From Trinity Church in the greater Dallas area, would you help me welcome today

Pastor Robert Madu.

-

Oh, hello

Life.Church

! You may be seated. How are you

Life.Church

? Hey, it is good to

be back. I have a rule as I've traveled over the years that whe

n you come to a church

the first time, you still kind of in the guest category. But if you get the honor coming

back then you straight up family. So I hope you know I'm in the family now, I'm in the

family, and I want to welcome you wherever you are watchi

ng, all the locations, whether

you're at home. I am fully convinced that if there is life on Mars, there will be a

Life.Church

there one day, and that just speaks to how awesome this church is, and it is

a privilege to be here. I cannot say enough about Pa

stor Craig and Amy Groeschel. I

want to thank you for your life for your leadership. He can have anybody standing

behind this pulpit and it is an honor to be here. Thank you for saying yes to the call of

God. It's impacting the world. I think we ought to g

ive honor to where honor's due, in

the chat, every location, let him know how much you love 'em. Love you so much. Okay,

I'm gonna jump straight into the Word of God, I hope you lean in, you're engaged. If

you're at home you can type amen, shout amen. If y

ou're at one of the locations. I

believe this is going to speak to you today. I want to look at Mark chapter five. It's quite

a bit of Scripture. But come on, you'll get your Bible reading in for the week. Mark

chapter five, and we'll look at verse number

21 and land all the way at verse number 43.

When you're ready to read it say yeah.

-

[Congregation] Yeah. You need a little time to find Mark say, hold on. I'll wait for you,

I'll wait for you to find it. It says "When Jesus had again crossed over by bo

at to the

other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.

Then one of the synagogue leaders named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus he fell

at his feet. He pleaded earnestly with him, 'My little daughter is dying. Plea

se come and

put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.' So Jesus went with him. A

large crowd followed and pressed around him, and a woman was there, who'd been

subject to bleeding for 12 years. she had suffered a great deal under the care

of many

doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better, she grew worse." When

she heard about Jesus. How many think it's good to hear about Jesus? Thank God this is

going around the world so people can hear about Jesus. "She came up behin

d him in

the crowd and touched his clothes, because she thought, 'If I just touch his clothes, I will

be healed.' Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was

freed from her suffering. At once Jesus realized that power had gone ou

t from him, and

he turned around in the crowd and asked, 'Who touched my clothes?' 'You see the

people crowded against you,' his disciples answered, 'and yet you gonna sit up here and

asked who touched me?' But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done

it. Then

the woman knowing what had happened to her came and fell at his feet, and trembling

with fear told him the whole truth. And he said to her 'Daughter, your faith has healed

you. Go in peace and be free from your suffering.' While Jesus was still s

peaking, some

people came from the house of Jairus the synagogue leader. 'Your daughter is dead,'

they said, 'Why bother the teacher anymore?' Overhearing what they said," One version

says, "Ignoring what they said Jesus told him. 'Don't be afraid, just be

lieve. Don't be

afraid, just believe.' He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the

brother James, and when they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a

commotion with people crying and wailing loudly. He went in and said

to them, 'Why all

this commotion and wailing? That girl not dead, she's just asleep.'" They did what you

did, they laughed at him. "And after he put them all out, he took the child's father and

mother and the disciples who are with him, and went in where

the child was, took her by

the head and said to her, 'Talitha koum,' which means 'Little girl, I say to you, get up!'

Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around, she was 12 years old. At this

they were completely astonished." He gave strict ord

ers not to let anyone know about

this, and then told 'em "Don't just stand there and look at the girl, go to Chick

fil

a and

get her something to eat real quick." Okay a lot of scripture, a lot of Scripture, but I

need you to get all of it. And I have to t

ell you, in full sermon prep disclosure when I was

making this message I almost titled this sermon Get Up. 'Cause that's a good sermon

title, Get Up. Because I thought that really the climax of this miracle was Jesus, telling

this little girl who was dead

to get up. Upon further reflection I realized that was a

premature title, premature title, simply because of verses 40 and 41. I want us to hone in

on those verses, because it says, "But they laughed at him." They laughed, who was the

they? The negative do

ubting, unbelieving, faithless, cantankerous people that were...

You know those people that know how to light up a room when they walk out. Don't

point at anybody. Those people that for every solution they will find a problem. That's

the they. It says "The

y laughed at him." And it says "After he," that's Jesus, "put them all

out." Woo, Jesus put them out. In fact the Greek suggests that he physically, put them

out. See I want to mess up your theology or your Christology today, because some of

you think that

Jesus is just kind and sweet and loving and caring and...

♪

He's a good,

good Father

♪

And he is. But this scripture lets me know, do not get it confused.

♪

He is

so, so gangster

♪

'cause all of those negative, doubting, unbelieving people who are

messing

up the atmosphere, he said, "Aw nah, all y'all got to get out." Oh yeah, you ain't

gotta go home, you got to get out of here. Once they got out, then he went to the little

girl and said, "Get up."

Life.Church

, what if the power of a miracle is not just in

the

miracle itself, but rather in the atmosphere and the environment that surrounds a

miracle. Could it be possible that you've been looking at situations in your life telling

them to get up. But this is actually the season of your life to start checking

your

environment and tell some things to get...

-

[Congregant] Out.

-

Oh come on, somebody just say "Get out!"

-

[Congregation] Get out!

-

That's what I want to preach about today. Wherever you are, would you give God

some praise and just say,

"Get out!" Say, "Get out!" Get out. Let's pray a long prayer.

Jesus speak to us today, amen.

Life.Church

family, the divine intersection and really

collision of characters in the scripture we read today, immediately gave me a nostalgic,

parental fatherhood

flashback to November, 2014. I remember it quite vividly 'cause I

was getting ready to leave our home in Dallas, Texas to go preach at a conference,

which isn't anything unusual. I often will go leave and preach at a conference. Except

this time, everythi

ng was different. Everything was different. Because not just leaving

the house as a husband. This time I was leaving the house as a father. My firstborn

daughter Everly, we call her Evie. She had just been born, and I was in that emotional

position of leav

ing my firstborn daughter for the very first time. Come on, every parent

will attest to the fact, things are just different with your first child. Come on, there are

things that happen with your first child that none of your other children will experience,

okay? Like now my wife Taylor and I, now we have three kids, plus a demonic dog. So,

when I leave the house now, I leave like I got warrants for my arrest. And I take the long

scenic route home, okay? In fact, often Taylor will call me sometimes with just

chaos in

the background. She'll be like "Babe, where are you?" I'm like, "I'm in traffic." She's like

DFTR_2_

"No, you're in the driveway. I see you come in the house and help me with these kids."

But when it's your first it's different, so I was emotional to say

the least. Tears are going

this way, snots going the other way. Big dramatic exit, and I get to the conference, I'm

still emotional when I walk in the conference, and a guy by the name of Eddie James is

leading worship, when I go to the conference. Finish

preaching and sermon was short

that night, and I go in the green room afterwards and Eddie James the worship leader

says, "Robert congrats on your daughter, she's beautiful. " I said, "Thank you, I made

her." I then said, "Hey, Eddie, you know, my daughte

r Evie might not have ever been

born if it wasn't for you." Eddie looked at me like I had lost my mind. I said, "Eddie, you

probably don't remember this, but in December 2006, you were scheduled to lead

worship and preach at Christ for the Nations Institut

e in Dallas, Texas. But in route to

Dallas, your van broke down on the side of the road. Eddie goes, "I remember that

night." I said, "Eddie, you picked up your phone, and you called a man by the name of

Adam McCain, and you let him know that by the time y

our van would be fixed, there

was no way you would make the service so you had to cancel. Adam McCain got off the

phone with you, and looked at a room full of people and said, 'Eddie James just

canceled for our Tuesday night Student Chapel, who in the worl

d are we gonna get last

minute to fill his spot?' In that room was a man by the name of Brian May. He lifts up his

hand and says, 'Hey, I just heard this young guy named Robert Madu preach. He's local

here in Dallas, maybe he can do it.' All of a sudden my

phone rings and a voice on the

other line says, 'Is this pastor Robert Madu?' I immediately dropped my voice real low

and said, 'Why, yes it is.' He said, 'I know this is crazy, this is last minute, but we just had

a cancellation for our Tuesday night stu

dent chapel. Is there any way you would be

available to come and preach to our Bible college students?' But keep in mind during

this time of my life, I myself am a Bible college student at Southwestern Assemblies of

God University. So I said to him, 'You k

now what, it seems like yesterday I was a Bible

college student myself, what an honor it would be to come impart to your young

people.' Drove from Southwest into Christ for the Nations Institute, I'm about to get up

and preach, but before I do they say, 'H

old on, it's Tuesday. So we've got a testimony

video.' And they show a testimony of a girl in their student body, and she tells her story

of Jesus changing her life. I don't meet the girl. I preached that night, I'm at my school

the next day walking down t

he hallway, a girl taps me on my shoulder and goes, 'Hey,

was that you that I saw last night at Christ for the Nations getting ready to preach?' I

said, 'Yeah.' She goes, 'Did you see that girl on the screen before you preached?' I said,

'Yes, I did.' She

said, 'I've known that girl for years. I've known you for years, and I

always thought that you two would be perfect for each other, but I never said anything.

But the fact that you were there preaching, and they showed her video, you two have

got to meet.'

The next week that girl and I went on our very first date at the illustrious

International House of Pancakes." I said, "Eddie, to make a long story short, that girl's

name was Taylor Mitchell, it's now Taylor Madu, we did what married people do, Evie is

t

he evidence of that, Eddie I am so glad you're van broke down on the side of the road

that day!" And I share that with you, first of all, to give some hope to the single people,

come on. But also to say who would have ever thought that Eddie, and my Evie w

ere

connected? Because their connection is not one that is easily seen on the surface, but

once you begin to peel back the layers, it becomes clear that every single one of us we

do not get the luxury of autonomy, but how do you know all of us are connecte

d? We

are deeply connected. Miracles merge with miracles. Testimonies have a way of

touching each other, we are all connected. You might not like the person you sitting

next to or is in the house with you right now, but please believe you are connected. In

fact this pandemic has shown us that we are more connected than we realize, we are all

connected. It's powerful to understand that our lives are not straight lines, our lives are

DFTR_2_

links, because all of us are deeply and intrinsically connected. In my text

today, Mark

begins by talking about the synagogue leader by the name of Jairus, but then he starts

talking about this woman with the issue of blood. And the reason Mark has merged

these two stories together, is 'cause the two of them are connected. In fact

, to talk

about Jairus the synagogue leader and never discuss the woman with the issue of blood

is really to do an injustice to this passage, because the two of them are connected. Oh

deeply connected. Not on the surface, not on the surface. If you look at

the surface of

their lives, they couldn't be more opposite. Come on, if you look at the surface, one of

these things is not like the other. First of all Jairus is a man, she is a woman, different.

Jairus is named in the text, the Bible doesn't even give u

s this woman's name. Jairus is a

ruler in the Jewish synagogue, this woman can't even come near the synagogue,

because her sickness has made her ceremonially unclean. The culture would suggest

Jairus is affluent. He's probably got some money in the bank, b

ut this woman is broke,

busted and disgusted and has spent all she had on worthless physicians, let me bring

the text to today. Jairus is a Democrat, this woman is a Republican. Jairus is an OU fan,

this woman is a Texas fan, they're just completely opposi

te, they have absolutely

nothing in common on the surface, but life has put them in the exact same place and

position because they both had been hit with something that they knew they could not

handle. How many of you know that life has a way to do that? L

ife has a way of evening

the playing field. Life has a way of hitting you upside the head with some stuff, come on,

that your money can't fix, your friends can't fix, come on, we're facing it right now. Life

has a way of taking your breath away. Life has a

way of making the atheist say, "Ooh

God, I need you right now." Life can hit you with things you cannot handle. And might I

suggest if you're watching this, and you've been hit with something you can't handle.

that means that thing is a job for Jesus. Tha

t's time for you to just throw up your hands

and say, "God, I don't know what to do about this. Surely you can do something." Woo,

look at Jairus and this woman, nothing in common on the surface, both ended up in the

same position, having to push people ou

t the way to get an appointment with Jesus.

Would you do a favor, oh never mind, social distancing. I was gonna tell you to push

somebody, but don't do that. But in the chats, just type push, push, push. And

somebody just say "Push."

-

[Congregation] Pu

sh.

-

Both of them had to push people out the way to get an appointment with Jesus, I love

that. I love that neither one of them had a pretty pathway with rose petals to Jesus, but

they both had to be inconvenienced and push people out, excuse me, push

people out

the way to get something they never got before. You know why they're pushing? I'll tell

you why they're pushing. They're both had to push to Jesus, because desperate people

do desperate things. How many of you know when you are desperate for God

you

approach God differently. When you are really desperate for God. Oh, you don't care

what other people think about you when you are lifting up your hands in worship. Oh,

when you are desperate for God, you will pray three times a day. In fact, let me b

e clear

God did not send this pandemic, but he is using this pandemic to wake some people up

out of their lethargic attitude and complacent Christianity, saying, you need to get

desperate for me, desperate to see change in your family, desperate to see cha

nge in a

generation. Oh desperation will open up doors that complacency keeps shut. There's

something about being desperate. And I love that it was desperation, that brought

Jairus, and this woman, both at the feet of Jesus. Are you bored yet? 'Cause I rea

lly

want to delve into the details of their desperation. Jairus, he gets to Jesus first, and boy

is he desperate. He's desperate because his little girl, his baby girl, she is dying. Hear

DFTR_2_

that, she is dying. When he gets to Jesus, he is not casually approa

ching Jesus. He is

talking to Jesus with the vocal intonation of a 911 caller saying, "Jesus hurry up and

come to my house right now!" This woman is just as desperate. But her situation's been

going on for awhile now, this hemorrhaging that's occurring in

her body. And watch

how much Mark the gospel writer wants us to know that the two of them are connected.

Because it just so happens that Jairus' little girl who is dying, is 12 years old. And this

woman that's been dealing with the issue of blood has been

dealing with it now for 12

years. How many know they are connected? So you got a 12 year old dying daughter,

and a 12 year old disease. So come on

Life.Church

, that just means chronologically

speaking, the same year that this little girl was born, was the

exact same year that this

woman was probably diagnosed with her disease. Come on, that means cinematically

speaking, if Mark chapter five was a movie, and the producers of "This Is Us" were

making the movie. Oh come on, this is the scene where it would fla

sh from the feet of

Jesus, and say 12 years earlier, and go to a hospital, and walking out of that hospital

would be Jairus, his wife, and them holding a brand new baby girl with that silly new

parent grin on their face, and then perhaps walking out of tha

t same hospital is a

woman, tears coming down her face, because she's just been diagnosed with a disease

that the doctors don't know what to do about it. And just maybe they were in the same

hospital that day, but they couldn't even see each other. They di

dn't even see each

other. Isn't that just like life? Isn't that just like us today? I find that sometimes you can

be so preoccupied with your promise, or so preoccupied with your pain that you don't

see other people around you, that you just walk past peop

le that God actually wants to

use you to be a blessing to. I don't care how good your promise, or how much the pain,

don't let it make you become oblivious to other people around you that God actually

might use you to speak life into them. See we've forgot

ten Romans chapter 12 that says

you have to rejoice with those that rejoice, and weep with those that weep, so thank

God for Jesus that made both of them joined together 12, 12, now the two 12's are

touching. Would you just say 12?

[Congregation] 12.

-

Oh come on, across every location say 12.

-

[Congregation] 12!

Come on say it like you had your coffee today, say 12.

[Congregation] 12!

Yeah, how many of you know you don't need a Bible college degree. You don't need

to be astute in

biblical numerology to know there are some numbers in the Bible, God

has given you biblical Blue's Clues that these numbers are a big deal, okay? 12 is one of

those numbers. 12 is a big number to God. Come on, you remember when God began his

covenant with

his people. A covenant that begin by calling out Abraham, his son Isaac

and Jacob, and how many sons did Jacob have? 12 sons to remind him of the covenant,

the promise with their God. Those 12 sons became the 12 tribes of Israel. 12 is a big

number. You r

emember in the Old Testament, the high priests would go into the Holy of

Holies with a breastplate on that had 12 precious stones on it representing those 12

tribes of Israel. Okay too much Old Testament, some of y'all are bored. Fast forward to

the New Te

stament. Come on you know our New Testament High Priest is Jesus. And

the first time we see Jesus teaching in the temple is at the age of 12, and they marveled

DFTR_2_

at how did this junior high kid get so much power and wisdom. 12 is a big number to

God. Do you

know what 12 signifies in the Bible? It is the number of God's power, and it

is the number of God's authority. Do you know what Jesus is saying with the power of

the 12s. He's saying, I don't care what sickness, disease, calamity, or problem that is in

you

r life, there is absolutely nothing you're facing that is not under the jurisdiction of my

authority and my power. He's saying through the 12, I have the power to handle

whatever's coming against you. Oh come on that's good news right there. 12, yeah,

that

's why he called 12 disciples. If it was me I would have stopped at 11 and said, "Bye,

hater." I wouldn't call Judas, but not Jesus, he called all 12 and gave all of them what,

power and authority. 12 is the number of his power. It's number of his authorit

y. Why is

that important? It's important because it is your awareness of God's authority in your

life, that will determine how much you receive from him. Big statement I'ma say it again.

It's your awareness of God's authority that will often determine how

much you receive

from him. See often we look at a passage like this and we reduce it just to faith, 'cause

he said "Daughter your faith has healed you." And how many know faith is important?

Oh come on, you need faith. Faith is the substance of things hope

d for, it is the

evidence of things not seen. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith is our

anchor. Nobody takes an anchor and just throws it in the water. You're gonna lose that

anchor. You better connect and tie that anchor to something. And

watch this, my faith

is connected to His authority, the authority of His Word, the authority of His power to

know that Jesus has the final say. If you don't connect your faith to His authority, ooh,

you're gonna have a problem. See some of you think you h

ave a faith problem. Like

"Robert I haven't got my breakthrough. No, because I don't have enough faith. No, it's

fine, I haven't got a miracle, my faith was not good enough. I didn't pray enough, I know

it's just my faith." What, your face is good. You kno

w you just need mustard seed faith.

It's never the size of your faith. It is the object of your faith. And once you connect your

faith to His authority, your faith will go to a whole 'nother level. But if you don't believe

he's the ultimate authority, then

your faith will struggle. "Give us some scripture for it,

Robert." I'll give you some scripture. Notice the disciples, they're on the boat, and

they're asleep, and they're awake rather, and the winds and the waves start going crazy,

and they're having a p

anic attack, like just like everybody right now. What're we gonna

do, what're we gonna do? And Jesus is chillaxing in the bottom of the boat just . Mark

says on a pillow sound asleep, and the disciples are like "Jesus! "Don't you care, we're

about to die!"

And Jesus gets up, cool, calm, and collected, and just goes up to the edge

of the boat and says, "Peace. Be still." And in a moment the winds and the waves and

everything is calm, and the disciples drop their jaw and go, "Who is this man? Who is

this man,

that even the wind and the waves obey Him?" What did Jesus say back to

them? "Oh, you of little faith, you know why you're shocked? 'Cause you didn't know

how much authority I had. You didn't know who I really was. You should have looked at

me when I was

asleep on the boat and walked up to me and said 'Who is this man, that

is sleeping and snoring in the middle of a hurricane? Look if this storm ain't bothering

him, it aint' gonna bother me. Scoot over Jesus, let me just cuddle with you, 'cause if

you're n

ot stressed about the situation, why would I be stressed about the situation?'"

Come on somebody. God is not in heaven having a panic attack right now. He doesn't

have anxiety, so you can sleep at night when you trust His authority. You don't have a

faith

problem, you have an awareness of his authority problem. And it's my earnest

prayer, that in the midst of this chaos and craziness in the world. That God would

actually strengthen your faith, because you will get a fresh awareness of his authority.

That He

has the final say, no matter what's going on. Connect your faith to his authority.

Can I take you deeper? Jairus, got a house call from Jesus, because that was his

awareness of his authority. Don't forget Jairus worked in the synagogue. He's basically a

DFTR_2_

p

astor, and he approached Jesus just like a pastor would. He said, "Jesus, sir Jesus,

please. You could come to the house. My daughter, she's about to die. I need you to

come over and lay your, we've already got the worship music playing. We just need you

t

o come over and lay your hands on her." He's Pentecostal, too. "Lay your hands on her,

and she'll be healed." Jesus is like, "Cool you want me to come to your house? Cool, I'll

come to your house." And he starts going. This woman, oh, she had a whole 'noth

er

awareness of his authority. Said Jesus, "Ah you ain't got to come to my house, I ain't got

time for that. All I got to do is touch the hem of your garment, and if I touch the hem of

your garment, I know I'm gonna be made whole." And that's what she got,

you know

why? 'Cause that was her awareness of his authority. You don't have a faith problem,

you have an awareness of his authority problem. See this might be one of the most

important messages you ever hear, as it relates to the building of your faith.

Because if

you don't believe that somebody's the ultimate authority, you will doubt the validity of

their words. And you serve a God that says "I am the Word." If you don't believe

somebody's the ultimate authority, you're gonna doubt the validity of their

words.

Come on you've been there before. You ever been at a place of business, you know

they've opened everything, and you knew you weren't talking to the person that had

like the authority. That you knew you were talking to the person that wasn't really

in

charge, and on top of that they had the nerve to tell you something that was

contradictory to good customer service. I mean come on, if you're like me, you know

not rude, but you say, "Can I please speak to the manager? Can I speak to a supervisor?"

Oh,

y'all don't do that y'all are super

-

saved, okay. I want to speak, I'm not rude, I just

want to speak to the person that has the real authority. This happened to me not too

long ago, I'll never forget this experience. I went to a hotel that I had a reserva

tion had

been booked for several months, and the lady behind the desk, bless her heart. She's

like, "Hello a Madu? Let me see, Madu." She said "No I don't see your reservation. I said,

"Um, but it's been booked for a couple of months." She said, "Madu, let

me see. No she

said, "I don't see, I don't see your reservation, and we're fully booked, we are fully

committed. There's not a single room left." I said, "Okay, can I speak to a manager,

maybe, or supervisor or somebody else." She's like, "Oh I can get 'e

m but I don't know

what it's gonna do because I don't see your reservation. We are fully booked, we are so

committed." The manager comes behind the door goes, "Hello, Mr. Madu, good to see

you again, girl move. I am so sorry. She's new, here's your reserva

tion. I found, I'm so

sorry about that." I say, "It's no problem. She said "No, no, no, no, no. For all your trouble

would it be okay if we upgraded you to the Executive Suite?" How is it I went from

about to be on the street to an Executive Suite? You kno

w why, because the right

person that had the authority, knew which button to push and knew what to do. Oh, I

hope you get so annoyed by being up at night and being stressed by what's going on,

and all the crazy news reports, that you'll finally just lift u

p your hands and say, "I need

to speak to the supervisor. I need to speak to the God of heaven and earth. I need to

speak to the Alpha and the Omega. I need to speak to the beginning and the end. I

wanna speak to the one that heaven is his throne and the e

arth is his footstool. I wanna

speak to the one that spoke the world into existence. I wanna speak to the God that has

authority." Oh, I feel like preaching. Somebody give God some praise wherever you are.

He's got authority. Oh, you don't have a faith pro

blem. You got an awareness of His

authority problem. No who has the authority. This woman goes, "For 12 years, I've been

speaking to mid level employees. She said I demand an appointment with the

supervisor." She touched the hem of His garment, immediately

she was healed. I'm

gonna ask somebody to just play softly behind me, I'm landing this plane. I could stop

the miracle right there, I really could, 'cause she was healed immediately. But I can't

stop the miracle there because don't forget, this woman and

Jairus are connected.

Touch the hem of His garment. And don't forget that before this, this woman was an

interruption to Jesus journey to Jairus' house. She was an interruption, just like what's

going on in our world right now. This is the biggest interrup

tion, but sometimes

interruptions are invitations for a miracle. But Jesus was approached by Jairus first. He

said, "Jesus, you got to come to the house, please, my daughter is dying." How many of

you know time is of the essence? Jesus did not have time to

waste. Like hurry up. And I

can see Jesus going through the crowd, and Jairus is probably leading him, going,

"Come on I'll show you where my house is. Come on, follow me. "Come on Jesus hurry

up, hurry up. No, I got to him first, hold on." He's got to ge

t through the crowd of

people. He's forcing his way through and he checks back to make sure Jesus is still

there. "Okay, you there, okay come on." He's going though the crowd, going through

the crowd, then all of a sudden he looks back, and he's lost Jesus

in the crowd. He's like,

"Where did he go? I told him this is an emergency. What is he doing?" All of a sudden

he finds Jesus, surrounded by people talking about who touched me? And Jairus is like,

"Are you serious, right now? I just told you this is an e

mergency. What do you mean

who touched you? Everybody's touching you, Jesus. You want to stop and play 21

Questions when my daughter is dying." Oh, isn't that frustrated when God makes you

wait. Not only does he stop, he waits for this woman to come out of

the crowd. How

long did that take for her to sheepishly come through and admit, "It was me." Then you

just starts sitting there talking to her, while Jairus has to wait And I can see the steam

coming off of Jairus' forehead, like, "Are you serious right n

ow?" The Bible says that

Jesus just let her tell him the whole truth. Another version says she told him, hm, her

whole story. Have you ever had a lady tell you her whole story? Ladies, ladies, I love

you, I'm saying but if you're in a hurry have a dude, te

ll you his story, because he'll be

like, "I'm good." But when a lady tell you her whole story, get you a comfortable seat.

How long was this conversation? I can see the steam coming off of Jairus' forehead, like

"Oh my goodness girl, get your healing and g

o! We gotta get to my house." It's

frustrating when God makes you watch a miracle while you're waiting on your miracle.

Isn't that frustrating? You have to watch other people get a promotion, and you lost

your job. Watch other people post pictures of their

baby on Instagram and Facebook,

and you can't have child yourself. What do you do when Jesus makes you watch a

miracle, while you're waiting on a miracle. Watch other people walk down the aisle.

You've been to 100 weddings. Some of 'em you're looking at l

ike "God for real, she got a

husband for real." What do you do when he makes you watch a miracle, while you're

waiting on your miracles. He will often make you watch a miracle, while you're waiting

on your miracle, and it is not to discourage you. It is to

encourage you, to let you know

that if God did it for them, He can do it for you too. It might not be the same way, but if

you'll just trust him, and know that he has all power and authority. That's why he was

able to heal this woman, and even go to the h

ouse, when Jairus thought all hope was

lost, he said, "Don't be afraid, just believe." He walks all the way to the house, they

already started the funeral. And Jesus goes, "Why y'all crying? That girl's not dead, she's

just asleep." And they laughed at him

. He says, "Oh you think that's funny. Oh, you think

that's funny. Everyone of y'all that laughed, I got a word, get..."

[Congregation] Out!

Come on, this is your season to start doing some cleaning and start checking your

environment and telling some things enough is enough. You got to get out! Somebody

needs to tell fear t

o get out! Tell depression to get out! Tell anxiety, to get out!

Somebody give God some praise if you know he's got authority and some thing needs

to get out, get out. I ask that every head be bowed, all eyes closed. God is a God of

environment. Some thing

s will not get up, 'til first some things get out. Perhaps the

world has stopped. Everybody's on pause. Maybe we have an opportunity to check our

environment. Some things that you've been putting up with for a long time that need to

get out. Maybe a relati

onship. Somebody need to speak to your own thoughts and tell

them to get out. Just because you thought it doesn't mean it's your thought. Tell that

thought of suicide to get out. Replace it with the Word of God. Tell that thought of

giving up to get out! T

ell that thought that God has abandoned you to get out. He's with

you even in the pain, get out. So the dead things can get out. Father, I pray whoever's

watching this message right now, you give 'em the strength to speak to things that

need to get out. Lo

rd, you allow them to rest in the confidence you have all power, you

have all the authority. You have the final say, in Jesus name, amen. God bless you

All of our c

hurches if you're praying for something to get out, would you just lift up

your hands right now. Something you need to go away. Father, we pray, the name of

Jesus, the name that is above every name. God do miracles. As many of you're praying

to get out, th

ere's some of you, you need to pray, come in. Come into my life Jesus. I

need your grace. At all of our churches, or those of you watching online, some of you

recognize I don't know God I don't know his forgiveness. Jesus is the Son of God, He is

the autho

rity. He gave His life, so we could be forgiven. Those of you who would say I

want his grace today, I turn from my sins. I give him my life Jesus come in, I surrender to

you. Would you lift up your hands right now and say, "Yes, Jesus I surrender." Those o

f

you online just say, "I'm giving my life to Jesus today." And as you do, the angels in

heaven rejoice because you're becoming new. Pray aloud, just pray "Heavenly Father,

forgive my sins. Jesus save me. Fill me with your spirit. I want to know you. I wan

t to

serve you. I give you my life. Thank you for new life. You have mine. In Jesus name I

pray."
