WEBVTT - I’ve Got To Get Up

0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick.

0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:05.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm the pastor of Elevation Church and this is our podcast.

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:07.760
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to thank you for joining us today.

0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:10.959
<v Speaker 1>Hope this inspires you. Hope it builds your faith. Hope

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>it gives your perspective to see God is moving in

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:14.680
<v Speaker 1>your life. Enjoy the message.

0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:20.960
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says, sometime later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:24.600
<v Speaker 2>for one of the Jewish festivals. Now there is in Jerusalem,

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 2>near the sheep Gate a pool which an aramaic is

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 2>called Bethesda, and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades.

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Five is the number of grace symbolically in the Bible

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot of times when you see it, and the

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 2>word bethesda means house of mercy. So they're going to

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 2>a place to get mercy, to get a miracle. And

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 2>the Bible says in verse three, here a great number

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 2>of disabled people used to lie, the blind, the lame,

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 2>the paralyzed. And you know, when we read that list,

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 2>it's easy for us sometimes to think that the physical

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 2>condition are the ones that need the greatest healing. But

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, you might be in here tonight and what

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:09.319
<v Speaker 2>you're dealing with is crippling anxiety. Maybe in here tonight

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 2>and maybe you're dealing with the condition that we can't

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 2>see outwardly.

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.039
<v Speaker 1>But the Lord still wants to touch that area of

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>your life.

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 2>But notice in verse five, this is the important word

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:24.319
<v Speaker 2>to me, It says one one who was there.

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>That's how personal God is. One who was there had been.

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>An invalid for thirty eight years. When Jesus saw him

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 2>lying there and learned that he had been in this

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 2>condition for a long time, he asked.

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.479
<v Speaker 1>Him, do you want to get well?

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Oh, the way you answer this question is going

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>to mark your life from this moment forward.

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I dare somebody to shout.

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 2>I want it, Lord, Yeah, I want it, Lord. I

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 2>want to get better. I want to grow out of this.

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 2>I want these chains to break. I want to be

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 2>set free. I want to move forward. I want this

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 2>bitterness gone. Somebody shout, I want it. But the invalid

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 2>replied verse seven, Sir, I have no one to help

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 2>me into the pool.

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>When the water is stirred.

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>While I'm trying to get in, someone else goes down

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>ahead of me. In other words, he's got excuses. But

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 2>verse eight is really the power of the passage.

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:38.679
<v Speaker 3>Then Jesus said to him, get up, pick up your

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 3>mat and walk.

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 2>At Once the man was cured, he picked up his

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 2>mat and walk. Let's clap our hands one more time

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 2>for the word of God. Now, before you take your seat,

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I need you to look at your neighbor. Look at

0:02:57.919 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 2>either one of them. You want to whichever one you

0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 2>like the best. Look at your neighbor and give him

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 2>my sermon title. Say neighbor, I've got to get up.

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 2>High five three people tell him I've got to get up.

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I've got to get up. I've got to get up,

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>got to do it.

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 2>I've got to get up. You may be seated, I've

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 2>got to get up. I haven't preached it like this

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 2>any of the other nights. I just felt like somebody

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 2>in Miami needed to declare that.

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I've got to get up. I've got to get up.

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Stories like this in the Bible remind me that when

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 2>God gets ready to do something, nothing can stop him.

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 2>When God gets ready to move in your life, nothing

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 2>can stop him. Don't worry about the people who don't

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 2>like you. God will make the right people like you,

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>and he'll remove the wrong people from your life. Boy,

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 2>you shouted over that somebody's going through a breakup, go

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 2>ahead and praise God for the breakup that's going to

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 2>lead to the breakthrough.

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 2>When God gets ready to move, nothing can stop him.

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Nobody can stop him. I found that much to be true.

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 2>When we started our church in Charlotte. I told a

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of people I wanted our church to be multicultural.

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 2>In other words, just because I'm a white pastor, that

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.160
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean I just want to pastor.

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>All white people.

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Just because I grew up in Monk's Corner, South Carolina

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean I only want to reach people from South Carolina.

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 2>I want to reach everybody God's called me to reach.

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 2>And one guy I told this too. He was an

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 2>expert in starting churches, and he said, that won't work

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 2>in Charlotte. You can't unify people in Charlotte. Racism is

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 2>too ingrained in the culture of Charlotte to have a

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 2>multicultural church. And you know, every time I look around

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 2>our church on Sunday morning and I see white people

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 2>and black people, and I see people you know that

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 2>maybe don't even share the same background, they only maybe

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 2>share the same religious background worship in side by side.

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 2>I am so glad that God did not consult that

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 2>guy to see if.

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.839
<v Speaker 1>He could have a multicultural church in Charlotte.

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 2>And that's the beautiful thing about God in our lives.

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 2>The last time I was in Miami to preach to you,

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.720
<v Speaker 2>I shared this story. I'd like to share a little

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.160
<v Speaker 2>bit of it again about my dad. You know, when

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 2>I gave my life to Jesus, I was sixteen years old,

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 2>and I mentioned the name of the town I grew

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 2>up in.

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>It's called Monk's Corner, South Carolina.

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Now, my wife was growing up in Miami and I

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.239
<v Speaker 2>was growing up in Monk's Corner.

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 1>They're very different.

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 2>The town I grew up in had six thousand people

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 2>in it, and so this room tonight, if you cut

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:55.599
<v Speaker 2>it in half, what's the town I grew up in.

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 1>It's just crazy that I'm here.

0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 2>But when God gets ready to do something, nothing can

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:04.159
<v Speaker 2>stop up him. And to be honest, when I first

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>gave my life to Christ, I was so passionate that

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 2>I was a little obnoxious, And when I would share

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>the Gospel with people, I would always.

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Be very judgmental and condemning.

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 2>So basically means I would run around telling everybody they

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 2>were going to hell for everything all the time, not

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 2>just I was telling them Jesus loved them. I'm like,

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 2>you are going to hell. You going to hell for

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 2>smoking weed. You go into hell for drinking beer. You're

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 2>going to hell for watching R rated movies. You might

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 2>go to hell for watching a PG thirteen one movie.

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.119
<v Speaker 2>I just don't know what scenes are in it yet.

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 2>You go into hell for listening to secular music. Just

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 2>everybody's going to hell. But I meant, well, you know,

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm still passionate, but I've adjusted my technique a little bit.

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:46.599
<v Speaker 2>But the first significant person that I was really praying

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 2>for was my dad.

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Now my dad is in heaven. My dad went to

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 1>be with the Lord in twenty thirteen.

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.599
<v Speaker 2>And when I gave my life to Jesus, he was

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 2>not following Christ and he was dealing with several addictions

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 2>in his life.

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>He had a very traumatic childhood.

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.119
<v Speaker 2>He lost his own father at a very young age,

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:07.800
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of the things about his life I

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 2>would not even learn until much later. But at age sixteen,

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>I remember telling my dad one morning I was getting

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 2>ready to go to church and he wasn't going, and

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I looked at him on the way out the door

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 2>and I said, you know, because I had to borrow

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 2>his tie and stuff like that, but he wasn't using

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 2>it to go to church.

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>So I'm putting on his tie out.

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Of his closet and I said, Dad, before long, you're

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.559
<v Speaker 2>gonna be dressing up to go to church too. God's

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 2>about to get a hold of your life. You need

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 2>to get ready because it's gona be amazing. Because I'm

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 2>praying for you. It's gonna be awesome. So just get ready,

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 2>and I walked out the door. Now I know how

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 2>you want this story to go. You want him to

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 2>jump in the car and follow me that day, but

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 2>that didn't happen. About two years later, I was on

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 2>a traveling ministry team from our little Baptist college, which

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 2>is actually how I got Holly to be my girlfriend.

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>I put her on my ministry team, which is game.

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 2>You gotta admit that is godly game. Hey girl, do

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 2>you want to be on my summer ministry team? And

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.160
<v Speaker 2>I knew if I could expose her to my anointing

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 2>for a whole summer, she would find it irresistible.

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, the last.

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Stop of the summer where we were going to all

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 2>these little churches was at my home church. And again

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 2>it's been a couple of years since that conversation with

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 2>my dad, and I preached the sermon that morning, and

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 2>in the Baptist church, you would preach and then give

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 2>an invitation for people to come forward and give their

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:32.199
<v Speaker 2>life to Christ. And I remember that particular morning feeling

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 2>like I had failed in my sermon.

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's a sense you get as a preacher.

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Like I just wasn't clear. I just didn't get the

0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.599
<v Speaker 2>job done. I don't think they got it. And I

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 2>went and sat down on the front row and I

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 2>bowed my head, which would have looked like I was praying,

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 2>but I was really embarrassed. I didn't want to look

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.200
<v Speaker 2>and see that nobody was going to come to the

<v Speaker 1>To use people who aren't.

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.760
<v Speaker 2>That smart, That way he gets all the Glory when

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 2>he shows you what. To do although not, too smart

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 2>but Trust, in god.

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 1>People's shall.

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 2>And so in, this passage we have a man who

0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 2>is too. Far gone he's been in this condition thirty.

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:54.559
<v Speaker 2>Eight years he's been unable to move thirty. Eight years

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 2>he has been unable to do what other people do

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 2>effortlessly thirty eight years.

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:03.719
<v Speaker 1>Until, one day.

0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:13.080
<v Speaker 2>One man speaks one word over, his life And when jesus,

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 2>showed up the man didn't even get a chance. To

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 2>refuse jesus just, told him you've got to.

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Get up.

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:31.959
<v Speaker 2>Tell, your neighbor you've got to. Get up, that's crazy.

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Isn't It because jesus wanted to use. This man he

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.520
<v Speaker 2>wanted his mat where he used to lay to become.

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:38.640
<v Speaker 1>His.

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Testimony yeah god will use the thing that you're. Struggling

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 2>with he will use the thing that you're asking him.

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>To take away to teach.

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.720
<v Speaker 2>You grace he will use the thing that you struggle

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 2>with so that when he sets you free, from it

0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.200
<v Speaker 2>you can go back to other people who struggle, and

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 2>say let me tell You what god did.

0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>For me if he did it, for me he can

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.440
<v Speaker 1>do it. For you that's why you've got to. Get up.

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 2>But you don't have to do it. By yourself because

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 2>the hero of this story is not. THE man i

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 2>don't even like the man in. This story he's full.

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Of excuses we find out later in verse fourteen that

0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 2>he lived a. Sinful life he didn't ask to. Get

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.800
<v Speaker 2>healed he Didn't tell jesus. Thank you he didn't Even

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 2>know jesus's name after, the heal and he just took

0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.040
<v Speaker 2>the free gift and was trying to sneak out of

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 2>there before the man changed. HIS mind i don't even

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 2>find this guy particularly charismatic or worthy of, a miracle

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 2>But when god gets ready to, do something nothing can.

0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Stop HIM.

0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.720
<v Speaker 2>So i want to show you briefly three Things that.

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.280

<v Speaker 5>Says, Say it, Jesus says. Jesus stops. Jesus sees, Jesus says.

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 5>Jesus stops imagine being one of. His disciples you're an

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:24.760
<v Speaker 5>apprentice to the most important man in.

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Human history, and, Remember y'all jesus doesn't.

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Have long he only has three years of public ministry

0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 2>before he goes to.

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 1>The cross and so, one day as.

<v Speaker 2>He's headed up for This important, jewish festival he Turns

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.000
<v Speaker 2>To peter andrew or one of those boys, and, Says

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 2>hey i've got A stop i need to make before

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 2>we get to.

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>The temple and, it's, like, okay well if.

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 2>We're stopping, You know jesus is a healer and a

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 2>savior and, a redeemer and he's got all these. Important

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:57.880
<v Speaker 2>things we must be stopping for somebody. Very important so you.

0:14:58.240 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Follow him just.

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Imagine you're Following, g Jesus and, JESUS says i have

0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 2>A stop i need, to make and you pull up

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:07.560
<v Speaker 2>to this pool where people are lying around waiting for

0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.720
<v Speaker 2>the water to be stirred because they are that desperate for.

0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>A miracle And the bible says that.

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 2>They were blind and laying. And paralyzed now notice none

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 2>of them are mentioned by. Their name they are all

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:27.360
<v Speaker 2>mentioned by. Their condition and THE reason i point that

0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 2>out to you is because sometimes you can go through

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.240
<v Speaker 2>something so long that you forget who.

<v Speaker 2>is so deep that you no Longer say i'm dealing.

0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.680

0:25:53.119 --> 0:25:58.160
<v Speaker 2>there now what's so significant, about That, Pastor steven why

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:00.280
<v Speaker 2>are you stopping to tell? Me that because think this

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:04.639
<v Speaker 2>man was lying on, a mat and most people only

0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:08.240
<v Speaker 2>identified him with. His mat they only saw what he,

0:26:08.280 --> 0:26:12.359
<v Speaker 2>Couldn't do they only saw what he. Couldn't Be but

0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 2>jesus didn't see the. Mat first he saw.

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:23.439
<v Speaker 1>The man he sees me say it. Out loud he.

0:26:23.480 --> 0:26:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Sees me he sees me in, my storm he sees

0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 1>me in.

0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 2>My disappointment he even sees the parts of ME that

0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:34.800
<v Speaker 2>i want to hide from. Everybody else he sees the

0:26:34.840 --> 0:26:36.920
<v Speaker 2>parts of ME that i won't even admit. To myself

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:42.320
<v Speaker 2>and one of the most amazing things to Realize. About

0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:44.280
<v Speaker 2>JESUS and i want to say this, just, right okay

0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:47.679
<v Speaker 2>so bear with me for a MOMENT when i realized

0:26:47.880 --> 0:26:51.240
<v Speaker 2>that the one who knows me, the best loves me,

0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 2>the most is set, me free because if he knows

0:26:57.119 --> 0:27:01.159
<v Speaker 2>me totally and loves, me completely what can others do?

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:01.560
<v Speaker 1>To me.

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Jesus saw the man, lying there and he learned that

0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 2>his condition was so bad that it. Looked hopeless like

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:13.840
<v Speaker 2>my dad, who said you had no idea how FAR gone.

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:17.080
<v Speaker 2>I was And then jesus is, probably thinking but you

0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 2>have no idea HOW good.

0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I am you have. No, idea hey you have no

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:22.480
<v Speaker 1>idea HOW.

0:27:22.359 --> 0:27:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Good i am at. My, Job see jesus is the Word.

0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:26.159
<v Speaker 2>Of god he doesn't speak the Word. Of god he

0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:28.919
<v Speaker 2>is the Word. Of god So when jesus sees, the

0:27:28.960 --> 0:27:30.520
<v Speaker 2>man he doesn't see him where.

0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:31.800
<v Speaker 1>He is he sees who he.

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:35.639
<v Speaker 2>Really is and sometimes you get confused about who you

0:27:35.680 --> 0:27:40.560
<v Speaker 2>really are because all you see is. Your mat all

0:27:40.560 --> 0:27:42.320
<v Speaker 2>you see is. Your mat all you see is the

0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:48.639
<v Speaker 2>thing you. Struggle with one of the things that really

0:27:48.680 --> 0:27:52.000
<v Speaker 2>makes me laugh about. My WIFE now i need you

0:27:52.080 --> 0:27:53.399
<v Speaker 2>all to pray for her, about this because this is

0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:54.920
<v Speaker 2>the only issue that she has other.

0:27:55.000 --> 0:27:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Than this she is truly the, perfect woman and she's a.

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Great gift but one thing that she does is.

0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:04.000
<v Speaker 2>So confusing you Know, how christmas when you give, your

0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:06.240
<v Speaker 2>gifts you kind of like stagger them where you start

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:07.840
<v Speaker 2>with the smallest one and then you go to the

0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:10.800
<v Speaker 2>biggest one if you're getting multiple gifts. For, somebody Okay

0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:13.680
<v Speaker 2>so holly always gets, great gifts but she does this

0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:18.320
<v Speaker 2>weird thing with boxes because she's she's got all these

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:20.639
<v Speaker 2>really nice boxes and she doesn't want them to go.

0:28:20.680 --> 0:28:23.159
<v Speaker 2>To waste so what, she'll do and you'll pray for her,

0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:24.840
<v Speaker 2>about This the lord can. DELIVER her i have faith that.

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 2>He can when she gives you the, cheapest gift a

0:28:28.119 --> 0:28:30.399
<v Speaker 2>lot of times it will be in the, nicest box

0:28:31.640 --> 0:28:35.679
<v Speaker 2>which is so disappointing when you open the paper and

0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:39.640
<v Speaker 2>the Box, Says nordstrom and then you open the box

0:28:40.280 --> 0:28:43.600
<v Speaker 2>and the gift the Box, says nordstrom and the gift Says,

0:28:43.680 --> 0:28:44.600
<v Speaker 2>dollar tree.

0:28:46.640 --> 0:28:48.600
<v Speaker 1>And you'll open the, box like what?

0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Is this this doesn't Match that she will put the

0:28:54.200 --> 0:29:00.400
<v Speaker 2>worst gift in the. Best Box but god will do just.

0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:07.840
<v Speaker 2>The opposite god will package some of his best gifts

0:29:08.880 --> 0:29:13.440
<v Speaker 2>in some of the. Ugliest boxes have any of you

<v Speaker 1>You up this is.

0:31:31.480 --> 0:31:35.600

<v Speaker 1>You tonight it's.

0:31:36.800 --> 0:31:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Called faith it's called the Power. Of god it's the Presence.

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Of god it's the Name. Of jesus this is. Not

0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:48.160
<v Speaker 2>hype this. Is hope it's been too long that you've been.

0:31:48.200 --> 0:31:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Down there and with one Word from jesus verse, number

0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Eight then jesus said, to him you've got to. Get

0:31:59.360 --> 0:32:02.120

<v Speaker 1>It worked.

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:13.840
<v Speaker 2>He, got up and he took up his net just

0:32:13.960 --> 0:32:17.959
<v Speaker 2>because he did what the. MAN said i wonder what

0:32:17.960 --> 0:32:20.960
<v Speaker 2>would happen tonight if you would just do what the.

0:32:20.960 --> 0:32:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Man said this guy. Got healed and he didn't Even know.

0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Jesus's name you know, A name you know.

0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:35.120
<v Speaker 2>A name that can silence. Roaring waves you know a

0:32:35.200 --> 0:32:38.320
<v Speaker 2>name that can empty out. A grave you know a

0:32:38.400 --> 0:32:43.680
<v Speaker 2>name that when, it resounds chains have. To break and

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:47.880
<v Speaker 2>the men got up and began. To walk and when

0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:51.960
<v Speaker 2>he did, verse Nine the bible says it Was a,

0:32:52.000 --> 0:32:56.800
<v Speaker 2>sabbath day which was not the day that they thought

0:32:56.800 --> 0:32:59.680
<v Speaker 2>he was supposed to, Be healed but it was the

0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Day that god decided to. Heal him Because when god

0:33:03.080 --> 0:33:04.600
<v Speaker 2>gets ready to, do something.

0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Nothing can.

0:33:07.160 --> 0:33:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Stop HIM didn't i say that at the beginning of.

0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:10.720
<v Speaker 1>My sermon so.

0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Watch this this, Is, crazy miami get ready. For this in,

0:33:14.400 --> 0:33:17.560
<v Speaker 2>verse Ten the jewish leader said, to him the man

0:33:17.600 --> 0:33:20.800
<v Speaker 2>who had, been healed it Is. The sabbath the law

0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:25.480
<v Speaker 2>forbids you from carrying. Your mat in, other words you can't. Do.

0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:27.120
<v Speaker 1>THAT now i want you.

0:33:27.160 --> 0:33:32.320
<v Speaker 2>To see the coldest verse in The Entire new testament is,

0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:36.000
<v Speaker 2>verse eleven because they're saying you can't, do that you

0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:38.560
<v Speaker 2>can't carry. Your mat there will always be a voice

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:40.800
<v Speaker 2>telling you you can't Do what god told you. To

0:33:40.840 --> 0:33:44.320
<v Speaker 2>do but his voice is the voice, that matters because

0:33:44.360 --> 0:33:47.000
<v Speaker 2>it is the voice that spoke the world into being out.

0:33:47.040 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Of nothing it is the voice. That heals it is

0:33:49.680 --> 0:33:51.680
<v Speaker 1>the voice. That saves so.

0:33:51.600 --> 0:33:54.920
<v Speaker 2>You've got one voice saying you can't, Do that and in,

0:33:55.040 --> 0:33:58.120
<v Speaker 2>verse eleven the man. Does something this is so powerful,

0:33:58.120 --> 0:34:06.480
<v Speaker 2>to me. He replied the man who made me well said,

0:34:06.520 --> 0:34:14.239
<v Speaker 2>to Me because, Jesus stops, Jesus sees, jesus says so

0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:17.719
<v Speaker 2>it says if, HE'S saying i appreciate your opinion that you're.

0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:19.840
