Your faith determines what you receive

1. YOUR FAITH DETERMINES
WHAT
YOU RECEIVE
Mark 5:21-43

2. THE POINT
THERE IS A QUESTION THAT MUST HAVE COME TO EACH ONE OF US. IF GOD
IS SO POWERFUL WHY DOES HE SIMPLY NOT SAVE EVERY ONE? IF HE IS SO
LOVING AND REALLY WANTS EVERY ONE TO BE SAVED, WHY DON’T HE JUST
USE HIS MIGHTY POWER TO COMPEL EVERYONE TO BOW BEFORE HIM AND
ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AS GOD. GOD IS OMNIPRESENT AND OMNIPOTENT
AND OMNISCIENT BUT YET HE STILL WANT US TO TELL HIM ABOUT OUR
PROBLEMS THAT HE IS SUPPOSED TO KNOW. THOUGH HIS IS EVERYWHERE
NOT EVERY ONE FEELS HIS PRESENCE AND NOT EVERYONE EXPERIENCE THE
TOUCH OF HIS POWER. THE UNIVERSE FUNCTIONS WITH PRINCIPLES AND
UNTIL THOSE PRINCIPLES ARE MET, WE WILL NOT SEE THE MANIFESTATIONS
OF GOD. THOUGH HE IS OMNIPRESENT, HE SAYS THAT WE NEED TO BE TWO
OR THREE FOR HIM TO BE THERE , HE SAYS WE NEED TO CALL UPON HIM, HE
SAYS WE NEED TO SEEK HIM THOUGH HE IS NEAR US. THOUGH HE IS
OMNISCIENT, HE WANTS US TO SPEAK TO HIM IN PRAYER FOR HIM TO MEET
ALL OUR NEEDS. THOUGH HE HAS ALL THE POWER TO HEAL AND SAVE US,
HE WANTS US TO BELIEVE IN HIM FOR HIS POWER TO EFFECT IN US. TODAY
WE WANT TO SEE HOW OUR FAITH WILL DETERMINE WHAT WE WILL
RECEIVE.

3. THE POINT
21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake,
a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.
22 Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came there. Seeing
Jesus, he fell at his feet
23 and pleaded earnestly with him, "My little daughter is dying. Please
come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live."
24 So Jesus went with him.
25 A large crowd followed and pressed around him. And a woman was there
who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years.
26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had
spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse.
27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and
touched his cloak,
28 because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed."
29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was
freed from her suffering.

4. THE POINT
30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him.
He turned around in
the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 "You see the people crowding against you," his disciples
answered, "and yet you can ask, 'Who touched me?' "
32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.
33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came
and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole
truth.
34 He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in
peace and be freed from your suffering."

5. THE POINT
35 While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the
house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead,"
they said. "Why bother the teacher any more?"
36 Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler,
"Don't be afraid; just believe."
37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and
John the brother of James.
38 When they came to the home of the synagogue ruler, Jesus
saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.

6. THE POINT
39 He went in and said to them, "Why all this commotion and
wailing? The child is not dead but asleep."
40 But they laughed at him.
41 After he put them all out, he took the child's father and
mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where
the child was. He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha
koum!" (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!" ).
42 Immediately the girl stood up and walked around (she was
twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
43 He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and
told them to give her something to eat.

7. TWO PEOPLE AND TWO PROBLEMS
 JAIRUS HAD HIS DAUGHTER WHO
WAS SICK AND CLOSED TO DEATH
 A WOMAN HAD AN ISSUE OF
BLOOD FOR TWELVE YEARS

8. ONE KNOWLEDGE
BOTH OF THEM KNEW JESUS COULD
MEET THEIR NEED
JESUS CAN HEAL
JESUS HAS THE SOLUTION

9. TWO WAYS OF RECEIVING HEALING
JAIRUS
HE EXPECTED THAT JESUS SHOULD COME AND TOUCH
HIS DAUGHTER AND SHE WILL BE HEALED
22 Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus,
came there. Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet
23 and pleaded earnestly with him, "My little
daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on
her so that she will be healed and live."

10. TWO WAYS OF RECEIVING HEALING
THE WOMAN
SHE EXPECTED HER HEALING THE MOMENT SHE
WOULD TOUCH JESUS
26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many
doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better
she grew worse.
27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the
crowd and touched his cloak,
28 because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be
healed."

11. BOTH RECEIVED AS THEY EXPECTED
THE WOMAN RECEIVED HER
HEALING WHEN SHE TOUCHED THE
CLOAK OF JESUS AS SHE THOUGHT
JAIRUS RECEIVED THE
RESURRECTION OF HIS DAUGHTER AS
HE EXPECTED

12. PEOPLE OF FAITH
THESE TWO PEOPLE HAD FAITH.
THEY BELIEVED JESUS HAD THE
POWER TO HEAL. THEIR FAITH
DETERMINED THE WAY THEY
RECEIVED THEIR POWER FROM GOD.

13. THE OMNIPOTENCY OF GOD
GOD IS OMNIPRESENT AND HIS
POWER IS ALWAYS WITH HIM BUT
ONLY OUR FAITH WILL PULL THAT
POWER TO MEET OUR NEEDS

14. NO FAITH NO RECEPTION
JESUS WAS FULL OF POWER BUT THE
PEOPLE OF NAZARETH HAD NO FAITH IN
HIM AND THEREFORE HE COULD NO
EFFECT HIS MIRACLES IN THEIR MIDST
Mark 6:5-6
“He could not do any miracles there, except lay his
hands on a few sick people and heal them. And he
was amazed at their lack of faith.”

15. NO FAITH NO RECEPTION
THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT HE COULD
PERFORM MIRACLES IN THEIR LIVES AND
THEREFORE THEY DID NOT HAVE FAITH TO
PLUG INTO THE POWER THAT WAS AVAILABLE
Mark 6:5-6
“He could not do any miracles there, except lay his
hands on a few sick people and heal them. And he
was amazed at their lack of faith.”

16. THE LACK OF FAITH
THEIR LACK OF FAITH MADE GOD UNABLE TO
PERFORM AS MANY MIRACLES THAT HE WANTED TO
PERFORM IN THEIR MIDST.
JESUS WAS SHOCKED AND IN PAIN. HE COULD NOT
MANIFEST HIS POWER AND REVEAL HIS GLORY.
Hebrews 11:6
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because
anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that
he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”

17. THE OBLIGATION OF FAITH
Matthew 9:27-31
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him,
calling out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"
28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and
he asked them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?"
"Yes, Lord," they replied.
29 Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your
faith will it be done to you";
30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly,
"See that no one knows about this."
31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over
that region.

18. THE NEED OF FAITH
Matthew 9:27-31
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him,
calling out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"
28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and
he asked them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?"
"Yes, Lord," they replied.
29 Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your
faith will it be done to you";
30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly,
"See that no one knows about this."
31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over
that region.

19. THE NEED OF FAITH
PEOPLE CAN FOLLOW JESUS WITHOUT FAITH.
JESUS DID NOT TAKE FOR GRANTED THAT THEY HAVE
FOLLOWED HIM FOR SOME DISTANCE> THEY NEEDED
TO ADMIT WHAT THEY BELIEVED ABOUT JESUS
Matthew 9:27-31
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him,
calling out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"
28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and
he asked them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?"
"Yes, Lord," they replied.

20. ACTIVITY VOID OF FAITH
PEOPLE CAN FOLLOW JESUS WITHOUT FAITH.
JESUS DID NOT TAKE FOR GRANTED THAT THEY HAVE
FOLLOWED HIM FOR SOME DISTANCE. THEY NEEDED
TO ADMIT WHAT THEY BELIEVED ABOUT JESUS
Matthew 9:27-31
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him,
calling out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"
28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and
he asked them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?"
"Yes, Lord," they replied.

21. THE IMPERATIVE NEED OF FAITH
WITHOUT FAITH EVEN THE MESSAGE OF GOD IS OF
NO VALUE
Hebrews 4:2
“For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they
did; but the message they heard was of no value to them,
because those who heard did not combine it with faith.”

22. THE IMPERATIVE NEED OF FAITH
WITHOUT FAITH EVEN THE MESSAGE OF GOD IS OF
NO VALUE
Hebrews 4:2
“For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they
did; but the message they heard was of no value to them,
because those who heard did not combine it with faith.”

23. THE IMPERATIVE NEED OF FAITH
THE WORD MUST BE RECEIVED WITH FAITH
I THESSALONIANS 2:13
“And we also thank God continually because, when you
received the word of God, which you heard from us, you
accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the
word of God, which is at work in you who believe.”

24. FAITH DETERMINED WHAT THEY
RECEIVED
THEY RECEIVED AS THEY BELIEVED JESUS
COULD DO TO THEM
Matthew 9:27-31
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out,
"Have mercy on us, Son of David!"
28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked
them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" "Yes, Lord," they replied.
29 Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith will it be
done to you";
30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, "See that no
one knows about this."

25. FAITH DETERMINED WHAT THEY
RECEIVED
ABRAHAM RECEIVED AS HE BELIEVED
DAVID KILLED GOLIATH AS HE BELIEVED
AS YOU BELIEVE YOU WILL RECEIVE.

26. GOD BLESS YOU ALL
