Speaker 1: Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick. I'm the pastor of Elevation
Speaker 1: Church and this is our podcast. I wanted to thank
Speaker 1: you for joining us today. Hope this inspires you. Hope
Speaker 1: it builds your faith. Hope it gives your perspective to
Speaker 1: see God is moving in your life. Enjoy the message. Well,
Speaker 1: I want to share a scripture today. You may be seated.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. There's a great energy in this room.
Speaker 1: I wish you were here. I know Holly thought I
Speaker 1: was crazy because last night, getting ready to preach, I
Speaker 1: started playing all the old Elevation worship videos and I
Speaker 1: know she must have thought, like, this is kind of weird.
Speaker 1: You're in there listening to songs that you wrote. Kind
Speaker 1: of weird. But I just I needed to see everything
Speaker 1: like it was. Might start crying. I started crying. I'm
Speaker 1: not a crier, but I don't know. I thought I
Speaker 1: wasn't a crier. But I guess I'm not what I
Speaker 1: thought I was. Let's just call the sermon that can
Speaker 1: we call this sermon? I'm not what I thought. I'm
Speaker 1: not what I thought. And if you'll join me in
Speaker 1: the Bible and also share this message with someone who
Speaker 1: needs to hear it. I'm gonna be sharing from Mark
Speaker 1: chapter five. And if you share this message, the Lord
Speaker 1: will bless you with something better than a stimulus check
Speaker 1: this week. You will have treasure in heaven. Amen. And
Speaker 1: if you share this message, everybody who shares this message
Speaker 1: will receive a blessing. Let's make it super vague like that, right,
Speaker 1: I'm not what I thought. And after you've written that down,
Speaker 1: and now remember you can misinterpret my messages. Do not
Speaker 1: look at your husband and say you're not what I thought,
Speaker 1: because that's not the that's not the idea here. But
Speaker 1: I'm not what I thought. Thank you. Jesus. Mart Chapter five,
Speaker 1: verse twenty one says when Jesus had again crossed over
Speaker 1: by boat to the other side of the lake, other
Speaker 1: side of the lake. I was just thinking about Brandon
Speaker 1: Lake when I read that A large crowd gathered around
Speaker 1: him while he was by the lake. Come on, Anna,
Speaker 1: say I'm by the lake. Then one of the synagogue
Speaker 1: leaders named Jyrus Important due Important du came in. When
Speaker 1: he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet. He pleaded
Speaker 1: earnestly with him. My little daughter is dying. I can't
Speaker 1: imagine that. I can't imagine that my little daughter is dying.
Speaker 1: Please come and put your hands on her so that
Speaker 1: she will be healed and live. So Jesus with him.
Speaker 1: Now I want to pause and just deal with that
Speaker 1: for a moment, because to skip over Gyros does not
Speaker 1: do the text justice. And yet Gyros is not the
Speaker 1: assignment for my preaching today. But I want to point
Speaker 1: out that certain situations will make your position irrelevant. Certain
Speaker 1: situations will make it not matter that they call you
Speaker 1: a CEO when there's no peace in your home. There's
Speaker 1: no position on your job that can make you feel
Speaker 1: good about your life. And so that issue that was
Speaker 1: happening in his home brought him to a low place,
Speaker 1: even though he occupied a high position. Now, remember, a
Speaker 1: synagogue ruler wasn't just somebody who stood and attended. It
Speaker 1: was someone who actually had some influence. And yet he
Speaker 1: finds himself at the feet of this rabbi, this radical teacher, healer,
Speaker 1: and he wants to know, will you help me with
Speaker 1: this issue? Now. I don't want to move too emotionally
Speaker 1: too fast, but some of us have completely had our
Speaker 1: positions upended over the course of the last several months,
Speaker 1: and we find ourselves in a place we never thought
Speaker 1: we'd be. For Gyros, it was at Jesus' feet. And
Speaker 1: that position of desperation, of course, is not unfamiliar to
Speaker 1: you unless you're under the age of twelve. It just
Speaker 1: so happens that Gyrus's daughter was twelve. But Gyros encountered something,
Speaker 1: and you will if you live a little while. That
Speaker 1: made his position irrelevant. He did not announce himself by
Speaker 1: his title. He demonstrated his desperation by bringing his issue
Speaker 1: to the only one that he thought had the ability
Speaker 1: to fix it. And I wonder if God Is brought
Speaker 1: you to that place in this season of your life
Speaker 1: where the things you used to try are no longer
Speaker 1: relieving the trouble anymore. So he came to Jesus, which
Speaker 1: in itself is a miracle. It's a miracle that he
Speaker 1: could get to Jesus because Jesus was so popular. Somebody
Speaker 1: say in the chat, it's a miracle. I'm here, it's
Speaker 1: a miracle. I'm here. It's a miracle. I'm here. It's
Speaker 1: a miracle. I'm here. Oh, that breath was a blessing,
Speaker 1: because it's a miracle. I'm here, it's a miracle. I'm here.
Speaker 1: It's a miracle. Now, this is the miracle that Mark
Speaker 1: is highlighting in the text. But yet there is an
Speaker 1: interruption to the miracle that forms my main point for
Speaker 1: my sermon today. And the reason I stopped to point
Speaker 1: that out is because sometimes the miracles happen in the
Speaker 1: middle of the other things that you think are more important.
Speaker 1: You ever noticed this, Sometimes the miracle happens in the middle.
Speaker 1: This is like a sandwich approach to scripture. Because Gyrus
Speaker 1: is asking Jesus to come and do something at his house.
Speaker 1: On the way, he gets interrupted, and now the thing
Speaker 1: that he gets interrupted by becomes the main point of
Speaker 1: what Luke or what Mark writes. Luke wrote it to,
Speaker 1: Matthew wrote it to. When Luke wrote it, he wrote
Speaker 1: it differently because he was a doctor, so he gave
Speaker 1: it from the perspective of a physician. But Marcus is
Speaker 1: classifying this miracle on the basis of action, and the
Speaker 1: Bible says that a large crowd followed and pressed around
Speaker 1: Jesus and verse twenty five. A woman was there. Here
Speaker 1: we go, Here we go, Here we go. I want
Speaker 1: to talk to you about this woman. You ask, what's
Speaker 1: her name? I would tell you if Mark told me.
Speaker 1: I checked Matthew. Maybe Matthew told us. He didn't tell us.
Speaker 1: I checked Luke. Luke didn't care to mention her by
Speaker 1: name either. What we do know is that she had
Speaker 1: been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She is identified
Speaker 1: by her issue. Done this suck to be identified by
Speaker 1: your issue? Last week I preached water walking, and I
Speaker 1: talked about how the first time I ever preached on
Speaker 1: that text, I was preaching at Monks Corny United Methodist Church.
Speaker 1: Then I went on as a sixteen year I've been
Speaker 1: preaching since I was sixteen, and I didn't know anything
Speaker 1: about the Bible. But I was bold. I was boldly.
Speaker 1: I was a confident idiot. I was a confident idiot.
Speaker 1: And I would teach these kids on Wednesday night and
Speaker 1: feed them and then teach them. And one week I
Speaker 1: was teaching about how God can do anything, and I
Speaker 1: was teaching about the woman in this text. But I
Speaker 1: didn't understand the background. And I was sixteen years old,
Speaker 1: and I got there teaching, I was trying to make
Speaker 1: it come alive, make it interesting. I was trying to
Speaker 1: make it vid And I said, this woman had been
Speaker 1: subject to bleeding twelve years and she comes up to
Speaker 1: Jesus and she's bleeding all over the place. Because you know,
Speaker 1: I'm sixteen, I'm stupid, and I'm like, she's bleeding all
Speaker 1: over the place. And a thirteen year old boy that
Speaker 1: was there, he raises his hand and I call on him,
Speaker 1: and he says, she wasn't bleeding on the outside, Stephen,
Speaker 1: she was bleeding on the inside. She was hammers saying
Speaker 1: it was a uterine infection. I'm like, how do you
Speaker 1: even know about a uterus at thirteen? It was an
Speaker 1: internal issue, Stephen. You couldn't see where she was bleeding.
Speaker 1: You couldn't see where she was bleeding. Nobody sees where
Speaker 1: you're bleeding. That's a lonely feeling. Nobody sees what dominic
Speaker 1: and depresses you. They see what you show them, and
Speaker 1: your feet is clean. They don't see where you're bleeding.
Speaker 1: It wasn't internal hemorrhy. Stephen read the Bible and no
Speaker 1: man's voice hadn't even dropped, and he was dropping truth
Speaker 1: like a theologian You couldn't see where she was bleeding,
Speaker 1: couldn't see where she was hurting, couldn't see where she
Speaker 1: was hemorrhaging. And that's a tough place to be because
Speaker 1: if you walk up bleeding from your nose, I got
Speaker 1: tissues for that. If you walk up with blood on
Speaker 1: your face, it's gonna cause me to stop in my tracks.
Speaker 1: She was bleeding in a place no one could see.
Speaker 1: I feel like I need to stop and ask you
Speaker 1: to think about where are you bleeding that no one sees? Where?
Speaker 1: Where are you hurting that no one has really heard about.
Speaker 1: And even though you generalize those places by saying, just
Speaker 1: pray for me, I need a financial breakthrough. Really, the
Speaker 1: issue is that you need a financial breakthrough. It's that
Speaker 1: you don't even feel like a man anymore because you've
Speaker 1: lost your ability to provide. And if you can't even
Speaker 1: provide for your family, what good are you. You are bleeding,
Speaker 1: not financially, you're bleeding on the inside. I'm bleeding and
Speaker 1: no one sees it. And even ready for this, even
Speaker 1: Jesus didn't see the woman. He sees all things, not
Speaker 1: this time he didn't. The Bible says, y'all believe the Bible?
Speaker 1: Can I read? Can I read the Bible? Or you
Speaker 1: want me to get a doctor, sue, So the places
Speaker 1: you'll go, all right? Well, Jesus did not see this woman,
Speaker 1: but he felt her presence. And that's that's going to
Speaker 1: be important in how I unpacked this, because it said
Speaker 1: that a large crowd followed and pass pressed around him,
Speaker 1: and a woman was there with the subject bleeding for
Speaker 1: twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the
Speaker 1: care of many doctors, and had spent all she had.
Speaker 1: Yet instead of getting better, she grew worse. Instead of
Speaker 1: getting better, she grew worse. Isn't it crazy how some
Speaker 1: of the ways you try to feel better make you
Speaker 1: that much worse in the end. Have you ever done
Speaker 1: something to feel better but you found out it actually
Speaker 1: made it worse. Had you ever ate something to feel
Speaker 1: better and you felt better for five minutes? Ah, but
Speaker 1: about three am the devil sent you run into the
Speaker 1: toilet talking about it felt good. It fixed it for
Speaker 1: a minute. Now you've been doing some things that fixed
Speaker 1: it for a minute. The Bible doesn't say she never
Speaker 1: felt better. The Bible says she didn't get better. And
Speaker 1: I wonder if in this time of our life, this
Speaker 1: time of trouble and transition and trauma and secret bleeding,
Speaker 1: if some of us are running to places where we
Speaker 1: are spending our energy and giving our attention to things
Speaker 1: that promise to make it better but end up making
Speaker 1: it worse. My grandfather didn't have the Internet. He was
Speaker 1: at such a disadvantage. He couldn't just google an answer.
Speaker 1: He had to actually talk to somebody. I have it
Speaker 1: so much better than him, so much better off, man.
Speaker 1: I want my kids to have it better than I
Speaker 1: had it. Sometimes what we think is better is based
Speaker 1: on a point of reference that has no grounding in reality.
Speaker 1: So if you think about this and again, we can
Speaker 1: take vote okay, church, vote church, vote em around the world.
Speaker 1: Everyone who thinks that being able to constantly share an
Speaker 1: access every opinion that has ever existed in humankind in
Speaker 1: an instant has made our ability to connect with one
Speaker 1: another that much better, say I. And yet y'all ain't
Speaker 1: saying nothing in the chat. Yeah, you didn't say nothing
Speaker 1: in the chat. Just because we have more ways to
Speaker 1: connect doesn't mean we're better at doing it. And yet
Speaker 1: here's here's here's the flip. The only reason I'm able
Speaker 1: to preach this is because of the technology that I'm
Speaker 1: preaching against. When when Luke gets ready to share it,
Speaker 1: he doesn't say it quite like Mark says it. Mark
Speaker 1: says she spent all she had, but every doctor that
Speaker 1: she went to made it worse. Luke is a physician,
Speaker 1: so he says, nobody could fix this woman. Nobody could
Speaker 1: fix her. Mark seems to imply that there were some
Speaker 1: people taking advantage of her. Mark seems to imply that
Speaker 1: the motives of everyone that she went to weren't so
Speaker 1: pure and so clean and so clear. Mark seems to
Speaker 1: imply that the founders of Facebook and the proprietors of
Speaker 1: Instagram are not primarily interested in your inspiration, or that
Speaker 1: the news is not primarily interested in informing us. So
Speaker 1: now I want to ask you a question. With the
Speaker 1: news on all week long, are you smarter or dumber
Speaker 1: on Friday? It's just a question. Answer it how you
Speaker 1: want to answer it. And I just wonder, is it
Speaker 1: making it better? The place you go to to feel better.
Speaker 1: Isn't making it better? That's a question. Before long, you
Speaker 1: start to identify yourself with the information that you receive,
Speaker 1: and in this woman's case, she was getting work to
Speaker 1: the point that her issue had consumed her so totally
Speaker 1: that she was only known by her issue. And I
Speaker 1: love when the text lines up real pretty like this.
Speaker 1: How many of y'all really love the Bible? Not just
Speaker 1: the verse of the day, But you'd like to see
Speaker 1: that little hidden stuff, those little hospital corner tucks that
Speaker 1: the Bible does. All right, look at this. There's one
Speaker 1: man who is identified by his significance Gyrus, and one
Speaker 1: woman who is identified by her issue. There's one man
Speaker 1: who has a position, but he also has a dying daughter,
Speaker 1: so now his position is upended by what he's dealing with,
Speaker 1: just like the woman. Now all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: woman who is identified by her issue. That's why she's
Speaker 1: called in the King James, the woman with the issue
Speaker 1: of blood. Would you every kid in my house has
Speaker 1: a nickname. How would you like for your nickname to
Speaker 1: be the woman with the issue of blood? How about it? Lucius?
Speaker 1: That's what I call Abbey. I call her Lucius. It's
Speaker 1: a long story how it got there, it's been through about.
Speaker 1: It's a whole morphology of how my kids go by
Speaker 1: their names. He was Graham, and then he was g
Speaker 1: and then he was g T. And then he was Gt. McSwain,
Speaker 1: and then he was swaying, and then he was shwig
Speaker 1: and then he was shwigglish, and then he was leish.
Speaker 1: How would you like for your name to be issues?
Speaker 1: Her name was Abby, then it was Foffe, then it
Speaker 1: was foth, then it was foof, then it was fIF
Speaker 1: then it was leash, then it was lush, and now
Speaker 1: she's lush. There was a time when she was called
Speaker 1: There was a time when this woman had a name.
Speaker 1: But twelve years is a long time, and over time
Speaker 1: she lost her name, asked, she was consumed by her issue.
Speaker 1: Now you start thinking things like you know, I'm an addict.
Speaker 1: Now you start thinking things like I'm just a grumpy person.
Speaker 1: Now you start saying things like it's just in my genetics.
Speaker 1: But your genetics haven't met Jesus yet. Your genetics need
Speaker 1: to meet Jesus with the woman's genetics that Jesus, WHOA,
Speaker 1: I got a new nature. I'm gonna come back to that.
Speaker 1: So depression is something I deal with. I'm not depressed.
Speaker 1: I deal with depression. You understand what I'm saying. Now,
Speaker 1: Just like that is true, it is also true of
Speaker 1: your achievements. Just like people will identify you with your issues,
Speaker 1: they will identify you with your position and achievement. Like
Speaker 1: the man who told me on the Rattle YouTube comments.
Speaker 1: I know I'm not supposed to look in those comments.
Speaker 1: I know I tell y'all not to do it. But
Speaker 1: do as I say, not as I do. I'm a hypocrite.
Speaker 1: The man said he saw me up there. I was
Speaker 1: singing on Rattle Brandon having the time of my life.
Speaker 1: It was like metallic of creeping death in reverse James
Speaker 1: Hedfield saying die die. I mean you shall live live
Speaker 1: best moment of my life. Man said, stay in your lane, Steve.
Speaker 1: Let the worship leaders lead worship. You preach the word
Speaker 1: first of all, Worship worship, y'all better understand where I'm
Speaker 1: coming from. Worship for me is not what happens before
Speaker 1: the sermon. Worship is how I make it through the
Speaker 1: worst moments of my life. And secondly, I'm not what
Speaker 1: you thought I was bro Big Da before twenty three
Speaker 1: in the YouTube comments. I'm not defined. I'm not defined.
Speaker 1: You didn't make my lane. You didn't make my lane.
Speaker 1: So it's weird that we just call her the woman
Speaker 1: right and we define her by her issue, and we
Speaker 1: do it to ourselves all the time. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, are you can even define yourself by how
Speaker 1: you feel in this moment? Right? And that's dangerous. Let
Speaker 1: me teach you for a moment. Do you define yourself
Speaker 1: by your emotions? Do you define yourself by your status?
Speaker 1: Do you define yourself by your lowest point? Do you
Speaker 1: define yourself by your highest achievement? All of that is dangerous, okay,
Speaker 1: because the moment you start believing that you are what
Speaker 1: you do or you are what you went through, it
Speaker 1: creates something inside. The woman was bleeding on the inside.
Speaker 1: She was bleeding on the inside. She was bleeding on
Speaker 1: the inside. There is a bleeding on the inside that
Speaker 1: happens when your sense of self worth flows from what
Speaker 1: you do and what you go through. Somebody say, I'm
Speaker 1: not what I thought. And in the text, and some
Speaker 1: of you may be very familiar with this text, the
Speaker 1: Lord put me on a clear direction since quarantine to
Speaker 1: only preach scriptures that I preached before. And I don't
Speaker 1: know when that's going to end, because there's a whole
Speaker 1: lot of good stuff I hadn't preached in fourteen and
Speaker 1: a half years. But until further notice, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: go deeper in what I thought I knew. So every
Speaker 1: time it's causing me to stop and see what am
Speaker 1: I not seeing? This woman who was not seen by
Speaker 1: any people, even including Jesus, who she needed a miracle
Speaker 1: from what That's what she did. She self activated. And
Speaker 1: that's what you did when you went on this stream.
Speaker 1: By the way, today, you self activated. You didn't wait
Speaker 1: for God to encourage you. You said, I'm getting under
Speaker 1: the spout. This is old school, where the glory comes
Speaker 1: out as the deer pants for the streams of water.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get on a stream today that is going
Speaker 1: to hydrate my hope. And this woman got in the
Speaker 1: flow of a miracle because she needed it. She needed it.
Speaker 1: I need it, I need I need God. I need
Speaker 1: I need God at the level not only of my
Speaker 1: conceptual abstraction, but at the level of my feeling, my thought. Now,
Speaker 1: this is what happened to her. She had suffered a
Speaker 1: great deal under the care of many doctors and had
Speaker 1: spent all she had. Yet instead of getting better, she
Speaker 1: grew worse. And when she heard about Jesus, when she
Speaker 1: what when she so that's the first thing she did.
Speaker 1: She heard. She heard, but I want you to notice
Speaker 1: she didn't get healed off of what she heard. This
Speaker 1: word can only do so much by hearing. Faith comes
Speaker 1: by hearing hearing the word of God. But faith without
Speaker 1: works is dead. So James would say, do not merely
Speaker 1: listen to the word and deceive yourselves. Instead, do what
Speaker 1: you said. Let me tell you something. It's not gonna
Speaker 1: get better because you took good notes. You can go
Speaker 1: to every Bible study and get worse and think you
Speaker 1: satisfied your intellectual quest for God. But this woman did
Speaker 1: not get healed because she heard. That was the first
Speaker 1: step she heard. And I think it's important that we
Speaker 1: put ourselves in the path of God's word. Don't you
Speaker 1: to put yourself in the path of the promises of God.
Speaker 1: To put yourself in the path of words of truth
Speaker 1: and words of life, and words of grace and words
Speaker 1: of possibility. I think that that is so important. Yet
Speaker 1: she didn't get healed when she heard. She heard about Jesus.
Speaker 1: She heard about Jesus. And then after she heard about Jesus,
Speaker 1: come on study with me. This is about to get
Speaker 1: so good. This is about to get so good. You're
Speaker 1: gonna call your grandma who thinks the preacher shouldn't wear
Speaker 1: jeans with holes in him and say, watch him this week.
Speaker 1: He's got a word for you this week. I don't
Speaker 1: care what he's wearing this week. This is a good word.
Speaker 1: When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him
Speaker 1: in the crowd and touched this cloak. So what we
Speaker 1: have so far? She heard, she came, She touched. She heard,
Speaker 1: she came, She touched, and maybe instead of waiting for
Speaker 1: a touch from God, you just gotta make up your mind.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna touch God myself. I'm gonna praise God myself.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be grateful. Gratitude is a strategy. I need
Speaker 1: to feel God. So I'm gonna get grateful for a
Speaker 1: minute because I need to feel him. She heard, she came,
Speaker 1: she touched because she thought, if I just touch his clothes,
Speaker 1: you see verse twenty eight. If I just touch his clothes,
Speaker 1: I will be here. If I just touch his clothes,
Speaker 1: I will be here. And immediately twenty nine her bleeding stopped,
Speaker 1: and she felt in her body that she was freed
Speaker 1: from her suffering. So many questions I have about this text.
Speaker 1: How did Jesus not Sere. You know, how did Jesus
Speaker 1: not Sere? Who did she think she was to sneak
Speaker 1: up on the Savior of the world when he was
Speaker 1: on his way to the deathbed of a dying little girl.
Speaker 1: Another question, why didn't Jyrus him grab this lady by
Speaker 1: the throat and throw her out of the way. I
Speaker 1: would have done it if it would have been you,
Speaker 1: I'd throw any of y'all out of the way. I'll
Speaker 1: put you in a figure four leg locks so Jesus
Speaker 1: could get to my house and heal my daughter. I'll
Speaker 1: put you in the what's it called the scorpion? Remember sting.
Speaker 1: I'll be making up all kinds of moves. Get out
Speaker 1: of my way. I got a daughter that needs a touch.
Speaker 1: But one question I wanted to ask you, and maybe
Speaker 1: I'll ask Chris because it's like one of my best
Speaker 1: friends in the world. He won't mind me putting on
Speaker 1: spot what stopped the woman's bleeding? And I know Christ
Speaker 1: is like Jesus. I think it's Jesus for them. I
Speaker 1: think this is a trick question. It is. It's a
Speaker 1: trick question, all right, Brandon, You're down there at sea
Speaker 1: coast for a real, real preacher preaching the word. So
Speaker 1: what would josh Sarat say that the bleeding stopped? Because
Speaker 1: for years when I taught this text, I thought that
Speaker 1: when she touched Jesus, that that action, which signified faith,
Speaker 1: caused the flow of the bleeding to stop. But the
Speaker 1: Bible says immediately, Mark's favorite word to use to transition
Speaker 1: his gospel. Immediately, and in the interconnectedness of all things,
Speaker 1: the moment that Jesus stopped because the woman touched his garment,
Speaker 1: the edge of his garment, I might point out, Gyrus's
Speaker 1: daughter lost her life. So the gaining of life for
Speaker 1: the woman cost Gyrus's daughter her life. Jesus went on
Speaker 1: to resurrect the little girl, but Gyros didn't know that.
Speaker 1: You ever notice how everything's connected. You don't see those
Speaker 1: connections in real time. Only in retrospect do you see
Speaker 1: the connection, the connection between the breaking that you experienced
Speaker 1: and the blessing that God had in mind, the connection
Speaker 1: between the loneliness that you felt and the intimacy that
Speaker 1: was developed in that loneliness. You don't usually see those
Speaker 1: connections until later. And when she made a connection, everybody said,
Speaker 1: make a connection, make it, could make make it, make
Speaker 1: make a connection, Make connection, make connection, like a phone
Speaker 1: hooking up to a WiFi. That's how I imagined it.
Speaker 1: She accessed his power when she touched his cloak. Why
Speaker 1: did her bleeding stop? And I guess you could say
Speaker 1: it was when she made a connection with Jesus. But
Speaker 1: there's another connection that I never made. I always thought
Speaker 1: that her healing started when she touched his cloak. But
Speaker 1: I read verse twenty eight, put it on the screen,
Speaker 1: and I found out that the bleeding stopped because she
Speaker 1: thought she heard she came. She thought she touched, and
Speaker 1: it stopped. God said to tell you can stop it
Speaker 1: with a thought. You can stop it with a thought,
Speaker 1: all caps. I can stop it with a thought. I
Speaker 1: can stop it with a thought. It's not stronger than me.
Speaker 1: I can stop it with a thought. Man, I am
Speaker 1: not my issue. See, you've been going through what you've
Speaker 1: been going through so long. You think the issue is you.
Speaker 1: But you can stop it with a thought. I mean
Speaker 1: right now, I mean right now. The darkness that has
Speaker 1: overwhelmed you helped me, Holy Spirit. They don't believe me.
Speaker 1: You can stop it with a thought. Now, she did
Speaker 1: not get healed because she just thought she got healed.
Speaker 1: When she touched, But she only touched because she thought.
Speaker 1: It starts with a thought. When I think of the
Speaker 1: goodness of Jesus, when I think about the Lord, how
Speaker 1: he saved me. We used to sing this holly, how
Speaker 1: he raised me, how he filled me, how he healed me,
Speaker 1: how he reached down and rescued me. You can stop
Speaker 1: it with a thought. You can stuff it with a thought.
Speaker 1: The gates of hell will not prevail one thought about God.
Speaker 1: My thoughts are not your thoughts. God could stuff it
Speaker 1: with a thought. I found out thoughts are optional. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thoughts are optional. I might have a thought, but I
Speaker 1: don't have to let the thought. Have me be three
Speaker 1: on that point. Give him twelve seconds to praise God.
Speaker 1: I don't have to think like this, live like this,
Speaker 1: bleed like this. I don't have to die like this.
Speaker 1: That was kind of weak. Let's try it again. Think
Speaker 1: of all the ways he made, think of all the
Speaker 1: things he did. I've been thinking about the wrong things.
Speaker 1: I'm one thought away from joy, one thought away from la. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thoughts are optional. Can I tell you how I know
Speaker 1: if you did everything you thought? You have a prison
Speaker 1: ministry from the inside of the prison. My God, Tim
Speaker 1: is so unsanctified. He'd be in prison if he did
Speaker 1: everything he thought about. Since I've been preaching, it's kind
Speaker 1: of like a split scream to me. Okay, it's like
Speaker 1: probably what the other people thought when the woman was
Speaker 1: coming up right, and what she thought almost called the
Speaker 1: message hold that dog, hold that God. I almost called
Speaker 1: the message hold that dot. Let's at least put that
Speaker 1: in the chat. I mean, even if you're watching this
Speaker 1: after three and a half years, hold that gow, hold
Speaker 1: that dog. Hold that dog. I mean, she said, if
Speaker 1: I touch him, it don't matter what anybody else thinks.
Speaker 1: Once you get over the fact that other people's opinions,
Speaker 1: they are not limits. They are merely suggestions. Contrary to
Speaker 1: what your mom told you don't have to eat everything
Speaker 1: on your plate, okay, you don't have to believe everything
Speaker 1: in your brain, So the thought is optional. And I
Speaker 1: imagine that the woman thought put it back up because
Speaker 1: she thought. That's what got me started on wanting to
Speaker 1: preach about this woman is because just like her bleeding
Speaker 1: started on the inside, so did her healing. Now, if
Speaker 1: y'all gonna sit over there on my side, you got
Speaker 1: to get in on the sermon. Y'all can't sit there
Speaker 1: like it's a spectator event because she thought, Wow, but
Speaker 1: you can't see thoughts. So how does Luke know or
Speaker 1: Mark know or Matthew know what she thought by what
Speaker 1: she did. I'll make a suggestion and y'all can click
Speaker 1: over to Andy Stanley sermon or something if you think
Speaker 1: I'm preaching heresy here? But what if? What if she
Speaker 1: had a thousand other thoughts and yet the only one
Speaker 1: that she acted, it's the only one that mattered. See,
Speaker 1: I can have a thousand thoughts. I can have a
Speaker 1: thousand thoughts, but the one that I hold determines where
Speaker 1: I go. I bet she also thought, can we talk
Speaker 1: about what the woman also thought? You've been sick twelve years.
Speaker 1: You've been to every doctor, You've been kicked out of
Speaker 1: every insurance policy. Nobody wants to hire you. You got
Speaker 1: pre existing conditions, so nobody wants to be with you.
Speaker 1: Twelve years. That's long enough to completely give up hope.
Speaker 1: That's long enough. Where she would have thought, also thought,
Speaker 1: how many agree? She would have also thought, put it
Speaker 1: on the split screen. Here's the screen of what she did.
Speaker 1: Here's what she also thought. What's the point I tried
Speaker 1: this before. Some of y'all can't even hear a sermon
Speaker 1: real good because you guys inspired last Sunday and you
Speaker 1: feel like you had an even worse week, so you
Speaker 1: don't want to hear it anymore. Yeah, cool man, and whatever,
Speaker 1: I bet a part of her. I bet I bet
Speaker 1: she had the thought, whatever she heard about Jesus he's
Speaker 1: a healer. I bet she thought, whatever, I've seen this
Speaker 1: show before. What does he want? He just wants my
Speaker 1: money too? You know, you goin to think things, you
Speaker 1: ever think things, even good things, even good things can
Speaker 1: be wrong things. I was talking one of my friends
Speaker 1: this week who studied the creative process, and I was like,
Speaker 1: give me a piece of advice on the creative process,
Speaker 1: because I'm constantly trying to create. I feel like sometimes
Speaker 1: like I'm just bleeding hemorrhaging the next sermon, you know.
Speaker 1: And my friend said, hey, make sure you rest while
Speaker 1: you're working and let your spirit work on your sermon too.
Speaker 1: I was like, cool, I don't know really how to
Speaker 1: rest because I identify myself by what I do, and
Speaker 1: I I tend to associate my worth with my work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: somebody say, I'm not what I thought I was. I
Speaker 1: always thought I was only as good as my trophy.
Speaker 1: I was only as good as my achievement. I was
Speaker 1: only as good. And so here's what I said back
Speaker 1: to my friend. I said, that's really cool. I said,
Speaker 1: I love that advice to rest and just let my
Speaker 1: spirit work on my sermon, let my subconscious work on
Speaker 1: my material. I said, that's a great creative tip. I said,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like when a computer renders. My friend said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I kind of like that. But you're not a computer.
Speaker 1: I'm not what I thought. My friend was trying to
Speaker 1: get me to see. You got the right idea, but
Speaker 1: you got the wrong identity. You're not an object. You're
Speaker 1: not a machine. I know every parent sometimes just feels
Speaker 1: like a bending machine, and then an uber, and then
Speaker 1: a referee, and then and then what else? You feel like? Parents? Parents, parents?
Speaker 1: What you feel like? Sometimes I feel like, if I'm
Speaker 1: not driving them somewhere cleaning something up, I'm a housekeeper,
Speaker 1: I'm a short order shelf. But I'm not. That's not
Speaker 1: all I am. That's not all I am. Stanie Lane
Speaker 1: Steve be a preacher. That's not all I am. That's
Speaker 1: not all I am. Do you feel God on that
Speaker 1: that's not all I am. Now, that might be all
Speaker 1: I've experienced up to this point, but that's not all
Speaker 1: I am. My genetics just haven't met Jesus yet. That's
Speaker 1: not all. I'm not just the woman with the issue
Speaker 1: of blood. That's not all I am. I'm not just
Speaker 1: Gyros a synagogue leader. I'm also a dad. I need ministry,
Speaker 1: I need a touch, I need refreshing, I need a flow,
Speaker 1: I need a prayer answer. Yeah, that's that's not all
Speaker 1: I am. I'm not what I thought I was. I'm
Speaker 1: so much more than I thought I was. How many
Speaker 1: times have I limited what I could receive because of
Speaker 1: what I thought I was because she thought she touched,
Speaker 1: and because she touched, the healing stopped. But you know
Speaker 1: what's really crazy. Instead of getting back on the road
Speaker 1: to get to Gyrus's daughter, the one who was more important,
Speaker 1: Jesus stopped in verse thirty, and here we see in
Speaker 1: the scripture the first instance of contact tracing. The Bible
Speaker 1: says Jesus stopped, so her bleeding stopped. Jesus stopped. You
Speaker 1: got thirty and he realized power, power, power, power. There's
Speaker 1: power in a thought, there's power in a thought's power
Speaker 1: and thought she thought she touched. Jesus said, I felt that. Now,
Speaker 1: remember she heard she came, she thought she touched. She felt.
Speaker 1: Feelings follow thoughts, and Jesus stops and goes, WHOA, I
Speaker 1: felt something, and the woman's like, I did too. And
Speaker 1: it started with a thought. Feelings start with thoughts. And
Speaker 1: so next time you wonder when you're in a bad
Speaker 1: mood or something like that, like, oh my god, what
Speaker 1: it was like the weather just changed on the inside.
Speaker 1: What happened? Do some contact tracing with your thoughts and
Speaker 1: some of y'all. This is gonna mean you're not gonna
Speaker 1: be texting everybody back this week because I did some
Speaker 1: contact tracing and I found out every time I text
Speaker 1: you is trouble for me. My Lord, look in the Bible,
Speaker 1: so up to date in the BBISO twenty twenty. Look
Speaker 1: at the Bible. The Bible said Jesus stop, and he said,
Speaker 1: turn around across said who touch my clothes? Who touched me?
Speaker 1: Now the disciples are annoyed, not just because they don't
Speaker 1: want to go back through and do the paperwork to
Speaker 1: find out who had COVID and who was exposed and
Speaker 1: six feet distance none of that. But watch what the
Speaker 1: disciples said verse thirty one. It doesn't say it's Peter,
Speaker 1: but I bet it was. You see the people crowding
Speaker 1: against you as disciples answered, And yet you can ask
Speaker 1: who touched me? Your feelings come so fast, don't they.
Speaker 1: It's hard to even know where its started. It's like
Speaker 1: you want, you want us to trace it all the
Speaker 1: way back. Jesus, we don't have time to stop and
Speaker 1: talk about your Cyrus's daughter is dying. So we can
Speaker 1: stop and break it all down if you want to.
Speaker 1: But it's a lot of people, and it's a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff. I was telling Eric the other day, I said,
Speaker 1: I try to figure out why I'm in a bad mood.
Speaker 1: But if I tried to trace everything that made me
Speaker 1: in a bad mood back, I'd never go anywhere. I'd
Speaker 1: never get out bed. Some days, sunny weather makes me
Speaker 1: depressed because I think I should be outside and enjoin it.
Speaker 1: Some day's rainy weather makes me depressed because it's raining.
Speaker 1: I can't trace anything back. It just comes so fast.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, who touched me? It's like
Speaker 1: a lot of people are touching, a lot of things
Speaker 1: are happening, the world's really crazy right now. I can't
Speaker 1: He said, no, no no, no, no, no. Who touched me?
Speaker 1: And he kept looking around verse thirty two to see
Speaker 1: who had done it? So I know we don't live
Speaker 1: by our feelings. Sometimes we need to focus on our
Speaker 1: feeling and see what led to it. You're following me,
Speaker 1: you're following me, So Jesus, like who touched me? Who
Speaker 1: touched me? Who touched me? Who touched me? Who touched me?
Speaker 1: He touched me, he touched me? Who touched me? Who
Speaker 1: touched me? Who touched me? Who touched me? He didn't
Speaker 1: see her because she came up from behind. And the
Speaker 1: woman verse thirty three, who is only used to being
Speaker 1: a nuisance or an inconvenience? How many of you give
Speaker 1: me the camera write that one? How many of you
Speaker 1: have ever felt like you were a nuisance because that's
Speaker 1: the way other people treated you, or that's what you
Speaker 1: thought they thought. How stupid is it to be trapped
Speaker 1: in what you thought they thought? This is called thought tracy,
Speaker 1: not contacted, this thought tracing. Well, I think they thought
Speaker 1: they did that because they thought they thought the woman
Speaker 1: thought she was in trouble. And the reason I know
Speaker 1: she thought she was in trouble when Jesus stopped on
Speaker 1: the way to Jyrus's house. Help me do this, Lord
Speaker 1: is because when she came up verse thirty three, the
Speaker 1: Bible says descriptively, she came back and fell at his
Speaker 1: feet and trembling with fear. She thought she was in trouble,
Speaker 1: but she wanted to tell the truth. She heard, she came,
Speaker 1: she thought, she touched, she felt, she told it was me.
Speaker 1: It was me. I don't mean this in any kind
Speaker 1: of stereotypical way, but the fact that she was a
Speaker 1: woman makes me think she didn't give Jesus the plot summary,
Speaker 1: because my wife doesn't give me plot summaries or cliffs notes.
Speaker 1: She told him the whole truth. She told him the
Speaker 1: whole truth, what it had been like to bleed on
Speaker 1: the inside, what it had been like to once have resources,
Speaker 1: and as you spend all your resources, your issue continues
Speaker 1: to deteriorate your reality. And she told him that, you know, trembling.
Speaker 1: She told him, I know I wasn't supposed to stop you.
Speaker 1: I know I caused a big commotion. I know you
Speaker 1: were on your way to heal that important man's daughter,
Speaker 1: and Jesus stopped and said who did it? Who did it?
Speaker 1: It seems petty that he would stop healing somebody to
Speaker 1: come fuss at somebody. He said, who did it? I
Speaker 1: wonder why he did it, because when I read his
Speaker 1: response after she told him the whole truth, it says
Speaker 1: in verse thirty four, can you give me verse thirty four,
Speaker 1: that he said to her daughter, your faith is healed.
Speaker 1: You go in peace and be freed from your suffering.
Speaker 1: But she was already freed from her suffering. Give me
Speaker 1: verse twenty nine. When she touched him, Immediately her bleeding
Speaker 1: stopped and she fell in her body. That she was
Speaker 1: free from her suffering. She was already free. What do
Speaker 1: you call her back? Not to reprimand her. Maybe he
Speaker 1: called her back to give her a little bit more money,
Speaker 1: or a little bit more details, or maybe to give
Speaker 1: her a little extra help. So I read that over
Speaker 1: and over again, somebody say, I'm not what I thought.
Speaker 1: You remember how she snuck up and said, if I
Speaker 1: just touched the hem of his garment, the dirty part,
Speaker 1: the part that has been dragging through the street with
Speaker 1: with feces and urine, and and and the mud off
Speaker 1: of the shoes, of the feet of the other important
Speaker 1: people as they moved through the street to do things
Speaker 1: that she no longer had the resource to do. And
Speaker 1: that's all that's all she thought she was if I
Speaker 1: touch it and then I'll sneak away, And she snuck
Speaker 1: away like a thief. They couldn't find her. She snuck
Speaker 1: away like she stole something. He said, who did it?
Speaker 1: Bring her back? And then he told her what she
Speaker 1: already knew. Why did he call her back? Why did
Speaker 1: he call her back and let Gyrus's daughter die just
Speaker 1: to tell her what she already knew? And then I
Speaker 1: realized something. Put verse thirty four on the screen. It's
Speaker 1: not what he told her, it's what he called her.
Speaker 1: He didn't call her a woman with the issue of blood.
Speaker 1: We call her that. He didn't. Wow. There are many
Speaker 1: times in scripture that Jesus touches people in their heels.
Speaker 1: There are very few where someone touches him. And there's
Speaker 1: only one time in scripture that Jesus calls somebody put
Speaker 1: it back up, daughter. This is the only time Jesus
Speaker 1: uses that term. Why did he stop on the way
Speaker 1: to heal Gyrus's daughter because there was another daughter who
Speaker 1: forgot that she was a daughter. So I'm not going
Speaker 1: to let you sneak away like a beggar. If I
Speaker 1: let you sneak away right now, the bleeding may stop,
Speaker 1: but you will live the rest of your life believing
Speaker 1: something about yourself that isn't true. What would you do
Speaker 1: if you knew it was true that you were a
Speaker 1: daughter of God? What would you do? What would it
Speaker 1: be like if you knew that almighty, omnipotent, all powerful
Speaker 1: God had committed his resources to you, like weak little
Speaker 1: Stephen Ferdick has committed his resources to Abby. What would
Speaker 1: you do? What could knock you off your balance? What
Speaker 1: could the opinions of others do to you? If you
Speaker 1: knew that I am not what I did, and I
Speaker 1: am not what I went through, and I am not
Speaker 1: what I thought I was, and I am not what
Speaker 1: I suffered, and I am not what I lost. Jesus said,
Speaker 1: call her back. I know Jyrus has a daughter, but
Speaker 1: she's a daughter too. I know nobody else, Caesar, but
Speaker 1: that's my daughter. Just minister, lj Just minister. I need
Speaker 1: you to receive this word. You don't have to touch
Speaker 1: the dirty part, the limited part. Come on, I'm not
Speaker 1: what I thought I am not my temptation. I am
Speaker 1: not my perversion. I am not my discouragement. I am
Speaker 1: not my last mistake. I am not my pattern. I
Speaker 1: am not my flesh. I have been crucified with Christ,
Speaker 1: and if I can touch him, I can have what
Speaker 1: he has because I am like he is. I'm a daughter,
Speaker 1: I'm a son. He called her back so she would know,
Speaker 1: You're not leaving like a thief. You're not leaving like
Speaker 1: a beggar. You're leaving like a daughter. Don't you crawl
Speaker 1: out of here waiting to get caught. She thought she
Speaker 1: was in trouble, but Jesus brought her back to tell
Speaker 1: her the truth. She's bleeding on the inside and she
Speaker 1: did something on the outside. God didn't just want to
Speaker 1: fix what was happening in her body. She heard about
Speaker 1: Jesus and that freed her from her suffering. But when
Speaker 1: she heard from Jesus, not about Jesus, it freed her
Speaker 1: from her shame. Lift your hands in the air right now.
Speaker 1: I break the power of shame off of your mind.
Speaker 1: I break the power of shame off of your past.
Speaker 1: I break the power of shame off of your body.
Speaker 1: You're going to feel it in your body. Right now,
Speaker 1: that healing is flowing to you, identity is flowing to you.
Speaker 1: God said, I stopped everything for the forgotten daughter. I
Speaker 1: got a daughter. I got a daughter. I know what
Speaker 1: you would do for your daughter. My two boys they
Speaker 1: criticize my parenting all the time. They say you treat
Speaker 1: Abby different. They say you do stuff for her that
Speaker 1: you won't do for us. Huh. They say she doesn't
Speaker 1: get in trouble for stuff. You used to punish us
Speaker 1: for stuff that she doesn't get in trouble for. And
Speaker 1: one day she heard them going on and on about this.
Speaker 1: She said, guys, it's different. I'm the daughter. I mean,
Speaker 1: even if you're a male. I'm not trying to make
Speaker 1: this about gender, but just say it's different when you're
Speaker 1: a daughter. It's different when you know that you belong.
Speaker 1: I'm not sneaking in to get a healing. I will
Speaker 1: be made. She thought, she touched, she felt, she told,
Speaker 1: and then she knew. You might have come crawling, but
Speaker 1: you're walking away. So whatever time zone this message finds
Speaker 1: you in, or whatever season of life, you could be gyrous,
Speaker 1: or you could be this daughter. How cool is it
Speaker 1: that the one that nobody saw coming is the only
Speaker 1: one he ever called daughter. And I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: you don't feel forgotten, but in case you do, the
Speaker 1: one who the disciples didn't even think was worth tracking down,
Speaker 1: it's the only one he called daughter. Gyros had a daughter,
Speaker 1: but she was a daughter or too. You belong to him.
Speaker 1: And when you go troubleshooting your soul, make sure you
Speaker 1: don't go to the wrong doctors. That'll make it worse
Speaker 1: instead of better. Don't do it. I'm really bad at troubleshooting,
Speaker 1: but I know if it gets bad enough, I got
Speaker 1: to take this back to Apple. Some things can only
Speaker 1: be diagnosed by the manufacturer. You hear me. Sometimes I
Speaker 1: need to take it to the genius bar Well. Some
Speaker 1: things I need to take to Jesus, Some things I
Speaker 1: need to take to him. I'm not what I thought.
Speaker 1: I'm not what I thought you mean, I'm not the
Speaker 1: woman with the issue of blood. When we get to heaven,
Speaker 1: we'll all have nicknames, and it won't be the woman
Speaker 1: with the issue of blood. This woman, I can imagine,
Speaker 1: because she's bold. We'll be standing there at the front
Speaker 1: of the line in case you feel unworthy, in case
Speaker 1: you feel like you can't come in. She's gonna be like, Hey,
Speaker 1: you might remember me from March chapter five. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: woman with the issue of La nah nah nah, the
Speaker 1: only one he ever called daughter. Now, come on, if
Speaker 1: you got bold faith, if you got grace, faith, not
Speaker 1: work spaid, not what I did. I'm not what they said.
Speaker 1: I'm not what I'm calling through. Lord, bless your sons
Speaker 1: and daughters today. Call them by name. I don't know
Speaker 1: their name. You do, God. I thank you for j
Speaker 1: I thank you for I. Thank you for Charrell. I
Speaker 1: thank you for for Betty and for Sharing. I thank
Speaker 1: you for Ebony. God, I thank you for Peter and
Speaker 1: for Grason, for Cammy and for Kelly. You're calling them
Speaker 1: by name. These are your daughters. These are your daughters.
Speaker 1: And Mary and Tamla and the cold. Oh, they're going
Speaker 1: so fast. Look at all those daughters and sons. And
Speaker 1: they're not leaving this sermon today bleeding on the inside.
Speaker 1: They're not leaving the sermon today, just bleeding on the inside.
Speaker 1: Give them a thought to hold on to. I'm accepted,
Speaker 1: I'm loved. Get that thought and hold on for dear life,
Speaker 1: and you will be healed in Jesus' name. Come on
Speaker 1: and take just a second and say I'm not what
Speaker 1: I thought. I'm not what I thought. Right there in
Speaker 1: the chat, I'm not what I thought. Maybe you need
Speaker 1: to send a message to somebody who underestimated you. I'm
Speaker 1: not what you thought. You told me. I never amount
Speaker 1: to anything, but I touched somebody who knows something you
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm getting this fixed on the inside. I
Speaker 1: have a child of God. We bless your name. Thank
Speaker 1: you for your grace. Our teams are here right now
Speaker 1: to minister to you. If you have a prayer request,
Speaker 1: put it in the chat. In fact, right now, one
Speaker 1: of our team members is going to lead you in
Speaker 1: a prayer to receive Jesus Christ as your savior and
Speaker 1: being made whole again. Right now, we're praying with you.
Speaker 1: We're praying with you right now. Well, I want to
Speaker 1: pray with you personally right now, which you buy your head. Lord,
Speaker 1: I thank you so much for your sons and daughters,
Speaker 1: your daughters and sons, you brought this word to today,
Speaker 1: and we may not touch physically right now, but we
Speaker 1: joined together in the spirit in this moment. You say
Speaker 1: in your word that whoever calls on the name of
Speaker 1: the Lord will be saved. Right now if you feel
Speaker 1: God drawing you to give your life to Jesus Christ,
Speaker 1: I want you to pray this after me. It's not
Speaker 1: a magic prayer. The woman wasn't healed by her superstition.
Speaker 1: She was healed by her faith. And it's by grace
Speaker 1: through faith that we are saying. If you want to
Speaker 1: invite Jesus Christ to be the Lord and savior of
Speaker 1: your life right now, I want you to pray this
Speaker 1: after me out loud if you can't, but in your
Speaker 1: heart he hears you. Pray this. Heavenly Father, I am
Speaker 1: a sinner in need of a savior, and I believe
Speaker 1: that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the
Speaker 1: savior of the world. And today I make Jesus the
Speaker 1: Lord of my life. I believe he died that I
Speaker 1: would be forgiven and rose again to give me life.
Speaker 1: Now receive this new life. This is my new beginning.
Speaker 1: I am a child of God. Man. What an awesome
Speaker 1: privilege to pray with you today and to minister to
Speaker 1: you God's word. What God says you are, not what
Speaker 1: people say you are, not what you thought you were,
Speaker 1: not even what you have been up until this point.
Speaker 1: What God knows you to be. I'm telling you I
Speaker 1: still feel the revelation coming right now, even as I
Speaker 1: give you this little outro. But I'm going to close
Speaker 1: for now. We love being your extended church family, whether
Speaker 1: you're a part of our church or whether God just
Speaker 1: used this ministry in your life today. Thank you forgiving,
Speaker 1: for praying, for sowing into good ground all over the world.
Speaker 1: It's bearing fruit because of you, and I'm so thankful
Speaker 1: for you. I'll see you next time. God bless you.
