  Mark Chapter 7. Let us pray, Heavenly Father.
• 0:08
  Oh, you're such a good father, Lord, you father us well.
• 0:12
  Lord, you're so incredible. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, you are so
• 0:17
  good. Yes, we grab a hold of the hem
• 0:20
  of your garment. Yes, we come in.
• 0:22
  Yes, we receive our healing, God.
• 0:25
  We receive in the name of Jesus, healing from on high.
• 0:29
  God, heal our bodies, heal our bones, heal our infirmities.
• 0:32
  God, I pray in the name of Jesus, that you, Lord, will come
• 0:37
  in and fill us, overflowing not just halfway, not just to the
• 0:42
  top of the brim, but God overflowing into the community,
• 0:46
  overflowing into our families, into our marriages, into our
• 0:52
  workplaces. God, in the name of Jesus, I
• 0:55
  pray that we could be light and salt to this wicked and perverse
• 0:59
  generation. God, I pray in the name of Jesus
• 1:01
  that we finish well. God, give us integrity, God,
• 1:05
  integrity to finish well. God, I pray that we will not
• 1:09
  live distracted in the name of Jesus.
• 1:12
  I pray God, that you'll come and get your glory today in the
• 1:15
  reading of your word. Let your word jump off the
• 1:17
  pages. Let your word jump into our
• 1:20
  hearts and minds. God, let it be the authority
• 1:23
  over our lives, the authority over today.
• 1:26
  God, I pray in the name of Jesus for a sound mind today.
• 1:29
  God, I pray that your doctrines and your precepts, your line
• 1:33
  upon line will be laid today. God, from the foundations of the
• 1:38
  earth, from everlasting to ever lasting, from glory to glory,
• 1:43
  it's your words that will prevail, God to the end of the
• 1:46
  ages. For Jesus is the Word, and the
• 1:49
  Word became flesh, and the Word was God.
• 1:52
  And so God, we get out of our own way, Father, and we lay
• 1:56
  prostate before you, God, and I pray that you will help us to
• 2:00
  gird up our loins, that you'll help us to stand in your
• 2:03
  presence. Father, we do not grovel, God,
• 2:07
  but we marvel God at you, Lord. We are locked eyes with you,
• 2:13
  Lord, we are lockstep with you, God, we are yoked with you, and
• 2:18
  your burden is light, Lord. And so, Lord, we just want more
• 2:22
  of you. We have tasted and we have seen
• 2:25
  that we want more, Father, we're not satisfied with just a
• 2:29
  little, God. You are our everything.
• 2:33
  You are our very next breath. And so God come in, God show up,
• 2:39
  show off. God, you are the one that we're
• 2:42
  here for. God let the fear of man go.
• 2:46
  God, let greed go. In the name of Jesus, I pray
• 2:50
  that we will be here just for you and you alone.
• 2:54
  God, it's you and it's you and it's you, and it's you, Jesus we
• 2:58
  love. And it's in your holy, precious,
• 3:01
  powerful name that we pray. Amen.
• 3:06
  Let's start in verse one. Then came together unto him the
• 3:11
  Pharisees and certain of the scribes which came from
• 3:15
  Jerusalem. Look at this and look at how
• 3:17
  these Pharisees, they just go following our Lord around.
• 3:22
  You know, you can see the hostility that is just brewing
• 3:28
  all around Jesus. He can't get a moments away from
• 3:32
  everybody and the Pharisees, they're coming looking for ways
• 3:37
  to trap him. Let's see what happens.
• 3:39
  Verse 2. And when they saw some of his
• 3:42
  disciples eat bread with defile, that is to say with unwashed
• 3:47
  hands, they found fault. Look at these fault finders.
• 3:50
  Don't be surprised when you have people in your midst that are
• 3:54
  critical. That critical spirit is a sure
• 3:58
  sign of a backslidden Christian. You can see that these Pharisees
• 4:03
  were very critical of Jesus and they were very critical of his
• 4:08
  disciples, and they were holding fast to tradition.
• 4:12
  And by and large tradition is not the issue.
• 4:16
  But by and large, when we hold tradition up over the Word of
• 4:21
  God, when tradition Trump's God's infallible inerrant word,
• 4:26
  we are in danger, friends, of falling into the same trap that
• 4:30
  these Pharisees fell in, which is a critical spirit.
• 4:34
  Verse 3 for the Pharisees and all the Jews, except they wash
• 4:38
  their hands often, eat, not holding the tradition of the
• 4:42
  elders. So it was a common thing in the
• 4:45
  Mishnah, it was a common thing in the Jewish lineage that they
• 4:51
  held the teachings of their rabbis in a higher degree than
• 4:56
  the law and the prophets. And Jesus here is going to flip
• 4:59
  the script. Jesus here is going to beat them
• 5:02
  at their own game. Jesus here knows their inner
• 5:04
  thoughts and motives, and Jesus cannot be trapped.
• 5:07
  And Jesus never broke the law and Jesus never sinned.
• 5:12
  And here you can see how Jesus sees their evil intent and He
• 5:17
  sure is going to let them know and remind them that they are
• 5:22
  man and He is their Creator. For and when they come from the
• 5:26
  market, except they wash, they eat not, and many other things
• 5:30
  there be which they have received to hold as the washing
• 5:34
  of cups and the pots and the brazen vessels and of tables.
• 5:39
  So here Mark wants us to know and Mark wants his readers to
• 5:43
  know the Gentile is who he was writing to.
• 5:46
  And Peter is orating this. And you can see that Mark is
• 5:51
  letting all the people that are not familiar with with all of
• 5:55
  the Jewish lineage and heritage, what they thought.
• 5:59
  And this was them separating themselves from the Gentiles.
• 6:02
  This was them reminding themselves that they were the
• 6:06
  chosen special race of God. And by the way, it's no
• 6:09
  different today. Yes, Jesus Christ came for the
• 6:12
  whole world, but God is still very hyper fixated upon those
• 6:17
  Jews. The Jews are still his chosen
• 6:19
  people and he's going to bring them into the fold.
• 6:22
  Friends, They were meant to be priests.
• 6:25
  They were meant to be the priest for the whole world and to lead
• 6:28
  everybody into a relationship with Yahweh, but they squandered
• 6:33
  their inheritance and Jesus came to buy it all back.
• 6:36
  And He's showing all of the priests, and he's showing the
• 6:39
  scribes, and He's showing the Pharisees and the Sadducees and
• 6:43
  the Herodians. He's showing them the air of
• 6:46
  their way. He was the only spotless,
• 6:48
  sinless one that could OfferUp His life.
• 6:51
  For a redemption of you and me praise God, Hallelujah you verse
• 6:57
  5 And then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, why walk not
• 7:03
  your disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat
• 7:07
  bread with unwashed hands. Now this was not a question of
• 7:12
  hygiene. This was a question of his
• 7:16
  disciples upholding all of the traditions in the land,
• 7:20
  upholding the bylaws that were wrapped around the laws.
• 7:24
  And Jesus very much and very often he would intentionally
• 7:31
  break all of their little man made rules.
• 7:35
  And he was showing them that they were acting in a way that
• 7:41
  is not in accordance with the heart of God.
• 7:44
  Jesus knew how to please the Lord God Almighty and he walked
• 7:49
  that line and he knew exactly what to say and how to say it
• 7:53
  and when to do it. And when you and I, whenever we
• 7:55
  are plugged into the power source, He gives you
• 7:58
  discernment, friends. He let you know what it is that
• 8:01
  the Lord is after, what it is that moves the heart of God.
• 8:05
  And it's obedience, friends. It's obedience to Him and to
• 8:09
  this word that you hold in your hand.
• 8:12
  It's not left up to interpretation, friends.
• 8:15
  It is obedience unto the words that are black and white on this
• 8:18
  page. And if you want to know God's
• 8:21
  unrevealed will for your life, you must obey the revealed will.
• 8:26
  And it's right here. It's from Genesis to Revelation.
• 8:29
  Nothing added and nothing subtracted.
• 8:32
  Praise God, Hallelujah. He's showing them the air of
• 8:35
  their ways of how they are so silly and all their little man
• 8:39
  made games that they're trying to play in their little
• 8:42
  Playhouse that they had. They did not want to let it go.
• 8:45
  They wanted to continue to manipulate the masses.
• 8:48
  They wanted to continue to exceed lots of greed in their
• 8:53
  midst and they would take all of the things that people were
• 8:56
  offering to God. And what were they doing?
• 8:58
  They were using it for their own selfish gain and vanity here in
• 9:02
  the land, and God saw it and He's going to RIP it all apart
• 9:06
  here. And he uses Jesus Christ to come
• 9:09
  in and reveal what all of their evil motives were.
• 9:13
  And he's telling them that God sees everything and nothing is
• 9:17
  hidden from Him. Even your own motives are not
• 9:19
  hidden from God. Your thoughts are not hidden
• 9:21
  from God. You cannot compartmentalize your
• 9:24
  life. You do not have a you on Sunday
• 9:26
  morning and then a you on Saturday night.
• 9:29
  It doesn't work that way. We need to be congruent and we
• 9:32
  need to have integrity and we need to finish this race well.
• 9:35
  Repent of all the times that you've broken the heart of God.
• 9:39
  Repent of all the times where you've made it all about
• 9:42
  yourself and all about this world and vanity and greed and
• 9:47
  lock eyes with him. Move in accordance with him.
• 9:50
  Move lockstep with God Almighty and watch how it goes well with
• 9:54
  you. Godliness with contentment is
• 9:57
  great. Gain, friends, we do not need to
• 10:00
  be so wrapped up in the ways of this world, in the systems of
• 10:05
  this world, friends, it will choke you out.
• 10:07
  We must stay connected to the vine and produce much fruit,
• 10:11
  friends. And here the Pharisees, they had
• 10:13
  missed the mark here, and he's showing them that six.
• 10:18
  He answered and said unto them, Well has Isaiah prophesied of
• 10:22
  you hypocrites as it is written? This people honors me with their
• 10:28
  lips, but their heart is far from me.
• 10:33
  These are Jesus's words and He is showing them.
• 10:37
  He is showing us how we sure can speak Christianese.
• 10:42
  We sure can speak all of these traditional sayings and these
• 10:48
  little verses that come up, these cherry picked verses that
• 10:52
  make us feel really good, but we do not know the entirety and the
• 10:57
  authority of God's Word from beginning to end.
• 11:00
  We do not have it, we do not house it, we do not own it.
• 11:03
  And what do we do? We rely on others to tell it and
• 11:06
  to teach it to us. And we must get into the Word
• 11:09
  for ourselves so that we can have the discernment so that
• 11:12
  whenever the counterfeit comes across the table, you can see
• 11:15
  it. You can spot it, friends.
• 11:17
  And, and that is how we're going to safeguard ourselves and make
• 11:20
  it all the way to the end in here.
• 11:23
  He is telling them that Isaiah got it right.
• 11:25
  They sure are speaking as if they know him.
• 11:29
  But deep down, by and large, their hearts are so far from
• 11:33
  Him. They have hardened their hearts
• 11:35
  as in the days of rebellion. And they're making it all about
• 11:38
  self. They're making it all about
• 11:40
  gain. They're making it all about
• 11:42
  vanity. They're making it all about
• 11:43
  position. And Jesus will have no part in
• 11:46
  that. Friends 7.
• 11:49
  How be it in vain do they worship me?
• 11:53
  Teaching for doctrines, the commandments of men?
• 11:57
  Here he breaks it down. This is the crux of the whole
• 12:00
  matter, Friends. They're holding on to man made
• 12:05
  commandments, man made traditions, and they're holding
• 12:08
  them in a higher degree in a higher regard than God's holy
• 12:13
  Word. And it's no different in our day
• 12:16
  and our our friends. Whenever you see churches
• 12:19
  closing on every church corner, whenever you see people falling
• 12:24
  away, the apostate church. Why?
• 12:27
  Because people picked up on the duplicity and the hypocrisy of
• 12:31
  the leadership and of the churches.
• 12:33
  And they saw that there was no difference inside of those four
• 12:37
  walls than there was out in the world.
• 12:40
  And it was only about the vanity of the pastor.
• 12:43
  It was only about the buckets being passed around.
• 12:46
  And people fell away because they saw that we were not in
• 12:51
  tune with the Lord. They saw that all of these
• 12:54
  people were making it all about things that it's never has been.
• 12:59
  And they were attaching all of their traditions onto the holy
• 13:03
  Word of God. And if people would get into
• 13:05
  this good book and study it for themselves, they would not be
• 13:09
  duped. They would not be LED astray.
• 13:11
  They would not be surprised. They would know that they are
• 13:15
  the temple of God. They would know that we are the
• 13:18
  church. And it's not a building,
• 13:20
  friends. It's not a place that we go.
• 13:23
  The church goes everywhere that you go because you are the
• 13:26
  temple of God, friends, and He has sanctified you.
• 13:29
  He has made you holy because He is holy.
• 13:32
  And He wants us to be the light and to be the salt in this
• 13:36
  wicked and dark generation for this time, for such a time as
• 13:40
  this friends, a for laying aside the commandment of God.
• 13:47
  You hold the tradition of men as the washing of pots and cups and
• 13:52
  many other such like things you do here.
• 13:58
  Jesus is letting them know I'm not going to play your man made
• 14:04
  made-up games here. He is not afraid of men, He has
• 14:11
  No Fear of man. He has broken that down.
• 14:15
  He never had to apologize to anybody.
• 14:20
  Jesus meant what he said, and He said what he meant, and He's
• 14:23
  showing them the error of their ways.
• 14:26
  And we would do well to take heed to these words.
• 14:31
  If we have let anything creep in to our lives that is not in this
• 14:39
  holy book, then we are in error. If you cannot find the Word of
• 14:48
  God speaking all of the traditions that you uphold
• 14:55
  higher than His Word, we are in danger, friends.
• 14:59
  And He's showing them that the washing of pots and cups cannot
• 15:06
  supersede God's word, and they were in danger of holding
• 15:11
  tradition higher than God's Word. 9 And he said unto them,
• 15:15
  full well, you reject the commandment of God, that you may
• 15:19
  keep your own tradition. It doesn't get much plainer than
• 15:24
  that. It does not get much more matter
• 15:26
  of fact than that. They are upholding their own
• 15:31
  traditions and they're rejecting God's Word. 10 For Moses said,
• 15:36
  honor your father and mother, and whosoever causes or curses
• 15:40
  his father or mother, let him die the death.
• 15:45
  So he's reminding them of their law.
• 15:49
  He just reminded them of the prophets, so he's coming in.
• 15:54
  This is how genius Jesus Christ is.
• 15:58
  He is all knowledge wrapped up in humanity.
• 16:03
  He is the Godhead, He is the Trinity, He is all wisdom.
• 16:10
  And he's showing them through the law and the prophets that
• 16:14
  they are in error. He's telling them what Moses
• 16:17
  said. He just told them what Isaiah
• 16:19
  said. 11 But you say, if a man shall say to his father or
• 16:23
  mother, it is Corbin, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever you
• 16:29
  might be profited by me, he shall be free.
• 16:32
  So he here, Mark, make sure that he adds in what this Corbin
• 16:38
  means. And Jesus here is showing the
• 16:42
  Pharisees that they are using God's ways to exact over their
• 16:52
  own parents, not just their fellow men, their fellow
• 16:57
  countrymen, their own heritage, but their own mother and father.
• 17:02
  They are robbing. 12 And you suffer him no more to do all for
• 17:08
  his father or his mother. 13 making the word of God of none
• 17:13
  effect through your tradition, which you have delivered, and
• 17:16
  many such like things you do. And here Jesus is proving a
• 17:21
  point. Friends here, Jesus is making
• 17:23
  sure that they understand that they cannot trap him, they
• 17:27
  cannot put him in a box, they cannot get him to stumble over
• 17:32
  his words. Jesus Christ is so perfect.
• 17:36
  Jesus Christ is always right. And all of these words are our
• 17:45
  law, All of these words are our prophecy.
• 17:49
  All of these words are our North Star, our guiding light, our
• 17:54
  road map. It is going to get us to Jesus
• 17:58
  is going to get us home, friends.
• 18:00
  And we need to, by and by, rely on every syllable, every jot,
• 18:05
  and every title. And he's making it as plain as
• 18:08
  humanly possible, friends. 14 And when he had called all the
• 18:16
  people unto him, he said unto them, Listen to me, everyone of
• 18:21
  you, and understand. Now when Jesus says, listen to
• 18:25
  me, we would do well to pause, to lock in, and to make sure
• 18:30
  that we are paying attention to what he is saying. 15 There is
• 18:35
  nothing from outside a man that enters into him that can defile
• 18:43
  him, but the things which come out of him, those are they that
• 18:48
  defile the man. So here the Pharisees were so
• 18:51
  wrapped up in the washing of the hands and the pots and the
• 18:55
  plates, and they thought that that was the defilement.
• 18:59
  And they thought of themselves as some super race that they
• 19:05
  were going to be set apart from the rest of the world.
• 19:08
  And they thought to themselves that they were better than
• 19:12
  everyone. And that was never God's plan.
• 19:15
  Listen to what Jesus is saying. He is showing us that it is not
• 19:20
  what goes in. And here He's releasing us from
• 19:24
  all of the kosher laws that they have.
• 19:27
  He is releasing us and letting us know that those things that
• 19:31
  when he was giving them over to Moses, when he was given the law
• 19:36
  about all of the things, it was for their own well-being.
• 19:39
  And then now as we progress, we can see that a lot of those
• 19:44
  things have been eradicated. The diseases and the things that
• 19:49
  would have killed them. God knows best and hear Jesus in
• 19:53
  this time, and He's going to do it later with Peter on the
• 19:55
  rooftop, with the letting down of the sheet, with all the
• 19:59
  animals. He is letting us know that it
• 20:02
  is. It's not our duty to stay
• 20:04
  kosher. We do not have to.
• 20:06
  We have to only abstain from sexual immorality and we have to
• 20:11
  abstain from meat that has been sacrificed to idols.
• 20:15
  Other than that, we are free friends.
• 20:17
  And he's going to tell them that it's what goes in that defiles
• 20:21
  or it's not that what goes in is what comes out.
• 20:24
  And he's going to tell us that it is the intentions.
• 20:27
  Our intentions inside of our heart is what's coming out that
• 20:31
  defiles us. Friends. 16 If any man have ears
• 20:36
  to hear, let him hear. So he just said in 14 listen to
• 20:40
  me, everyone of you understand. Then in 16 if you have ears,
• 20:46
  listen up. 17 And when he was entered into the house from the
• 20:49
  people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. 18 And
• 20:55
  he said unto them, Are you so without understanding?
• 20:58
  Also? Do you not perceive that
• 21:01
  whatsoever thing from without entering into the man, it cannot
• 21:06
  defile him, 19 because it enters not into his heart, but into the
• 21:11
  belly and goes out into the drought, purging all meats.
• 21:15
  He's saying that eventually it's going to make its way back out.
• 21:20
  But the things that we store in our heart, the things that we
• 21:25
  meditate upon are the things that get us in trouble, friends.
• 21:30
  And He's showing them that they do not need to stay over there
• 21:34
  in preschool and in elementary school.
• 21:37
  They need to be a student of His words.
• 21:42
  They need to know and meditate upon the higher things.
• 21:45
  We cannot just behave like animals, friends.
• 21:49
  We do not need to be so debased and so degraded.
• 21:53
  God is calling us into a higher level of meditation and thinking
• 21:58
  upon eternal things, things that actually have eternal value.
• 22:03
  We cannot be so wrapped up in this world.
• 22:08
  Yes, we love our neighbor as ourselves and we love God more
• 22:12
  than any, and we need to make sure that we are living in light
• 22:16
  of eternity. And that's what He's inviting us
• 22:18
  into, Friends. 20 And he said that which comes out of the man
• 22:25
  that defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men
• 22:32
  proceed evil thoughts. Adultery, fornication, murder,
• 22:46
  thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit,
• 22:59
  lasciviousness, evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
• 23:17
  All these evil things come from within and defile the man.
• 23:26
  Jesus did not stutter. Jesus shows us all of the things
• 23:34
  that we're storing up in our hearts, and if we're not
• 23:37
  careful, they will take root and they will manifest themselves
• 23:42
  into our actions and they will not just stay as thoughts.
• 23:51
  After we get done entertaining an evil thought, it starts to
• 23:57
  take root. If you do not take those
• 23:59
  thoughts captive and make them obedient unto this word unto
• 24:04
  Jesus Christ, friends, what will happen is you will wind up in a
• 24:08
  place that you never saw yourself.
• 24:12
  This is where so many moral failures happen is because it
• 24:17
  was the secret sin that was first entertained in the mind
• 24:22
  that took root and it LED them away.
• 24:31
  It LED them into a place that they never thought that they
• 24:37
  would ever be, and it was because they did not obey His
• 24:42
  word. Evil thoughts lead to adultery.
• 24:53
  Evil thoughts lead to fornication.
• 24:56
  Evil thoughts lead to murder. Evil thoughts lead to theft.
• 25:04
  Evil thoughts lead to the coveting of what others have,
• 25:12
  wanting what others have. Evil thoughts lead to the
• 25:15
  wickedness that it abounds all around us.
• 25:20
  The evil thoughts lead to deception.
• 25:24
  The evil thoughts lead to blasphemy and pride and
• 25:29
  foolishness. They all are housed within
• 25:35
  before they come out on full display.
• 25:42
  We would do well to take those thoughts captive, to stomp the
• 25:48
  head of the serpent immediately. Do not entertain those thoughts.
• 25:53
  24 And from there he arose and went into the borders of Tyre
• 25:58
  and Sidon and into a house, and would have no man know it, but
• 26:02
  he could not be hid. You, you can't hide Jesus.
• 26:07
  Jesus is on full display. All of creation proclaims his
• 26:11
  name, so that man is without excuse, Jesus.
• 26:15
  The glory of Jesus is on full display.
• 26:18
  Friends, look around. It's everywhere.
• 26:21
  It's in people. You can see the creative hand of
• 26:25
  God, the handiwork of God on the human.
• 26:29
  You can see it in the trees, you can see it in the animals, you
• 26:33
  can see it in the mountains and in the ocean.
• 26:36
  You can see it in all of geography and the topography.
• 26:41
  You can see it in archaeology. You can see it friends all over
• 26:47
  architecture. You can see it in the
• 26:50
  creativeness all around you. It is God's hand and even the
• 26:58
  rocks will cry out if we do not. Jesus cannot be hid, He's all
• 27:04
  around. We must look for Him and have
• 27:06
  the blinders taken off so we can see, so we can truly see the
• 27:11
  spiritual realm happening all around US. 25 for a certain
• 27:16
  woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him
• 27:20
  and came and fell at his feet. That is our appropriate
• 27:25
  response. Friends, fall at his feet today.
• 27:28
  Worship Him in spirit and truth. 26 The woman was a Greek and a
• 27:35
  Syrophoenician by nation, And she begged him that he would
• 27:39
  cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
• 27:43
  So we know that this Syrophoenician woman, she is
• 27:48
  coming to him and begging Jesus to heal her little daughter. 27
• 27:54
  But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled, for it
• 27:59
  is not meat to take the children's bread and to cast it
• 28:02
  unto the dogs. Here Jesus is likening her to a
• 28:09
  dog, and he is saying that during this time he is sending
• 28:15
  out his disciples to the Jewish nation 1st and then it would
• 28:22
  creep in to all the Gentiles. He's saying first let the Jews
• 28:27
  make their decision before the Gentiles are reached.
• 28:31
  And here she catches a glimpse of what is to come.
• 28:34
  Here she understands the deity of Jesus Christ.
• 28:38
  She understands that he is not just for the Jewish nation, but
• 28:42
  he is for the whole world. And here she is crying out, and
• 28:47
  she knows the power that he contains, that everything was
• 28:51
  spoken by him that exists and is for him and to him.
• 28:55
  And she is begging him. And sometimes that is our
• 28:59
  approach, Friends, we should knock and knock and knock and
• 29:04
  knock some more and do not give up.
• 29:08
  Beg him for the healing. When the healing doesn't come,
• 29:13
  do not give up. And do not be offended when he
• 29:17
  calls you a dog. We could do well. 28 and she
• 29:24
  answered and said unto him, yes, Lord, yet the dogs under the
• 29:27
  table eat of the children's crumbs.
• 29:30
  Praise God, Hallelujah for the faith of this woman.
• 29:33
  What a marvel this is that Jesus sees her faith and she says I
• 29:39
  may be a dog because I'm not a Jew, I'm a Gentile.
• 29:47
  But even the little dogs come and eat the crumbs under their
• 29:51
  master's table. These little puppies get to come
• 29:54
  and eat of all the little falling crumbs.
• 29:59
  And you know when we come to the Lord, it's not crumbs, it is
• 30:05
  abundance. Friends, He's going to ask you,
• 30:08
  what do you have? And even if you only have two
• 30:12
  fish and a few loaves, give it to him and watch how he
• 30:17
  multiplies it. 29 And he said unto her, for this saying, Go
• 30:25
  your way, the devil has gone out of your daughter.
• 30:28
  He already knew what he wanted to do.
• 30:30
  He already knew. And she was relentless.
• 30:34
  She would not give up. She gave him the faith that
• 30:38
  moves mountains and it's not about the size of the faith,
• 30:42
  it's who your faith is in and it's in Jesus Christ.
• 30:45
  He can do anything. He's not just hyper fixated on
• 30:48
  the Jews. He loves everyone, He loves the
• 30:51
  whole world, and he already knows who belongs to Him. 30 And
• 30:56
  when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out,
• 31:00
  and her daughter laid upon the bed.
• 31:02
  Praise God, Hallelujah, the healing power is available to
• 31:05
  you today, friends, Cry out unto the Lord, seek him while he may
• 31:10
  be found. Ask for the healing.
• 31:13
  Be healed of all your sins, friends, which is the greatest
• 31:17
  healing that could ever come, is to be forgiven of all of your
• 31:20
  sins and to know that you're going to bust heaven wide open.
• 31:25
  31 And again departing from the coast of Tyre and saidon he came
• 31:29
  unto the Sea of Galilee through the midst of the coast of
• 31:33
  Decapolis. So you remember, he sent legion,
• 31:38
  He sent the Demoniac, He sent him where?
• 31:42
  Into Decapolis, Here are these 10 cities.
• 31:46
  And Jesus told him, no, don't follow me, but go and tell
• 31:50
  everyone all the things I've done for you.
• 31:53
  And he went and published all the things that Jesus did for
• 31:56
  him throughout the Decapolis and throughout his area.
• 32:01
  And here Jesus, after all that Jesus is going into Decapolis,
• 32:05
  let's see what he has to say. 32 And they brought unto him one
• 32:09
  that was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and
• 32:14
  they begged him to put his hand upon him.
• 32:17
  You know, Jesus is limitless in the way that he can heal us.
• 32:21
  He's limitless in his resources. He's limitless in his power,
• 32:25
  friends. 33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and he
• 32:30
  put his fingers into his ears, and he spit and touched his
• 32:34
  tongue. Praise God.
• 32:35
  Hallelujah for Jesus's spit, for Jesus's methods, for Jesus's
• 32:42
  power. And here Jesus is showing us
• 32:46
  that there are many different ways that the healing comes.
• 32:49
  It is not just one way. If you have tried everything,
• 32:54
  try again. If you have laid on your face
• 32:57
  prostate with tears, fast. And if the prayer and the
• 33:04
  fasting does not move that mountain, then pray and fast
• 33:09
  some more. Friends, do not give up.
• 33:12
  If you have breath in your lungs, it's not too late.
• 33:15
  The Lord can do anything. 34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed
• 33:20
  and said unto him, F Fatah, that is, be open.
• 33:25
  And straightway his ears were open, and the string of his
• 33:29
  tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.
• 33:33
  That's what happens when you come to the Lord.
• 33:35
  That's what happens when you get healed from the Lord.
• 33:38
  The Lord helps you to speak plainly about His Word.
• 33:45
  It's black and white, friends. He gave you the full authority
• 33:49
  of His Word. And we are so preoccupied with
• 33:52
  wanting to know all of the extra biblical things, then we're not
• 33:56
  even locked in to the words that He's already given us.
• 33:59
  We need to make it plain, friends, and He could not have
• 34:02
  made it more humanly plain than from Genesis to Revelation and
• 34:07
  all. We are not inventors of new
• 34:09
  things. All we do is bring up all of the
• 34:15
  jewels in the gems in the well, source of all the resources that
• 34:21
  He's already entrusted to us. We must obey those things before
• 34:25
  we ever see new light. Jesus has given us the ability
• 34:31
  to speak plain in our theology and doctrine, and we do not need
• 34:35
  to deviate left or right or add anything to it.
• 34:39
  There is nothing that needs to get added to the Word of God for
• 34:42
  people to be saved. It is the full authority.
• 34:46
  Friends make it plain, speak plainly. 36 And he charged them
• 34:52
  that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so
• 34:55
  much more, the great deal. They published it.
• 34:58
  You cannot hide this man. You cannot hide his word.
• 35:01
  It is going to come out. It is going to be mainstream.
• 35:05
  You can't do anything with. It doesn't matter which network
• 35:09
  you turn on. It does not matter which channel
• 35:13
  you tune into. It does not matter.
• 35:15
  It's Jesus all over everything and if people are trying to RIP
• 35:19
  him out, people are trying to get rid of him and all they're
• 35:22
  doing is trying to clear their conscience because he is
• 35:26
  convicting them and they do not want to listen to the
• 35:30
  conviction, so they want to do away with them.
• 35:33
  But you can't do anything with him.
• 35:35
  He is here to stay. Friends.
• 35:37
  It's all about him. We'll end on 37, and we're
• 35:41
  beyond measure astonished, saying he has done all things
• 35:45
  well. He makes both the deaf to hear
• 35:49
  and the dumb to speak. And you will see greater things,
• 35:53
  friends. You will see mightier works than
• 35:57
  these, Jesus Christ coming in glory with all the angels and
• 36:07
  with all the Saints coming to rule and reign for 1000 years.
• 36:12
  You will see the New Jerusalem coming down.
• 36:16
  You will see God Almighty coming to be with us forever.
• 36:23
  You will see greater things than this.
• 36:25
  Let's not get tripped up and trapped in the here and the now.
• 36:30
  Yes, we need to be light and salt to this generation.
• 36:34
  Light and salt for our little lifetime that He's given us.
• 36:40
  But greater things are to come. Friends, we've only touched the
• 36:47
  tip of the iceberg. We've only got to see glimpses
• 36:52
  of His glory, glory, Hallelujah, glory descending on us and
• 36:59
  enveloping us and encapsulating and rapturing us in His love and
• 37:05
  His mercy and His might and His power.
• 37:09
  This holy reverence in awe for the King of kings and the Lord
• 37:14
  of Lords, Faithful, true, righteous, our King Jesus comes
• 37:23
  riding in praise God, Hallelujah.
• 37:26
  I hope you've been blessed by this chapter here and Mark, I
• 37:29
  know I sure have. Praying for every single one of
• 37:36
  you. I love you, so does God.
• 37:43
  We'll see you back here tomorrow.
• 37:45
  God bless you.
