Jesus takes the hopeless, adds faith, and creates Life and Life Evermore!

Last week we talked about Jesus the Mob.

Mark 5:1-22 Jesus the Mob. 

Mark 5:3 NLT

3 This man lived in the burial caves and could no longer be restrained, even with a chain.

Then Jesus came along...

The evil spirits came out of the man—into about 2000 pigs

Mark 5:18–19 NLT

18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon possessed begged to go with him. 19 But Jesus said, “No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.”

Mark 5:1–22 MSG

He was the talk of the town.

How about YOU?

“Your MINISTRY is found where you have been broken. Your TESTIMONY is found where you have been restored.” Meredith Houston Carr, https://proverbs31.org/read/devotions/full-post/2023/03/24/where-ministry-begins

Rick Warren says it this way...

If you give it to God, He transforms your test into a testimony, your mess into a message, and your misery into a ministry. ~Rick Warren

TODAY…

Jairus Daughter and Oops—I touched the hem of his garment.

Mark 5:21–22 NLT

Jesus got into the boat again and went back to the other side of the lake, where a large crowd gathered around him on the shore. Then a leader of the local synagogue, whose name was Jairus, arrived. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet,

Mark 5:23–43 NLT

23 pleading fervently with him. “My little daughter is dying,” he said. “Please come and lay your hands on her; heal her so she can live.” 24 Jesus went with him, and all the people followed, crowding around him.

Mark 5:23–43 NLT

25 A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding. 26 She had suffered a great deal from many doctors, and over the years she had spent everything she had to pay them, but she had gotten no better. In fact, she had gotten worse. 27 She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched his robe. 28 For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.” 29 Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body that she had been healed of her terrible condition. 30 Jesus realized at once that healing power had gone out from him, so he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my robe?” 31 His disciples said to him, “Look at this crowd pressing around you. How can you ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ” 32 But he kept on looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the frightened woman, trembling at the realization of what had happened to her, came and fell to her knees in front of him and told him what she had done. 34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”

Mark 5:23–43 NLT

35 While he was still speaking to her, messengers arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. They told him, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.” 36 But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.” 37 Then Jesus stopped the crowd and wouldn’t let anyone go with him except Peter, James, and John (the brother of James). 38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw much commotion and weeping and wailing. 39 He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.” 40 The crowd laughed at him. But he made them all leave, and he took the girl’s father and mother and his three disciples into the room where the girl was lying.

Why did Jesus dismiss these weepers and wailers?

Mark 5:23–43 NLT

41 Holding her hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means “Little girl, get up!” 42 And the girl, who was twelve years old, immediately stood up and walked around! They were overwhelmed and totally amazed. 43 Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell anyone what had happened, and then he told them to give her something to eat.

Jesus just plowed through the enemy’s stronghold

CLOSING

2 Samuel 5:20 NLT

So David went to Baal-perazim and defeated the Philistines there. “The Lord did it!” David exclaimed. “He burst through my enemies like a raging flood!” So he named that place Baal-perazim (which means “the Lord who bursts through”).

“He burst through my enemies like a raging flood!” So he named that place Baal-perazim which means “the Lord who bursts through.”

AMP says, (master of breakthroughs).

WHERE DO YOU NEED A BREAKTHROUGH TODAY?

YOU CAN, cross references:

Psalm 18:29 NLT

In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall.

God’s Word is saying…

For in You I can charge an army, and with my God I can scale a wall (Jump over a wall)

PRAYER

CLIFFHANGER:

Mark 6:30-44 Dinner with 5000

Mark 6:31 NLT

31 Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat.

VS 33.

BUT— MANY PEOPLE RECOGNIZED THEM...
