00:00:00.810 --> 00:00:03.300
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:06.210
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:11.040
Hello friend. I'm so glad
that you're with me today.
4
00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:13.050
My name is Denise Renner
5
00:00:13.050 --> 00:00:17.850
and I'm excited about what
we are going to study today.
6
00:00:17.850 --> 00:00:21.810
We're talking about an encounter
7
00:00:21.810 --> 00:00:23.610
with Jesus.
8
00:00:23.610 --> 00:00:27.510
Is there anything more important,
9
00:00:27.510 --> 00:00:31.290
more precious, more powerful than
10
00:00:31.290 --> 00:00:34.620
to have an encounter with Jesus?
11
00:00:34.620 --> 00:00:38.310
A one-on-one encounter with him?
12
00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:41.460
There is nothing more important
13
00:00:41.460 --> 00:00:44.790
or more powerful to happen in your life.
14
00:00:44.790 --> 00:00:48.000
You know many people now,
they're, they're searching
15
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:49.080
for experience.
16
00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:52.080
They're searching for an
experience maybe with drugs
17
00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:54.780
or with illicit sex or
18
00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:57.450
or with alcohol
19
00:00:57.450 --> 00:01:01.200
or with all the riches
that they can attain.
20
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.930
They want an experience.
21
00:01:03.930 --> 00:01:06.810
But all those experience,
22
00:01:06.810 --> 00:01:11.400
they are in the shadow compared
23
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.540
to having an encounter with Jesus,
24
00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:20.540
our Lord, our savior,
creator of the universe,
25
00:01:20.910 --> 00:01:25.320
lover, the greatest lover,
the lover on the inside
26
00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:29.220
of you, the helper on the inside of you,
27
00:01:29.220 --> 00:01:33.690
the comforter on the inside
of you, the teacher on the
28
00:01:33.690 --> 00:01:35.220
inside of you.
29
00:01:35.220 --> 00:01:39.720
There's nothing in this world greater than
30
00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:42.000
having an encounter with him.
31
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.210
And he invites us to have an encounter
32
00:01:45.210 --> 00:01:48.510
with him every single
day through the person
33
00:01:48.510 --> 00:01:50.190
of the Holy Spirit.
34
00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:54.270
While I wanna encourage you and
35
00:01:54.270 --> 00:01:58.710
because I wanna tell you
about my husband's books
36
00:01:58.710 --> 00:02:03.240
because that will encourage
you in your walk with him.
37
00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:05.220
This is Sparkling Gems.
38
00:02:05.220 --> 00:02:07.470
It's a daily devotional,
39
00:02:07.470 --> 00:02:10.410
and each day there are Greek words.
40
00:02:10.410 --> 00:02:15.150
You can study them and
they're so powerful.
41
00:02:15.150 --> 00:02:18.420
I mean, so many people have come up to me through the years
42
00:02:18.420 --> 00:02:23.310
and said, we use this as a family devotional.
43
00:02:23.310 --> 00:02:26.850
Children love this and here's Vol.II
44
00:02:27.780 --> 00:02:29.610
Oh, they're so wonderful.
45
00:02:29.610 --> 00:02:32.880
And also I wanna offer you my book,
46
00:02:32.880 --> 00:02:36.360
it's brand new, it's called, Unstoppable.
47
00:02:38.250 --> 00:02:41.340
I think if there's ever
a time that we need
48
00:02:41.340 --> 00:02:45.330
to develop an unstoppable attitude,
49
00:02:45.330 --> 00:02:49.830
it's right now that we say no to offense,
50
00:02:49.830 --> 00:02:52.830
that we say no to fear,
51
00:02:52.830 --> 00:02:56.040
that we say no, to bowing down
52
00:02:56.040 --> 00:02:58.320
to other people's opinions.
53
00:02:58.320 --> 00:03:01.630
Well, that's what my book
is about, to encourage you
54
00:03:01.630 --> 00:03:06.310
to press through all those kinds of things, those obstacles
55
00:03:06.310 --> 00:03:08.170
that wanna stand in our way
56
00:03:08.170 --> 00:03:12.730
and keep us from winning our prize.
57
00:03:12.730 --> 00:03:17.500
Well, I'm excited about this
program today and stay with me
58
00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:19.420
and we'll begin our teaching.
59
00:03:19.420 --> 00:03:23.350
It's time for big miracles
and changes in your life.
60
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:25.570
Join Denise Renner
61
00:03:25.570 --> 00:03:29.140
and dive into the study of God's word, which has great power
62
00:03:29.140 --> 00:03:33.250
to strengthen faith, inspire,
change, heal physically
63
00:03:33.250 --> 00:03:35.740
and spiritually, and most importantly,
64
00:03:35.740 --> 00:03:37.240
help you learn about the power
65
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:38.920
of Christ Jesus living in you.
66
00:03:40.060 --> 00:03:42.070
It's time with Denise Renner.
67
00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:47.020
Today we're going to talk about a woman
68
00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:49.690
that had an encounter with Jesus,
69
00:03:49.690 --> 00:03:54.310
and we call her the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15:
70
00:03:54.310 --> 00:03:59.140
21-28.
71
00:03:59.140 --> 00:04:04.060
Now, before we begin, if you need prayer,
72
00:04:04.060 --> 00:04:09.060
oh, it's an important time
for us to pray together,
73
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:14.140
for us to encourage one
another, for us to reach out
74
00:04:14.140 --> 00:04:15.790
to one another.
75
00:04:15.790 --> 00:04:19.210
Oh, please call us or write us.
76
00:04:19.210 --> 00:04:24.160
And there's gonna be somebody
right there to pray with you,
77
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.520
to believe with you, to encourage you.
78
00:04:28.690 --> 00:04:33.520
It's a time of getting to
know Jesus better and better
79
00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:34.930
and better, and
80
00:04:34.930 --> 00:04:39.850
what an exciting way in praying
81
00:04:39.850 --> 00:04:41.620
with somebody else.
82
00:04:41.620 --> 00:04:44.350
So please give us a call or write us.
83
00:04:44.350 --> 00:04:46.900
And if God is doing
something amazing in your
84
00:04:46.900 --> 00:04:49.120
life, let us know.
85
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.880
This is a time of miracles.
86
00:04:51.880 --> 00:04:55.540
I know that the enemy
is kind of showing some
87
00:04:55.540 --> 00:04:59.770
of his power and that his ugliness
88
00:04:59.770 --> 00:05:04.770
and his evilness, but God is greater
89
00:05:04.990 --> 00:05:07.120
and the one on the inside
90
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:11.560
of you is greater than
the one in this world.
91
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.650
And it's a time for us
to recognize who's on the
92
00:05:17.650 --> 00:05:18.910
inside of us.
93
00:05:18.910 --> 00:05:22.750
And when you get a testimony,
don't you hold it in
94
00:05:22.750 --> 00:05:24.130
and not tell somebody
95
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.780
because Revelation 12:11 says,
96
00:05:28.780 --> 00:05:32.830
We overcome the devil by the blood of the lamb
97
00:05:32.830 --> 00:05:35.140
and the word of our testimony.
98
00:05:35.140 --> 00:05:39.700
Your testimony has power.
99
00:05:39.700 --> 00:05:42.070
So don't hold it into yourself.
100
00:05:42.070 --> 00:05:45.130
Give your testimony, tell somebody else
101
00:05:45.130 --> 00:05:47.530
how great God is today.
102
00:05:47.530 --> 00:05:51.610
Well, we're gonna begin our teaching. Now
103
00:05:51.610 --> 00:05:55.480
we are talking about personal encounters
104
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.640
with Jesus, one-on-one.
105
00:05:58.640 --> 00:06:00.560
And that is what you have.
106
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.090
That is what I have,
107
00:06:02.090 --> 00:06:04.670
because the Bible says that he that is
108
00:06:04.670 --> 00:06:07.370
with the Lord is one spirit.
109
00:06:07.370 --> 00:06:10.460
So you are not over
here. God's over there.
110
00:06:10.460 --> 00:06:15.380
God is in the very inside
of you, in the person
111
00:06:15.380 --> 00:06:17.000
of the Holy Spirit.
112
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:22.000
The third person of the
Godhead lives in you.
113
00:06:22.310 --> 00:06:26.810
And he, it's normal for us
to have encounter with him.
114
00:06:26.810 --> 00:06:30.650
And that is what we are gonna
talk about today about this
115
00:06:30.650 --> 00:06:35.650
woman: as Matthew 15, as I told you.
116
00:06:35.870 --> 00:06:39.620
Well, the first thing that we notice about this woman,
117
00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:41.450
that she's a canaanite
118
00:06:41.450 --> 00:06:42.680
and that means
119
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.340
that her relatives in the past were
120
00:06:46.340 --> 00:06:48.950
enemies of Israel.
121
00:06:48.950 --> 00:06:53.540
Now, the Canaanites were
known for human sacrifices
122
00:06:53.540 --> 00:06:55.760
and worshipping idols.
123
00:06:55.760 --> 00:06:57.770
The Canaanites were not good people.
124
00:06:57.770 --> 00:07:02.630
You can see why they were
enemies of the Israelites,
125
00:07:02.630 --> 00:07:05.270
and that's why it's so amazing
126
00:07:05.270 --> 00:07:09.200
that this woman would reach out to Jesus.
127
00:07:09.200 --> 00:07:12.170
So this woman is, she's
from a terrible background.
128
00:07:13.490 --> 00:07:15.170
She came to Jesus
129
00:07:15.170 --> 00:07:17.450
and the Bible says
130
00:07:17.450 --> 00:07:20.450
that she cried out, let's read it.
131
00:07:20.450 --> 00:07:22.670
It says in verse 22:
132
00:07:24.350 --> 00:07:28.880
And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region
133
00:07:28.880 --> 00:07:33.350
and cried out to him saying - Have a mercy on me,
134
00:07:33.350 --> 00:07:35.870
Oh Lord, son of David!
135
00:07:35.870 --> 00:07:40.870
My daughter is severely demon possessed.
136
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.550
Now, I looked at this up in the language,
137
00:07:43.550 --> 00:07:47.060
and it's not like she
just saw Jesus there.
138
00:07:48.320 --> 00:07:52.520
And she just one time said, son of David,
139
00:07:52.520 --> 00:07:55.100
have mercy on me.
140
00:07:55.100 --> 00:07:59.540
My daughter is severely demon possessed.
141
00:07:59.540 --> 00:08:02.810
And then Jesus didn't look
at her or say anything,
142
00:08:02.810 --> 00:08:06.320
and then she said, oh, well,
I guess he didn't hear me.
143
00:08:06.320 --> 00:08:09.530
Well, I guess it's just not my day.
144
00:08:09.530 --> 00:08:13.550
No, in the language,
in the Greek language,
145
00:08:13.550 --> 00:08:18.410
it clearly means that she cried out over
146
00:08:18.410 --> 00:08:19.610
and over
147
00:08:19.610 --> 00:08:23.690
and over again saying,
148
00:08:23.690 --> 00:08:25.640
have mercy on me.
149
00:08:25.640 --> 00:08:27.710
Can't you just hear her?
150
00:08:27.710 --> 00:08:32.150
Have mercy on me, son of David.
151
00:08:33.290 --> 00:08:36.830
My daughter is severely demon possessed.
152
00:08:38.270 --> 00:08:41.750
Have mercy. Have mercy on me.
153
00:08:41.750 --> 00:08:43.850
The son of David.
154
00:08:43.850 --> 00:08:47.810
My daughter is severely demon possessed.
155
00:08:49.375 --> 00:08:53.810
Have a mercy. Have a mercy on me.
156
00:08:53.810 --> 00:08:58.810
Oh, son of David, my
daughter's demon possessed.
157
00:08:59.130 --> 00:09:01.530
She was crying out, she was crying out,
158
00:09:01.530 --> 00:09:03.390
and she is crying out.
159
00:09:03.390 --> 00:09:05.250
Why was she crying out?
160
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:10.380
Have you ever had a child
that was so severely sick,
161
00:09:10.380 --> 00:09:14.340
a child, maybe a child
that was deformed, a child
162
00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:18.750
that had severe handicaps, a child
163
00:09:18.750 --> 00:09:22.350
that couldn't feed himself,
a child that couldn't walk,
164
00:09:22.350 --> 00:09:25.410
a child that was screaming
all the time, a child
165
00:09:25.410 --> 00:09:30.090
that was sick all the time.
As a mother, what would
166
00:09:30.090 --> 00:09:31.830
that be like to you?
167
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:36.210
You would be so desperate.
168
00:09:36.210 --> 00:09:40.680
You would be looking
every place you could find
169
00:09:40.680 --> 00:09:42.450
as a responsible mother.
170
00:09:42.450 --> 00:09:45.420
You would be doing everything
you could for your child.
171
00:09:46.590 --> 00:09:50.670
Well, evidently, this Canaanite woman,
172
00:09:50.670 --> 00:09:53.640
she heard about Jesus.
173
00:09:53.640 --> 00:09:57.960
And for some reason, maybe
it was a testimony she heard,
174
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:01.260
she heard that there could be help there.
175
00:10:02.580 --> 00:10:04.380
And as Jesus is there,
176
00:10:04.380 --> 00:10:08.490
she's not just gonna
scream out once or twice.
177
00:10:08.490 --> 00:10:12.030
She's gonna scream out over and over
178
00:10:12.030 --> 00:10:14.550
and over again.
179
00:10:14.550 --> 00:10:15.810
Have mercy.
180
00:10:15.810 --> 00:10:19.980
Have mercy on me, son of David,
181
00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:21.510
my daughter.
182
00:10:21.510 --> 00:10:25.080
My daughter's severely demon possessed.
183
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:29.100
Well, what happens after that? Verse 23:
184
00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:33.060
But he did not answer her a word.
185
00:10:33.060 --> 00:10:34.440
And the disciples came
186
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:38.250
and urged him, saying, send her away
187
00:10:38.250 --> 00:10:40.620
for she cries after us.
188
00:10:40.620 --> 00:10:41.970
But he answered
189
00:10:41.970 --> 00:10:46.920
and said, I was not sent except
190
00:10:46.920 --> 00:10:50.940
to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
191
00:10:51.930 --> 00:10:56.930
Now Jesus, he didn't say,
okay, let's send her away.
192
00:10:57.330 --> 00:11:01.560
All he said was, this is
not who I was sent to,
193
00:11:04.140 --> 00:11:08.940
but this supposedly rejection
194
00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:11.640
that this woman is experiencing,
195
00:11:11.640 --> 00:11:15.360
and I'm sure that she can
hear the disciples, oh Lord,
196
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.070
should we send her away?
197
00:11:17.070 --> 00:11:20.490
Send her away away.
Lord, she's bothering us.
198
00:11:20.490 --> 00:11:24.690
She's been screaming and
screaming and screaming.
199
00:11:24.690 --> 00:11:27.270
She's just a Canaanite woman.
200
00:11:28.230 --> 00:11:30.240
Oh, let's just send her away.
201
00:11:31.530 --> 00:11:33.630
But it didn't stop that woman.
202
00:11:34.500 --> 00:11:38.070
Then it says in verse 25:
203
00:11:39.995 --> 00:11:41.220
Then she came
204
00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:44.130
and she worshiped him saying,
205
00:11:44.130 --> 00:11:46.230
Lord, help me.
206
00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:52.940
For her, her answer had not come.
207
00:11:53.290 --> 00:11:55.690
Her answer, she didn't get.
208
00:11:55.690 --> 00:11:57.760
She hadn't gotten what she wanted yet.
209
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:02.620
And how many of us really want
210
00:12:02.620 --> 00:12:06.100
what God has: his miracle working power,
211
00:12:06.100 --> 00:12:09.910
his peace giving power, his
212
00:12:09.910 --> 00:12:13.930
giving us joy, giving us
strength when we're weak.
213
00:12:13.930 --> 00:12:18.820
How many of us desperately
want from Jesus exactly
214
00:12:18.820 --> 00:12:19.990
like this woman?
215
00:12:21.940 --> 00:12:24.190
How many of us cry out
216
00:12:25.420 --> 00:12:28.630
or how many of us say, well,
I'm not gonna cry out anymore
217
00:12:28.630 --> 00:12:32.380
because all the people around
me, they have an opinion and,
218
00:12:32.380 --> 00:12:35.920
and I'm getting embarrassed
because I ain't crying out
219
00:12:35.920 --> 00:12:37.150
and nothing has happened.
220
00:12:38.410 --> 00:12:40.150
This didn't stop that woman.
221
00:12:41.560 --> 00:12:44.140
She didn't move away to go
222
00:12:44.140 --> 00:12:47.860
to a lower level answer.
223
00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:52.860
She knew her answer was
standing in front of her.
224
00:12:53.110 --> 00:12:57.220
She wasn't going to depend
on her own thinking.
225
00:12:57.220 --> 00:13:00.790
She knew that there was no other answer.
226
00:13:01.750 --> 00:13:05.200
And friend, I'm telling you - when we get -
227
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.940
when you get desperate enough, you'll know
228
00:13:09.940 --> 00:13:13.270
that our focus needs
229
00:13:13.270 --> 00:13:17.410
to be sharpened like it was on this woman
230
00:13:17.410 --> 00:13:20.200
sharpened on Jesus
231
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:23.500
and saying, he's my only answer.
232
00:13:24.880 --> 00:13:29.290
Thank you for your suggestion.
But Jesus is my only answer.
233
00:13:30.910 --> 00:13:34.540
This is the attitude that this woman had.
234
00:13:36.580 --> 00:13:39.850
I have a question. Would we cry out?
235
00:13:39.850 --> 00:13:43.030
Would we not care what
others thought or said?
236
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:48.910
She did? She doesn't stop there.
237
00:13:48.910 --> 00:13:51.040
She worshiped him.
238
00:13:52.690 --> 00:13:55.090
We don't know what her
worship looked like.
239
00:13:55.090 --> 00:13:58.240
We could imagine maybe
she fell on the ground
240
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.070
and maybe we don't know,
maybe she held onto his feet.
241
00:14:03.070 --> 00:14:06.850
Maybe. Maybe she looked up at him and
242
00:14:06.850 --> 00:14:08.590
and she said, I worship you.
243
00:14:08.590 --> 00:14:12.430
I worship you, son of
David, of mercy on me.
244
00:14:12.430 --> 00:14:16.390
We don't know what her
worship looked like,
245
00:14:19.990 --> 00:14:23.770
but we know that it,
that she worshiped him.
246
00:14:23.770 --> 00:14:28.770
She was not letting him
go of this possibility
247
00:14:28.870 --> 00:14:31.780
that her daughter could be free.
248
00:14:32.620 --> 00:14:36.400
No one else was crying out
to Jesus for her daughter
249
00:14:36.400 --> 00:14:37.540
to be free.
250
00:14:39.190 --> 00:14:44.020
It's an encounter with Jesus, just Jesus
251
00:14:44.020 --> 00:14:47.920
and this woman. She does not care
252
00:14:47.920 --> 00:14:50.800
what the disciples think or anyone else.
253
00:14:50.800 --> 00:14:53.120
You can tell that because she's screaming
254
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:54.920
and screaming and screaming.
255
00:14:54.920 --> 00:14:58.610
They say, Lord, should we send
her away? She ignores that.
256
00:14:58.610 --> 00:15:01.940
She either gets on the,
probably gets on the ground
257
00:15:01.940 --> 00:15:04.790
before Jesus and starts worshiping him.
258
00:15:06.740 --> 00:15:11.060
She recognizes he's the
only one with the answer.
259
00:15:11.060 --> 00:15:15.230
Something powerful happens
when we worship Jesus.
260
00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:20.510
There's an exchange that
happens when we worship Jesus.
261
00:15:20.510 --> 00:15:24.740
This woman was exchanging everything,
262
00:15:24.740 --> 00:15:27.260
every other, answer anything,
263
00:15:27.260 --> 00:15:29.780
what anyone else thought about her
264
00:15:31.190 --> 00:15:33.470
to get Jesus attention
265
00:15:33.470 --> 00:15:38.450
and to say to him a simple prayer - Help me.
266
00:15:40.460 --> 00:15:42.020
And I was asking this question
267
00:15:42.020 --> 00:15:43.820
to myself when I was studying
268
00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:47.720
this - Does our worship,
269
00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:52.520
is it a worship that says, God, I lay down my own thoughts,
270
00:15:52.520 --> 00:15:56.930
I lay down my own opinions,
I lay down my fear,
271
00:15:56.930 --> 00:16:01.930
and Lord, I take on what you
said about this situation.
272
00:16:02.150 --> 00:16:05.990
I believe only on you, Jesus.
273
00:16:05.990 --> 00:16:10.970
That is exactly what this
woman did. It's so beautiful.
274
00:16:10.970 --> 00:16:13.820
You know, many years
ago I was in a situation
275
00:16:13.820 --> 00:16:16.070
and I truly was desperate
276
00:16:17.420 --> 00:16:19.850
because I was having panic attacks.
277
00:16:19.850 --> 00:16:22.880
I had a tremendous amount
of fear in my life.
278
00:16:22.880 --> 00:16:25.160
I had no idea what to do.
279
00:16:25.160 --> 00:16:29.540
My hands were painfully cold all the time.
280
00:16:29.540 --> 00:16:33.800
My feet were painfully cold all the time.
281
00:16:33.800 --> 00:16:38.000
It was like I had a vice on my mind.
282
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:42.770
I had no peace. I didn't know what to do.
283
00:16:42.770 --> 00:16:47.150
I only knew that the word of
God and Jesus was the answer.
284
00:16:48.650 --> 00:16:50.510
I didn't wanna go to a doctor
285
00:16:50.510 --> 00:16:53.150
because I thought, well,
they'll just give me pills
286
00:16:53.150 --> 00:16:56.480
or something and they'll just
put some diagnosis on me.
287
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.590
No, I'm just gonna stay in
here. I'm gonna believe God.
288
00:17:00.590 --> 00:17:04.490
I'm gonna stay with the word
of God till I get the answer.
289
00:17:06.530 --> 00:17:07.880
And do you know what happened?
290
00:17:08.810 --> 00:17:13.370
I would say I was something like this woman. One night,
291
00:17:13.370 --> 00:17:15.500
it was in the middle of the night,
292
00:17:15.500 --> 00:17:19.550
my whole family was sleeping.
I was up sleepless nights.
293
00:17:19.550 --> 00:17:23.870
I took a hold of the sink in this bedroom
294
00:17:23.870 --> 00:17:28.220
and I said, God, I don't
know what you want,
295
00:17:28.220 --> 00:17:31.430
but I am not letting go of you.
296
00:17:33.170 --> 00:17:36.050
It was a few weeks later
297
00:17:37.250 --> 00:17:39.530
and man of God spoke to me.
298
00:17:39.530 --> 00:17:42.470
He didn't know anything that
was going on in my life,
299
00:17:43.580 --> 00:17:45.800
but God knew what was going on in my life
300
00:17:45.800 --> 00:17:49.800
and he knew my desperateness
inside of my soul
301
00:17:49.800 --> 00:17:53.910
and my trust in him, and
that he was my only answer.
302
00:17:53.910 --> 00:17:57.390
And this man of God said to me, he said,
303
00:17:57.390 --> 00:17:59.490
you're a sensitive person.
304
00:17:59.490 --> 00:18:02.370
And he said, you've
got pain in your heart.
305
00:18:02.370 --> 00:18:05.580
He said, you're gonna wake up in 24 hours
306
00:18:05.580 --> 00:18:07.740
and you're gonna wake
up in a different world.
307
00:18:08.970 --> 00:18:13.970
Well, I thought - okay. Well, in those 24 hours,
308
00:18:14.100 --> 00:18:17.820
I was able to see, God
showed me a situation
309
00:18:17.820 --> 00:18:21.090
that I had had great
pain in my heart about,
310
00:18:21.090 --> 00:18:22.860
and I forgave someone
311
00:18:22.860 --> 00:18:25.470
and I release forgiveness to that person.
312
00:18:26.790 --> 00:18:30.480
I'm telling you, friend,
I went to bed that night
313
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.120
and I woke up the next morning
314
00:18:33.120 --> 00:18:36.300
and it was like the invisible hand
315
00:18:36.300 --> 00:18:40.140
of God came into my heart.
316
00:18:40.140 --> 00:18:43.140
And he took out all the bitterness
317
00:18:43.140 --> 00:18:47.730
that was in my heart: unforgiveness and confusion and pain,
318
00:18:47.730 --> 00:18:50.910
and its tentacles that were
growing down into my soul
319
00:18:50.910 --> 00:18:54.900
and causing, causing
me to have great fear.
320
00:18:54.900 --> 00:18:57.900
And it was like he did it
in the middle of the night.
321
00:18:57.900 --> 00:19:02.850
And I woke up the next morning
and I was completely free.
322
00:19:02.850 --> 00:19:05.610
Every symptom that I had,
it was absolutely gone.
323
00:19:05.610 --> 00:19:09.210
My mind was normal. My hands
and my feet were normal.
324
00:19:09.210 --> 00:19:13.710
All fear was gone. I was desperate.
325
00:19:13.710 --> 00:19:15.900
And I got my answer.
326
00:19:15.900 --> 00:19:19.350
I was much like this woman,
but I wouldn't give up.
327
00:19:19.350 --> 00:19:22.200
And this woman, she's not giving up.
328
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:29.220
And when we come to a place,
it's so deep in worship,
329
00:19:29.220 --> 00:19:33.450
when we say with our heart, I don't know
330
00:19:33.450 --> 00:19:38.070
what I have to do, but
I'm not letting go of you
331
00:19:38.070 --> 00:19:40.470
because you are my answer.
332
00:19:40.470 --> 00:19:43.110
You are my only answer.
333
00:19:44.490 --> 00:19:46.350
Do you know
334
00:19:46.350 --> 00:19:50.160
that here are the tones of worship
335
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:55.080
in that kind of statement; I surrender,
336
00:19:55.080 --> 00:19:56.820
you are the answer.
337
00:19:56.820 --> 00:20:00.240
There's not another answer for me.
338
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.690
I'm not leaving till I get my answer.
339
00:20:03.690 --> 00:20:07.770
There is something so
holy about recognizing
340
00:20:07.770 --> 00:20:10.950
that he is the Lord of your life
341
00:20:10.950 --> 00:20:14.460
and that you trust in him and him alone.
342
00:20:14.460 --> 00:20:19.460
That is worship, out of
that worship for that woman,
343
00:20:19.650 --> 00:20:22.710
that woman out of the worship
that came out of her heart.
344
00:20:22.710 --> 00:20:24.600
And we don't know what it looked like.
345
00:20:24.600 --> 00:20:28.020
But out of that worship
came a simple prayer
346
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.250
and it was - Lord, help me.
347
00:20:34.560 --> 00:20:38.550
Well, something amazing
happens after that prayer.
348
00:20:38.550 --> 00:20:42.150
Jesus, he starts talking to her
349
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.990
and he says - it's verse 26 -
350
00:20:46.990 --> 00:20:50.230
It is not good to take
the children's bread
351
00:20:50.230 --> 00:20:53.020
and throw it to the little dogs.
352
00:20:53.020 --> 00:20:55.180
And she said - Yes, Lord,
353
00:20:55.180 --> 00:20:58.840
but even the little dogs eat the crumbs,
354
00:20:58.840 --> 00:21:01.720
which fall from the master's table.
355
00:21:03.250 --> 00:21:07.360
And Jesus answered and said - Oh woman, great
356
00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:11.980
is your faith, let it be
357
00:21:11.980 --> 00:21:14.380
as you desire.
358
00:21:15.460 --> 00:21:19.360
You see what Jesus said
359
00:21:19.360 --> 00:21:22.960
even about the dogs and about the bread.
360
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:24.880
He said that the bread
361
00:21:25.900 --> 00:21:30.160
on the table is healing bread
362
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:34.660
for the lost sheep of
Israel and it's not for you.
363
00:21:35.950 --> 00:21:40.360
And he mentions that she's a dog.
364
00:21:40.360 --> 00:21:44.620
Well, look at what Jesus said
does. This is so amazing.
365
00:21:45.850 --> 00:21:50.560
I think that woman said, perfect.
366
00:21:50.560 --> 00:21:54.760
The bread's on the table, crumbs fall off
367
00:21:54.760 --> 00:21:58.030
of the table onto the floor.
368
00:21:58.030 --> 00:22:01.630
The little dogs are on the floor.
369
00:22:01.630 --> 00:22:04.660
He has said, I'm like a dog,
370
00:22:05.860 --> 00:22:08.410
so like a dog,
371
00:22:08.410 --> 00:22:12.130
I'm gonna take the crumbs from
372
00:22:12.130 --> 00:22:13.630
that bread.
373
00:22:15.130 --> 00:22:20.130
She saw that he was making a way
374
00:22:20.350 --> 00:22:23.920
that she could have this miracle.
375
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:26.080
He said, the bread's on the table,
376
00:22:26.080 --> 00:22:29.890
but crumbs fall from the table
377
00:22:29.890 --> 00:22:31.150
to little dogs.
378
00:22:31.990 --> 00:22:34.720
She said, well, I know
379
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.780
that in this culture I'm considered a dog,
380
00:22:37.780 --> 00:22:40.390
but even the little dog,
381
00:22:40.390 --> 00:22:44.950
they get the crumbs from that
bread that that you've got
382
00:22:44.950 --> 00:22:46.330
that's healing.
383
00:22:46.330 --> 00:22:51.330
So that means, Lord, I'm
gonna take the crumbs.
384
00:22:51.520 --> 00:22:56.520
She saw a way to her miracle. Is that
385
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:01.300
fantastic. Jesus, without disobeying the law
386
00:23:01.300 --> 00:23:05.710
or anything, he spoke it away.
387
00:23:05.710 --> 00:23:10.710
That hope raised in her heart.
388
00:23:11.080 --> 00:23:13.810
She saw herself as that little dog.
389
00:23:13.810 --> 00:23:16.240
She saw herself under that table,
390
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:19.330
and she knew the crimes
that were from that bread
391
00:23:19.330 --> 00:23:23.380
that was healing were
gonna fall on the floor.
392
00:23:23.380 --> 00:23:26.380
And she could take those crimes
393
00:23:26.380 --> 00:23:30.070
and she could get what she wanted.
394
00:23:30.070 --> 00:23:33.130
And look, and Jesus said - Great
395
00:23:33.130 --> 00:23:37.660
is your faith. Be it unto
396
00:23:37.660 --> 00:23:40.000
you as you desire?
397
00:23:40.870 --> 00:23:44.620
Oh, do you not love Jesus?
398
00:23:44.620 --> 00:23:49.620
He made a way for this precious woman,
399
00:23:50.090 --> 00:23:54.560
for her daughter who was
severely demon possessed
400
00:23:54.560 --> 00:23:58.310
for her to be free. Friend,
401
00:23:58.310 --> 00:24:03.110
that's how much he loves you and I.
402
00:24:03.110 --> 00:24:05.540
He sees our affliction
403
00:24:05.540 --> 00:24:09.350
and he's made a way to deliver us
404
00:24:09.350 --> 00:24:14.150
and save us from our
affliction and our problems.
405
00:24:14.150 --> 00:24:17.870
Well stay with me because I wanna pray with
406
00:24:17.870 --> 00:24:18.870
you.
407
00:24:18.870 --> 00:24:21.500
Are you tired of getting
stopped by the negative voices

fear, offense
410

effect on your life.

do you see how much Jesus
wanted to get that miracle
446
00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:00.950
to that woman and how
447
00:26:00.950 --> 00:26:04.430
that woman recognized that Jesus
448
00:26:05.570 --> 00:26:07.850
was the only answer?
449
00:26:10.010 --> 00:26:11.990
I'm telling you there are situations

And I want to pray with you right now.
454
00:26:22.730 --> 00:26:26.120
Father, oh, father God, we thank you

for your presence right now.

458
00:26:36.230 --> 00:26:37.550

in his glorious name.
473
00:27:25.140 --> 00:27:29.100

and I am going to see you
again on our next program.
478
00:27:41.850 --> 00:27:44.880
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
479
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:49.050
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life.
480
00:27:49.050 --> 00:27:50.790
Jesus has to give you.
481
00:27:50.790 --> 00:27:54.000
Pray this prayer with me right now; Lord,
482
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:57.960
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
483
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:02.730
and Lord. Wash away my sin
and make me completely new.
484
00:28:02.730 --> 00:28:04.890
I thank you that my sin is removed
485
00:28:04.890 --> 00:28:09.210
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
486
00:28:09.210 --> 00:28:13.860
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
487
00:28:13.860 --> 00:28:15.960
for the rest of my life.
488
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:16.793
Amen.
