Well, I think it's the convicting power

of God. I'll tell you, I'll wait for 10 days

and if I still feel this way, then I'll call

Jesus Lord in my life. You know good and well

you would have missed that moment. That window

was there, the dealing of God was there, and

the moment to seal what Calvary had provided

for you had now come. And you needed to step

up to the plate and say, this is mine. I buy

into this, I receive this. Are you catching my

language? I own this thing right now. He is my

Lord. Not he is the Savior, he is my Savior.

Not he is Lord, he is my Lord. You take that

into that personal sense and it seals that thing

in your life. She had to push through to come

to that point and say, it's mine. This happened

to me. And when she did that, then he finished

the rest of it and told her, daughter, go your

way. and you're healed of the plague. What a

marvelous thing is that thing was sealed within

her life. This is what people in scripture did.

that actually got miracles of God. Some of them

had to humble themselves, others had to obey.

Some of you are gonna get to do both of those,

all right? And then some just had to push through.

There's no indication that she was in disobedience,

neither was the other guy he did obey, but there's

nothing like the Lord had instructed her to do

this or do that, and we don't have any indication

she had to humble herself. She just had to push

through what it took to connect and respond.

Would you stand with me please all over the room

right now.
