Just Tell Jesus
Intro: What does it mean, “Tell it to Jesus?”
Prayer: As we look at this part of the book of Mark, we are going to talk about prayer. (VS 30, Anon they him of her)
A circuital part of our life’s when we need prayer, is when we have a burden.
Burden: Weight, a load. Notion of going down. (That is what a weight will do)
All kinds of things can bring us down. Sickness, family, finances. We can hang on to them, and allow them to bring us down, or we can give them to Jesus.
22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee:
He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Psalm
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Mark is a very fast moving book. Mark goes from one story to another at a fast pace.
Here he goes from the synagogue healing to the home of Peter, and the healing of his mother in law, to the healing of a multitude of people.
In each case, they bought their burden to Jesus.
I. We must Jesus about Every Burden
I. We must Jesus about Every Burden
29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
“forthwith” Immediately.
Mark 1:29
They must have lived pretty close to the synagogue. Notice something here. They were with Jesus at the synagogue, after they left the synagogue they took Jesus home with them.
a. Last week: “When Jesus comes to church” “Don’t leave Jesus at church”
b. Jesus had taught at the synagogue, (with authority) He heald a demon possessed man, told the demon to keep quiet. The people were amazed, and now immediately, he goes with Peter to his house.
30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.
Mark 1;
First; Peter was a follower of Jesus. Being a follower of Jesus, does not mean nothing bad will ever happen to you are your family.
a. We are not told how sick she was (, Lk says “great fever)
b. It seems we pray when we are really sick (big sick) but what about when we are just a little sick?
c. We need to pray no matter how small the problem may be. Jesus wants to here about all our burdens, because he cares about all our burdens. ELab
d. Sometimes we pray and we get the answer we want. But still have to pray and trust the Lord.
2. We see all throughout the Bible were people prayed.
a) Hannah prayed for a son.
b) David prayed for forgiveness
c) Solomon prayed for wisdom
d)Paul Prayed for healing (II Corn 12:8)
3. Sometimes there may be a reason does not answer the way we want.
2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Here is something for you to study this week.
There are qualification’s for prayer.
Hindrances to prayer
don’t wait. Tell Jesus right away.
4. On this day their prayer (their request) to Jesus was very simple.
“and anon (immediately)they tell him of her.
a. Jesus, mom is sick.
b. God know all our needs before we ask, but he still wants to here them
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Matthew
c. Prayer is talking with God. We can talk to him about anything, we can ask for anything, but we may not always get what you want, but He gives us what we need.
II. We must tell Jesus right away.
II. We must tell Jesus right away.
Mark 1:3
30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him about her at once.
31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
Mark 1:31
They didn’t wait, they tell Jesus immediately about her. They didn’t tell what to do, just that she was sick.
a. Not sure if Peter knew she was sick until he got home.
b. I believe that after what had happened at the synagogue, the word got out, they knew the power of Jesus. And told Him immediately. They didn’t go get a Dr. They got Jesus.
c. Jesus took her by the hand, lifted her up, immediately the fever left her.
d. And she ministered to them (she served them) When you are sick, and your fever goes away, it’s still a day or two before you are up and going strong. But began to serve them right away.
2.. When we have burdens, we need to got to Jesus first. How often do we try all kinds of other stuff first? Elab
d. We should always go to the Lord first
e. Talking with God should be a nature thing for us to do. (also means being in His word. Bible study for the week)
f. Our attitude cannot be, maybe I should pray about this. That needs to be the first thing we do.
2. The Lord does not want prayer to be a last resort.
a. Jesus told His disciples to pray to prevent temptation.
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Matthew
b. Paul and Silas in prison after being beaten.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
c. When we have a burden, we can either worry, or pray.
d. We can look at all the what ifs, or just pray. Pray, tell it to Jesus right away, and tell Him in faith.
III. We must tell Jesus in Faith
III. We must tell Jesus in Faith
Mark 1:
32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. 33 And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
As sunset came, the Sabbath was over. The people came to Jesus.
a. They had seen a great miracle or at least heard about it.
b. Now they believed Jesus could heal other that were sick, those that were demon possessed.
c. Young, old, some had to be carried. They had faith that Jesus would heal them.
c. What is faith? “Acting upon trusted information”
d. When we pray in faith, we are praying because we know God care about us. We are praying in faith because we believe God’s word (trusted information)
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
2. Were going to look at three kinds of faith the people of Capernaum had.
a. Experienced faith: The man healed of a demon possession had faith because he knew what Jesus had done.
b. Observation faith: Many people who observed Jesus healing in the synagogue had faith to bring loved ones to Jesus for healing.
c. Second hand faith: Others were told by friends what Jesus had done, in faith brought their sick to Jesus for healing.
d. You can have experienced faith when God answers prayer for you.
e. You can have observation faith when you see God answer prayer for someone else.
f. You can have second hand faith when others (including the Bible) tell you what Jesus has done.
g. If you are praying, and it’s like nothing is happening, study the qualifications for prayer, and the hindrances to prayer.
Consultation: Have you been telling Jesus your burdens? have you been telling Jesus every burden? Have you been telling Jesus your burdens right away? Have you been telling Jesu your burdens in faith?
