Review
Mark 5:27-30 KJV - "When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?"
The Press
1) The woman got "in the press" and received what she needed.
2) Many people are "in the press" and receive nothing.
3) How can we get in and receive what we need?
A. God is motivated by our need. He saw our need for a savior and sent Jesus. However, He is moved on our behalf by our faith. Salvation is available to us, but we must respond to God's invitation.
B. If we come to God on the basis of our good works, our desperate needs, or anything else, we'll get nothing because He's made faith the thing that activates His promises.
C. If we go to a grocery store, we must present a form of payment they accept whether it's a check, an ATM card, or a credit card in good standing.
Getting in the PRESS:
1. Pray
2. Read
3. Ears to hear
4. Study
5. Say it
I Samuel 3
1) Samuel ministered before the Lord, but at that point did not
A. Know the Lord
B. Neither was the Word of God revealed to him
2) Just because we go to church, serve in a ministry, do things for God, hear the Word of God, it doesn't mean we know Him, or that we hear Him.
3) We need to develop our hearing
A. Recognize his voice
B. Retain what he says to us
C. Refine or fine tune our hearing
