? (Theme Song) ?
? Jesus is worthy ?
00:00:01.63\00:00:11.63
? oh yes, he's worthy
? ? worthy of all... ?
00:00:11.63\00:00:18.63
? all the praise! ? (Music)
00:00:18.63\00:00:21.60
Pastor Byrd: but
it's not your season yet.
00:00:21.60\00:00:24.96
And let me tell you
something about seasons,
00:00:24.96\00:00:27.30
because I always say,
don't get mad and hate
00:00:27.30\00:00:28.90
on somebody else
because God is blessing them now
00:00:28.90\00:00:31.13
and it seems that
God is passing you over.
00:00:31.13\00:00:33.76
If God blesses them
you better learn how
00:00:33.76\00:00:36.03
to become a cheerleader,
because if he's blessing him
00:00:36.03\00:00:38.06
he must be in the neighborhood
and it's just a matter of time
00:00:38.06\00:00:41.00
before he blesses you.
00:00:41.00\00:00:43.63
But maybe, your
situation is like Jairus'.
00:00:43.63\00:00:47.40
Bible tells that
Jairus is the ruler of
00:00:47.40\00:00:49.93
the synagogue, which
means that Jairus was the one
00:00:49.93\00:00:52.70
in charge of public worship,
Jairus was over the choir,
00:00:52.70\00:00:57.53
Jairus was over the elders
board, Jairus was the praise
00:00:57.53\00:01:01.33
and worship leader.
00:01:01.33\00:01:02.43
Jairus was the pastor.
00:01:02.43\00:01:04.03
Jairus is a religious man.
00:01:04.03\00:01:05.86
But the Bible says that his
daughter is sick unto death.
00:01:05.86\00:01:09.70
Lesson number one for us
today, just because you work
00:01:09.70\00:01:12.20
for God and serve his
church that does not exempt you
00:01:12.20\00:01:14.76
from trial and tribulation.
00:01:14.76\00:01:16.96
In fact, you've got to go
through some fire to come out
00:01:16.96\00:01:19.60
as pure gold.
00:01:19.60\00:01:20.86
You can be the pastor,
you can be the elder, you can
00:01:20.86\00:01:23.56
be the deacon, you
can be the Sabbath school
00:01:23.56\00:01:25.56
teacher, but you're
going to go through something.
00:01:25.56\00:01:28.13
I've been through enough
stuff to know that you can pray
00:01:28.13\00:01:30.20
until your lips are
dry, pray until your knees
00:01:30.20\00:01:33.76
have welts in them,
but every now and then
00:01:33.76\00:01:35.76
you're going to
go through something.
00:01:35.76\00:01:37.76
Somebody you
love is going to die.
00:01:37.76\00:01:39.76
Somebody is going to get sick.
00:01:39.76\00:01:41.73
Somebody is going to hurt you.
00:01:41.73\00:01:43.90
The Bible declared that Jairus'
daughter is sick unto death
00:01:43.90\00:01:49.06
and there is a
multitude that is gathered
00:01:49.06\00:01:51.06
by the seashore and
Jairus petitioned Jesus.
00:01:51.06\00:01:53.90
He petitions the Master
because he recognizes is that,
00:01:53.90\00:01:56.60
what I need I don't
need from anybody else.
00:01:56.60\00:01:59.46
What I need I can
only get from Jesus.
00:01:59.46\00:02:02.46
Anybody ever felt that way?
00:02:02.46\00:02:03.83
There's a crowd at the
seashore, multitudes have
00:02:03.83\00:02:07.03
thronged Jesus Christ.
00:02:07.03\00:02:08.56
They gathered to hear Jesus.
00:02:08.56\00:02:10.20
The Bible declares
that much has happened
00:02:10.20\00:02:12.46
prior to Jesus
running into Jairus.
00:02:12.46\00:02:14.76
Jesus has
turned water into wine,
00:02:14.76\00:02:17.13
Jesus has healed
Peter's mother-in-law,
00:02:17.13\00:02:19.40
Jesus has healed the
paralytic that was lowered
00:02:19.40\00:02:21.40
through the roof,
Jesus has healed the man
00:02:21.40\00:02:23.46
with the withered hand.
00:02:23.46\00:02:24.46
Jesus has healed
the two blind men.
00:02:24.46\00:02:27.23
Jesus has stilled the
storm on the Sea of Galilee.
00:02:27.23\00:02:31.23
Jesus has healed
the demoniac of Gadara.
00:02:31.23\00:02:34.03
Much has happened.
00:02:34.03\00:02:35.23
But then here come Jairus.
00:02:35.23\00:02:37.23
Jairus was in the
multitude with a bunch of folk,
00:02:37.23\00:02:41.40
but he did not allow
the crowd to stop him
00:02:41.40\00:02:44.03
from getting what he needed.
00:02:44.03\00:02:47.00
or anybody stop you
from getting your blessing.
00:02:47.00\00:02:55.00
There will come a time in
your life when you have to
00:02:55.00\00:02:59.16
make up your mind that
it doesn't make a difference
00:02:59.16\00:03:01.76
how many folk are around
you, how many folk are looking
00:03:01.76\00:03:05.16
at you, but you have to
say, I will not be intimidated
00:03:05.16\00:03:08.56
by the crowd.
00:03:08.56\00:03:09.56
I'm not worried
about what people may say,
00:03:09.56\00:03:11.86
I'm not worried
about what folk will do,
00:03:11.86\00:03:13.86
by any means
necessary I'm getting to Jesus.
00:03:13.86\00:03:16.66
When you're in the
crowd trying to get Jesus,
00:03:16.66\00:03:19.30
you're not in the
crowd like everybody else.
00:03:19.30\00:03:21.63
You're not in the
crowd to be a spectator.
00:03:21.63\00:03:25.46
You're not in the
crowd to be an onlooker.
00:03:25.46\00:03:27.46
You don't come to
church to be a spectator.
00:03:27.46\00:03:30.30
You're not in the
crowd just to try to find out
00:03:30.30\00:03:32.36
who's here and who's not here.
00:03:32.36\00:03:34.83
That's why sometimes you
have to tell folk, listen,
00:03:34.83\00:03:38.03
if you knew what I was here
for you'd understand why I act
00:03:38.03\00:03:43.56
like I act.
00:03:43.56\00:03:44.56
You'd understand why I
sing like I sing, why I shout
00:03:44.56\00:03:50.93
like I shout.
00:03:50.93\00:03:51.93
You'd understand that
my praise is not programmed
00:03:51.93\00:03:54.83
because I'm trying to get
in the very presence of God,
00:03:54.83\00:03:57.70
because in the presence of
God there's fullness of joy.
00:03:57.70\00:04:00.60
I don't care who calls
on Jesus, but my thing is,
00:04:00.60\00:04:04.56
Lord, pass me
not, oh, gentle Savior,
00:04:04.56\00:04:06.90
hear my humble
cry, while the others
00:04:06.90\00:04:09.56
thou are calling,
Lord, do not pass me by.
00:04:09.56\00:04:13.33
But what do you do when
you're trying to get to the Lord
00:04:15.66\00:04:21.36
and it's interrupted?
00:04:21.36\00:04:24.06
What do you do when you
need a miracle from Jesus
00:04:24.06\00:04:29.36
and it's disrupted?
00:04:29.36\00:04:31.76
What do you do when you
need healing for your body
00:04:31.76\00:04:33.96
and peace for your
soul and it's broken up
00:04:33.96\00:04:36.16
by a distracting,
disturbing force you
00:04:36.16\00:04:38.56
can't control?
00:04:38.56\00:04:40.53
What do you do when Jesus
says, yes, I hear you and I'm
00:04:40.53\00:04:45.33
on my way to your
house, your daughter is sick,
00:04:45.33\00:04:48.16
but it's your
day, it's your turn.
00:04:48.16\00:04:50.46
Come on, Jesus.
00:04:50.46\00:04:51.90
The crowd is following
you and Jesus to your house.
00:04:51.90\00:04:57.53
What do you do when it's your
turn, your time, your season
00:04:57.53\00:05:00.33
and it's interrupted?
00:05:00.33\00:05:01.86
Ellen White says that as
soon as Jairus approached Jesus,
00:05:01.86\00:05:05.56
Jesus set out at
once to Jairus' house.
00:05:05.56\00:05:10.23
Set out at once.
00:05:10.23\00:05:12.00
Didn't meander all around,
didn't wait, didn't pause,
00:05:12.00\00:05:14.56
didn't hesitate, but she
says, immediately he began
00:05:14.56\00:05:17.83
to Jairus' house.
00:05:17.83\00:05:19.26
The trip wasn't long, but she
said people just kept crowding
00:05:19.26\00:05:22.76
around him.
00:05:22.76\00:05:24.96
Jesus then follows
Jairus to his house.
00:05:24.96\00:05:27.86
The Bible says there's a
woman who heard Jesus would
00:05:27.86\00:05:30.63
be passing by.
00:05:30.63\00:05:32.30
The Bible says she had
been sick for 12 long years.
00:05:32.30\00:05:35.20
She needed
something from Jesus, too.
00:05:35.20\00:05:37.20
She presses through the crowd
and says, if I could just touch
00:05:37.20\00:05:40.40
his clothes.
00:05:40.40\00:05:41.73
If I could just touch
the hem of his garment
00:05:41.73\00:05:45.83
I'll be made whole.
00:05:45.83\00:05:48.13
But then, wait a
minute, Jesus is on his way
00:05:48.13\00:05:53.03
to Jairus' house.
00:05:53.03\00:05:55.13
Jairus' daughter is sick.
00:05:55.13\00:05:57.70
It's Jairus' turn.
00:05:57.70\00:05:59.60
But what do you do when
your turn is interrupted.
00:05:59.60\00:06:03.60
You're Jairus, you're walking
with Jesus, Jesus is about
00:06:03.60\00:06:07.53
to give you what you need,
but then Jesus stops and says,
00:06:07.53\00:06:12.60
somebody touched me.
00:06:12.60\00:06:15.76
Well, yes, Lord,
somebody has touched you.
00:06:15.76\00:06:20.56
There's a bunch of folk
out here in line, standing,
00:06:20.56\00:06:26.36
shoving, pushing,
touching, but, Jesus, come on,
00:06:26.36\00:06:30.46
my daughter is sick.
00:06:30.46\00:06:32.96
You're the only one
that can heal my daughter.
00:06:32.96\00:06:36.30
We're almost at our house.
00:06:36.30\00:06:38.63
I need a miracle and I need it
today and all these other folk,
00:06:38.63\00:06:42.23
I know they might need
help, but, Jesus, it's my turn.
00:06:42.23\00:06:46.90
I need my daughter
to be healed today.
00:06:46.90\00:06:50.26
So, I ask you what you
do when it's your turn,
00:06:50.26\00:06:55.13
but somebody else
has to get theirs first.
00:06:55.13\00:06:58.70
Somebody else has to
get their healing first.
00:06:58.70\00:07:00.83
Somebody else has to
get their blessing first.
00:07:00.83\00:07:02.83
Somebody else has to
get their degree first.
00:07:02.83\00:07:05.03
I've come to tell somebody
today that maybe you need to
00:07:05.03\00:07:07.03
understand that even when it
looks like somebody has to get
00:07:07.03\00:07:09.06
their miracle first it doesn't
dilute the fact that your
00:07:09.06\00:07:12.50
miracle is on the way.
00:07:12.50\00:07:13.56
Maybe God is just trying
to tell you, I'm trying to see
00:07:13.56\00:07:18.80
how you're going to act
when I bless other people before
00:07:18.80\00:07:23.56
I bless you.
00:07:23.56\00:07:24.86
I'm trying to see if
you're going to have an attitude
00:07:24.86\00:07:29.83
when somebody else gets
the miracle, when somebody else
00:07:29.83\00:07:32.23
gets the promotion, when
somebody else gets the job
00:07:32.23\00:07:34.46
first, when somebody
else passes the test first,
00:07:34.46\00:07:37.63
when somebody
else graduates first,
00:07:37.63\00:07:39.96
when somebody else
gets married first,
00:07:39.96\00:07:42.23
when somebody else
has the baby first,
00:07:42.23\00:07:44.53
when somebody else has
the car or the house first,
00:07:44.53\00:07:47.40
when somebody else
gets the healing first.
00:07:47.40\00:07:52.26
Here's the woman
with the issue of blood,
00:07:52.26\00:07:56.56
she slows Jesus
up and the Bible says
00:07:56.56\00:08:01.66
she gets her healing.
00:08:01.66\00:08:03.66
Jesus heals the woman and
he says, daughter, thy faith
00:08:05.66\00:08:09.66
has made thee whole.
00:08:09.66\00:08:10.66
But then what about Jairus?
00:08:10.66\00:08:18.63
A messenger comes to
Jairus and says, look, man,
00:08:18.63\00:08:25.56
don't worry about it.
00:08:25.56\00:08:27.86
Don't trouble the Master.
00:08:27.86\00:08:30.46
Your daughter is dead.
00:08:30.46\00:08:33.23
Now here's brother Jairus.
00:08:33.23\00:08:36.10
If it weren't for this woman
we would have been on time.
00:08:36.10\00:08:43.70
If it weren't for this
interruption we would have
00:08:43.70\00:08:47.43
gotten home on time.
00:08:47.43\00:08:48.43
I'm glad this woman got
healed, but it weren't for
00:08:48.43\00:08:52.36
this distraction my daughter
would be breathing right now.
00:08:52.36\00:08:58.76
I like how Ellen White puts
it, she says in "Desire of Ages"
00:08:58.76\00:09:01.56
that Jairus
caught the ear of Jesus.
00:09:01.56\00:09:06.50
Jesus responds, be
not afraid, only believe.
00:09:06.50\00:09:14.06
In other words, whose
report are you going to believe?
00:09:14.06\00:09:20.83
Don't you know who I am?
00:09:20.83\00:09:24.90
I am the
Resurrection and the Life.
00:09:24.90\00:09:29.76
If I do show up
late, I'm still early.
00:09:29.76\00:09:33.96
You're with the answer,
so why are you focusing on
00:09:33.96\00:09:37.30
the problem?
00:09:37.30\00:09:38.53
It's not a miracle if I
get there when you want me to,
00:09:38.53\00:09:42.30
it's a miracle
when I show up late.
00:09:42.30\00:09:45.86
Lesson number
three, he may not come
00:09:45.86\00:09:49.50
when you want him, but
he's always right on time.
00:09:49.50\00:09:54.60
He's an on-time God.
00:09:54.60\00:09:56.50
Yes, he is.
00:09:56.50\00:09:58.70
Let me throw this in quickly.
00:09:58.70\00:10:00.20
You know the message
that came with the bad news.
00:10:00.20\00:10:02.20
Let me throw this in quickly.
00:10:02.20\00:10:03.20
That's why you have
to surround yourself
00:10:03.20\00:10:05.20
with positive people.
00:10:05.20\00:10:07.63
You see, negative
people told him, don't worry,
00:10:07.63\00:10:09.63
she's dead.
00:10:09.63\00:10:10.63
Move on.
00:10:10.63\00:10:11.63
Don't trouble the Master.
00:10:11.63\00:10:12.63
But you have to be
around positive people.
00:10:12.63\00:10:14.63
You don't need to be around
folk who mean you no good.
00:10:14.63\00:10:16.63
You can do bad by yourself.
00:10:16.63\00:10:17.93
You have to be
around positive people.
00:10:17.93\00:10:21.86
You have to be around winners.
00:10:21.86\00:10:23.46
Everybody say winners.
00:10:23.46\00:10:24.90
You have to be
around conquerors.
00:10:24.90\00:10:27.93
And let me talk
about winners for a minute.
00:10:27.93\00:10:31.06
There is a certain
mentality associated with
00:10:31.06\00:10:34.13
being a winner.
00:10:34.13\00:10:35.20
People who are
winners hang together.
00:10:35.20\00:10:37.83
Let me say that one more time.
00:10:37.83\00:10:39.06
People who are
winners hang together.
00:10:39.06\00:10:44.46
Winners expect to win.
00:10:44.46\00:10:47.23
Winners don't expect to lose.
00:10:47.23\00:10:49.70
That's why certain
sports teams, the Yankees,
00:10:49.70\00:10:52.20
for example, they always have
winning seasons because they
00:10:52.20\00:10:55.90
have a culture of winning.
00:10:55.90\00:10:57.86
Some sports teams
always have losing seasons.
00:10:57.86\00:11:01.76
But let me tell you this,
that's not just in the secular
00:11:01.76\00:11:04.10
world, but that's in
the spiritual world, too.
00:11:04.10\00:11:06.46
If you a spiritual winner you
will gravitate to other people
00:11:06.46\00:11:09.36
who are spiritual winners,
because there's a mentality
00:11:09.36\00:11:11.70
that this isn't about
money or anything tangible,
00:11:11.70\00:11:13.80
but there's a mentality
that goes along with winning.
00:11:13.80\00:11:16.83
That's why it's hard
to defeat a champion.
00:11:16.83\00:11:20.06
That's why you're always told,
never underestimate the heart
00:11:20.06\00:11:23.60
of a champion.
00:11:23.60\00:11:24.60
And once you get the mentality
of a winner, you can listen
00:11:24.60\00:11:27.90
to a person talk a
few minutes and it either
00:11:27.90\00:11:30.16
feeds you or it
doesn't and sooner or later,
00:11:30.16\00:11:32.70
the things that don't
feed you, you don't spend time
00:11:32.70\00:11:38.90
fooling with them,
because it's counterproductive
00:11:38.90\00:11:41.03
to where you're trying to go.
00:11:41.03\00:11:43.20
You see, I'm a winner.
00:11:43.20\00:11:45.00
You're a winner.
00:11:45.00\00:11:46.06
We're more than conquerors.
00:11:46.06\00:11:47.50
I'm trying to help
somebody up in here.
00:11:47.50\00:11:50.36
Understand that I'm
trying to go somewhere.
00:11:50.36\00:11:53.16
I'm not just
here just to be here.
00:11:53.16\00:11:55.53
I say it all the time,
if you're going to come
00:11:55.53\00:11:57.70
to church, church
ought to mean something.
00:11:57.70\00:12:00.16
I'm trying to get
to God's great heaven.
00:12:00.16\00:12:02.96
I'm trying to get
to God's great kingdom.
00:12:02.96\00:12:05.10
I don't fight for
victory, I fight from victory,
00:12:05.10\00:12:08.53
because Satan has
already been defeated.
00:12:08.53\00:12:11.53
And then the converse of that.
00:12:12.83\00:12:15.83
Losing and failing
also promote a mindset.
00:12:15.83\00:12:19.53
You get around failing
people and failing circumstances
00:12:19.53\00:12:23.36
and listen to the negative
thoughts and you'll find
00:12:23.36\00:12:25.36
yourself unable to get back
up again, because not only are
00:12:25.36\00:12:27.46
you down, but your
environment is down.
00:12:27.46\00:12:29.86
And everybody that is
talking to you is down.
00:12:29.86\00:12:32.33
And you develop a
mentality that is built around
00:12:32.33\00:12:34.63
your condition.
00:12:34.63\00:12:35.63
That's why you've got
to watch who you hang with.
00:12:35.63\00:12:38.80
Watch who your friends are.
00:12:38.80\00:12:41.00
You are the company you keep.
00:12:41.00\00:12:44.23
Be not afraid, Jesus said.
00:12:44.23\00:12:46.90
Only believe.
00:12:46.90\00:12:48.43
Where there is fear
there is little faith.
00:12:48.43\00:12:51.33
Faith drives out fear.
00:12:51.33\00:12:53.56
Jairus had been strong
in faith that he found no
00:12:53.56\00:12:56.93
difficulty in believing
that Jesus can heal his daughter
00:12:56.93\00:13:00.36
but now he's called upon
to exercise greater faith,
00:13:00.36\00:13:03.80
faith that the clutch of
death itself could not break.
00:13:03.80\00:13:08.06
So, Jesus gets to Jarius'
house and Jesus says, I need
00:13:08.06\00:13:17.26
Peter, James and John.
00:13:17.26\00:13:22.70
Not the rest of you all, not
all of the 12, but I just need
00:13:22.70\00:13:26.90
Peter, James and John.
00:13:26.90\00:13:31.30
He says, I appreciate the
other nine, I thank you, but
00:13:31.30\00:13:37.46
I need Peter, James and John.
00:13:37.46\00:13:42.60
He said, because we're getting
ready to confront the enemy
00:13:42.60\00:13:46.16
and I just need
Peter, James and John.
00:13:46.16\00:13:49.23
Somebody's going to
get this in a minute.
00:13:49.23\00:13:51.96
I've learned, lesson number
four, the closer you get to
00:13:51.96\00:13:55.70
your miracle, your
crowd is going to get smaller.
00:13:55.70\00:13:59.20
Because everybody is not
going to understand the level of
00:13:59.20\00:14:02.30
spiritual warfare that
you're about to enter into.
00:14:02.30\00:14:06.00
That's why in life you have to
know who your Peter, James and
00:14:06.00\00:14:09.36
John are.
00:14:09.36\00:14:10.36
It doesn't mean there's
anything wrong with Matthew,
00:14:10.36\00:14:12.63
Thomas or Andrew, but you've
got to know your Peter, James
00:14:12.63\00:14:15.86
and John, because everybody
can't handle everything.
00:14:15.86\00:14:18.16
They get to the house
00:14:18.16\00:14:24.16
and the people in
the house are crying.
00:14:26.30\00:14:29.60
Ellen White says, they
are professional mourners.
00:14:29.60\00:14:34.46
Which means, these are
folk that get paid to cry.
00:14:34.46\00:14:38.53
Jesus walks in.
00:14:43.40\00:14:46.06
He walks in amidst
the professional mourners.
00:14:46.06\00:14:48.93
Jesus walks in with Peter,
James and John, and then Jesus
00:14:48.93\00:14:54.70
says to Jarius, your
daughter is not dead, she's just
00:14:54.70\00:14:59.96
sleeping.
00:14:59.96\00:15:01.03
The Bible says in verse number
40, and I love this passage of
00:15:01.03\00:15:07.36
Scripture, but the people
in the house started laughing.
00:15:07.36\00:15:12.10
These professional
mourners start laughing.
00:15:12.10\00:15:14.96
They laugh like Jesus
was crazy, joking or making
00:15:14.96\00:15:18.03
something up.
00:15:18.03\00:15:19.03
But then the Bible says-
-I love this, I love this,
00:15:19.03\00:15:20.33
I love this--the Bible
says Jesus puts them out.
00:15:20.33\00:15:24.70
Lesson number four, when
you're praying for a miracle,
00:15:24.70\00:15:31.53
when you're looking
for a miracle, when you're
00:15:31.53\00:15:36.10
expecting the impossible,
when you're believing the
00:15:36.10\00:15:39.76
invisible, when you're feeling
the intangible, you've got
00:15:39.76\00:15:43.66
people laughing, doubting,
making fun and not believing,
00:15:43.66\00:15:48.00
put them out.
00:15:48.00\00:15:49.83
There have been times when I
went to the hospital to visit
00:15:49.83\00:15:54.33
folk and somebody was sick,
and the family wanted me to
00:15:54.33\00:15:57.73
pray for healing.
00:15:57.73\00:15:58.73
And I would go and I still
do it, I'd go into the room,
00:15:58.73\00:16:01.96
because sometimes you're going
to feel a certain vibe in the
00:16:01.96\00:16:04.33
room, and I'd go in a room and
before I prayed, I'll say, now
00:16:04.33\00:16:09.00
it was nice to meet all of
you, come see me at Oakwood
00:16:09.00\00:16:12.96
on Sabbath mornings, but I
need you to understand that
00:16:12.96\00:16:16.93
I believe in Jehovah Jireh,
I believe that he's a healer.
00:16:16.93\00:16:21.86
And if you don't
believe that, no hard feelings,
00:16:21.86\00:16:24.16
I'm not mad at you,
but you need to go out
00:16:24.16\00:16:27.53
of this room, because
we're about to pray down
00:16:27.53\00:16:29.10
the power of God
and I don't need any
00:16:29.10\00:16:32.33
doubting, faithless,
unbelieving, laughing
00:16:32.33\00:16:35.83
spirits in this room.
00:16:35.83\00:16:36.83
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:16:36.83\00:16:40.26
God told me to tell
somebody in Oakwood today,
00:16:40.26\00:16:42.46
told me to tell
somebody by television today
00:16:42.46\00:16:45.60
that there are some folk
in your life who are laughing
00:16:45.60\00:16:49.43
at what God is getting
ready to do in your life,
00:16:49.43\00:16:53.03
but it's your turn right now.
00:16:53.03\00:16:54.90
They think you're
crazy for believing something
00:16:54.90\00:16:56.60
is getting ready to happen,
but it's your turn right now,
00:16:56.60\00:17:00.16
and God told me to tell
somebody to tell them to get
00:17:00.16\00:17:04.60
their self and get out.
00:17:04.60\00:17:10.66
Because you don't need
folk doubting your miracle.
00:17:10.66\00:17:13.60
You need somebody who
can touch and agree with you,
00:17:13.60\00:17:16.56
somebody who can
stand in agreement with you.
00:17:16.56\00:17:19.13
You need a child of God
who knows how to fall on their
00:17:19.13\00:17:23.46
knees and knows how to pray.
00:17:23.46\00:17:26.20
You need an arm swinging,
Holy Ghost intoxicated,
00:17:26.20\00:17:30.46
power praying child
of God who can stand in
00:17:30.46\00:17:33.46
agreement believing God can
work a miracle in your life.
00:17:33.46\00:17:38.80
You need
positive folk around you.
00:17:38.80\00:17:40.96
If you can't help
me, don't hinder me.
00:17:40.96\00:17:43.00
Get from around us.
00:17:43.00\00:17:46.60
Get up.
00:17:46.60\00:17:48.23
Jesus put them out.
00:17:48.23\00:17:49.53
That's a word
for somebody today.
00:17:49.53\00:17:51.70
Somebody's miracle will
never come until you're willing
00:17:51.70\00:17:53.76
to put the naysayers out.
00:17:53.76\00:17:56.90
Out of your mind, out of
your body, out of your spirit.
00:17:56.90\00:18:01.70
And so verse 21 says: "He
took the damsel by the hand,
00:18:01.70\00:18:07.86
and said unto her,
Talitha cumi; which is,
00:18:07.86\00:18:11.00
being interpreted,
Damsel, I say unto thee, arise."
00:18:11.00\00:18:16.53
I say unto thee, arise.
00:18:16.53\00:18:22.53
Hallelujah, somebody.
00:18:26.00\00:18:29.70
Do you see what's going on?
00:18:29.70\00:18:35.36
Jesus says, arise.
00:18:35.36\00:18:40.26
Jesus is talking to a dead girl.
00:18:40.26\00:18:45.06
Jesus is talking to what's dead,
00:18:45.06\00:18:50.00
but he's speaking those things
that aren't as though they are.
00:18:50.00\00:18:56.00
Somebody's going to
get this in a minute.
00:18:56.00\00:18:58.30
Lesson number five
is, there will come a time
00:18:58.30\00:19:01.23
in your life that you
have to speak over those things
00:19:01.23\00:19:04.26
that folks said
were dead in your life.
00:19:04.26\00:19:10.43
You have to speak
the stuff that folks said
00:19:10.43\00:19:13.83
would never get up.
00:19:13.83\00:19:14.86
You've got to speak to every
dead situation in your life
00:19:14.86\00:19:18.13
and you've got to declare
in the name of Jesus, get up.
00:19:18.13\00:19:22.23
I know we may be getting
ready to have the funeral.
00:19:22.23\00:19:25.13
I know we may be
getting ready to say it's over.
00:19:25.13\00:19:28.30
But Jesus is the
resurrection and the life.
00:19:28.30\00:19:31.66
Jesus is alpha and
omega, that first and the last.
00:19:31.66\00:19:36.23
Too many of us
speak ourselves to death.
00:19:36.23\00:19:41.76
There comes a time
that you've got to speak
00:19:41.76\00:19:45.30
life over your situation,
life over your family,
00:19:45.30\00:19:48.40
life over your marriage,
life over your children,
00:19:48.40\00:19:52.83
life over your grandchildren,
life over your job,
00:19:52.83\00:19:56.40
life over your education,
life over your grades,
00:19:56.40\00:20:01.46
life over your finances,
life over your friends,
00:20:01.90\00:20:05.50
life over your
sickness, life over our schools,
00:20:05.50\00:20:08.53
life over our church.
00:20:08.53\00:20:10.53
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:20:10.53\00:20:12.33
If the devil was
going to kill you,
00:20:12.33\00:20:13.56
he should have killed
you when he had a chance.
00:20:13.56\00:20:15.66
But you know what?
00:20:15.66\00:20:16.76
He couldn't do.
00:20:16.76\00:20:18.50
God wouldn't let him do it.
00:20:18.50\00:20:19.46
God spoke life
into your situation.
00:20:19.46\00:20:23.70
Open up your mouth
and speak life into your
00:20:23.70\00:20:26.53
situation.
00:20:26.53\00:20:27.43
Don't receive the
evil report of the enemy.
00:20:27.43\00:20:29.93
Don't sit back and think
it's over, because I've come
00:20:29.93\00:20:33.13
to tell somebody,
it ain't over until
00:20:33.13\00:20:34.30
God says so.
00:20:34.30\00:20:37.46
It's your turn.
00:20:37.46\00:20:40.00
Just hold on.
00:20:40.00\00:20:42.93
You're got to learn in
this life, and I've learned,
00:20:42.93\00:20:45.80
you have to learn
how to have a yet praise.
00:20:45.80\00:20:48.83
Which means, it
hasn't happened yet.
00:20:48.83\00:20:53.03
The healing for your body,
it just hasn't happened yet.
00:20:53.03\00:20:58.70
The job you applied, it
just hasn't happened yet.
00:20:58.70\00:21:03.83
Graduation day, it
just hasn't happened yet.
00:21:03.83\00:21:07.80
The money for financial
clearance, it just hasn't
00:21:07.80\00:21:12.33
happened yet.
00:21:12.33\00:21:13.46
You better get a yet praise.
00:21:13.46\00:21:16.86
The Bible says that Jairus'
daughter got up and when she
00:21:16.86\00:21:22.46
got up, the Bible says
there were all astonished.
00:21:22.46\00:21:25.80
They were amazed.
00:21:25.80\00:21:26.96
You've got to look folk dead
in the eye and you've got to
00:21:26.96\00:21:31.10
say, when God does for me,
all of my haters, all of my
00:21:31.10\00:21:36.60
naysayers are going to lose
their minds when they see what
00:21:36.60\00:21:41.30
God is about to do for me.
00:21:41.30\00:21:42.90
You don't know like I
know what he's done for me.
00:21:42.90\00:21:47.10
Let me tell you something.
00:21:47.10\00:21:48.86
Something happens when
you get a touch from Jesus.
00:21:48.86\00:21:53.83
There's power when you
come in contact with Jesus.
00:21:53.83\00:21:59.40
The woman with the
issue of blood, if I could
00:21:59.40\00:22:01.50
just touch his clothes.
00:22:01.50\00:22:04.06
When Jesus got to
the little girl's house,
00:22:04.06\00:22:05.63
Jesus took her by the hand.
00:22:05.63\00:22:07.66
Mark 5 is the only chapter,
the only book of the gospels
00:22:07.66\00:22:11.96
that records her age, 12.
00:22:11.96\00:22:14.53
Jesus touches her.
00:22:14.53\00:22:15.53
He lifts her up.
00:22:15.53\00:22:16.96
All you need, whatever you're
going through, all you need
00:22:16.96\00:22:23.40
is one touch.
00:22:23.40\00:22:24.70
Is there anybody in
this place that knows what
00:22:24.70\00:22:30.13
one touch can do?
00:22:30.13\00:22:31.13
Somebody knows that divinity
can touch dust, that mercy can
00:22:31.13\00:22:36.33
touch your mess, that hope can
touch your hopelessness, that
00:22:36.33\00:22:41.10
love can touch your loneliness
and joy can touch your junk.
00:22:41.10\00:22:45.73
And I don't know about you,
but as the old folks used to
00:22:45.73\00:22:50.73
sing, I'm glad he touched me.
00:22:50.73\00:22:53.03
He touched me and, oh,
the joy that flushed my soul.
00:22:53.03\00:22:57.26
Something happened and
now I know he touched me,
00:22:57.26\00:23:02.23
and he made me whole.
00:23:02.23\00:23:03.23
Today it's your turn.
00:23:03.23\00:23:05.40
I said, it's your turn.
00:23:05.40\00:23:06.80
For somebody, it's your year.
00:23:06.80\00:23:09.70
Understand, you've
sacrificed long enough.
00:23:09.70\00:23:12.63
People have written
you off long enough.
00:23:12.63\00:23:15.06
But it's your turn.
00:23:15.06\00:23:16.40
God is getting ready in 2013
to do something in your life.
00:23:16.40\00:23:21.16
Go on and praise him now.
00:23:21.16\00:23:22.90
Go on and give him glory now.
00:23:22.90\00:23:24.76
It's your turn.
00:23:24.76\00:23:25.96
The next time you see
me, my head won't be down.
00:23:25.96\00:23:29.90
The next time you're walking
down the street, you won't
00:23:29.90\00:23:32.36
be walking with a limp.
00:23:32.36\00:23:34.23
I don't mean to be
selfish, but it's my time.
00:23:34.23\00:23:37.06
Don't mean to be
stuck up, but it's my time.
00:23:37.06\00:23:40.20
I've shouted for everybody
else, but it's my time.
00:23:40.20\00:23:43.76
I've cheered for everybody
else, but it's my time.
00:23:43.76\00:23:48.26
I've been thankful
for everybody else,
00:23:48.26\00:23:49.96
but it's my time.
00:23:49.96\00:23:54.30
They that wait upon the Lord,
God shall renew their strength,
00:23:54.30\00:24:00.83
they shall ride on the
wings of eagles, run and not get
00:24:00.83\00:24:04.13
weary, walk and not faint.
00:24:04.13\00:24:06.03
Wait on the Lord.
00:24:06.03\00:24:08.23
Be of good courage and he
shall strengthen thine heart.
00:24:08.23\00:24:13.40
Trust in the Lord with all thy
heart and lean not unto thine
00:24:13.40\00:24:18.96
own understanding, in all
thy ways acknowledge him and
00:24:18.96\00:24:24.93
he shall direct thy path.
00:24:24.93\00:24:27.43
The Lord is my
life, my salvation.
00:24:27.43\00:24:31.16
Whom shall I fear?
00:24:31.16\00:24:32.76
The Lord is the
strength of my life.
00:24:32.76\00:24:35.53
Of whom shall I be afraid?
00:24:35.53\00:24:37.40
The Lord is my
refuge and strength.
00:24:37.40\00:24:39.93
A very present
help if I am in trouble.
00:24:39.93\00:24:42.46
The Lord's my rock.
00:24:42.46\00:24:44.23
In him I hide, a
shelter in the time of storm.
00:24:44.23\00:24:48.46
The Lord is my shepherd.
00:24:48.46\00:24:50.56
I shall not want.
00:24:50.56\00:24:52.36
He maketh me to lie
down in green pastures.
00:24:52.36\00:24:55.43
He leadeth me
beside still waters.
00:24:55.43\00:24:57.80
He restoreth my soul.
00:24:57.80\00:25:00.16
It's my turn.
00:25:00.16\00:25:01.96
It's my time.
00:25:01.96\00:25:08.66
I was telling
someone the other day
00:25:08.66\00:25:13.16
about the
building of the academy.
00:25:13.16\00:25:14.83
Somebody say, Pastor,
why is it taking so long?
00:25:14.83\00:25:16.43
I tell them, I said, no matter
how long we plan, no matter
00:25:16.43\00:25:26.00
how long we work, when it's
your time on God's calendar,
00:25:26.00\00:25:35.56
it's your time.
00:25:35.56\00:25:37.60
And no demon in hell can
stop it when God bestows favor.
00:25:37.60\00:25:46.40
And let me tell you
something, favor is not fair.
00:25:46.40\00:25:49.70
I can't explain favor, but
when God gives you favor and God
00:25:49.70\00:25:53.60
determines it's your
time, despite your experience,
00:25:53.60\00:26:01.03
despite your background,
despite what's going on, when
00:26:01.03\00:26:04.63
God determines it's your time,
regardless of people, heaven
00:26:04.63\00:26:09.53
will open up for you,
what no man on earth can shut.
00:26:09.53\00:26:16.13
>: It's an age-old question,
what happens after we die?
00:26:16.13\00:26:19.76
