Pastor Tolan Morgan - Rise To The Occasion!

can I tell you ladies and gentlemen that God has a good end to your frustration you don't always know how God's gonna work it out and just because you don't know how God's gonna work it out doesn't mean God's not gonna work it out this ladies and gentlemen is the most definitive test and evaluation and examination of faith [Applause] I want to summon your senses and invite your intellect to the gospel that has been recorded by John the Gospel of John chapter number 11 John chapter 11 and it is there that the Holy Spirit is highlighted for us the context of Scripture beginning with verse number 39 John chapter 11 verse number 39 your Bible should read jesus said take you away the stone Martha the sister of him that was dead said unto Him Lord by this time he stinks for he has been dead for days jesus said unto her said I'm not unto you that if you would believe you should see the glory of God then they took away the stone from the place where the Dead was laid and Jesus lifted up his eyes and said father I thank you that you have heard me and I knew that you heard me always but because of the people would stand by I said it that they may believe that you have sent me and when he had spoken he cried with a loud voice Lazarus come forth and he that was dead came forth bound hand and foot with grave clothes and his face was bound about with a napkin jesus said unto them loose him and let him go I want to tag this text rise to the occasion rise to the occasion John's theological thrust of his book is to present Jesus Christ as God and so all of the content that is in John's Gospel is targeted towards that theological for us that Jesus was not just a servant he was not just a son he was not just a king he was not just one who was concerned for the least the lowly and the left out he was way more than that he was God in a human body and every story in John's Gospel except for every miracle in John's Gospel except for the feeding of the 5,000 is unique to John's Gospel and within the content and context of these signs there is some novel revelation about God through Christ that was only revealed through these particular events and scenarios in the Lord's itinerary here in John chapter 11 is this well-known common story about a man named Lazarus and interestingly enough Lazarus full biography in the Bible goes like this he got sick he died and was raised again from the dead that's all we know about Lazarus we don't know what kind of job he worked all we know is that he got sick he died and was raised again from the dead we don't know what school he went to we don't know if he has a degree or not we just know he got sick he died and was raised again from the dead we don't know if he had a wife or children all we know is that he got sick he died and was raised again from the dead we don't know if he has a criminal record or not we just know he got sick died and was raised again from the dead we're not sure if he had any kind of activity in the community if he had any kind of influence on making other people's lives better all we know is that he got sick died and was raised again from the dead he is only recorded in John chapter 11 and chapter 12 and in both of those chapters he never spoke he has no audible documentation in the biblical account he expresses no emotion all we know is that he got sick he died and was raised again from the dead we never she never spoke we don't know any of his sentiments we're not even sure of any impact that he had on anybody else's life all we know about Lazarus that he got sick died and was raised again from the dead ladies and gentlemen maybe you've missed it but that explains why he's in the Bible because of Lazarus ladies and gentlemen was only in the Bible to reflect another man who got sick of our sin and became sick with our sin died and was raised again from the day that that's the only reason why Lazarus is in the Bible he has this unique call an assignment from God to give a preview and a prelude to the death burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ he has no book he wrote he has no prophecy he spoke he has no sermon no parable all we know is that it was his job to get sick die and rise again from the dead Jesus ladies and gentlemen specifically stopped in Lazarus life after life to use Lazarus life to disclose something special and unique about God through Jesus Christ if you read in your leisure or labor this entire chapter of John chapter 11 you will discover that this story is lengthy it covers 44 verses from verse 1 to verse 44 and all we get in the preload of this event is this script that Jesus is operating by and the script included Lazarus dying and Jesus letting him die only to schedule his self in route to Calvary to stop by Lazarus grave and get him up after being dead for the he is outing story goals the verse one says there was a man in Bethany his name was Lazarus he got sick and he had two sisters Martha and Mary Jesus at the time was in Jerusalem and Martha and Mary sent word to Jesus which was two miles away that he whom you love is sick catch that church they didn't tell Jesus to come all they said was he whom you love is sick that was enough to suggest that Jesus should have stopped what he was doing to come in tin to Lazarus Lazarus Getz Jesus gets word that Lazarus is sick and he informs the disciples we're not going to go right now we're gonna stay here where we are for two more days because this sickness is not unto death but it is for the glory of God few days later Lazarus dies and then after Lazarus dies Jesus now decides that we need to go to Bethany and wake up Lazarus notice that when Jesus comes on the scene he turns death into sleep he calls death sleep suggesting that number one it's temporary number two you may not be aware what's going on and number three eventually you gonna get up he turns definis leaf he says Lazarus asleep the disciples was like well if he's Lia get up eventually why we got to go say in Jesus says plainly Lazarus is dead and I must go wake him the disciples decided to go with him he gets to Bethany and Lazarus sisters Mary and Martha are there not necessarily angry but they are frustrated with Jesus because I call for you you didn't respond I sent for you you didn't come when Lazarus was sick now he's dead and you want to show up after the fact they tell Jesus to his face face if you had been here my brother would not have died after this pre-lit of discourse Jesus finally raises this question where have you laid him and Jesus asked this question if you got a real Bible it's it says where have ye laid him ye in the Bible is always in the plural of you so it really translates where have you all laid him and they answered him and said Lord come and see they took Jesus to Lazarus grave that not this time in in in history this grave was not six feet in the ground it was a cave that's why he said you've got to move the stone away by the time we get to verse 39 verse 39 through 44 is the actual scene of Jesus Mary Martha and mourners at Lazarus grave this is the actual scene between verses 39 and 44 of Jesus at Lazarus grave and here we are in verse 39 would you focus with me at this actual scene and Jesus gets there and says something quite critical to Martha Mary and all of the mourners that were press he says at verse 39 you all take away the stone you all take away the stone I want to I want to see if we can comb this context and see if there's any relativity to our walk with God he says it take away the stone you all take away the stone now ladies and gentlemen this directive is critical because Martha and Mary have already expressed their frustration with Jesus both of them have told Jesus prior to getting to this grave if you had been here my brother would not have died would you catch this ladies and gentlemen both of these ladies are not expressing a lack of faith or belief in Jesus listen to what they said they said if you was here he wouldn't die which means they clearly believed in his power to have prevented Lazarus from dying they are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ so they are not wrestling with Jesus power they are wrestling with Jesus wheel they're wrestling with Jesus timing you're late we called you and you didn't respond we set for you and you did not come there they're not wrestling with God's power they're wrestling with his will and they find out something quite critical because ladies and gentlemen if it is John's theological thesis to present Jesus as God then he just cannot present Jesus as God just by the work of God he's got to present Jesus as God through the will of God he he's got to act like God's will and not just do God's work and what you and I have to understand is that this whole scene was scripted by Jesus to tell them I'm not going while he's sick I'm gonna wait till he dies I'm gonna stay here and let him die because I already know I'm going to get him up but the people who are part of the script don't know the conclusion and because they don't know the conclusion they are frustrated with what Jesus didn't do when they wanted him to do it because they are operating in time and he's operating in eternity ken can I tell you ladies and gentlemen that God has a good end to your frustration you don't always know how God's go work it out and just because you don't know how God's gonna work it out doesn't mean God's not gonna work it out this ladies and gentlemen is the most definitive test and evaluation and examination of faith come here come here he says where did you all lay him take me where you laid him they took him there and he looks back at the same people who laid him there and said now you all who laid him there take away the stone that you put here come here come here ladies and gentlemen the first thing we got to understand about this take away to stone is that it is a critical moment because mayor and Martha gotta obey Jesus after he has disappointed them they gotta do what the Lord said do after they're frustrated with God after he has delayed them after he has disappointed them and they still gotta obey Him after God has seemingly let them down no no no no no I'm not talking to you deep people today I'm talking to the real people who testify that God didn't always do what you wanted him to do when you wanted him to do it he delayed you he had you waiting and then turned around and told you to do something and now your faith is on an evaluation because the question becomes can you obey God after he's disappointed you can't you obey God after he has delayed you can you obey God when he didn't move when you wanted him to move how you wanted him to move because you found out that you are not God that God does not operate on your timing and on your schedule and ladies and gentlemen Mary and Martha watch this y'all Mary and Martha fed Jesus Mary and Martha housed Jesus Mary and Martha took care of Jesus while he was on his itinerary which is why he's familiar with the family that's why they sent the word he whom you love is sick there is some family history here there is some familiarity here and catch it y'all Mary and Martha believe that they got some kind of credit with Jesus mercy they got some kind of credit with Jesus just cuz they done fear Jesus and housed Jesus and took care of Jesus and watch what Jesus does Jesus who is fully aware of how they have taken care of him is move or govern by them who believe they got some kind of hookup or credit with him no no no no he is not going to be dictated by those who believe they got some kind of special credit with you know he does let me tell you something this is a painful point but you got to get it today ladies and gentlemen your faithfulness to God does not dictate God's will preaching here Tolan Morgan your faithfulness to God does not run God and you and I cannot hold God's ability hostage just because we think we got some kind of credit with God God is going to operate by his will no matter what you do for him or not because he is in control and you and I he says wait a minute take away the stone because if you're going to see something special you've got to learn to obey me and do what I told you to do after I've delayed you after I've disappointed you this is a critical point ladies and gentlemen because they put that stone there as a sign that we're done with Lazarus and Jesus says take away the stone can I give you one more insight on this stone he says take away the stone they put it there to suggest that whatever we're done with Lazarus we're done with him now he is fully disposed and and and and and put away with indignity we're done with him Jesus says take away the stone to the people who put the stone there I don't know whose point this is for I almost was struggling to get this point out because I really don't want y'all to take this the wrong way but the point is right there in the text so I still got to say it ladies and gentlemen here's what this is what this lesson teaches us I'm still in verse 31 he says if you take away the stone somebody can come back to life if you reopen what you once closed you put this stone here and you gotta go back and reopen a situation that you thought was dead and if you be bold enough rate stolen Morgan to go reopen what you closed somebody is gonna come back to life I don't know whose point that is for and it's obviously not for everybody but God is calling some of you back to a situation you closed and if you go back and reopen that situation somebody is gonna come back to life if you're bold enough to go revisit a situation you thought you were done with reach in here can I tell you ladies and gentlemen what you think you've done with God is not done with it he's got some more what to be done he's got some more blessings to be done all you got to do is be bold enough to go reopen what you once closed and what you thought was over God's got some more work to be done come here but there's something I got to share with you he says take away the stone he says take ye all away the stone or you all take away the stone taking away the stone ladies and gentlemen cannot be done by one person Lord hold you boy here take away the stone cannot be done by one person it's got to be done by you all it's it's it's a it's it's a big stone that covers the mouth of a cave so it's not a little stone it's a big stone it cannot be taken away by one person so whoever is gonna take away the stone can't be weak whoever's gonna take away the stone got to have some strength hold your boy here whoever's gonna take away this stone gotta have some vigor and some life to them but if they take away the stone their assignment is to remove the obstacle that's in the way of the miracle I'll preach to myself happy I say their assignment is to remove the obstacle that's in the way of the miracle I don't know who I'm preaching to but in this next season some of your relationships are going to be tested because the next miracle that is going to come in your life is gonna require some people who will be willing to take on your obstacle without trying to steal your miracle I'm preaching so good in here today I'm telling you you got to reevaluate some relationships around you because there are some people who are only attached to you because they won't show miracle and not your obstacle has anointed to pacifically deal with your obstacle so that you can have your miracle and God deliver us from leeches and parasites only attached to you because they won't show miracle and don't want you obstacle there are somebody assigned to you understand to this person to remove their obstacle so they can get to their miracle might I suggest to you ladies and gentlemen you got to have some people in your life that's got some strength because their assignment is your obstacle and not your miracle take away the stone take away the stone you okay let me see if I can get specific Martha and Mary were not the day that Jesus was talking to because two women can't move no stone no no no there were other mourners there who came to mourn the loss of Lazarus because the mourning process went a whole week long and they were the ones who assisted in putting Lazarus in his mummification preparation and putting him in that grave and Jesus says y'all gonna get this the same people who shut the door on this situation are the exact same people who need to go remove this stone and use your strength to help somebody else get to their miracle can I ask you a question it is not who what is your assignment the real question is who are you assigned to the real question is who are you assigned to the real question is are you sure that you can accept the assignment of moving somebody else's obstacle because that's where your real strength lies that's where your real strength is going to be revealed not in how you get your hands on somebody else's blessing but how you help somebody else get to their bless and take away the stone he said take away the stone his was critical what's critical ladies and gentlemen is that to take away the stone is to defy a Jewish superstition the Jews believe superstitiously that the soul the disembodied spirit of the deceased lingered around the grave for three days and upon that fourth day they would go away so to take away the stone is to disturb the activity around the grave I did not say it was Scripture I said it was Jewish superstition so to take away this stone at the time jesus said it is to suggest that if you want to see something miraculous in your life you got to be willing to do something untraditional I know what they used to do but I'm telling you to do something that was not normally done cuz you're getting ready to see something that we don't normally see all right you don't believe me Jesus has on record three three restorations of life that first one was gyruss daughter it was javis daughters and Mark chapter five gyruss daughter died and when gyruss daughter died Jesus showed up just after she died just after she took a last breath so he showed up at her death the next one was in Luke chapter 7 at the widow and nain son they were in the funeral procession Jesus tops the funeral possession puts his hand on the coffin and the boy comes back to life that was that the funeral but here in John chapter 11 Jesus shows up after the funeral after the death and at the grave y'all gonna get this in one second he shows up at every stage of death just after they died wow they have an ephemeral and when they got buried and when they got buried Jesus shows up at the burial and says listen I know y'all don't think I can handle this situation but just show me where you laid him where did you last leave a stinky situation you thought I couldn't handle stinky situations yes why you said if he had a bin here my brother wouldn't have died can I get nosy in your business don't look at me at that tone of voice cuz I'm coming for you can I get nose in your business and tell you that there are a bunch of Mary's and Martha's looking at me because you believe like Mary and Martha that Jesus had the power to stop it but they didn't believe Jesus had the power to restore it and ladies and gentlemen that's where we are in our world right now we got cases going up we got pandemonium going up God is not stopping what we want him to stop but can I tell you the good news if he don't stop what you want him to stop he got the power to start what you claim start if he doesn't stop what you think he should stop we got the power to restart and restore what you thought was over can I tell you you can't limit God to what you think he can stop because he can stop it and start it all over again is that not good news for us today that Jesus can come in a bad situation even when it is sneaking and started all over again she said Jesus hold on wait a minute wait a minute you wanna sir you wants to remove this stone and we can't do that cuz but been in there for four days and he stinks y'all miss you so let me help you he was sick you missed it he died you missed it now you want to show up for the decomposition he gets think which technically means he'd been in a grave for days but he been dead longer than that he in the Jewish custom they buried them on the same day they died which means when he died he had been dead for a while and then they buried him he's dead longer than he been buried so he has started the decomposition process his body is starting to rot and it's starting to decompose it is starting to be corrupt it is starting to be stinky and Jesus says take away the stone cuz I'm the God that can handle stinky situations take away the stone cuz I'm the God that can step in when it stinks the worse lord have mercy - because I'm trying to prove to you that I stepped in when the situation was at its worst because there is no situation - bad for me to step in and change it I was waiting until it got so bad that it was out of your control now I'm gonna do it step in to your stinky situation and speak to your stink rate stolen Morgan what it look like I'm doing I just speak to a stinky situation he shows up at that grave they move the stone but Mary and Martha are wrestling with this moment they're wrestling with this moment y'all got a Bible get your Bible please get your Bible so you won't know I'm alive get your body so you can see the truth of the text he says take away the stone and in verse 40 and 41 Mary and Martha said hold on man he stinks Martha says Martha says he stinks he'd been there for days did y'all see what Jesus said to her in the next verse you don't read your Bible so let me see what it says he said she said he thinks he'd been there for days the next verse Jesus says hey lady did not tell you if you believe you'll see the glory to the Lord see see y'all got y'all gonna see the real nice version is said I not unto you know but US version is I did not tell you if you believe you gonna see the glory of the Lord can I tell you what Martha Mary as mothers wrestling with Jesus has to remind her of what he told her in verse 25 and 26 he said to her he that believes and his dead shall live and he that lives shall never die do you believe this Martha said yeah I believe you are the son of the Living God and he shall be raised in the last day Jesus in paraphrase reminds her in verse 40 and 41 of what he said to her in verse 25 and 26 lady did you not hear what I said I said if you believe you don't see the glory of the Lord can tell you what Martha's wrestling with she's wrestling Church with having to look at death while listening to life oh Jesus is in her ear telling her that despite what you see you are looking at death but you got to learn how to listen to life so she's caught in a in a very peculiar situation cousin life is talking to her but she's looking at this she's caught between revelation in her ear and reality in her eyes is that not were you and I are every week we keep hearing a word from the Lord we keep hearing positive information but keep looking on the TV keep seeing negative numbers keep seeing things go up keep hearing about people dying and people being sick ladies and gentlemen all Jesus was trying to get her to do is to not let her reality kill her revelation he was trying to get her to understand that having faith it's not based on what you see it's based on what you hear because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of the Lord let me put my own two cents on this and tell you ladies and gentlemen despite what I see every day I still believe that God is gonna give us a vaccine despite what I see every day I still believe that God is gonna heal bodies who are being sick despite what I see every day I still believe that the Saints will come back together and worship the Lord Jesus Christ together in this corporate place despite what I see I still believe that life will return the way is going to be because Jesus is gonna rise to the occasion I wish I had some people in here we will make some kind of declaration that you don't have to let everything negative determine how your faith is gonna be lived out you gotta allow your revelation to not die looking at your reality your reality is your reality but your revelation cannot become a victim of your reality he said lady I told you if you'll just believe you'll be able to see the glory of the Lord oh okay now says you don't believe watch me show out when you don't even have faith Oh y'all missed him see for every time y'all shout about what the Lord did cuz you asked him to do it I dare you think about sometimes God bless you and you didn't even believe he could do it I'll tell you to give him glory for some stuff that he did you didn't pray about fast about you didn't think about you didn't intercede about God did it and you didn't even believe he could do it watch God he wants you he said just just something to check tell me where you taking with you even where you laid him they took Jesus down the lazarus grave and watch what my boy jesus did the first thing jesus did was made a proclamation of thanksgiving he gets to the graveyard I'm in the Bible I'm in verse 42 he gets to he gets to the graveside of Lazarus and the first thing he says in order for me to believe God about this new situation I got to take some time to thank him about some old stuff y'all missed it the Bible says he got there to the grave and pray to God and thank God that you heard me I'm gonna give you all a few minutes I'm not gonna rush you to this point but what the text clearly teaches us church is that sometimes your next miracle is contingent on how you can thank him for some old stuff if you can be grateful about some as God has already done some ways he's already made sometimes he's already heard you that is the prelude and the introduction to our new miracle takes some time to thank God that he fed you and you unemployed he fed you and kept you when you didn't have enough money to take care of yourself he has met every need in your life while your provision seems to be dwindling god help us to be grateful and not to be stingy god help us to be grateful and not always be begging and asking but take some time to thank God for some stuff he's already done in our lives he offers a proclamation of Thanksgiving but then he offers a proclamation of transformation he said Lord let me tell you while I'm talking to you I want to thank you first of all ready hearing me but uh he's a father I said what I said so that some people would believe that you sent me very very simply ladies and gentlemen sometimes God permits certain stuff to happen to you cuz he trying to win other people sometimes God allows certain challenges in your life because it's really not about you it's about the people who are connected to you it's about the people who are around you who see you be faithful and not convinced of the God that you are faithful to he says I'm trying to win them and transition them into the faith because Mary and Martha and Lazarus so this really is their miracle but it's somebody else's transformation God trusts you to go through some trouble just so somebody else can be transformed God trusts you to handle the challenges of life so that somebody else can be changed by how you handle crisis he offers this proclamation of things given and he offers his proclamation of transformation but he also offers this proclamation of transition I'm there here it is I'm in verse 44 43 and 44 he says Lazarus come forth I told y'all at the beginning of this little Easter speech that John's whole theological thrust is to present Jesus as God and in doing so John has to be specific that whatever he writes he's got to show that Jesus can do what God can do and only Jesus can do what only God can do and if there is no more definitive notion of what God can do watch this Jesus shows up Lazarus grave with with his body wrapped up napkin over his face I'll stone over the mouth of the grave and calls his name the reason why he called his name because God is the only person that the dead are not deaf - he is not just the God he's the God of the Dead and even the dead cannot be best to the directive of the divine Dolan Morgan might I tell you your child may not hear you but when God call them they're gonna respond yo your loved one may be struggling on drugs and they can't hear you but when God call them they can't respond cuz it doesn't matter what state you in when God calls you you got to respond and nobody is deaf to the voice of the Living God not even the dead y'all missed the text he got a napkin around his face which means his ears are wrapped up he's got his hands bound hand and foot he is dead and he's got a stone over the mouth of his grave and Jesus just says Lazarus come forth y'all read the text text says he said it with a loud voice that the deafness of the cannot defy the volume of God's voice that that when God when God speaks loudly even the death and the dead respond it is that same loud voice that's gonna happen that Paul talked about in 1st Thessalonians chapter 4 that the clouds are gonna crack the sky will crack open the trumpet shall sound and the Lord shall descend from heaven with the voice of a trumpet and with the voice of an archangel and the dead in Christ shall rise first his voice is strong enough to wake up the dead he said Lazarus come forth you had to say Lazarus y'all cuz daddy used to say if he went to that grave and just said come forth everybody and they would've got up so he he had specified Lazarus name cuz if he would have just said come forth all the whole cemetery would that's he gonna reserve that so when he come back but this time he says Lazarus come forth I gotta quit when I tell you all this uh-uh we got the clothes on this come forth culzean come forth what what is what is then in the Greek is one word they roll it means to come here it means to come here Madhusudan means to come here since since you say Amen to me up in this church today it means to it mean to come here what what Jesus really said to Lazarus Lazarus come here but if y'all got a Bible like it and can read it when Jesus said come here what he was really saying he wasn't really saying come here he was saying come here cuz come here really means come out y'all miss what I said he is in a case he is bandaged hand and foot his napkin is over his face he is dead he is insensitive to any living Jesus says come here and the call to come here is a call to come out come out that dead situation come out of that grave cause that's not where I want you to be right now the call to come here is a call to come out Noah in Genesis chapter 6 God had made up in his mind he was gonna destroy the world and because it was so sinful and so wicked and the Bible says but the Lord found grace nor found grace in the eyes of the Lord and then God gave him assignment to build this Ark so that means if he had to build an ark he had to come out of the sinful activity of the world that he was in and do what the Lord called him to do Genesis chapter 12 verse 1 and 2 God sent the call to Abram and said listen man get out of your country get from him wrong yo kindred I'll make your name great and make you a great nation he couldn't become a great nation until he come out of her of Caddy's and come out from amongst his kindred you remember David don't you who who was Israel's first God's elected King and God anointed him in in 1st Samuel chapter 16 put that all on his head that all ran down he's about 16 17 years old took office at the age of 30 but he couldn't do that until he had come out of his daddy's pasture you you remember Moses don't you who got that call from that burning bush interview in Exodus chapter 3 verse 1 who has been called to be the lawgiver and liberator of God's people to bring them out of Egyptian slavery but he couldn't do that till he come out of his father-in-law's house Jethro in Midian you remember Esther don't you she is the queen who became the king's queen of Persia in the book of Esther but she couldn't do that until she had come out of slavery can I get any help in this room can I tell you ladies and gentlemen you remember Ruth don't you who now becomes a part of the lineage of Jesus Christ though she's not Jewish she's more bitey she had to come out of Moab and follow her mother-in-law back to Jerusalem do you remember the disciples don't you not he chapter 4 James and John Peter and Andrew who were fishers of men but in order to do that they had to come out of the Sea of Galilee and stop what they were doing do you remember Matthew don't you who wrote the Gospel of Matthew he was one of the Lord's disciples but in Matthew chapter 9 verse 9 the Bible says he got caught out of the receipt of custom to quit his job and go on to work for the Lord you remember don't you who now writes 50% of the New Testament but he couldn't do it until he had come out of the persecution of the Saints can I tell you ladies and gentlemen it's time for you to come here and coming here means you got to come out of whatever you in because God has another assignment for your life whenever God says come here it really means come out and I got some good news for you ladies and gentlemen when you come out you ought to give him praise I said when you come out you ought to give Him praise Peter says when I came out I wrote this thing very clearly at first Peter 2 and 9 he says for you are a chosen generation a royal priesthood who should show forth the praises of him who brought you out of darkness into his marvelous light I want to see is there anybody who is looking and listening to me who's not ashamed to tell the world today I have been called out of what God has called me to him because he brought me out of what I was in and I was in a stinky dead situation no but that ain't a miracle mm-hmm that's not the mirror y'all telling me I don't care that ain't the miracle that ain't the miracle y'all missed the miracle read the miracle here it is I'm done here we go the miracle is not that Lazarus came out the miracle is he came out still bound he's bound hand and foot and there is I'm not getting over his face how did he come out ladies and gentlemen I got good news for you God doesn't have to fix your situation for you to come out not free I got the power to do the impossible even when you're not completely free he still can't bring you out and the good news is when he came out he looked at the people he said listen not y'all lose him and set him free loose him and let him go let me upset you good Church people can't take what Jesus doing here's what he said hey it was my job to bring him back to life it's your job to get him back to living it ain't my job to do everything you can do it's the church's job that when they come out of a dead
