 Faith cannot be greater than your view of Jesus. Faith cannot be greater than your view of Jesus. So Jesus comes to the wedding and the next verse problem happens. And so we derive from that that faith is not just simply when you have Jesus it means no problems. It's just you can overcome those problems. They won't define you, they won't defeat you and you won't smell like them when it's all over. When the problem happens I want you to notice who comes to Jesus first. When the problem happens I want you to notice who comes to Jesus first. It's his mom. I want you to listen to me very carefully. She's coming to him. Now I've mentioned before in the beginning of the message Jesus up to this point has never done one miracle. How is she certain he can do something that he has not done in the past 30 years? Why him? What makes her think that if he hasn't done anything in the past 30 years he's going to do something right now? Do you think this is the first time they ran into a problem? Of course not. What makes her think that the baby she nursed, taught how to walk, taught how to eat and still probably did his laundry can do something about this problem? Have you ever had a relationship with God for so long and he hasn't done anything in your life? And you stopped believing? You're like I have him, I love him, he's awesome, he's great. Doesn't do anything in my life. What do you do? You know what I love Mary for? For 30 years she has not seen Jesus do one miracle. But she still had a view in her mind defined by angels. The angels who said he is not a baby. He's a king. 30 years he's not acting like a king. He's still acting like a Jewish man. Simon, the wise man from the east, the angel from God who said that this is not an ordinary baby. This is God and steroids. This is going to turn the world upside down. This is going to be something different. And she's living, he's 15, he's 16, he's 17, he's 19, he's 20, he's 25, he's 29, he's 30 and nothing is happening. She still has the view of him by what God said not by what he has not done. This is really the root of faith. It's when you can believe and view God by his word, not by the things he has not yet done in your life. And maybe it's been 30 years that it feels like, well, I've known him, I've loved him, I believed in him, but I has not seen what it says in here that he can do. Do you have the guts and the audacity to maintain a view of Jesus that is congruent and consistent with his word, not with your past failure and experience? It's secret of faith. I'm blown away by Mary. She's not an ordinary woman. To maintain a view that Jesus can do something amazing in this wedding, though she has never seen him do it for 30 years, gives her the right to come to Jesus and say, Jesus, you've got to do something. Your faith cannot be greater than your view of Jesus. If your view of Jesus is, well, I prayed for him for this, I prayed for him for that, and I asked him for that, and this didn't happen, that didn't happen, didn't happen, so guess what happens? Nothing happens with Jesus. Let me be prophetic on you for a moment. Nothing will ever happen in your life. You can receive, there's a prophetic declaration, and you will see that that will be true. Miracles don't happen when your faith is based on what God has not done. Miracles happen when you still have a view of God. Though you look in your life and you see, there is just none of that what the Bible talks about. This Vlad, this Pastor Vasili, other people talk about God can do miracles, God can change your marriage, God can help you like nothing, 30 years, nothing. Be like Mary. Have a view of Jesus that's not based on what he has not done, but based on what he has promised. And you will see one day, it's not going to be just Jesus. It's going to be your healer. He's going to be your savior. He's going to be who will take you from zero to a hero, from a mess to a message, from pain to gain, from hurt to healing. He's going to take your scars, turn them into stars, and you will see Jesus that, oh, he's so much better. And Jesus that you feel like, well, I did laundry for him. I brought tithing. I'm helping his kingdom, but he's not helping me. Faith cannot go bigger than my view of Jesus. I got to protect my view of Jesus even when I don't see him do anything for some time. Because if I keep it one day, I will come to him and I will see him do it for the first time. It's so good to see when Jesus does a miracle for somebody for the first time. I've seen it already so many times. When Jesus does a miracle for somebody for the first time. I remember when I heard the testimony in the beginning of this year where a lady from Kent in a conference when the prayer was offered and I prayed for healing for already four months. But I never dared to ask for testimonies because I was convinced there was none. And I didn't want to discourage my faith completely. So I wanted to protect my faith. And so I didn't ask for testimonies. And it was for the safety of my faith. And I remember this particular Sunday, this gentleman, he comes here. I don't think they didn't come for Saturday. I think they came just for Sunday for screening. And as I was screening him for the prayer and he says, hey, by the way, my wife had this problem, had this sickness. And a few months ago when you were there in Kent and you offered prayer for healing, my wife, she felt heat in her shoulder and she was healed. My jaw dropped. I said, you said what? He's like, well, she still has a few sicknesses. I'm like, I don't care about the sicknesses. Tell me about what happened. And he begins to tell me and I was embarrassed to go look for his wife and ask him, hey, tell me. I sent my wife to do that. I said, hey, can you go and ask his wife what happened? And she went and she's like, yeah, I confirmed. She says that her doctor confirmed that her shoulder is brand new. And I was like, can you ask her to share on the service? Not for you guys. It was for me. And Lana interviewed that lady right here in the stage and the lady testified. When she testified, this was the honestly for me is what happened in John 2. Oh my goodness. God heals. I've played testimonies from Scone for years. I've seen that, but it's different when it happens to you. It's your first time. And at that night, we took a trip to Portland and we saw seven people come get up and testify of healing. And from that weekend, every single time I go anywhere that has not been once where somebody wasn't getting healed. Somebody say my first time. Somebody say his first time. See, don't think that just because it didn't happen for so long, it won't happen. Don't lose your view of how good Jesus is. Just because you didn't see certain things happen. Because if you do that, for sure nothing's gonna happen. But if you can keep them view. And sometimes when you smol thing happens, let your faith explode. To lead you to something greater.
