Hey God ridgely bless you Okay, here we go turn with me if you will to mark chapter 1 verse 40 Here the Holy Spirit has written some spectacular material. It's really quite hard to believe it's Couldn't get any better than that. It's absolutely fantastic and it says here There came a leper to Jesus be seeking him and kneeling down to him and he said to him if you Will You can make me clean now. Let's break that verse down just for a second Be seeking is the Greek word Parolecale. It means to ask someone to come stand by your side and Be there to support you and help you. He was begging for God to come to him and Be with him and to help him and why would he say that well? as you know, he was a leper and The Greek word is lepros and it means to have scales He was dying of leprosy and as you know lepers were outcasts in Israeli societies Kind of like you were an outcast during this Phoning pandemic Where they were quarantining everybody in 2020 Destroying the country and wrecking our economy and ruining the lives of our school children. They did it deliberately That's a different Bible study And here you see an outcast This guy did not live with his family or his friends or a normal society When you got leprosy, obviously it's a communicable disease. He was ostracized and Here he comes begging God to come alongside parolecale come stand by me and Here you see him kneeling down And the reason he knelt down was because he was worshiping him and in this particular verse we see The Holy Spirit showing us that Jesus received worship Okay, let me give you a little tip about worship. I Have never been worshiped Or received worship Because I am not worthy to be worshiped. Okay. I'm just a regular person like everybody else Only divine persons are worshiped Only God is worshiped any other form of worship is What the Bible calls idolatry So he kneels down and he's worshiping Jesus he's calling on God to come to him and He and he's worshiping Christ And he says to him if you will You can make me clean and that's the Greek word Thalo if you will Means Thalo if You want to now hear this dying leper Sees Jesus and he knows he's divine He knows he's the mushiak the Messiah and he says to him After worshiping him I know you can make me well I know that but I'm not sure you want to okay now here is an individual Who has powerful rejection demons who has been rejected by everyone because of his disease and his disability and He is an outcast and so The thoughts in his mind would naturally be everybody else has rejected me Everybody has turned away from me. I Know you can't help me Other people could have helped me in some respect But I know you can help me To the maximum level But I'm but I'm not really sure you want to and that's really true in the 21st century here in Christianity in America Everybody knows that God can do things But they're not sure he wants to do them and Here God answers the question the $100,000 question has been answered right it's answered in this next verse How do we know it's answered well Jesus said I Don't do anything. I don't see my father doing I don't say anything. I don't hear my father saying So everything Jesus said and everything Jesus did he had previously heard Father saying and doing and so what's happening here is that Jehovah the Hebrew God Yahweh Jehovah is looking out through Jesus's eyes And he sees a dying leper Staggering up to him and worshipping him and then father hears what the lever says and Then says I want to heal this lever. I Like this guy and Jesus says moved with Compassion verse 41 now this Greek word is quite remarkable splotnik of my Well, I think of my means to be able to feel the pain of someone else Not like an empath a lot of that stuff is demonic But have you ever cared about somebody so much that when they were hurting you were hurting? It usually happens at the highest level between a mother and a child But you can love someone a spouse or a child or a best friend So much that what they're in pain you feel their pain you can feel it. It hurts you have Empathy and you have compassion for them Splotnik of my is a Greek word that means to hurt in the bowels to hurt here in the stomach Oh, my guts hurting because you're hurting It's it's sympathy on steroids And Jesus is hurt by this man's pain And he's moved with compassion. It says he lifted Lifted up his hand and he touched him. That's something you never do with leprosy because it's transmittable And he said to him here it is they low Be clean. I want to he heard father say I want to and then Jesus said Jesus says I want to and the Holy Ghost in that moment Settled forever the question does God want to help you There's no debate about it anymore. There's no question about it anymore. You're in You're in if God likes a dying lever whom everybody else had rejected and who everybody else Turned their back on You're a slam dunk friend, that's what you are a slam dunk Verse 42 and as soon as he had spoken it See he touched him first He wasn't healed the anointing transferred through the touch and then he spoke it and Immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was cleansed He was cleansed That's amazing, isn't it? Lots of revelations and only three verses, you know, the Bible is so rich friend It's it's difficult to describe isn't it? It's so deep It's kind of hard to believe in time. It's so great. It's hard to fathom at times You know this beautiful story about this this dying lever in Mark chapter 1 Was repeated in Matthew chapter 8. Do you remember that? Yeah Here's what it says in Matthew chapter 8 verse 1 says when Jesus came down from the mountain great multitudes The Greek word for multitudes there is Oculus Oculus means a giant mob They followed him Jesus was to use a slang term a rock star in our terminology now so and so is a rock star That means that they have huge a huge excited following and Behold there came a leper and worshiped him Saying Lord if you will you can make me clean This is the same story only told by a different apostle Thalo again if you want to you can make me clean and Jesus put forth his hand and He touched him and he said Thalo, I want to be clean and Immediately His leprosy was cleansed verse 4 says and Jesus said to him See that you tell no man But go your way and show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses Commanded you to offer As a testimony to them see the purpose of Divine miracles and the reason God likes them so much and wants to heal you and wants to help you is Because he wants you to testify to somebody else Miracles are not to be kept to yourself They are to be shared They're to be shared Jesus heard his father saying I want that lever. I Like that guy Jesus saw his father Reaching out his hand and touching him so Jesus reached out and touched him and then Jesus spoke out What father what he heard father saying Be clean. I want to help you be clean the very next story here is Again the same Jesus went back to Capernaum and as you know Capernaum was Jesus's headquarter on the Sea of Galilee And he had moved there from Nazareth and that's where he lived And it says a centurion hunted him down and came to him while he was At his home base in Capernaum And again, he was doing the same thing. He was beseeching him Parallel came he was begging him to come to my side come with me stand by my side And he said to him Lord my servant is at home with the policy Paralleluticus is a Greek word. It means to be suffering from a spinal cord injury And it says that he is Grevious grievously Bassanizo Tormented that means he's being tortured Bassanizo means to torture someone this child Um The centurion called him a a servant. It's translated as servants in the King James bible actually the greek word is pice Pice means a child, you know like somebody in junior high something like that A sixth grader seventh grader eighth grader something like that. So this was a kind of a grown-up child And he says Jesus immediately says to him I will come And heal him now, you notice there was no hesitation there Do you notice Jesus heard his father say? Yeah, let's go. Let's go Let's go get that kid Let's go healing Yeah, he heard father say that he could see Father heading toward the child. So Jesus said I will come and heal him no hesitation No problemo Then the centurion blows everybody's mind including gods When he says Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof But speak the word only and here's Here it is The loggus is what i'm sharing with you today is the Is the word of god Speak the word of god only and my my pice My child Will be Will be healed How do I know this? Well, he says i'm a man under authority and I have soldiers under my authority So many tells me to go here and go there I go there I tell them go here and go there they go there. They come here I have authority Somebody bosses me around. I boss these people around That's how authority works. He was explaining to jesus that Hey, I'm a person that understands authority Somebody's in charge of me. I'm in charge of other people. I know exactly how it works This person tells that one what to do that one tells us and what to do He's explaining authority to jesus because he's saying to him I understand your authority Isn't that Amazing is I understand your authority. Okay, you're not a centurion. You're not in the military But you have spiritual authority Over the spirit world and jesus says was marveled at the guy That's the greek word for monzo. It means to be in a state of shock to be stunned. What? I don't believe I heard that jesus was amazed at this centurion Because he wasn't even jewish He was he was in a way kind of like a proselyte a jewish convert and The bible and another story says that he had built a synagogue for the jews So he was he was definitely some kind of a follower of jojoba And had great frek respect for ya'll way and knew about the messiah And so the centurions thinking hey this kid. I've seen what this guy's doing I hear about all these miracles This this matches up With the prophecies of isiah. This is the messiah. This has got to be it So this centurion had some familiarity with judeism and jesus says To him I say unto you I have not found so great a faith Anywhere in israel this guy had More faith and more understanding of the moshiach the messiah Then the jews did Can you imagine that you know sometimes it's amazing you know in the mouth of babes And sucklings Sometimes things had come out that you would never come out of an adult's mouth Here you have an amazing situation where a non jew Knows more about judeism than the jews know about it And jesus said something profound after this Quote I say unto you that many shall come from the east and the west And they will sit down with abraham isaac and jacob In the kingdom of habit who are these people from the east and the west well if you have a if you have a A mirror in your pocket there or in your purse go ahead and pull it out and look in there you are The one coming from the west And some will come from the east these are Gentiles These are you This is you Okay, we're in the west and so we're included in this Many shall come from the west that would be you and I And from the east And they will sit down with abraham and isaac and jacob in the kingdom of heaven But he says here's the butt and the butt is a bummer But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into Into what? Outer darkness The greek word for darkness in that verse is scottus it means shady Scottus is a term to describe darkness and light when they're mixed together You can kind of see a little bit, but you can't see clearly it's shady Have you ever been a born-again christian who was shady? Yeah, not good And in this outer shadiness where you can see but you can't see clearly There will be people doing what? oh, man weeping and Doing what? rugmus grinding their teeth grinding their teeth That's amazing here. You have um A teaching that is seems on the surface of a very bizarre in the spirit world when you transition over there It almost seems like from scripture that the spirit man the inner man Looks like a spiritual replica of the physical man The inner man looks like the physical man, but but he's spiritual And the natural man had teeth The spirit man has to the natural man kind of looks a certain way the spirit man does too This natural man has two arms and two legs the spirit man the same The story of the rich man in lazareth again highlights what this just says here Then jesus said to the centurion Go your way and as you have believed As you have believed So be it done to you and his child pice Was healed in the same hour In the same hour the child was miraculously Supernaturally healed from a distance Jesus was nowhere near the child when he was healed, but the man's faith carried the supernatural power of the holy ghost from Jesus Back to his house Where he lived and healed the child And that is exactly how it works today, doesn't it? Yeah, it works great done and beautiful the supernatural miraculous power of god Can be teleported or transported from one location to another Based on how you believe It says it as you have believed so be it done To you not to the kid but to you It was interceding for the child God said You're healed What a great story What a great story this one is you can clearly see here how faith transports The supernatural power of the holy ghost to another location This story was deliberately put in the new testament by the spirit of the lord because The guy was a gentle In a way it was kind of a prophetic story Where you have God saying hey, I'm not just I'm not just reaching out to the jews. I want everybody I want everybody And that's what god wants. He wants everybody Of course, there's free will and well obviously And not most people are not going to be saved But that's unfortunate But that's based on human free will That day the jesus healed the dying leper there in mark and matthew as we just read No other leper's got healed that day only only one came up to him That's unfortunate Gosh, you know if a hundred of them had come up to him, you know what would happen? He had a hundred healed lepers Because jesus would have heard his father saying I like I like a hundred lepers I want all these lepers healed and jesus then would have seen him in his spirit In his mind he saw a father healing. He would have seen a father. He had a hundred lepers but Free will is the key And only one leper came only one Centurion came How do we limits? How do we limit god's power? How do we stop it? How do we? How do we get rid of it? Well, we Get rid of it through unbelief We don't come because we don't believe We don't obey because We don't believe we don't listen because We don't believe Imagine that A hundred lepers could have been healed only one was That's unfortunate But we rejoice in the one that's for sure In my ministry, I see it all the time We have a lot of people come to the deliverance center every week in fact You know and they kind of sit in the back and they don't do anything And during the elder call the anointing is falls at every service It just falls right on top of the people And demons are flying out of people Left and right happened last Friday happened last thursday happens every week But there's always you know kind of a unit of people stuck in the back, you know That uh don't Come forward don't do anything All of them could be delivered all of them could heal but they kind of hold back. They have doubts. They have unbelief You know the struggling A hundred centurions could have come forward that day with you know, somebody needed healing or someone needed to deliver It didn't matter the holy ghost doesn't have any limitations except the ones we put on We put limitations on god and have to suffer the result of it and it's it's painful And it's hurtful Jesus said as you have believed So be it unto you go your way As you have believed Okay, and here we get to the crossroads of life There it is. There's a t in the road If you go to the right you'll see disciples over there And if you go to the left where most of the christians are say it's say 99 of 98 To the left is christians Right to the right are disciples All disciples on the right of the road are christians Almost no christians are disciples The difference between a christian and a disciple is disciples don't take no From the devil as an answer they don't take no for an answer They're not going to do it. Sorry It's not going to happen christians will take no for an answer. Oh, and that's no well to work out Uh, maybe if I maybe I'm hopefully maybe I pray for something else and hopefully and maybe that would be No, that's not going to happen either. You're you're just a christian. You're not a disciple Most of your prayers are not going to get answered Because you know that most prayers from christians don't get answered. Did you know that? Yeah, almost all prayers from disciples get answered A method is a disciple and a christian is a christianus Christianus is a follower of christ or a believer in christ a disciple is a learner christ Methodist a learner of christ The disciples are different than christians completely different Disciples won't take no for an answer The devil takes a dump on them They don't put up with it. They're not going to take it Disciples are not ruled by fear Anxiety cowardice shyness weakness interversion No, they overcame that They Are very similar to the great event british evangelist smith wigglesworth. He said I am not moved by How I feel and I'm not moved by what I see I am only moved By what I believe And that's how wigglesworth lived his life. Wasn't it? It's beautiful. Did you read the wigglesworth books? I got all of them Yeah, they're fabulous But what was wigglesworth doing when he was doing exactly what the centurion was A disciple knows that god wants to heal and deliver A christian isn't sure like the leper You've got the leper kind of symbolizing a christian And you've got the centurion Symbolizing a disciple There's a difference There's a there's a big difference There's a real difference A disciple has already worked through All the failures that a christian is currently experiencing most christians are spiritual losers because They have no patience and no perseverance They cannot persevere on the once facing adversity Once somebody doesn't like them once somebody disagrees with them They bag it They head home They come to god in prayer like the leper, but they're not sure god wants to help them After all the people at church told them god doesn't heal everybody and you know healing went out with the v apostles and They've got all kinds of weird excuses and strange things to cover up their unbelief and their doubt Disciples don't do that. They've worked through that Months or years ago. They don't believe that anymore They know That jesus looks on people with compassion They know he wants to heal them They know he likes people He wants to heal them Yeah, he does he actually likes people John 17 he loves people john 16 Those two greek words as you know are different phalia Is someone you like agape is someone you love Both those terms are used of your heavenly father in those two chapters 16 and 17 really fantastic material That's the heart of the bible right there, isn't it? Yeah, 15 16 17 of john That's kind of the bull's eye of god's word. Boom Those three chapters. There's so many divine revelations in those three chapters. It's kind of hard to believe shocking It's great beyond description I may do that on my next podcast. You never know You got to transition out of being a christian to being a disciple Disciples already have their Doubts and unbelief and questions answered if they don't take know for an answer Doesn't matter what the devil tells him He's always going to tell you no He says no all the time everything is a no to him Christians buy it they go on that's some kind of discouraged I'll go home Think I'll go take a nap Disciples don't take naps Disciples go around Looking for a fight Christians are trying to avoid them Yeah, a disciple is a professional Christians are amateurs They don't have a they have enough of god's word to be dangerous And be involved in all kinds of false doctrines, but they don't have enough of god's word to actually move With the power of the holy ghost When you need a miracle from god, you got to find a disciple or you can't you can't find a bunch of christians You're going to get nowhere If you don't believe me if you have a disabled child A disabled relative a disabled spouse someone you love someone you care good call up a church prayer chain and put their name on I mean almost nothing happened almost all the time nothing happened You only need one disciple And the whole thing turns You got a leper who's a christian You got the centurion who's a disciple That the centurion knew About the power of god the god's desire to heal You don't need to come to my house just speak in here right here just say it right here And uh my child's healed pace He gets up he's no longer being tortured Bossa needs him He's well just don't come don't come over my place. Just speak it right here. We're good I'm good That's a disciple A leper who was a christian says lord. I know you can hear me. Oh man. I'm just not sure I've been debating it back and forth in my mind. I don't know I'm Curious about this and that oh my god some questions about this and that That's a christian That's a christian Christians don't reach out to people. They don't care. They don't do anything simply because they do not believe why jesus said to the disciple centurion As you have believed So be it unto you As you have believed Do that Christians think prayers are answered in a certain way. Well, I've got to get to this this person this preacher I need I need them to see me. I need them to put their hands on me. I need this. I need that I need to outline it this way. Here's how it's done. I need to format. I need some principles I need some path to follow. I need some instructions xyz abc stop Disciples don't do that kind of thing friend. They they don't They don't do that They take whatever the devil gives them and then then just smash and beat it out Yeah You know, you look at roman catholicism. It feels so I sometimes I feel so sorry for them You know, the whole system is based on religions and rituals and religious religious ossity and Wearing certain clothes eating certain foods smelling a certain way wearing a cone had different things Reciting certain prayers reciting out of a book reciting out Of prayer manual. Oh, jeez. Try Jen nuts That's a Christian. That's somebody who thinks oh, it's just it works this way. I got a formula here A disciple disciples don't have formulas. They don't have rituals They don't have any of those things They just look you don't need to come to my house. You don't need to lay your hands on him We don't have to strike up the band while you're coming up the walk. That doesn't need to have it Just speak the word here And my child will be healed there And jesus said Yeah, that sounds good to me. I heard father. I just heard father say that uh-huh As you have believed So be it unto you Go your way Go your way No, that's how it works And in 2023, you know what you're gonna do? You're going to transition out of christianity into discipleship You're gonna become a disciple of god You're gonna get rid of all this riffraff in your family your house your mind You're gonna become a carrier Of god's word whoa bang You're gonna become a very dangerous person in 2023 You're gonna be like the centurion You're gonna be a winner You're gonna transition out of the majority and go to the minority And have you ever noticed throughout all of scripture? It was always the minority that represented god. Do you happen to notice that? Yeah, it's always the minority that represented god. It was never the majority There was a minority there when jesus died everybody had abandoned him You got rejection demons listen the lord jesus I mean, he's there, you know, it's exactly what it feels like to be rejected I mean think about it. He was ministering for three to four years on in israel He must he must have had a few hundred thousand people Healed kind of do it Right, he must have had Thousands of deliverances. I mean he taught a word of god You know like nobody had ever seen it before it was it was unbelievable Shocking actually And when he died almost nobody was there his mother was there His best friend john was there and the women were standing afar off. So there was a collection of women doesn't say how many And nobody else was there Everybody had bagged him everybody and left him Yeah, he was despised and rejected of men the man of sorrows acquainted with grief grief the great prophet isaas said So no matter what you're going through and it was no matter what kind of pain you're involved in He understands because he got rejected far more than you and I ever will 2023 it's not your year to be rejected. It is your year to transition Into a centurion That's what you're going to do And I'll tell you what it's going to be a fantastic and you're going to send me your testimony to mic at hardcore christianity.com Huge things are going to happen In your life in 2023 it has to we're running out of time here The rapture is only a few years away now I can't prove this scripturally, but I really believe it. I think the false prophet And the antichrist are alive somewhere on the earth right now. They're probably in junior high something like that And I think this thing's going down in a few years. I never dreamed That at my age, you know, I'm an old person That I would ever see the rapture. I I really never believed it But in 2020 when I saw satan take over the united states now quick it happened How fast he did it? I changed my mind. I've changed my mind. I think I may hit the rapture even at my age I think the false prophet is alive somewhere on the earth right now. He's the most dangerous human being spiritually that ever lived greater greater even the nimrod 3500 years ago 4000 years ago even greater than him. This guy is the most fearsome Spiritual warlock that ever walked the planet. I think he's alive somewhere I think he's in junior high or something I think this thing's Got a short fuse and because of that you You are on a short fuse on your Track to becoming a centurion That's what you're going to do And then you're going to send me An email
