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
NOTICE--- NOTICE --- NOTICE
BECAUSE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO TOLD
BARTIMEAUS TO SHUT UP
IS THE SAME PEOPLE JESUS USES TO
TELL BARTIMEAUS TO COME HERE
IN OTHER WORDS GOD WILL BLESS YOU
IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR ENEMIES
BUT WE HAVE TO CONQUER PUBLIC
OPINION
***********************************
WELL NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE TO
CONCENTRATE ON OUR ASSETS
AND CONQUER PUBLIC OPINION
BUT BARTIMEAUS ALSO TEACHES US
THAT WE HAVE TO CAST OFF OUR
GARMENTS
BECAUSE WHEN BARTIMAEUS GOT UP
TO GO TO WHERE JESUS WAS
THE 1ST THING HE DID WAS CAST HIS
GARMENT TO THE SIDE
AND IF WE REALLY WANT TO
OVERCOME THE ISSUSE OF LIFE WE
HAVE TO CAST OUR GARMENTS TO THE
SIDE
BECAUSE IF WE ARWE GOING TO
OVERCOME THE ISSUES OF LIFE
YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF ANYTHING
THAT IS KEEPING YOU FROM GETTING
WHERE JESUS
IF IT`S YOUR FRIENDS ---FIND YOU SO
MORE
IF IT`S YOUR JOB ---FIND YOU ANOTHER
ONE
AND IF YOU CAN`T WALK-------- CRAWL
IF YOU CAN`T CRAWL------------- SCOOT
IF YOU CAN`T SCOOT…………..FIND YOU
4 FRIENDS AND PUT THEM ON THE 4
CORNERS OF YOUR COT
AND GET TO WHERE JESUS IS
AIN`T GOD ALRIGHT
I SAY AIN`T GOD ALRIGHT
BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET TO WHERE
JESUS IS YOU`RE IN THE PRESENCE OF A
DOCTOR WHO HAVE NEVER LOST A
PATIENT
A LAWYER WHO HAVE NEVER LOST A
CASE
A FRIEND THAT STICKETH CLOSER THAN
A BROTHER
WATER THAT WILL NEVER STAGNATE
BREAD THAT WILL NEVER MOLD
YOU`RE IN IN THE PRESENCE OF THE
ONE WHO DIED FOR OUR SINS ON
CALVARY MOUNTIAN
PLACE IN A BORROWED TOMB
BUT EARLY -----EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING HE GOT UP WITH ALL POWER
IN HIS HANDS
