hi from trinity church in the greater dallas area would you help me welcome today pastor robert madue [Applause] thank you hello life church you may be seated how are you like church hey it is good to be back i have a rule as i've traveled over the years that when you come to a church the first time you're still kind of in the guest category but if you get the honor of coming back in your straight-up family so i hope you know i'm in the family now i'm in the family and i want to welcome you wherever you are watching all the locations whether you're at home i am fully convinced that if there is life on mars there will be a life church there one day and uh that just speaks to how awesome this church is and it is a privilege to be here i cannot say enough about pastor craig and amy grochelle i want to thank you for your life for your leadership uh he could have anybody standing behind this fulfilled and it is an honor to be here thank you uh for saying yes to the call of god it's impacting the world and i think we ought to give honor to her honors do in the chats every location let them know how much you love them love you so much okay i'm gonna jump straight into the word of god i hope you lean in you're engaged if you're at home you can type a man shout a man if you're one of the locations i believe this is going to speak to you today i want to look at mark chapter 5. it's quite a bit of scripture uh but come on you'll get your bible reading in for the week mark chapter five and we'll look at verse number 21 and land all the way at verse number 43 and when you're ready to read it say yeah you need a little time to find mark say hold on i'll wait for you i'll wait for you to find it and it says 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 then one of the synagogue leaders named jairus came and when he saw jesus he fell at his feet he 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 so jesus went with him a large crowd followed and pressed around him and a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years 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 when she heard about jesus how many think it's good to hear about jesus thank god this is going around the world so people can hear about jesus she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak because she thought if i just touch his clothes i will be healed immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering and once jesus realized that power had gone out from him and he turned around in the crowd and asked who touched my clothes you see the people crowding against you his disciples answered and yet you gonna sit up here and ask who touched me but jesus kept looking around to see who had done it then the woman knowing what had happened to her came and fell of his feet and trembling with fear told him the whole truth and he said to her daughter your faith has healed you go in peace and be free from your suffering while jesus was still speaking some people came from the house of jairus the synagogue leader your daughter is dead they said why bother the teacher anymore overhearing what they said one version says ignoring what they said jesus told him don't be afraid just believe don't be afraid just believe he did not let anyone follow him except peter james and john the brother of james and when they came to the home of the synagogue leader jesus saw a commotion with people crying and wailing loudly he went in and said to them why all this commotion and welling that girl not dead she's just asleep they did what you did they laughed at him and 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 took her by the hand and said to her talithakum which means little girl i say to you get up immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around she was 12 years old at this they were completely astonished he gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this and then told him don't just stand there and look at the girl go to chick-fil-a and get something to eat real quick okay a lot of scripture a lot of scripture but i need you to get all of it and i have to tell you in full sermon uh prep disclosure when i was making this message i almost titled this sermon get up because that's a good sermon title get up because i thought that really the climax of this miracle was jesus telling this little girl who was dead to get up upon further reflection i realized that was a premature title premature title simply because of verses 40 and 41. and i want us to hone in on those verses because it says but they laughed at him they left who is the they the negative doubting unbelieving faithless cantankerous people that were it you know those people that know how to light up a room when they walk out don't point anybody uh those people that like for every solution they will find a problem that's the they it says they laughed at him and it says after he that's jesus put them all out jesus put them out in fact the greek suggests that he physically put them out let's see i want to mess up your theology or your christology today because some of you think that jesus is just kind and sweet and loving and caring and he's a good good father and he is but this scripture lets me know do not get it confused he is so so gangster because all of those negative doubting unbelieving people who are messing up the atmosphere he said oh no all y'all got to get out oh yeah you ain't got to go home you got to get out of here once they got out then he went to a little girl and said get up life church what if the power of a miracle is not just in the miracle itself but rather in the atmosphere and the environment that surrounds a miracle could it be possible that you've been looking at situations in your life telling them to get up but this is actually the season of your life to start checking your environment and tell some things to get oh come on somebody just say get out that's what i want to preach about today wherever y'all would you give god some praise and just say get out say get out [Music] get out let's pray a long prayer jesus speak to us today amen life church family the divine intersection and really collision of characters in the scripture we read today immediately gave me a nostalgic parental fatherhood flashback to november 2014. i remember it quite vividly because i was getting ready to leave our home in dallas texas to go preach at a conference which isn't anything unusual i often go leave and preach at a conference except this time everything was different everything was different because not just leaving the house as a husband this time i was leaving the house as a father my first born daughter everly we call her evie she had just been born and i was in that emotional position of leaving my firstborn daughter for the very first time come on every parent will attest to the fact things are just different with your first child among those things that happen with your first child that none of your other children will experience okay like now my wife taylor and i we have three kids plus a demonic dog so when i leave the house now i leave like i got warrants for my arrest and i take the long scenic route home okay in fact often often taylor will call me sometimes with just chaos in the background she'll be like babe where are you like i'm in traffic she's like no you're in the driveway i see you come in the house and help me with these kids but when it's your first is different so i was emotional to say the least tears are going this way snots going the other way big dramatic exit and i get to the conference i'm still emotional when i walk in the conference and a guy by the name of eddie james is leading worship when i go to the conference finish preaching and sherman was short that night and go in the green room afterwards and eddie james the worship leader says robert congrats on your daughter she's beautiful i said thank you i made her i then said uh hey eddie you know my daughter evie might not have ever been born if it wasn't for you eddie looked at me like i had lost my mind i said you probably don't remember this but in december 2006. you were scheduled to lead worship and preach at christ for the nations institute in dallas texas but in route to dallas your van broke down on the side of the road and he goes i remember that night i said eddie you picked up your phone and you called a man by the name of adam mccain and you let him know that by the time your van would be fixed there is no way you would make the service so you had to cancel adam mccain got off the phone with you and looked at a room full of people and said eddie just james just canceled for our tuesday night student chapel who in the world are we going to get last minute to fill his spot in that room was a man by the name of brian ming he lifts up his hand and says hey i just heard this young guy named robert madupreach he's local here in dallas maybe he can do it all of a sudden my phone rings and the voice on the other line says is this pastor robert madue i immediately dropped my voice real low and said well yes it is he said i know this is crazy this is last minute but we just had a cancellation for our tuesday night student chapel is there any way you would be available to come and preach to our bible college students now keep in mind during this time of my life i myself am a bible college student at southwestern assemblies of god university so i said to him you know what it seems like yesterday i was a bible college student myself what an honor it would be to come and part to your young people drove from southwestern to christ for the nations institute i'm about to get up and preach but before i do they say hold on it's tuesday so we've got a testimony video and they show a testimony of a girl in their student body and she tells her story of jesus changing her life i don't meet the girl i preached that night i'm at my school the next day walking down the hallway a girl taps me on my shoulder and goes hey was that you that i saw last night at christ for the nations getting ready to preach i said yeah she goes did you see that girl on the screen while you before you preached i said yes i did she said i've known that girl for years i've known you for years and i always thought that you two would be perfect for each other but i never said anything but the fact that you were there preaching and they showed her video you two have got to meet the next week that girl and i went on our very first date at the illustrious international house of pancakes i said eddie to make a long story short that girl's name was taylor mitchell it's now taylor madue we did what married people do evie is the evidence of that eddie i am so glad your van broke down on the side of the world that day and i share that story first of all to give some hope to the single people come on but also to say who would ever thought that eddie and my evie were connected because their connection is not one that is easily seen on the surface but once you begin to peel back the layers it becomes clear that every single one of us we do not get the luxury of autonomy but how you know all of us are connected we are deeply connected miracles merge with miracles testimonies have a way of touching each other we are all connected you might not like the person you sit next to or is in the house with you right now but please believe you are connected in fact this pandemic has shown us that we are more connected than we realize we are all connected it's powerful to understand that our lives are not straight lines our lives are links because all of us are deeply and intrinsically connected in my text today mark begins by talking about the synagogue leader by the name of jairus but then he starts talking about this woman with an issue of blood and the reason mark has merged these two stories together is because the two of them are connected in fact to talk about gyrus the synagogue leader and never discuss the one with the issue of blood is really to do an injustice to this passage because the two of them are connected oh deeply connected now not on the surface not on the surface if you look at the surface of their lives they couldn't be more opposite come on if you look at the surface one of these things is not like the other first of all jairus is a man she is a woman different jairus is named in the text the bible doesn't even give us this woman's name jairus is a ruler in the jewish synagogue this woman can't even come near this synagogue because her sickness has made her ceremonially unclean the culture would suggest that jairus is affluent he's probably got some money in the bank but this woman is broke busted and disgusted and has spent all she had on worthless positions let me bring the text to today jairus is a democrat this woman is a republican jairus is an ou fan this woman is a texas fan just they're just completely opposite they have absolutely nothing in common on the surface but life has put them in the exact same place and position because they both have been hit with something that they knew they could not handle come on how do you know life has a way to do that life has a way of evening the playing field life has a way of hitting you upside the head with some stuff come on that your money can't fix your friends can't fix come on we're facing it right now life has a way of taking your breath away life has a way of making an atheist say whoa god i need you right now life can hit you with things you cannot handle and might not suggest if you're watching this and you've been hit with something you can't handle that means that thing is a job for jesus that's time for you to just throw up your hands and say god i don't know what to do about this surely you can do something look at jairus and this woman nothing in common on the surface both ended up in the same position having to push people out the way to get an appointment with jesus would you do a favor would you under my uh social distance now i'm gonna tell you to put somebody but don't do that but in the chats just type push push push and somebody just say push both of them had to push people out the way to get an appointment with jesus i love that i love that neither one of them had a pretty pathway with rose petals to jesus but they both had had to be inconvenienced and push people out excuse me push people out the way to get something they never got before you know why they're pushing i'll tell you why they're pushing they're both had to push to jesus because desperate people do desperate things how many know when you are desperate for god you approach god differently when you are really desperate for god oh you don't care what other people think about you when you are lifting up your hands and worship oh when you are desperate for god you will pray three times a day in fact let me be clear god did not send this pandemic but he is using this pandemic to wake some people up out of their lethargic attitude and complacent christianity saying you need to get desperate from me desperate to see change in your family desperate to see change in a generation all desperation will open up doors that complacency keeps shut there's something about being desperate and i love that it was desperation that brought jairus and this woman both at the feed of jesus are you bored yet because i really want to delve into the details of their desperation jairus he gets to jesus first and boy is he desperate he's desperate because his little girl his baby girl she is dying hear that she is dying when he gets to jesus he is not casually approaching jesus he is talking to jesus with the vocal intonation of a 911 caller saying jesus hurry up and come to my house right now this woman is just as desperate but her situation's been going on for a while now this hemorrhaging that's occurring in her body and watch how much mark the gospel writer wants us to know that the two of them are connected because it just so happens that jarvis's little girl who is dying is 12 years old and this woman that's been dealing with the issue of blood has been dealing with it now for 12 years how many know they are connected so you got a 12 year old dying daughter and a 12 year old disease so come on life church that just means chronologically speaking the same year that this little girl was born was the exact same year that this woman was probably diagnosed with her disease come on that means cinematically speaking in mark chapter 5 was a movie and the producers of this is us were making a movie oh come on this is the scene where it would flash from the feet of jesus and say 12 years earlier and go to a hospital and walking out of that hospital would be jairus his wife and them holding a brand new baby girl with that silly new parent grin on their face and then perhaps walking out of that same hospital as a woman tears coming down her face because she's just been diagnosed with a disease that the doctors don't know what to do about it and just maybe they were in the same hospital that day but they couldn't even see each other they didn't even see each other in that just like life and they're just like us today i found that sometimes you can be so preoccupied with your promise or so preoccupied with your pain that you don't see other people around you that you just walk past people that god actually wants to use you to be a blessing to i don't care how good your promise or how much the pain don't let it make you become oblivious to other people around you that god actually might use you to speak life into them see we forgot in romans chapter 12 that says you have to rejoice with those that rejoice and weep with those that weep so thank god for jesus that made both of them join together 12 12. now the 212s are touching would you just say 12. oh come on cross every location say 12. come on say like you had your coffee today say 12. yeah how many no you don't need a bible college degree you don't need to be a student in biblical numerology to know there are some numbers in the bible god has given you biblical blues clues that these numbers are a big deal okay 12 is one of those numbers 12 is a big number to god come on you remember when god began his covenant with his people a company that began by calling out abraham and his son isaac and jacob and he had how many sons did jacob have under 12 sons to remind them of the covenant the promise with their god those 12 sons became the 12 tribes of israel 12 is a big number you remember in the old testament the high priest would go into the holy of holies with a breastplate on that had 12 precious stones on it representing those 12 tribes of israel okay too much old testament some of y'all aboard fast forward to the new testament come on you know our new testament high priest is jesus and the first time we see jesus teaching in the temple is at the age of 12 and they marveled at how did this junior high kid get so much power and wisdom 12 is a big number to god do you know what 12 signifies in the bible it is the number of god's power and it is a number of god's authority do you know what jesus is saying with the power of the twelves he's saying i don't care what sickness disease calamity or problem that is in your life there is absolutely nothing you're facing that is not under the jurisdiction of my authority and my power he's saying through the twelve i have the power to handle whatever coming against you oh come on that's good news right there 12. yeah that's why he called 12 disciples if it was me i would have stopped at 11 and said by hater i wouldn't call judas but not jesus he called all 12 and gave all of them what power and authority 12 is the number of his power it's a number of his authority why is that important it's important because it is your awareness of god's authority in your life that will determine how much you receive from him big statement i'ma say it again it's your awareness of god's authority that will often determine how much you receive from him see often we look at a passage like this and we reduce it just to faith because he said daughter your face has healed you and how many know faith is important oh come on you need faith faith faith is the substance of things hoped for it is the evidence of things not seen without faith it is impossible to please god faith is our anchor when nobody takes an anchor and just throws it in the water you're going to lose that anchor you better connect and tie that anchor to something and watch this my faith is connected to his authority the authority of his word the authority of his power to know that jesus has the final say if you don't connect your faith to his authority oh you're gonna have a problem see some of you think you have a faith problem like i robert haven't got my breakthrough no because i don't have enough faith no it's fine it's fine i haven't got a miracle my faith is not good enough i didn't pray enough i know it's just my faith your faith is good you know you just need mustard seed faith it's never the size of your faith it is the object of your faith and once you connect your faith to his authority your faith will go to a whole other level but if you don't believe he's the ultimate authority then your faith will struggle yeah give us some scripture for it robert i'll give you some scripture remember the disciples they're on the boat and they're asleep and this their weight rather and the winds and the waves start going crazy and they're having a panic attack like ah just like everybody right now what are you gonna do and jesus is relaxing in the bottom of the boat just mark says on a pillow sound asleep and the subs are like jesus don't you care we're not to die and jesus gets up cool calm and collected and just goes up to the edge of the boat and says peace be still and in the moment the winds and the waves and everything is calm and the disciples drop drop their jaw and go who is this man who is this man that even the wind and the waves obey him and what did jesus say back to them oh you of a little faith you know why you didn't you know why you're shocked because you didn't know how much authority i had you didn't know who i really was your shell looked at me when i was asleep on the boat and walked up to me and said who is this man that is sleeping and snoring in the middle of a hurricane look if this storm ain't bothering him it ain't gonna bother me scoot over jesus let me just cuddle with you because if you're not stressed about this situation why would i be stressed about the situation come on somebody god is not in heaven having a panic attack right now he doesn't have anxiety so you can sleep that night when you trust his authority you don't have a faith problem you have an awareness of his authority problem and it's my earnest prayer that in the midst of this chaos and craziness in the world that god actually strengthen your faith because you will get a fresh awareness of his authority that he has the final say no matter what's going on connect your faith to his authority can i take you deeper jairus got a house call from jesus because that was his awareness of his authority don't forget jairus worked in the synagogue he's basically a pastor and he approached jesus just like a pastor would he said jesus oh sir jesus please um you could come to the house my daughter she's about to die i want you to come over and let your head we already got the worst music playing uh we just need you to come over and lay your hands on her he's pentecostal too lay your hands on her and she'll be healed jesus is like cool you want me to come to your house cool i'll come to your house and he starts going this woman who she had a whole nother awareness of his authority he said jesus uh you ain't gotta come to my house i ain't got time for that all i gotta do is touch the hem of your garment and if i touch the hem of your garment i know i'm gonna be made whole and that's what she got you know why because that was her awareness of his authority you don't have a faith problem you have an awareness of his authority problem see this might be one of the most important messages you ever hear as it relates to the building of your faith because if you don't believe that somebody is the ultimate authority you will doubt the validity of their words and you serve a god that says i am the word if you don't believe somebody's the ultimate authority you're gonna doubt the validity of their words come on you've been there before you ever been at a place of business when you know they were open and everything and and uh you knew you weren't talking to the person that had like the authority that you knew you were talking to the person that wasn't really in charge and on top of that they had the nerve to tell you something that was contradictory to good customer service i mean come on if you're like me you know not rude but you say can i please speak to the manager can i speak to a supervisor oh y'all don't do that y'all are super safe okay i i want to speak i'm not rude i just want to speak to the person that has the real authority this happened to me not too long ago i'll never forget this experience i went to a hotel that i had a reservation had been booked for several months and the lady behind the best bless her heart she's like um hello i may do let me see i may do she said no i don't see your reservation i said um but it's been booked uh for a couple of months she said it may do let me see no she said no i don't i don't see i don't see your reservation we're fully booked we are fully committed there's not a single room left i said okay can i speak to a manager maybe or a supervisor or somebody else it's like i can get him but i know what he's going to do because i don't see your reservation we are fully booked we are so committed the manager comes behind the door goes hello mr madue good to see you again girl move i am so sorry she's new here's your reservation i found i'm so sorry about that that's no problem she said no no no no no in fact for all your trouble would it be okay if we upgraded you to the executive suite how is it i went from about to be on the street to an executive suite you know why because the right person that had the authority knew which button to push and knew what to do oh i hope you get so annoyed by being up at night and being stressed by what's going on and all the crazy news reports that you finally just lift up your hands and say i need to speak to the supervisor i need to speak to the god of heaven and earth i need to speak to the alpha and the omega i need to speak to the beginning and the end i want to speak to the one that heaven is his throne and the earth is his footstool i want to speak to the one that spoke the world into existence i want to speak to the god that has authority oh i feel like preaching somebody give god some praise wherever you are he's got authority [Applause] oh you don't have a faith problem you got an awareness of his authority problem no who has the authority this woman goes for 12 years i've been speaking to mid-level employees she said i demand an appointment with the supervisor she touched the hem of his garment immediately she was healed i'm gonna have somebody just play softly behind me i'm landing this plane and i could stop the miracle right there i really could she was healed immediately but i can't stop the miracle there because don't forget this woman in jairus are connected touch the hem of his garment and don't forget that before this this woman was an interruption jesus's journey to jairus's house she was an interruption just like what's going on in our world right now this is the biggest interruption but sometimes interruptions are invitations for a miracle but jesus was approached by jerusalem he said geez you got to come to the house please my daughter is dying how many know time is of the essence jesus does not have time to waste like hurry up and i can see jesus going through the crowd and jairus is probably leaving him come on i'll show you where my house says come on follow me jesus hurry up hurry up no i got to him first hold on he's got to get through the crowd of people he's forcing his way through and he checks back to make sure jesus is still there okay you're there okay come on he's going through the crowd going through the crowd and all of a sudden he looks back and he's lost jesus in the crowd where did he go i told him this is an emergency what is he doing all of a sudden he finds jesus surrounded by people talking about who touched me and john's like are you serious right now i just told you this isn't a mercy what do you mean who touch you everybody's touching you jesus you want to stop and play 21 questions when my daughter is dying oh in there frustrated when god makes you wait not only does he stop he waits for this woman to come out of the crowd how long did that take for her to sheepishly come through and admit it was me then he just starts sitting there talking to her while jairus has to wait and i can see the steam coming off of jarvis's forehead like are you serious right now the bible says that jesus just let her tell him the whole truth another version says she told him who her whole story have you ever had a lady tell you her whole story ladies i love you i'm saying but if you're in a hurry have a dude to tell you his story cause he'll be like i'm good but when a lady tells you her hustle get you a comfortable seat how long was this conversation i could see the steam coming off of jeremy's forehead like oh my goodness girl get your healing and go we got to get to my house it's frustrating when god makes you watch a miracle while you're waiting on your miracle [Music] isn't that frustrating you have to watch other people get a promotion and you lost your job watch other people post pictures of their baby on instagram and facebook and you can't have a child yourself what do you do when jesus makes you watch a miracle while you're waiting on a miracle watch other people walk down the aisle you've been to a hundred weddings some of them you look at it like god for real she got a husband for real what do you do when he makes you watch a miracle while you're waiting on your miracles he was he will often make you watch a miracle while you're waiting on your miracle and it is not to discourage you it is to encourage you to let you know that if god did it for them he can do it for you too it might not be the same way but if you'll just trust him and know that he has all power and authority that's why he was able to heal this woman and even go to the house when jairus thought our hope was lost he said don't be afraid just believe he walks all the way to the house they already started the funeral jesus goes why y'all crying that girl's not dead she's just asleep and they laughed at him he said oh you think that's funny oh you think that's funny every one of y'all that laughed i got a word get oh come on help me close this message life church get come on somebody across every location just say get come on this is your season to start doing some cleaning and start checking your environment and telling something's enough is enough you've got to get out somebody needs to tell fear to get out tell depression to get out to anxiety to get out somebody give god some praise if you know he's got authority and some things need to get get out that's every heavy bowed all eyes closed god is a god of environment some things will not get up until first some things get out perhaps the world has stopped everybody's on pause maybe we have an opportunity to check our environments some things that you've been putting up with for a long time that need to get out maybe a relationship some of you need to speak to your own thoughts and tell them to get out just because you thought it doesn't mean it's your thought tell that thought of suicide to get out replace it with the word of god [Music] till that thought of giving up to get out till that thought that god has abandoned you to get out he's with you even in the pain get out so the dead things can get up father i pray whoever's watching this message right now you give him the strength to speak to things that need to get out lord you allow
