36

Speaker 5: this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future.

37
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 5: I hope you enjoy this message. The other day, I

38
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 5: was down here at the altar and I was praying

39
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 5: for a beautiful young woman. She was telling me what

40
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 5: she was concerned about and what she wanted me to

41
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 5: pray for, and then she looked right at me and

42
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 5: she said, I feel unnoticed by God. I feel like

43
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 5: God doesn't even care.

44
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 4: About what's going on with me.

45
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 5: You know, I believe that sometimes we can all feel

46
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 5: that way. We get struggling with something so long in

47
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 5: our life, we wonder, God, where are you. Do you

48
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 5: even see what's going on in my life? Do you

49
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 5: even care? Sometimes we're in a room like this and

50
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 5: we feel like just one person in the crowd. God,

51
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 5: how do you find me in the midst of all

52
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 5: these people? But can I tell you today, God's eyes

53
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 5: are on you. I want to be the one that

54
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 5: reminds you.

55
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: God sees you.

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 5: The Bible says that he knew you before the foundation

57
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 5: of the world, that.

58
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 4: He handpicked you.

59
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 5: See, he knows every single hair on your head. Now

60
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 5: that blows my mind.

61
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 4: But God is God, and if.

62
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 5: He said it, I believe it no matter what I

63
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 5: feel like, even if I feel alone in a crowded room,

64
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 5: I'm gonna stand on the word that God says he

65
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 5: knew me. He knows my down city, and he knows

66
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 5: my uprising, and Bible says he knows my thoughts from Afar.

67
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 5: I don't even have to speak anything, and God already

68
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 5: knows me. You see, God knows you today. But if

69
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 5: we're gonna overcome those crushing feelings of feeling alone, feeling

70
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 5: uncared for, We're gonna have to stir up our faith.

71
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 5: We're gonna have to remind ourself every day God does

72
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 5: know me, He does care for me. And me and

73
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 5: God we're a majority. We can do anything but fail. See,

74
00:03:53,560 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 5: with God, anything is possible. Anything is possible. Whatever, why

75
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 5: are you're facing, It's possible if you take hold of God. Luke,

76
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 5: Chapter thirteen one, Jesus was teaching in one of the

77
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 5: synagogues on this Sabbath day. There was people all around.

78
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 5: It was crowded, and he began.

79
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: To teach them.

80
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 5: And in the middle of his teaching he stopped. He

81
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 5: stopped because he took notice of a woman that was

82
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 5: in the crowd. You see, the woman that was in

83
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 5: this crowd. She wasn't dressed beautifully, she didn't walk in late,

84
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 5: and that's why he noticed her. The woman that was

85
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 5: in this crowd, the Bible says.

86
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 4: Was crippled.

87
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 5: In fact, she was bent over like a horseshoe. It

88
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: said she couldn't even straighten up. Luke describes her as

89
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 5: a woman that was afflicted with a spirit of infirmity.

90
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 5: Now we don't know what that infirmity was, but it

91
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 5: was something that had bound her up. We don't know

92
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 5: what had happened in her life, why her body was

93
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 5: so weak and so frail, But she was in the

94
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 5: synagogue that day. Bent over low. Now, if I asked

95
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 5: you to stand up right now and I said, hey,

96
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 5: let's everybody, let's bend over, you would go Victoria, quit

97
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 5: being so silly, you probably laugh a little bit.

98
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 4: You'd be there. But if you were bent over.

99
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 5: For eighteen years, it wouldn't be so funny. You see,

100
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 5: the Bible said she was bent over for eighteen long years.

101
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 5: You see, I'm sure there were people standing, and there

102
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 5: were people's city. The most amazing thing to me that

103
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 5: day was that Jesus noticed her.

104
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 4: See he fixed his eyes on her that day.

105
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 5: I'm sure when she came in she didn't feel like

106
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 5: anybody knew who she was. She felt very unnoticed. But

107
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 5: the good news is Jesus saw her and he knew

108
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 5: all about her. In fact, he immediately called that woman forward.

109
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 5: He stalked everything that he was doing, and he called

110
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 5: her forward. Can you imagine that sweet little woman. I

111
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 5: don't know how old she was, but she was been over.

112
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 5: So she just appears to me like she'd have felt

113
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 5: pretty frill and old. She might not have been.

114
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 4: We just know she had it for eighteen years.

115
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 5: But she began moving slowly towards Jesus, and he spoke

116
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 5: this word to her. He said, woman, you are free

117
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 5: from your infirmity today. You're free. I mean she was

118
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 5: shuffling and she heard those words, I'm free from my

119
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 5: infirmity today. Then he touched her, and the Bible said,

120
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 5: she immediately stood up. She hadn't stood up for eighteen years.

121
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 5: This woman had been looking at the ground. All she

122
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 5: had seen was the dust of the ground and people's feet.

123
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 5: She didn't even see their faces. She didn't even see

124
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 5: Jesus that day. But when he said, you are loosed

125
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 5: from what is binding you, and he touched her, and

126
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 5: she stood up. Can you imagine the first face she

127
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 5: had seen in this upright position.

128
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 4: Was a face of God.

129
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 5: It was a face of Jesus. You see, she felt

130
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 5: like no one saw her. She had an identity of

131
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 5: being crippled. But Jesus saw her as a daughter of Abraham.

132
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 5: You see, he didn't see a crippled woman whenever everyone

133
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 5: else did. He saw a daughter of promise, and he

134
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 5: set her free that day. Now I was thinking about this.

135
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 5: She'd been crippled for eighteen years, she'd been looking down

136
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 5: at the ground. I wonder how long it took her

137
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 5: to realize that she was set free. But she wasn't

138
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 5: crippled anymore. I mean, she was standing up straight. But

139
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 5: you know, when you've been a certain way for so long,

140
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 5: it's hard to believe you could be another way. It's

141
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 5: kind of like an attitude when that attitude's had you

142
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 5: for so you've had this attitude for so long, somehow that.

143
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 4: Attitude has you.

144
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 5: I wonder how long it took her to realize she

145
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 5: just got set free. And I believe when I'm talking

146
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 5: to somebody today that's bent down under a heavy load,

147
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 5: you don't even realize that you're a son or a

148
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 5: daughter of Promise, and that God has already spoken the words.

149
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 5: He already sets you free.

150
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 4: He's already freed.

151
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 5: You from what would bind you.

152
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 4: But you just don't realize it yet.

153
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 5: You see, the enemy wants you low, real low. He

154
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 5: wants you looking down. He certainly doesn't want you to

155
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 5: see the face of your savior. He doesn't want to

156
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 5: see you to see that you are a son and

157
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 5: daughter of Promise. You see, he called her a daughter

158
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 5: of Abraham. There were some opponents in the crowd that

159
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 5: didn't want her.

160
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 4: Healed that day.

161
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 5: They were looking for all the reasons that women shouldn't

162
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 5: be healed. But you know what he said. He said,

163
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 5: this woman is the daughter of Abraham. She has every

164
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 5: right and every authority to be healed any day of

165
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 5: the week. And sometimes people try to keep you bent

166
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 5: over with their words, with the situation. Man, your own

167
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 5: mind tries to keep you way down. But can I

168
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 5: tell you you have all power and authority to stand

169
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 5: up straight, because Jesus is already calling you forward. We

170
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 5: got to shake the dust off of us and stand

171
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 5: up and move forward. You know, I admire about this woman.

172
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 5: I admire the fact that she was in the synagogue

173
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 5: that day. She didn't let her bent over cripple condition

174
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 5: keep her from the position of hearing what Jesus had

175
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 5: to say. And too often we allow the conditions in

176
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 5: our life to keep us from our position of faith.

177
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 5: We say, I can't come to church today, I'm too tired.

178
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 5: Me and my boss has me working six days a week.

179
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 5: My children have me running them to every activity that

180
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 5: there are.

181
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 4: I'm tired.

182
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 5: I need to rest. You see, nobody would have blamed

183
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 5: that woman for staying home on the Sabbath day, but

184
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 5: she didn't see she didn't allow her condition.

185
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 4: To change her position.

186
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 5: She was a daughter of Promise, whether she knew it

187
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 5: or not, and that's what kept her going.

188
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 4: I want to encourage you today to stir your faith.

189
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 5: Don't allow anything to bend you over, to bind you up,

190
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 5: because whom the sunset's.

191
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 4: Free is free.

192
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 5: Indeed, you are free. Indeed, today you've been bought with

193
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 5: a great price. You are joint heirs with Jesus Christ.

194
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 5: You have a covenant between you and God. You see,

195
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 5: that's what that woman had. That's what Jesus saw. He

196
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 5: didn't see her crippled body. He saw his covenant with her.

197
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 5: He saw an agreement that couldn't be broken. And you

198
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 5: stand in a position today of covenant. There is an

199
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 5: agreement between you and God that cannot be broken. There's

200
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 5: no devil on earth that can bind you anymore because

201
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 5: you're free, free, free. Indeed, you see, it's up to

202
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 5: us to get ourself under the word, to understand that

203
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 5: Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He's gonna

204
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 5: be the same for you as he is for your children.

205
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 5: He is the same Jesus, with the same covenant blood covenant.

206
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 5: You see, when we stir up our faith and we

207
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 5: realize the power that Jesus has towards us, we will

208
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 5: say God can. When we stir up our faith and

209
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 5: realize the love He has for us, will say God

210
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 5: will listen. God can, and God will reposition you no

211
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 5: matter what situation you're in right now, and He'll call

212
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 5: you forward and you will become everything He's intended you

213
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 5: to be.

214
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:14,360
