Speaker 1: Welcome to Transformation Church podcast, where we represent God to
Speaker 1: the lost and found for transformation in Christ. We're so
Speaker 1: glad you're here and wherever you're listening from, we believe
Speaker 1: God will transform your life. Did today's message.
Speaker 2: And there was a woman with a blood flow for
Speaker 2: twelve years, who had suffered much under many doctors. She
Speaker 2: has spent all that she had without benefit. Instead, she
Speaker 2: grew worse when she heard about your shoe as she
Speaker 2: came through the crowd from behind and touched this garment.
Speaker 2: So she kept saying, if I touch even his clothes,
Speaker 2: I shall be healed. Now that's some faith right there.
Speaker 2: She didn't say, She didn't say I might be. She said,
Speaker 2: if I touch this dude's clothes, I shall be here
Speaker 2: right away. Quick work some stuff God gonna do for
Speaker 2: you in this season. It's gonna happen right by the way.
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be no gradual thing. It's gonna happen
Speaker 2: right right away. The blood flow stopped, and she felt
Speaker 2: in her body that she was healed from her disease.
Speaker 2: Once your shoe A at once your shoe A knowing
Speaker 2: in himself that power had gone out from him, turned
Speaker 2: around in the crowd and said something very specific, who
Speaker 2: touched my clothes? Disciples responded, you see the crowd pressing
Speaker 2: upon you, and you say, who touched me? But he
Speaker 2: kept looking around to see who had done this. But
Speaker 2: the woman, scared and shaking, knowing what had happened to her,
Speaker 2: came and fell down before him and told him the
Speaker 2: whole truth. And he said to her daughter, your faith,
Speaker 2: I want to go slow here. Your faith has made
Speaker 2: you well. Get this, Go in shalom. You came in bleeding.
Speaker 2: I want you to go out in peace.
Speaker 3: Go in.
Speaker 2: Shalom and be healed from your disease. In the second
Speaker 2: week of this Missing Piece series, the Holy Spirit gave
Speaker 2: me three words that I need to give somebody in
Speaker 2: this room before you go. Before you go. I know
Speaker 2: you came expecting God to move, But before you go,
Speaker 2: before you walk out of these doors, he wants you
Speaker 2: to leave with something that you didn't come with. Hear me,
Speaker 2: He wants you to leave with something that you didn't get.
Speaker 2: You came to Jesus, you got something, but you was
Speaker 2: still about to leave. So before you go, that's what
Speaker 2: I want to preach to you today before you about
Speaker 2: your heads's prayer. With the word, shall the Holy Spirit
Speaker 2: give us peace before we go? Amen? And there was
Speaker 2: a woman with the blood flow for twelve years. Now this,
Speaker 2: this word ann means that there was something that was
Speaker 2: happening before that, and the writer decided to tag this
Speaker 2: story in to a story that was already in progress.
Speaker 2: Jesus had came from the opposite side of the sea,
Speaker 2: and there was a very accomplished public figure who had
Speaker 2: influence in the city named Gyros. Gyros ran up to Jesus,
Speaker 2: met him face to face as soon as he had
Speaker 2: come to shore, and he said, Master, my daughter is sick.
Speaker 2: Will you please come pray for her? Would you please come.
Speaker 2: I've heard about your reputation. I know what you can do.
Speaker 2: Would you please come to my house? Would you please
Speaker 2: pray for my daughter. So a great crowd had gathered
Speaker 2: around Jesus and they start in the direction of Gyrous's house.
Speaker 2: Because this is Gyrous's story until that and came in.
Speaker 2: The story was about one man until and came in.
Speaker 2: And is a different word than butt. When the word
Speaker 2: butt comes up, that means that whatever was happening happening before.
Speaker 2: Forget about it, because now what we're about to say
Speaker 2: after is either greater than or in opposition to what
Speaker 2: we said before. But I love the word and because
Speaker 2: and is this conjunction word that makes two things true.
Speaker 2: Gyrus is the one that got your shoe as attention.
Speaker 2: Gyrus is on the way. I'm sorry, your shoe is
Speaker 2: on the way to Gyrus's house. But it is this
Speaker 2: woman who has been bleeding for twelve years who interrupts
Speaker 2: the story and who draws our attention away from Gyrus
Speaker 2: and his daughter. And there was a woman who had
Speaker 2: an issue of blood for twelve years. Now, when I
Speaker 2: preach this text, there is some sensitivity and some empathy
Speaker 2: that I have to have because obviously I am not
Speaker 2: a woman, and I do not know what it is
Speaker 2: like to have a blood flow for twelve years. I
Speaker 2: don't know what it was like for this woman to
Speaker 2: perhaps think, twelve years in the past that perhaps she
Speaker 2: was having her monthly cycle. Maybe she thought this was
Speaker 2: going to last, as the others do, for a few days,
Speaker 2: maybe a week and a half, but then for days
Speaker 2: to turn into weeks, and then for weeks to turn
Speaker 2: into months, and to have something going on in your
Speaker 2: body that you cannot control. I don't know if there's
Speaker 2: anybody in this room that can resonate with a person
Speaker 2: who has their body betrayed them in such a way
Speaker 2: that it is doing things that you do not want
Speaker 2: it to do, but it's doing it anyway. To not
Speaker 2: have control of your faculties, to not have a diagnosis
Speaker 2: that is sufficient enough to make bleeding stop, I don't
Speaker 2: know what it is, and I'm not a woman, but
Speaker 2: I am an impath I can empathize. I could try
Speaker 2: to put myself and please, ladies, please don't be mad
Speaker 2: at me for where I tried to put myself, so
Speaker 2: I could at least understand. What I tried to at
Speaker 2: least understand is if I had a deep laceration on
Speaker 2: my inner thigh, and if I were to try to
Speaker 2: wrap that up and hope the bleeding stop. But the
Speaker 2: bleeding didn't stop after day one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, twelve,
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty as an impact. But I tried to try
Speaker 2: to at least understand, is how disruptive is this to
Speaker 2: my day to day life? How do I have to
Speaker 2: start changing how I go out and come in based
Speaker 2: on the fact that I have an internal clock now
Speaker 2: going on in my head? That no matter how many
Speaker 2: bandages I have over the wound, at some point, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna have to go back home. At some point, no
Speaker 2: matter how much I'm enjoying the party, I'm gonna have
Speaker 2: to be like, well, you look at at the time.
Speaker 2: No matter how much I'm enjoying this date, I'm uncomfortable
Speaker 2: because I know it can't go no further than what
Speaker 2: it's going right now, I'm gonna have to go because
Speaker 2: before I embarrass myself fully, I know that that the
Speaker 2: bandages are not gonna be able to hold a flow
Speaker 2: that won't stop. So I know I'm gonna be I'm
Speaker 2: gonna start spotting through my clothes. And if I start
Speaker 2: spotting through my clothes, depending on what I have on,
Speaker 2: people gonna start squinting. And if and if I'm like
Speaker 2: kind of lost in the moment and I don't know
Speaker 2: what you're squinting at, I'm automatically self com Oh, I
Speaker 2: just think your pants acute. And you're like, at this point,
Speaker 2: your whole wardrobe changes. You loved wearing whites and and
Speaker 2: and beiges and earth tones, and and you loved wearing
Speaker 2: yellows and and and and and oranges, and now you
Speaker 2: gotta wear browns. Girl, your whole wardrobe win coco. All
Speaker 2: of a sudden, what is the you weren't a lot
Speaker 2: of black nowadays? Is that a deep burgundy you got
Speaker 2: on After the first few months, you gotta be thinking
Speaker 2: it's gonna stop. At some point, maybe after the first year.
Speaker 2: You're You're like, this can't be. There's some great doctors
Speaker 2: in the area. Let me go get a diagnosis. This man.
Speaker 2: This woman had money, she had means, she she she
Speaker 2: went to doctors. Doctors gave her remedies. None of the
Speaker 2: remedies worked. Scripture says she spent all her money going
Speaker 2: to doctors for remedies and none of them worked. Here's
Speaker 2: the worst part about it. She got worse. Imagine going
Speaker 2: to a physician for healing, only to get to the
Speaker 2: physician and not only can they not help you, but
Speaker 2: what they did give you made you take the lambskin
Speaker 2: off the wall. Doc, you not who you say you are.
Speaker 2: She had gone too many doctors, she had gone everywhere
Speaker 2: she could, and she grew worse. At this point, your
Speaker 2: whole attitude gotta change, if not her, as mine. And
Speaker 2: this is just my empathic version with my deep laceration
Speaker 2: on my enner thigh. I'm over everybody. My words are short.
Speaker 2: I ain't got much to say. It's year five. I'm
Speaker 2: not that happy at your birthday. Here go your gift.
Speaker 2: God bless you. Are you okay? I'm fine? Oh my God,
Speaker 2: you know you're You're usually just much happier. I can't
Speaker 2: get into it. It's complicated. Where do I even start
Speaker 2: if I bring up the story? Where do I even
Speaker 2: start telling you what's been going on with me? It's
Speaker 2: year seven, this is now my life. I get up
Speaker 2: in the morning, I know that I got a good
Speaker 2: three or four hours before this is about to become
Speaker 2: too much for me, and I'm gonna have to go
Speaker 2: back on the inside of the house because of the
Speaker 2: culture that I live in. I can't really fellowship with
Speaker 2: people like I want, because in this state that I'm
Speaker 2: in that's only supposed to last for a few days
Speaker 2: up to a week, I am ceremonially unclean, and so
Speaker 2: if I touch someone in my impure state, they become
Speaker 2: as impure as me. So now I'm staying away from people,
Speaker 2: and people think I'm staying away because I'm funny acting,
Speaker 2: I'm actually staying away from them, so I don't contaminate them.
Speaker 2: See a lot of times when people retreat from you,
Speaker 2: it's not because they have an attitude problem. It's because
Speaker 2: they're trying to wrestle with some things that are so
Speaker 2: deep on the inside of themselves that they don't want
Speaker 2: to bring you into their drama. They're not being stand office,
Speaker 2: they're not being reclusive. It's just so complicated. I don't
Speaker 2: want to bring you into it because I'm still bleeding
Speaker 2: while I'm talking to you, and I don't want you
Speaker 2: to be as unclean as I'm in as I am,
Speaker 2: so I'm retreating and standing back from you so I
Speaker 2: can actually protect you. It's year eight, year eight, not
Speaker 2: day eight, not month eight. Year I heard there's another
Speaker 2: doctor in town. I've tried these other doctors. They haven't helped,
Speaker 2: but this one you'll hurt. You said, this one's good,
Speaker 2: I'll try him. And she goes to him and he
Speaker 2: don't help either. It's year nine, it's year ten, it's
Speaker 2: year eleven. Now what should have been a few days
Speaker 2: is a lifestyle. And you have a choice. When something's
Speaker 2: been going on so long that it's become your lifestyle.
Speaker 2: The choice is this is it. The choice is it's
Speaker 2: never going to be better than what it is right now.
Speaker 2: The choice is I've ascribed that I am now a bleeder.
Speaker 2: I now define myself by my condition. It's not something
Speaker 2: I have, it's now who I am. This is a choice.
Speaker 2: You are in charge of your inner narrative. You get
Speaker 2: to choose if you have a condition or if you
Speaker 2: are the condition. This is a good place to stop.
Speaker 2: Anybody beside myself, ever been in the season of your
Speaker 2: life where you've been doing something so long that you
Speaker 2: haven't had control over that. You just start calling yourself
Speaker 2: what you do. If you didn't call yourself society did
Speaker 2: you are a robber, You are a thief, you are
Speaker 2: a convict. You are what you did, not who you are.
Speaker 2: She had the option because it's been not one year,
Speaker 2: not five years, not eight years, not ten years. It's
Speaker 2: been twelve years. And of all places Jesus could have
Speaker 2: showed up, he shows up in this woman's city. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't know where this woman was off in the
Speaker 2: cut to get into this story. Mark is a teenager,
Speaker 2: and teenagers don't give a lot of details. You read
Speaker 2: Mark's gospel, it reads like an Instagram post and immediately
Speaker 2: Jesus went here, and immediately he went there, and straightway
Speaker 2: he went around the corner, and then he quickly dashed
Speaker 2: through the streets. What Mark, can you give us a
Speaker 2: little more detail? Nah, that stuff's boring. Mark ain't got
Speaker 2: nobody's genealogy. He ain't got one bigat. He don't care
Speaker 2: about none of that because it's.
Speaker 4: Not interesting to him. He's a teenager. Tell me what's
Speaker 4: popping off the story about this woman with the issue.
Speaker 4: When he hears it from his mentor, Peter is.
Speaker 2: Pik, He's like, tell me more about this story. He
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, you know, Gyrus, the influential god came
Speaker 2: to Jesus. He came to him face to face, and
Speaker 2: he says, can you go to my daughter's my house
Speaker 2: because my daughter's sick. And Jesus starts walking, but this
Speaker 2: crowd surrounds him, so Jesus can't walk like he wants to.
Speaker 2: The crowd actually slows his pace. And I just imagine
Speaker 2: that a woman that's been bleeding for twelve years is
Speaker 2: not spry. I don't imagine her to be quick. I
Speaker 2: don't imagine her with all the stuff she has to
Speaker 2: do to be outside, to be like, oh.
Speaker 5: Word, this crowd slows Jesus down enough that this woman
Speaker 5: is like.
Speaker 2: That's that man. I've heard about that man. He got
Speaker 2: a reputation for healing people. But in my state, I
Speaker 2: don't have to. I don't have the strength to try
Speaker 2: to fight through that crowd and square up. I can't
Speaker 2: even catch up to him. But that crowd move is
Speaker 2: so slow, I think I could get in the middle
Speaker 2: of that. And this woman starts making her way through
Speaker 2: this crowd of people, and here's the only thing on
Speaker 2: her mind. I've read the Old Testament. I read Malachi
Speaker 2: chapter number four. It's said that the son of Righteousness
Speaker 2: would have healing in his wings. Now, I don't think
Speaker 2: this boy is an angel or nothing like that. But
Speaker 2: I don't even have to touch him. If I just
Speaker 2: touched something that's touching him. She doesn't say. Maybe she said,
Speaker 2: I shall be. Can you imagine after twelve years and
Speaker 2: you've given all your money away to doctors to try
Speaker 2: to make you better, and you're still not well, and
Speaker 2: you still have hope. Hope is a wonderful thing. Can
Speaker 2: I just stop and talk about hope for a moment.
Speaker 2: What the enemy is trying to rob you? Of is
Speaker 2: hope at the end of it all. He wants to know.
Speaker 2: I want you to give up on God and everything
Speaker 2: after twelve years. This woman could have been cynical, She
Speaker 2: could have been a pessimist. She could have waved off Jesus.
Speaker 2: He just liked them other physicians. He ain't gonna do nothing.
Speaker 2: She said, no, all those other physicians ain't Jesus. If
Speaker 2: I make it to Jesus, I shall be healed. So
Speaker 2: she moved through the crowd and again she said, if
Speaker 2: I just touch the tassel, if I just get the fringe,
Speaker 2: I'll get a benefit. Ever heard fringe benefits. This gives
Speaker 2: a new little texture and nuance to the word fringe benefits.
Speaker 2: This is I can get a fringe benefit from him,
Speaker 2: because if I touch what's touching him, I will be
Speaker 2: made ho there's somebody in this room or watch it online.
Speaker 2: You've been in a season of your life that you
Speaker 2: don't even feel like you can approach Jesus. But if
Speaker 2: you can touch somebody that is touching him, you know
Speaker 2: that you will be healed. For some of y'all, your
Speaker 2: Grandmama's prayers is what's getting you through right now. For
Speaker 2: some of you, all, it's your parents' prayers that's getting
Speaker 2: you through right now. For many of you, all it's
Speaker 2: your friends prayers. You're like, I can't get to them,
Speaker 2: but if you touch them, I'll be touching him. I
Speaker 2: need to touch something that is touching him. I need
Speaker 2: to touch somebody that is touching him. That's why some of
Speaker 2: your friends call you in the middle of the night
Speaker 2: for prayer, because they know that you are actually touching him.
Speaker 2: They're coming to you trying to get to him, and
Speaker 2: through you, they're getting to him. That's why they come
Speaker 2: to you. Stop rolling your eyes and stop looking at
Speaker 2: the phone going oh God, there they go again. The
Speaker 2: only God they got in this season of their life
Speaker 2: is you. I don't know who that was for, and
Speaker 2: maybe that was for like ten or fifteen people, But
Speaker 2: the only reason why they're calling you it is because
Speaker 2: they know that you are touching him. So she touches,
Speaker 2: She gets through the crowd and she literally it's a tassel.
Speaker 2: But I'll just do this. She does that. She don't
Speaker 2: she don't grab him, she don't touch him. She touches
Speaker 2: what's touching him. She said, the hymn is as good
Speaker 2: as him. If you don't get it. Just ask somebody
Speaker 2: next to you. I'm not gonna explain that one the
Speaker 2: hymn is as good as him. And she touched him,
Speaker 2: And Scripture says, right away, not five minutes later, not
Speaker 2: an hour later, right away. That's the kind of God
Speaker 2: I serve. I serve a right away God. I can
Speaker 2: be in a situation twelve years and in one moment,
Speaker 2: right away, In one moment, what seemed like forever goes
Speaker 2: away because my Adai has the right of way to
Speaker 2: do whatever he needs to do right away. She stopped
Speaker 2: the moment. She did that immediately she could feel that
Speaker 2: she was here, She got what she wanted. She stopped
Speaker 2: the pursuit. You can go, Thank you, sir. We didn't
Speaker 2: even need to talk. Oh thank you, Holy Spirit. Let
Speaker 2: me slow down. Some of y'all's right away is before
Speaker 2: you even prayed. Some of y'all gonna get a right away,
Speaker 2: and you didn't even pray to prayer yet. Some of
Speaker 2: y'all gonna get a right away. And you didn't even
Speaker 2: know to say the thing yet. All you knew to
Speaker 2: touch what was touching him. And God has already given
Speaker 2: you a breakthrough before you even opened your mouth. They
Speaker 2: didn't even have a conversation. She did not get his attention.
Speaker 2: She was not Bartimaeus in the middle of the road
Speaker 2: saying master. She just said, if I touch him, I'm good.
Speaker 2: She touched him and she stopped. That woman was on
Speaker 2: that ground. M m hmmm. I've been to every physician,
Speaker 2: but that man right there, that's the great physician. All
Speaker 2: my money was spent up, but that man right there,
Speaker 2: he didn't need my money. He is money. He is
Speaker 2: my provision. He is my healer, he is my deliverer,
Speaker 2: He is my strong tower. He is my anchor. She
Speaker 2: got what she came for. She has her healing. It's done.
Speaker 2: She can leave, she wants to leave. She came from
Speaker 2: behind him and she touched to him if his garment.
Speaker 2: She got the freedom she needed, She got the healing
Speaker 2: that she needed, and she was content. She was content.
Speaker 2: He wasn't in the middle of all kinds of people
Speaker 2: around you. You would think you would think that would
Speaker 2: go unnoticed. Jesus only several feet stops. Scripture says, because
Speaker 2: he within himself knew that power going out of his body.
Speaker 2: Now you know, you have to be a sensitive man
Speaker 2: with a high level of attunement to not just notice
Speaker 2: that somebody tugged on your garment, but also notice that
Speaker 2: they took something from you. Power left him, get it,
Speaker 2: not when she touched him, When she touched something that
Speaker 2: was touching him. Power left him. So he stops, and
Speaker 2: he says, who touched my clothes? You got a gang
Speaker 2: of dudes around you, pressing up against you, walk in
Speaker 2: this direction, and you got the nerve to ask who
Speaker 2: touched my clothes. Notice he didn't say who touched me?
Speaker 2: You know the difference between this and you. He said,
Speaker 2: nobody touched me, But somebody touched my clothes, and power
Speaker 2: left me, and I'm not leaving. You know, Gyrus is
Speaker 2: in the corner light though I was first. I'm the
Speaker 2: one called you. Man. You're supposed to be going to
Speaker 2: my house while you stopping. What you mean, somebody touching you?
Speaker 2: Jesus won't move. Here's why Jesus won't move, because Jesus
Speaker 2: doesn't want this woman to think that she stole something
Speaker 2: from him. I know you've been bleeding for twelve years.
Speaker 2: I know all your money is going. I know you
Speaker 2: didn't want to bother me, so you press through the crowd. Surreptitiously.
Speaker 2: Good word, look it up. You came through the crowd surreptitiously.
Speaker 2: You tried to creep up on me. You didn't want
Speaker 2: to bother me because you didn't want to stop the procession.
Speaker 2: You don't want to draw attention to yourself because if
Speaker 2: we draw attention to you, you might have to explain
Speaker 2: what you've been through. So you tried to come and
Speaker 2: get what you wanted in private. I know why you
Speaker 2: sat at the back of the church. You wanted to
Speaker 2: get in, just enough to be in, but you want
Speaker 2: to slip out because you don't want nobody to know
Speaker 2: that you smell like weed, that you're just coming off
Speaker 2: your high, that you still drunk a little bit, that
Speaker 2: you had some sex last night. But God is saying,
Speaker 2: before you go, I know you just wanted to come
Speaker 2: in and get your healing and walk out the door.
Speaker 2: But before you hardy know you got your healing and
Speaker 2: you think you got everything that you need before you leave.
Speaker 2: But before you go, I don't want you to walk
Speaker 2: out of here today. Unseen, unheard, unknown, unloved. Who touched me?
Speaker 2: Everyone's looking around, everybody been touching you. Yeah, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: y'all have been pressing. You can't press God. Yep, He'll
Speaker 2: give you permission to touch him. But don't think you
Speaker 2: ever pressing God to do nothing. He cannot be pressed.
Speaker 2: He is the unmovable, He is the immuta, He is
Speaker 2: God in the flesh. He can't be pressed, but he
Speaker 2: can be touched. The press didn't stop him. The touch did.
Speaker 2: Who touched me? And everybody's looking around, drivers in the corner,
Speaker 2: and it gets uncomfortably quiet because God is very comfortable
Speaker 2: in silence. And the silence and the discomfort made her
Speaker 2: show up to be seen. Scripture says, the woman scared
Speaker 2: and shake it because when you're not used to being seen,
Speaker 2: and when you're trying to hide. This is the connection
Speaker 2: back to last week's message. Remember Adam and Eve hid
Speaker 2: because they were so ashamed, so they hid themselves. And
Speaker 2: a question is what brought them out now here? It
Speaker 2: is this woman is not hiding amongst the leaves. She
Speaker 2: is hiding amongst the crowd. And God would not allow
Speaker 2: her to remain anonymous in the crowd. Touched me, so
Speaker 2: here she comes, shaking, timid, scared, heal me healed, shaking, timid, scared, healed, shaking, timid, scared, healed, shaking, timid, scared, heal,
Speaker 2: You do know that you can be healed and still
Speaker 2: be shaking and timid and scared. You're healed, but you're
Speaker 2: not ready to give your testimony yet. You're healed, but
Speaker 2: you're not ready to show yourself yet. You're healed, but
Speaker 2: you're not ready to say I want to give my
Speaker 2: life to Jesus and declare him publicly. I know something
Speaker 2: that's shames on the inside. But I'm still shaking and
Speaker 2: I'm still scared because I'm not used to being seen.
Speaker 2: After twelve years, I've mastered the art of disappearing into
Speaker 2: the crowd. I know what it is to be in
Speaker 2: a place and not be in a place at the
Speaker 2: same time. I know what it feels like to show
Speaker 2: up and still be hidden. She comes shaking and scared,
Speaker 2: and she's like, oh you sure, ah, Hi, Hey, Hi, everybody,
Speaker 2: don't be mad. I'm so sorry. Oh ah ah. And
Speaker 2: here's what scripture says that just is so profound to me,
Speaker 2: because if you're ever going to have peace, you have
Speaker 2: to break the silence. You will never your body, your
Speaker 2: nervous system, will never be at peace as long as
Speaker 2: you got some stuff pent up on the inside that
Speaker 2: you have not articulated with your mouth. Whatever doesn't come
Speaker 2: up and out of your mouth through words will come
Speaker 2: up and out of your mouth through your body, so
Speaker 2: you have to speak. This woman was about to go
Speaker 2: home healed and unseen, and your shoe was stopp thinking
Speaker 2: entire procession, and said, before you go, and she fell
Speaker 2: down before him. Here's the scripture says, and she told
Speaker 2: him the whole truth. Child. I've been preaching thirty years
Speaker 2: and I've never seen that part the way I saw
Speaker 2: it studying for this message. It's always been there, lying
Speaker 2: in plain sight. And it never even dawned on me
Speaker 2: that she just didn't show up and said I've been
Speaker 2: bleeding for twelve years. Then thank out, No, no, no. Scripture says,
Speaker 2: when she showed up. She showed up, and she told
Speaker 2: him the whole truth, which means because the whole truth.
Speaker 2: It don't mean that she just said, I've been bled
Speaker 2: for twelve years and I spend all my money and
Speaker 2: that's it. No, no, no, she's healed. Now it was time
Speaker 2: to share how this experience has felt. She told the
Speaker 2: whole truth. I stopped believing in doctors, a bunch of liars.
Speaker 2: Been bleeding for twelve years. Everybody told me they had
Speaker 2: a diagnosis that was gonna fix it. All they did
Speaker 2: was take my money and left me worse off than
Speaker 2: what I was. I can't tell you how many friends
Speaker 2: I lost over the last twelve years because they didn't
Speaker 2: understand the situation that I was going through. I even
Speaker 2: tried to be vulnerable enough to share with a couple
Speaker 2: of people and they just start They just told me,
Speaker 2: you just need to pray more. A couple of these
Speaker 2: jokers told me that I must have some sin in
Speaker 2: my life or else God would have healed me already.
Speaker 2: They tried to act like it was my fault, and
Speaker 2: I let me tell you about some of y'all pharisees. Now,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it is Gyrus, but can you change
Speaker 2: the laws of something. I'm ceremonially unclean, which means I
Speaker 2: can't even go to the very place that I need
Speaker 2: to get my healing because they want me to stop
Speaker 2: something that I can't even stop on my own. Now,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's what she's said. I'm just saying
Speaker 2: this is what I would have said if I had
Speaker 2: a laceration on my nithigh and I've been baddished up
Speaker 2: for twelve years. She told him the whole truth. Thank
Speaker 2: you Holy Spirit. She told the truth, her truth. See
Speaker 2: we be telling people, or tell your truth, but you
Speaker 2: gotta remember that your truth has to reconcile with the
Speaker 2: truths No, no, no, you can have your truth. Just know
Speaker 2: that your truth one day is gonna have to stand
Speaker 2: before the truth, and the truth is going to be
Speaker 2: able to pronounce if your truth was his truth, Truth,
Speaker 2: speak your truth, says. Here's how I know that the
Speaker 2: truth she told was the truth the truth wanted to hear,
Speaker 2: because he said to her daughter, I want you to
Speaker 2: go scour the New Testament scriptures Matthew, Mark, Luke, and
Speaker 2: John and find me another place that He looks at
Speaker 2: a woman and calls her daughter. A single man, unmarried,
Speaker 2: looks at a grown woman and says, daughter, Now, remember
Speaker 2: this is the Word wrapped in flesh. And the beginning
Speaker 2: was the Word, and the word was with God, and
Speaker 2: the word was God, and the word became flesh. And
Speaker 2: what among is the only begotten son of the Father,
Speaker 2: full of grace. And so if he says it, it
Speaker 2: must be true. Jesus is God's word. So when he
Speaker 2: calls her daughter, he is not just making some endearing inference.
Speaker 2: He is letting her know, Oh, you're my sibling. Your
Speaker 2: truth is the truth. And you're not walking out of
Speaker 2: here some unnamed woman. You came in as a woman
Speaker 2: with no name. You're leaving here with a position. You
Speaker 2: are a daughter, hear me. Your faith has made you. Well.
Speaker 2: Here's the instruction, and I gotta go slow here she
Speaker 2: was already healed, but he declares, when she leaves, go
Speaker 2: in shaloon. I humbly submit this to all the theologians
Speaker 2: in the room. Don't be mad. It's just a submission.
Speaker 2: I believe this woman was gonna forfeit her peace if
Speaker 2: she would have taken if she would have taken her
Speaker 2: her healing and hiding, she would have been healed. But
Speaker 2: she wouldn't have been at peace because she would have
Speaker 2: left unseen, unknown and unheard. And you cannot be in
Speaker 2: the kingdom and go unseen, unheard and unknown. So he says,
Speaker 2: you are a daughter. Before you go, I want you
Speaker 2: to know you're a daughter. Now go in peace and
Speaker 2: be healed ed past tense from your disease. Here's what
Speaker 2: he was saying, I appreciate you coming out from the
Speaker 2: crowd and telling me the truth about the experience that
Speaker 2: you've had in a journey to this healing. Now that
Speaker 2: you have it, I want you to go in peace
Speaker 2: and be healed from your disease. Now you know that
Speaker 2: when God speaks a word, if Jesus God the Son
Speaker 2: speaks a word, it cannot come back void. When he
Speaker 2: told her, be healed from your disease, and it was
Speaker 2: past tense, what he's telling her was you will never
Speaker 2: have this situation again. I don't know who I'm preaching to,
Speaker 2: but there's somebody in this room. God's about to do
Speaker 2: such a work in your life. You are never going
Speaker 2: to struggle with that issue again. But it's contingent upon
Speaker 2: you telling the truth. I know a lot of people
Speaker 2: God's doing crazy breakthroughs and miracles in their lives, but
Speaker 2: they're still not at peace because they've never told the
Speaker 2: whole truth about their experience. Revelation Chapter number twelve says
Speaker 2: we overcome by the blood of the Lamb, And what
Speaker 2: the word of our testimony can I tell y'all something?
Speaker 2: Unedited testimonies don't help anybody. Edited testimony not unedited, edited
Speaker 2: testimonies don't help anybody. There's some people that have been
Speaker 2: blessed by God for years and and and the way
Speaker 2: their testimony goes, it's like this, first getting out of
Speaker 2: the God who is ahead of my life to pass
Speaker 2: the mic, and first Lady Natalie into the saints and friends.
Speaker 2: So grateful to be here in the house of the Lord.
Speaker 2: You know, God has brought me from a mighty long way.
Speaker 2: I used to be in some stuff child, but God
Speaker 2: did a work. He did a didn't he do a work?
Speaker 2: He did a work. Hey man, y'all just keep praying
Speaker 2: for me as I continue in the Lord. Who does
Speaker 2: that help? Who does that help? Imagine this woman getting
Speaker 2: healed and coming into church and and and then we
Speaker 2: say can you tell us a story? And it was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know what I went through? Ooh, I went through
Speaker 2: so much in my body. But then the Lord, you
Speaker 2: know how the Lord do He'd just be showing up
Speaker 2: and I touched to him off his garment and he
Speaker 2: just no, no, no, no, the whole truth, the whole truth.
Speaker 2: Both of my sons are here, Nathan and Noah are
Speaker 2: with me today. And people ask that they'll be like, oh,
Speaker 2: my goodness, how many children do you have? I said, well,
Speaker 2: we have too, But we were pregnant five times. We
Speaker 2: lost the first, then we had Nathan, then we lost
Speaker 2: two more. Then we had Noah. And it was painful
Speaker 2: to have to deal with the losses. And then after
Speaker 2: it happened once, and then it happened twice, and then
Speaker 2: it happened three times. I was starting to think, is
Speaker 2: it me? The enemy started to make me believe that
Speaker 2: there was something in me that God wanted to block
Speaker 2: from coming into the earth. See how your narrative can
Speaker 2: change if you're not staying close to him. See what
Speaker 2: happens when you don't have an anchor. But by me
Speaker 2: telling that story, guess what, it normalizes it for other
Speaker 2: people who are in this room that have gone through miscarriages,
Speaker 2: because the enemy will make you think like you're the
Speaker 2: only one that's been through something until you open your
Speaker 2: mouth and tell your story. Don't just start this crazy,
Speaker 2: vague testimony of what the Lord brought you out of.
Speaker 2: Tell the truth. I'm glad you're a church mother now,
Speaker 2: but if you as a hole, please tell the other
Speaker 2: holes in the room that God can change your life
Speaker 2: around and he can turn a hole into a housewife.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, before you were a killer, don't kill me,
Speaker 2: and don't kill nobody in the church. But if you've
Speaker 2: got a body, just go ahead and tell you're gonna
Speaker 2: relieve some stress, do your time, get on out. I
Speaker 2: know our message goes into prisons, and I know I
Speaker 2: might make all my fellow prison prisoners mad, the inmates
Speaker 2: that are mad. I have a brother that's locked up
Speaker 2: right now and incarcerated, so I understand, uh uh. And
Speaker 2: I know that there are some people that are locked
Speaker 2: up behind bars, uh that that are absolutely innocent. And
Speaker 2: because of the way that our our our criminal system is,
Speaker 2: some people just get caught up and they wind up
Speaker 2: doing time that it's not theirs. But for the rest
Speaker 2: of us, Yeah, can we just tell the truth? The
Speaker 2: prison system wouldn't be filled with innocent people. Some of
Speaker 2: y'all did it, and you would you you would come
Speaker 2: out with some peace if you just tell the truth
Speaker 2: that I did do the thing that I was charged for,
Speaker 2: and I have to do the time, and the consequences
Speaker 2: are harsh, but I'm freer because I ain't got no
Speaker 2: more secret. She told the whole I was sexually abused
Speaker 2: at the age of eight years old by an older
Speaker 2: teenage boy that lives across the street from me. For
Speaker 2: a six month period of time, I wet the bed
Speaker 2: until I was sixteen years old. The trauma that happened
Speaker 2: in my body because of that sexual abuse, my body
Speaker 2: betrayed me. I didn't have an issue of blood, but
Speaker 2: I couldn't stop whiting to bed, and my parents did
Speaker 2: everything parents do at that age. Don't drink no liquids
Speaker 2: after six You can't have a soda after three point
Speaker 2: thirty four PM. I don't know where they came up.
Speaker 2: They just freest out these rules. Go in to bed
Speaker 2: with a dry mouth. I can't have no liquids after
Speaker 2: six dinners at seven thirty. Make it makes sense. I
Speaker 2: couldn't stop witing to bed. I could never spend a
Speaker 2: night over my friend's house. I was too deathly afraid
Speaker 2: of waking up in a wet spot. I just learned
Speaker 2: how to hide better. Woke up in the middle of
Speaker 2: the night, flipped the mattress over, sprinkle some baby powder
Speaker 2: on it, put a clean towel on it, change my pajamas.
Speaker 2: Wake up in the morning, like I did not pee.
Speaker 2: I washed up at four point thirty in the morning
Speaker 2: while everybody was still sleep. Just might as well tell
Speaker 2: you all the truth. Got exposed to pornography when I
Speaker 2: was twelve years old, pour in to masturbation. That was
Speaker 2: how I numbed the pain. My mom caught me when
Speaker 2: I was nineteen, and it was an embarrassing night. But
Speaker 2: then I told the truth, and that night a peace
Speaker 2: came into my heart. Hear me, I had not given
Speaker 2: my life to Jesus yet, but the truth brought my
Speaker 2: body peace. And I just believe that there's somebody in here. Listen.
Speaker 2: I am not about to put a mic in front
Speaker 2: of your face and tell you to confess everything that
Speaker 2: you've ever gone through. But I'm telling you before you go,
Speaker 2: he doesn't want you to walk out of here anonymous.
Speaker 2: He wants you to walk out a daughter. He wants
Speaker 2: you to walk out of sun. He wants you to
Speaker 2: walk out free. He wants you healed. Yes, but he
Speaker 2: wants you to have peace because he's the prince of
Speaker 2: it and why would he have you lacking something he is,
Speaker 2: So before you go, I just want to give someone
Speaker 2: an opportunity to come out from the crowd, someone that's
Speaker 2: been hiding someone that has gotten used to slipping in
Speaker 2: and slipping out. It's gotten used to blending in with
Speaker 2: the shadows, getting just what you need, and then leaving.
Speaker 2: And God's saying, no, today's to day. Who touched me?
Speaker 2: You're in this place, you're in this at You've literally
Speaker 2: connected with the heart of God. And He's saying, who
Speaker 2: touched me? I want to know who you are so
Speaker 2: you can know who's you are, so if there's somebody
Speaker 2: in this room that has been hiding amongst the crowd.
Speaker 2: I just want you to get up and just come
Speaker 2: right here. I just want to see who you are.
Speaker 2: Who touched me? Who touched me? Who touched me? Who
Speaker 2: touched me? I want to identify the daughters. I want
Speaker 2: to identify the sons who touched me. Did you think
Speaker 2: you were going to come in and out of here
Speaker 2: and not be seen by me? Who touched me? I
Speaker 2: don't want you to walk out of here unknown. I
Speaker 2: don't want you to walk out of here unheard who
Speaker 2: touched me? Come out, Come out from wherever you are.
Speaker 2: Your days of hiding out amongst the crowd are over.
Speaker 2: You are a daughter, you are a son, You are
Speaker 2: his and he is yours who touched me? I see
Speaker 2: you coming, Come on, come on, come on, wherever you are? Who?
Speaker 2: Who whoo who? Who? Who? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm so proud of you. I am so proud
Speaker 3: of you. You have no idea, and I want to
Speaker 3: tell you right now, tears are so good.
Speaker 2: Tears. Tears are gods. God could have put tears anyway
Speaker 2: as many sweat glands as we have on our body.
Speaker 2: Tears could have been coming out the bottom of our feet.
Speaker 2: He put them right in our eyes on purpose, so
Speaker 2: that other people would know how to get close to you.
Speaker 2: Isn't it crazy that the one of the first things
Speaker 2: society tries to do is keep you from crying. Suck
Speaker 2: it up, stop being a cry baby. Don't nobody want
Speaker 2: to see all that? Don't nobody want to hear all that?
Speaker 2: When the very thing we came out the wound with
Speaker 2: was our tears in our voice. It's the first two
Speaker 2: things that enemy tries to take from us is our
Speaker 2: ability to speak, to make sound, and our ability to
Speaker 2: show emotion. You're not strong for not crying, You're wrong
Speaker 2: for not crying. You were created to cry, okay to
Speaker 2: somebody else, and he loves you so much. He's like
Speaker 2: you went like to the edge of your seat and
Speaker 2: was like you did like a pump fake juke. Hes,
Speaker 2: he where are you at? Yeah? Come through? Come through? Yeah, man,
Speaker 2: come through. Oh a bunch of y'all did it? Hes Yeah,
Speaker 2: come through, come through, Come through, Come through, Come through.
Speaker 2: This is real business up here. We do real work
Speaker 2: up here. It's real. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Yeah, come through, y'all,
Speaker 2: come in just a little bit. We all got on deodorant.
Speaker 2: You know they make a ninety six hour de order it. Now,
Speaker 2: what type of work is that person doing? It makes
Speaker 2: no sense. Who needs that much protection? Stay in the house,
Speaker 2: work from home. Well, a bunch of always doing that
Speaker 2: heavy step Praise God, Thank you Holy Spirit. Yeah. He
Speaker 2: wants you to be seen. He wants you to be seen.
Speaker 2: I know that's not comfortable at all, But he loves
Speaker 2: you that much that he would not let you out
Speaker 2: of here without being seen, without being recognized, without being noticed.
Speaker 2: He loves you. You're his daughter. You're his daughter. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's good, Okay, I'm so happy. We're gonna pray. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna pray for y'all. Is that all right? You girl?
Speaker 2: After all you've been through. What he does next is
Speaker 2: right away. There's a whole right away for you. And
Speaker 2: the enemy has written this very ugly narrative about you
Speaker 2: that sometimes you started to repeat, and it's alive from
Speaker 2: the lake of fire, what you have been through, what
Speaker 2: you're currently in. It's not the rest of your life.
Speaker 2: It is not the rest of your life. Give that
Speaker 2: story back to who owns it. It's not you, it's him.
Speaker 2: I don't know who him is. You know who him is.
Speaker 2: Father God, I thank you for my brothers and sisters.
Speaker 2: Thank you for my brothers and sisters, for your sons
Speaker 2: and daughters. I thank you for this message of peace.
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. I pray right now in Jesus' name, that
Speaker 2: we would come out and we would stay out, that
Speaker 2: we would tell the whole truth about the experience that
Speaker 2: we've been having. Thank you for the healing that is
Speaker 2: happening in the hearts of your sons and daughters. Thank
Speaker 2: you for the issues that you are stopping from leaking.
Speaker 2: Thank you for the issues that you have stopped from flowing.
Speaker 2: And Holy Spirit, I pray now for a right away
Speaker 2: miracle and blessing that transforms their lives from the inside out.
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit, Thank you for the grace that you have
Speaker 2: given us to walk in the peace of God that
Speaker 2: passes all understanding, that guards our hearts and our minds.
Speaker 2: Through Christ Jesus, May we never hide out in the
Speaker 2: crowd again. Before we go, remind us that we are
Speaker 2: your sons, your daughters, that we're healed, and that we
Speaker 2: go in peace. Shaloam over our lives, Shaloam over our minds,
Speaker 2: Shaloam over our bodies, Shalom over our children, Shalom over
Speaker 2: our marriages, Shaloam over everything that pertains to us. Thank you,
Speaker 2: Yeshuah for being the Prince of peace. In the matchless
Speaker 2: name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Come on, can we
Speaker 2: clap our hands for Jesus run good time? Come on,
Speaker 2: you can do better than that. If you're happy about
Speaker 2: the peace that we have in your shoe of Messiah,
Speaker 2: we are going to another level of peace. Faith to faith,
Speaker 2: and glory to glory through our words. Listen, we are
Speaker 2: going to I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Speaker 2: right now. Amberly come up here. Pastor mic passes his church,
Speaker 2: so he be knowing what he doing. I'm just here
Speaker 2: for six weeks, so I don't know. I'll just be
Speaker 2: making it up every did.
Speaker 6: I just want to take this moment while we're just
Speaker 6: in this holy moment. We've prayed it specifically over you, guys,
Speaker 6: and before you go, I do believe that peace has
Speaker 6: been given to you, and you're walking out of here
Speaker 6: different I see you.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 6: But for many of you in the room, some of you,
Speaker 6: it's not even peace that you're looking for. It's a
Speaker 6: real relationship with the Jesus that we're talking about.
Speaker 2: And so we would be remiss if we didn't.
Speaker 6: Give you the opportunity to make this Jesus that Pastor
Speaker 6: Tim has just so beautifully preached about, the Lord and
Speaker 6: the savior of your life. And when I think about
Speaker 6: that Lord, many of you have rented something before. You've
Speaker 6: lived in an apartment, you've lived in a house, You've
Speaker 6: rented something. And when you have a landlord, you don't
Speaker 6: get to just knock down walls, you don't get to
Speaker 6: just paint things. You don't get to just do things
Speaker 6: because you don't like the way that they designed it.
Speaker 6: But you run everything by the landlord. You ask for
Speaker 6: permission before you move, before you build, before you construct,
Speaker 6: and that's what happens when we make Jesus the lord
Speaker 6: of our lives. We ask him, we seek him, We
Speaker 6: ask him, can I do this? Should I take this job?
Speaker 6: Should I marry this spouse? Should I go to this school?
Speaker 6: Should I engage in these activities? And when he says no,
Speaker 6: don't get in that relationship, No, don't go to that school, No,
Speaker 6: don't take that job, we submit to him because he's the.
Speaker 2: Lord of our life.
Speaker 6: And so this morning, Pastor Tim and I we want
Speaker 6: to ask you, is there anyone in the room today
Speaker 6: that would be bold and brave enough to say, I've
Speaker 6: not done that yet. I've not made Jesus the lord
Speaker 6: of my life. I've not submitted my decisions and my
Speaker 6: desires to him. And if that's you, I'm going to
Speaker 6: ask you, on account of three to be the boldest
Speaker 6: and the most brave that you've ever been, and to
Speaker 6: raise your hand. One, two, three. I see you, I
Speaker 6: see you, I see you up there, I see you
Speaker 6: back there. Making Jesus the lord of your life is
Speaker 6: the best decision that you will ever make. That's how
Speaker 6: you walk in the peace that we've talked about today,
Speaker 6: That's how you experience the Bible talks about a peace
Speaker 6: that passes all of our understanding, meaning our normal natural
Speaker 6: brains can't conceive what that kind of peace could look like.
Speaker 6: So this morning, you got a whole church full of people,
Speaker 6: and if there's people up here at the front, we're
Speaker 6: gonna pray with you. We're gonna pray a prayer, and
Speaker 6: we're gonna ask Jesus to come into our hearts to
Speaker 6: make us new, to make us fresh, to wash away
Speaker 6: the old, and to make us brand new people. And
Speaker 6: we're gonna repeat that prayer with you, because you're not alone.
Speaker 2: We see you, We see you, So will.
Speaker 6: You pray with me? Dear God, I admit I've made mistakes.
Speaker 6: I admit I need a savior. I admit I need
Speaker 6: a Lord. I asked that you would come into my heart,
Speaker 6: that you would change my motives. I believe you lived,
Speaker 6: I believe you died, and I believe you rose again
Speaker 6: just for me. Change me, renew me, and transform me.
Speaker 6: In Jesus's name, I pray.
Speaker 2: A men.
Speaker 6: Now listen, if you made that decision today, how are
Speaker 6: we going to celebrate.
Speaker 2: As a church.
Speaker 6: We are so proud of you, But even more than that,
Speaker 6: God is proud of you. If you've made that decision today,
Speaker 6: will you do exactly what Pastor Tim said, Will you
Speaker 6: tell somebody? Will you go and tell somebody the whole truth.
Speaker 6: Don't leave this building today without telling somebody the whole truth.
Speaker 6: If you have made this decision, if you will text
Speaker 6: the word saved to A two A two A two,
Speaker 6: we'll be able to get you some more resources into
Speaker 6: your hand. We don't want you to walk this alone.
Speaker 6: You're not meant to do life alone. There's a tribe
Speaker 6: for you. There are people that can surround you and
Speaker 6: walk out the this walk.
Speaker 2: Of faith with you.
Speaker 6: And for those of you that are at the altar,
Speaker 6: or maybe those of you that are still saying I
Speaker 6: didn't come down and I wish I would have, We're
Speaker 6: gonna leave the altar open and we've got people that
Speaker 6: are gonna be here to pray over you and for you.
Speaker 2: So I want to encourage you.
Speaker 6: Don't leave this place before you go. As Pastor Tim said,
Speaker 6: get the peace that you need before you go, get
Speaker 6: the healing that you need, leave need, don't leave here
Speaker 6: the way that you came in.
Speaker 2: We love you so much.
Speaker 6: Until next week, go out and live a transformed life.

Speaker 1: prayer and accept it Jesus into your heart, it's the
