Sermon Tone Analysis

The Fourth Dimension Part 4

Story: 23 year old Sarah A Can of Pillsbury Biscuits

Perception Affects Reception

Man with one gift (Matt.25)

Woman at the well (John 4)

Perception does not change God, it limits my capacity to receive.

JESUS AT NAZARETH Mark 6:5

Perception Affects Reaction

Story: David Cho mother and salvation

Merchant found gold in midst of garbage (Matt.13:45)

Simeon saw king in the kid (Luke 2:25-32)

Anoint your eyes that you may see (Rev.3:18)

God’s presence changed Jacob’s perception of his brother (Genesis 33:10)

1 Samuel 31:13 “Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.”

Calendar can’t change your life, Creator does, and He uses prayer and fasting as vehicles to reposition us for that change.

Remove the corpse from the wall of your mind.

Shake off the dust (Luke 9:5) (Acts 18:6-10)

Remember Lot’s wife (Luke 17:32) Legs carried her out, her head was behind

No smell of fire (Daniel 3:27) God did not stop the fire, he stopped the fire from killing them!

Example: James Garfield, 20th President of USA.

1881 He was assassinated 4 months into the office on the train.

Recovered but could not find bullet.

Alexander Grandbell used electrical device. 2 months later he died from infection that developed from probing around the bullet!

Example: Healing of bladder cancer.

Healing white cells attacking cancer cells

Where the corpse is there will be vultures (Luke 17:37)

It's as important to shoot down vultures as it is to bury the corpse.

PRAYER POINT:

Disconnect from your ex.

Dead people in the dream.

- Every corpse of sickness, disappoint and failure be removed and consumed by the Holy Ghost.

- Let the dead bones of heaviness be removed and consumed by fire in Jesus Christ’s name.

Every sickness that came into your life through the sin of your ancestors, be removed!

Let His name be glorified in your system - spirit, soul and body.

Let the power of Jesus Christ be released into your body.

Let the power of healing be released into every damaged part of your body and system.

Dear Mom and Dad,

It has now been three months since I left for college.

I am sorry for my thoughtlessness in not having written before.

I will bring you up to date but before you read on you had better sit down.

Okay?

I am getting along pretty well now.

The skull fracture and concussion I got when I jumped out of my apartment window when it caught fire after my arrival here is pretty well healed.

I only spent two weeks in the hospital and now I can see almost normally and only get these sick headaches once a day.

Fortunately the fire and my jump were witnessed by Roger an attendant at the gas station, and he was the one who called the fire department.

He also visited me in the hospital, and since I had nowhere to live he was kind enough to invite me to share his apartment with him.

He is a very fine man, and we are planning to get married.

We haven't set the date yet, but it will be before my pregnancy begins to show.

His divorce is final now, and he shares custody of his 3 children.

The reason for the delay in our marriage is that Roger has a minor infection which prevents us from passing our premarital blood tests, and I carelessly caught it from him.

This will soon clear up with the penicillin injections I am taking daily.

Now that I have brought you up to date I want to tell you that there was no fire, I did not have a concussion or skull fracture, I was not in the hospital, I am not pregnant, I am not engaged, I do not have syphillis, and there is no divorced man in my life.

However, I am getting a "D" in Art and an "F" in Biology and I wanted you to see these marks in the proper perspective.

Your loving daughter,

Jane
