Sunday Morning Series - Having Faith in Your Prayers - What Did You Say?

Text:  John 2:1-12

At the time of the Marriage of Cana, Jesus had just started His ministry. He's been baptized by John the Baptist, anointed with the Holy Ghost, and the disciples had been chosen. Mary brought the problem of no wine at the marriage feast to His attention. She approached Him as one who could do something about it rather than as her son. Perhaps she noticed He'd experienced a change. So, when Jesus addressed her as, "Woman," it was not being disrespectful to His mother. He was responding in His capacity as Messiah.

Mary goes to the servants and instructs them to do whatever Jesus tells them to do. We don't know if the marriage involved relatives or friends, but she no doubt had some authority to direct them.

When Jesus instructed them to fill the jugs with water, they obeyed without question. Every time Jesus told someone to do something, it seemed to have no bearing on the situation at hand. Think about putting mud on the eyes of a blind man and telling him to wash in the pool of Siloam. Now, they have no wine, and He's telling them to fill heavy stone jugs with water.

After they completed the task, Jesus told one of the servants to bring a glass to the head of the wedding. Again, the servant obeyed without question. The head of the wedding called the bridegroom and noted that the best wine was served first and then the more inferior wine. He went on to say the bridegroom had saved the best for last.

What is Jesus saying to you? Before you hear and obey the spoken Word to your spirit, you must first do what is written (Scripture).

Sunday Morning Series - Having Faith in Your Prayers - What Do You Cast Away?

Text:  Mark 10:46-52

Understanding Unbelief 

There are three main reasons people do not receive healing:

1.  Disobedience - You recognize the truth, but refuse to obey it.
2.  Unbelief - You hear the truth, but refuse to accept it.
3.  Ignorance - You've never heard the truth.

Unbelief is the rejection of truth. Jesus called Thomas unbelieving (faithless). It is not possible to be in unbelief about something in which you've never heard. Thomas heard the truth, but rejected it as untrue.

Blind Bartimeus

He heard that Jesus was near and cried out. There was immediate pressure from the crowd to be quiet, but he kept on calling him. Jesus stood still. Bartimeus cast away his beggar's garment. This item validated that he was indeed blind - like an official license to beg. He was so convinced Jesus would heal him that he tossed it aside. He had faith before he was healed.

Jesus asked him what he wanted. He replied, "that I might receive my sight." The focus is on his receiving not God granting or doing anything.

Sunday Morning Series - Having Faith in Your Prayers - Leprosy

Text:  Luke 17:12-18

Chronic conditions wear you down, change your attitude, and re-shape your vision for the future. A common attitude in healing any time something has gone on long term: It's not on me. It's on God.

Those with leprosy were sent away to live in isolation or with others who had the same disease. Some forms are contagious, while others are not. However, a distinction wasn't made between them back then. Leprosy ate away at the body, causing the loss of fingers, arms, toes, legs, etc. Eventually, it destroyed an organ that was necessary to sustain life and the person died.

In this passage, ten lepers came to Jesus for healing. He commanded them to go show themselves to the priests. There was a procedure to follow for those who were cured before they could re-enter society. Scripture tells us that as they went, they were cleansed. The Greek word,"katharizo," is used here and means, "to cleanse,  make clean, purge, purify.

When one of them saw he was healed (Greek word,"iaomai," meaning to cure, heal, make whole), he returned to Jesus and thanked Him. A possibility is they were all not only cleansed but restored to wholeness with missing body parts restored.

It seems Jesus expected the others to come back as well to express their gratitude. How do we get to a place where we are ungrateful?

1.  We FORGET what we have received.

2.  We REGRET what we have received.

3.  We SHOULD GET what we received. (We deserved it.)

4.  We RESENT what others have received.

They could also have been thinking about what they wanted rather than what Jesus wanted.

Sunday Morning Series - Having Faith in Your Prayers - maybe This Is What God Wants

Text:  John 9:1-41

We've been looking at healing both from the perspective of illness/disease and injury. Jesus handled cases of injury differently than He did with physical illness.

When we see or experience something bad, how often does our mind go to what bad thing must have been done. The disciples asked Jesus a question about the man blind from birth. They wanted to know who sinned, the man or his parents. If a question is based on a wrong assumption, we're going to get a wrong answer.

They wanted to know the cause, but Jesus dealt with the man's situation. He told them neither the man nor his parents sinned. Note: In the Greek there is no punctuation. All punctuation is supplied by the translators. Jesus answered their question. There should be a period after His statement that neither the man nor his parents sinned. The next sentence starts with, "But...," and continues on through the next verse.

The injury in this case was most likely a birth defect. Some part of the anatomy is missing or not functioning properly.

How did Jesus deal with injuries? Generally, the person was commanded to do something. The man with the withered arm was told to stretch it forth. When he obeyed without question, he was immediately healed. Jesus made mud from spit and dirt and put it on the blind man's eyes. He was told to go wash in the pool of Siloam. When he obeyed, he received his sight.

To be healed of an injury, you've got to hear what Jesus is saying and then obey what He said. We get into a position to receive His command when we read and listen to the Word. It's how we become sensitive to the voice of God. If you're not constantly under the Word, you won't hear.
