This program is made
possible by the giving

of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:10.170
Hello, friend. My name is Denise Renner,
4
00:00:10.170 --> 00:00:13.170
and I'm so excited to come to you today.
5
00:00:13.170 --> 00:00:15.540
Today's teaching will be
a little bit different
6
00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:18.270
because it's from the mountains
7
00:00:18.270 --> 00:00:22.440
of Colorado at the Charis Bible School,
8
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:26.340
and I was teaching there on Expectant Hope.
9
00:00:26.340 --> 00:00:30.630 line:15%
And I wanna offer you my series, it's called Expectant Hope,
10
00:00:30.630 --> 00:00:34.710 line:15%
the Fire for Faith, and it
comes with a study guide.
11
00:00:34.710 --> 00:00:37.800
And today is also a very special day
12
00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:42.800 line:15%
because I'm offering you
my book, Unstoppable.
13
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.750 line:15%
And it's free to you today.
14
00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:48.990 line:15%
Just call us, just just
let us know if you'd like
15
00:00:48.990 --> 00:00:51.570 line:15%
to have this book, and
we're gonna send it to you.
16
00:00:51.570 --> 00:00:55.080 line:15%
And if you need prayer, please let us know
17
00:00:55.080 --> 00:00:57.900 line:15%
how we can pray for you.
18
00:00:57.900 --> 00:01:02.900
Before we begin, I want to share with you amazing testimony.
19
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:04.680 line:15%
And this woman wrote,
20
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:09.680 line:15%
and she said, I have had
swollen legs for years,
21
00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:14.430 line:15%
but I was in a service and
there was a word of knowledge,
22
00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:16.740 line:15%
and I received that word
23
00:01:16.740 --> 00:01:20.250 line:15%
that God was healing somebody's legs,
24
00:01:20.250 --> 00:01:23.550 line:15%
and my legs were instantly healed.
25
00:01:23.550 --> 00:01:26.580 line:15%
And I haven't had any problem since.
26
00:01:26.580 --> 00:01:30.240 line:15%
Praise the Lord, that was her faith.
27
00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:34.440 line:15%
And that's what we're gonna talk about in our program today.
28
00:01:34.440 --> 00:01:36.000 line:15%

So is my great honor to

38
00:02:06.270 --> 00:02:08.430
And before we do, I just, I wanna pray.
39
00:02:09.900 --> 00:02:14.460
Father, I thank you, God for your presence
40
00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:16.620
that's in this place right now.
41
00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:20.250
I thank you for every hungry
heart that's in this place,
42
00:02:20.250 --> 00:02:24.060
and Lord, that lives can be
changed today through the word
43
00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:26.220
of God, through the power of God,
44
00:02:26.220 --> 00:02:28.200
and through the anointing of God.
45
00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:30.720
Lord, your anointing breaks the yoke.
46
00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:34.800
And Lord, I believe that the Holy Spirit, the great teacher,
47
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.530
the great comforter, the great guide
48
00:02:37.530 --> 00:02:40.260
that his presence is in this place.
49
00:02:40.260 --> 00:02:43.170
He's in us, he's with us,
50
00:02:43.170 --> 00:02:45.720
and he's on us for power.
51
00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:48.810
And I thank you, Lord, for
this opportunity to get
52
00:02:48.810 --> 00:02:53.040
to speak into the lives
that these amazing students.
53
00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:54.630
And Lord, I give you all the praise
54
00:02:54.630 --> 00:02:57.180
for it in the name of Jesus.
55
00:02:57.180 --> 00:03:00.640
Amen. Amen.
56
00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:01.990
Well, I wanna start
57
00:03:01.990 --> 00:03:06.340
with a small testimony. About 3 weeks ago,
58
00:03:08.530 --> 00:03:12.460
I've been working with this lady for oh four
59
00:03:12.460 --> 00:03:15.190
or five, six years, I'm not sure how long,
60
00:03:15.190 --> 00:03:19.510
but for the last four years,
she was fighting cancer
61
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.770
and she would be victorious.
62
00:03:23.770 --> 00:03:25.660
She never, ever stopped working.
63
00:03:25.660 --> 00:03:28.420
We were colleagues
together, we were friends.
64
00:03:28.420 --> 00:03:32.470
She became my neighbor. I mean I loved her like a daughter.
65
00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:37.810
And so, you know, she,
66
00:03:37.810 --> 00:03:40.360
she fought the hardest that she could.
67
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:41.500
And,
68
00:03:42.730 --> 00:03:45.310
but maybe you've been in that situation
69
00:03:45.310 --> 00:03:47.020
where you saw somebody go down
70
00:03:48.010 --> 00:03:51.130
and you can't, you can't explain it.
71
00:03:51.130 --> 00:03:53.710
You can't, you know your
mind, you don't wanna go
72
00:03:53.710 --> 00:03:55.630
to your mind, you can't
go to your emotions
73
00:03:55.630 --> 00:03:58.660
so you can only go to your faith.
74
00:03:58.660 --> 00:04:01.690
And she was doing very bad.
75
00:04:01.690 --> 00:04:06.400
And I got to see her right
76
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.380
before she really, really got bad
77
00:04:08.380 --> 00:04:09.820
and didn't wanna see anybody.
78
00:04:09.820 --> 00:04:12.370
We had an amazing time together, two
79
00:04:12.370 --> 00:04:16.270
and a half hours, we laughed,
we ate, we had a great time.
80
00:04:16.270 --> 00:04:19.510
And then she didn't wanna
see anybody after that.
81
00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:24.670
Well, I made the choice to Rick
82
00:04:24.670 --> 00:04:27.220
to go onto the United States without me
83
00:04:27.220 --> 00:04:30.160
because I just couldn't
get on that airplane
84
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.160
and not done everything
that I could have done.
85
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.320
And I didn't wanna get on that airplane
86
00:04:35.320 --> 00:04:38.845
and they say, well, she's gone now. I just couldn't do it.
87
00:04:38.845 --> 00:04:41.380
I couldn't do it in that my own soul.
88
00:04:41.380 --> 00:04:45.070
And so I decided, well, I'm here.
89
00:04:45.070 --> 00:04:47.590
I as well film some programs
90
00:04:47.590 --> 00:04:51.850
and not just, she lived across the street,
91
00:04:51.850 --> 00:04:53.920
not just stare across the street.
92
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.260
What is that good? Is that going to do?
93
00:04:56.260 --> 00:04:58.690
And so I, I thought, okay,
94
00:04:58.690 --> 00:05:00.430
I know I'm gonna teach on healing.
95
00:05:00.430 --> 00:05:02.110
And I was preparing myself
96
00:05:02.110 --> 00:05:06.280
to go our studios across the
street from our house to go
97
00:05:06.280 --> 00:05:10.810
and to to do my programs.
98
00:05:10.810 --> 00:05:13.210
And I opened my Bible.
99
00:05:13.210 --> 00:05:16.660
And I don't know if this has
ever happened to you or not,
100
00:05:16.660 --> 00:05:18.250
but I just stared at it.
101
00:05:21.190 --> 00:05:23.620
I opened up the Mark 2.
102
00:05:23.620 --> 00:05:25.360
I went down to verse 5,
103
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.970
and it says, when Jesus saw their faith,
104
00:05:27.970 --> 00:05:32.050
and all I did was stare
at it, I'd stared at it
105
00:05:32.050 --> 00:05:34.690
for 30 minutes.
106
00:05:34.690 --> 00:05:38.860
And, and I knew what
was going on in my mind,
107
00:05:38.860 --> 00:05:40.480
questions.
108
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:42.910
Does she wanna go? Does she not wanna go?
109
00:05:42.910 --> 00:05:46.210
What happened that all
the normal questions
110
00:05:47.380 --> 00:05:52.210
and then my emotions,
I was like, I love her.
111
00:05:52.210 --> 00:05:55.060
I'm gonna miss her. Just
normal things, right?
112
00:05:56.860 --> 00:06:01.400
And I stared at those words - when Jesus saw their faith.
113
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.480
And I said, Lord,
114
00:06:06.590 --> 00:06:08.510
my mind's not doing me any good.
115
00:06:09.650 --> 00:06:12.020
My emotions aren't doing me any good.
116
00:06:14.570 --> 00:06:17.030
I've got to use my faith.
117
00:06:17.030 --> 00:06:19.700
I've got to study the word with faith.
118
00:06:19.700 --> 00:06:23.120
I've gotta go over there and
film those programs with faith
119
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.180
and not with my mental exercise.
120
00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:29.390
Turn that off and not with my emotions.
121
00:06:30.500 --> 00:06:34.550
And so I went to Mark 2,
122
00:06:34.550 --> 00:06:37.130
and I love this story so much,
123
00:06:37.130 --> 00:06:39.770
and if you've heard it,
read it, studied it,
124
00:06:39.770 --> 00:06:41.780
preached it, forget it.
125
00:06:41.780 --> 00:06:44.540
I wa I wanna open it up to you again.
126
00:06:46.790 --> 00:06:51.260
So as you know, it says, and
again, he entered Capernaum
127
00:06:51.260 --> 00:06:53.480 line:15%
after some days: verse 1:
128
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.540 line:15%
And it was heard that he was in the house.
129
00:06:56.540 --> 00:07:00.950 line:15%
So in Capernaum, I mean, there is a buzz
130
00:07:00.950 --> 00:07:03.980 line:15%
because Jesus is in the house
131
00:07:05.690 --> 00:07:07.460 line:15%
and Dake says
132
00:07:07.460 --> 00:07:11.270 line:15%
that the house was Jesus house.
133
00:07:11.270 --> 00:07:16.270 line:15%
So they're all excited.
134
00:07:16.730 --> 00:07:20.390 line:15%
Verse 2: Immediately, many gathered together so
135
00:07:20.390 --> 00:07:23.810 line:15%
that there was no longer
room to receive them,
136
00:07:23.810 --> 00:07:26.210 line:15%
not even near the door.
137
00:07:26.210 --> 00:07:28.820 line:15%
And he preached the word to them.
138
00:07:28.820 --> 00:07:32.930 line:15%
So if you can imagine that
139
00:07:32.930 --> 00:07:36.710 line:15%
this room is so packed,
140
00:07:37.640 --> 00:07:41.360
and I was, I had the privilege
141
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:46.310
of being on Red Square in on
2000, on the New Year's Eve.
142
00:07:46.310 --> 00:07:49.910
There were so many people
there, we were so can,
143
00:07:49.910 --> 00:07:51.050
can you come here for a second?
144
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.720
We were like this. I
mean, I mean like this.
145
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.530
And it's....it's carrying you.
146
00:08:00.530 --> 00:08:03.260
You're not carrying yourself.
They're carrying you.
147
00:08:04.430 --> 00:08:09.430
And I picture, thank you, I picture that
148
00:08:09.530 --> 00:08:13.640
house, that they're just crammed in there
149
00:08:13.640 --> 00:08:16.190
because, you know, they
wanted to hear from Jesus.
150
00:08:17.030 --> 00:08:20.570
They'd heard about the miracles,n they'd heard about the
151
00:08:20.570 --> 00:08:24.140
5,000 people that were healed, I mean,
152
00:08:24.980 --> 00:08:27.260
fed with the loaves and the fishes.
153
00:08:27.260 --> 00:08:29.630
They'd heard about it. They'd heard about
154
00:08:29.630 --> 00:08:31.160
blind eyes being open.
155
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:34.040
They'd heard about demon
possessed people being free.
156
00:08:34.040 --> 00:08:36.800
They'd heard about crippled
people being walked.
157
00:08:36.800 --> 00:08:41.000
They heard about his teaching
and they wanted to be there.
158
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:42.980
And they're crammed in that room.
159
00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:46.580
So picture this room, we're
all just crammed in here,
160
00:08:46.580 --> 00:08:50.990
and we're crammed in here
so far that at that door,
161
00:08:50.990 --> 00:08:52.910
nobody can get in.
162
00:08:52.910 --> 00:08:57.840
Nobody can get in because
there's so many people.
163
00:08:58.740 --> 00:09:01.560
And that's how it was on this day,
164
00:09:02.610 --> 00:09:06.000
on this day, this day.
165
00:09:07.290 --> 00:09:10.350
And Jesus is preaching. Can you imagine?
166
00:09:10.350 --> 00:09:12.450
They're all mesmerized
by what he's saying.
167
00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:16.080
Then verse 3: then they came
168
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.820 line:15%
to him bringing a paralytic who was carried
169
00:09:20.820 --> 00:09:22.590 line:15%
by four men.
170
00:09:24.180 --> 00:09:27.240 line:15%
And when they could not come near him
171
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.490 line:15%
because of the crowd, they,
172
00:09:29.490 --> 00:09:31.860 line:15%
they uncovered the roof where he was.
173
00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:36.180 line:15%
Well, let's go back to these 4 men and this paralytic.
174
00:09:36.180 --> 00:09:38.490 line:15%
So evidently,
175
00:09:38.490 --> 00:09:41.400 line:15%
the 4 men found out
176
00:09:41.400 --> 00:09:43.530 line:15%
that Jesus was in the house,
177
00:09:45.570 --> 00:09:47.970 line:15%
and they, but you know what,
178
00:09:47.970 --> 00:09:51.750 line:15%
they were late. They weren't the first ones.
179
00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:58.020 line:15%
And they get there and they
can't even get in the door.
180
00:09:58.020 --> 00:10:00.090
Now we're gonna call the man on the mat
181
00:10:00.090 --> 00:10:01.650
we're gonna call him John.
182
00:10:01.650 --> 00:10:04.170
And we're not - I'm not gonna name the 4 friends
183
00:10:04.170 --> 00:10:06.660
because then I have to remember their names correctly
184
00:10:06.660 --> 00:10:11.130
the whole time. we're just gonna call 'em 4-friends.
185
00:10:11.130 --> 00:10:15.000
But the 4-friends, they are carrying John,
186
00:10:16.680 --> 00:10:18.990
but they're probably, you know,
187
00:10:18.990 --> 00:10:20.610
okay, okay, we're almost there.
188
00:10:20.610 --> 00:10:22.535
Okay. Okay. We're almost
there. We're almost there.
189
00:10:22.535 --> 00:10:23.820
We're almost there. Almost there.
190
00:10:23.820 --> 00:10:28.350
And they get to the door
and they can't get in.
191
00:10:30.090 --> 00:10:34.620
Now, notice that the four
friends didn't say John,
192
00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:39.240
sorry, buddy, can't get in there.
193
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:42.330
I think we're gonna have to wait.
194
00:10:42.330 --> 00:10:44.880
You know, maybe he'll be there tomorrow.
195
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.100
Not these four friends,
these four friends,
196
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.040
they are so radical.
197
00:10:54.420 --> 00:10:56.160
And why are they radical?
198
00:10:57.900 --> 00:11:00.450
Because they love their friend
199
00:11:01.470 --> 00:11:05.340
and they know that there's no
200
00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:07.440
other option.
201
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:12.420
Come on, come on. They're
desperate. Yes, Lord.
202
00:11:12.420 --> 00:11:16.260
They've watched John, they see John.
203
00:11:16.260 --> 00:11:20.130
He can't move. He only lays on that bed.
204
00:11:20.130 --> 00:11:24.150
They wanna have fun with
John. They wanna be with John.
205
00:11:24.150 --> 00:11:26.340
They want John to have a good life.
206
00:11:26.340 --> 00:11:28.920
And John's life is just pitiful.
207
00:11:28.920 --> 00:11:33.300
It's just laying on that
mat day in and day out.
208
00:11:33.300 --> 00:11:37.800
And those friends, they
say, this is our chance.
209
00:11:37.800 --> 00:11:41.820
This is our only chance. Jesus
might not be here tomorrow.
210
00:11:41.820 --> 00:11:43.740
I know we can't get in that door,
211
00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:45.930
but we're gonna do something.
212
00:11:45.930 --> 00:11:48.750
And they look and there goes the stairs.
213
00:11:48.750 --> 00:11:51.150
They saw these stairs
going up to the roof.
214
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.250
You can imagine John.
215
00:11:54.250 --> 00:11:58.570
And now the four friends are carrying.
216
00:11:58.570 --> 00:12:00.490
So John is like this.
217
00:12:04.745 --> 00:12:09.100
And, and, and they're
friends are saying, John,
218
00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:10.300
hang on, hang on.
219
00:12:10.300 --> 00:12:13.990
We won't drop you. John,
don't drop me. Don't drop me.
220
00:12:13.990 --> 00:12:16.630
As they go up those stairs,
221
00:12:17.590 --> 00:12:20.890
finally they get to the up on the roof.
222
00:12:21.760 --> 00:12:24.790
John's probably thinking, oh my gosh,
223
00:12:24.790 --> 00:12:26.770
why did I even let 'em do this?
224
00:12:28.090 --> 00:12:29.590
And now they're on the roof.
225
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:35.830
And these four friends have this idea,
226
00:12:36.790 --> 00:12:40.540
well, let's just tear into the roof.
227
00:12:42.250 --> 00:12:46.030
Well, let's just make a hole in
228
00:12:46.030 --> 00:12:47.620
Jesus's house.
229
00:12:48.850 --> 00:12:53.230
He won't care. He
230
00:12:53.230 --> 00:12:54.550
loves everybody.
231
00:12:56.830 --> 00:12:59.020
Let's just tear up the roof.
232
00:13:01.570 --> 00:13:03.910
Can't even imagine what
John's thinking about,
233
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:09.960
because John knows, not only
has he come up the stairs,
234
00:13:10.210 --> 00:13:15.010
he's going to be lowered down with a rope.
235
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:17.320
Four ropes.
236
00:13:21.940 --> 00:13:25.780
There's John, he's watching his friends.
237
00:13:25.780 --> 00:13:30.430
There goes more straw,
more straw, more straw.
238
00:13:30.430 --> 00:13:32.530
Maybe they bang it into some clay.
239
00:13:32.530 --> 00:13:34.180
I don't know what their roofs are made of.
240
00:13:35.980 --> 00:13:37.450
And there's the holes.
241
00:13:39.430 --> 00:13:42.460
And John's like, oh,
great. There's the hole.
242
00:13:42.460 --> 00:13:44.110
They're gonna lower me down now.
243
00:13:45.670 --> 00:13:49.810
And all those people in that room crammed together,
244
00:13:50.950 --> 00:13:54.760
crammed together, mesmerized
245
00:13:54.760 --> 00:13:56.740
by Jesus teaching.
246
00:13:56.740 --> 00:13:58.570
All of the sudden,
247
00:13:58.570 --> 00:14:02.470
all these particles start
dropping on their heads.
248
00:14:05.645 --> 00:14:07.180
And, and they're like,
249
00:14:10.060 --> 00:14:13.900
what is going on, Harriet?
250
00:14:13.900 --> 00:14:18.305
It's a man. They're lowering him down
251
00:14:20.680 --> 00:14:23.200
and trying to wipe the
dust outta their eyes.
252
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:27.490
And there's Jesus. And
look what Jesus says.
253
00:14:31.300 --> 00:14:34.390
So when they could co not come near him,
254
00:14:34.390 --> 00:14:36.670
because the roof, the crowd,
255
00:14:36.670 --> 00:14:38.800 line:15%
they uncovered the roof where he was.
256
00:14:38.800 --> 00:14:40.660 line:15%
So when they had broken through,
257
00:14:40.660 --> 00:14:45.250 line:15%
they let down the bed on
which the paralytic was lying.
258
00:14:46.570 --> 00:14:51.260 line:15%
So if you can imagine the 4-ropes, the mat
259
00:14:51.260 --> 00:14:54.800 line:15%
and John now in midair, coming down,
260
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:57.830 line:15%
coming down, coming down, coming down,
261
00:14:57.830 --> 00:14:59.930 line:15%
coming down, coming down, coming down.
262
00:14:59.930 --> 00:15:03.200 line:15%
And there he is in front of Jesus.
263
00:15:07.010 --> 00:15:12.010
In verse 5: When Jesus saw
264
00:15:12.260 --> 00:15:17.150
their faith. It doesn't say when Jesus
265
00:15:17.150 --> 00:15:19.460
saw the hole in the roof,
266
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:25.250
when Jesus saw the paralytic,
267
00:15:25.250 --> 00:15:27.140
when Jesus saw
268
00:15:27.140 --> 00:15:30.410
and heard everybody screaming
about the man coming
269
00:15:30.410 --> 00:15:35.030
through the roof, or he's
bothered by the particles
270
00:15:35.030 --> 00:15:39.140
that are in his hair, there
was one thing Jesus saw.
271
00:15:41.195 --> 00:15:44.515
Their faith. Their faith.
272
00:15:47.090 --> 00:15:48.860
And I wanna tell you, friends,
273
00:15:49.730 --> 00:15:52.520
faith interrupts.
274
00:15:52.520 --> 00:15:57.520
When that man was lowered down
275
00:15:57.680 --> 00:16:01.430
by those four friends, their four,
276
00:16:01.430 --> 00:16:05.150
those four friends, their faith
277
00:16:05.150 --> 00:16:08.390
interrupted the whole teaching session.
278
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:17.300
Your faith will interrupt sickness, poverty,
279
00:16:17.300 --> 00:16:22.300
depression, fear, disease,
280
00:16:22.310 --> 00:16:25.790
terminal disease, it'll interrupt it.
281
00:16:26.655 --> 00:16:31.280
Excuse me, I'm here.
282
00:16:31.280 --> 00:16:32.300
Faith is here.
283
00:16:34.485 --> 00:16:38.630
And that faith is
284
00:16:38.630 --> 00:16:39.980
what Jesus saw.
285
00:16:39.980 --> 00:16:41.720
And it was that faith
286
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.030
that interrupted the
whole teaching session.
287
00:16:48.290 --> 00:16:53.120
He said to the paralytic: Jesus - Son,
288
00:16:54.230 --> 00:16:55.785 line:15%
your sins are forgiven you.
289
00:16:59.510 --> 00:17:01.640 line:15%
Now I thought this was a crippled person.
290
00:17:05.450 --> 00:17:07.640 line:15%
And Jesus calls him Son.
291
00:17:09.020 --> 00:17:12.650 line:15%
And if you study the gospels,
there's not many daughters
292
00:17:12.650 --> 00:17:16.880 line:15%
and sons mentioned every time there's,
293
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:19.400 line:15%
there is a couple of
daughter, one for sure,
294
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:20.870 line:15%
the woman with issue of blood.
295
00:17:20.870 --> 00:17:22.370 line:15%
He calls her daughter,
296
00:17:23.600 --> 00:17:25.580 line:15%
he calls the little girl
erase from the dead.
297
00:17:25.580 --> 00:17:27.650 line:15%
He calls her little girl,
298
00:17:28.670 --> 00:17:30.950
but he calls this man
299
00:17:30.950 --> 00:17:34.670
or boy, we don't know his age, son.
300
00:17:36.410 --> 00:17:38.840
And he says - Your sins are for forgiven you.
301
00:17:40.790 --> 00:17:42.680
If this moment,
302
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:46.520
Jesus is not looking at
his crippled condition,
303
00:17:46.520 --> 00:17:48.110
he's looking at his heart.
304
00:17:51.840 --> 00:17:56.595
And, and we don't know I can,
305
00:17:56.595 --> 00:18:01.595
I have my own thoughts why Jesus said - Son,
306
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:03.660
your sins are forgiven you.
307
00:18:03.660 --> 00:18:05.460
But what did this boy do?
308
00:18:06.540 --> 00:18:11.010
And was he carrying so much
guilt that he wouldn't, he,
309
00:18:11.010 --> 00:18:15.000
he would've interrupted
the faith of his friends
310
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:20.000
to receive the healing
that he didn't feel worthy
311
00:18:20.430 --> 00:18:21.510
to be healed.
312
00:18:22.770 --> 00:18:27.330
But Jesus wanted to interrupt
that thought process
313
00:18:27.330 --> 00:18:31.410
and say, Son, your sins
314
00:18:31.410 --> 00:18:33.060
are forgiven you.
315
00:18:33.060 --> 00:18:37.860
Wow. Jesus wanted to make it a clear place
316
00:18:39.210 --> 00:18:40.950
for his power to work.
317
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.660
You know, many years ago,
318
00:18:45.660 --> 00:18:49.800
because this reminds me
of my own testimony, how
319
00:18:49.800 --> 00:18:51.930
that Jesus makes a clear place.
320
00:18:53.550 --> 00:18:54.570
When I was 12
321
00:18:54.570 --> 00:18:56.460
or 13 years old, I began
322
00:18:56.460 --> 00:18:59.220
to have a horrible disease on my face.
323
00:18:59.220 --> 00:19:01.350
It wasn't like teenage pimples.
324
00:19:01.350 --> 00:19:03.300
I hate that word, but it wasn't that.
325
00:19:03.300 --> 00:19:06.870
These were sores that go
through every single layer
326
00:19:06.870 --> 00:19:08.775
of the face and,
327
00:19:10.950 --> 00:19:15.060
and it's painful trying to treat it.
328
00:19:15.060 --> 00:19:16.620
It bruises.
329
00:19:16.620 --> 00:19:20.520
I went to treatments to the doctor
330
00:19:20.520 --> 00:19:22.440
for dry ice treatments.
331
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:25.020
Can you imagine putting
dry ice on your face?
332
00:19:26.070 --> 00:19:27.840
I was in high school.
333
00:19:27.840 --> 00:19:31.500
They, it would, it would crust up.
334
00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:34.440
My face looked like the crater of the moon.
335
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:37.050
Of course, I didn't
feel like I was as good
336
00:19:37.050 --> 00:19:41.400
as any everybody else in the
school because of my face.
337
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:43.500
And I kept going to the doctors
338
00:19:43.500 --> 00:19:45.870
and going to the doctors
taking their medicine.
339
00:19:45.870 --> 00:19:48.570
I was much like the woman
with the issue of blood.
340
00:19:48.570 --> 00:19:50.430
I just kept giving my money out.
341
00:19:50.430 --> 00:19:54.090
And I didn't get any
better. I just grew worse.
342
00:19:54.090 --> 00:19:56.610
It went on for 13 years.
343
00:19:56.610 --> 00:19:59.580
After 13 years, you begin to think, well,
344
00:19:59.580 --> 00:20:03.630
this sickness is gonna, it's
gonna be with me all my life.
345
00:20:04.770 --> 00:20:08.820
You look at it in the mirror,
I try to treat it, it bruises.
346
00:20:08.820 --> 00:20:11.430
It's painful, it's embarrassing.
347
00:20:11.430 --> 00:20:13.860
I didn't get singing jobs because of it.
348
00:20:13.860 --> 00:20:15.780
I didn't get jobs because of it.
349
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:21.390
And, but one morning I
was listening to the radio
350
00:20:21.390 --> 00:20:24.480
and there was a radio preacher on there.
351
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:28.800
And maybe I had heard Isaiah 53:5 before,
352
00:20:28.800 --> 00:20:33.300
but that day I heard Isaiah 53:5.
353
00:20:33.300 --> 00:20:37.560
That day when that preacher
said, by the stripes of Jesus,
354
00:20:37.560 --> 00:20:39.300
you are healed,
355
00:20:39.300 --> 00:20:42.600
that day hope came into my heart.
356
00:20:42.600 --> 00:20:46.860
Now, what does hope look like?
For my heart and my soul
357
00:20:46.860 --> 00:20:51.730
at that time hope meant you mean I,
358
00:20:51.730 --> 00:20:56.020
me, Denise Roberson, little Denise Roberson.
359
00:20:56.020 --> 00:20:58.810
I can be healed and I've had this disease.
360
00:20:58.810 --> 00:21:01.990
13 years? I can be healed?
361
00:21:03.460 --> 00:21:05.980
And hope came in my heart.
362
00:21:05.980 --> 00:21:07.630
I didn't know anything about healing.
363
00:21:07.630 --> 00:21:09.130
I didn't know anything about confession.
364
00:21:09.130 --> 00:21:11.560
I didn't know any of those kind of things,
365
00:21:11.560 --> 00:21:13.930
but I just did what the preacher said.
366
00:21:13.930 --> 00:21:15.760
He said the heart to start confessing.
367
00:21:15.760 --> 00:21:18.250
So every morning, every evening,
368
00:21:18.250 --> 00:21:21.160
whenever I looked in the mirror, I would speak to the mirror
369
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:23.710
and I'd say, by the stripes of Jesus, I healed.
370
00:21:23.710 --> 00:21:27.790
I'd sing, By the stripes of Jesus, I'm healed every, I mean,
371
00:21:27.790 --> 00:21:29.680
I don't know how many times a day.
372
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:31.870
I didn't see anything get better.
373
00:21:33.340 --> 00:21:36.760
Two months went by, no changes.
374
00:21:36.760 --> 00:21:38.110
And I was in my car
375
00:21:38.110 --> 00:21:40.270
and I was listening to
another radio preacher
376
00:21:41.710 --> 00:21:46.390
and she said, do you really want
377
00:21:46.390 --> 00:21:47.620
to be healed?
378
00:21:49.390 --> 00:21:52.270
Now we're talking about
getting to the root here,
379
00:21:52.270 --> 00:21:54.160
because Jesus went to the root.
380
00:21:56.050 --> 00:22:00.555
And when she said that, well,
381
00:22:00.555 --> 00:22:02.200
let me explain something.
382
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:05.170
My mother was very,
very busy and she worked
383
00:22:05.170 --> 00:22:06.430
and she worked hard.
384
00:22:06.430 --> 00:22:08.080
And the only time I would get
385
00:22:08.080 --> 00:22:11.410
with my mom was when she'd
take me to the doctor
386
00:22:11.410 --> 00:22:15.730
and we would drive several miles
387
00:22:15.730 --> 00:22:18.310
and she of course felt sorry for me
388
00:22:18.310 --> 00:22:20.560
because of all this treatment stuff.
389
00:22:20.560 --> 00:22:22.780
She bought me a oatmeal cookie.
390
00:22:22.780 --> 00:22:24.190
We didn't have sweets in our house.
391
00:22:24.190 --> 00:22:26.110
I still remember it to this day.
392
00:22:26.110 --> 00:22:29.200
And it's so I got attention from her.
393
00:22:31.150 --> 00:22:35.110
And when that radio
preacher said, do you really
394
00:22:35.110 --> 00:22:36.940
want to be healed?
395
00:22:36.940 --> 00:22:40.480
The Holy Spirit with laser focus revealed
396
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:42.220
what was in my soul.
397
00:22:42.220 --> 00:22:46.810
I had gravitated to wanting
attention because of my face.
398
00:22:46.810 --> 00:22:49.240
because of the disease.
399
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:53.560
And when he, when she said, do
you really want to be healed?
400
00:22:53.560 --> 00:22:56.560
And the Holy Spirit showed
what was in my heart.
401
00:22:56.560 --> 00:22:59.590
I said, yes, Lord, I, I repent right now.
402
00:22:59.590 --> 00:23:04.180
I don't want anybody's attention. I want to be healed.
403
00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:09.190
It was just a couple of weeks
later, I went to bed one night
404
00:23:09.190 --> 00:23:11.800
with all this disease
that was on my forehead
405
00:23:11.800 --> 00:23:13.870
and my cheeks and in my neck.
406
00:23:13.870 --> 00:23:18.670
I went to bed that night,
just like any night.
407
00:23:18.670 --> 00:23:20.860
I woke up the next morning
408
00:23:20.860 --> 00:23:24.700
and my face was completely healed.
409
00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:31.120
My cheeks, my cheeks were
clear, my forehead was clear,
410
00:23:31.120 --> 00:23:33.160
my neck was clear.
411
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:34.960
I could slap my face.
412
00:23:38.170 --> 00:23:39.760
I don't know if he took 10 minutes.
413
00:23:39.760 --> 00:23:41.350
I don't know if he took one second.
414
00:23:41.350 --> 00:23:43.270 line:15%
I don't know if he took
eight hours of sleep.
415
00:23:43.270 --> 00:23:45.950 line:15%
I have no idea how it took.
416
00:23:45.950 --> 00:23:48.650 line:15%
All I know is I went to bed with a disease
417
00:23:48.650 --> 00:23:51.170 line:15%
and I woke up the next morning without one
418
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:59.180 line:15%
and and my face was so
filled with all this poison
419
00:23:59.180 --> 00:24:02.450 line:15%
and swelling that people
thought I lost 10 pounds.
420
00:24:02.450 --> 00:24:06.380 line:15%
That's how bad it was. But that next morning, it's all gone.
421
00:24:07.610 --> 00:24:10.760 line:15%
The problem you are facing may feel huge,
422
00:24:10.760 --> 00:24:12.380 line:15%
but there is an answer.
423
00:24:12.380 --> 00:24:16.850 line:15%
And the bridge between the problem and that answer is faith.
424
00:24:16.850 --> 00:24:19.460 line:15%
When the paralytic man's friends were faced
425
00:24:19.460 --> 00:24:23.750 line:15%
with an obstacle, they found
a new way to get to Jesus.
426
00:24:23.750 --> 00:24:27.200 line:15%
When the crowd was telling
blind Bartimaeus to be quiet,
427
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.800 line:15%
he cried out all the more
in spite of their words.
428
00:24:30.800 --> 00:24:33.770 line:15%
Just like these men
pushed past the obstacles
429
00:24:33.770 --> 00:24:37.490 line:15%
that stood in their way,
it's time for you to overcome
430
00:24:37.490 --> 00:24:40.430 line:15%
what is holding you back. In her new series,

Jesus has to give you.
486

Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
487
00:27:26.550 --> 00:27:31.200 line:15%
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
488
00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:34.530 line:15%
and Lord. Wash away my sin
489
00:27:34.530 --> 00:27:37.170 line:15%

right to lay claim on me.

I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
493
00:27:49.620 --> 00:27:52.230

00:27:52.230 --> 00:27:53.230
