And if you have your Bibles, I would love for you to turn with me to the gospel of Mark. Chapter 8. Gospel of Mark chapter 8 verses 22 through 26. I'll be reading from the new King James version of the Bible and this morning will be talked about the power of a second touch the power of a second touch Mark chapter 8 verse 22 through 26. Hey says this mini came to bethsadia and they brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him. so he took the blind man by the hand and let him out of town and when he had spit on his eyes and put his hands on him and asked him if he saw anything.

Ozonics and then he looked up and said I see men like trees. walking

then he put his hands on his eyes again and made him look up and he was restored and saw everyone clearly then he sent him away to his house saying need to go into the town Nora tell anyone. In the town. Amen Mark chapter 8 verses 22 through 26 will be talkin about the power. of a second touch

there's a song and I know I'm going to make myself. Date myself old here, but that's okay. The gray is real. It's not dyed popular group doing my childhood by the name of Shalamar. I had a single during that those long-ago prehistoric years Howard Hewett was the lead singer in that the song was called the second time around. not to get too deep too much of My musical history the song was mentioning about another chance with a love interest and let the chorus kind of went the second time around.

I don't know what to do. Just as long as I am with you even talked about even during the add layer that it should be better than the first time and you know, I think there not many areas in life where we get a second chance. Reservar would tell me all the time. You never get a second chance at a first impression. She always wanted and her desire was always put her best foot forward in she can steal that always in you so I've always work real hard to to make sure the first time I engage with anyone the first time I attempt something the first time I do something that I would do my best. In fact one of our family principles of founding principles that guided the rear end of her kids and how we approach life's difficulties and the lights was we would always do our best and let God handle the rest. Part of doing our best was making sure that only on set at our first offering that we were as much engaged as we could at that that we prepared as much as we could all the things that were in our power to do so that when it was time for only God to do with only God to do we were satisfied with the outcome no matter what it was if it was good or bad if it was right or wrong and we were happy because we knew we do. We did all we could to prepare and and in life, there are are similar circumstances where the same type of a substance needs to be applied that we become people who are constantly trying our best to do things the first time correctly. Give our best energy the first time have I guess mine set at the first engagement offer our best effort at the first attempt, but you know, like I know that that that that it's rare when our first time Is the slice Factory time that our first time complete the task or obtains the the object of Desire that that I first time gives us what we're looking for. And if you live long enough, you've been through enough you have these moments where? Second thoughts come in and you start to think about if I had another chance. If I get another opportunity and then thinking that if the first time doesn't succeed if the first effort is not to your satisfaction that that that possibly maybe hopefully they'll be an opportunity to go at it again and my brother says just think the second time be better than the first one. I believe that the second time are they have not only your preparation? But also your observations from What fail the first time? What went wrong where you were locking where you didn't pay enough attention or possibly where you paid too much attention in an in life. We have very few moments. We're after our first effort we get another chance. We hear the gospel Mark at this 8 chapter mark. And his expedient writing and communicating of the events around the three and a half years of the Earthly Ministry of Jesus. He paints a narrative here that is only found in this portion of the synoptic gospel only Mark record this event. Only Mark records this this miraculous occurrence of the healing of a blind man in and I think it makes a very pronounced in prominent statement. But although there is pre-eminent presence in our first engagement. There is pronounced power. in that second touch Although he met the right Messiah at the right moment with the right mentality. It took another time before what he needed became what he had received all my brothers and sisters. If we were a Praying group of Believers, we would be praying right now God help us to see the truths the principles the observations help us to discern the wisdom in the statement of of the power of a second touch. Is that is a chapter where we find ourselves today? And I can't help but inductively look at the scripture and say there's some application for us here, but let's not negate the interpretation or the observation. The interview with me. I just got three quick points. And then I'm going to let us move on without day of worship. It's a full day. You don't have to be in front of the screen to still be in service. So I hope you let the word saturate. Deeply flow within your heart and mind that you give it constant consideration throughout the rest of your day of rest. So that the things we hear of God become the things we believe about God and guide the actions and inform the actions that we do on the behalf of God. 88 chapter Mark begins the statement Wiz a look into the life of the vents of Jesus quickly following The Sermon on the Mount the Beatitudes in the end of life teachings of how the kingdom of God would operate here in the realm of humanity. Many believe Jesus came to deliver us to a place of divine development in Divine engagement and divine a servant the sermon but but I'm a firm believer that Jesus came not only to prepare us to go to the place prepared for us. But for us to be busy preparing this place to resemble the place, we're going we as the followers of Christ we who have decided to accept him as Savior and then serve him in life must be about the father's business not only to gain the reward of an afterlife. But to be engaged in developing the relationships in this life. The world should be reminiscent of the kingdom of God the elements of Heaven oughta be here on Earth. Peace ought to be here on Earth love or to be here on Earth. But you know, like I know that when seeing into the realm of Earth what God meant as Divine became demented it changed it it it it was perfect when it was created. It's perverted now send does that to Divine thing. Send takes God's intentions and makes it man's inventions. That's what seeing is. It's the desires of our flesh coming to past with the the determination of God, and I'm going to tell you every time we're ever seeing is God. Will not dwell. He he loves us too much because if he would come down and draw close to us because we are late and then seeing and born in sin and shaped in iniquity. He would have to excuse saying from our present and that means excusing us from his presence. So God said the person of Jesus because Jesus in our form in our likeness taking on our flesh week dwelling can represent. God can be the presence of God can exude the power of God without having the pronouncement of God because God is seeing can't be But Here Comes Jesus If he's left this instructive time of teaching from the sermon at the mount as he descends back to the valley where the visible hurt and harm and danger of seeing is an acting he encounters a blind man. what I find unusual about this this interaction of Jesus here with this blind man is is that the blind man was not waiting for Jesus to come that he sought He was so shocked by his friends. Jesus was taught by the friends of the flying man. Just follow along here. I only got a couple of things I want to show you and then I'll let you go. If if you're with us if you're with me there I want to first begin to talk about. The first my first thought I want to share his personal suffering is not public spectacle. Personal suffering is not public spectacle the brought that they brought the alien with an agenda. They brought the alien with an agenda. When I look at this passage of scripture verse 23 says then he came to bethsadia. saying they brought him a block they brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch it to you and say I hope I got friends like this. You know sometimes mine my burdens my mind. My Kurt my harm my Hang-Ups have wait on me. So heavy that I have lost the desire to be out of them any longer. I had an occasion. I don't know if you had I had occasion to wear. I've been in in the wrong thing and they painful predicament in a a a a a A difficult situation so long that I become settled in my situation. Yeah, I'm so used to doing bad that bad at all I want to do. So used to giving harm that harm is all I'm capable of and and it is a sad State when when cells become satisfied with its sinful situation. We become people who are complacent without complications when we're okay without awkwardness. I ain't saying being content with being unique know we we are sometimes okay with laying in our bed of Affliction not only do we lay in it, but we carry it. We we make it up we we we roll it back to reside in that night. We we are so used to being messed up that messed up is what we're used to it. Even when good things come to us. We can take good and make it grow test because bad is better a dysfunction ain't right. It just is what it is. It's it's what we do and I am matching if if if you were blind and had been through procedure after procedure. If you have pronouncement after pronouncement if specialist after specialist had called you and you would stop them out and they had told you the same old story over and over again will I have six eyes before? But your case seems hopeless. Well, I hope I have helped people walk before but I believe you're lame this isn't unique occurrence. I don't know if you can say a man is a out but whatever I can see is myself serving in this senior lies point that this in the singularity Point here that that I can get content with my condition to where I'm not even speaking to be out of it. But here's my point. I want to make I hope I have friends. Who find Jesus for me? I hope I have fellows who will exude face on my behalf wish. We could be friends like that because sometimes folk up to six and tired to be searching and trying and we are to be the kind of companions rather be in the type of relationships wear when they can't see Jesus for themselves will see Jesus for them. And that's what I I see in this first point is is Marcus laying out that Jesus is coming into the city. It's not the blind man looking for Jesus, but it's the friends of the blind man bringing him to Jesus. Observation skills tell me don't assess or a sign of perspective. Where in the Bible does it? But we do get to speculate. Skip on first inspection is upon further speculation. I would think what a great group of friends. They love this unnamed blind man so much that they would do for him what he seemingly did not want to or could do for himself. If I put altruistic desires and purposes on these people. I will say they were so kind to bring the blind man knowing he wouldn't be able to find Jesus knowing he would have to feel his way through crowds and and bump into barriers and collide with challenges know they're going to navigate it form and bring them to Jesus. That's if I'm putting a good spin on it, but all for every good spin there's a bad twist. Can I get see it that way but I got also see this might have had a motive in mind. Maybe after hearing the teaching on the mountain. They wanted to see if he had miracles for the masses. Maybe they wanted to provoke the power of God. I hate I got some that'll be nice for us to do. Let's take this blind dude to this great Rabbi and let's see if he can do what he says he can do. Let's see if he has power and that's why I bring them up. My my my first point here. Yeah, the things we go through that we are hanging on to the habits that won't let go of us and we won't let go of them the bad things that happened to us not be entertainment. for our fellow believers I hate to break it to you, but you know, there are some people who are glad you're going through. There's some people who are okay with you being not okay?

Method we can be real honest here. There are times where we look for folklore than us so we can feel higher than somebody.

Now we don't want to be the man being led. We want to be the leaders of the man being led. We don't want to be the one with the sickness. We want to be the one tending to the one with the Sickness. And I know I'm giving you burying perspectives, but we're where the Bible makes no clear declaration declaration. I believe it invites us to Cincy a speculation and we should always be checking the motives of whatever we do. I believe it. They had good intentions. Yes. Bringing him to Jesus is the right move if they had bad intentions, then you bringing somebody to Jesus when you really need to becoming yourself so you can see what's wrong with you.

You ain't blind but you got something on your mind.

Right now you might be here. Because you think I'm broke, but I bet there might be something broken in you and sometimes was so busy bringing others that we won't come out of selves. We want to see if it'll work before we exude a little faith in it. We want to see if it's his has power. And and here's the good news I have for you. This is what Jesus is saying by not saying the word this is what Jesus likes his actions do his talking personal suffering is not for public spectacle. What people are going through out not be entertainment to you?

I love to drive. I don't know what that's a known fact, but it is now does walking over there and it's on social media and what you put it on the Internet. Is there driving his mind my skate this my source of travel that now that I don't have full access to the use of my legs now that the stroke is rabbit some of my muscle group some of my bodily systems. I can't just take a walk or have a run take a job driving substitutes that very well, but I've noticed this phenomenon that happens not only in California, but all over the planet where cars are operating that there's this phenomenon that when one car has stopped every car must slow down to look at the stoppage.

Law enforcement in all of us who've been alive a little while calling rubbernecking. But you got to look back at the destruction you you're you're driving by and you want to get where you're going but something so magnetic about watching someone else's misery. Need I say Amen just say ouch if you didn't stop and save on look at him getting that ticket. He was probably driving too fast. I'll look as a flat probably couldn't afford good tires or the rec you want to you're hoping not to see blood but secretly you're hoping that the bodies of Twisted and mangled. There's something sick and Sinister about those who want a survey others suffering.

I'm glad this morning that Jesus ain't like Folk. Jesus says what my problem is is it for public scrutiny? What my issues are ain't for an invitation for all to come and see know now when Jesus is dealing with me and in the dilemmas of my life. He does not do it for an audience.

He does not do it for free the people to come around and and play looky-loos on the language the anguish the paint the pronounced punishment. He don't want people to see suffering for some sick satisfaction. I dunno sickness ain't a spectator sport being broke it aint for the barrage of laughter from the onlookers know when you come to Jesus with you when you bow before the master with your messed-up lifestyle when you bring was broken to a master who can heal every broken thing is not for The Spectator. If only for the participating And I see it right here. Bible says they brought a bad blind man to him and beg him to heal him for 23 days. So he took the blind man. It is. It took him by the hand. He said you let him to me. But I can only I'm the only one that can leave him for me. Yeah, you can bring him an introduction, but I must walk him into relationship. This is just me. I'll take him by the hand. You do know that Jesus is willing to touch some people that no one else would ever touch.

Try to be transparent here. I've known some men of God to have some mistakes in their lives. And watch them suffer from the same sickness that all Sinners suffer from the the selfishness the The Pride the desires of the Flesh and then they fall we we find it funny. We we make jokes. We we point we glad we stare look at how the mighty have fallen is what we say and it weird that will let those people preacher brace that we won't give back to them. I'm not seeing prominent men who had invitations Galore to come to speak to preach hit a moment of individual personal struggle and become a pariah. two other preach brethren

won't let him say Amen. From the back row. They won't let him pray over the food produced a won't call him to read scripture at a recital. It's sad that that that went when Windows prominent people fall into personal plight, we put them away privately. But I got good news for the isolated. I got a shout for the separated when man won't touch you Jesus Will.

When folks forget your Jesus will find you. When when other people throw you away Jesus finds you on the trash Heap. Of life and says I still have use for you. You might be broken. But Jesus can make it better. You might be my defaulted but Jesus can fix your folks. You might have made a mistake, but God can use it for his magnificent magistrate. I'm just saying he's not done with you yet. And when we won't touch you find and rest in the assurance that Jesus will take you by the hand. Get onto my points list you stop listening to me.

a personal Personal suffering is not a public spectacle. They brought the ailing with an agenda. I see something else here to I also see in the second point that intimacy. brings insight intimacy brings inside right here for 23. So we took the blind man by the hand and led him out of town and when he had Spit on His Eyes and put his hands on him. He asked him if he saw anything then I got to pause here for a second and and talk a little bit about the unorthodox way. Jesus goes about the healing never before in the gospels. Has it been a moment of healing like this and Never After? This is a personal encounter. You know what? I'm glad about. I'm glad Jesus separated and because can you imagine the Uproar? If the spectators saw Jesus spit. I need if I just balls was thinking man, I think about it have been a mess. Oh my god, did he just spit? on that man They don't give me wrong. I have been one too just as shocked and before you say you not before you go all Heavenly in. Holy on me. Let somebody stand Too Close to You. And get excited in their conversation and let a little spittle. Leave their mouth and laying anywhere in your proximity. You have a hairy cats it. You break out walls in in Granite buildings if somebody spit on you how disgusting.

A nasty it is to be stacked on your density of somebody to take something so nasty and be so casual with it. We're just take him out of town and he's Spit on His Eyes. Some theologians have estimated that maybe he actually concocted some sort of solution where moisture was necessary in and created a paste that he wiped on his eyes possibly. the mark City spit My observing skills, my my my work about the bass and says don't make the Bible say what the Bible didn't say. He's spit on his eyes and let me say something. If you're sick enough.

If you reach the point where you're so tired of being broken and you got a chance of being better. I think the etiquette of process. Lose its power. Yeah, if you can if you are about to lose your leg, and I told you if I used. Spoiled nasty rags to tie your leg pain and you would be not have to be amputated. I would don't if you wanted to legs if you want willing to at least consider that my Rags might be a resource see when you are in a bad situation when your circumstances have no. Hope of relief when you are here. It is vulnerable. In your victimization any hope of help becomes possible. That's why people buy holy water at 2 in the morning. That's what people go to two psychics in Mystic healers with crystals in in in in in in Roots trying to regain some semblance of real life. See when you are in a bad spot. anything that might help

might be tried. And my brother says if I can find it here just a second. It loved ones if you lean in and let me talk to you for a second. You're not serious about getting well, unless you're willing to do whatever it takes. Unless you're willing to let go of etiquette. procedure proper steps, I'm almost done. Cuz if I can interpret that he's spent I don't see one word of argument from the blind man. What time? You know where all the arguments against this come from from us who have never been blind?

How to have no feeling weary spit we get disgusted. We we we we spit and we start stepping back. What can I tell you something? Anything from God or to be everything for you?

even God has Heavenly for you Listen I had had. All kinds of medicine prescribed to me. Fentanyl morphine codeine oxycodone. I've had every pain relief process suggested to me. I've had rooster plume injected into the body cavities and extremities trying to bring some relief from what the stroke had riddle with pain and I found out his people are just trying to help the best way. They know how Botox doctors don't know how bodies were created. So they don't have any idea how to repair what they did have. They had no idea in in preparing their trying know that's why doctors aren't called professionals yesterday. They have a practice. did Tryon can I tell you something where man tries? Jesus triumphs

Where man has a possible remedy Jesus has the perfect resource? Matter fact if you can't get to his Pharmacy if you could just Touch the Hem. of His Garment that that's that's what I see from this passage. I am willing to accept whatever God allows. I'm praying to be open to whatever God has available. That's why I don't close my door to enemy or friend. I don't cut off my life stuff to to the fun ones or to the fiendish ones. I leave it open cuz God has a way listen to me. He can use those who hurt you to become help to you. I wish Miss Elvira was here right here. She did say he could hit straight licks with crooked sticks.

He he can do it. Man on him if they have you. Any mountains that you feel are uncrossable. Have you any valleys you came? get through God Specializes

in things that are impossible and he will do with no other people can do

Listen, if God says spit then that's it.

Saliva is alright for me as long as it comes from the Savior long should come from the stadium. But if he's sent you to do the unusual the unorthodox the unexpected Road and obedience and let God be the bearer of the evidence.

and with that first touch What was clothes became open with that first touch? What was broken started to get better with that first touch?

What was never able to see begins in?

I wonder what that moment was like for our blind friend here. theory is in darkness all his life and now The Rays of the sun invade his presence. Harry was being led around on streets. He never seen through a town. He couldn't picture. We don't know if it was from birth on Fallout bad at but but but never been without your site you understand how precious seeing is.

He had it.

Hey listen at first touch started it where can I find a question? Are you willing to leave after the first time?

when Things start to go right? Are you that person that feels like going right? Is almost the same as all right?

Use Somebody when told to stand and watch the water boil, once you see the first bubble break the surface you hit the bricks. Y'all know we become impatient like that. We'll start things and then feel like since they started they must be stable.

I say things but honestly if I can step from interpretation and application many times we've encountered the savior of the universe many times. We brought him a serious situation and many times on his first Abilene of it. It begins to open up if we danced to get better it begins to become satisfactory to us and as soon as it starts to get good we get gone.

Will stay long enough. To get it perfect. We just want it not bad. We become satisfied.

with the sub satisfaction we anticipate it being in partiality. We we've let a life experience become our Lord experience. We pray for God to move in circumstances and then moved in circumstances before God was done with circumstances. We've asked God for permission and then we waited just long enough to finish the prayer before we began doing what we were asking for permission to do and many of us have left healing opportunity opportunities have helped.

Somebody say Amen somebody turn to your housemates and say I do that I need before it's A lasting change I go before it gets to where it's supposed to be. I'll step away before it completes its work. Is Starbucks a first touch followers?

You just had to get saved. You ain't here to be controlled. I just want him to relieve this virus. I don't really want him to invade my life. I want to follow him out of my house and out of quarantine. I'm not going to follow him everyday of my existence. No, God, just give me enough scripture to preach. I'll keep the practice going now. Just give me a building to start a church. I'll make it a big mega church, and I ain't saying God didn't begin it. I'm just saying you ain't let God staying it. To end it you didn't stay around long enough for God to do a lasting work. And can I tell you God can be fooled at first touch? But in this occurrence with this issue with this blind man the first touch Was only the start.

He has a point to take away. He touched you a long time ago. He put his hands into that hellish life of yours and began to clean it up and then you walked away. He removed the circumstance. He took away a situation. He eliminated some immediate urgent pain or he provided some blessing that you need it sooner than yesterday. And as soon as he did you didn't stay long enough to see what else God had that would satisfy. What else you had? Some of us left just like the blind man made the declarative statement. Some of us left seeing stuff all jacked up.

None of us that have one. Encounter with the church and decided all Christians are corrupt. Some of us that have one engagement with an immature believe and decided no Bible Thumpers are for us.

Not follow procedure head one Deacon not due diligence with us. We had one choir member not. Hit the right active and now nobody can sing and no deacons worth their salt and no preachers can preaching no church can be trusted your first touch only started the work, but you didn't stay long enough for the work to start.

Chino to work and getting you there to work is keeping you there.

You know the work ain't the miraculous the work is the mundane.

Some of y'all just want to let the light in you don't care if it's distorted Vision you live with the rest of your life. You just don't want to be in the dark. So you just want your power bills paid you don't want stewardship question. Some of you just want your body heal. You don't want your behavior corrected. I'm preaching to myself. Sometimes you just want the answer to the test. You don't want to be told how to study.

God is not in the business of letting Christian go off half-cocked.

No, sir. Jesus didn't come just to get the paint out of your body. He didn't take lashes just to heal. your headache

I'm suspect over the exegetical work the expository we're ghosts and he was bruised for our if you think your transgressions are a bad back. If you believe your iniquities are simply being adequacy of your resources, if you think he went to Calvary so you can get a car. And you are sicker than you think you are. If Calvary healed your physical condition, then you had no idea.

project up you were and some of us who have been blinded by the events of Our Lives blinded by the activities of others blinded by the situations and circumstances haven't had an encounter with the Divine have had the scales lifted from her a proverbial Vision, but we still don't see stuff as we should. First 24 and he looked up. And said, I see men like trees walking. Can you imagine? Trying to discern what vision is like when you been blinded in a dilemma of trying to decide what things mean? What? From somebody who has never seen what things look like.

I imagine what was wrong with this man. Banana, I really imagined what's wrong with us. Can I believe the first touch brought? The features that it needed to he saw me and not looking like men. Tucson men acting like objects and not like the apple of God's eye shaped in His image.

managed by his miracle On his breath. People not acting like people. Not moving like people not talking like people. The man who never could see when he started to see couldn't believe what he was seeing. And you know what? some of us got some

sketchy Vision 2 some of us Don't look like we ought to look.

Jesus does acknowledge that there are some delightful disciples, but there's some distorted ones too.

I don't have it. I don't know y'all see that in there that intimacy bring then once he separated from the crowd once he got along with Jesus. He didn't trip on how Jesus brought the Triumph. He was sketchy sketchy about the way Jesus selected to deliver his vision. He spoke with it, but what he saw was unrecognizable.

Here it is the first touch brings connection. That is like the whole synopsis right there. I'm heading to my last point. Yes the first touch.

Did the isolation began? Be intimacy.

The first we see Jesus.

separating him from public spectacle Then we get to look at Jesus. Take him to isolation and do with that man in intimacy what only had to make sense to him and to Jesus and Garrett. Are you blind folk? Don't care what you do to get their sight back. They're not selected with the milk Miracle process. The first touch with him telling Jesus I'm willing to do with you and really want you to do with me. Whatever you want to do the first touch since I'm so sick of my circumstance. I don't care how you get me out. Break my leg, but get me out. Bend my back, but get me out. Let me lose my reputation, but deliver me from my circumstances. You ain't never cried that. Do you might still be in your predicament? You know when you stop being sick and tired when you get sick and tired of being sick and tired. Will you recognize there? No shortcuts, no easy roads, no fast-paced ways when there is no quick money that all my teeth at gum quit them on my bed with a all money ain't good money.

Isolation said Jesus just me and you do what you got to do. That's what you got in touch break what you got to break fix what you got a big but you know what? I noticed the next part though if isolation invited. the intimacy

in the intimacy

the intimacy brings insight the second touch brought Clarity the first touch brought Connection II touch

He started to. See Clearly then

Heather 70 singers 70 singers name was Kashi made the song I Can See Clearly Now. The rain is gone. I can see all obstacles in my way.

I can see clearly now. The rain is gone. It's going to be a bright bright. Sunshiny day. I'm thinking. He had to at least being Sunshine wants to know that the rain wouldn't last forever. He had to just one time be thinking that. The rain was always the way it should be and then one day the light broke through on him. And then once that happened the second time it happened it it it didn't take him to the same place. Wilbraham verse 24 and he looked up his head. I see men as trees walking their 25 is the shout of all safe people then he Jesus put his hands. On his eye.

and again He made him looked up. He made him look up the first time he spat on his eyes and he saw me in like trees the second time. He handled his.

He changed. It's substance.

Adjusted the perspective. Yeah, I spit on your eyes and you look this way.

But when I touched your eyes you look this way.

That first encounter game the human perspective. the second encounter a Divine perspective Can I ask a question? Have you had a second touch?

You still listening to the 45th president of the United States every day waiting to hear what you should do for the next day. You might need a second touch. If you think 44 coming back would make any of this any better. You might need a second touch. If you believe any present any president from any country at any time could do something about what only the God of all creation is doing at this time need a second touch.

Cast won't keep you. mask Can you prevent the sickness that you've contracted?

Need a second touch. Some of y'all left the church the first time. Second time I do with you.

Not taking time with a building. second time with the body second time not with self or self-serving individuals, but the second time with the savior. Not just the product of spirituality the spittle from a Divine Source, but how about you get Hands-On you're hurting place. how to put on a poster to Jesus the second time it don't just tell him about your issue open yourself up and let him touch your issue. Let him in where you didn't let nobody else in. Let him go where only he can go. second time the first time you pick the path. The second time you got to let him decide.

I'm almost done.

If I wouldn't say he saw me and better. The Bible and say that his vision went to 20/20 the Bible says in the gospel of Mark according to the new King James version that after Jesus put his eyes on him and he looked up here it is. He was restored. Put whole again. He was complete.

Ain't you tired of being a work in progress?

Aren't you sick of being almost satisfied?

Are you tired of being close but no cigar? Happy Bastille County.

Austin for second touch

Burger to bring his hands to your broken place. Request a Jesus responds with such an intimacy where when I leave him this time. I'll be restored. When I walk away this time, I'll be lacking nothing. When I go for the second time, I'll get everything I need. I'll stay until I'm fully.

And they listen. If I stay for the second touch not go back to the place that broke me.

26 what if I said he was restored and saw everyone clearly and it said then Jesus he sent him away to his house.

Saying even going to the town. No, tell anyone about that City.

City place that was making faux blind. What is it about the town? What town it was taking stuff out of this man. I think what I asked you where you reside. Do you live in the house or in the town?

Cuz we might be residents of a town that Delight in bringing people down.

They get joy from chatting people in vulnerable spots. We might be kind of town that. Can people come with 20/20 Vision And they leave us blind?

I'm closed. I'm shutting the book.

I would ask you three questions.

If I ask you these three questions, then you can answer I got no more work for you.

You can answer them you you're cool with me.

It is have you been isolated?

Can you spend time with Jesus away from all Jesus people? The real ones and the phony ones the the sincere ones and the silly ones though. The one who acts cold in the ones You Are Holy have you just been with Jesus? Have you allowed Jesus to isolate you? They listen what you got isolated with him. Have you been intimate? My mom used to sing a song. On our way to and from church. I must tell Jesus.

all my trouble that what she would say.

Shih Tzu hard time with Jesus What about Jesse and him and she raised me to find moments where it's just me and the Messiah? She urged up. That church is a good special place, but ain't nothing like being alone with the master. Because when you're alone, you can be intimate. I can tell Jesus my crazy thoughts. I can share with him. Some of my most messed up movies. I can I can describe in great detail. What might gross-out other folks Jesus is. Okay with me being intimate with my heart hard and hang up and then if you've been isolated if you've been intimate.

Did you gain insight?

did he show you something that only he could

I'm a Baptist preacher. Love it. Cadenza story

Jesus will send you nowhere that he wasn't willing to go before you. You say you all this about the blind man, but who is this blind man? The blind man could be you the blind man could be me. The blind man could be anybody but guess what Jesus became a blind man for us.

And guess what because he became blind and seeing and unrighteousness when he became what we became that Friday on Calvary. Guess what he did.
