 Hello, David Diga Hernandez here. Welcome to Spirit Church. Today I'm going to be teaching on faith that receives the impossible. If you're in a situation right now where you feel like giving up or perhaps you're getting a little tired and wondering when your day of breakthrough is coming, I encourage you to stay tuned because not only am I going to be teaching on faith that receives the impossible, not only are we going to be worshiping together and you're going to be worshiping with believers gathered from all around the world watching this, but we're also going to pray together. And when we pray today, I'm going to believe God that as you watch this video, that the presence of the Holy Spirit would descend in the very room that you're watching this from, that the power of God would manifest as your faith is brought to life and that you would receive the miracle for which you've been praying for a long period of time. So today I believe is your day of breakthrough. This moment is your miracle moment. Steve Amakusun was here. He's going to lead us in worship. 2G So entrusted His presence And I surrender And I surrender What He's done in your life What He's doing in your life God we thank You God for this moment God of worship Bringing us together Father Whoever we're at God We can sing it again And I surrender Jesus who loves you God Just forget about whatever it is that's troubling you right now Whatever burdens you're watching this program with Whatever is in your mind Whatever is in your life That perhaps is hindering you From being able to focus on the face of Jesus I want you to let all of that Just fade into forgetfulness And sing with all that you are With everything from the bottom of your heart I want you to join Stephen as he sings I surrender all I surrender all And when you do Just give it all to God Release it all to him And prepare your heart To receive the message That's going to unleash faith That's going to cause the impossible To occur in your life And I surrender And all to Thee And all to Thee It's insane Mark chapter 5 Verse number 24 The scripture says this Jesus went with him And all the people followed Crowding around him A woman in the crowd Had suffered for 12 years With constant bleeding She had suffered a great deal From many doctors And over the years She had spent everything she had To pay them But she had gotten no better In fact, she had gotten worse She had heard about Jesus So she came up behind him Through the crowd And touched his robe For she thought to herself If I can just touch The fringe of his robe Or the hem of his garment I will be healed Immediately the bleeding stopped And she could fill in her body That she had been healed Of her terrible condition Jesus realized at once That healing power had gone out from him So he turned around in the crowd And asked who touched my robe His disciples said to him Look at this crowd pressing around you How can you ask who touched me But he kept on looking around to see Who had done it Then the frightened woman Trembling at the realization Of what had happened to her Came and fell to her knees in front of him And told him what she had done And he said to her daughter Your faith has made you well Go in peace Your suffering is over The scripture tells us of this woman Who had an issue with blood She was bleeding for 12 years And now in the scripture We also know that from the Old Testament And the Levitical Law That if somebody was bleeding constantly If someone was having this type of issue Or this flow of blood They were considered unclean That they were to be separated They were to be looked at As someone who must be avoided And this woman not only suffered To the pain of the bleeding Not only suffered to the weakness That it caused her Not only suffered to the shame Of being rejected and being Considered someone who was second In the nation or second class In that world She was looked down upon She was rejected She was despised She was discouraged And the scripture says That she spent all that she had On trying to get better She paid doctors and physicians And experts And how many times do you think This woman was told Oh, this is the moment This is the time you're going to be healed This is the time when it's going to happen for you Oh, we have the answer over here I have the treatment for you here And each time that she spent her money Not only was she giving them her money She was depositing with her money Her hope She was putting her faith and her hope And her trust and her finance Into these experts Into these medical doctors Into the people of the time Who said that they could help her with this issue So she's not only faced with the shame She's not only faced with the pain She's not only faced with the rejection She is not only faced with the expense But she is faced with the constant disappointment The constant disillusionment The constant getting up her hopes up Only to see them come crashing down again This woman faced upset after upset And just when things look like They were about to get better The scripture says they grew worse Just when she gave all that she had toward it She had nothing else to show for it She wasn't healed, she wasn't any better Not only did her actions Not result in what she was hoping But things began to go in the reverse direction Things began to go the opposite Of what she had wanted them to see Happen Has this happened to you? Have you been believing God for something And you've been putting your faith Your hope Your trust Your resources Your time Your effort Your enthusiasm into this thing And even though you're putting your time Your resource All that you are into this Even though you're praying Even though you're believing Even though you're faithful And you're asking and you're believing God You're going to the word you're praying It seems as though Not only are things not getting better But from the looks of it From the natural realm What you're observing through your own eyes It seems like things are getting worse In fact The solution seems further away now Than it ever has before The answer seems harder to find The destination seems further off in the distance It's almost like the cliche has come true for you You take one step forward Only to take two steps back And this is where this woman was Now not only had she dealt with this issue for a year Because many times we can become discouraged You know You have a bad month You have a bad week You even have a bad day And it's amazing how easily we can become discouraged That the moment something doesn't seem to go away Or the week kind of turns around Or maybe you get into an argument Or maybe something financially happens Maybe something happens on your job Maybe something in your relationship I don't know Perhaps in the ministry But one bad thing goes wrong And we get discouraged One day goes by And we get discouraged One week goes by And we get discouraged This woman dealt with this issue for 12 years She didn't have a bad day She had a bad decade Plus two years And throughout this entire time She's pressing through this problem She's dealing with this issue And things seem to be getting worse Things are tending closer toward disaster And then the scripture says That she heard about someone named Jesus Now I don't know about you But if I were that woman And I had that problem And somebody told me Well, there's someone by the name of Jesus At that point in my life I would have said within my heart No, that's probably just another disappointment But this woman, I love her faith Because in the face of all that had come against her In the midst of her trial In the midst of her storm In the middle of all of the chaos of the situation Not only did she hear those words That there was someone named Jesus who could help her But she allowed faith She had the courage, the boldness, the audacity To allow faith to come alive within her again She said within her heart If I can just touch The hem of his garment, the fringe of his robe Just brush against what he's wearing I can be made whole And she says this within her heart And not only does she say this within her heart Not only does she believe this in her heart and her mind But she takes the action to go And she begins to press through the crowd To try to get to Jesus Now you have to imagine That in order to get to Jesus You have to come around throngs of people He was healing the sick He was casting out devils His fame was spreading all throughout the land They were beginning to understand That he was the Messiah That had come to save all of humanity from their sin So people began to crowd him Hundreds, if not thousands, thronged Jesus Every day of his life And this woman who had this issue of blood For 12 years was probably in a very weakened state Not just emotionally but physically I can imagine that such a disease would take a toll On the body to the point where you would grow weak Where you wouldn't have much energy You wouldn't have much strength Yet with her faith, with her tenacity With her courage, with the belief in her heart That if she could just touch the hem of his robe She could be made whole She begins to approach Jesus And press through the crowd She begins to press through the opposition She begins to press through Shall we say the doubt The discouragement The emotional weight The mental frustrations The negative voices around her My question to you is Twofold Through what do you have to push to get to Jesus? And do you have the faith to go through it? What is it that's standing here? No, no, really, I'm asking you I want you to think about this Because you know what's before you And it's often easier when the enemy is very clear Very obvious, because when you know what's opposing you You know how to pray against it When you know what's opposing you You know how to read the word To renew your mind, to attack it But when you don't know exactly what it is That's coming against you It's a little bit more difficult So I'm asking you right now Identify what it is that's keeping you From reaching the place of the promise What is keeping you from moving toward your miracle? What is that wall of obstruction? What is the spiritual obstacle? The mental barrier? The emotional prevention? What is it that's keeping you From going to the place that you are To the place that you want to be? I'm not talking about self-help or success I'm talking about faith I'm talking about spirituality I'm talking about spiritual growth and maturity I'm talking about the restoration of families I'm talking about the healing in your body I'm talking about the mending of broken relationships I'm talking about belief for God to bless you So that you can be a blessing I'm talking about breakthrough and ministry Where you know you should be reaching A certain amount of people Where you know you can be doing more Yet you seem to be stuck in this place That you can't get out of What does it take to press through? And do you have the faith to press through it? This woman did I'll tell you what kind of faith it takes To press through that crowd What kind of faith it takes to press through that opposition It's the kind of faith that Jacob had Before his name was changed to Israel When he grabbed ahold of the Lord And he held him closely And the Lord told him, let me go And he said, no, I will not let you go Until you bless me The type of faith that can wrestle with God And receive a promise The type of faith where in Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 13 It says, if you seek me with all your heart You'll find me The type of faith that King David had Where he would begin to talk to the Lord so candidly That he would say things like, Lord If you continue to let me be swallowed up If you continue to let me go through this What's that going to say about you? That's bold Or how about the woman who brought her daughter to Jesus And when she brought her daughter to Jesus This turns to her And many theologians, Steve, have tried to Make it seem like he said something else But the truth is, Jesus called this woman a dog He said, the food of the children It's not for the dogs And she says, yes But even the dogs can eat crumbs from the table That's faith, that's persistence You see, the kind of faith that receives the impossible Is persistent faith What was the faith that brought down the walls of Jericho? It was the kind of faith that got the people to march They marched around it for six days And then on the seventh day They had to march around it seven times You know, it's always most difficult Just before the breakthrough I wonder how many people were only 24 hours away From the blessing for which they were believing And then quit I wonder how many prayers have been offered to God And just when those prayers were about to break that wall As we see in Daniel When the captain of the Lord's army comes down And presents himself before Daniel And he says, well, I would have come sooner But the prince of the power of the air, the king of Persia The prince of Persia prevented me from coming What kind of spiritual activity is surrounding the promise When God has sent it, when you have believed for it What is it going to take to have that kind of faith? Often we say, God, well I've been faithful But consistent action is not faithfulness Consistent action, paired With faith is faithfulness You can go through something and not believe You can go through something and become discouraged You can go through something and become cynical And skeptical and hurt and discouraged And that's the opposite of faith But this woman, despite all she had gone through Despite all of the disappointment Despite all of the things that went wrong That she should have gone right for her She said, if I can just touch Not if he can lay his hands on me Not if, you know, he can say a special prayer She had so much faith that all it took for her was a touch You ever see how Jesus works differently For different miracles? In one instance, he spits on a blind man's eyes But through mud In another instance, the centurion says Lord, my servant, and he just speaks the word Why is it that some require to touch? Whereas some require just a word It's because Jesus works with the faith that we have And the Scripture says that to each of us Was given the measure of faith You have faith You just need to start using it You need to start exercising it And the way you exercise your faith Is by action, is by commitment It's by faithfulness, it's by persistence Are you going to just sit back And let all of the promises of God Slip past you You see, your faith is your access To the promises of God But if you don't ever use your faith God might as well have never promised anything to you If you don't use your faith What good are the promises of God? We can't receive anything but by faith I want to stir your faith today I want to remind you that you serve a God Who blesses persistent faith Maybe you're watching me And you're believing for your teenager Or your young adult to come off drugs Maybe you're believing for a relationship To be repaired, a spouse, a child, a parent Maybe you're believing for financial breakthrough Not for greed but for the gospel So that you can be blessed to be a blessing Maybe you're a minister And you're getting discouraged with the results That you're seeing in ministry My question to you is do you have the faith That can receive the impossible? Do you have the faith that can activate The promises of God? Do you have the faith that can lay hold And claim every word that he spoke And the scripture says his promises are yes And amen Moses had faith and it was expressed When he used his staff Peter had faith and it was expressed When he preached the gospel King David had faith It was expressed when he picked up stones To slay a giant Daniel had faith and it was expressed When despite being threatened To being thrown into a lion's den He prayed What is God requiring of you? What is that step you have to take? For some of you, a step is very clear It's very direct It's something you have to do For others, that step is just choosing To let faith have its way in your heart again Maybe you're watching this And you want to be like that woman But you've gone through so much And you've been so discouraged And lately things just don't look like You're not the way you wanted them to turn out Or the way God showed you they would turn out You need to grab ahold of the Lord And say, I'm not going to let you go I'm not letting go Until you bless me And we're going to pray right now And as we pray, as we worship You can be like that psalmist I know the context was his sin But this kind of tells you what his relationship was like He said, Lord, create in me a clean heart Just don't banish me from your presence Moses, Exodus chapter 33 verse 12 to 13 He says, Lord, I'm not even going to go anywhere Unless your presence goes with me because I need you I have good news for you You may have dealt with an issue for a long time We're passing by your situation Walking into the city of your pain It's the one they call Jesus And he's not only able But he's willing He's not only powerful But he's loving He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly Above all that you could ask Or possibly even imagine An impossible situation is the perfect setting For a miracle Believe right now You may have been discouraged But if all this message does for you Is stir your faith again to persist Then praise God But there's someone watching me right now You're about to receive your miracle I'm believing God Now this isn't for everyone Because I want to make sure I'm very... Because I'm going to be held accountable For every word that I say So I don't want to promote sensationalism But there's someone watching who in the next 24 hours You're going to receive an answer to that Which you've been praying for There's someone watching, that's for you Will you let me pray for you? You're listening and you want to be like that woman And press through that crowd You have to press through the doubt You have to press through the opposition And you touch the hem of the garment It takes one touch to transform your life It takes one touch from God And everything is different Within 24 hours this whole thing Can be turned around Within 24 hours you'll be like this woman And go from desperate to fulfilled God that it would be done for the viewers today Come on, join your faith with mine Let's believe Father in Jesus' name I pray for that one watching right now Lord Who's been discouraged And who is believing to have the faith That receives the impossible The faith that receives the impossible Is the persistent faith So let's go before the... Come on, get ahold of God today Right now, Father let your very presence Flood the atmosphere of that room Where they're watching And Lord as I sit here With the power of the Holy Spirit That I'm filling on me now Transfer through that camera Right through that screen where they're watching And right into the very room that they're sitting in Or standing in or lying in Touch them now Lord I speak to that sickness now Remove that sickness from their body In Jesus' name Lord that spirit of death There's someone watching The spirit of death has been on you It's been hovering over you And it's attacked you not only in your health But there's been a shortness of breath on you I rebuke that now in Jesus' name That must go right now in the name of Jesus We expose and expel it right now In Jesus' name Lord for those believing for unsaved loved ones For those who are believing For those who don't know Jesus That they would come to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Father reveal yourself to them Lord for those praying for the drug addicted For the alcohol addicted I rebuke the curse of the enemy off their life Right now in Jesus' name Lord I rebuke heart disease I rebuke right now There's a blood disorder Someone watching with a very rare blood disorder That when your blood flows through your stream It feels like pins poking you I rebuke that now in Jesus' name I give you the glory There's a tendon problem with your knee It hurts to both bend your knee And stretch out your leg It hurts to do both If you're in one position for too long I rebuke that problem now in Jesus' name Lord complete wholeness on that issue Lord I give you the glory Jesus we love you too And Father I pray for breakthrough right now Lord we come against Every demonic assault of hell For we wrestle not against flesh and blood But against powers, against principality Against the rulers of wickedness In this present darkness Against spiritual wickedness in high places And I rebuke it now Every plan of the enemy be cancelled In Jesus' name Lord remove all the bondage of the enemy From their home There's someone watching me You've been sensing a demonic presence You have a teenager Go into your teenager's room And you will find music that you didn't know Was in your home And that's why they've been depressed For the past four months Because of the things they've been listening to And allowing to come into their life Go into their room Annoint their room, pray for them There's been a depression that's come on Show them this video so they know That you're not just playing games
