MUST DEPEND ON PUBLIC WELFARE;
00:00:02.30\00:00:04.36
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A NUMBER.
00:00:04.36\00:00:06.10
WHEN YOU RUN INTO A PROBLEM IN
00:00:06.10\00:00:07.83
THE COURTHOUSE YOU'VE GOT TO
00:00:07.83\00:00:09.10
COME IN WITH A CASE NUMBER.
00:00:09.10\00:00:10.93
IN FACT, EVEN WHEN YOU DIE,
00:00:10.93\00:00:12.40
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE
A GRAVE PLOT NUMBER.
00:00:12.40\00:00:16.66
NUMBERS; BUT IN THE SIGHT OF
00:00:16.66\00:00:18.93
JESUS, I AM NOT A NUMBER.
00:00:18.93\00:00:24.63
I'M SOMEBODY.
00:00:24.63\00:00:26.00
?  PRAISE THE LORD,
LET'S JUST PRAISE THE LORD. ?

THIS IS THE BREATH OF LIFE

00:00:31.70\00:00:35.96
WHEN GOD GETS
READY HE CAN DELIVER YOU,
00:00:35.96\00:00:38.56
IF YOU CALL ON HIM,
IF YOU TRUST IN HIM.
00:00:38.56\00:00:41.56
?  HE'S WORTHY OF OUR
PRAISE, JESUS IS WORTHY ?
00:00:41.56\00:00:49.30
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOWN FLAT
ON YOUR FACE, BUT THE POWER OF
GOD WILL LIFT YOU UP.
00:00:49.30\00:00:53.93
?  WORTHY OF
ALL, ALL THE PRAISE. ?
00:00:53.93\00:00:59.23
TONIGHT WE GO TO
THE BIBLE ONCE AGAIN
00:00:59.23\00:01:01.70
TO FIND THE POWERFUL JESUS.
00:01:01.70\00:01:05.06
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
00:01:05.06\00:01:06.46
BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I THINK
00:01:06.46\00:01:08.33
ABOUT HOW POWERFUL JESUS IS,
I LOSE MY FEAR FOR ANY PROBLEM
00:01:08.33\00:01:14.96
THAT FACES ME. THAT'S
THE CONSOLATION THAT WE HAVE.
00:01:14.96\00:01:18.80
BEFORE WE GO TO THE WORD OF GOD
TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO BOW OUR
HEADS ONCE AGAIN AS WE PRAY.
00:01:18.80\00:01:24.46
FATHER IN HEAVEN, WE OPEN
THY WORD TONIGHT UNDERSTANDING
00:01:24.46\00:01:27.76
THAT ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT
IS ABLE TO INTERPRET THE WORD.
00:01:27.76\00:01:33.16
THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS BEEN
SENT TO GUIDE US INTO ALL TRUTH.
00:01:33.16\00:01:37.50
NOW TONIGHT,
FATHER, AS WE OPEN THY WORD,
00:01:37.50\00:01:40.50
SOMEHOW HIDE THE SPEAKER
SO THAT JESUS CAN BE SEEN.
00:01:40.50\00:01:45.83
LET MY WORDS EVAPORATE SO
THAT THE WORD OF GOD CAN BE MADE
00:01:45.83\00:01:50.56
PLAIN. LET MY
PRESENCE MEAN NOTHING,
00:01:50.56\00:01:53.30
SO THAT GOD'S
PRESENCE CAN MEAN EVERYTHING.
00:01:53.30\00:01:56.36
AND WE SHALL GIVE THANKS, AND
PRAISE, AND HONOR TO THY NAME,
00:01:56.36\00:02:00.73
FOR IT IS IN THE SWEET AND
HOLY NAME OF JESUS THAT WE PRAY,
00:02:00.73\00:02:04.20
LET EVERYONE SAY, AMEN.
00:02:04.20\00:02:07.43
TONIGHT I WOULD ASK YOU TO TURN
WITH ME TO THE EIGHTH CHAPTER OF
00:02:07.43\00:02:12.43
THE BOOK OF LUKE AND THERE YOU
WILL FIND THE STORY THAT SOME
PEOPLE PERHAPS READ WITHOUT
00:02:12.43\00:02:21.13
SEEING THE POWER. BUT, I BELIEVE
IT'S THERE, AND I PRAY BY GOD'S
00:02:21.13\00:02:24.76
GRACE THAT YOU WILL AGREE WITH
ME BEFORE THE NEXT FEW MINUTES
00:02:24.76\00:02:30.03
TRANSPIRE. IF I START IN VERSE
43 OF LUKE CHAPTER 8, I READ
00:02:30.03\00:02:34.40
THIS: I'VE ENTITLED OUR
STUDY FOR THIS EVENING, FOR THIS
00:03:19.56\00:03:24.43
OCCASION, "A
WOMAN NAMED SOMEBODY".
00:03:24.43\00:03:28.60
THE FACT IS THAT YOU CAN READ IN
THE BIBLE AND YOU WILL NOT FIND
00:03:28.60\00:03:36.43
THE WOMAN'S NAME. SHE
IS KNOWN BY HER PROBLEM,
00:03:36.43\00:03:39.86
SHE IS KNOWN BY HER SITUATION,
00:03:39.86\00:03:42.90
BUT THE BIBLE DOESN'T TAKE
THE TIME TO MENTION HER NAME.
00:03:42.90\00:03:46.03
IN FACT, SHE IS
PRACTICALLY ANONYMOUS
00:03:46.03\00:03:50.46
EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THE
BIBLE TALKS ABOUT HER PROBLEM.
00:03:50.46\00:03:55.23
SHE IS KNOWN, IF YOU PLEASE, NOT
BY HER NAME, BUT BY HER PROBLEM.
00:03:55.23\00:04:03.26
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HER ILLNESS
WAS ONE THAT ROBBED HER OF ALL
00:04:03.26\00:04:12.26
OF HER MONEY. NOW
FOLK, LET'S GET REAL HERE.
00:04:12.26\00:04:15.56
NOATTER WHAT YOUR PRLEM
IS, IF IT MAKES YOU POOR,
00:04:15.56\00:04:19.53
NOW YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER PROBLEM.
00:04:19.53\00:04:22.06
THERE ARE MANY BIBLE SCHOLARS
WHO HAVE GONE TO LOOK AT THIS
00:04:22.06\00:04:27.33
AND HAVE COME AWAY SAYING THAT
THE WOMAN MAY HAVE HAD THIS OR
00:04:27.33\00:04:32.40
THE OTHER MALADY. THE FACT IS
THAT HER PROBLEM WAS A SENSITIVE
00:04:32.40\00:04:36.96
ONE, PERHAPS ONE THAT
WAS CONNECTED WITH HER GENDER
00:04:36.96\00:04:41.43
AND PERHAPS ONE SHE DIDN'T
WANT TO DISCUSS WITH EVERYBODY.
00:04:41.43\00:04:45.20
I WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO
SAY THAT WHEN YOUR PROBLEM IS
00:04:45.20\00:04:51.66
SENSITIVE, JESUS IS SENSITIVE
ENOUGH NOT TO BROADCAST IT
00:04:51.66\00:04:59.23
EVERYWHERE. IN FACT, WHEN YOU
LOOK AT THE SITUATION, AS WE
WILL DO VERY CLOSELY,
00:04:59.23\00:05:04.63
YOU WILL DISCOVER THAT THIS
WOMAN WAS NOT GIVEN THE
IMPRESSION THAT SHE OUGHT TO
00:05:04.63\00:05:08.73
GO EVERYWHERE TELLING
EVERYBODY WHAT HER PROBLEM WAS.
00:05:08.73\00:05:11.96
SOMETIMES THE PROBLEMS THAT WE
HAVE ARE NOT ONES THAT WE WANT
00:05:11.96\00:05:17.30
TO SHARE, THEY
ARE PRIVATE PROBLEMS.
00:05:17.30\00:05:20.83
AND IF I THOUGHT THAT GOD WAS
INCLINED TO PUT MY BUSINESS IN
00:05:20.83\00:05:28.13
THE STREET, THEN I'D BE
CAREFUL HOW I DEALT WITH GOD.
00:05:28.13\00:05:31.26
BUT I'M SO GLAD TONIGHT
THAT I CAN TELL JESUS ALL OF MY
00:05:31.26\00:05:35.80
PROBLEMS. AND WHILE HE IS
SENSITIVE TO HELP ME, HE DOES
NOT BLAST ME EVERYWHERE.
00:05:35.80\00:05:43.93
AMEN ?
00:05:43.93\00:05:45.93
NOW OF COURSE, THERE ARE FRIENDS
WHO WILL LET YOU DOWN IN THAT
00:05:45.93\00:05:49.96
CATEGORY. I AM CAREFUL TO SAY
THAT SOME PEOPLE WILL TALK ABOUT
00:05:49.96\00:05:54.23
YOU NOW ON A TELEPHONE THAT CAN
HANDLE TWO PEOPLE AT ONE TIME.
00:05:54.23\00:05:59.23
AMEN ?
00:05:59.23\00:06:00.80
YOU GOTTA BE CAREFUL NOW.
00:06:00.80\00:06:02.56
FOLKS SAY, "I GOTTA
ANOTHER CALL COMING THROUGH."
00:06:02.56\00:06:05.33
THEY MAY BE SHARING THE VERY
BUSINESS THAT YOU'RE TELLING
00:06:05.33\00:06:09.06
THEM WITH SOMEBODY WHILE THEY'RE
TALKING TO YOU -- EXCUSE
THEMSELVES EVERY NOW AND THEN.
00:06:09.06\00:06:14.93
BUT THIS WOMAN'S PROBLEM WAS
NOT ONE THAT SHE WANTED TO SHARE
00:06:14.93\00:06:18.60
WITH EVERYBODY; NEVERTHELESS IT
WAS A PROBLEM THAT WAS BIG
ENOUGH TO TAKE ALL OF HER MONEY.
00:06:18.60\00:06:24.16
NO MATTER WHETHER SHE WAS
WEALTHY WHEN SHE STARTED OR
WHETHER SHE WAS POOR,
00:06:24.16\00:06:28.10
WHEN YOU HAVE SPENT ALL THAT YOU
HAVE ON PHYSICIANS AND HAVE NONE
00:06:28.10\00:06:33.76
LEFT, THEN YOU'VE
GOT ANOTHER PROBLEM.
00:06:33.76\00:06:35.46
SAY IF YOU WILL THAT PEOPLE
ARE TREATED THE SAME EVERYWHERE,
00:06:35.46\00:06:39.33
AND I WILL DARE
TO ARGUE WITH YOU.
00:06:39.33\00:06:41.40
FOR THE FACT IS, THAT WHEN
YOU DON'T HAVE, AS MUCH AS OTHER
00:06:41.40\00:06:45.53
PEOPLE DO, THERE ARE SOME
FOLK WHO LOOK DOWN ON YOU.
00:06:45.53\00:06:49.86
I READ IN THE BIBLE ABOUT A
YOUNG MAN THAT IS CALLED THE
00:06:49.86\00:06:56.53
PRODIGAL SON. THE BIBLE SAYS
THAT WHEN HE HAD SPENT ALL OF
00:06:56.53\00:07:00.66
HIS SUBSTANCE, THEN
HIS FRIENDS DESERTED HIM.
00:07:00.66\00:07:03.20
AS LONG AS HE HAD
MONEY, HE HAD FRIENDS.
00:07:03.20\00:07:05.93
NOW SOME OF YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT THAT'S STILL TRUE,
00:07:05.93\00:07:09.40
THAT IF PEOPLE EVEN
THINK YOU HAVE MONEY.
00:07:09.40\00:07:12.86
I'VE FOUND OUT THAT IF YOU ACT
LIKE YOU'VE GOT MONEY, YOU CAN
00:07:12.86\00:07:18.40
GET SOME FRIENDS. THIS WOMAN
COULD NOT PUT ON THE PRETENSE
ANYMORE, SO LET'S BE CAREFUL.
00:07:18.40\00:07:23.60
THE FIRST PROBLEM THAT
SHE HAS IS A PHYSICAL PROBLEM.
00:07:23.60\00:07:27.23
THIS PROBLEM IS AN UNNATURAL
LOSS OF BLOOD THAT HAS GONE ON
00:07:27.23\00:07:33.30
FOR TWELVE YEARS. IT'S TOO LONG
A TIME TO HAVE A PROBLEM LIKE
00:07:33.30\00:07:36.43
THAT. THERE IS NO REASON TO
THINK THAT SHE WAS NOT WEAKENED
00:07:36.43\00:07:41.06
BY THIS SITUATION. THERE IS NO
REASON TO THINK THAT SHE WAS NOT
TOUCHED IN EVERY PART OF HER
00:07:41.06\00:07:46.26
LIFE BY IT. BUT BECAUSE SHE HAD
GONE FROM ONE DOCTOR TO ANOTHER,
00:07:46.26\00:07:49.70
FROM ONE HEALER TO ANOTHER,
00:07:49.70\00:07:51.63
AFTER SHE RAN OUT OF THE
OFFICIAL DOCTOR'S OFFICES,
00:07:51.63\00:07:55.26
WE PROBABLY OUGHT TO IMAGINE
THAT SHE WENT TO SOME WHO WERE
LESS WELL THOUGHT OF.
00:07:55.26\00:08:00.96
BUT SHE GRASPED FOR A
STRAW BECAUSE HER PROBLEM WAS
00:08:00.96\00:08:04.53
CAUSING HER TO LOSE
VIRTUE IN EVERY SITUATION.
00:08:04.53\00:08:08.96
BUT NOW THE MONEY IS GONE,
AND WHEN YOUR MONEY IS GONE,
00:08:08.96\00:08:12.83
YOU ARE LOOKED UPON DIFFERENTLY.
00:08:12.83\00:08:14.46
IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT, I
DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE.
00:08:14.46\00:08:19.03
I TALK OFTEN ABOUT A DAY WHEN I
WAS DOWNTOWN IN THIS VERY CITY,
00:08:19.03\00:08:24.50
FOUND MYSELF DOWNTOWN WAITING
FOR MY WIFE WITH NO MONEY.
00:08:24.50\00:08:29.70
IT'S AMAZING THE THINGS YOU
CAN'T DO WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ANY
00:08:29.70\00:08:35.70
MONEY. FIRST THING YOU
CAN'T DO IS PARK YOU CAR.
00:08:35.70\00:08:40.43
SO I DROVE AROUND
AND AROUND AND AROUND,
00:08:40.43\00:08:42.76
PRAYING THAT SOMEBODY WOULD COME
OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND LEAVE
SOME TIME ON THE METER.
00:08:42.76\00:08:50.93
THAT'S AN
INCONVENIENCE ISN'T IT ?
00:08:50.93\00:08:53.03
THEN WHEN I FINALLY FOUND IT,
TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO DO THAT,
WHEN I FINALLY FOUND IT
00:08:53.03\00:08:56.86
I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, WENT INTO
A SHOP AND AFTER YOU'VE WALKED
00:08:56.86\00:09:00.23
AROUND A COUPLE OF
TIMES IN ONE OF THESE STORES,
00:09:00.23\00:09:03.23
SOMEBODY COME UP TO YOU
AND SAY WITH A LITTLE URGENCY,
00:09:03.23\00:09:06.53
"MAY I HELP YOU ?"
00:09:06.53\00:09:09.40
WHAT THEY WANT TO KNOW IS
ARE YOU JUST TAKING UP SPACE
00:09:09.40\00:09:11.70
OR DID YOU COME
HERE TO BUY SOMETHING ?
00:09:11.70\00:09:14.33
IT IS AN INCONVENIENCE
TO BE WITHOUT MONEY.
00:09:14.33\00:09:16.80
THERE ARE PLACES YOU CAN'T GO,
00:09:16.80\00:09:18.13
THERE ARE THINGS
THAT YOU CANNOT DO,
00:09:18.13\00:09:19.73
THERE ARE PLACES YOU CAN'T LIVE,
00:09:19.73\00:09:21.26
THERE ARE THINGS
THAT YOU CAN'T WEAR,
00:09:21.26\00:09:22.70
THERE ARE CARS
THAT YOU CANNOT DRIVE.
00:09:22.70\00:09:24.63
YOU ARE LIMITED BY IT.
00:09:24.63\00:09:26.06
AND DON'T THINK THAT
BECAUSE THIS WAS LONG AGO,
00:09:26.06\00:09:28.56
THIS WOMAN'S LIFE WAS NOT
CHANGED BECAUSE HER MONEY WAS
00:09:28.56\00:09:33.10
GONE. BUT IT
GETS DEEPER THAN THAT.
00:09:33.10\00:09:35.93
THE WOMAN WAS NOT ONLY
CONSIDERED LESS THAN SHE WAS
00:09:35.93\00:09:41.30
BEFORE, BECAUSE HER MONEY WAS
GONE, BUT IN THOSE DAYS THERE
WERE LAWS CALLED CEREMONIAL
00:09:41.30\00:09:49.63
LAWS, ONE OF WHICH SAID THAT
IF YOU HAVE AN ABNORMAL LOSS OF
00:09:49.63\00:09:55.20
BLOOD, THAT YOU
ARE CONSIDERED UNCLEAN,
00:09:55.20\00:09:58.46
NOT ONLY FOR THE DURATION OF THE
TIME THAT YOU HAVE THE MALADY,
00:09:58.46\00:10:01.36
BUT FOR SEVEN DAYS THEREAFTER,
00:10:01.36\00:10:03.83
AND THEREFORE YOU ARE
EXCLUDED FROM PUBLIC WORSHIP.
00:10:03.83\00:10:08.26
NOW FOLKS, IF YOU'VE GOT
A PROBLEM, HOW MANY KNOW THE
00:10:08.26\00:10:10.20
PLACE YOU NEED TO
BE IS IN GOD'S HOUSE.
00:10:10.20\00:10:14.90
THERE IS JOY IN THE HOUSE OF
GOD EVEN IF YOU'RE FLAT BROKE.
00:10:14.90\00:10:19.66
THE FACT IS THAT MAN
LOOKS ON THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE,
00:10:19.66\00:10:22.63
BUT GOD LOOKS ON THE HEART.
00:10:22.63\00:10:25.56
YOU MAY GO DOWN TO YOUR LOCAL
BANK AND THEY MAY LOOK DOWN ON
00:10:25.56\00:10:29.73
YOU, BUT GOD DOES NOT JUDGE US
BY THE CREDIT CARDS THAT FALL
OUT OF OUR WALLETS.
00:10:29.73\00:10:35.10
AMEN ?
00:10:35.10\00:10:36.90
HE DOES NOT JUDGE US BY
THE MONEY WE HAVE IN SAVINGS
00:10:36.90\00:10:39.90
ACCOUNTS. GOD DOES NOT JUDGE
US BY THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE
00:10:39.90\00:10:43.36
AMASSED, HE
LOOKS AT ANOTHER LEVEL.
00:10:43.36\00:10:46.20
SO FOR GOD'S SAKE, IF
YOU RUN INTO A PROBLEM,
00:10:46.20\00:10:49.66
YOU WANT TO BE ABLE
TO GO IN GOD'S HOUSE,
00:10:49.66\00:10:51.76
BUT BECAUSE OF THESE RULES,
THESE LAWS SHE'S LOOKED DOWN ON
00:10:51.76\00:10:58.23
BY SOME PEOPLE BECAUSE SHE HAS
NO MONEY, AND NOW SHE CAN'T GO
00:10:58.23\00:11:01.80
TO CHURCH. BUT IT WAS A
LITTLE MORE ACUTE THAN THAT,
00:11:01.80\00:11:05.66
BECAUSE THIS UNCLEANNESS WAS
CONSIDERED TO BE INFECTIOUS IN
00:11:05.66\00:11:12.43
NATURE, IT WAS CONTAGIOUS, SO
THAT IF I WERE SEEN WITH SOMEONE
00:11:12.43\00:11:20.16
WITH THIS PROBLEM, I THEN
WOULD BECOME UNCLEAN ALSO.
00:11:20.16\00:11:24.13
NOW I KNOW SOME FOLK WHO
WILL TREAT YOU LIKE THAT NOW.
00:11:24.13\00:11:30.26
WE DON'T HAVE THOSE
KINDS OF RULES ANYMORE,
00:11:30.26\00:11:33.16
BUT IT'S AMAZING, SOME FOLK,
AS LONG AS EVERYONE IS SAYING,
00:11:33.16\00:11:36.16
"PRAISE GOD FOR YOU"
THEY'LL BE YOUR FRIEND.
00:11:36.16\00:11:38.90
BUT THEN WHEN EVERYBODY TURNS
ON YOU, THERE ARE SOME FOLK
00:11:38.90\00:11:41.86
WHO WILL GO ACROSS THE
STREET AND GREET YOU THAT WAY.
00:11:41.86\00:11:46.56
THEY ALWAYS GOTTA RUN.
00:11:46.56\00:11:50.16
YOU CALL THEM UP, YOU USED TO
00:11:50.16\00:11:52.46
TALK A LONG TIME, BUT NOW THE
WORD IS OUT THAT YOU ARE NOT
WHAT THEY THOUGHT YOU WERE.
00:11:52.46\00:11:57.50
AND FRIENDS OF MINE,
LET'S BE HONEST WITH EACH OTHER,
00:11:57.50\00:12:01.03
NONE OF US TONIGHT, NONE OF US
ON THIS OCCASION CAN CLAIM
PERFECTION EXCEPT IN JESUS.
00:12:01.03\00:12:07.93
SO WE OUGHT NOT EVER GET TO THE
PLACE WHERE WE ACTUALLY LOOK
DOWN ON ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.
00:12:07.93\00:12:13.33
GOD'S CHILDREN ARE NOT TO
BE JUDGED IN THAT FASHION.
00:12:13.33\00:12:19.00
BUT THIS WOMAN NOW IS PUT IN A
SITUATION WHERE SHE CAN'T GO TO
00:12:19.00\00:12:22.70
CHURCH, BUT IF THEY
SEE HER ON THE STREET,
00:12:22.70\00:12:26.33
THEY'VE GOT TO
BE KIND OF CAREFUL.
00:12:26.33\00:12:28.20
"HOW YA' DOING ?"
00:12:28.20\00:12:30.40
"GOOD TO SEE YA !"
00:12:30.40\00:12:32.46
THEN THEY'VE GOT TO MOVE ON.
00:12:32.46\00:12:34.20
NOW COUNT WITH ME IF YOU WILL,
00:12:34.20\00:12:38.50
THE WOMAN HAS THE ILLNESS THAT
WAS LIKE A PEBBLE DROPPED IN THE
00:12:38.50\00:12:43.56
WATER OF HER LIFE, AND
ITS RIPPLES BEGAN TO SPREAD.
00:12:43.56\00:12:46.73
BECAUSE OF THE ILLNESS THAT HAS
TAKEN SOME OF HER STRENGTH AND
VITALITY, NOW SHE'S POOR.
00:12:46.73\00:12:53.26
SHE'S POOR, AND NOW
SHE'S EXCLUDED FROM WORSHIP.
00:12:53.26\00:12:57.20
SHE'S EXCLUDED FROM
WORSHIP, BUT MORE THAN THAT,
00:12:57.20\00:12:59.43
HER CIRCLE OF
FRIENDS BEGINS TO DWINDLE
00:12:59.43\00:13:02.53
BECAUSE IF YOU GET CLOSE
TO HER, YOU BECOME UNCLEAN.
00:13:02.53\00:13:06.23
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I
THINK THIS LADY'S GOT A PROBLEM.
00:13:06.23\00:13:08.93
AND THE QUESTION IS, WHAT DO
YOU DO WHEN YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM
00:13:08.93\00:13:13.16
THAT NOBODY SEEMS
TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE ?
00:13:13.16\00:13:16.50
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU
CAN'T GO TO THE SOURCE ?
00:13:16.50\00:13:20.70
WHEN YOU CAN'T GO
TO THE HOUSE OF GOD ?
00:13:20.70\00:13:22.86
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE PEOPLE
WHO OUGHT TO BE ON YOUR SIDE
00:13:22.86\00:13:27.63
TURN AGAINST YOU ? WHAT DO YOU
DO WHEN THE DOCTORS AT THE
SIXTEENTH HOLE OF THE GOLF
00:13:27.63\00:13:33.50
COURSE HAVE GOTTEN
TOGETHER AND DISCUSSED YOUR CASE
00:13:33.50\00:13:35.83
AND HAVE DETERMINED THAT EITHER
YOU HAVE SOME PSYCHOSOMATIC
00:13:35.83\00:13:39.56
ILLNESS OR IT'S GENETIC IN
NATURE AND THEY DON'T WANT YOU
TO VISIT THEIR OFFICES ANYMORE.
00:13:39.56\00:13:44.10
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU CANNOT
GO TO YOUR FRIENDS WHO ARE LONG
FRIENDS, LONG STANDING FRIENDS ?
00:13:44.10\00:13:50.46
WHAT DO YOU DO
WHEN YOU SEEM FORSAKEN ?
00:13:50.46\00:13:52.63
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE MEDICAL
ESTABLISHMENTS TREAT YOU LIKE
00:13:52.63\00:13:57.16
NOBODY ? WHEN THE
CHURCH TREATS YOU LIKE NOBODY ?
00:13:57.16\00:13:59.30
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR FRIENDS
TREAT YOU LIKE YOU DON'T EXIST ?
00:13:59.30\00:14:02.80
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU
ARE FORSAKEN BY EVERYBODY ?
00:14:02.80\00:14:07.36
MY ANSWER IS SIMPLE;
00:14:07.36\00:14:09.30
YOU GO TO SOMEBODY
WHO'S GOT THE POWER.
00:14:09.30\00:14:16.43
AND I SUGGEST TO YOU TONIGHT
THAT JESUS HAS GOT THE POWER.
00:14:16.43\00:14:21.56
JESUS CAN HANDLE
MY CENTRAL PROBLEM.
00:14:21.56\00:14:24.60
JESUS CAN HANDLE MY CENTRAL
PROBLEM SO THAT ALL THE OTHER
00:14:24.60\00:14:28.93
PROBLEMS THAT HAVE COME RINGING
AWAY FROM IT ARE TAKEN CARE OF
00:14:28.93\00:14:32.90
TOO. HE'S GOT THE POWER,
THAT'S WHY I PREACH JESUS.
00:14:32.90\00:14:37.40
I PREACH HIM
BECAUSE HE'S GOT POWER.
00:14:37.40\00:14:39.30
I'VE READ SOME
THEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS THAT SAY
00:14:39.30\00:14:45.50
THAT IT IS SOME EUROPEAN
CONSTRUCT THAT GIVES US THIS
00:14:45.50\00:14:52.63
STRANGE NEW JESUS. THIS JESUS
WHO IS AN INFLUENCE MEANDERING
THROUGH THE MIST OF NOWHERE.
00:14:52.63\00:14:59.40
THIS WANDERING JESUS,
THIS INFLUENCE THAT IS NOT A
00:14:59.40\00:15:05.03
PERSONALITY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND
THAT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE KIND
00:15:05.03\00:15:08.93
OF JESUS WHO I'VE MET
ON THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE.
00:15:08.93\00:15:12.26
I HAVE MET ME A
JESUS WITH POWER.
00:15:12.26\00:15:15.10
IN FACT, IF I READ
ISAIAH 53 CORRECTLY,
00:15:15.10\00:15:18.63
I LEARNED THAT JESUS DID NOT
COME WITH ANY FORM OR COMELINESS
THAT WE MIGHT DESIRE HIM,
00:15:18.63\00:15:24.46
I BELIEVE THAT GOD COULD
HAVE SENT JESUS HERE SO HANDSOME
00:15:24.46\00:15:27.60
THAT EVERY WOMAN WOULD
HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH HIM
00:15:27.60\00:15:30.10
AND SO MUSCULAR THAT
EVERY MAN WOULD HAVE ADORED HIM.
00:15:30.10\00:15:33.36
BUT GOD CHOSE NOT TO MAKE IT SO.
00:15:33.36\00:15:35.76
HE CHOSE TO MAKE IT SO THAT HIS
POWER WAS NOT THE POWER OF THE
00:15:35.76\00:15:41.03
LOOK OF HIS FACE OR THE POWER
OF THE RIPPLE OF HIS MUSCLES,
00:15:41.03\00:15:43.33
IT WAS A POWER THAT
WAS GREATER THAN THAT;
00:15:43.33\00:15:47.86
A POWER THAT
EMANATED FROM HIS SOUL,
00:15:47.86\00:15:50.63
A POWER THAT
SHONE THROUGH HIS EYES,
00:15:50.63\00:15:53.50
A POWER THAT WAS BASED ON
SOMETHING, NOT JUST A FEELING.
00:15:53.50\00:15:57.66
BUT BASED ON THE FACT THAT JESUS
WAS INDEED THE SON OF GOD IN
00:15:57.66\00:16:04.83
HUMAN FLESH. THAT HE CAME TO
THIS EARTH TO LIGHT UP OUR LIVES
AGAIN WHEN SIN HAD TURNED THE
00:16:04.83\00:16:11.13
LIGHTS OFF. ISAIAH 59 SAYS
THAT WHEN YOU'VE HAD A PROBLEM,
00:16:11.13\00:16:14.56
YOUR SIN SEPARATED
BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR GOD,
00:16:14.56\00:16:17.43
BUT GOD'S HAND IS NOT
SHORTENED THAT IT CANNOT REACH,
00:16:17.43\00:16:20.70
AND HIS EAR IS NOT
HEAVY THAT HE CANNOT HEAR.
00:16:20.70\00:16:23.56
GOD WILL NOT BE
DISCONNECTED FROM US,
00:16:23.56\00:16:26.40
AND SO IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME
HE SENT JESUS TO BRING US BACK
00:16:26.40\00:16:32.20
TO HIM. AND JESUS BECAUSE HE
IS GOD AND MAN AT THE SAME TIME,
00:16:32.20\00:16:35.93
TOOK HOLD OF GOD
WITH HIS DIVINITY,
00:16:35.93\00:16:38.06
TOOK HOLD OF MAN WITH HIS
HUMANITY, AND PULLED US TOGETHER
00:16:38.06\00:16:42.06
IN HIM. SO TONIGHT I
BRING YOU A POWERFUL JESUS.
00:16:42.06\00:16:49.03
WELL, IF HE'S THAT POWERFUL, WHY
THEN IS THIS WOMAN STILL SICK ?
00:16:49.03\00:16:54.86
WELL, IN A MINUTE YOU'RE ABOUT
TO FIND OUT THAT SHE ISN'T GOING
00:16:54.86\00:17:01.00
TO BE SICK LONG. SHE SAID, "I'VE
RUN OUT OF MONEY, I'VE RUN OUT
00:17:01.00\00:17:05.30
OF FRIENDS, I'M DOWN NOW TO THE
PLACE NOW WHERE THE DOCTORS
DON'T WANT TO SEE ME,
00:17:05.30\00:17:07.90
MY BILLS HAVE NOT BEEN PAID."
00:17:07.90\00:17:10.23
I DON'T WHETHER THERE
WAS INSURANCE IN THOSE DAYS,
00:17:10.23\00:17:12.26
I DOUBT IT SERIOUSLY.
00:17:12.26\00:17:14.03
YOU RAN OUT OF
MONEY THEN, THAT WAS IT.
00:17:14.03\00:17:16.83
"SO NOW, WHERE DO I GO ?"
00:17:16.83\00:17:18.13
THIS WOMAN PROPOSES IN HER MIND.
00:17:18.13\00:17:21.26
SHE SAYS, "I DON'T WANT TO
DISCUSS MY PROBLEM EVERYWHERE.
00:17:21.26\00:17:25.83
I DON'T WANT TO LET MY
BUSINESS OUT IN THE STREET.
00:17:25.83\00:17:30.80
IN FACT, WHAT I WANT TO DO
IS JUST FIND JESUS SOMEWHERE,
00:17:30.80\00:17:35.76
AND IF I COULD JUST TOUCH HIM.
00:17:35.76\00:17:41.10
I DON'T HAVE TO
HAVE A TALK WITH HIM;
00:17:41.10\00:17:45.20
I DON'T HAVE TO HAVE SOME
GRAND DIALOGUE WITH JESUS."
00:17:45.20\00:17:49.43
YOU KNOW, SOME OF US LOVE THE
LORD, BUT WE WILL ONLY COME IF
WE CAN COME OUR OWN WAY.
00:17:49.43\00:17:56.23
WE'VE GOT TO HAVE SOME
GRAND OCCASION TO COME TO JESUS.
00:17:56.23\00:17:59.96
LET ME TELL YOU WHEN YOU'RE
SITUATION GETS BAD ENOUGH,
00:17:59.96\00:18:02.43
YOU DON'T NEED AN OCCASION.
00:18:02.43\00:18:04.83
YOU CAN SLIP TO JESUS.
00:18:04.83\00:18:07.46
THIS WOMAN SAID, "IF I
COULD JUST PUT MY HAND ON HIS
00:18:07.46\00:18:12.86
CLOTHING" I BELIEVE THAT I MIGHT
BE ABLE TO GET ME A BLESSING
WITHOUT HIM EVEN RECOGNIZING IT
00:18:12.86\00:18:20.70
WAS GONE. FOR I BELIEVE THAT HE
IS NOT AN ORDINARY MAN, I
BELIEVE THAT THERE IS POWER IN
00:18:20.70\00:18:27.23
THIS JESUS. I BELIEVE THAT
HE HAS NOT COME, REPRESENTING
00:18:27.23\00:18:29.96
HIMSELF, BUT THERE'S POWER FROM
GOD IN HIM, AND IF I COULD JUST
00:18:29.96\00:18:33.33
TOUCH HIM, JUST TOUCH HIM, IF
I COULD JUST TOUCH HIS CLOTHES."
00:18:33.33\00:18:37.86
SO NOW THIS LITTLE WEAK WOMAN,
SHE CANNOT BE TOO LARGE IN FRAME
00:18:37.86\00:18:44.86
NOW, SHE MUST HAVE WASTED
AWAY DURING THESE TWELVE YEARS,
00:18:44.86\00:18:48.40
BUT WITH HER LITTLE FRAIL FRAME,
00:18:48.40\00:18:51.16
SHE STARTS TO FIND
WHERE'S JESUS BEEN.
00:18:51.16\00:18:55.46
AND WHEN SHE DISCOVERS THAT HE'S
BEEN SOMEWHERE THAT'S NOT TOO
00:18:55.46\00:19:00.13
FAR AWAY, SHE FOLLOWS HIS TRAIL
UNTIL SHE FINALLY GETS TO A
00:19:00.13\00:19:04.63
PLACE -- ONE OF MY FAVORITE
WRITERS SAYS THAT THIS WOMAN DID
00:19:04.63\00:19:07.93
NOT HAVE ENOUGH STRENGTH TO PLAN
HER WAY TO JESUS, SHE PROBABLY
00:19:07.93\00:19:11.90
COULD NOT EVEN DO LIKE ZACCHAEUS
AND GO UP INTO A SYCAMORE TREE.
00:19:11.90\00:19:15.83
ALL SHE COULD DO WAS JUST
FOLLOW WITH HOPE IN HER HEART.
00:19:15.83\00:19:19.70
BUT THE WRITER SAYS THAT JESUS
WAS MOVING ONE WAY AND SOMEHOW
00:19:19.70\00:19:23.33
HE TURNED AND
STARTED COMING BACK HER WAY.
00:19:23.33\00:19:26.36
(applause)
00:19:26.36\00:19:30.23
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I
RECOGNIZE THAT IN MY LIFE IT WAS
00:19:30.23\00:19:33.03
NOT ME WHO FOUND JESUS,
IT WAS JESUS WHO FOUND ME.
00:19:33.03\00:19:39.33
IF I HAD HAD TO FIND HIM, I
DON'T KNOW WHERE I'D BE TONIGHT.
00:19:39.33\00:19:43.50
BUT THE FACT IS THAT
JESUS LOOKED DOWN INTO MY EXCUSE
00:19:43.50\00:19:46.76
FOR A LIFE AND KNEW THAT
HE COULD MAKE SOMETHING OF ME.
00:19:46.76\00:19:50.70
IT WAS NOT ME WHO PURSUED HIM;
00:19:50.70\00:19:53.16
IT WAS JESUS WHO PURSUED ME.
00:19:53.16\00:19:56.96
AND NOW THIS WOMAN FINDS
HERSELF IN A STRANGE SITUATION,
00:19:56.96\00:20:01.30
BECAUSE THE VERY THING THAT
SHE'S HOPED FOR IS NOW COMING TO
00:20:01.30\00:20:05.56
PASS. AND AS
JESUS BEGINS TO MOVE,
00:20:05.56\00:20:07.10
YOU KNOW HOW THE CROWDS MOVE;
00:20:07.10\00:20:08.63
SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST
AROUND TO BE IN THE CROWD.
00:20:08.63\00:20:13.10
YOU KNOW WHAT'S AMAZING TO ME ?
00:20:13.10\00:20:16.26
I BELIEVE THAT SOMEBODY
ELSE IN THAT CROWD WAS SICK.
00:20:16.26\00:20:24.20
I BELIEVE SOMEBODY
BRUSHED UP AGAINST JESUS.
00:20:24.20\00:20:27.53
I BELIEVE SOMEBODY WITH A
DISEASE THAT WAS MORE SERIOUS
00:20:27.53\00:20:30.56
THAN THIS WOMAN'S PROBABLY
BRUSHED UP AGAINST JESUS.
00:20:30.56\00:20:34.46
MY QUESTION IS SIMPLE,
WHY DIDN'T THEY GET HEALED ?
00:20:34.46\00:20:38.23
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T JUST BRUSH;
00:20:38.23\00:20:40.93
IT CAN'T JUST BE LIKE
SHIPS PASSING IN THE NIGHT,
00:20:40.93\00:20:45.16
THERE HAS TO BE SOME
INTENTIONALITY IN YOUR TOUCH.
00:20:45.16\00:20:49.06
WITHOUT FAITH, THE BIBLE SAYS,
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM.
00:20:49.06\00:20:54.20
YOU'VE GOTTA HAVE FAITH.
00:20:54.20\00:20:56.13
AND SO THIS WOMAN GATHERS UP ALL
OF THE FAITH THAT'S IN HER LIFE,
00:20:56.13\00:21:01.60
AND WHEN SHE SEES HIM COMING, I
DON'T KNOW IF SHE HAD ENOUGH
POWER TO MAINTAIN HER SPOT.
00:21:01.60\00:21:07.20
SHE MAY NOW BE
PUSHED ALONG BY THE CROWD,
00:21:07.20\00:21:11.23
BUT SHE IS SO DETERMINED
THAT SHE'LL DO ANYTHING NOW,
00:21:11.23\00:21:14.10
AND SHE PRESSES HER WAY CLOSE
ENOUGH TO REACH DOWN TO THE HEM
00:21:14.10\00:21:20.20
OF HIS GARMENT. AND
WHEN HER HAND TOUCHES IT,
00:21:20.20\00:21:23.76
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
SHE MUST HAVE FELT,
00:21:23.76\00:21:26.26
BUT SHE KNEW
THAT SHE WAS HEALED.
00:21:26.26\00:21:30.80
SHE KNEW SHE WAS HEALED.
00:21:30.80\00:21:33.56
FORGIVE ME, BUT I'VE DONE A
LITTLE DIGGING INTO THAT MOMENT.
00:21:33.56\00:21:37.70
IT'S AN ELECTRIC MOMENT.
00:21:37.70\00:21:41.46
IF YOU WERE A PART OF
THAT SOCIETY, AS JESUS WAS,
00:21:41.46\00:21:46.30
IF YOU WERE PART OF THE
HEBREW NATION, AS JESUS WAS,
00:21:46.30\00:21:50.63
YOU WORE AT THE BORDER OF
YOUR GARMENT, A BLUE FRINGE.
00:21:50.63\00:21:58.60
I LIKE THIS KIND OF
STUFF, I GET EXCITED, EXCUSE ME.
00:21:58.60\00:22:02.76
THE BLUE FRINGE REPRESENTED YOUR
DETERMINATION TO DO WHAT GOD
00:22:02.76\00:22:09.53
COMMANDED. IT WAS AN
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT YOU WERE
00:22:09.53\00:22:13.16
NOT JUST ANYBODY, BUT THAT YOU
WERE ONE WHO HAD DECIDED THAT
YOU WOULD DO WHATEVER GOD SAID
00:22:13.16\00:22:18.23
TO DO. YOU RECOGNIZED THAT YOU
WERE PART OF A PECULIAR NATION;
00:22:18.23\00:22:21.56
YOU RECOGNIZED THAT YOU
WERE CALLED BY GOD TO DO CERTAIN
00:22:21.56\00:22:24.90
THINGS. ISN'T IT TIME MY
FRIENDS, FOR SOMEBODY IN THIS
00:22:24.90\00:22:29.63
STRANGE TIME IN WHICH WE LIVE,
TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES, NOT WITH
00:22:29.63\00:22:34.80
A BLUE BORDER, BUT SIMPLY BY
OBEYING WHATEVER GOD SAYS TO DO
00:22:34.80\00:22:38.10
? IT'S TIME FOR PEOPLE TO
START OBEYING WHAT GOD SAYS.
00:22:38.10\00:22:42.16
WELL, THIS BLUE BORDER
REPRESENTED THAT DECISION TO
00:22:42.16\00:22:47.06
OBEY. IT WAS A SYMBOL OF
FAITHFULNESS IF YOU PLEASE.
00:22:47.06\00:22:51.96
SO NOW WOULD YOU ALLOW
ME HOMILETIC PRIVILEGE ?
00:22:51.96\00:22:56.43
WOULD YOU ALLOW ME TO SUGGEST
THAT WHEN THIS WOMAN GATHERS UP
ALL OF HER FAITH IN ONE TOUCH,
00:22:56.43\00:23:03.56
AND THEN REACHES DOWN TO
THE FRINGE OF THE GARMENT,
00:23:03.56\00:23:07.70
THAT WHAT SHE PROBABLY
TOUCHED WAS THE BLUE FRINGE
00:23:07.70\00:23:11.10
THAT REPRESENTED
JESUS' FAITHFULNESS TO GOD ?
00:23:11.10\00:23:15.16
SO, HER FAITH
TOUCHED HIS FAITHFULNESS.
00:23:15.16\00:23:19.46
FAITH TOUCHING FAITH.
00:23:19.46\00:23:22.76
GOD WAS THE FATHER OF ALL;
00:23:22.76\00:23:25.03
JESUS
ACKNOWLEDGED THE POWER OF GOD.
00:23:25.03\00:23:27.73
AND THE BLUE
FRINGE AROUND HIS GARMENT
00:23:27.73\00:23:30.66
WAS TESTIMONY THAT WHILE
HE WAS GOD IN HUMAN FLESH,
00:23:30.66\00:23:34.40
HE WAS WILLING
TO DO WHAT GOD SAID.
00:23:34.40\00:23:37.03
SO NOW THIS WOMAN REACHES
OUT TO TOUCH THE BLUE FRINGE,
00:23:37.03\00:23:40.23
AND AS HER FAITH TOUCHES THAT
FAITHFULNESS, SOMETHING HAPPENS.
00:23:40.23\00:23:45.86
THERE'S AN IMMEDIATE CHANGE.
00:23:45.86\00:23:49.03
YOU TELL ME THAT'S NOT POWER.
00:23:49.03\00:23:53.83
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH SOME
OF THE THINGS THAT I SEE PEOPLE
00:23:53.83\00:23:57.23
DOING IN ORDER TO
GAIN FAVOR WITH GOD.
00:23:57.23\00:24:00.90
I SOMEHOW THINK THAT WE DON'T
NEED TO WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT
00:24:00.90\00:24:05.33
GAINING FAVOR. IN
CHRIST, WE HAVE ACCESS TO GOD.
00:24:05.33\00:24:09.20
WHAT WE OUGHT TO LEARN REALLY TO
DO IS SIMPLY TO BELIEVE ENOUGH
TO REACH OUT TO TOUCH JESUS.
00:24:09.20\00:24:15.70
JESUS PASSES BY ALL
THE TIME, DOESN'T HE ?
00:24:15.70\00:24:19.56
HE WALKS THROUGH OUR LIVES, AND
IF OUR FAITH WERE SUFFICIENT TO
TOUCH HIS FAITHFULNESS,
00:24:19.56\00:24:25.73
THERE COULD BE A CHANGE.
00:24:25.73\00:24:27.46
THIS WOMAN
REACHES OUT AND TOUCHES.
00:24:27.46\00:24:29.56
NOW, IT'S WONDERFUL
TO WATCH THE HUMAN DRAMA.
00:24:29.56\00:24:34.40
SOME PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE
THAT THE BIBLE IS SO REAL,
00:24:34.40\00:24:36.50
THEY PUT IT SO FAR AWAY
AND THEY MAKE IT SO SANITIZED.
00:24:36.50\00:24:42.83
THE SANITIZED
VERSION OF THE GOSPEL.
00:24:42.83\00:24:45.56
I DISLIKE IT.
00:24:45.56\00:24:47.20
I BELIEVE JESUS CAME IN
THE MIDST OF HUMAN AFFAIRS,
00:24:47.20\00:24:50.63
I BELIEVE THAT HIS POWER
IS EFFICACIOUS IN THE MIDDLE
00:24:50.63\00:24:54.46
OF THINGS THAT ARE
JOSTLING AGAINST EACH OTHER.
00:24:54.46\00:24:57.00
JESUS DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE US OUT
OF OURSELVES FOR HIS POWER TO
00:24:57.00\00:25:01.13
WORK; THE POWER OF JESUS
IS EFFECTIVE WHERE WE ARE.
00:25:01.13\00:25:04.86
SO, IN THE HUSTLE
AND BUSTLE OF SOCIETY,
00:25:04.86\00:25:07.06
JESUS IS STILL EFFECTIVE.
00:25:07.06\00:25:09.33
HIS POWER IS SUFFICIENT
IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF THIS.
00:25:09.33\00:25:13.73
SO JESUS SAYS,
"SOMEBODY TOUCHED ME."
00:25:13.73\00:25:20.90
REMEMBER NOW, THE WOMAN HAS BEEN
TREATED BY THE MEDICAL
ESTABLISHMENT LIKE NOBODY,
00:25:20.90\00:25:29.30
SHE'S BEEN TREATED BY
THE CHURCH LIKE NOBODY,
00:25:29.30\00:25:33.16
SHE'S BEEN TREATED BY
HER FRIENDS LIKE NOBODY.
00:25:33.16\00:25:36.70
IN FACT, EVERY DAY OF HER LIFE,
00:25:36.70\00:25:39.36
THERE WAS A LITANY OF
VOICES THAT CONFIRMED,
00:25:39.36\00:25:43.20
"YOU ARE NOBODY."
00:25:43.20\00:25:45.23
"YOU'RE NOTHING."
00:25:45.23\00:25:47.06
BUT NOW, JESUS SAYS, "SOMEBODY".

Announcer:  GOD IS
A HUMBLING MYSTERY.
00:25:52.36\00:25:55.93
BUT A MYSTERY ISN'T
SOMETHING WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.
00:25:55.93\00:25:59.56
IT'S SIMPLY SOMETHING WE
DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT.
00:25:59.56\00:26:03.40
SOMETIME OUR SEARCH FOR
UNDERSTANDING GOD CAN PRODUCE
ONLY MORE CONFUSION.
00:26:03.40\00:26:09.60
SOMETIMES GOD PASSES BY
US AND WE DON'T SEE HIM.
00:26:09.60\00:26:14.56
WE LET THE WORLD GET IN THE WAY.
00:26:14.56\00:26:16.86
WHEN WE CAN'T HEAR GOD SPEAK
TO US, WE LOSE OUR ABILITY TO
00:26:16.86\00:26:23.46
PERCEIVE HIM. THE GOOD NEWS IS
THAT THE GOD YOU ALWAYS WANTED
00:26:23.46\00:26:28.36
IS REALLY THERE. AND OUR OFFER
THIS WEEK WILL HELP YOU KNOW HIM
