Pastor Byrd He Made A Way

[Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Applause] i call your attention to the book of luke chapter 8 verses 41 is where i'll begin luke chapter 8 verse number 41. luke chapter 8 verse 41 i will read in your hearing from the king james version of the bible the word of god says and behold there came a man named jarius and he was a ruler of the synagogue and he fell down at jesus feet and besought him that he would come into his house for he had only one daughter one daughter about 12 years of age and she lay a dying but as he went the people thronged him and a woman having an issue of blood 12 years would you spend all our living upon physicians neither could be healed of any came behind him touch the border of his garment and immediately bob said immediately that means at once her issue of blood stamps jesus said who touched me when all denied peter and they that were with him said master the multitude throng thee and press thee and sayest thou who touched me jesus said somebody have touched me for i perceive that virtue that power is gone out of me and when the woman saw that she was not here she came trembling and falling down before him she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediately he jesus said unto her daughter be of good comfort thy faith have made thee whole go in peace while yet spake they are coming from one of the ruler the synagogue's house saved him thy daughter is dead troubled not the master but when jesus heard it he answered him saying fear not believe only and she shall be made whole and when he had come into the house he suffered no man to go in say peter and james and john and the father and the mother of the mate in verse 52 and all wept and bewelled her but he said weep not she is not dead but sleepeth and they allowed him to scorn knowing that she was dead and then jesus verse 54 says he put them all out took her by the hand and called saying maid arise and her spirit came again and she arose straightway and he commanded to give her meat and her parents were astonished but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done today just allowed me a little time to challenge you on the subject he made a way he made away god bless us now speak speak in this sanctuary speak over the internet airwaves speak over the television airwaves speak over the radio speak give me strength oh god give me power your power may your spirit make itself known today now forgive me of my sins and even when the appeal time comes lord move because someone still today needs to give their life to you we pray this prayer we ask these things and beg these mercies in jesus name and for his sake amen he made a way he made a way jerius quickly a ruler of the synagogue comes and bows in front of jesus and says my 12 year old daughter my only daughter is at the point of death but if you can come and lay hands on her she will be healed and she will live let me remind somebody on the outset that because jarrius is ruler of the synagogue that means darius is the one in charge of worship darius is the pastor darius is the elder darius leads the choir jarius leads the praise team darius is a religious man but the bible says his daughter is sick lesson number one for us today just because you work for the lord just because you serve his church does not exempt you from trial and tribulation i wish i had a witness in this place the rain falls on the just and the unjust i have learned in my experience that those who serve the lord those who work for the lord will go through trials we'll go through church persecution we'll go through tribulation but they will also come out as pure gold the bible says that jerius's daughter is sick his only daughter unto death and there is a large multitude gathered by the seashore but jarius seeks jesus because jarius knows that what he needs he doesn't need from anyone else that what he needs he can only get from jesus darius does not allow the crowd to stop him from getting his blessing jarius does not allow the crowd to stop him from what he needs he needs jesus so he has to get jesus lesson number two for us today don't you let anyone or anything stop you from getting your blessing don't you let anybody stop you from getting to jesus in the name of jesus if you got to get to jesus do whatever you got to do to get to jesus there comes a time in your life where you got to make up your mind that it doesn't make a difference how many folk are around you how many folk are looking at you what people are saying about you you've got to be refused to be intimidated by the crowd i'm not worried about what people may say or do by any means necessary i don't know about you but i'm trying to get to jesus that's why sometimes as i'm getting a little older now i've learned you got to tell church folks sometime if you knew what i was here for you'd understand why i act like i act you understand why i sing like i sing you'd understand why i preach like i preach you'd understand why my praise is not programmed because i'm trying to get in the very presence of god because in the presence of god is the fullness of joy so i don't care who else is calling him pass me not o gentle savior hear my humble cry while on others thou art calling lord don't pass me by jerius seeks jesus the bible says that jesus went with him but on the way to jairus's daughter there is an interruption there's a woman with the issue of blood now the contrast in this text couldn't be more plain one is a man the other is a woman one is the ruler of the synagogue the other has an issue of blood one is a man of some standing the other is a woman whose problem would have never been heard because she's a woman and to make this contrast even more plain jarius asks jesus first but there's an interruption there's a woman who's had an issue of blood for 12 years who has just as much as an emergency as jarrius does but darius asks first his condition is serious her condition is serious but jarius is pleading with jesus come and go with me but you know what this woman she too needs her healing this woman she too needs jesus and with jesus just because it's not your turn doesn't mean it's not your time i wish i had a witness to this place today somebody you're watching right now and maybe somebody's not getting healed because you're trying to be sedate and wait your turn but when your situation gets bad enough when your situation gets tough enough you don't care who's in front of you you've got to get your healing you've got to get your blessing some people will never learn how to get it they'll never learn how to lay hands on god's miracles because they're trying to be sedate cool and calm but when your situation gets messed up enough when your situation gets jacked up enough when you need a shoulder miracle are you hearing what i'm saying you don't care who's looking at you you don't care who's talking about you you just say father i stretch my hand to thee because there's no other help that i know this woman is desperate she has an issue of blood it's constantly flowing she's constantly weak there's a stench and it kept her from church because in the book of leviticus a woman couldn't enter the temple on the time of her cycle this woman had an issue of blood that wouldn't dry up it was chronic and the issue was constant she probably even couldn't get married because no man would come near her because according to old testament law she had to cry unclean and if she were married with children she had to get away from her family because of her unclean condition so this woman is desperate but jarius is first he's first in line and in her mind she says i know it's not my turn but i believe it's my time and friends when your situation gets desperate enough when you're back up against the wall pride goes out the window status goes out the window degrees go out the window social standing goes out the window because when your situation is tore up from the floor up you've got to get to jesus and it's in this woman's desperate condition that she develops a confidence because the bible teaches that she had heard reports about jesus she had to then act on what she heard you see i've learned in my life that sometimes you've got to act on what you hear until you get some information of your own somebody's in a saving relationship with jesus right now because of what they heard from their mama their daddy their grandmama and their granddaddy what they told them so you acted on what you heard understand friends of mine but now that you've gotten a little older and now that you know jesus for yourself you don't have to act on somebody else's testimony you've got your own testimony you don't need the choir to get you excited you don't need the praise team to pump you up you don't need a praise and worship leader to come and tell you give god a hand of praise all you've got to do is look back over your life and look back over your life and see how far god has brought you through and then you're able to testify for yourself that god made away and what i love about jesus is jesus doesn't wait on ceremony jesus doesn't wait on ritual jesus doesn't wait on tradition but jesus comes to your rescue when you're desperate enough the woman says look i know i won't get a chance to talk with him but if i can just get to where he is if i can just find out when and where he's passing by if i can just get she said in that crowd i know they don't want me there because of my condition but i'm not worried about what they want i've got to get what i need and i believe i've got a witness who's watching right now because i know i've got some witnesses in this sanctuary who know that god will make a way that when your back is against the wall and it seems that all is over god will make a way yes he will he will deliver he will set you free he will draw the tears from your eyes he will heal your body god will make a way it's in this woman's desperate condition that she mixes what she believes with what she's heard and she says if i can just touch the hem of his garments she said i don't have to talk to him i don't have to run up and get in his face but if i can just touch the hem of his garment oh i wish i had a church in this place that i know i could be made whole if i can just talk to some prayer warriors then i know if i can just talk to some people who've been through what i'm going through then i know he will make a way and i've learned in my life you can't say i know until you can say i've been i've been sick i've been broke i i've been depressed i've been lost but since i met jesus what a wonderful change in my life has been wrought since jesus came into my heart since i met jesus now i know i heard he turned water into wine i heard he fed five thousand with two fish and five loaves of bread i heard he spat on the ground made mud put it on a man's eyes and he could see but when you look at your own situation now i know he's a healer now i know he's a provider now i know he's a waymaker is there anybody who knows what i'm talking about i know that if i touch his garment i will be made whole jesus was passing by on his way to jairus who asked first but although this woman was out of turn jesus was not out of time she touched his clothes and he stopped and when he stopped the blood stopped jesus oh hallelujah he turns around and he says somebody touch me y'all don't hear what i'm saying peter said lord what you talking about come on lord all these people around here touching you somebody is bound to touch you jesus said no no no no no somebody somebody touch me because power has gone out from me you see friends of mine let me throw this in right here there's a difference between bumping jesus and touching jesus too many people are bumping jesus not touching jesus they're bumping prayer not touching prayer bumping bible study not touching bible study bumping church not touching church bumping jesus not touching jesus but i don't want to just bump jesus i want to touch jesus i'm going to hold on to jesus and not let go do i have a witness in this place the bible says that the woman touches jesus her faith in jesus made her whole but again jarius asked jesus first and what do you do when it's your day your turn but somebody has to get theirs first somebody has to get their healing first somebody has to get their blessing first i've come to tell you that what you maybe need to understand that even when it looks like somebody else has to get their miracle first it doesn't change the fact that your miracle is on the way maybe god is saying i'm just trying to see how they're gonna act when i bless other people before i bless them i'm trying to see if they're gonna have an attitude when i bless somebody else and they get the miracle when somebody else gets the promotion when somebody else passes the test when somebody else gets the job first when somebody else graduates first when somebody else gets married first when somebody else gets the house or the car first when somebody else gets out of debt first when somebody else gets their healing first the woman got her healing first but what about darius so the story says one of jairus's messengers comes up to him and says jerius don't worry about it don't trouble the master your daughter is dead so here's jarius now if it weren't for this woman we would have made it on time if it weren't for this interruption we would have gotten to the house on time if it weren't for this distraction we would have gotten to the girl on time luke 850 really again when you go home says that jesus heard them i like how ellen white puts it in desire of ages otherwise sister white says that jarius caught the ear of jesus jesus responds fear not only believe and she shall be made whole now that's the bible version let me give you carlton burns version in other words whose report are you going to believe don't you know who i am i am the resurrection and the life if i do show up late i'm still early you're with the answer so why are you focusing on the problem it's not a miracle if i get there when you want me to it's a miracle when i show up late which leads me to lesson number three he may not come when you want him but he's always right on time he's an on-time god yes he is and if jesus made a way for the woman he'll make a way for jerry as his daughter because it is no secret what god can do what he's done for others he will do for you all right so i'm almost done jarius jesus rather gets to jerius's house jesus says i need peter james and john i don't need all 12 of you all but i just need peter james and john jesus says to all disciples i appreciate you i thank you but i just need peter james and john because we're getting ready to confront the enemy and i don't need no scared soldiers i just need peter james and john and lesson number four is applicable for me today the closer you get to your miracle your crowd is going to get smaller because everybody is nuts everybody is not going to understand the level of spiritual warfare that you're about to enter into i wish i had a witness in this place that's why you got to know who your peter james and john are it doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with matthew andrew and thomas but you've got to know who you're peter james and john are because everybody can't handle everything they get to the house the people in the house are crying jesus walks in with peter james and john jeter jesus says your daughter is not dead she's just asleep the bible says in verse 53 that the people in the house started laughing they started laughing like jesus was crazy that he was joking that he was making something up but then i like what verse 54 says it says that jesus put them out of the house that's a lesson number five for somebody today when you're praying for a miracle when you're looking for a miracle expecting the impossible believing the invisible feeling the intangible if you've got some people in the midst who are laughing doubting making fun and not believing in the name of jesus put them out there have been times in huntsville alabama when i've gone to huntsville hospital i feel my help coming and somebody was sick and the family wanted me to pray for healing for their sick relatives and i went in the hospital room but before i prayed i said now it was nice to meet you all but i believe in jehovah rapha i believe that jehovah is a healer and if you don't believe that ain't no hard feelings i'm not mad at you right now but i need you to get up out of this room because we're about to pray down the power of god and i don't need any doubting laughing unbelieving faithless spirits in the room i wish i had a witness in this place god told me to tell somebody that there are some people who are laughing at what god is getting ready to do in your life people laughing at me bird why are you leaving what you doing laughing at me but let them laugh all they want let them talk all they want i'm here to tell somebody that god is about to make a way they think you're crazy for believing something is about to happen but god is about to make a way and god told me to tell you to tell them to get their stuff and get out because you don't need folk in your life doubting your miracle you need somebody who's going to stand in agreement with you you need a child of god who knows how to fall on their knees and pray you need an arm swinging holy ghost intoxicated power praying child of god jesus loving person who can stand in agreement with you believing that god can work a miracle in your life late in the midnight hour god's gonna turn it around he's gonna work it out in your favor if you can't help me don't hinder me get from around me and get out jesus puts him out that's a word for somebody somebody's miracle will never come until you're willing to put the naysayers out out of your mind out of your space out of your body out of your spirit put them out verse 54 says and he took the damsel by the hand and said unto her made arise okay do you see what's going on jesus is talking to a dead girl jesus is talking to what's dead but he's speaking those things that aren't as though they are y'all don't hear what i'm saying lesson number six there comes a time in your life that you have to speak over those things that folks say are dead in your life you have to speak the stuff that folks said would never get up you've got to speak to every dead situation in your life and you've got to declare in the name of jesus get up and that god will make a way i know that people may be getting ready to have the funeral i know people may be saying it's over it can't happen but jesus is the resurrection and the life the power of life and death is in your tongue too many of us speak death over our lives too many of us speak death over our situations but there comes a time when you've got to speak life over your situation life over your family life over your marriage life over your children life over your grandchildren life over your job life over your education life over your friends life over your finances life over your sickness do you hear what i'm saying you've got to learn how to speak life come on y'all if the devil was gonna kill you he should have done it a long time ago come on but he couldn't do it why god wouldn't let him do it because god spoke life open up your mouth and speak life over that situation don't you receive that report from the enemy don't you sit back and believe it's over because i've come to tell you it ain't over until god says it's over you got to learn oh i hear my help coming you got to learn how to have a yet praise pastor byrd what is a yet praise oh it just hasn't happened yet the healing for your body it hasn't happened yet the job you've applied for it hasn't happened yet money for your bills it hasn't happened yet the bible says that darius's daughter got up and when the girl got up they were all astonished they were all amazed because he made a way i'm done you all but god told me to tell you something happens when you get a touch from jesus there's power when you make contact with jesus i ain't talking am i just bumping jesus i'm talking about touching jesus there's power when you touch jesus the woman with the issue of blood said if i could just touch the hem of his garbage when jesus gets to the little girl's house jesus shakes her by the hand he touches her he lifts her up all you need is one touch somebody knows that divinity can touch dust mercy can touch a mess hope can touch hopelessness love can touch loneliness peace can touch your problems joy can touch your junk and i don't know about you but i'm like the old folk now i'm so glad he touched me and oh the joy that floods my soul something happened and now i know he touched me and made me whole he made away i said he made away you heard what jesus can do now you know what jesus can do i feel a miracle getting ready to happen in somebody's life there's no need of waiting until it gets here going and praising right now don't wait till the battle is over you can go on and shout now go on and give him glory right now you better tell somebody the next time you see me my head won't be down the next time you see me i won't be running to the doctor because he made a way and i know god can make a way because i know what god has done for me carlton bird personally i know what god has done for me professionally god has made a way he made a way for this church baptized hundreds of church members he made a way people's lives changed he made a way evangelistic campaigns he made a way new school building he made a way family life center he made a way renovated church he made a way expanded media ministry he made a way

know what you're going through but take it from someone who knows he'll make a way i know the odds are stacked against you but he'll make a way i know that there are some people plotting against you but he'll make a way i know that evil is all around you but he'll make a way i know that your back is up against the wall and it seems and looks as if it's all over but he'll make a way i dare you to trust in the lord with all thine hearts and lean not unto thine own understanding in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your past he'll make a way i once was young but now i'm old but i've never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread he'll make a way the lord is my light my salvation whom shall i fear he'll make a way the lord is the strength of my life of whom shall i be afraid he'll make a way there's no weapon formed against me no weapon formed against you so prosper he'll make a way y'all he'll move mountains he causes walls to fall he calls his giants to fall he causes chains to break [Music] in the name of jesus he pulls down strongholds he'll make away don't know how he does it but he makes the way i don't know but i'm grateful he makes the way
