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
00:00:07.470 --> 00:00:10.170
Hello, friend. My name is Denise Renner
4
00:00:10.170 --> 00:00:14.700
and I am just truly grateful
that you're with me today.
5
00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:18.390
We've been studying aboutExpectant Hope,
6
00:00:18.390 --> 00:00:22.800
which is really the fire
underneath our faith.
7
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.850
And I gave you my
testimony how it was hope
8
00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:29.460
that first came into my heart,
9
00:00:29.460 --> 00:00:32.250
and faith came right on top of that.
10
00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:37.080
And I received a huge miracle
in my life on my faith.
11
00:00:37.080 --> 00:00:40.530
I'd had a disease for 13 years, and in one night
12
00:00:40.530 --> 00:00:44.730
after believing the word
of God, believing, starting
13
00:00:44.730 --> 00:00:49.230
with hope, and then faith came, I was...
14
00:00:49.230 --> 00:00:52.080
I don't know how long Jesus took in the middle of the night.
15
00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:54.930
I just know I went to bed
with that horrible sickness
16
00:00:54.930 --> 00:00:58.590
and disease on my
forehead, cheeks, and neck,
17
00:00:58.590 --> 00:01:00.300
and that I'd had it for 13 years.
18
00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:03.480
And I just know that I
woke up the next morning
19
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:05.130
and I was completely healed.
20
00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:09.480
Don't put aside your hope.
21
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:11.760
Your hope is very powerful.
22
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:16.380 line:15%
And I'm offering you today
this for the last time,
23
00:01:16.380 --> 00:01:20.520 line:15%
this 5-part video series, Expectant Hope,
24
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:23.310 line:15%
The Fire for Faith.
25
00:01:23.310 --> 00:01:26.670 line:15%
And it comes also with a study guide.
26
00:01:26.670 --> 00:01:28.560 line:15%
And I had the privilege
27
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:32.910
of teaching this at the wonderful Bible School
28
00:01:32.910 --> 00:01:36.120
Charis in the mountains of Colorado,
29
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.050
which is Andrew Womack's Ministry.
30
00:01:40.050 --> 00:01:42.300
And I taught this series,
31
00:01:42.300 --> 00:01:46.350 line:15%
and now we're talking about today, blind Bartimaeus.
32
00:01:46.350 --> 00:01:49.800 line:15%
But before we begin our
teaching, I wanna share
33
00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:51.390 line:15%
with you this testimony.
34
00:01:53.250 --> 00:01:55.590 line:15%
It says, I am happy to share
35
00:01:55.590 --> 00:01:59.130 line:15%
with you about my miraculous healing.
36
00:02:00.030 --> 00:02:01.410 line:15%
She said a month ago,
37
00:02:01.410 --> 00:02:05.190 line:15%
there was a special
healing prayer at church,
38
00:02:05.190 --> 00:02:09.720 line:15%
and Pastor Denise was there,
and I watched the recording
39
00:02:09.720 --> 00:02:11.520 line:15%
after the broadcast,
40
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:16.170
and I was receiving the
words of encouragement
41
00:02:16.170 --> 00:02:21.030
and teaching on faith. A week later,
42
00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:26.030
and to do this, my hip joint had stopped hurting.
43
00:02:26.130 --> 00:02:30.570
And a week later, her hip joints had stopped hurting.
44
00:02:30.570 --> 00:02:34.590
And she said she had been suffering from
45
00:02:34.590 --> 00:02:37.500
bilateral coxarthrosis
46
00:02:39.510 --> 00:02:43.410
in the first degree for two years:
47
00:02:43.410 --> 00:02:48.410
2 years and the Lord healed her completely.
48
00:02:48.690 --> 00:02:53.160
It was her faith in the miracle working
49
00:02:53.160 --> 00:02:54.300
power of God.
50
00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:56.460
And now she's healed.
51
00:02:56.460 --> 00:02:57.870
So I want you to stay with me
52
00:02:57.870 --> 00:03:02.870
because we're gonna talk about
this amazing Expectant Hope
53
00:03:03.100 --> 00:03:05.320
that ignites your faith.
54
00:03:06.790 --> 00:03:10.720 line:15%
It's time for big miracles
and changes in your life.
55
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:12.940
Join Denise Renner
56
00:03:12.940 --> 00:03:16.540 line:15%
and dive into the study of God's word which has great power
57
00:03:16.540 --> 00:03:20.620
to strengthen faith, inspire,
change, heal physically
58
00:03:20.620 --> 00:03:23.140 line:15%
and spiritually, and most importantly,
59
00:03:23.140 --> 00:03:24.610
help you learn about the power
60
00:03:24.610 --> 00:03:26.350
of Christ Jesus living in you.
61
00:03:27.430 --> 00:03:29.530 line:15%
It's time with Denise Renner.
62
00:03:32.350 --> 00:03:34.900
If we stay in our old identity,
63
00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:36.280
we're gonna stay in our past.
64
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.110
We're gonna stay in our insecurities,
65
00:03:38.110 --> 00:03:39.790
we're gonna stay in our weaknesses.
66
00:03:39.790 --> 00:03:43.090
and look at others
67
00:03:43.990 --> 00:03:45.430
as they move forward.
68
00:03:48.040 --> 00:03:50.680
And we stand with our excuses.
69
00:03:54.700 --> 00:03:56.785
Blind Bartimaeus threw aside that garment
70
00:03:59.865 --> 00:04:02.200
and he rose and he came to Jesus.
71
00:04:05.950 --> 00:04:07.090
So Jesus answered
72
00:04:07.090 --> 00:04:11.320
and said to him, what do
you want me to do for you?
73
00:04:12.370 --> 00:04:14.500 line:15%
Now students, I always -
74
00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:15.970
because I've been preaching a long time,
75
00:04:15.970 --> 00:04:19.480 line:15%
and I'd read that and I'd think, Jesus, of course, you know
76
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.040 line:15%
what he wants you to do for him.
77
00:04:24.010 --> 00:04:28.300 line:15%
But Jesus asked the question - What do you want me
78
00:04:28.300 --> 00:04:29.710 line:15%
to do for you?
79
00:04:31.510 --> 00:04:35.050 line:15%
And Jesus wanted to hear
it out of his mouth,
80
00:04:35.050 --> 00:04:36.550 line:15%
what he wanted.
81
00:04:36.550 --> 00:04:41.200 line:15%
Now students, I've been studying this
82
00:04:41.200 --> 00:04:44.830 line:15%
and meditating on this and,
83
00:04:44.830 --> 00:04:47.050
and in my own life, I've understood
84
00:04:48.490 --> 00:04:51.700
when I haven't spent enough time with God
85
00:04:51.700 --> 00:04:56.290 line:15%
to even honestly say to
him, this is what I want.
86
00:05:03.010 --> 00:05:06.490 line:15%
Not - Lord, well, Lord bless me,
87
00:05:06.490 --> 00:05:09.585 line:15%
Lord, thank you Lord.
88
00:05:10.630 --> 00:05:15.040 line:15%
Or we're not even honest,
honest enough to say,
89
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.110
Lord, I don't believe.
90
00:05:19.630 --> 00:05:23.200
If we can have an honest prayer with God
91
00:05:23.200 --> 00:05:27.670
and say, Lord, I'm sorry, I don't believe,
92
00:05:28.840 --> 00:05:30.460
then God can work with that.
93
00:05:30.460 --> 00:05:33.460
Yes. But if we stand there religiously
94
00:05:33.460 --> 00:05:35.560
and say, oh, bless me,
95
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.320
and in the back of our
mind we don't believe,
96
00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:41.410
and then we criticize
others for their belief
97
00:05:41.410 --> 00:05:42.730
or their blessing,
98
00:05:45.970 --> 00:05:48.910
it is better to just say,
99
00:05:48.910 --> 00:05:51.910
Lord, I don't believe.
100
00:05:52.870 --> 00:05:55.720
Forgive me. Forgive me, Lord.
101
00:05:57.350 --> 00:05:59.660
He can fall into that kind of prayer,
102
00:06:02.150 --> 00:06:03.860
because that's a relationship,
103
00:06:06.020 --> 00:06:09.410
just being religious and
saying, oh, bless me.
104
00:06:12.755 --> 00:06:15.650
It's not, it's a religion.
105
00:06:15.650 --> 00:06:18.710
It's not, it's not a relationship.
106
00:06:19.730 --> 00:06:21.590
Oh, friends, you've got needs in here.
107
00:06:21.590 --> 00:06:23.330
You've got desires in here.
108
00:06:25.340 --> 00:06:27.740
And God wants to know, what do you want?
109
00:06:30.380 --> 00:06:32.270
What do you want?
110
00:06:35.210 --> 00:06:36.650
You say, well, Lord, you know what I want?
111
00:06:36.650 --> 00:06:41.150
No, what do you really
want? What do you want?
112
00:06:43.370 --> 00:06:48.050 line:15%
And he said that to Blind Bartimaeus, what do you want?
113
00:06:53.750 --> 00:06:57.650
And the blind man said to him - Rabboni,
114
00:07:00.170 --> 00:07:02.060 line:15%
that I may receive my sight.
115
00:07:03.200 --> 00:07:07.850 line:15%
Very unreligious, very real,
116
00:07:09.050 --> 00:07:10.730 line:15%
very truthful,
117
00:07:13.730 --> 00:07:15.980 line:15%
very practical, short prayer.
118
00:07:20.420 --> 00:07:22.220 line:15%
Rabboni, I want to receive my sight.
119
00:07:24.890 --> 00:07:27.590 line:15%
You notice Blind Bartimaeus didn't say - Well, you know,
120
00:07:27.590 --> 00:07:28.820 line:15%
Jesus, it's just been awful.
121
00:07:28.820 --> 00:07:30.380
I'm telling you what, being a blind man
122
00:07:30.380 --> 00:07:31.850
and being a, being a beggar,
123
00:07:31.850 --> 00:07:35.090
and then all these people
yelling at me, well, Lord,
124
00:07:35.090 --> 00:07:36.230
I just ask you to bless me.
125
00:07:38.810 --> 00:07:42.200
He didn't say that. He said,
126
00:07:42.200 --> 00:07:44.360
I want my sight.
127
00:07:48.230 --> 00:07:52.400
Remember Hebrews 4:15 and 16 or 14
128
00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:57.230
and 15 - Come boldly before the throne of grace.
129
00:07:57.230 --> 00:08:00.230
It's not a throne of faith,
it's a throne of grace
130
00:08:00.230 --> 00:08:05.000
that you may receive mercy
and help in your time of need.
131
00:08:06.110 --> 00:08:09.320
And the verse before that says
that He's not a high priest
132
00:08:09.320 --> 00:08:12.530
that cannot be touched
with our infirmities,
133
00:08:12.530 --> 00:08:16.580
but was in all points
tempted just as we are.
134
00:08:16.580 --> 00:08:20.690
He absolutely identifies with us.
135
00:08:20.690 --> 00:08:22.520
He wants us to come to him
136
00:08:22.520 --> 00:08:25.790
and say, Lord, this is what I want.
137
00:08:33.260 --> 00:08:37.370
Then Jesus said to him, Go your way,
138
00:08:37.370 --> 00:08:40.430 line:15%
your faith has made you well.
139
00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:47.210 line:15%
Jesus didn't say, go your way.
140
00:08:47.210 --> 00:08:52.190 line:15%
My great power has healed You.
141
00:08:55.290 --> 00:08:57.270 line:15%
Remember, it's a relationship.
142
00:08:59.160 --> 00:09:01.920
Jesus heard him screaming.
143
00:09:03.270 --> 00:09:06.900
Jesus knew he didn't
even know what direction
144
00:09:06.900 --> 00:09:08.490
to point his voice.
145
00:09:09.570 --> 00:09:13.080 line:15%
Jesus saw him throw his garment.
146
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.810 line:15%
Jesus saw his faith.
147
00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:24.720 line:15%
And Jesus said - your faith.
148
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:29.520 line:15%
He could have said it was my great power,
149
00:09:31.615 --> 00:09:34.740 line:15%
but he said, it's your faith.
150
00:09:37.590 --> 00:09:40.470 line:15%
The woman with the issue of blood, great miracle.
151
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:47.360
And Jesus could have said,
oh yes, it's my great power
152
00:09:47.430 --> 00:09:51.540
and my patience and everything...
153
00:09:51.540 --> 00:09:54.030
He said, it's your faith.
154
00:09:56.910 --> 00:10:01.080
He's admonishing us. He's encouraging us.
155
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.150
He's he's relationship.
156
00:10:03.150 --> 00:10:07.290
He's saying, you believe, you believe
157
00:10:07.290 --> 00:10:08.370
it's your faith.
158
00:10:10.350 --> 00:10:14.785
And Blind Bartimaeus, he stood there
159
00:10:16.815 --> 00:10:20.423 line:15%
and he could see, and Jesus says,
160
00:10:20.423 --> 00:10:22.673 line:15%
your faith Blind Bartimaeus
161
00:10:24.925 --> 00:10:27.030 line:15%
go, go your way.
162
00:10:30.780 --> 00:10:32.010 line:15%
It's not hard.
163
00:10:33.900 --> 00:10:38.490 line:15%
I know that it might, it
like it takes work, work
164
00:10:38.490 --> 00:10:41.130 line:15%
to put down our thoughts and our emotions.
165
00:10:41.130 --> 00:10:45.210 line:15%
Takes work, takes time to, for us
166
00:10:45.210 --> 00:10:46.980
to believe right,
167
00:10:46.980 --> 00:10:49.980
speak right, discipline ourselves.
168
00:10:49.980 --> 00:10:52.470
You're in this Bible school,
you're gonna learn all
169
00:10:52.470 --> 00:10:56.850
that already learning it so
170
00:10:56.850 --> 00:11:00.725 line:15%
that we believe,
171
00:11:05.010 --> 00:11:08.160
when we believe we're
172
00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:10.650
acknowledging who he is.
173
00:11:13.110 --> 00:11:16.410
When we are in doubts and
174
00:11:18.270 --> 00:11:22.290
don't believe,
175
00:11:22.290 --> 00:11:24.720
we're not acknowledging what he's done.
176
00:11:26.700 --> 00:11:30.840
But when we take the work,
177
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.210
he knows, he knows how we're tempted.
178
00:11:33.210 --> 00:11:35.010
He was tempted in the same way.
179
00:11:36.690 --> 00:11:39.660
I think that Jesus, in those
prayer times that he had,
180
00:11:39.660 --> 00:11:43.170
he was talking to the Father,
he was telling the Father,
181
00:11:43.170 --> 00:11:45.420
he was turning from things.
182
00:11:45.420 --> 00:11:46.770
He was tempted in the same way
183
00:11:46.770 --> 00:11:50.940
you are: fear, doubt, anger,
184
00:11:50.940 --> 00:11:53.200
hate, resentment.
185
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.210
What if you had those 12 disciples?
186
00:11:59.890 --> 00:12:01.510
And how about the people that come around
187
00:12:01.510 --> 00:12:05.920
and say, you're the prince of
demons or you're a drunkard.
188
00:12:07.060 --> 00:12:09.430
And that he, he, he didn't wanna slap 'em off the
189
00:12:09.430 --> 00:12:10.630 line:15%
side of the earth.
190
00:12:15.580 --> 00:12:20.580 line:15%
He's such our example that he,
191
00:12:21.190 --> 00:12:24.670 line:15%
he did the work, he spoke to the father,
192
00:12:24.670 --> 00:12:28.330 line:15%
he turned from sin, he
turned from temptation.
193
00:12:28.330 --> 00:12:31.150 line:15%
How many thousands of times.
194
00:12:31.150 --> 00:12:34.270
And we think that we don't
have to do that when that's
195
00:12:34.270 --> 00:12:35.530
what Jesus did,
196
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.270
or that we're better than Jesus
197
00:12:40.270 --> 00:12:43.030
and that we don't have to work on our mind
198
00:12:43.030 --> 00:12:44.500
or on our emotions
199
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.490
or turn from the opinions of others.
200
00:12:51.610 --> 00:12:56.110
Jesus had so much, I
believe he did, I believe
201
00:12:56.110 --> 00:12:59.410
inside he was smiling
when he said to the woman
202
00:12:59.410 --> 00:13:01.930
with the issue of blood - it's your faith.
203
00:13:02.980 --> 00:13:07.180
When he said to Blind Bartimaeus, it's your faith.
204
00:13:07.180 --> 00:13:08.470
It's your faith.
205
00:13:10.030 --> 00:13:13.390
I know that many of you experience many things from God.
206
00:13:15.250 --> 00:13:18.910
And, and yes, it was the
miraculous power of God,
207
00:13:18.910 --> 00:13:22.090
but it was your faith in
the miraculous power of God.
208
00:13:24.850 --> 00:13:27.280 line:15%
We believe in who we can't see.
209
00:13:29.050 --> 00:13:31.300 line:15%
We believe in who we can't touch.
210
00:13:32.470 --> 00:13:36.130
It says it, it says in Hebrews 11,
211
00:13:36.130 --> 00:13:37.240
that I love the scripture.
212
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:38.770
I just wanna turn there
and read it with you
213
00:13:38.770 --> 00:13:41.560
because it just touches my heart
214
00:13:41.560 --> 00:13:43.720
so many times over and over again.
215
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:45.760
And it's about, it's about Moses
216
00:13:48.730 --> 00:13:51.520
and it's verse 27 of Hebrews 11.
217
00:13:51.520 --> 00:13:56.520
And it says, by faith, he forsook Egypt.
218
00:13:56.860 --> 00:14:01.330 line:15%
Now that was huge to do that:
all that power, all that fame,
219
00:14:01.330 --> 00:14:06.330 line:15%
all that glory, not fearing
the wrath of the king
220
00:14:07.030 --> 00:14:11.410 line:15%
for he endured, has seen him
221
00:14:11.410 --> 00:14:12.243
who is
222
00:14:12.243 --> 00:14:16.920 line:15%
invisible God.
223
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:20.255 line:15%
Oh, thank you God.
224
00:14:22.990 --> 00:14:27.460 line:15%
He endured as seeing him
225
00:14:27.460 --> 00:14:28.720
who is invisible.
226
00:14:32.860 --> 00:14:35.320
But through the power of the Holy Spirit,
227
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.980
through your imagination, we begin to see
228
00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:46.660
what is true and it becomes real.
229
00:14:48.460 --> 00:14:53.210
And we start living in it.
We start saying yes to it.
230
00:14:53.210 --> 00:14:54.470
Are you with me?
231
00:14:54.470 --> 00:14:58.970
Yes, we start, yes, we say
yes to the invisible God.
232
00:14:58.970 --> 00:15:01.970 line:15%
We say yes because of the power of the Holy Spirit on the
233
00:15:01.970 --> 00:15:04.460 line:15%
inside of us and the faith that he's put on the
234
00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:05.660 line:15%
inside of us.
235
00:15:09.350 --> 00:15:14.225
Blind Bartimaeus could not see Jesus.
236
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:20.480
He didn't even know where to look,
237
00:15:24.560 --> 00:15:26.990
but he believed
238
00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:30.800
that he would
239
00:15:30.800 --> 00:15:31.800
see.
240
00:15:39.650 --> 00:15:43.280
There's things in this room.
241
00:15:43.280 --> 00:15:47.990
Some of you, you haven't
been able to see it,
242
00:15:50.390 --> 00:15:51.710
but it's okay.
243
00:15:52.755 --> 00:15:57.650
You've got it. You've got it right here.
244
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:01.700
You've got it right here.
245
00:16:01.700 --> 00:16:03.950
I've listened to Andrew, I
told you I've listened to him
246
00:16:03.950 --> 00:16:05.480
for hours and hours and hours.
247
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.250
I've heard him say out over
248
00:16:07.250 --> 00:16:09.710
and over again how he
walked through this building
249
00:16:09.710 --> 00:16:11.180
and the building wasn't even there.
250
00:16:11.180 --> 00:16:12.380
How he opened the door
251
00:16:12.380 --> 00:16:15.200
and the door wasn't there.
How he sat there and preached
252
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:16.370
and there were no people there.
253
00:16:18.050 --> 00:16:20.330
You know, if you looked at that in the natural,
254
00:16:20.330 --> 00:16:22.400
you'd think that was somebody nutty,
255
00:16:22.400 --> 00:16:26.870
right? But as he always says, I think you're the,
256
00:16:26.870 --> 00:16:28.085
I think you're the weird one
257
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:36.680
to believe this is
258
00:16:36.680 --> 00:16:38.120
our life,
259
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:42.710 line:15%
students; the world,
260
00:16:42.710 --> 00:16:47.450 line:15%
the world is the world so teaches us the wrong ways.
261
00:16:47.450 --> 00:16:49.220
It even teaches you
262
00:16:49.220 --> 00:16:51.770
and congratulates you if you get sick.
263
00:16:55.820 --> 00:16:58.010
And if you're well, you're weird.
264
00:17:03.705 --> 00:17:06.260
If you're my age
265
00:17:06.260 --> 00:17:09.320
and you don't take any medication, what's wrong with you?
266
00:17:12.555 --> 00:17:17.510
That's weird. No, that's normal.
267
00:17:21.290 --> 00:17:22.790
To be healthy is normal.
268
00:17:26.510 --> 00:17:28.280
When you think about what Jesus did for us,
269
00:17:31.040 --> 00:17:31.873 line:15%
it's normal
270
00:17:36.290 --> 00:17:37.310 line:15%
to believe,
271
00:17:38.630 --> 00:17:39.830 line:15%
to use our faith.
272
00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:42.950 line:15%
Like those four friends
273
00:17:42.950 --> 00:17:47.030 line:15%
and like Blind Bartimaeus, all five
274
00:17:47.030 --> 00:17:51.930 line:15%
of them did not have what
they wanted in front of them,
275
00:17:55.290 --> 00:17:59.670
but their faith opened up the place.
276
00:17:59.670 --> 00:18:02.460
Remember from the last session, your faith
277
00:18:02.460 --> 00:18:06.660
or maybe this session, your faith - it is a place.
278
00:18:07.620 --> 00:18:09.960
It is a place. Here's the problem.
279
00:18:10.950 --> 00:18:15.150
Here's the place of faith. Here's the answer.
280
00:18:16.410 --> 00:18:18.570
The problem is very real,
281
00:18:20.460 --> 00:18:22.260
but the answer's very real.
282
00:18:22.260 --> 00:18:26.910
But how did you get from
the problem to the answer?
283
00:18:28.925 --> 00:18:30.195
Faith.
284
00:18:31.285 --> 00:18:33.930
Faith, faith in what God is doing,
285
00:18:33.930 --> 00:18:35.220
faith in what God has done.
286
00:18:38.070 --> 00:18:40.320
We started out with Ephesians.
287
00:18:40.320 --> 00:18:42.750
It says, Ephesians 1:
288
00:18:42.750 --> 00:18:44.490
it says, the exceeding greatness
289
00:18:44.490 --> 00:18:48.150
of his power is toward us right now,
290
00:18:48.150 --> 00:18:50.820
this minute, the exceeding greatness
291
00:18:50.820 --> 00:18:53.430 line:15%
of his power is toward us
292
00:18:53.430 --> 00:18:57.570 line:15%
who believe. Right now.
293
00:18:58.590 --> 00:19:02.880 line:15%
Right now. Right now. Say right now. Right now.
294
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:07.080
The exceeding great. Oh, exceeding greatness.
295
00:19:07.080 --> 00:19:10.470
Exceeding greatness. Somebody's reaching out and taking it.
296
00:19:10.470 --> 00:19:11.970
Exceeding greatness.
297
00:19:11.970 --> 00:19:14.880
The exceeding greatness, exceeding greatness
298
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:19.880
of his power towards us who believe right now,
299
00:19:19.980 --> 00:19:23.640
according to the working of his mighty power; not according
300
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.370
to you, according to the working of his mighty power.
301
00:19:27.270 --> 00:19:31.020
Oh, hallelujah.
302
00:19:32.190 --> 00:19:35.160
Hallelujah. Well stand
to your feet please.
303
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:43.110
There is someone in here
304
00:19:43.110 --> 00:19:46.500 line:15%
and you had, have had
tremendous problems right
305
00:19:46.500 --> 00:19:48.090 line:15%
here in your back.
306
00:19:49.140 --> 00:19:50.550 line:15%
And I don't know what's going on,
307
00:19:50.550 --> 00:19:53.160 line:15%
and I don't know all those terminologies,
308
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:55.170 line:15%
but I know that the power of God is there.
309
00:19:56.970 --> 00:19:59.400 line:15%
If you'll reach out and take it right now,
310
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:02.430 line:15%
start bending over, do what you can't do.
311
00:20:02.430 --> 00:20:03.990 line:15%
You're gonna see the power of God on you.
312
00:20:06.600 --> 00:20:09.630
If that happens to you, I want you to scream out
313
00:20:09.630 --> 00:20:10.740 line:15%
like Blind Bartimaeus,
314
00:20:10.740 --> 00:20:14.625 line:15%
just scream out.
315
00:20:19.005 --> 00:20:22.950
You have you. You're doing
something you can't do. Sir.
316
00:20:22.950 --> 00:20:24.330
Are you doing something you can't do?
317
00:20:26.730 --> 00:20:28.695
I'm struggling with motivating,
318
00:20:28.695 --> 00:20:32.040
but I'm being able to do it twice but decree my
319
00:20:32.040 --> 00:20:33.040
healing.
320
00:20:33.040 --> 00:20:34.020
I have it. - Okay.
321
00:20:34.020 --> 00:20:38.280
Somebody received a
manifestation of his power,
322
00:20:38.280 --> 00:20:39.840
your faith took it,
323
00:20:43.530 --> 00:20:44.910
and you're bending over, you're doing
324
00:20:44.910 --> 00:20:46.260
something you can't do.
325
00:20:48.580 --> 00:20:50.560 line:15%
Power of God's moving in this place. Yes.
326
00:20:56.350 --> 00:20:59.380 line:15%
Power of God's moving in
this place and there's,
327
00:20:59.380 --> 00:21:00.550 line:15%
and there's somebody
328
00:21:00.550 --> 00:21:02.320
and you've had a rash
329
00:21:02.320 --> 00:21:04.540 line:15%
that you have not been able to get rid of.
330
00:21:04.540 --> 00:21:07.360 line:15%
And it's right here. It's right here.
331
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.080
And the power of God
is on you to heal you.
332
00:21:13.180 --> 00:21:16.330
So Lord, I thank you for that power
333
00:21:17.410 --> 00:21:20.110 line:15%
and that you've given us our faith
334
00:21:21.940 --> 00:21:24.670 line:15%
we receive right now.
335
00:21:24.670 --> 00:21:27.040 line:15%
Thank you Lord. Thank you Lord.
336
00:21:27.040 --> 00:21:30.700 line:15%
We receive in Jesus' name.
337
00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:32.493
Amen.
338
00:21:40.505 --> 00:21:45.255 line:15%
Thank you students: love you all. Thank you everybody.
339
00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:50.890 line:15%
The problem you are facing may feel huge,
340
00:21:50.890 --> 00:21:52.510 line:15%
but there is an answer.
341
00:21:52.510 --> 00:21:56.890 line:15%
And the bridge between the problem and that answer is faith.
342
00:21:56.890 --> 00:21:59.590 line:15%
When the paralytic
man's friends were faced
343
00:21:59.590 --> 00:22:03.880 line:15%
with an obstacle, they found
a new way to get to Jesus.
344
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.330
When the crowd was telling
blind Bartimaeus to be quiet,
345
00:22:07.330 --> 00:22:10.930
he cried out all the more
in spite of their words.
346
00:22:10.930 --> 00:22:13.900

pushed past the obstacles

Friend, was that a powerful teaching?
378
00:23:43.600 --> 00:23:45.590
I love to think about
379
00:23:45.590 --> 00:23:49.490
when Blind Bartimaeus threw aside
380
00:23:49.490 --> 00:23:53.780
that garment. He couldn't see
381
00:23:54.830 --> 00:23:57.860
and that garment represented
382
00:23:58.820 --> 00:24:00.350
his food.
383
00:24:00.350 --> 00:24:04.130
It re represented a right to beg it.
384
00:24:04.130 --> 00:24:07.310
It said to everybody they
could feel sorry for him
385
00:24:07.310 --> 00:24:09.200
because he was blind.
386
00:24:10.220 --> 00:24:11.930
That was his identity.
387
00:24:13.280 --> 00:24:17.840
And for him to throw that aside. Can I tell you something?
388
00:24:19.280 --> 00:24:23.180
I was asked one day when
I had a terrible disease.
389
00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:26.810
I was asked one day
through a radio preacher,
390
00:24:26.810 --> 00:24:29.480
the Holy Spirit asked me
391
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:34.160
and he said - Do you really want to be healed?
392
00:24:35.600 --> 00:24:40.580
And when the Holy Spirit
said that to me, it revealed
393
00:24:40.580 --> 00:24:42.050
what was in my heart.
394
00:24:42.050 --> 00:24:44.930
And what was in my heart was
395
00:24:44.930 --> 00:24:49.430
that I wanted the attention that I got
396
00:24:49.430 --> 00:24:51.320
because of that disease.
397
00:24:52.220 --> 00:24:54.710
I'm not the only one that has done that
398
00:24:55.850 --> 00:24:58.640
because a lot of people,
399
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:03.230
because of their ailment,
they do get attention.
400
00:25:03.230 --> 00:25:06.170
And we have to be really careful
401
00:25:06.170 --> 00:25:11.030
that we don't just embrace our sickness
402
00:25:11.030 --> 00:25:13.610
because we get attention.
403
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:18.260
Now, if I'm stepping on
somebody's toes, I'm sorry,
404
00:25:18.260 --> 00:25:20.690
but that's what happened to me.
405
00:25:20.690 --> 00:25:22.640
And I've talked to other people
406
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:25.340
and they said, that's what happened to me.
407
00:25:25.340 --> 00:25:27.710
And when I repented
408
00:25:27.710 --> 00:25:30.710
and I said, Lord, I don't
want anybody's attention,
409
00:25:31.610 --> 00:25:33.560
I want to be healed.
410
00:25:33.560 --> 00:25:36.110
It was just a few weeks later
411
00:25:36.110 --> 00:25:38.990
and I was completely
healed of that disease.
412
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:44.570
Blind Bartimaeus, when he threw aside that garment,
413
00:25:45.530 --> 00:25:50.530
he was saying, I don't want
anybody's attention anymore.
414
00:25:51.020 --> 00:25:54.920
I wanna be healed. I wanna
see, I wanna get a job.
415
00:25:56.150 --> 00:26:00.260
I'm done with this. Oh, that
was a powerful statement.
416
00:26:00.260 --> 00:26:04.820
Somebody needs to say right
now in your heart, I'm done
417
00:26:04.820 --> 00:26:05.900
with this.
418
00:26:05.900 --> 00:26:09.920
I am done with this. I'm done
with embracing my sickness.
419
00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:12.560
I'm done with talking about my sickness.
420
00:26:12.560 --> 00:26:15.350
I'm done with thinking about my sickness.
421
00:26:15.350 --> 00:26:17.000
And I'm gonna start thinking
422
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:19.070
and embracing the power
423
00:26:19.070 --> 00:26:23.240
of God like blind Bartimaeus did. Friend,
424
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:26.360
I'm telling you, if you take that stance of faith,
425
00:26:26.360 --> 00:26:28.370
you will receive.
426
00:26:28.370 --> 00:26:29.990
You can't stop though.
427
00:26:29.990 --> 00:26:33.230
If you don't receive it on
the first day, you can't stop.
428
00:26:33.230 --> 00:26:38.230
You gotta continue with
that kind of attitude
429
00:26:38.810 --> 00:26:42.350
that that person that
got healed that I read
430
00:26:42.350 --> 00:26:44.610
to you about, they didn't.
431
00:26:44.610 --> 00:26:47.040
They, they believed.
432
00:26:47.040 --> 00:26:50.010
They went and they listened
again to the teaching.
433
00:26:50.010 --> 00:26:52.470
They went and watched again, the teaching.
434
00:26:52.470 --> 00:26:56.580
They didn't say, okay, I
heard it. I didn't get it.
435
00:26:56.580 --> 00:27:00.990
No faith in, in their heart.
436
00:27:00.990 --> 00:27:04.230
And they said, I'm pursuing this.
437
00:27:05.700 --> 00:27:08.790
I'm gonna receive what God has for me.
438
00:27:08.790 --> 00:27:12.240
And this is gonna..this is gonna encourage you,

If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
451
00:27:47.790 --> 00:27:52.790 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
452
00:27:52.950 --> 00:27:55.170
Jesus has to give you.
453
00:27:55.170 --> 00:27:59.490
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
454
00:27:59.490 --> 00:28:04.170
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
455
00:28:04.170 --> 00:28:07.500
and Lord. Wash away my sin
456
00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:10.110
and make me completely new.
457
00:28:10.110 --> 00:28:12.405
I thank you that my sin is removed
458
00:28:12.405 --> 00:28:17.405
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
459
00:28:17.550 --> 00:28:22.550
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
460
00:28:22.590 --> 00:28:25.200
for the rest of my life.
461
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:26.033
Amen.
