It's a rhetorical question Where you've seen more people with withered lives It's never happened at this level before there's over eight billion people on the earth There was only a fraction of that on the earth when jesus was alive 2000 years ago And here in america, which is where I live. That's what I focus on the most People are being withered out by everything here alcohol drugs sex wokeness Social media everything it's just all been released into satan's hands By the churches the churches are colossal failures To god they have not fulfilled the great commission in matthew 28 In mark 16 in luke 24 Those three chapters added up Make the great commission and the churches said There is no way in h e l l we are going to do any of that We're not going to do that at all. We're going to take pieces of it and do it You know, we're going to preach salvation Maybe we'll do a little healing with this denomination And we're not going to do any deliverance now deliverance is kind of a big thing now since that movie came out come out in jesus name biggest thing that ever hit the country in deliverance But that's a flash in the pan thing that's going to go up and then it's going to tank But the great commission was abandoned by the churches and as a result satan took over the place But he doesn't have every place and the deliverance center is one of the places He does not completely have Check it out mark Chapter three my goodness Again, jesus entered the synagogue now you remember in chapter two jesus Got in trouble his disciples were eating grain out of a field On the Sabbath day the greek word is greek word is sabaton The greeks had one main sabbath, of course that that's mentioned in genesis and then that they had a number of other midweek sabbaths That had developed over the years One of them was on wednesday A midweek sabbath on wednesday. That's the Sabbath that jesus was crucified on he was crucified on a midweek Sabbath Then rose from the dead early very very early on sunday morning You as you will recall that story the greatest story ever told but here jesus is uh entering the The synagogue on the Sabbath day And he runs into somebody while he's teaching he looks up and there's some guys standing there with a withered arm withered hand excuse me Kero greek word hand axareno withered shrinking Shrinking this hand shrunk. This one was normal. This was shrunk right And they and they watched him who watched him religious people will always watch you if you decide To make sacrifices for god and you start serving him Religious people stare at you They watch you why For encouragement and blessing far from it To nitpick and criticize you religious people are chronic nitpickers and criticize it satan controls controls 99 of the churches and he puts Infiltrators in the system and those are people who Can't minister in the spirit to save their lives Don't have agape unconventional unconditional love of god, but they are Very strict on the law and how to do things and procedures and forms and rituals And they will nitpick you literally through the gates of hell If you step out of line and jesus stepped out of line now remember In the previous chapter chapter 2 he had told Told the the the story of the wineskins remember That story that was a story designed to Slowly but surely and gradually Get the jews to understand that the law Of god was being replaced The old testament law was being replaced By the new covenant the new wine had to be put in new wineskins The old wine won't work in the new wineskins Jesus once said The law and the prophets were until John the baptist since then The kingdom of god is preached and all men Crash or press their way into it They break into it. They crash through it. That's what that greek word means There it is Jesus was weaning them off of the law right like a mother dog weans the puppy off the hind tit You know, it's time to go eat solid food now Get off the tits Go eat regular food In it's in something similar jesus was weaning them off the law By breaking it and he would break their sacred cow The number one thing The jews Would not give up The sabbath and it says verse two they watched him Whether he would heal on the sabbath Therapy well is the greek word for to heal it means to to Therapies or we get our english word therapy from it where you treat someone and make them well Only this case it would be treating them with the holy ghost And supernatural divine healing Therapy well is the greek word where we get our english word therapy and They wanted to watching to see if he would healing On the sabbath day, okay, they weren't Watching this poor guy because his life was withered And the guy was wasted. He was wiped out. Okay, we have them coming to our deliverance center all the time Of course, we rush over to them to pray for them at the altar call because that's what father wants us to do But people have withered lives usually through self-destruction drugs alcohol porn food It's awful as you well know Phoenix has a horrible homeless problem. They call it the zone. It's downtown the city's in the process of cleaning it out Wiping wiping it out and moving these people but it is sickening beyond belief And uh We get people occasionally coming up to the deliverance center from the homeless campmen and He wouldn't believe the the kind of demons these people have and The manifestations they have when they come out. It's really shocking But anyway, i'm digressing They were watching him because they had a religious fever sabbath and jesus was gradually trying to wean them off hey I gave the sabbath. I'm the law giver and now i'm changing the law. I gave I had the old covenant there now. I'm replacing it I'm replacing it with the new covenant. I'm replacing it with the new covenant Thank god for that and that's where you and I are today again by god's grace and He said to the man Which had the withered hand stand forth So he pulls this guy out of the crowd to make him a demonstration a demonstration Then he turns to his religious people that were criticizing him and he asked him a question Is it part of the law? Is it within the law that you follow? To do good things on the sabbath day Or to do evil things keko po eo is the greek word for evil there. It means To practice stuff that's bad To be somebody who does bad things The other one's the opposite somebody who does good things Are you allowed to to do deliverance sozo? on the sabbath day or or are you? supposed to kill on the sabbath day a paktino is the greek word murder Can you can you believe he said that? Yeah, he said is it lawful lawful to be someone who does good things on the sabbath day? Or someone that does bad things on the sabbath day. Is it lawful to deliver? people's lives or is it Lawful to murder them Wow, what a bold statement jesus had gods A lot more than i've got But they held their peace And then it says here something even more fascinating When he looked around On the people that were criticizing and they were staring at him with blood in their eyes And it says he looked at them with anger greek word or gay And that's the regular greek word for anger And that means that being angry is not a sin Paul said be angry and sin not do not let the sun go down on your lap anger Can be positive Anger can be negative Can't anger can be holy Anger can be sinful In this case Anger is holy, but then notice what happens Being grieved to lapel greek word means He became sad Over what? The hardness of their hearts Wow Porosus is the greek word for hardness there And it's where we get our english word, you know petrify If something's petrified And you have a petrified rock or something wood That petrified wood might be hundreds of thousands or mains of years old. In fact, I have some Petrified wood in my backyard. My mother used to collect rocks and Quartz and things like that she had a little rock collection when I was a kid I happen to have some of them and I put them out in the back So when I go out and do my devotionals they kind of remind me of her and I thank god for her life and Their hearts had petrified now remember When something's petrified It takes a long time to do it. Okay, someone who has hardness of heart Petrified heart a heart of stone That didn't come Tuesday No, that wasn't last Tuesday That that's been building for a long period of time It's been going on for a long period of time And that's what made him so sad All these people looked at this poor guy. He couldn't work. He was flat broke You know all the jobs back then were Manual labor jobs 99 percent of them He couldn't work anymore had to live off Handouts from his family and friends He was clinically depressed because he wasn't a productive member of society you could imagine you know, some of the things that hurt disabled people and damaged them I used to be for several years in the past a rehabilitation counselor Secular rehabilitation counselor and work with the Disabled and the handicapped so I understand Kind of the sadness and the disenfranchisement they go through And these people who didn't have a disability had no compassion for him at all no pity nothing And they just had hard hearts. That's all they had and so jesus anger went from or gay to Sula pale He went from anger to sadness in a moment's time notice that So he said to the man Stretch forth your hand He wanted to make a demonstration of him because he was making a broader point about The sabbath and the law of moses The law of moses was being replaced By the new covenant new wine Goes in new wine skins The new birth And the holy spirit living within which you could not have under the old covenant Isn't that great? Yeah But the hardness of people's heart boy that hurts the holy ghost that really does paul Told us what happened When you have a hard heart You quench the spirit you grieve the holy spirit and here jesus is grieved Sula lapel he's grieved Just like the holy ghost is grieved When somebody has a hard heart and they don't have any love or compassion that really Hurts him. You know god can be hurt By your attitudes and your behavior. Did you know that? Yeah, I think you do Yeah, he's got feelings and he can be hurt why You not having compassion or not having love for somebody that kind of stings Stings him and here you see jesus is stung. He's grieved But then he clicks back and he goes back to the guy in need The guy whose life was withered the guy whose life was ruined Last friday night. You can hear on the audio. I was ministering to a A guy who had dropped out of a drug rehabilitation program And I was talking to him and explaining to him how he got infected with spirits and childhood And then he had to get him out and sure enough they They started coming out and it was a pretty dramatic Deliverance that's on the tape if you're interested in watching it but this guy Was an addict He had a withered life A withered life and you know the holy ghost specializes and people have withered lives That's when he does his best work He's fantastic. The spirit of god is as you well know the difference maker He tells this guy to stretch forth his hand. He wants everybody to see what compassion and action looks like And he stretched it out And we found out something interesting It became whole Like the other one It was restored it says bang Literally right in front of him Literally right in front of him right in front of him What happened that while everybody was rejoicing and happy? No No religious people Don't really care about people Religious people don't care about people They care about maintaining order and controlling their systems And so the Pharisees went forth it said verse six and took counsel together How they might Destroy Jesus Greek word apolamy apolamy means To ruin or crush Smash destroy wreck They wanted to wipe himself out Wipe him out And guess what happened? Jesus knowing it wasn't his time yet You know, he had previously told the disciples. Listen, nobody's going to take my life from me. I'm laying my life down I'm not having my life taken from me I'm voluntarily laying it down What a story that is the greatest story of them all So Jesus says with drew himself and ran to the sea. I can't see as they're blaming. I would have got out of there fast too and uh Huge crowds following him. So he was safe When he was with The people that were needy and had withered lives He was in danger when he was around religious people who claimed to know god Who loved to go through rituals procedures and follow religious laws And the Talmud The Pharisees were jesus's greatest enemy before he was murdered The Sadducees became his greatest enemies after He rose from the dead. Why is that? Well, the Pharisees believed in the resurrection and The afterlife the Sadducees did not They were more like Gnostics They did not believe in people going to hell or going to heaven or reincarnation or anything And when jesus was raised from the dead that was the main theme of the preaching obviously the Sadducees went ballistic They went ballistic It's unbelievable But you know what this when you're a religious person You could you are not eligible for the promises of god. Are you? No, they just pass you by guess what If you've got a withered life That's the best thing in the world. Congratulations. You're in line For a miracle from god second Corinthians chapter one verse 20 For all the promises of god in christ Are yes and in him Amen To the glory of god Through us See the glory of god is spectacular in heaven and everybody worships him all the time as they should But that's how what's important to him The most important thing is to have your life glorifying him he wants to pour the glory of god Through you He's already got it in heaven That's not his focus His focus is you What kind of people get the glory of god flowing through them? Let's think about it. Mm-hmm Pharisees religious people know far from it It's not going to happen withered lives bingo You just hit it It couldn't couldn't be any better It couldn't be any better praise the lord God is calling you To move in the spirit. That's what he wants you to do second Peter chapter one verse four write this one down Whereby are given unto us exceedingly? great Megastas disagree we're there for exceedingly great it means mammoth whereby are given unto us mammoth and precious promises That by these you might be partakers of The divine nature. What is what is the divine nature? Theos What is that? The nature of the godhead The nature of the trinity theos the trinity And we might be partakers of the divine nature having escaped Having escaped the corruption That is in the world Through lust the greek word for world there is cosmos. It means human world We we escape the corruption Of humanity That that stuck to us through the lusts of our life Epithemia is a greek word for lust. It means inappropriate or negative or sinful passions They come out of the soul passions lustful passion You can see here clearly that The divine power of god Is not for religious people Or people who are intellectual people who are arrogant people who are proud Those kind of people don't get the moving of the spirit God likes to use humble people that don't amount to much to flow through them To manifest his exceeding great and precious promises. That's what god's looking for That's what he wants to do with you There's no question about it You have a withered life good good for you You're the perfect Person to get called out of a crowd To stand before god almighty Where did you see that happen? We just read it chapter three Jesus stood stand forth And the withered guy stood up his his feet were fine. The legs were fine But he had the hand Probably polio or something There it was he couldn't work. It was an assist, you know He was disabled embarrassing Poverty low self-esteem manhood problems the usual He had it all But what he didn't have until that moment was grace and exceeding great and precious promises And so jesus was saying look we got a new covenant here that allows god's holy spirit to come directly to you on a personal basis And we're transitioning out of the old covenant into the new covenant Which allows that grace to come directly to you from god without an intermediary You don't need a bishop or a priest or pastor or something. It's just you walking in to see the lord, right? I mean big big time And you walk in it And see him on your own There you go It's right there. Look he bruised chapter four Explains you this morning, right? It explains you You're in he bruised chapter four He says paul says seeing them that we have a great high priest that has passed into the heavens Jesus the son of god Let us hold fast our profession What's our profession Well, the greek word is homologia. It means Confession Our acknowledgements our confession of christ Our acknowledging of the world of god We don't have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities But he was in all points tempted like as we are yet. He lived without sin So then let us therefore come boldly Into the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy And find grace to help in time of me I mean it couldn't be said any better or more succinctly couldn't I mean it's clear as a bell You are a special person You know why because you've got a withered life. You had a withered life. You had rotten parents You had uncaring siblings You were bullied in school Right you grew up and you grew up kind of fat kind of stupid kind of ugly kind of dumb Maybe not in that order, but you got around to it And you realize that oh my gosh The old law was replaced by the new one And now I Can stand forth and be called out by god individually succinctly alone stand forth In the synagogue the guy stands for it. He's there. There he is with the hand But the people had stony hearts Oh That hurt That stoneness god got angry at but it suddenly switches over to Sadness and compassion God is hurt when you have a stony heart toward yourself in particular Why because god likes you and he wants to help you he wants to bless you and if you won't receive it that hurts his feelings He gets his feelings hurt. What are you supposed to do stand forth? Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help In time of need that's what you're supposed to be doing Now if you got a stony heart in your religious person and you're going by the letter of the law and so on You know the letter kills but the spirit gives life Jesus told those galatians look man. Don't go back into Judaism Don't don't do it Stand fast in the liberty that christ has Set you free and don't become entangled again with a yoke of bondage He told the man with a withered hand to stand forth. He told the galatians to stand out of it Don't go back to the law The old law which replaced new wine goes in new wine skin That's you That's you friend you Your new wine skin And the holy ghost is pouring new wine into you And so god is calling you to And out of a stony heart a stony heart and You say well, how can all this stuff be true? Because the holy spirit actually manifests himself and miracles actually occur. So when you see the holy spirit moving You know that christianity is real if you go to another religion hinduism buddhism islam None of those gods can do anything Allah can't do anything Lord sheva can't do anything because it because they're not they're not there. They're they're false gods But when you see the holy spirit moving and healing and delivering People like we do every thursday and friday night, for example that proves That god is is Alive it proves that the gospel is real it proves that christ is Real and that he is a healer and a deliverer. So this story about the withered hand Works to this day. It works to this day say As my grandma once said The proof of the pudding is in the tasting Okay, you can talk about how good pudding is till the cows come home But until you taste it you're not going to know And you can talk about religions and all these other gods or thousands of other gods Paul explained to the Corinthians that all these gods were demons That's what he said they were They were all demons Because they're not gods But the holy ghost Brings all the blessings of the living christ to you with when you exercise your faith And you repent of a stony heart And you can get healed you can get delivered I've personally seen with my own eyes hundreds of people heal right in front I've seen thousands of people get delivered from demons right in front of my eyes And so I can't be talked out of The living christ or christianity because I saw it proven see the proof of the pudding Is in the tasting But if you got a stony heart and you're a religious person And that's all you're focusing on you get nothing You get nothing you end up with nothing and you die with nothing It's a trifecta And you're it But now god is calling you to come boldly to the throne of grace that you may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time with me The best ministers of the gospel who move in the spirit and the power of god, you know who they are They're people that had withered lives Mary wordsworth edder Amy simple macpherson Catherine coolman a allen Jack Cole Come on Now once in a while somebody comes along who doesn't have a withered life. Yeah, I mean there are there john lakes out there and god can Use anybody and everybody But trust me the vast majority of the people the majority of them who minister in the spirit and in the power of god those people Came from withered lives A withered life is fertile ground For the word of god to be spread Like the parable of soar producing productive results some 40 some 60 some 100 if you had a withered life You're a very fortunate person If you don't have a stony heart Oh, man, you're you're on the verge of Getting the lottery it's so Your future is so fantastic And that's what god's calling you to do he wants you to stand forth. He's calling you individually one person that day in the synagogue one God healed can you imagine that they had the greatest healer In the history of religion in the history of the world in the history of church in the history of whatever Standing there Teaching in their synagogue None of those people knew how fortunate they were to be in a spot That you and I frankly would give anything we Have to to be there that day just to hear that wouldn't you Wouldn't you like to go back in a time machine and be sitting in a synagogue listening? Did jesus teach are you kidding me? Wow? What a story? And By today's standard, it's a bust jesus was a bust Because he only had one person healed But he was in the midst of a sea of stones Have you ever been in a church where you're just sitting there looking at the people they look like stones clothes on Don't answer that the answer is obviously yes everybody has But if you have a withered life listen, you're a candidate for a massive outpouring of the spirit to move in the supernatural god You can You can do that because the ground has been tilled You've had your ground tilled and You're ready to receive That's how it works stand forth Put your hand out withered and see it hold And that's what god's causing calling you to do He wants you to receive these greater promises Better promises All these magnificent things he's got stored up for you waiting for you Because all the promises of god and christ are yes and amen period. That's the end of story And the glory of them are to be revealed. It says Through us is what it says in the greek through us Through you you're supposed to be You know like conduit with wires coming down through it and boom the electricity of the holy ghost Makes it move And the conduit is you You're the new wine scan And you got to start believing for that. You got to understand that you got to change your identity You're going to start seeing yourself as who you are And if you have a stony heart, hey, you might You might end up with nothing Well, I don't care that much brother mike. I was wounded and hurt and beaten and molested and everything. Yeah, I know you were I know you were but i've seen hundreds of those people That were in that condition healed You got to come to god and you got to start repenting. Well, I don't feel it. Okay. Do it by faith. Just pray it by faith Yeah, just do it by faith. Just repent by faith Okay Okay, you failed you sinned you screwed up. Okay, go nail that to the cross of Calvary Because if you're still alive mercy applies If you're dead too late for mercy, don't even bother pray for somebody's dead. That's it. It's over Boom cut it drop it They're gone but if you're if you're On this podcast and you're listening to me bang you're in line for a miracle from god. You're still alive. So grace covers you Grace covers you Your failures your sin The all powerful blood of jesus covers it if you'll repent God will come right to you one quick story before I close Back in the day before I got delivered from demons. I was doing mentoring and counseling in the assemblies of god religion I came out of the assembly of god denomination. I was in it for years And I started to work with a woman uh That I met at the prayer meeting one night at the semi god church. There's a monday night prayer me and uh, she was me 12 years older than me something like that. I was 40 at the time. I think 41 You know, she was about 10 12 years older than me We worked with her for a long time. I didn't know anything about demons back then. I didn't know she had demons I didn't know I had demons I worked with her numerous times over a three-year period And was met with constant chronic failure I could not get the woman to stop saying negative things. I couldn't get her to Trust god. I couldn't get her to believe the word of god. She kept constantly had this mind default to chronic negativity Well about 19 years ago, she got mad at me in her house when I came over to pray for her And so I just released her to god and let her go. I hadn't seen her in 19 years I get a text on my phone from her 19 years later She still had my phone number I call her back I said, oh, I'm so happy to hear from you How are you doing? And she said to me Mike, I'm not doing well. Now I now I can't see out of my right eye. I'm sicker than I ever was And god just won't come to me And I told her well, I want you to see one of my counselors I've got a A lady who's really good with soul wounds on staff and I'm going to have her come over to your housing And minister to you so I go home that night I went home That night that I got that text. I told my wife Because my wife Karen had been with me a couple times where I went over to her house To minister to her This was like 21 years ago or something and My wife Karen, I weren't married then we were just dating and uh I says to her you're not going to believe this so-and-so called me On the phone I talked to her today. You're not going to believe it After 19 years I heard from her again And the first thing My wife says to me This is a true story my mouth hit the floor The first thing my wife says to me Is quote Did she tell you that god won't come to her? Unquote that's what my wife said And that was exactly what this woman said to me After 19 years Fast forward to the following week One of my counselors goes over to her house. She's really good with with a prayer and solace real good And she spends four hours with her four and a half hours with this lady at the beginning of it The lady says to her god won't come to me and so She gets up and goes to the bathroom. She comes back and The counselor starts praying for and the holy spirit came right to her He touched her spirit man. It was beautiful she started crying and It was amazing He touched her And the counselor says see god loves you. He cares about you He touched you and she says to her in response Yeah, but it never stays and That was it. She quenched the spirit. I told her the words that jesus said When I talked to her on the phone the last time I said listen By your words, you will be justified and by your words You will be condemned They read word for condemned there is Crino, which means you judged and the devil judged her After she said that and Now it's over It's over For all the promises of god are yay and amen in christ Unless you reject them and then They are worthless to you Now that poor lady she's born again, but unfortunately she'll be dying soon And her life and chance for being healed is over Because she chose Not to believe But you are not like Her you are like the man with the withered hand jesus said stand forward in the crowd and he did And he told the guy stretch forth your hand And he couldn't stretch it forth, but he tried to And as he tried to it became whole as the other By your words He will be justified and by your words You will be judged And since you're on this podcast you are of the sort of person Who wants god's perfect will in their life. They want to be a conduit of the holy ghost administering to others In the supernatural that's what you're after And god is calling you individually because you've had a withered life Those are the best kind of lives for him People who are withered and broken tend to be More tender and have softer hearts than people who have stony hearts and who are filled with anger bitterness resentments and vengeance When your heart gets stone cold You find yourself outside Of all the blessings of god and christ they become no And no way You see that By the way, I read that story many years ago Long before I got delivered from demons and long before I went into praying for the sick and I kept rereading it after I got delivered from demons and I realized that Miracles don't just pop into your lap. They're triggered by what action Now that withered hand guy couldn't risk it, but he tried he did what he was told the guy on the cot By the pool of the fezz that had been there for 36 years. Remember that Jesus said pick up your bed And walk The guy let down through the skylight torn up the roof They did an improvisational skylight And dropped this guy down bang And jesus looked at him And said your sins are forgiven This is the new covenant Not the old one. This is the new covenant faith in me I'll forgive you of your sins. I don't need to have a goats and bull sacrificed And he told told the kid After he was emotionally healed first To get up and walk Well, he couldn't but he tried to get up and walk you see that Once the person tries to obey This holy ghost takes it the rest of the way And I learned that from reading those stories And that's how I do my altar Activities and you can watch it every friday night I leave my mic on you can literally visually and hear it Oddly auditorly hear it Right there I tell him Okay, I just prayed for your knees, you know, okay to stand up If they don't stand up I pull them up Okay, start walking And they take a little step then I give them a little shove Not a big one. I don't get a nerf back bat and start doing the back of their head. No We're having nerf bats They start walking And then they're healed It happened to two fridays ago to a native american woman Both of her knees got her cartilage restored I just gave her a little shove But it's not it's not that you can do what you were told to do is that you attempted to do it Demonstrating your faith stepping out of your faith triggering your faith triggering the miracle bang It strikes Well, I can't do this. I can't do that. Of course you can't that's why you were asked to do it Okay, you need to get out of this pity party mentality. Okay, you need to repent of it. You got to get rid of this crap We've got to stand forth Fresh out your hand. I can't stretch it out, but I'll try since you said so boom yield Pick up your cot I can't pick it up because I'm paralyzed but because you said so I'll try boom. He's healed Stand up and pick up your cot Go on into the temple I can't but if you say so, I'll try boom.
