[28] For she thought to herself, "If I can just touch his clothing, I will be healed."
[29] And sure enough, as soon as she had touched him, the bleeding stopped and she
knew she was well!
Mark 5:35-43 (Living) While he was still talking to her, messengers arrived from
Jairus' home with the news that it was too late--his daughter was dead and there was no
point in Jesus' coming now.
[36] But Jesus ignored their comments and said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid. Just trust me."
[37] Then Jesus halted the crowd and wouldn't let anyone go on with him to Jairus' home
except Peter and James and John.
[38] When they arrived, Jesus saw that all was in great confusion, with unrestrained
weeping and wailing.
[39] He went inside and spoke to the people."Why all this weeping and commotion?" he
asked. "The child isn't dead; she is only asleep!"
[40] They laughed at him in bitter derision, but he told them all to leave, and taking the
little girl's father and mother and his three disciples, he went into the room where she was
lying.
[41] Taking her by the hand he said to her, "Get up, little girl!"
[42] (She was twelve years old.) And she jumped up and walked around! Her parents just
couldn't get over it.
[43] Jesus instructed them very earnestly not to tell what had happened and told them to
give her something to eat.
TOPIC- GET -UP IF YOU WANT TO LIVE
WILL YOU REACH OVER AND TOUCH YOUR
NEIGHBOR
AND SAY --GET UP IF YOU WANT TO LIVE
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
THERE ARE TWO MIRACLES ASSOCIATED IN THIS
PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE BEFORE US
THE TEXT REVEALS WHEN JESUS HAD PASS OVER
TO THE OTHER SIDE
AND one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus,
came there. Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet and pleaded
earnestly with him,
“My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your
hands on her so that she will be healed and live.”
MARK REVEALS THAT
THAT JESUS LEAVES WITH JARIUS TO GO TO
JARIUS HOUSE AND ON THE WAY TO JARIUS
HOUSE THE 1ST MIRACLE IN THE TEXT TOOK
PLACE
WITH A WOMAN WHO HAD BEEN DEALING WITH
AND ISSUE OF BLOOD FOR 12 LONG YEARS
WHO PRESS HER WAY THROUGH THE CROWD AND
TOUCH THE HEM OF JESUS GARMENT AND WAS
MADE WHOLE
AND IN THE PROCESS OF JESUS TALKING TO
WOMAN WHO FOUND A MEDICINE SHOPPE IN THE
HIM OF HIS GARMENT
Mark 5:35 (KJV) there came from the ruler of the
synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is
dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
NOW TO GET A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE
TEXT BEFORE US IT`S IMPORTANT TO
UNDERSTAND
THAT THIS TEXT IS NOT ABOUT PHYSICAL DEATH
BECAUSE JARIUS DAUGHTER DEATH IS ONLY
SMYBOLIC OF SPIRITUAL DEATH
THAT HAS HAPPEN TO SO MANY IN THE WORLD
TODAY
BUT NOT ONLY IN THE WORLD -BUT THROUGH
OBSERVATION I`VE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE
A LOT OF SPIRITUALLY DEAD FOLKS WHO
PROFESS TO BE CHRISTIANS
THE REASON I KNOW IS THERE USE TO BE A TIME
WHEN THEY WAS ACTIVE IN THE CHURCH-BUT
NOW THEY DON`T COME AT ALL
THERE USE TO BE A TIME WHEN THEY THOUGHT
EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT -BUT
NOW THEY DON`T BELIEVE THAT ANYTHING IS
GOING TO BE ALRIGHT-BECAUSE THEY ARE
SPIRITUALLY DEAD
THERE USE TO BE A TIME THEY ENJOYED COMING
TO THE WORSHIP EXPERIENCE BUT NOW WHEN
THEY DO DECIDED TO COME -THERE TO DEAD TO
RAISE THERE HANDS
TO DEAD TO SAY AMEN -TO DEAD TO GIVE GOD
THE PRAISE HE TRULY DESERVES
AND THE REASON WHY IS THE DEVIL WILL
HINDER YOUR PRAISE WHEN YOU ARE
SPIRITUALLY DEAD
NOW MARK REVEALS TO US IN THE TEXT
THAT THE WOMAN WITH THE ISSUE OF BLOOD
SPENT ALL OF HER MONEY ON DOCTORS AND
NONE OF THEM DID HER ANY GOOD
BUT MARK ALSO REVEALS THAT JARIUS WAS THE
RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE
AND MOST RULERS OF THE SYNAGOGUE DID`NT
WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH JESUS
AND IT REMINDS US OF THOSE WHO DON`T HAVE
A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS
AS LORD AND SAVIOR OF THERE LIVES
AND SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY IN THE WORLD
TODAY WHO HAVE NOT ACCEPTED JESUS AS
LORD AND SAVIOR OF THERE LIVES
I NEEDED TO KNOW HOW CAN DEAD FOLK LIVE
AND WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO GET UP
MARK EXPRESSES SEVERAL WAYS IN THE TEXT
HOW SPIRITUALLY DEAD FOLKS CAN LIVE
NOW THE ANSWER TO SPIRITUALLY DEAD FOLKS
LIVING IS NOT FOUND IN JARIUS DAUGHTER
BUT THE ANSWER IS FOUND IN JARIUS HIMSELF
YOU SEE JARIUS DAUGHTER IS PHYSICALLY
DEAD
BUT IN THE TEXT JARIUS IS SPIRITUALLY DEAD
********************************************
AND THE 1ST THING MARK REVEALS TO US IN
THE TEXT IS THAT IF YOU WANT TO LIVE THAT
YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN DESPERATE FAITH
THAT`S A FAITH WHERE YOU DENY YOURSELF
AND YOU SEEK JESUS NO MATTER WHAT
YOU DON`T CARE ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY
ABOUT YOU
YOU DON`T CARE HOW THEY LOOK AT YOU
AND WHEN YOU HAVE AN DESPERATE FAITH YOU
WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET TO JESUS
YOU SEE JARIUS HAD A PROBLEM AND HE KNEW
IF HE COULD GET TO JESUS HE COULD PUT HIS
PROBLEM IN THE HAND OF A PROBLEM SOLVER
AND I NEED TO PAUSE AND LET YOU KNOW THAT
A DESPERATE FAITH INVOLVES 3 ATTIDUDES
1
ST ATTIDUDE IS A SELFLESS ATTIDUDE
Mark 5:22 (KJV) PART/A And, behold, there cometh
one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name;
YOU HAVE TO FORGET ABOUT YOURSELF
CAN I TELL YOU WHAT I`M TALKING ABOUT
YOU SEE JARIUS WAS A RULER OF THE
SYNAGOGUE
HE WAS AN IMPORTANT MAN IN HIS COMMUNITY
AND ALL THE RULERS OF THE SYNAGOGUES WAS
OPPOSE TO JESUS MINISTRY
AND THEY PUBICLY EXPRESS THERE OPPOSITION
BUT BECAUSE JARIUS HAD A DESPERATE FAITH
HE FORGOT ABOUT THAT HE WAS`NT SUPPOSE
TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF JESUS
AND WHEN YOU HAVE AN DESPARATE FAITH YOU
WILL FORGET ABOUT YOURSELF
YOU`LL FORGET ABOUT YOUR POSITION
YOU`LL FORGET ABOUT YOUR EDUCATION
YOU`LL FORGET ABOUT YOUR MONEY
BUT WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF IN TROUBLE
AND YOU KNOW THAT CAN`T NOBODY ELSE HELP
YOU BUT JESUS
YOU WILL FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE
AND GO TO WHERE JESUS IS
AND IF YOU WANT TO LIVE YOU HAVE TO
CONQUER PRIDE AND GET SELF OUT OF THE WAY
*********************************************
BUT NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE TO A SELFLESS
ATTIDUDE - BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO HAVE A
HUMBLE ATTIDUDE
Mark 5:22 (KJV) PART/B- and when he saw him, he fell
at his feet,
AND IF YOU WANT TO LIVE YOU HAVE TO COME
TO JESUS AND LIE-BEG AND STEAL
THAT IS LIE DOWN AT THE MASTERS FEET
BEG FOR FORGIVINESS AND STEAL AWAY WITH
THE LORD
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS A LOT OF TIMES
WE GO TO JESUS WITH AN ATTIDUDE BUT NOT
THE RIGHT KIND OF ATTIDUDE
SOMETIMES WE GO THINKING THAT WE ALL THAT
IN A BAG OF CHIPS
SOMETIMES WE COME THINKING THAT THE LORD
HAS TO DO WHAT WE SAY
BUT WHEN YOU GO TO THE LORD YOU HAVE TO
HAVE A HUMBLE ATTIDUDE
JARIUS CAME AND FELL AT JESUS FEET AND THIS
IS THE HEIGHT OF HUMILITY
AND IF YOU WANT TO LIVE YOU HAVE TO LAY
ASIDE YOUR DIGNITY AND FALL DOWN AT HIS
FEET
AND GET RID OF ANYTHING THAT’S HINDERING
YOU FROM GETTING TO WHERE JESUS IS
YOU HAVE TO LAY ASIDE YOUR FAÇADE-YOUR
SECURITY-YOUR AUTHORITY AND GO TO WHERE
JESUS IS AND FALL DOWN AT HIS FEET
James 4:10 (KJV) Humble yourselves in the sight of the
Lord, and he shall lift you up.
AND THE FRIST STEP TO GETTING UP IS TO FALL
DOWN
********************************************
BUT NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A
SELFLESS ATTIDUDE AND A HUMBLE ATTIDUDE
BUT IF YOU WANT TO LIVE YOU GOT TO HAVE A
PLEADING ATTIDUDE
Mark 5:23 (KJV) And besought him greatly, saying, My
little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come
and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she
shall live.
YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO BEG
YOU HAVE TO PLEAD TILL YOU CAN`T PLEAD NO
MORE
EVEN THE PSALMIST SAID - IF YOU CALL ON HIM
HE WILL ANSWER
AND THE REASON DAVID KNOWS IS BECAUSE
HE CRYED UNTO THE LORD AND THE LORD
HEARD HIS CRY
*********************************************
WELL NOT ONLY DO YOU GOT TO HAVE A
DESPERATE FAITH BUT YOU GOT TO HAVE A
STUBBORN FAITH
Mark 5:35-36 (KJV) While he yet spake, there came
from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said,
Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any
further?
[36] As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he
saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only
believe.
EVEN AFTER JARIUS DAUGHTER DIED
JARIUS DID`NT GIVE UP
HE KEPT ON BELIEVING
AND WHEN YOU HAVE A STUBBORN FAITH
IT MOVES JESUS TO ACT ON YOUR BEHALF
AND EVEN THOUGH JARIUS DAUGHTER JUST
DIED JESUS TOLD JARIUS TO JUST BELIEVE
AND A STUBBORN FAITH
BELIEVES GOD `S WORD
AND A STUBBORN FAITH REALIZES THAT THERE
IS NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD
*********************************************
BUT NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A
DESPERATE FAITH AND A STUBBORN FAITH
IN THE TEXT MARK REVEALS THAT YOU HAVE TO
HAVE A FAITH THAT SEPARATE YOU FROM
DOUBTERS
Mark 5:39-40 (KJV) And when he was come in, he saith
unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is
not dead, but sleepeth.
[40] And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put
them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the
damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where
the damsel was lying.
NOW JESUS PUT THE CROWD OUT FOR THE SAKE
OF JARIUS AND HIS WIFE
YOU SEE IF YOU WANT TO LIVE YOU HAVE TO
SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM DOUBTERS
YOU HAVE TO SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM
PEOPLE WHO DON`T BELIEVE IN THE MIGHTY
WORKS OF GOD
MARK SAYS THEY LAUGH HIM TO SCORN BUT
THE CROWD FAIL TO REALIZE WHO WAS IN THE
HOUSE AND
YOU DO KNOW WHEN JESUS SHOWS UP HE ALWAYS
SHOWS OUT
YOU SEE WHEN JESUS IS IN THE HOUSE
SUGAR DIABETES HAVE TO SNEAK OUT THE BACK
DOOR
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE HAS TO FIND A CORNER
AND HIDE
DEPRESSION EVEN HAS TO SURRENDER AND
DEATH HAS TO GIVE UP HIS STING
THE BIBLE SAY THAT WHEN JESUS WENT WHERE
THE DAMSEL WAS
HE SAID THL--I--THA --CUMA-- WHICH MEANS
DAMSEL I SAY UNTO YOU ARISE
AND THE LITTLE GIRL GOT UP AND STARTED
WALKING AROUND
BUT I GOT TO CLOSE HERE LEST I HOLD YOU TO
LONG
I HEARD JOB ASK A QUESTION
Job 14:14 (KJV) If a man die, shall he live again? all the
days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
BUT IN THE John 11:26 (KJV) And whosoever liveth
and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
WELL I HEARD A CRITIC ASK JESUS ONE DAY IF A
MAN DIE SHALL HE LIVE AGAIN
