or something. You've had pains that have

been just kind of going through all

through your body. And in fact, the

pains are there right now. You're having

what's caused it. I don't know if it's a

disease, an arthritis, if you've done

things. And we do give you praise and

thanks for it in the name of Jesus.

Now, power of God's coming on you right

now. I don't know if you can tell that

or not, but I can. Hallelujah. Somebody

says, "Why didn't you have him come to

the front?" Didn't need to. He got about

that far and some power of God started

coming on him.

>> Hallelujah.

Glory to God. Jesus took authority over

his spirit with one particular

individual in the gospels. He said, "Go

and and go and come back no more." That

just kind of rose up on the inside. Go.

And that stuff comes back no more.

>> Come back no more. Don't care what it

was. Don't care how bad it was. Doesn't

matter.

somebody else uh I can't even tell you

what that's called now, but there's a

there's a something in your back, and

it's a common issue. It goes uh down

from your back down one leg. actually

goes right down almost into what I'd say

almost down into your ankle. Um, what is

that?

>> Sciatic. Thank you. Most a few people

have dealt with that. Thank you. The

sciatic. There's something about the

sciatic nerve. You've done something

about that. And it's it's been going

down. I I uh Well, it's went down one

leg or the other, but it seems to be

going down your right leg. And it goes

down not only to your knee, but it goes

down actually it's headed down almost

into your ankle at times. the sciatic

nerve. So, I'm guessing you've had that

looked at, adjusted, I don't know

just just stand to your feet. You having

trouble with the sciatic nerve.

Hallelujah. All right. All right. Glory

When uh Jesus did worked his first

miracle at the marriage feast in Canaan

of Galilee and the the governor of the

feast said most people serve the bad

stuff uh good stuff first, then the bad

stuff at the end. you do things

different. You saved the best for last.

That's the nature of Jesus. He just

keeps saving the best for last because

it keeps getting better. So, we thank

you for it. We trust you for utterance

in the name of Jesus. We thank you for

those that have been healed in their

body. And thank you for the other

healings that are taking place through

the room. Thank you that there going to

be people that are going to get home

this afternoon and realize the pain that

wasn't before isn't. Hallelujah. It's

going, going, going.

>> Hallelujah. There's a few more. Just few

more. Few more. Few more just across the

room. A few more just got a healing in

their body. Hallelujah. And I don't know

who that is watching over the internet.

Whoever you are, reach out and take

yours right now. If you want to put your

hand on the computer screen, if you just

want to raise your hand up, whoever you

are, take that healing right now.

There's no distance or time in the

spirit. If Paul could lay hands on a

piece of cloth, Acts the 19th chapter,

they could take that cloth to the sick

and lay it upon them. the sickness would

depart and the evil spirits would go out

of. If they if God could do that in Acts

the 19th chapter, he can do it in Acts

the 29th chapter.

>> In case you haven't got it, that's where

we are. This is we're we're living in

the 29th chapter. Praise God.

Hallelujah. Glory to God. All right.

Good. Thank you. Appreciate our our

worship team here. Glory to God.

Hallelujah.

All right. Glory to God. Well, we'll go

a little further and we'll just end up

with You never get done. You just find a

place to unhook and pick up a week or

two later. So,

uh, let's open our Bibles,

Bible, iPad, watch, notebook,

what, whatever you're reading from. But

I suggest you have something to read

from.

I'll say that again. I strongly suggest,

I don't know about you, I find out when

I when I got my life right with God.

November 1972, I had a Bible. I just

didn't know you're supposed to read it.

Is a Bible I got I think I got in church

when I was a kid. And I don't think I it

had a zipper on it. I don't think I ever

unzipped that thing. I don't even know

where the thing went. No idea. But I

tell you when I found out uh and I

started reading reading the the Bible,

it was a King James and uh man, I could

barely read English, you I mean, and uh

finally somebody gave me a a a green

hard coverver living Bible. And uh

that's all I needed to get started with.

And I found out you could God said what

he meant, meant what he said. He said

it, he'll do it. He spoke it. He'll make

it good. If we if we'll just believe it

and do it, God will he'll honor that.

He's just looking for somebody that'll

connect with him. And I finally said,

"God, I'm your candidate. I'm the guy

for this. I don't know if anybody else

knows what I found, but I was so glad to

find out he'll meet my needs, pay my

bills, heal my body, fix my head, fix my

he'll just, you know, whatever's going

on. I was so glad to find that out. And

I've been with them ever since. And I am

I'm a word guy. Okay. Somebody said to

me one time, "I don't need all that Holy

Ghost stuff. I'm a word person." I said,

"I don't know about you. I'll take

both."

>> Jesus was the word.

>> Okay? In the beginning was the word. The

word was with God. The word was God the

same as in the beginning with Jesus was

the word. But Jesus the word didn't do

any miracles until he's about 30 years

old. Baptized in the Jordan, came up out

of the water praying. The heavens

opened. The spirit of God descended in

bodily form like a dove upon him. And he

went out and started working miracles.

The word didn't work miracles until the

Holy Ghost and the word came together.

>> I think that's just good advice for all

of us. Let's be holy ghost and word

people. I've got to get going here or

we'll just be in this for till

Christmas. So anyway, [clears throat] um

we we'll look at Mark the 5th chapter.

We we I think we were here maybe a few

weeks ago and we'll come we'll swing

back around here. Mark chapter 5, but uh

Mark 5 · chapter mention

to go back through we we just had a good

a good time of of worship, praise and

worship here this morning. I like that.

You know, a lot of times you go by a

church and they'll say, you know, Sunday

morning worship service, such and such a

time. But I've been to some of those

churches and there's no worship time. I

kind of like it. If they're going to say

it, let's do it. But anyway, anyway, I'm

going to take a little side trip here

for a few minutes. If we go back through

there, we just took time to worship. And

that's that's really what we do. We

worship God. We take time to get into

his presence. We thank him for what he's

done. We thank him for what he's doing.

We're grateful to him. Think about that.

creator of the universe. He's not only

with us, he's around us. He's in the

place, but he's

in us. Greater is he that's in you than

he that's in the world. So, so anyway,

going back through there, you know, we

we just take time to worship God. We we

could just do that from now through

eternity and we wouldn't have enough

time to give him what he's worthy and

what he's due. But anyway,

going back through there, um we uh

we we take time to praise and worship

God. Good good illustration of that this

morning. Didn't know we were going to go

there. Glad we did. But um you know but

the same but on the other side of this

thing most of us as humans we not only

take time to praise him worship him

thank him give him all the glory he's

worthy and honor and so on but most of

the time we need God to do something.

Okay we we either need or want him to do

something. Most of the time it's both.

Sometimes we need him to help us with

our needs. Sometimes we need to help him

heal with healing in our bodies

sometimes. But usually by being humans

on planet Earth until we step over to

the other side, most of the time we need

God to do something.

>> We need it. We need him to do something.

I I can think of a number of things

right now that I I am looking for God to

take care of. Anybody anybody else in

here got one of those or a dozen of

those or whatever? Well, it's just kind

of part of being human because we we are

a spirit. We have a soul. We live in a

body. We live on planet Earth. Satan's

the god of this place

of planet Satan is the god of planet

earth and and uh but he's not over he's

not god of the church so there's nothing

he can do. We're the ones that have the

dominion, the power, the authority. And

I want I want to get back around to that

in a few weeks time. I want to get back

around to the believer's authority. what

we've got,

>> what we have, what's been imparted and

planted on the inside of us, what we

have available to us that we so seldom

ever step over into, a lot of times, you

know, we're shooting ourselves in the

foot because we don't do what we're

equipped to do. Man, once we find out

who we are in him,

>> I spent time knowing who I was in me,

and it wasn't real pleasing. I started

reading my Bible. I found out who I was

in me. That's one thing. But I started

reading in my Bible and I found out who

I was in him. And when I started mixing

those two together, putting aside who I

am in me and started watching who I am

in him, when I when I got hold of that,

all of a sudden, my life took a turn the

other direction. Okay? In him, I live

and I move and I have my being. I'm the

righteousness of God. In him, I I'm a

new creature in Christ Jesus. Old things

are passed away. Behold, all things are

become new. And all things are of God.

And I've been given the ministry of

reconciliation. And I go tell people

you're not going to die and go to hell

cuz all the sins you committed. The only

thing that'll send you to hell is the

not receiving the one that paid the

price. So you don't go have to go to

hell.

>> So anyway, that's all extra.

But anyway, anyway, going back through

there, we we we need to see God do

things. We we long to see him do things.

But most of us, as we've said before,

most of us have a tendency to sit like a

a lump on a log and wait for God to come

by. We kind of do our kumbaya thing,

waiting for the Lord to come by and and

you know, God will come by and I heard

about how he he reached out and touched

so and so and he healed so and so. And

so often we're looking around for God to

come by and do for us something we ought

to be doing for us because he already

did for us what all he really needs to

do for us.

>> Do I need to say that again? You're all

looking at me kind of funny. So often

we're trying to get God to do something

and if we were listening real close,

we'd probably hear him say, "I already

did that. I paid the price. I took care

of you. I I I met your needs. I I I

fixed your finances. I healed your body.

I

>> and so often we're trying to twist his

arm to get him to do something that he

already did. So why are we trying to get

him to do it again if he's already paid

the price?

>> And if we understand who we are in

Christ, who I am in him, in me it's not

that good. Okay, I am not the sharpest

thing since, you know, sliced bread. I

understand that. But when I found out

from the Bible what the Bible says,

>> I've been delivered from the power of

darkness. I've been translated into the

kingdom of his dear son. I am so

thankful for what he's done. So often I

get back here wondering why God's not

doing something when he doesn't have to

do something because he already did do

something 2,000 years ago and he's just

looking for me to take hold of that.

>> It's not my message for today anyway.

That's this is going to come down the

road a few months maybe. But anyway,

but going back through there, we we need

to see God do things and and a lot of

times we're we're kind of push pushing

it, trying to get God, you know, God, I

need you to do this. I need you to do

that and oh Lord, you know, things are

in they're in such a mess in my family

and there's such a mess in my finances

and God, I got a mess in my in my in my

physical body. And and if we look

through the scriptures, most of what

we're pushing him to do, him already did

do it.

And we and we're looking he we're

looking for him to do something. He's

looking for us to take something. Now,

we have to understand though that going

back through there because he is not

only God, he's also our loving, kind,

heavenly father. And there's something

about a father, you know, I I look back

when I was a kid and realize my my dad

did a lot of stuff for me that he just

did. I didn't necessarily ask him to.

I'm not real sure I needed him to, but

just because he was father, he did that.

>> All right. And so if we look at that

that God's got this father side and

there is a side of God where he will uh

sometimes God will just reach out and do

some things just because he's a loving

good kind he heavenly father and and and

don't let that bother you if he does

that. And and I've not I don't know

about you but I've noticed the younger I

was in Christ the more he stepped out

and did things like that. And the more I

grew up in Christ, the more he expected

me to reach out and take some things

like that and not just get it, but go

out and deliver it to some other people.

>> But I I mean, for instance, you go

there's this there's this amazingly

wonderful, kind, compassionate side of

God where, you know, he doesn't have a

problem with, oh, you got needs again,

boy, you are a pain. God doesn't have

any pains. Even if I thought I was for a

while, he doesn't have any of pains like

that. But sometimes, you know, it's not

it's not like God's going you again. It

doesn't work like that. But sometimes

God will just because because he cares

about us and because he knows maybe we

don't know some things we're going to

know if we get down the road a little

bit. Sometimes we don't know some things

today we're going to know next week

>> or next month or next year. So there's

some things we're going to get hold of

even if we I'm not even going to ask if

any hands, but are there things you wish

you knew now? you wish you knew, but you

really don't know now, but you're going

to know eventually. There's there's

things in Christ, things in the plan of

God that you're going to get hold of,

but maybe it's not real clear to you

right now. There's a side of God where

he says, "Okay, I'm going to I am going

to pick up and carry you for a little

bit.

>> I'll take care of some things for a

little bit. All right. Now, if I'm going

to sit back, like I said, sit by the

fire singing kumbaya, waiting for God to

come and take care of that. It may not

happen because that's not the original

plan

>> for me to sit and do nothing so he can

do everything.

>> He already did everything

>> in him. He I live and I move and I have

my being. But if we go back through

there, there is there is this this

wonderful amazing side to God where he

has just left himself room in the

scriptures. He always stays scriptural.

He's left himself room in the scriptures

to do some things for us, in us, to us,

through us, taking care of us. He's left

himself room to do some things like

that. Probably if we went around the

room, every one of us has had probably

half a dozen of those.

>> Maybe this week, I don't know. But

anyway, a lot of us have had some things

like that. But you go back through and

God shows us that. For instance, you go

back through and John the uh fifth

chapter says we're starting around verse

two. Now, there is in Jerusalem by the

sheep market a pool which is called in

the Hebrew Hebrew tongue Bethesda. Okay,

there's there I'll go through that

again. There is in Jerusalem by the

sheep market a pool which is called in

the Hebrew tongue Bethesda. Okay, there

it's on the screen. Uh it's called

Bethesda. It's having five porches. They

say these porches were fairly good size.

History tells us, legend tells us there

was a wealthy man that saw all these

people. There was a great multitude of

people at this pool of Bethesda. Sick,

lame, poor. You know, there was a very

wealthy man that came and built these

leantos so people wouldn't have to lay

out in the sun because there's one man,

we're going to talk about him in just a

minute. He'd been sick for 38 years.

That's a long time to be in the sun. If

you've been around Oklahoma the last

three weeks,

>> warm's warm.

So anyway, in going through there, it

says, "Now there is in Jerusalem by the

sheep market of the pool, which is

called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda,

having five porches. In these five

porches lay great multitude, great, not

just a bunch of people, but a great m

how many is a great multitude. It's more

than a multitude. It's a great mult

there's a great multitude of people." Uh

says right there, you can read it with

me in case you don't have your Bible

with you. There's a great multitude of

uh sick folk, blind, halt, withered,

waiting. They're all waiting for the

moving of the water. For at a certain

season, an angel would come down and

trouble the waters. Come down. He didn't

come up. This he didn't come. He didn't

bring it up out of the out of hell. He

came down. Angels aren't healers.

They're messengers.

>> You don't thank the pizza guy for making

the pizza. All he does is deliver it.

Messengers. Angels are not the ones

doing the miracles. They just deliver

some things. But he goes on it and says

uh there were there was a there was a

great multitude of people out of all it

says right there um angel it says I'll

I'll start for the sake of time for an

angel went down at a certain season into

the pool and troubled the waters and

whosoever first stepped in after the

after the troubling of the waters was

made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

Now think about this here's a great

multitude of impotent folk by this pool

of Bethesda. Bethesda means house of

mercy. This is the mercy of God. This is

under the law, under the Old Testament.

And ever so, they didn't have a

calendar. Nobody knew when the angel was

coming. Nobody, they didn't have the,

you know, the the fifth Sunday. They

didn't have the second Tuesday. They

didn't know when the angel was coming.

They just knew every now and then this

angel's coming down out of heaven with

something for somebody. And and when he

did, he troubled the waters. And

whosoever then first first first

whoever then stepped in first was made

whole of whatsoever disease he had.

Okay. So we see this this you know this

great uh move going on here and the

place people are coming from everywhere

and but it goes there and says there was

a there was a man that been he was he'd

been sick 30 30 think about that 38

years. Do you know how long 38 years is?

It's a long time. Here's a guy that's

been there. I We don't know how long

he's been at the pool of Bethesda, but

he's been sick 38 years. And he's there

now. He's sick now. He's maybe under a

lean too now. We don't know what he's

doing, but he's sick. He's been sick 38

years. Jesus didn't walk up there. The

the the man didn't say, "I see Jesus

coming. I need a healing in my No, he

didn't say that. He's just laying there

38 years sick." Okay? And Jesus saw him

and knew he'd been a long a long time in

that case. And he said to him, he comes

up there and he says, "Wilt thou," King

James,

"Wilt thou be made whole?" This guy

goes, "Sir,

I he didn't say, "Sir, I'd love to be."

No, he said, "Sir, I have no man when

the waters are troubled to put me into

the pool, but while I'm coming, another

always stepeth down before me." So this

guy's been sick 38 years. He's been by

this pool for who knows how long. Every

time he sees the waters get troubled,

somebody gets there ahead of him.

Apparently, somebody had maybe somebody

they could hire to pick him up, carry

him in. I don't know. All I know is he

said, "Every time the waters get

troubled, I don't get there in time.

Somebody always gets there ahead of me."

So Jesus said, "Is it your will to be

healed?" He said, "I can't."

You ever talk to one of those folks?

>> You is it your will to be healed? Well,

I would, but I I can't. I've been I've

been I've I've had them lay hands on me

until I've got friction burns on my

forehead. I'm probably never going to

get anything. You know, I tell I'm too

slow. I'm too dumb. Something just isn't

going to work. Somebody always gets

ahead of me. God just must like somebody

better.

So, he just says, "I got no man to put

me into the pool while another, you

know, when the angel troubles the water,

but while I'm coming, another always

stepeth down before me." Jesus didn't

say, "Well, I'm going to set you up on a

14-week correspondence course.

Get your computer out there and you I

want you to open this up. I'm going to

have somebody come by and, you know, run

you through the scriptures. We'll we'll

get you better in probably a year or

two, but just hang on. It's been 38.

What's a couple more?"

What'd he say? He said, "I have no man

to w when the waters are troubled to put

me into the pu the pool, but while I'm

coming, another always stepeth down

before me." What' Jesus say? He just

said, "Get up and walk."

>> Yeah.

>> There's no faith in operation.

You get down the road here a couple

verses and he's carrying he's carrying

his bed on the Sabbath. And the

religious leaders go, "What are you

doing?" He said, "I'm carrying my bed."

He said, "You can't do that." He said,

"I I can't help it. The guy that healed

me told me to do it." They said, "Who

was it?" And he said, "I have no idea

who it was. Some guy walked up said,

"Get up. Take up your bed and walk." So

I took it and walked. And I don't know

who the guy was. He did. It wasn't like

he saw Jesus and he got healed. He just

Somebody walked up and said, "Get up if

you want to." The power of God came on

him. He got up and he walked out of

there perfectly healed. The next day

they see him walking. He goes, "I don't

know who that was. The guy told me to

get up, so I did. Been sick 38 years and

I am perfectly well." Now

the part I want to get to is there was

no that we can tell. There was no faith

involved in this at all. He wasn't

expecting anything. He wasn't planning

on anything. He was just existing until

time to go on home. You know, he's not

getting anything. But Jesus walks up

there with okay, no special anything, no

special uncction or anything. He walks

up there says, "Is it your will to be

healed? I can't." Says, "Well, get up

and walk anyway." He got up and walked

away perfectly whole. There is this

side. Jesus did that. H the ninth

chapter of Mark's uh John's gospel,

there was a a man that was blind from

birth and the disciples said, "Master,

who did sin? This man or his parents?"

Said he's born blind. Jesus said,

"Neither this man sin nor his parents,

neither one of them." It was not a sin.

It was just sin on the human race.

But that the works of God should be made

manifest in him. I must work the works

of him that sent me while it's still

day. The night cometh when no man can

walk work. And and when he had thus

spoken, he spat on the ground, made clay

of the spittle, anointed the man's eyes,

and said, "Go wash in the pool of

Silom." And he did. Legend tells us

there was a boy that led him to the pool

of Silom. Okay? Because he couldn't see.

When he came out of the water, he came

back seeing. So there were times, now he

didn't say he was crying out for

healing. The disciples said, "Master,

who sinned, this guy or his parents?"

Jesus said, "Neither one. That wasn't

the issue. It's just it's just it's sin

in the human race. That's what did

this." Okay. The sin in the human race

caused it and the redeemer is going to

settle it.

>> So anyway, so we see so we can we could

go on and on. Okay. Uh Mark chapter 5,

Mark 5 · chapter mention

chapter 6, chapter 7, chapter 8. We we

can go through and see certain cases

about 20 22 23% of the time Jesus got

somebody a miracle in his ministry.

There's about a quarter of the time

somebody got a freebie.

I don't know about you, I like freebies.

>> Anybody in here ever gotten a freebie? I

mean, you were just sitting there

minding your own business and all a

sudden the power of God came on you and

you're going, "Wow, I am better."

Anybody in here ever got one of those?

Aren't those wonderful?

>> Don't you wish you'd get one of those

every time? No. But anyway,

I'm not sure how far we're going to get

with this this morning, but Whoa. Yeah.

So anyway, but the part I want to get to

is a few times about 25 23% of the time

if you go through and count it, people

are going to get something just out of

the wonderful, merciful, loving kindness

of the father god.

>> And when you get one of those, you're

really thankful for. We had a friend of

ours that was in a meeting here,

goodness, number of years ago. I think

it was at a Fire for the Nations if I

remember right. And they had they had

such severe back problems they rented a

a a van and had somebody put them in the

back and drove them halfway across the

country to get them into the meetings

down here. They had a very severe back

problems. They're sitting on the front

row and the power of God came on them.

Didn't even talk. It wasn't even a part

of what was going on in the meeting.

Just sitting minding their own business

on the front row. A minister of the

gospel.

Okay. Not somebody looking for a

freebie. They just wanted to come get in

the meetings. had to get put in the back

of a van and driven down here in pain,

sitting on the front row in pain in the

service. Power of God came on them

perfectly, instantly healed. Within a

week's time, they're back out playing

golf and last I knew they're still doing

great, still doing wonderful. So, there

are times like that. It's not do you

qualify or do you not qualify? I don't

know anything about any of that. I just

know there's this merciful side of God

and sometimes he'll do that. Well,

when's he going to do it? I don't know.

It's this I don't like to use the word

sovereign because it gets so abused.

>> God's a sovereign God. No, he doesn't

sovereignly steal. He doesn't

sovereignly kill. He doesn't sovereignly

destroy. He doesn't sovereignly till

figure out what you can put up with.

>> Sovereign just simply means he's got a

side to him where he'll step out because

of his goodness and do something for you

didn't even know you had coming.

>> You didn't deserve it. You didn't earn

it. You didn't buy it. You didn't

purchase it. You didn't pay for it. you.

It just came on you. Somebody says, "I

don't know why. I don't know." Ask him

if he tells you just enjoy it. Don't

even tell me. I don't want to know. But

the part I want to get to, have you

found Mark chapter 5 yet?

Mark 5 · chapter mention

We're not going to get anywhere.

Eventually, we'll get there. I've been

trying to get here for about a month.

We'll get back around there eventually.

But going back through here, there is

this side where God will do some things.

We had a lot of hands in here. Somebody

said, "I got a free I got a freebie,

man. I just, you know, I did when I I

meant I was just barely walking with

God." I was at the in the fellowship

hall of the American Baptist Church. If

there's if you're

if you're going to get a miracle, it's

probably not in that hall down there. I

don't know. I'd never heard about

anybody getting one. I I don't know. I

don't mean that mean. I just, you know.

Anyway, and um man, I didn't know. I you

know I man I was having allergy problems

and I was needing to go back and get a

weekly injection shot for that and all

that and all of a sudden all these

things start happening. I everybody

we're a bunch of young people in there.

We're just we're just popcorn prayers.

One here, one here, one here. We don't

get any answers. We just pray and

without thinking I I just said, "God, do

you Man, I need I need to get back and

get my my allergy injection. I need a

healing. Do you ever do things like

that?" It was a negative request. It was

a question and instantly all the

symptoms left never came back. I said,

"God, that's great. That's re do you do

this all the time." So anyway,

so going back through there, there there

is this amazingly wonderful

kind, compassionate side of the father

god because he's father and he loves us

and he takes care of us and he'll do

some things for us, but he doesn't want

us sitting back just waiting for that to

be the way we get everything. God wants

more out of us. You know, when when he

made us new creatures in Christ, he had

a plan for our lives, not just to keep

going over and trying to figure out how

to get something. He wants us to go out

and make something happen.

So, anyway, that being the case, um, in

Mark chapter 5, let's look at a couple

Mark 5 · chapter mention

things in here. Um, what we really find

out is God's plan is not for us to sit

back and wait for something to happen.

You know, God and his one of mercy and

wisdom and all that. Yeah, I'll take it

that way. But God means more for you and

I to make something happen. He He needs

an army of believers. He needs some

folks to make something happen. He He

needs the church to rise up and be the

church. Okay? And so anyway, going back

through here, um sometimes God does just

reach out and do some things like that.

But as a general as a general rule,

okay, I I I can't put a formula on that

for you, but as a general rule, God's

wanting us to not just to go try to get

something to happen, but to make

something happen. God wants us to be

believers,

okay? Not just not just sit back and

sing kumbaya. He's not wanting that.

He's wanting us to live and act, walk,

and talk like believers. So anyway, that

being the case, if we go back through

here, Mark 5:2

Mark 5:2

says, "And there was a certain woman.

There a certain woman had an issue of

blood." Now, we was went through this a

few weeks ago,

but uh my my question is um well, we'll

go through this. Uh Mark 5:2, certain

Mark 5:2

woman had an issue of blood 12 years,

suffered many things, and many 12 years.

So, we've already talked about the guy

at the pool of Bethesda. He'd been sick

38 years. Okay, there's another woman

that been sick for 12 years. uh spirit

of infirmity here. This woman,

Mark 5:2, certain woman had an issue of

Mark 5:2

blood. 12 years, 12 years. We don't know

if this was cancer. We don't know what

it was. God didn't write it in there.

They probably didn't have a name for it

back then. Anyway, woman certain there

was a there was Mark 5:2. certain woman

Mark 5:2

had an issue of blood 12 years suffered

many things of many physicians spent all

she had nothing better but rather grew

worse. So here is a here is a case a a a

surely going to fail not going to work

case. We don't see her with any family.

She's by herself. She doesn't have any

money. Said she spent all of her living.

She's not getting better. She's this is

not a chronic thing. This is a terminal

thing. She's not getting better. She's

getting worse. This thing's not going to

just bother her the rest of her life.

It's going to cut her life short. No

money, no family, no help. Religion

can't help her. The the law couldn't

help her. Going into the synagogue

couldn't help her. Nobody's going to

help her. Okay? She's even considered

unclean under the Levitical law. She's

not She came up to behind Jesus and

touched the hem of his garment. She's

not supposed to touch him because she's

unclean. She's not supposed to touch a

clean person.

If she did, then he's supposed to go be

unclean for a certain period of time.

This is just this woman doesn't have

anything going for her. She might have

had family, but it doesn't look like it

because when she gets to Jesus, there's

nobody helping her to get to him.

Nobody's helping her to crawl up there.

Nobody's got her by the hand. Nobody.

Hey, nobody helping her.

You thought you had it bad.

So, she comes up there. She uh

certain woman had an issue of blood 12

years, suffered many things of many

physician. She'd been to every doctor in

the country. I don't know. They didn't

just have a family physician, man. She'd

been to every doctor around there. I

don't know what they had for help, but

it probably wasn't worth much. Okay.

Suffered suffered many things. Medical

science was painful. It's not real great

today always, but back there. Suffered

many things of many physicians. spent

all she had was re nothing better but

rather grew worse

and now all of a sudden she when she

hears of Jesus she comes from the press

behind and touches his garment for she

said if I if I may touch but his clothes

I shall behold straightway the fountain

of her blood was dried up she felt in

her body she is healed of that plague

Jesus immediately knowing in himself

that virtue or power had flowed out of

him turned him about in the press and

said I knew you're coming I saw

he didn't see her

We have this mentality. God just he, you

know, he just he just knows everything.

Yeah, he does. But to a certain degree,

here's Jesus in his earthly ministry.

She comes in the press behind, touches

his garment, and he stops. He felt power

go out of him. No, my I love I love

reading this because the Bible said

there was a multitude of people

thronging him, but if they're thronging,

they're touching him. But he didn't stop

and say, "Somebody touched me." When he

finally did that, his disciples said,

"Master, you see the multitude thronging

you, and you say who to?" He ignored

them, looked around about to see her

that had done this thing. The woman,

fearing and trembling, knowing what was

done done in her, came and fell down

before him, told him all the truth. He

said, "Daughter,

your faith made you whole." See, the

thing is, it wasn't that somebody

touched him with their hands. Somebody

touched him with their faith.

>> All right? A lot of people touched him

with their hands and nothing happened.

If he'd have said, "My power made you

whole." Everybody would have said, "How

come your power didn't make me whole? I

need a healing." When he said,

"Daughter, your faith made you whole."

Everybody knew why she got healed. They

didn't. She came in faith. They came a

hoping and a praying.

>> She came in the press behind and touched

his garment. Touched the hem of his

garment. She's going to touch and run

because she's not supposed to be out

there in public getting something. When

she touched him, all of a sudden she

felt in her body she's healed of that

plague. When you've been sick for

certain woman has had an issue of blood

12 years, been sick that long and all of

a sudden she touches the hem of his

garment, feels power flow into her body

instantly. She's hit healthy in her body

and Jesus Jesus stops and he says,

"Who touched me? Who touched me?"

Everybody's touching him. Why does he

say, "Who touched me?" because somebody

came in with the touch of faith. He was

looking for and waiting for that. My

question is, what did what did she do? I

want to know what she did. What did this

woman do? Sick, broke, alone, everything

wrong, family's gone, money's gone. What

did she do to be able to come up in the

press behind and touch the hem of his

garment? What did she do? If I can find

what she did to get healed, I can know

what I can do to get healed.

If I know what she did to get healing in

her body, I know what I can tell other

people.

When he said, "Daughter, your faith made

you whole." Like somebody said, people

say, "Well, healing's been done away

with." Nobody's going to say, "Faith's

been done away with."

>> If her faith made her whole, anybody can

tap into that. God's no respector of

persons.

>> So, anyway, we'll go just a few more

minutes here, then we'll finish up. Um,

I I I've wanted to know and I'm I'm just

getting to point A here, so we're not

going to get far. But my question was,

what did what did she do? How did this

woman with everything going wrong,

nothing going right for her? Okay, she's

she's dying. That's all there is. What's

What did she do? See, so often we're

we're looking for God to do something.

Now, none of you do. Nobody here does

that. But so often we're looking for God

to come by and do something for us. I

don't God didn't come by and do

something for her. Jesus stopped and

said, "Who touched me? I want to know

what did she do? If we can just figure

this out, I if I need to see God do

something in my life, he's needing me to

do something to activate that. If we as

believers, if we can find out what God

wants to do, how he wants this done in

our life, if we can activate that, then

we can go through life watching God do

all kinds of things and we can tell

other people how they can get the same

miracles. God wants to do stuff for

people, but he's needing us to do our

part. If I'm going to sit back and just

wait for him to do something, it might

happen, probably it won't. I could be at

the pool of Bethesda, maybe get

something, maybe not. But if I can find

out if I find out what this lady did,

maybe I can do the same thing, get the

same result.

What did she What did this lady do? What

did she do that turned her life around?

Sick 12 years, suffered many things and

many physicians. What did she do that

made the difference? How did this How

did she turn her life around? Okay.

First time I ever heard brother Hagen.

Didn't know who Kenneth Hagen was. I was

at a full gospel businessmen's meeting

and right outside Detroit, Michigan. I

just heard the full gospel businessmen

were full gospel. So, I figured they

must have miracles all the time. I went

in and this guy named Kennethy Hagen is

ministering in there. I don't know who

he is. No idea, but I got a a decent

seat. And he and he stood up and he

said, "Uh, I'm going to teach a message

tonight. I was talking to the Lord

Jesus. He appeared to me in a vision and

I, you know, going through all this. And

he said, I said, Lord, there's something

I feel like you've been trying to get

across to me. I've been reading the

scriptures and there's something you're

trying to get across to me, but I can't

seem to get hold of what it is. Would

you tell me what that is? Said Jesus

turned around and said, "Sure, I'd be

glad to." He says, "If you look at Mark

Mark 5:25

5, verse 25 through verse 34, you're

going to find this woman wrote her own

ticket with God." I thought, "Huh?"

I had no idea what he's talking about. I

just glad I was going to heaven. Okay.

Didn't know anything about writing your

own ticket with God. When he said that

though, that stuck with me. That was 19

about 197

early 1974. That stuck with me from that

day on. I thought if you can write your

own ticket with God. I'm going to start

writing tickets.

>> I'm not going to sit around and wait

sing what might take place, what God

might do, what he might take a liken to

me about. I'm not waiting for all that.

If I can write, if Jesus appeared to him

in a vision and said, "Here's what you

can do." Go to Mark chapter 5:2. I'm

going to show you how you can write your

own ticket with God. And if you'll do

that, you can receive anything from God

that you need to see him do. All right.

I heard that and I said, I saw it later

in a book, and I thought, if that's how

this works, I'm going to be writing

tickets from now on.

>> I'm going to be a ticket writer. I am

going to I am going to make sure that

this starts working for me. If Jesus

said that to brother Hagen and he told

him to write it into a book and put it

on a cassette, if he did all that, I'm

going down that road.

>> Have I got it right every time? No. But

I got it right a bunch of times.

>> You can write your own ticket with God.

What did this woman do? Nobody in that

crowd got a healing

that we know of. They all needed,

wanted, desired something. But nobody

got anything until the sick, broke,

dying,

alone woman, crawls in the press behind,

touches the hem of his garment. Power

flows out of him into her. He stops and

says, "Somebody touched me. Who was

that?" She fell down before him, told

him all the truth. And and he

said,"Woman, your faith made you whole.

Go in peace and behold of thy plague."

If she could do that, I want to know how

this works.

God's no respector of persons. If she

could do it back there 2,000 years ago,

you and I can do the same thing. If we

just find what did what did she do? I

want to know what did this lady do to

turn her life around. Now, I know nobody

in here needs your life turned around.

Everybody's healthy, everybody's

blessed, prosperous, everybody, your

mind's doing good, your body's great,

you everything's No, probably a few

people need a few things in here. I want

to know if God's no respector of persons

and if this woman can get a miracle in

her body in the middle of a crowd being

so sick she's not supposed to be in

public. I want to know what she did

because I want to figure out how to do

the same thing. If it's available, I am

in line

>> and so are you.

>> Where did we I started a couple weeks

ago. We started here. So, we're going to

finish up here and we'll pick up another

week. But if you go back through there,

what what did she do? What did she do

that changed her life?

Okay. Did she did she fast for 30 days?

Okay. What did she do? What did she do

that made a difference in her life?

Certain woman had Mark chapter 5:25.

Certain woman had an issue of blood 12

years. Suffered many things and many

physicians spent all she had nothing

better but rather grew worse when she

>> when she heard what changed the course

of her life. I don't see anybody in that

crowd of people that heard anything.

They touched, they tried, but I don't

see anybody trying. I don't see anybody

hearing anything until she heard. When

she heard, she got healed.

>> It's It started with her. What did What

did Proverbs 4:20 say? My son, attend to

Proverbs 4:20

my words. Incline thine ear unto my

sayings. Where people mess it up a lot

as we're trying to get something that a

shortcut.

>> I don't I haven't got time to hear all

this.

We got no excuse in America.

>> You can put it on your phone, your iPad,

your computer. You can put it in your

car. You can put it in your Bible. You

can put it anywhere. You can find

something like that. My phone is full of

messages. If I want to hear something, I

can hear it every day. It's available

there. Maybe not in Afghanistan or maybe

not in Iran. I don't know. But there are

places they don't. But I do know we have

no

>> excuse.

We have no excuse for not hearing. If I

don't hear, it's my own fault. If I

don't get results that you get by

hearing and I don't hear, then it's

somebody's fault that's mine.

So, I can I can make a change in that. I

can take time and hear. How much should

I hear? That's easy. Hear it here until

you get it here until you see it working

out here.

>> Y'all just looking at me funny.

>> It works. It works.

>> God is no

>> respector of persons.

Okay?

>> He doesn't care if you're a sick Jew, a

sick Gentile. He doesn't care where

you're from. Doesn't make any difference

for God. It does not make a bit of

difference. If you'll do what he says to

do, you'll get what he said you can get.

>> And he didn't make it difficult. My

goodness, he made it so simple. We We

have to

We almost have to intentionally not get

it. Well, I just don't like taking all

that time. Well,

We'll just leave that one alone for

right now and I'm going to find a place

to unhook here. But anyway, what was

what was what what made the difference

in her life when she had

>> heard okay I'll hit I'll hit a couple

high points and when we come back

sometime we'll finish this part up. But

anyway, if you go back to uh Luke's

gospel, the fifth chapter, there was a

bunch of people, scribes, Pharisees, and

doctors of the law came by there and

Jesus was in the house

>> teaching.

Didn't say it was healing, but it said,

"And the power of the Lord was

>> was what?"

>> You've been reading this is good. The

power of the Lord was present to heal.

Now, don't stop there. Power of the Lord

was present to heal

>> them. God wouldn't have sent his power

to heal them if he didn't want them

healed. And if there wasn't enough power

to heal all of them and all them could

have been healed and probably if they

were as ordinary as they were, they

probably all needed healing.

Power of the Lord was present to heal

them. But if you read that through, a

guy came down through the roof and got

healed.

>> He had to come down, you know, from the

second level up there, get healed, ready

to run for his life. Because the people

that came in there, they weren't coming

to get healed. They were trying to find

Jesus saying something they could accuse

him of.

But what were they doing? They're up

there. They're the God sent the power of

the Lord present to heal them. That

means he wanted them. He wouldn't have

sent it if he didn't want them healed.

He wouldn't have sent it if he couldn't

heal them. He did all that and they

didn't. Not one got a healing in their

body. This guy gets healed and they

don't even like it. Who's he think he is

getting healed? Who's does Jesus think

he is healing somebody on a wrong day?

Got all kinds of upset.

That's the fifth chapter of Luke's

gospel. Then you go to the sixth chapter

and it said all this people great

multitude of people out of the all the

region roundabout. Jerusalem, Judea,

Samaria, all this other people from all

the region roundabout, they all came

together to hear him. Somebody's a step

ahead of me. Okay, that's good. I'll

take that. They came to hear him and to

be healed of their infirmities. And as

many as touched him were made whole. for

they want virtue out of him and healed

them all. Luke 6, none of them got

healed. Or Luke 5, Luke 6, they all got

healed. How come nobody got it in one

chapter and everybody got it in the

other chapter? Well, God's just that way

sometimes. Some sometimes he likes some

folks and some just say, "You just

irritate me. You just bug me today."

No.

Luke 5. Nobody gets it except the guy

coming down through the roof and his

friends lowered him down and ran for

their life. He gets healed. Luke 6,

everybody gets healed. Why did God

change? He didn't. God didn't change.

The people did. Every Nobody came to

hear in Luke 5. Everybody came in Luke

6. Who are the ones that got healed? The

ones that heard. Well, that's enough for

today. Let's all stand to our feet.

Father, we're grateful. We're so

grateful. Father, you you are no

respector of persons. You You made all

the goodness available for all of us. We

didn't earn it. We didn't deserve it. We

didn't We weren't even around to ask for

it when you purchased and paid the price

when you when you redeemed us and shed

the blood of Jesus for us. We're

grateful for that, Father. And so right

now, I pray this will get on the inside

of us. Just a simple truth. If I'll just

take time to hear, if I can hear, I can

get healed. If I can hear, I can get

healed. If I can hear, I can get healed.

Or if I will hear, I will get healed. If

I'll just do my part, you always do your

part. And so, Father, I pray that we'll

just get this. That it'll not just be

another message we've heard from

somewhere. I pray this will get on the

inside of us and something will get on

way down on the inside of us. That Jesus

said, "Let these things sink down into

your ears."

So, I'm I'm I'm looking for that, dear

Lord, for that to get on the inside of

every one of us. Whether it's for

healing for our bodies or our needs

being met, our bills being paid, our

family being straightened out. Father,

there's so many things we we need to see

you doing.

We're just looking for you to do it. But

you paid the price. You're looking for

us to act on that. Oh, and there's more

to it than that. I understand that,

Lord. We'll get to that another time.

But there's so many so many simple

truths you put in your word. We're we're

waiting for you to do it. You're waiting

for us to take it. And so, I thank you

for that, dear Father. You left it up to

us and we're grateful, dear Father. You

wouldn't have left it up to us if

something to take it. [music] So, we

thank you for it in Jesus name, Father.

Hallelujah. Glory to God. And while

heads bowed and eyes are closed and

Christians are praying, if you're here

today and you say, "I just need God to

do some things in my life and I'm not

really even walking with him, right?

I'm not walking with God. Either not

born again, never been saved, or I I got

saved and I've been away from God. My

life's just not where it should be. I

I'm I'm away from God. I'm away from his

will and plan for my life. I'm away from

what he wants for for me." If you're

here and you'd say, "Pastor, I'm just

not where I should be with God. And I I

want to get that changed today. I want

to turn my life around. I want to I want

to do what you said in your word I could

do where I can reach out and take hold

of what Jesus paid for. Not sitting by

waiting to see what he will do. I'm

going to tap into what he did do. So,

Father, if there are people in here that

have never made Jesus Lord of their

lives, or if they've been away from

Almighty God, they've they've [music]

turned their life away, turned around

into the practice of sin and wrongdoing,

and things just aren't right. They're

not where they should be. It's not your

fault, anybody. It's It's our own fault,

but if we did it, we can change it. So,

I ask you to speak to hearts now. So,

while heads are bowed and eyes are

closed, if you're here today, say,

"Pastor, I want to get things right with

God today.

If you're never if you never been saved,

now is the time. Today is the day of

salvation." If you're if you're away

from God, don't wait any longer to come

back. Today is the day of salvation.

If that's you, wave your hand at me.

Anybody here say, "Pastor, pray for me.

I I need to get things right with God

today. My life is not where it should

be. It is a train wreck. Things are not

right between God and me, and it's not

his fault." If that's you, wave your

hand at me. Anybody here?

Hallelujah.

Glory to God. Praise God. All right.

Anybody here? Look across the room one

more time.

Father, we thank you in the wonderful

name of Jesus. I thank you so much.

The price you paid for us. The price you

paid for us. We're so thankful for it,

dear Father. You've done so much and all

you need us to do is reach out and take

hold of what you did. We thank you for

it in Jesus wonderful name, Father.

Hallelujah. [music] Amen. Amen. Amen.

Glory to God. Hallelujah.
