( Help --------- Jesus I Got Issues)

MARK 10 : 46 -52

46 And they came to Jericho: and when he was going out of Jericho,

with his disciples and a great number of people, the son of Timaeus,

Bartimaeus, a blind man, was seated by the wayside, with his hand out

for money.

47 And when it came to his ears that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he gave a

cry, and said, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

48 And some of them, turning in protest, gave him an order to be quiet:

but he went on crying out all the more, Son of David, have mercy on

me.

49 And Jesus came to a stop and said, Let him come. And crying out to

the blind man, they said to him, Be comforted: come, he has sent for

you.

50 And he, putting off his coat, got up quickly, and came to Jesus.

51 And Jesus said to him, What would you have me do to you? And the

blind man said, Master, make me able to see.

52 And Jesus said to him, Go on your way; your faith has made you

well. And straight away he was able to see, and went after him in the

way.

THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD

VERY BRIEFLY IF I COULD GET A BAPTIST AMEN A METHODIST

NOD AND A SANTIFIED CHURCH HALLELJUAH

I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE THOUGHT

( HELP --------- JESUS I GOT ISSUES)

MY BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS

IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD EACH OF US

HAVE SOME ISSUES

YOU`RE ISSUE MAY BE ONE THING AND

MINDS MAY BE ANOTHER

BUT WE ALL GOT SOME ISSUES

BECAUSE WE ALL GOT SOME TYPE OF

OF OBSTACLE

SOME TYPE OF DISADVANTAGE

SOME TYPE OF HINDERANCE THAT

STANDS IN OUR WAY

SOME TYPE OF HANDICAP

THAT KEEPS US FROM BEING ALL THAT

GOD WANT US TO BE

WEATHER IT SPIRITUALLY OR

PHYSICALLY

AND OUR ISSUES ARE GETTING WORSER

INSTEAD OF BETTER

BECAUSE AS LONG AS WE KEEP

HOLDING ON TO OUR ISSUSE

THEY WILL KEEP HOLDING ON TO US

BUT IN THE TEXT BEFORE US BLIND

BARTIMAEUS SHARES WITH US

HOW TO OVERCOME OUR ISSUES

DEFEAT OUR DIFFICULTIES AND MASTER

OUR MISFORTUNES

***********************************

WELL THE 1ST THING THAT

BARTIMAEUS TEACHES US IS THAT WE

HAVE TO

(CONCENTRATE ON OUR ASSETS )

BECAUSE ONE OF THE REASONS WE

CAN`T OVERCOME OUR ISSUES IS

BECAUSE WE ARE SO FOCUS ON OUR

DEFICIENCIES THAT WE IGNORE OUR

ASSETS

FOR THE TEXT SAY WHEN BARTIMAEUS

HEARD IT WAS JESUS

IN OTHER WORDS HE WAS BLIND BUT HE

COULD STILL HEAR

AND ALL TO OFTEN WE TEND TO FOCUS

ON WHAT WE DON`T HAVE

INSTEAD OF PRAISING AND THANKING

GOD FOR WHAT WE DO HAVE

BECAUSE AS LONG AS THE DEVIL CAN

KEEP US FOCUS ON WHAT WE DON`T

HAVE

HE WILL KEEP US STUCK IN OUR ISSUES

BUT NOT ONLY COULD BARTIAEUS HEAR

BUT HE COULD ALSO TALK

AND WHEN HE HEARD THAT JESUS WAS

PASSING BY HE BEGAN TO TO CRY OUT

JESUS --SON OF DAVID HAVE MERCY ON

ME

EVEN THOUGH BARTIMAEUS COULD`NT

SEE JESUS BUT HE USED WHAT HE HAD

AND WHAT HE HAD WAS A SHOUT OF

FAITH

BECAUSE WHEN BATRIMAEUS SHOUTED

SON OF DAIVD HAVE MERCY ON ME -HE

WAS MAKING A CONFESSION OF FAITH

THAT JESUS WAS THE PROMISED

MESSIAH

EVEN THOUGH HE COULD`NT SEE BUT

HE HEARD THAT JESUS WAS PASSING BY

HE KNEW IT WAS THE ONE WHO

TURNED WATER INTO WINE AT CANA

GALLILE WITHOUT USING GRAPES

THE ONE WHO TOOK 2 SARDINES AND 5

BISCUITS FED THE MULITITUDE AND

HAD 12 BASKETS LEFTOVER

THE ONE WHO HEALED THE SICK

RAISED THE DEAD

OPENED BLIND EYES

MADE THE LAME WALK AND THE MUTE

TALK

THEREFORE WE HAVE TO CONCENTRATE

ON OUR ASSETS

(AND I MIGHT AS WELL TELL YOU)

COME A LITTLE CLOSER

IF YOU KNOW JESUS AS LORD AND

SAVIOR OF YOUR LIFE YOU HAVE THE

GREATEST ASSET THAT ONE COULD

EVER HAVE

***********************************

WELL NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE TO

CONCENTRATE ON OUR ASSETS

BUT BARTIMAEUS ALSO TEACHES US

THAT WE HAVE CONQUER PUBLIC

OPINION

NOTICE ---NOTICE---NOTICE

THE CROWD IN THE TEXT TOLD

BARTIMEAUS TO SHUT UP

AND IF WE GOING TO OVERCOME THE

ISSUES OF LIFE

WE HAVE TO CONQUER PUBLIC OPINION

BECAUSE WHENEVER YOU TRY TO

MOVE FOWARD IN THE THINGS OF GOD

THERE ARE ALWAYS FOLKS (EVEN

CHURCH FOLKS WHO WILL TRY TO SHUT

YOU UP

BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING

FOWARD

IN OTHER WORDS WE HAVE TO BE

PERSISTENT

WE HAVE TO KEEP ON PRESSING AND

PERSERVING

IF WE ARE GOING TO CONQUER PUBLIC

OPINION

BUT HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS

BECAUSE WHEN WE CONQUER PUBLIC

OPINION

GOD WILL USE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO

WAS HATING ON US TO BLESS US
