Fighting PositionS 101 PART 3

Dare You 2 Believe

Mark 5:21–43 NKJV

21 Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. 22 And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet 23 and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” 24 So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him. 25 Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. 28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” 29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?” 31 But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ” 32 And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. 33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.” 35 While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” 36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.” 37 And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38 Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw a tumult and those who wept and wailed loudly. 39 When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping.” 40 And they ridiculed Him. But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying. 41 Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” 42 Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement. 43 But He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.

“Do not be afraid; only believe.”

Or Like the brother from the Movie Life. Don’t be scaredddd.

LOOSE THYSELF FROM FEAR

Fear is a paralyzing spirit that keeps people bound in many areas of their lives.

This spirit manifests itself in numerous ways: fear of rejection (works with rejection and self-rejection), fear of hurt, fear of authority (including pastors), fear of witchcraft, fear of career, fear of dying, fear of failure, fear of the future, fear of responsibility, fear of darkness, fear of being alone, fear of what people think of you, fear of what people say about you, fear of hell, fear of demons and deliverance, fear of poverty, terror, fright, sudden fear, apprehension.

All of these manifestations must be broken in the name of Jesus.

In the name of Jesus, I loose myself from all fears including childhood fears, fears from trauma, fears from the past, and all inherited fears. Amen.

Point For Today: only believe.

The Reason why we keep reading what God says about us is, if you only heard it once you might not believe it, but if i keep having you read it.. You going to start believing it. I know Some folks on my team heard it once and caught it…

Matthew 16:19 KJV

19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Faith: Reliance upon and trust in God; a central emphasis of Christianity.

Christians are commonly called “believers,” and a commitment to Christianity typically involves a confession of faith. The centrality of faith in Christianity reflects the biblical significance of faith.

Hebrews 6:1 M:BCL

1 So come on, let’s leave the preschool fingerpainting exercises on Christ and get on with the grand work of art. Grow up in Christ. The basic foundational truths are in place: turning your back on “salvation by self-help” and turning in trust toward God;

Paul’s doctrine of justification by faith also demonstrates the Bible’s emphasis on faith. Based on Paul’s teaching about faith in Romans and Galatians, Martin Luther argued that Christians must understand their salvation as sola fide—“by faith alone.”

The Lexham Bible Dictionary The Three Dimensions of Faith

The Three Dimensions of Faith

There appear to be three distinct concepts of faith in Scripture: covenantal faith; epistemological faith; and eschatological faith. These concepts regularly overlap, and multiple dimensions of faith can be found in the same passage

The Lexham Bible Dictionary Covenantal Faith: Faith as Covenantal Commitment

Covenantal Faith: Faith as Covenantal Commitment

The biblical language of faith concerns a relationship of faithfulness and cooperation (Leclerc, “Faith in Action,” 184–95). The concept of the covenant, which is especially explicit in the Old Testament, informs the biblical writers’ use of the language of faith. To have faith in God or Jesus is to be faithful to a covenantal bond, which is initiated by God and bound according to appropriate promises and expectations on both sides. The command for Christians to have faith is not merely a cerebral exercise or eager wish, but a command with the expectation of fidelity and trust. This definition of faith is apparent in Josh 24:14: When the Israelites renew their covenant to the Lord after taking possession of Canaan, Joshua demands, “Now therefore revere the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness; put away the gods that your ancestors served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord” (NRSV).

The Lexham Bible Dictionary Epistemological Faith: Faith as Spiritual Perception

Epistemological Faith: Faith as Spiritual Perception

New Testament authors like Paul promote a concept of faith that is opposed to the common phrase “blind faith.” For example, Paul affirms that Christians live “by faith and not by sight” (2 Cor 5:7 NRSV). With this phrase, he refers to Christians’ capacity for a kind of spiritual perception that allows them to interpret the world in a godly way. God’s people are able to see and perceive His work in the world, while the rest of the world ignores or rejects it (Hays, “Salvation by Trust,” 218–223).

The Lexham Bible Dictionary Eschatological Faith: Faith as the Living Eschatological Expression of Christian Hope

Eschatological Faith: Faith as the Living Eschatological Expression of Christian Hope

While faith in the present involves seeing as God sees, eschatological faith is necessary because sin has corrupted human understanding (Rom 1:18–32). To see properly is a dimension of present faith, but God promises that all that is hidden will be revealed when Christ returns (at the Parousia; 1 Cor 4:5). On the day of judgment, the righteous will be honored and rewarded, and the reprobate and corrupt will be exposed and punished. Part of Christian faith, according to Scripture, is living in light and anticipation of that “day of illumination.”

The Lexham Bible Dictionary James on Faith and Works

James on Faith and Works

The letter of James speaks on the subject of faith in a way that is distinct from Hebrews and Paul’s teachings on the subject. Evoking the sense of covenant faithfulness, James calls believers to practice faith that can hold up under pressure (Jas 1:3) and that does not hesitate or doubt (Jas 1:6).

The Lexham Bible Dictionary (James on Faith and Works)

In James 2:14–26, James shifts his discussion to focus on faith and works. He uses much the same language as Paul (e.g., Galatians and Romans), yet James seems to present the opposite perspective. While Paul argues that “a person is justified by faith (πίστις, pistis) apart from works (ἔργον, ergon) of the law” (Rom 3:28), James states that “a person is justified by works (ἔργον, ergon) and not by faith (πίστις, pistis) alone” (Jas 2:24).

The Lexham Bible Dictionary James on Faith and Works

However, while Paul and James’ teachings seem incompatible, a closer examination will demonstrate that their ideas are not contradictory.

First, while both Paul and James use the words faith (πίστις, pistis), works (ἔργον, ergon), and justified (δικαιόω, dikaioō), James doesn’t refer to work as works of the law (i.e., Torah). James’ use of the word “works” in relationship to faith suggests a meaning of “deed,” where deeds are the natural expressions of true faith.

The Lexham Bible Dictionary James on Faith and Works

James’ teachings are not in opposition to Paul’s teachings regarding Torah-regulations. Rather, their teachings seem to be in alignment.

Additionally, in James’ statement that “faith apart from works is useless” (Jas 2:20 NET), he seems to refer to a superficial or nominal faith. James speaks against a surface-level confession of faith that contradicts the person’s actual lifestyle and habits

So when we look at these two major characters in this text, we find a religious leader standing by the water in faith, believing Jesus was on a boat coming his way. His Young daughter was deathly Ill and He had heard of Jesus miracle working power.

The women with the issue of Blood is hanging on the outskirts of town, hoping to run into this Jesus but had no clue where to find him. So in faith she hung around the town.

He got faith to wait by the water & she got faith to wait around the town.

Do me a favor ask your neighbor on left & Right of you what does your faith got you waiting at?

Jesus is fresh off the boat, who does he run into, religion, but religion is out the window he is desperate. He wants relationship.. Jesus come to my house and lay hands on my sick little girl.

Bet Jarious lets go...

“Do not be afraid; only believe.”

But i just was told my baby girl is dead, i can hear the mourners and the flutes..

“Do not be afraid; only believe.”

Mark 5:37 KJV

37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

2023 you better choose your small crew wisely. I need believers around me..

Mark 5:38–40 NCV

38 When they came to the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus found many people there making lots of noise and crying loudly. 39 Jesus entered the house and said to them, “Why are you crying and making so much noise? The child is not dead, only asleep.” 40 But they laughed at him. So, after throwing them out of the house, Jesus took the child’s father and mother and his three followers into the room where the child was.

Notice Jesus Kicked them out not the father.

The Lord told me to tell you he is kicking the folks out your life that have been making noise.

The only thing left to do is wake her up!!

Mark 5:41–42 KJV

41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. 42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

I speak to every sleeping thing you thought was dead in your life, in your family, In your relationship and I say Arise...
