Speaker 1: Welcome Just hand Away Tagalog Sermon Podcast, your daily dose
Speaker 1: of inspiring from heartfelt tagalog sermons from different pastors and
Speaker 1: speakers all over the Philippines. We hope that this podcast
Speaker 1: finds you in good shape. And now here's your message.
Speaker 2: I want to look at diligently, hearken to the voice. Diligently,
Speaker 2: hearken to the voice. And I trust you know what
Speaker 2: voice that is. Hallelujah. Diligently hearken to the voice. While
Speaker 2: you're turning there, I want to encourage you if you
Speaker 2: have had an interest in the Foundational Discipleship class. We
Speaker 2: began at last Sunday, and week two is this Sunday,
Speaker 2: and you could still get in. This would be the
Speaker 2: last week. But if you call the office or even
Speaker 2: come this Sunday, preferably call, we can get you in.
Speaker 2: There's ten weeks that will revolutionize your life. Sunday morning,
Speaker 2: we're going to be looking at the Shepherd's anointing, and
Speaker 2: I think you're going to be blessed by finding out
Speaker 2: some of these things about the Shepherd's anointing. Luke chapter six,
Speaker 2: verse seventeen. And he Jesus came down with them and
Speaker 2: stood in the plane, and the company of his disciples,
Speaker 2: and a great multitude of people out of all Judea
Speaker 2: in Jerusalem and all the sea coast of Tire and Sidon,
Speaker 2: who came to hear him and be healed of their diseases.
Speaker 2: They came to hear and be healed. Again, I encourage
Speaker 2: you to circle or underline those phrases here and be healed.
Speaker 2: They came to hear and be healed. A lot of
Speaker 2: times people just want to be healed. They don't want
Speaker 2: to hear. Can I just skip the hearing and go
Speaker 2: to the healings? But healing is a vital part of hearing.
Speaker 2: Or excuse me, well, you could kind of said it backwards.
Speaker 2: Hearing is a vital part of healing. Healing of all
Speaker 2: kinds starts with hearing. Because faith comes by hearing the
Speaker 2: word of God. We have to hear that Jesus heals here,
Speaker 2: that he has compassion here, that it's his will. Why
Speaker 2: would we need to be healed to hear, Because again
Speaker 2: Romans ten seventeen, faith comes by hearing. So on one
Speaker 2: O seven twenty he sent his word and healed us,
Speaker 2: delivered us from all destruction. So they came to hear
Speaker 2: him and be healed of their diseases. We're going to
Speaker 2: develop this thought tonight. And they that were vexed with
Speaker 2: unclean spirits, and they were healed, And the whole multitude
Speaker 2: sought to touch him, for there went virtue or power
Speaker 2: out of him, and healed them all. Healed them all,
Speaker 2: the multitudes. Now, when we read of the Feeding of
Speaker 2: the five thousand, it says that there was a multitude gathered,
Speaker 2: and Jesus taught them, and then he realized they were hungry,
Speaker 2: and he multiplied the loaves and fishes and fed five
Speaker 2: thousand men, including and women, and an additional women and children.
Speaker 2: Five thousand men plus women and children. So that could
Speaker 2: have been a crowd of ten to fifteen thousand people,
Speaker 2: and that was termed a multitude. Verse seventeen says this
Speaker 2: was a great multitude. If a multitude is ten to
Speaker 2: fifteen thousand, how many would a great multitude be? It
Speaker 2: could have been fifty thousand or more. And they sought
Speaker 2: to touch him, and they went power out of him
Speaker 2: and healed them all. But notice a vital part of this.
Speaker 2: They came to hear him. They came to hear him.
Speaker 2: Hearing is a vital part of healing. Look at verse six,
Speaker 2: same chapter, Luke sixty six. And it came to pass,
Speaker 2: also on another Sabbath, that he Jesus entered into the
Speaker 2: synagogue and taught, He taught, he went, did he teach,
Speaker 2: He taught the word, taught the will of God. And
Speaker 2: there was a man whose right hand was paralyzed. And
Speaker 2: the scribes and pharisees watched him whether he would on
Speaker 2: the Sabbath day, not whether he could heal, but whether
Speaker 2: he would heal. They knew he could, They just weren't
Speaker 2: sure if he would on their sacred Sabbath, that they
Speaker 2: might find an accusation against him. But he knew their
Speaker 2: thoughts and said to the man that had the paralyzed hand,
Speaker 2: rise up, stand forth. In the midst in verse ten,
Speaker 2: it says he told him, stretch forth thy hand. Now again,
Speaker 2: we tend to look at this healing, this miracle, as disjointed,
Speaker 2: an isolated case, and had nothing to do with hearing.
Speaker 2: We just think, well, Jesus just selected the man and said, well,
Speaker 2: you know, stretch forth your hand be healed. We often overlooked.
Speaker 2: At in verse six, it says he was in the
Speaker 2: synagogue teaching so all indication is this man with a
Speaker 2: withered hand heard him, and faith came by hearing. And
Speaker 2: it's quite likely that Jesus, as we'll see in the
Speaker 2: book of Acts here in a minute, perceived that he
Speaker 2: had faith to be healed, and said, stretch forth your hand.
Speaker 2: Faith comes by hearing the word of God. We know
Speaker 2: Jesus went about sharing out of Isaiah. The spirit of
Speaker 2: the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me
Speaker 2: to preach the good news of the poor. He has
Speaker 2: sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance
Speaker 2: to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, to
Speaker 2: set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the
Speaker 2: year of the Jubilee, the year where everybody goes free.
Speaker 2: We know he preached that message and others, so it'd
Speaker 2: be easy to sit there and hear him preaching that,
Speaker 2: and faith come. He said to him, stretch forth your hand. Well,
Speaker 2: let's look at that. Your place there in luke, because
Speaker 2: we're going to come back. But go to Acts chapter fourteen.
Speaker 2: Hold your finger there in luke, or put a piece
Speaker 2: of paper or something in there, Acts chapter fourteen. Or
Speaker 2: ask your neighbor to stick their finger in there for
Speaker 2: you or something. Acts fourteen, verse seven. This is speaking
Speaker 2: of Lystra and Iconium, and it says in there they
Speaker 2: verse seven, and there they preached the gospel, Paul and
Speaker 2: his company, and there sat a man in Listra, impotent
Speaker 2: in his feet, being a cripple from So this guy's
Speaker 2: a man. Now we don't know for sure how old
Speaker 2: he was, but he's been crippled from birth, so he's
Speaker 2: probably thirty forty fifty years, maybe more. It could have
Speaker 2: been seventy years. This way, who never had walked? What
Speaker 2: a condition, never had walked, and they didn't have all
Speaker 2: the modern helps back then that they have now. He
Speaker 2: never had walked. Now, notice verse nine, the same heard
Speaker 2: marked that word, heard, the same heard Paul speak, who
Speaker 2: he heard him preach, because it says the verse seventy
Speaker 2: preached the gospel, preach the good news, the gospel of healing. Obviously,
Speaker 2: because the same heard Paul speak, who steadfastly beholding him
Speaker 2: and perceiving? Paul perceived that he, the man had been
Speaker 2: crippled from birth, had faith to be healed. Where would
Speaker 2: the man that's been crippled from birth get faith to
Speaker 2: be healed? He heard Paul speak and faith. Roman's ten
Speaker 2: seventeen comes by hearing the word of God. He heard
Speaker 2: Paul speak, and he had faith to be healed. And
Speaker 2: Paul said, with a loud voice, stand upright on your feet.
Speaker 2: Paul wasn't shy about performing miracles and healings. I want
Speaker 2: everybody to know what's going on. And he the man
Speaker 2: crippled from birth, leaped and walked. WHOA, what a sight
Speaker 2: that would have been. Hallylujah. I think this guy maybe
Speaker 2: got a little pentecostal he leap and walk. I don't
Speaker 2: think he jumped up and say, oh that's nice, thank
Speaker 2: you Lord. You know he probably got WHOA you would
Speaker 2: I would if you hadn't walked your whole life. He
Speaker 2: leaped and walked. Now, notice Paul did three things. The
Speaker 2: man did three things, and God did something. Paul preached
Speaker 2: in verse seven, perceived in verse nine, and said in
Speaker 2: verse ten. Paul preached the word he perceived, and he
Speaker 2: spoke the faith command broke out what he had perceived.
Speaker 2: The man heard the gospel verse nine, had faith verse nine,
Speaker 2: and responded to the faith command and leaped and walked
Speaker 2: when Paul said to him, stand upright on thy feet.
Speaker 2: Even though the power God obviously came on him and
Speaker 2: came into him. That man could have said, Paul, you
Speaker 2: don't know what you're saying. I've never walked. I can't walk,
Speaker 2: I can't stand up. You have to help me. Somebody's
Speaker 2: got to help me. He could have done that, Paul,
Speaker 2: what are you talking about. Don't you know I've been
Speaker 2: crippled from my mother's womb. I can't get up. No,
Speaker 2: he responded to the faith command, and he leaped and walked.
Speaker 2: He did. Paul did three things. The man did three things,
Speaker 2: and God did something made him whole. Hallelujah, Glory, glory, glory.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Let's go back to Luke.
Speaker 2: Still got your finger there right, or your neighbor's finger
Speaker 2: or something Luke chapter eight. We're there in Luke six.
Speaker 2: Go to Luke eight, verse forty eight. Luke eight forty eight.
Speaker 2: Notice this is I'm cutting in here, but this is
Speaker 2: the case of the woman with the issue of blood.
Speaker 2: And she crawled up and touched the hem of his
Speaker 2: garment and was healed. Remember this woman had been very sick.
Speaker 2: She spent everything she had on many physicians and was
Speaker 2: nothing better, but rather grew worse, she touches the hem
Speaker 2: of his garment. Power goes into her and knows what
Speaker 2: Jesus says eight forty eight, daughter, be of good comfort.
Speaker 2: Your faith has made you whole. He didn't say my power,
Speaker 2: my virtue has made you hold my divinity, or anything
Speaker 2: like that. He said, your faith has made you whole,
Speaker 2: and your faith will make you whole. Go in peace,
Speaker 2: go into shalloon, Go into wholeness, go into completeness. Jesus
Speaker 2: spoke Aramaic and Hebrew, so he would have said go
Speaker 2: in the little Greek it reads, go into peace, or
Speaker 2: go into shalloon. Your faith has made you whole. Go
Speaker 2: on into wholeness, completeness, wellness, nothing broken, nothing missing, It's available.
Speaker 2: It's part of the Covenant. Verse forty nine. While he
Speaker 2: yet spoke, there comes one from the rule of the
Speaker 2: synagogue's house saying to him, your daughter's dead. Trouble not
Speaker 2: the master. Well that's a bad report, if there ever
Speaker 2: was one. That's a word of finality, or so it
Speaker 2: would seem. Your daughter's dead. They ain't come and say
Speaker 2: it's not looking too good. They said she's dead. Leave
Speaker 2: him alone, don't trouble the master. And I think it's
Speaker 2: we modern religion or modern The response by most people
Speaker 2: today would be, oh, well, I guess it wasn't the
Speaker 2: lord's will. She's dead. Wasn't the lord's will. Maybe God
Speaker 2: had some sovereign reason. Well, that's too bad. But notice
Speaker 2: Jesus' response. But when Jesus heard it, he answered him
Speaker 2: and said, fear not, believe only she'll be made whole.
Speaker 2: Fear not. I mean, that's the very thing that's going
Speaker 2: to come on somebody, right there is fear dread says
Speaker 2: fear not. But he says, you gotta do that's the
Speaker 2: stop the fear. But you gotta do something in the positive.
Speaker 2: He said, believe, fear not believe only. It's not enough
Speaker 2: to say, okay, I won't fear, I won't fear got that.
Speaker 2: Do something on the positive. Believe only only believe, only
Speaker 2: believe all things are possible. Only believe fear not, only
Speaker 2: believe she'll be made well. Faith is vital in healing.
Speaker 2: Remember the two blind men Matthew nine, twenty eight twenty nine.
Speaker 2: Jesus said, believe you that I am able to do this,
Speaker 2: And then they say yay, Lord, And he said, according
Speaker 2: to your faith, be it under you not according to
Speaker 2: my power. That's how religion tends to read it. But
Speaker 2: it says according to your faith. Remember, in his own hometown,
Speaker 2: Nasa said he could do their no mighty work because
Speaker 2: of their unbelief. He could do no mighty work he
Speaker 2: wanted to, but he could do no mighty work because
Speaker 2: of their unbelief. Now again, if he did the miracles
Speaker 2: and signs and wonders to as God and to prove
Speaker 2: his divinity, he would have done it there to say
Speaker 2: I'll show you people. I mean, you ever want to
Speaker 2: make a good impression. It's in your hometown. But he
Speaker 2: could do there no mighty works. He said, I do
Speaker 2: nothing of myself. It's the Father in me who does
Speaker 2: the works. He said, the works that I do, you
Speaker 2: will do also down fourteen twelve. We'll do them also
Speaker 2: down fourteen twelve to fourteen hallelujah, Because it's the Father
Speaker 2: in us who does the works. Look at Luke nine.
Speaker 2: Just go down a little bit further Luke nine, Verse one.
Speaker 2: Then Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them
Speaker 2: power and authority Dunamus and Exusia. I gave them both
Speaker 2: over all demons and to cure diseases, demons and diseases.
Speaker 2: They couldn't stand the power of God. Demons plural and
Speaker 2: diseases plural. Withluiah, fear not only believe now. Notice he
Speaker 2: gave empower and authority of all demons and the cure diseases.
Speaker 2: And he sent them to preach and to heal. He
Speaker 2: sent them to preach the Kingdom of God, the rule
Speaker 2: of God. He sent them to preach the Kingdom of
Speaker 2: God and to heal the sick. They heard and were
Speaker 2: healed again. People think Jesus just kind of blew into
Speaker 2: town and just start healing people indiscriminately. But time and
Speaker 2: again he preached and they heard. Faith came by hearing,
Speaker 2: and they were healed. That's why it's so important to
Speaker 2: hear in order to be healed. Now we're talking specifically
Speaker 2: about healing, but this doesn't apply only the healing. I mean,
Speaker 2: if we want to be victorious, if we want to
Speaker 2: be an overcomer, we need to hear. If we want
Speaker 2: to be holy, we need to hear. If we want
Speaker 2: to be free, if we want to be protected, prospered,
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be, it's we need to hear
Speaker 2: the gospel. Faith comes by hearing. God watches over his
Speaker 2: word to perform at Jeremiah one twelve. His word is
Speaker 2: alive and powerful, sharper than any two edged sword Hebrews
Speaker 2: four to twelve. Man shall not live by bread alone,
Speaker 2: but by every word that comes out of the mouth
Speaker 2: of God. We need to hear and be healed. He
Speaker 2: sent them to preach the Kingdom of God and to
Speaker 2: heal the sick. He didn't say, just go start healing people.
Speaker 2: He said, preach the gospel, preach the Kingdom, and then
Speaker 2: follow that up with healing. Look at verse six. And
Speaker 2: they departed and went through the towns, preaching the Gospel
Speaker 2: and healing everywhere, preaching and healing, preaching and healing, preaching
Speaker 2: and healing. Hear and be healed. Now again, a lot
Speaker 2: of folk they just wanted to be healed, but not
Speaker 2: take the time to hear. I see it all the time.
Speaker 2: Everybody wants an instantaneous miracle, and they do happen. But
Speaker 2: it's more normal to build your faith on the word
Speaker 2: of God and hear and be healed. Here and be healed.
Speaker 2: But you know, many times it's at least as much,
Speaker 2: if not more important to hear than it is to
Speaker 2: be healed, or maybe I should say it this way.
Speaker 2: We need to be at least as much, if not more,
Speaker 2: interested in the healing as we are the healing. Again,
Speaker 2: like I alluded to last week, if you announce a
Speaker 2: meeting where there's going to be teaching on healing and
Speaker 2: how to be healed, how to receive healing, people are
Speaker 2: just kind of about it. Announce a meeting where there's
Speaker 2: going to be signs and wonders and miracles, they give
Speaker 2: five times as many people. People don't see the connection
Speaker 2: between hearing and healing, between hearing and faith and receiving
Speaker 2: the promises of God. Everybody just wants drive through breakthroughs.
Speaker 2: They want to skip any of the effort on their
Speaker 2: part and just lay hands on me so I can
Speaker 2: go back and watch television, you know, just do it
Speaker 2: for me. I don't have to get into the word.
Speaker 2: I don't one to have to study healing scriptures, I don't
Speaker 2: have to meditate them. Just can't you do your thing,
Speaker 2: you know, anoime with oil and lay hands on me
Speaker 2: and say shandlelah baba, and can't you just take care
Speaker 2: of it that way? Well, we have our part to
Speaker 2: play now. Notice they said they preached and were healed.
Speaker 2: It's important not only what we hear, which is what
Speaker 2: Jesus said in Mark four twenty four, right after in
Speaker 2: Mark's account where he gave the parable of the so
Speaker 2: or sows the seed. And if you look at that,
Speaker 2: we taught on that some time ago on a Wednesday night,
Speaker 2: all four of the types of soil, which are types
Speaker 2: of people's lives, heart conditions, the hard ground, the thorny ground,
Speaker 2: the stony ground, and the good ground. The first three
Speaker 2: did not bring forth any fruit. Only the fourth, the
Speaker 2: good ground, brought forth fruit. And of the good ground
Speaker 2: the fourth ones only a third of them apparently brought
Speaker 2: forth full fruit one hundredfold fruit because said, and some
Speaker 2: brought in the good ground brought forth through thirty sixty
Speaker 2: and one hundredfold. But my point is that all if
Speaker 2: you look at that, we're not going to take time
Speaker 2: to night. But if you look at it, all four
Speaker 2: types of the soil of the heart, all of them
Speaker 2: heard the word. It said, the sower sows the word.
Speaker 2: And these are they which are on hard ground hear
Speaker 2: the word, and then the devil comes immediately he takes
Speaker 2: the seed that sown. Then it says, these are those
Speaker 2: sown on thorny ground who hear the word, and then
Speaker 2: it gets choked. And then these are those on heart
Speaker 2: or on stony ground. They hear the word, but they
Speaker 2: have no depth. Persecution, af fliction arises for the word's sake.
Speaker 2: They quit, they give up. They all heard the word.
Speaker 2: But he said, these on those on good ground heard
Speaker 2: the word, same phrase, nothing different. I looked that into Greek.
Speaker 2: It's the same Greek word. I say, well, maybe this
Speaker 2: word hearing for the good ground a different word for hearing.
Speaker 2: It's not. And he says the good ground heard the word,
Speaker 2: but they brought forth fruit thirty sixty and one hundredfold.
Speaker 2: And then just a few verses after that, Jesus says,
Speaker 2: take heed what you hear, Take heed what you hear.
Speaker 2: And then over in Luke, when Luke tells about the
Speaker 2: sol or sowing the word, he says, take heed how
Speaker 2: you hear Luke eight eighteen. So it's not only important
Speaker 2: what you hear. Most of us realize that, hopefully we do.
Speaker 2: You can't feed on a bunch of worldly, cardinal secular
Speaker 2: stuff and fly like an eagle doesn't work. I mean,
Speaker 2: people want to do it, but I've never seen anybody
Speaker 2: do it successfully. Yet those that fly like eagles are
Speaker 2: those that seek after God and hunger after the word,
Speaker 2: read it and meditate it, and study it, and press
Speaker 2: into God and worship and pray. So he tells us
Speaker 2: it's not only important what we hear. Like I started
Speaker 2: to say, most of the things, realize it's important what
Speaker 2: we hear. But then he says, take heed, how you hear?
Speaker 2: What you hear? If you're hearing truth, hearing the word
Speaker 2: of God, there's obviously a certain way to hear it
Speaker 2: that produces fruit thirty sixty and one hundred fold, Because
Speaker 2: all four of them heard it same word, but only one.
Speaker 2: I'm brought forth fruit. Take heed how you hear? And
Speaker 2: and we covered this and the teaching on how to
Speaker 2: bring forth thirty sixty and one hundredfold. When I did
Speaker 2: a message on that, and I knew it was there,
Speaker 2: but I'd never taken a time to put it together.
Speaker 2: So I went to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. All
Speaker 2: of them tell the parable of the sewer. All of
Speaker 2: them say the good ground brought forth thirty six hundred fold,
Speaker 2: and every one of them gives it just a little
Speaker 2: bit of a nuance of meaning to the word hearing
Speaker 2: that they did that. The other three types of soil
Speaker 2: did not do. The good soil heard a certain way
Speaker 2: that none of the others did. And Matthew gives us
Speaker 2: a hint to it. Luke gives us a hint to it.
Speaker 2: Mark gives us into it. John gives a hint to it.
Speaker 2: They all add a certain meaning, and when you put
Speaker 2: it together, it lets us know that. Here's how we
Speaker 2: bring forth thirty sixty one hundredfold harvest on the word.
Speaker 2: We hear the word, yes, but we have to hear
Speaker 2: it and receive it. That's what Mark brings out. Says,
Speaker 2: they heard the word and received it and brought forth
Speaker 2: through thirty six and one hundredfold. Now, the word receive
Speaker 2: in the Greek means too. You know, most people say, well,
Speaker 2: I receive it. Any time I hear the word, I
Speaker 2: receive it. Well do we The word receive It means
Speaker 2: to accept, delight in and brace with obedience, to take
Speaker 2: the word and embrace it with obedience, to delight in it.
Speaker 2: How many people delight in the word of God that
Speaker 2: you can think of? I mean, if everybody delight in
Speaker 2: the word of God, there's not be an empty seat
Speaker 2: here tonight. The word also means to acknowledge as one's own.
Speaker 2: They heard it and received it. Receive means to acknowledge
Speaker 2: his one's own. I think that's how fayir Greek English
Speaker 2: lexicon defines it, to acknowledge is one's own. So they
Speaker 2: hear it and they go, that's mine. I'm taking that
Speaker 2: by his strikes, I was healed, he's yahweh rafa. I
Speaker 2: acknowledge that as mayer, and I'm going to take that.
Speaker 2: The Lord is my shepherd, the Lord is my heal.
Speaker 2: I'm acknowledge that, not he is the shepherd or a
Speaker 2: shepherd or your shepherd. He's my shepherd. And I shall
Speaker 2: not want acknowledge it as your own. And you hear
Speaker 2: the word of God. Don't think, oh, that's be nice
Speaker 2: for the have or oh for some people. You know. No,
Speaker 2: I acknowledge that is my own. I take it. I
Speaker 2: cata lombano, and I seize it. I grab it, I
Speaker 2: tackle it, I make it my own, and I'm not
Speaker 2: letting go. It's mine. Hallelujah. You want it, you get
Speaker 2: your own. This is mine. Oh here, I'll give you
Speaker 2: some of mine. Do your own work. To your own study. Okay,
Speaker 2: So Mark brings out they hear it and receive it,
Speaker 2: and then Matthew says, they hear it and understanding what
Speaker 2: is this saying? How does this apply in my life?
Speaker 2: How does this work? I'm going to study this so
Speaker 2: I can understand it. And then Luke adds another little
Speaker 2: nuance and Luke says, they heard the word and in
Speaker 2: an honest and good heart, possess it in an honest
Speaker 2: and good heart. So obviously the others didn't have that attribute.
Speaker 2: And Jesus said, to good ground, they heard the word
Speaker 2: in an honest heart. Lord showed me. If I need
Speaker 2: to change, I'll change. If I need to repent, I'll repent.
Speaker 2: If I'm doing something wrong, I want to know it.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to harden my heart. I humble myself Lord,
Speaker 2: and I repent. If I need to repent in an
Speaker 2: honest and a good heart, I receive this, Lord, I
Speaker 2: receive this. And then Luke also adds, I said I
Speaker 2: need to crack something I said. Is that Matthew, Mark,
Speaker 2: Luke and John John doesn't give it. It's Matthew, Mark
Speaker 2: and Luke. Because I was looking at the four things there.
Speaker 2: But it's Luke that gives these two things. He says,
Speaker 2: in an honest and good heart, they possess it. They
Speaker 2: possess the word of God in an honest and good heart,
Speaker 2: and bring forth fruit. The good ground receives the word,
Speaker 2: they hear it, and they receive it in an honest
Speaker 2: and good heart. They possess it in an honest and
Speaker 2: good heart, and they bring forth fruit with who can
Speaker 2: help me? They bring forth fruit with somebody say it, huh, nope,
Speaker 2: patience who Pomenae? Well, we talked about two weeks ago
Speaker 2: the power twins faith and patience. Through faith and who Pomenae,
Speaker 2: we had the promises. You have need of patience, you
Speaker 2: have need of who pomenae, that after you've done the
Speaker 2: will of God, you might receive the promise. Run the
Speaker 2: race with who pomenae. With patience, Let who pomenae have
Speaker 2: her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire,
Speaker 2: wanting nothing. And Jesus said in Luke, they brought forth
Speaker 2: thirty sixty and one hundredfold by receiving the word and
Speaker 2: exercising who pomenae, patience, steadfastness, endurance, perseverance, energetic resistance, the
Speaker 2: power of endurance without complaint. They endured, they stood, they
Speaker 2: did not quit, they would not give up, and they
Speaker 2: didn't complain and murmuring gripe about it the whole time.
Speaker 2: It was cheerful endurance. Who I got the vicar? But
Speaker 2: I can tell you're not feeling good? How bias stripes
Speaker 2: some heal though he's my healer. Yeah, but I heard
Speaker 2: about Oh I just rejoice that he's my healer. I
Speaker 2: mean some folk. You just you ask him how you're
Speaker 2: doing waiting?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Why did I say that? I should have known better?
Speaker 2: Because for the next twenty minutes, you're going to get
Speaker 2: an organ recital. This hurts. This organ hurts, and this hurts,
Speaker 2: and this hurts, and this hurts. And it's like they
Speaker 2: just keep rehearsing the problem. At some point we need
Speaker 2: to shift and exercise patience, cheerful endurance without complaint, energetic resistance.
Speaker 2: So that's how we That's why g said, be careful
Speaker 2: how you hear Luke at eighteen? Oh again, we're not
Speaker 2: left in the dark. Like, oh, he told me to
Speaker 2: be careful what I hear and how I hear? But
Speaker 2: how am I supposed to hear? We're not left in
Speaker 2: the dark. Then if we'll just dig a little. We
Speaker 2: find out how we're supposed to hear. We are supposed
Speaker 2: to hear with a love and embracing and a delighting,
Speaker 2: with obedience, acknowledging it is one's own, understanding it in
Speaker 2: an honest and good heart, grabbing hold of it and
Speaker 2: exercising who pomonade patients, steadfast endurance. And then he says
Speaker 2: that kind of here will bring forth fruit with thirty,
Speaker 2: sixty and one hundredfold results. Don't you want that? I do.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be hard, stony or thorny ground
Speaker 2: for the word. I want to bring forth fruit. And
Speaker 2: I'm not satisfied with thirty. I want to move on
Speaker 2: to the sixty and I don't want to get satisfied
Speaker 2: or six. I want to move on to the hundredfold. Well,
Speaker 2: how could you bring forth one hundredfold on the word?
Speaker 2: Jesus said we could. He never lied Hebrews four two.
Speaker 2: Look at it sometime it says the word preached did
Speaker 2: not profit them, not being mixed with help me faith.
Speaker 2: The word was preached, but it didn't help them because
Speaker 2: they didn't mix faith with it. Well, that answers a
Speaker 2: lot of question, right there, A lot of people don't
Speaker 2: mix faith with it when the words preach, you know,
Speaker 2: if they mix with it doubt, I don't know. I
Speaker 2: just don't know about that. Unbelieve that can't be fear well,
Speaker 2: that never work, and on and on. But we need
Speaker 2: to mix faith with it we hear the word of God.
Speaker 2: It's like, again, what is faith? Acting on what you hear,
Speaker 2: acting on the word of God, believing it and acting
Speaker 2: on it, acting on it before you see it, before
Speaker 2: you feel it. Somebody's talking to me after the service recently,
Speaker 2: I've maybe been last Wednesday or something. They said, you
Speaker 2: know a good way that they said that they found it.
Speaker 2: Understand faith because it can seem kind of nebulous. Sometime
Speaker 2: they say confidence, confidence, confidence in God and what he
Speaker 2: said and what he'll do. They mix confidence with it.
Speaker 2: God said it all right, I had confidence in that,
Speaker 2: and Hebrews eleven one does say in some translations, and
Speaker 2: faith is the confidence of the things we hope for. Hallelujah.
Speaker 2: We need to hear. We need to hear and be healed. See,
Speaker 2: we need to be proactive in hearing. Prevention is always
Speaker 2: better than cure. I can't think of a single time
Speaker 2: when it's not. I mean it is. I mean you
Speaker 2: can go down the line everything and anything. I can't
Speaker 2: think of a single time where prevention is not better
Speaker 2: than cure. It's better to not get sick than to
Speaker 2: get healed. It's better to avoid car trouble than to
Speaker 2: have car trouble. It's better to stay out of debt
Speaker 2: than to have to get out of debt. It's better
Speaker 2: to not backslide than to have to repent and get
Speaker 2: right with God, and on and on. We need to
Speaker 2: be proactive in hearing the word of God. Don't wait
Speaker 2: till you're sick before you start studying healing and getting
Speaker 2: into the Word of God. Stay, build up in the word.
Speaker 2: I mean, we need to realize this. This is a
Speaker 2: dangerous world. Truth be told. We need healing every day.
Speaker 2: There's all kinds of stuff out there that you and
Speaker 2: I aren't even aware of. We need healing every day
Speaker 2: all the time. And it's better to live healed than
Speaker 2: to get healing, or, let me say better, it's better
Speaker 2: to be in health than to always beginning healing. A
Speaker 2: lot of people just content if they could just get
Speaker 2: healing all the time. Get set, get healed, get set,
Speaker 2: get here, get set, get heal, get sick, Get here,
Speaker 2: get sick, get heal, get set, get healed. It's a whole
Speaker 2: lot better just than live in health. Three John two, Beloved,
Speaker 2: I pray that you prosper and be healed. No, be
Speaker 2: in health, be in health, Be in health, be in health.
Speaker 2: Proverbs four twenty to twenty two. My son, attend to
Speaker 2: my words and climb your ear to my sayings. Let
Speaker 2: them not depart from thy eyes. Keep them in the
Speaker 2: midst of thine heart for their life, to those who
Speaker 2: find them in health, to all their flesh Exodus fifteen
Speaker 2: to twenty six. I am the Lord, your physician, your healer.
Speaker 2: Exus twenty three twenty five. I'll take sickness away from
Speaker 2: the midst of you. Well, if sickness is taken away,
Speaker 2: you're going to be in health. Deuteronomy seven point fifteen
Speaker 2: says the same thing, I will remove all sickness from you.
Speaker 2: That's a promise you want to embrace. Acknowledge as your own,
Speaker 2: understand it, seize it, and exercise patience and bring forth
Speaker 2: fruit on it. Hallelujah. It's good to be proactive when
Speaker 2: it comes to hearing the word of God. People often
Speaker 2: give the word no place, in no time. They're too busy,
Speaker 2: so they give no time, no place for the word.
Speaker 2: And if somebody is sick or disease, they need to
Speaker 2: get extra doses of it. They need to double up
Speaker 2: on it, triple up on it. We need to be proactive.
Speaker 2: It works. You know, people don't give the word any
Speaker 2: place and they don't get a lot of fruit. But
Speaker 2: fortunately the opposite is true. If we give the word place,
Speaker 2: give it first place, attend to it, it brings forth
Speaker 2: much fruit thirty sixty one hundred and fold. God's word
Speaker 2: is medicine. His word is alive. His word is sharper
Speaker 2: than any two edged sword. It's alive. Hallelujah. Health is invaluable.
Speaker 2: It is invaluable. You can't put a price on your health.
Speaker 2: It's probably the most valuable possession we have, or one
Speaker 2: of them. It's invaluable. So it would pay us rich
Speaker 2: dividends to be in the word consistently regularly because his
Speaker 2: word is medicine. I thank God, I'm walking in divine
Speaker 2: health by and large, But there's times every now and
Speaker 2: then where I get under attack, and man, I oh,
Speaker 2: the thing I get out of that is like sickness
Speaker 2: is terrible. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
Speaker 2: I hate it. You have no energy, you have no
Speaker 2: desire to do anything. You feel miserable, you just want
Speaker 2: to lay in bed. Or if you're in pain, you're
Speaker 2: just in constant pain that affects everything you do and
Speaker 2: you're just not yourself. But when you're feeling good, it's great.
Speaker 2: Health is invaluable. Why would somebody not have time for
Speaker 2: something that is medicine to all their flesh and where
Speaker 2: they could hear and be healed. Why would they not
Speaker 2: want to bring forth fruit? Well, they do want to
Speaker 2: bring forth fruit, but they don't want to do what
Speaker 2: it takes to bring forth fruit. Thirty sixty one hundredfold.
Speaker 2: Where we at Luke nine? What six is that where
Speaker 2: we left off? Or do we get the eleven six? Okay,
Speaker 2: go to verse eleven Luke nine to eleven. And the people,
Speaker 2: when they knew it, followed him, and he received them
Speaker 2: and spoke under them of the Kingdom of God, and
Speaker 2: healed them that had need of healing. Again, they heard
Speaker 2: and were healed. We think it was just an indiscriminate thing. No,
Speaker 2: he spoke to them the Kingdom of God. He preached
Speaker 2: the Gospel, and they were healed. They heard and were healed. Hallelujah.
Speaker 2: Can't go to Luke four, look at a few mormill
Speaker 2: clothes Luke four and verse forty three. And he said,
Speaker 2: under them, I must preach the Kingdom of God. See
Speaker 2: Jesus knew what was important. He and said, I must
Speaker 2: go heal. He said, I must preach. I must preach
Speaker 2: the Kingdom, the rule and reign of God. I must
Speaker 2: preach the Kingdom of God to other cities. For them
Speaker 2: I sand, and he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
Speaker 2: Now notice chapter five, verse one. And it came to
Speaker 2: pass that as the people pressed upon him to hear
Speaker 2: the word of God, not to be healed, but to
Speaker 2: hear the word of God. That's hunger. They pressed on
Speaker 2: him to hear the word of God. Nowadays, it seems
Speaker 2: most people are just so apathetic and complacent and lacks
Speaker 2: of days ago about the Word of God. In hearing it,
Speaker 2: it's saying, well, you know, maybe maybe not some of
Speaker 2: you were a part of it. But I remember in
Speaker 2: the charismatic renewal Word of faith renewal in the seventies
Speaker 2: and eighties, people are so hungry for the Word of
Speaker 2: God because it was like a brand new, fresh revelation.
Speaker 2: I mean we would wait in line outside auditoriums for
Speaker 2: an hour or more just to get in there and
Speaker 2: run and get in the front seat where you could
Speaker 2: get under the spout where the glory came out. Now
Speaker 2: like the church sign I saw. Now, it's like come
Speaker 2: early so you can get a back seat. That's where
Speaker 2: you know what a change in attitude. I mean in
Speaker 2: that word of faith charismatic. They know people couldn't get
Speaker 2: enough of the Word of God, and they were hauling
Speaker 2: tape players around everywhere. I don't know how they'd manufacture
Speaker 2: enough cassette tapes that time. I mean they were going
Speaker 2: right and left. We were copying them, duplicating them, passing
Speaker 2: them out. Here. Have you heard this? No, here, give
Speaker 2: me let me have that series on here. You gotta
Speaker 2: check this out. Okay, I'll take that. Man. We were
Speaker 2: hungry for the Word. I'm still that way. But I
Speaker 2: know a lot of people who were around then that
Speaker 2: they're not, Oh, anything new, it's on TV. What's the
Speaker 2: latest video game? What's the latest attraction at the theme park?
Speaker 2: I need something to tickle my ears. What's the latest
Speaker 2: fatty'sh teaching or something, or or you know what's the
Speaker 2: latest spectacular thing going on? Said, just the word, the word,
Speaker 2: the word. That's where the life is, that's where the path.
Speaker 2: They pressed on him to hear the word of God
Speaker 2: now not his verse twelve. And it came to pass
Speaker 2: when he was in a certain city. Behold a man
Speaker 2: full of leprosy, who's seeing Jesus fell on his face
Speaker 2: and beside him, saying, Lord, if you will, you can
Speaker 2: make me clean. But notice he wasn't healed. Believing that
Speaker 2: he believed Jesus could good like a lot of people,
Speaker 2: but he wasn't healed. He was still full of leprosy.
Speaker 2: Even though he believed Jesus could. His problem was he
Speaker 2: wasn't sure that he wanted to. It was right on
Speaker 2: the money what you said at the opening. You know
Speaker 2: he wants they say, asked Jesus, if you want to,
Speaker 2: you can make me ho And he said I want to.
Speaker 2: One translate said, of course I want to. He wants
Speaker 2: us healed, he wants his curity, wants us cleansed. He
Speaker 2: knew he could, he knew he could, he wasn't sure
Speaker 2: if he wanted to, and Jesus put forth his hand
Speaker 2: verse thirteen and touched him, saying I will or I
Speaker 2: want to be clean, and immediately the leprosy departed from him.
Speaker 2: To notice, the man asked if you will, Jesus said,
Speaker 2: I will, if you want, I want to. When did
Speaker 2: Jesus ever say I won't. Can anybody give me a
Speaker 2: chapter and verse where Jesus said I won't, or somebody
Speaker 2: come and came to him and said, if you will
Speaker 2: you and Jesus said no, I won't, because God's trying
Speaker 2: to teach you something, or this is for your good,
Speaker 2: or this is working character into you. This is perfect
Speaker 2: all that religious traditions, which is right from the devil.
Speaker 2: Jesus never said I won't. He said I will. Now
Speaker 2: these people, it says he say he won't. For something
Speaker 2: to be scriptural, there must be scriptures to back it up.
Speaker 2: They don't have scriptures to back it up, so it's
Speaker 2: not scriptural. It's the traditions of man which make of
Speaker 2: non effect the word of God. He never said I won't,
Speaker 2: he said I will. Look at verse fifteen, But so
Speaker 2: much the more went their fame abroad of him. Now
Speaker 2: notice this, and great multitudes remember I established earlier that
Speaker 2: in one place at least a multitude was ten to
Speaker 2: fifteen thousand a multitude. This is a great multitude, now, notice,
Speaker 2: and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed,
Speaker 2: to hear and to be healed here, and be healed
Speaker 2: here and be healed. Salvation as well, I'll say it
Speaker 2: this way. Healing, just like sad. Salvation starts with hearing.
Speaker 2: Faith comes by hearing. Romans ten fourteen says, how shall
Speaker 2: they believe unless they hear? How shall they hear without
Speaker 2: a preacher? How shall they preach unless they are sent?
Speaker 2: Faith comes by hearing the word of God? How are
Speaker 2: they going to believe unless they hear? They came to
Speaker 2: hear and to be healed. Hallelujah. Oh okay, amount of time.
Speaker 2: Let's just we're here, let's just we'll read this and
Speaker 2: we'll take it up here next time. Verse sixteen. And
Speaker 2: Jesus would drew himself into the wilderness and prayed. And
Speaker 2: it came to pass on a certain day, as he
Speaker 2: was teaching, as he was, what teaching as he was,
Speaker 2: what teaching?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: Was he teaching the word on a certain day as
Speaker 2: he was teaching? Mayboy once a just skip the teaching,
Speaker 2: get to the healings and the miracles and the deliverance
Speaker 2: and the freedom and the prosperity. They don't want to
Speaker 2: have the word, the teaching that builds the faith, that
Speaker 2: causes faith to lay hold of the promises of God.
Speaker 2: On a certain day, as he was teaching the where
Speaker 2: pharisees and doctors of the Law sitting by, which would
Speaker 2: come out of every town of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem.
Speaker 2: And notice, as he was teaching the power of the Law,
Speaker 2: Lord was present to heal them. As he was teaching
Speaker 2: the power, the Lord was present to heal them, and
Speaker 2: none of them got healed. There's no indication that any
Speaker 2: of them got healed, only the one man that they
Speaker 2: tore open the roof and let him down on a cot.
Speaker 2: And Jesus said, Gris verse twenty four, take up your
Speaker 2: bed and walk. None of all these people were there,
Speaker 2: and none of them were getting healed, and yet the
Speaker 2: power was present to heal. Why were they not being healed?
Speaker 2: The Word tells us verse twenty and when Jesus saw
Speaker 2: their faith, so even though he was teaching, apparently they
Speaker 2: weren't mixing faith with it they weren't embracing it, they
Speaker 2: weren't grabbing hold of it. They weren't allowing faith to come.
Speaker 2: They must have been hearing it like the stony ground,
Speaker 2: the hard ground, the thorny ground, with unbelief or doubt
Speaker 2: or fear, or like I just don't know about this,
Speaker 2: and I think that's passed away. That's not for it today.
Speaker 2: But that would never work for me. We can hear
Speaker 2: it and it's still not do us any good. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's sad for me or any preacher to know that
Speaker 2: on any given ser many preachers, there's people that go
Speaker 2: out there and didn't do them a bit of good
Speaker 2: because they didn't. They may have heard it, but they
Speaker 2: didn't mix faith with it, or they questioned around. I
Speaker 2: just don't know about that. I don't think that would work.
Speaker 2: Or they didn't even hear the minders off somewhere else.
Speaker 2: But these people Jesus saw their faith, now says he
Speaker 2: saw their faith. Where do they get the faith? I
Speaker 2: believe this is what I believe. You can believe something else.
Speaker 2: I can't prove this with the scripture, but you can't
Speaker 2: disprove it with the scripture. So when we get to heaven.
Speaker 2: You'll find out I'm right and you're wrong. But I
Speaker 2: can't prove this, but I think I have good evidence
Speaker 2: for it. I believe it says these four men they went.
Speaker 2: I'm saying for I've always heard four, but doesn't say for.
Speaker 2: I wonder if one of the other passages it does,
Speaker 2: but i've always heard four. Anyway, we'll say his friends,
Speaker 2: these men they went. It says they open up the
Speaker 2: roof and they let him down. And Jesus saw their faith.
Speaker 2: Whose faith? The men faith that let him down? And
Speaker 2: the man's faith on the bed, Because that takes some faith.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're a paralytic, do you even take
Speaker 2: some faith if we said, hey, we're gonna haul you
Speaker 2: up on the roof, here tear open the roof and
Speaker 2: let you down on some ropes. But that takes some
Speaker 2: faith on your part. I mean, they might roll you
Speaker 2: off the roof, then you're really in bad shape. That
Speaker 2: takes some faith. Might fall through the roof. Oh he's dead.
Speaker 2: Now he was paralyzed, but now he's dead. Oh, Jesus
Speaker 2: said fear and the hat only believe. But I'll conclude this,
Speaker 2: he saw their faith. Now here's what I'm saying I
Speaker 2: can't definitely prove it, but I think I have strong
Speaker 2: evidence for it. Here's what I think happened. The men
Speaker 2: will say, the four men they were in that meeting,
Speaker 2: they heard Jesus. They said, let's go get Simeon. Let's
Speaker 2: go kidd him. Did you hear what I heard? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I heard it too. The power that the spirit of
Speaker 2: the Lord is upon him. He's anointed to preach deliverance
Speaker 2: of the captors. He's preaching the year. Do you believe
Speaker 2: in your freedom? Let's go get Simeon. He's down there paralyzed.
Speaker 2: We need to get him in this meeting. And they
Speaker 2: go and they get him, and they come back and
Speaker 2: their seats taken. They pressed to hear the word of God.
Speaker 2: Oh what are we gonna do? And one of the
Speaker 2: must have an idea. I don't care. Let's go up
Speaker 2: on the roof, tear the roof open. I've heard two
Speaker 2: interpretative with some people say this is Peter's home, others
Speaker 2: say it was jesus home. In one place that does
Speaker 2: say they went to his house. Speaking of jesus house, See,
Speaker 2: Jesus wasn't so poor, he didn't have anything. That's a
Speaker 2: tradition of men. He had a treasure they gave to
Speaker 2: the poor. He took care of a whole entourage of
Speaker 2: people that traveled with him, and women helped out. We
Speaker 2: know that, but I can imagine the talk. But he
Speaker 2: saw their faith. I think these men were in the meeting.
Speaker 2: They had faith, would say, whoa, let's go get Simeon.
Speaker 2: They'd lower Simeon down. And Jesus can sense the faith
Speaker 2: coming out of him. He says, I say, do you rise,
Speaker 2: take up your bed and walk. And he rose, took
Speaker 2: up his bed and walked. Jesus would have said, according
Speaker 2: to your faith, be it unto you, unto you, Collelijah, Father,
Speaker 2: we thank you. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by
Speaker 2: the word of God. And the more we feed on
Speaker 2: the word, the more faith comes, the more faith comes,
Speaker 2: the more confidence we have. And what you've said, and
Speaker 2: what you've promised, and what you've told us, Lord, we
Speaker 2: thank you that we can be here and be healed.
Speaker 2: Lord teach us to take heed not only what we hear,
Speaker 2: but how we hear, and that when we hear the
Speaker 2: word of God, we would not allow ourselves to be
Speaker 2: distracted or have wandering minds. Or wandering thoughts. But rather
Speaker 2: we would hear it and accept it, delight in it,
Speaker 2: and embrace it with obedience. We would acknowledge it as
Speaker 2: our own. We would understand it in an honest and
Speaker 2: good heart, possess it and exercise patience and bring forth
Speaker 2: fruit thirty sixty and one hundredfold in our own lives,
Speaker 2: and then go out and minister healing and life and
Speaker 2: salvation to others. Hallelujah. In fact, let's make that our
Speaker 2: prayer in that confession. Our confession is we endeavor to
Speaker 2: bring this to a close. Say this when we close
Speaker 2: your eyes and just say and pray this with me. Lord,
Speaker 2: teach me what to hear and how to hear. Thank
Speaker 2: you for listening. We hope that you enjoyed today's episode.
