1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,740 Give him praise if it's possible in his house. 2 00:00:03,740 --> 00:00:07,140 Hallelujah, as you remain standing this morning, 3 00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:10,280 you can go ahead and get your Bible. 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,480 So good to have in our fellowship 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,480 and part of our fellowship, Dr. Milton Carter. 6 00:00:19,780 --> 00:00:21,860 His bio would read long. 7 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,200 But at the top of that, I call him friend. 8 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,360 We've known each other for several, several years now. 9 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,100 Our relationship developed as I would sit 10 00:00:39,340 --> 00:00:41,920 and hear him instruct and teach. 11 00:00:43,940 --> 00:00:45,200 Leadership guru. 12 00:00:49,020 --> 00:00:52,520 The first son of Barnabas, Barnabas Junior. 13 00:00:54,380 --> 00:00:57,060 The most encouraging, and I say it with all my heart, 14 00:00:57,060 --> 00:01:01,220 you are the most encouraging person that I've ever met. 15 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,000 And it does me good to get close to you. 16 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,360 I need a little of that ooze on me 17 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,100 because I'm not that person. 18 00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:13,940 Try to be, aspire to be, and you give me hope. 19 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,780 Pastor, teacher, professor, educator, he still teaches. 20 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,520 Retired from pastoral ministry, 21 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,360 and somehow the Lord brought him to Hopewell. 22 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,000 Amen? 23 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,160 He and Sister Violet 24 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,440 have found their place here and part of our family. 25 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,600 And sometimes I just know him as Brother Milton. 26 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,340 That's our relationship. 27 00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:54,420 But there's a time when you gotta let folk know 28 00:01:54,420 --> 00:01:55,840 who's among them. 29 00:02:01,460 --> 00:02:05,220 And it is an honor for him to fill our pulpit this morning. 30 00:02:05,220 --> 00:02:09,200 Several weeks ago, actually the Lord laid it way on my heart. 31 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,340 We were planning out our yearly calendar, 32 00:02:13,340 --> 00:02:14,640 and we got to this Sunday, 33 00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:16,440 and the Lord is really in our meeting, 34 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,900 just really just tugged at my heart 35 00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:21,540 to have Brother Milton preach today. 36 00:02:21,540 --> 00:02:23,480 So you know how that excites me, 37 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,920 knowing that that's been coming. 38 00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:29,380 It lets me know that God has something through his servant 39 00:02:29,380 --> 00:02:31,120 to speak into our hearts today. 40 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,280 Amen? 41 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,480 Would you make Brother Milton Carter welcome 42 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,420 as he comes to preach to us today? 43 00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:39,420 Come on, Dr. Carter, preach to us. 44 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,500 Love you brother, appreciate it. 45 00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:49,140 Well, let's give the Lord a great ovation of praise 46 00:02:49,140 --> 00:02:51,940 in his house today, amen. 47 00:02:51,940 --> 00:02:53,900 Would you just give him a wave offering? 48 00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:56,980 Could we just be extravagant in our worship today, 49 00:02:56,980 --> 00:02:59,820 and bless the name of the Lord, 50 00:02:59,820 --> 00:03:01,820 bless the name of the Lord. 51 00:03:01,820 --> 00:03:04,180 Would you just put your other hand up 52 00:03:04,180 --> 00:03:07,480 and invite his manifest presence 53 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,360 to be great and mighty among us. 54 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,220 Father, we give all praise, all glory to you, Lord. 55 00:03:14,220 --> 00:03:19,240 We invite the presence of the Lord to fill the house, 56 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,240 and fill every person here today in Jesus' name. 57 00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:29,540 Let's praise him one more time, amen. 58 00:03:29,540 --> 00:03:30,380 Amen. 59 00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:33,180 Praise God, amen. 60 00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:36,360 You may be seated, and greetings to all of you 61 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,480 church family today. 62 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,760 I do give honor to our wonderful senior pastor and wife, 63 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,600 and pastors Brian and Erica. 64 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,800 After this morning, I'm gonna be on my Ps and Qs 65 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,740 for the rest of my time here at Hopewell. 66 00:03:53,740 --> 00:03:56,080 I'm afraid the pastor will put my phone number 67 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,240 on the screen. 68 00:03:58,140 --> 00:04:02,420 So I'm gonna be very, very careful about what I do. 69 00:04:02,420 --> 00:04:05,320 Praise God, it's so good to be a worshiper of the Lord 70 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,620 with you today. 71 00:04:06,620 --> 00:04:09,360 Are you excited about the presence of the Lord 72 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,360 in this service? 73 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,200 Hallelujah. 74 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,360 There's something wonderful happening in the spirit world 75 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,700 in this sanctuary today. 76 00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:22,540 I felt like the entire church just engaged that song 77 00:04:22,540 --> 00:04:27,540 a few moments ago as we were reminding ourselves 78 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,320 that we're praying to the God of Jacob, 79 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,020 to the God of Moses, hallelujah. 80 00:04:35,020 --> 00:04:37,880 The very God who created the world, our Father, 81 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,320 we're praying to him today. 82 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,500 His eye is upon the Hopewell Church of God. 83 00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:47,200 I'm so grateful for his touch today. 84 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,760 Would you journey with me to the Gospel of Luke 85 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,700 as we spend a few moments in the word of the Lord? 86 00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:56,400 The Gospel of Luke chapter number four, 87 00:04:57,340 --> 00:04:59,440 just four verses of scripture, 88 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,880 as we look at one of the great miracles of Jesus. 89 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,640 This miracle is the story of Jesus healing 90 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,520 Peter's mother-in-law. 91 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,280 It is the fourth miracle of Jesus 92 00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:21,660 out of the 37 miracles recorded in the Gospel. 93 00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:25,760 And John says that there are many other words 94 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,200 and miracles and works that Jesus did 95 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,000 that we don't even have recorded. 96 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,940 Thank God for his unlimited power. 97 00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:37,840 This miracle is sometimes overshadowed 98 00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:40,000 by even greater miracles, 99 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,200 but I think this is still one of the greatest, 100 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,580 it makes my list of the great miracles of Jesus. 101 00:05:45,580 --> 00:05:50,580 Verse 38, and now he arose from the synagogue 102 00:05:51,580 --> 00:05:53,820 and entered Simon's house, 103 00:05:53,820 --> 00:05:58,820 but Simon's wife's mother was sick with a high fever, 104 00:06:00,260 --> 00:06:05,120 and they made requests of him concerning her. 105 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,140 So he stood over her, pictured Jesus walking over 106 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,340 to the bed where his mother-in-law was lying down, 107 00:06:15,340 --> 00:06:20,340 and Jesus stood over her and rebuked the fever, 108 00:06:21,340 --> 00:06:23,940 and it left her. 109 00:06:23,940 --> 00:06:28,920 Two of the other writers said it immediately left her. 110 00:06:29,620 --> 00:06:30,660 Praise God. 111 00:06:31,820 --> 00:06:33,560 The latter part of verse 19, 112 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,720 and immediately she arose, and immediately she got up, 113 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,200 she arose and served them. 114 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,000 Verse 40, when the sun was setting, 115 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,000 all those who had any who were sick with various diseases 116 00:06:50,580 --> 00:06:53,440 brought them to him, 117 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:58,440 and he laid his hands on every one of them, 118 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,180 and healed them. 119 00:07:01,180 --> 00:07:05,780 May it so happen in this house of worship today. 120 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,920 And demons also came out of many crying out and saying, 121 00:07:12,820 --> 00:07:16,460 you are the Christ, the Son of God, 122 00:07:16,460 --> 00:07:21,460 and he rebuking them did not allow them to speak. 123 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,240 Praise God for his authority, 124 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,240 for they knew that he was the Christ. 125 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,940 You will see in just a moment on the screen 126 00:07:32,940 --> 00:07:37,120 that I am in alignment with Pastor Waters' vision 127 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,440 for this year. 128 00:07:39,340 --> 00:07:42,660 Advancing, what a great word. 129 00:07:42,660 --> 00:07:45,380 Advancing beyond all limitations, 130 00:07:45,380 --> 00:07:47,920 and specifically this morning, 131 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,000 I wanna invite you to pray with me 132 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,860 and seek the Lord with me that this might be a year 133 00:07:53,860 --> 00:07:57,440 when we in our homes could advance, 134 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,440 and move forward in our faith to gather in our marriages 135 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,080 and in our families, praise God. 136 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,940 I believe this is very biblical 137 00:08:05,940 --> 00:08:09,140 because we know from the very earliest of times, 138 00:08:09,140 --> 00:08:14,160 God established the home as the primary building block 139 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,260 of all society. 140 00:08:16,260 --> 00:08:21,020 In Genesis chapter two, when God created Adam and Eve, 141 00:08:21,020 --> 00:08:24,100 he said, and the man shall leave his father and mother, 142 00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:29,100 and the man shall cleave or hold fast to his wife, 143 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,040 and they will be one flesh. 144 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,400 God is a God who established the family 145 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,820 long before the church. 146 00:08:37,820 --> 00:08:40,140 No surprise, you know this. 147 00:08:40,140 --> 00:08:43,320 The very first churches were not even constructed 148 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,860 until about 200 AD, so for the first 200 years, 149 00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:51,160 we know that the early church, the early Christians 150 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,160 worshiped in homes, they went from house to house. 151 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,940 Paul wrote to the Corinthians, 152 00:08:58,940 --> 00:09:01,540 and he spoke of Aquila and Priscilla, 153 00:09:01,540 --> 00:09:05,940 and he mentioned the house church that they were leading. 154 00:09:05,940 --> 00:09:10,940 When he wrote to Philemon, he mentions in greeting 155 00:09:12,340 --> 00:09:14,580 those who would be around Philemon 156 00:09:14,580 --> 00:09:17,520 that he also had a house church. 157 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,680 And I wanna thank God today that our homes 158 00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:24,660 can still be sanctuaries of the Lord. 159 00:09:24,660 --> 00:09:26,020 Hallelujah. 160 00:09:26,020 --> 00:09:29,940 I've heard it many times that whatever happens in church 161 00:09:29,940 --> 00:09:31,900 should also happen in our homes, 162 00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:34,240 and I agree with that 100%. 163 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,980 But I also believe that whatever happens in the home 164 00:09:37,980 --> 00:09:41,640 should also be duplicated, it should be the model 165 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,080 for what happens in the house of God. 166 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,780 All week long, while we're praying and worshiping 167 00:09:48,780 --> 00:09:53,580 and seeking God in our homes, could we just get 168 00:09:53,580 --> 00:09:56,560 in our automobile and drive to church 169 00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:58,860 and just continue what we've been doing 170 00:09:58,860 --> 00:10:03,860 all week long in our homes in the name of Jesus? 171 00:10:04,860 --> 00:10:06,240 Praise God. 172 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,440 Perhaps you've heard the story of a man 173 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,700 by the name of Richard Orlansky. 174 00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:13,740 I saw this many years ago in a morning news report. 175 00:10:13,740 --> 00:10:16,540 I was in the car, and I had finished breakfast, 176 00:10:16,540 --> 00:10:18,880 and I was getting ready to leave for the day 177 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,080 and just looking at the news headlines, 178 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,080 and the story of Richard Orlansky was told 179 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,260 by one of the morning news programs. 180 00:10:27,260 --> 00:10:30,220 Richard Orlansky, just a few days before, 181 00:10:30,220 --> 00:10:34,460 on Long Island, New York, had been out garage selling, 182 00:10:34,460 --> 00:10:37,800 yard selling with his wife, and he found 183 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,100 at one particular place an oil painting 184 00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:43,240 leaning up against the garage. 185 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,400 And he looked at it with his eyes. 186 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,440 The story was that he actually wanted it for the frame. 187 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,620 He thought that would be a nice frame. 188 00:10:51,620 --> 00:10:54,620 I can take that painting home, and sure enough, 189 00:10:54,620 --> 00:10:57,460 he bought it for $21. 190 00:10:57,460 --> 00:11:01,160 He went home and sat in his basement for a few days, 191 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,400 and a few days later, he walks down, 192 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,760 wipes off all of the dust, and gently takes a brush 193 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,560 and brushes off the canvas and cleans it, literally, 194 00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:13,900 the canvas, and began to think how he could repurpose 195 00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:15,440 the frame. 196 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,340 He noticed in the right-hand corner a name 197 00:11:18,340 --> 00:11:20,480 that looked kind of familiar. 198 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,180 He had an eye for artists and artistic works, 199 00:11:24,180 --> 00:11:26,920 and he thought, I need to get this checked. 200 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,420 Long story short, he went into New York City, 201 00:11:30,420 --> 00:11:34,400 took his painting, $21 worth of oil painting, 202 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,020 and found out that he had a rare painting that 203 00:11:38,020 --> 00:11:43,300 was worth $1.4 million. 204 00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:45,940 When I heard that story that day, I looked at Violet, 205 00:11:45,940 --> 00:11:50,100 and I said, honey, go yard selling any time you want to go. 206 00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:51,880 There will be gas in the car. 207 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,520 Go to every garage sale, and be sure to go to the art department 208 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,420 of every yard sale. 209 00:11:58,420 --> 00:12:00,980 I don't think in my home there's anything 210 00:12:00,980 --> 00:12:04,120 worth $1.4 million. 211 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,960 Wouldn't that be nice? 212 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,220 But I do know there's something more valuable than gold 213 00:12:09,220 --> 00:12:11,720 or silver in my home. 214 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,640 There is a possession in my home and in your home 215 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,740 that far exceeds the worth of this world, 216 00:12:19,740 --> 00:12:24,280 and that's the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. 217 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:30,020 That's the faith of Jesus Christ that dwells in our homes. 218 00:12:30,020 --> 00:12:31,180 Hallelujah. 219 00:12:31,180 --> 00:12:33,040 Some have said, I sure would like 220 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,820 to have been there when the children of Israel 221 00:12:35,820 --> 00:12:37,660 were walking through the wilderness 222 00:12:37,660 --> 00:12:41,380 and to look out at night and see the pillar of fire, 223 00:12:41,380 --> 00:12:44,380 how comforting that must have been. 224 00:12:44,380 --> 00:12:47,500 And others have said to walk out in the daytime 225 00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:51,140 and see that cloud hovering over the encampment 226 00:12:51,140 --> 00:12:55,420 and how it was visibly reminding them that God is with us. 227 00:12:55,420 --> 00:12:59,140 I want to tell you it's possible every day in our homes 228 00:12:59,140 --> 00:13:02,760 to know that he is with us, that he lives in us, 229 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,780 that he dwells in us. 230 00:13:04,780 --> 00:13:09,540 I want to see God and meet God in my home. 231 00:13:09,540 --> 00:13:10,980 Hallelujah. 232 00:13:10,980 --> 00:13:13,380 Praise God. 233 00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:15,740 As we look at this passage of scripture this morning, 234 00:13:15,740 --> 00:13:19,460 the first thing we see is that Jesus was in the synagogue 235 00:13:19,460 --> 00:13:21,420 on the Sabbath day. 236 00:13:21,420 --> 00:13:25,180 It must have been a wonderful day in the synagogue that day. 237 00:13:25,180 --> 00:13:28,940 It must have been a great day for the city of Capernaum 238 00:13:28,940 --> 00:13:33,220 where Jesus was there with his good friends who had just 239 00:13:33,220 --> 00:13:36,540 become his disciples, Peter and Andrew. 240 00:13:36,540 --> 00:13:39,420 John and James were there with him. 241 00:13:39,420 --> 00:13:41,580 There were other men and women and children 242 00:13:41,580 --> 00:13:43,540 in the synagogue that day. 243 00:13:43,540 --> 00:13:46,540 And the Bible says on this particular Sabbath day, 244 00:13:46,540 --> 00:13:51,380 the people were astonished at the power and the authority 245 00:13:51,380 --> 00:13:54,020 which Jesus spoke. 246 00:13:54,020 --> 00:13:56,500 The Bible says that he was explaining to them 247 00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:59,860 the kingdom of God and the truths of God. 248 00:13:59,860 --> 00:14:04,420 And Luke says in verse 32 that they were astonished. 249 00:14:04,420 --> 00:14:07,580 They were mesmerized by his teaching. 250 00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:09,620 And they ask, where does he possess 251 00:14:09,620 --> 00:14:11,820 this kind of authority? 252 00:14:11,820 --> 00:14:15,300 I want to tell you when Jesus begins to speak into our lives, 253 00:14:15,300 --> 00:14:17,380 when he begins to speak to us, we 254 00:14:17,380 --> 00:14:19,980 sense that there is the authority of heaven 255 00:14:19,980 --> 00:14:21,940 behind every word. 256 00:14:21,940 --> 00:14:23,060 Hallelujah. 257 00:14:23,060 --> 00:14:27,420 I love this blessed book that we have in our homes 258 00:14:27,420 --> 00:14:29,020 and we have in our hearts. 259 00:14:29,020 --> 00:14:33,180 It is the word of the Lord for us today. 260 00:14:33,180 --> 00:14:34,820 Hallelujah. 261 00:14:34,820 --> 00:14:36,460 Praise God. 262 00:14:36,460 --> 00:14:40,420 I, too, am astonished, amazed. 263 00:14:40,420 --> 00:14:45,780 I stand in awe of the authority of the word, the life-giving 264 00:14:45,780 --> 00:14:49,340 power of the word of the living God. 265 00:14:49,340 --> 00:14:50,900 Hallelujah. 266 00:14:50,900 --> 00:14:52,580 Thank you, Lord. 267 00:14:52,580 --> 00:14:57,580 And in particular on this day, Luke gives us an occurrence. 268 00:14:57,580 --> 00:15:00,180 The scripture says that in attendance 269 00:15:00,180 --> 00:15:02,540 that day in the synagogue was a man who 270 00:15:02,540 --> 00:15:05,700 was possessed by a demon spirit. 271 00:15:05,700 --> 00:15:08,220 I thank God that he was there. 272 00:15:08,220 --> 00:15:10,180 Some might say, well, let's just keep 273 00:15:10,180 --> 00:15:12,060 all of those incorrigible people. 274 00:15:12,060 --> 00:15:15,780 Let's keep all of those marginalized, unwanted people 275 00:15:15,780 --> 00:15:16,260 out. 276 00:15:16,260 --> 00:15:17,660 They need Jesus. 277 00:15:17,660 --> 00:15:19,500 We need to get them to Jesus. 278 00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:21,940 We need to take the church to them. 279 00:15:21,940 --> 00:15:26,020 However, how he came that day with someone or by his own, 280 00:15:26,020 --> 00:15:27,220 thank God. 281 00:15:27,220 --> 00:15:31,300 He was in the presence of Jesus. 282 00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:32,900 Praise God. 283 00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:36,580 And the Bible says that that demon began to cry out. 284 00:15:36,580 --> 00:15:40,020 After Jesus had astonished the people with his teaching, 285 00:15:40,020 --> 00:15:42,460 he now turned to that demon-possessed man. 286 00:15:42,460 --> 00:15:46,660 And the Bible says that he rebuked the demon power that 287 00:15:46,660 --> 00:15:47,900 was in him. 288 00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:51,860 And the power was so real that the demon threw the man down 289 00:15:51,860 --> 00:15:54,940 on the floor, but he was not hurt, Luke says. 290 00:15:54,940 --> 00:15:59,620 But the scripture says that the demon came out of the man, 291 00:15:59,620 --> 00:16:04,380 and he was set free at that very moment of time. 292 00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:06,180 Could we just praise God this morning 293 00:16:06,180 --> 00:16:08,780 for his incredible power? 294 00:16:08,780 --> 00:16:11,540 His power is incredible. 295 00:16:11,540 --> 00:16:12,900 Hallelujah. 296 00:16:12,900 --> 00:16:14,380 Thank you, Lord. 297 00:16:14,380 --> 00:16:19,420 And they, once again, were amazed that Jesus could do that. 298 00:16:19,420 --> 00:16:22,780 You're talking about going beyond and advancing 299 00:16:22,780 --> 00:16:23,780 all limits. 300 00:16:23,780 --> 00:16:24,420 Thank God. 301 00:16:24,420 --> 00:16:28,700 That synagogue pastor was advancing beyond all limits. 302 00:16:28,700 --> 00:16:32,300 Would you join with me in prayer during this coming year 303 00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:35,060 that God would so touch our congregation 304 00:16:35,060 --> 00:16:38,180 that we would advance in the power of God 305 00:16:38,180 --> 00:16:40,780 and the power of the Holy Spirit? 306 00:16:40,780 --> 00:16:44,940 Would you pray with me that this is the year that we not set 307 00:16:44,940 --> 00:16:49,420 back and be pushed back, we not set on the sidelines, 308 00:16:49,420 --> 00:16:52,740 but, oh, God, pour your anointing on us 309 00:16:52,740 --> 00:16:57,700 and move us that we might advance in the work of God, 310 00:16:57,700 --> 00:17:03,780 in the spiritual things that God has for us yet to discover? 311 00:17:03,780 --> 00:17:05,420 Praise God. 312 00:17:05,420 --> 00:17:06,980 Thank you, Lord. 313 00:17:06,980 --> 00:17:12,620 Secondly, we see in this wonderful miracle of Jesus 314 00:17:12,620 --> 00:17:16,340 that Jesus went home with Peter. 315 00:17:16,340 --> 00:17:17,900 Praise God. 316 00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:23,500 I'm so glad for this two-verse miracle in the Bible. 317 00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:24,900 It shows us so much. 318 00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:28,620 Jesus went home with Peter. 319 00:17:28,620 --> 00:17:29,860 Thank God. 320 00:17:29,860 --> 00:17:32,900 Jesus, you're always welcome in our homes. 321 00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:35,340 Would you just tell him that this morning? 322 00:17:35,340 --> 00:17:40,180 Jesus, you are always a special guest. 323 00:17:40,180 --> 00:17:44,860 We will honor you in our homes. 324 00:17:44,860 --> 00:17:48,780 I thank God this morning that Peter, a married man, 325 00:17:48,780 --> 00:17:53,460 perhaps even a father, we know that on this particular day, 326 00:17:53,460 --> 00:17:58,380 Peter was not only a future leader among the disciples, 327 00:17:58,380 --> 00:18:01,340 but he was a leader in his home. 328 00:18:01,340 --> 00:18:05,020 Men, let's step up in the name of Jesus 329 00:18:05,020 --> 00:18:10,620 and be the spiritual leaders like Peter in our homes. 330 00:18:10,620 --> 00:18:13,980 I believe the devil has so misguided us 331 00:18:13,980 --> 00:18:18,460 and so misdirected us that men, we think we should be hesitant. 332 00:18:18,460 --> 00:18:22,220 I know every woman and every wife that I've ever counseled, 333 00:18:22,220 --> 00:18:23,700 they have said things to me. 334 00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:27,140 I just wish my husband would lead in prayer. 335 00:18:27,140 --> 00:18:31,540 I wish my husband would be the spiritual authority in our home. 336 00:18:31,540 --> 00:18:34,260 Men, let's follow the model of Peter 337 00:18:34,260 --> 00:18:36,900 and rise up in the name of Jesus 338 00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:40,460 and lead our families in the things of God. 339 00:18:40,460 --> 00:18:41,900 Hallelujah. 340 00:18:41,900 --> 00:18:44,100 Praise God. 341 00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:44,660 Hallelujah. 342 00:18:44,660 --> 00:18:47,060 I don't know that there's any greater ministry we can have 343 00:18:47,060 --> 00:18:48,580 than to do that. 344 00:18:48,580 --> 00:18:50,420 Praise God. 345 00:18:50,420 --> 00:18:53,780 In this miracle of Jesus being in the home, 346 00:18:53,780 --> 00:18:57,940 he not only manifests his presence in the synagogue, 347 00:18:57,940 --> 00:19:01,180 there was not only a miracle in the synagogue, 348 00:19:01,180 --> 00:19:06,380 but there was miracle working power in the home of Peter. 349 00:19:06,380 --> 00:19:07,660 Praise God. 350 00:19:07,660 --> 00:19:11,300 There is a hunger in my heart this morning 351 00:19:11,300 --> 00:19:16,340 for the miracle working presence of Jesus in my marriage 352 00:19:16,340 --> 00:19:17,460 and in my home. 353 00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:19,580 May I say that one more time? 354 00:19:19,580 --> 00:19:22,300 There is a hunger in my heart. 355 00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:24,060 There is an urgent plea, 356 00:19:24,060 --> 00:19:30,620 Lord Jesus, manifest your miraculous power in my home. 357 00:19:30,620 --> 00:19:35,180 I want the presence of Jesus in my home because I want, I need, 358 00:19:35,180 --> 00:19:39,300 I must have, Violet and I must have the presence 359 00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:41,780 of the living God in our home. 360 00:19:41,780 --> 00:19:44,980 I'm talking about the Shekinah glory moments. 361 00:19:44,980 --> 00:19:48,380 I'm talking about the same kind of presence of God 362 00:19:48,380 --> 00:19:51,780 that Moses experienced around the burning bush. 363 00:19:51,780 --> 00:19:55,660 I believe we can have burning bush moments in our homes 364 00:19:55,660 --> 00:19:59,740 when we pray together, when we seek the Lord together, 365 00:19:59,740 --> 00:20:03,460 and the presence of God is manifest 366 00:20:03,460 --> 00:20:05,020 in great and mighty ways. 367 00:20:05,020 --> 00:20:05,980 Hallelujah. 368 00:20:05,980 --> 00:20:06,980 I want that. 369 00:20:06,980 --> 00:20:08,420 Oh, Lord. 370 00:20:08,420 --> 00:20:09,500 I want your presence. 371 00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:13,140 Secondly, I want the provision of God in my home. 372 00:20:13,140 --> 00:20:15,900 God, I want you to provide for all of our needs. 373 00:20:15,900 --> 00:20:18,020 Lord, on this Sunday morning, I say to you, 374 00:20:18,020 --> 00:20:19,900 I'm going to trust you first. 375 00:20:19,900 --> 00:20:22,260 I thank God for the income. 376 00:20:22,260 --> 00:20:25,260 I thank God for the medical care we receive. 377 00:20:25,260 --> 00:20:27,740 I thank God for everything on the list. 378 00:20:27,740 --> 00:20:30,100 But God, I'm going to trust you first. 379 00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:31,500 I'm going to believe you first. 380 00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:34,220 You are Jehovah Jireh. 381 00:20:34,220 --> 00:20:37,660 Just as you provided, we sang a moment ago, 382 00:20:37,660 --> 00:20:42,660 just as you provided, then you are providing now. 383 00:20:42,660 --> 00:20:45,940 I feel led to tell you on this Sunday morning 384 00:20:45,940 --> 00:20:49,940 that what you've been seeking God for is already there. 385 00:20:49,940 --> 00:20:53,060 It's already been provided for. 386 00:20:53,060 --> 00:20:59,980 Release your faith and trust God first for His provision. 387 00:20:59,980 --> 00:21:02,780 Thirdly, I want the protection of God in my home. 388 00:21:02,780 --> 00:21:03,860 Hallelujah. 389 00:21:03,860 --> 00:21:06,100 We're living in the last days, and the writers 390 00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:08,340 of the New Testament said of the last days, 391 00:21:08,340 --> 00:21:11,500 the spirit of Antichrist will be loosed all over the world. 392 00:21:11,500 --> 00:21:13,380 It's in our culture. 393 00:21:13,380 --> 00:21:14,420 It's in our government. 394 00:21:14,420 --> 00:21:19,180 It's in every authoritative institution of our world. 395 00:21:19,180 --> 00:21:23,820 But thanks be unto God, greater is He that is in us 396 00:21:23,820 --> 00:21:25,860 than He that is in the world. 397 00:21:25,860 --> 00:21:26,980 Hallelujah. 398 00:21:26,980 --> 00:21:30,700 I'm not fearful of some demon coming against us 399 00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:34,860 because we have the power, the authority of the Lord Jesus 400 00:21:34,860 --> 00:21:35,740 Christ. 401 00:21:35,740 --> 00:21:38,260 I know that there are some who think, well, tomorrow I'm 402 00:21:38,260 --> 00:21:40,700 going to get up and I'm going to be discouraged 403 00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:43,300 or something bad is going to happen to me. 404 00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:45,980 And there is this attitude of negativity, 405 00:21:45,980 --> 00:21:49,540 and it's almost like we expect bad things to happen. 406 00:21:49,540 --> 00:21:51,980 But I declare to you this morning 407 00:21:51,980 --> 00:21:54,980 that God is in control of every situation. 408 00:21:54,980 --> 00:21:57,820 He's in our homes, and I know that we 409 00:21:57,820 --> 00:22:00,900 can believe that every day is the day of the Lord. 410 00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:03,980 We can lift up our eyes to the heels 411 00:22:03,980 --> 00:22:06,860 from whence cometh our help. 412 00:22:06,860 --> 00:22:11,100 Our help cometh in the name of the Lord. 413 00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,860 Hallelujah. 414 00:22:12,860 --> 00:22:14,780 Praise God. 415 00:22:14,780 --> 00:22:17,180 I want His protection. 416 00:22:17,180 --> 00:22:21,540 I pray every day for our children and their spouses 417 00:22:21,540 --> 00:22:24,140 and our grandchildren, asking God 418 00:22:24,140 --> 00:22:27,500 to put a hedge of protection round about them. 419 00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:32,900 I pray for other friends, children, and families 420 00:22:32,900 --> 00:22:36,380 that are on my prayer list and people that I meet. 421 00:22:36,380 --> 00:22:39,580 Sometimes I bump into strangers, and I'll just 422 00:22:39,580 --> 00:22:41,740 feel a nudge of the Spirit. 423 00:22:41,740 --> 00:22:43,260 Pray for that person. 424 00:22:43,260 --> 00:22:44,980 Pray for that person. 425 00:22:44,980 --> 00:22:48,660 I want to tell you this morning, God wants to protect your home. 426 00:22:48,660 --> 00:22:50,620 He wants to protect your marriage. 427 00:22:50,620 --> 00:22:52,740 He wants to protect your children. 428 00:22:52,740 --> 00:22:54,820 He wants to protect your grandchildren, 429 00:22:54,820 --> 00:22:56,340 your great grandchildren. 430 00:22:56,340 --> 00:22:58,380 He wants to protect this church. 431 00:22:58,380 --> 00:22:59,980 May I say that again? 432 00:22:59,980 --> 00:23:03,500 There is a wall of Holy Ghost protection round about us 433 00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:04,380 this morning. 434 00:23:04,380 --> 00:23:06,780 Could we just lift up our hands and yield 435 00:23:06,780 --> 00:23:10,540 to the Holy Spirit's blessed touch around us today? 436 00:23:10,540 --> 00:23:14,460 Father, let us be aware of your presence 437 00:23:14,460 --> 00:23:18,420 that protects us today in Jesus' name. 438 00:23:18,420 --> 00:23:20,380 I want the peace of God in our homes, 439 00:23:20,380 --> 00:23:24,620 just as Jesus brought peace into the home of Peter. 440 00:23:24,620 --> 00:23:26,860 Jesus, would you step through the front door 441 00:23:26,860 --> 00:23:29,140 through the Holy Spirit of my home? 442 00:23:29,140 --> 00:23:31,620 And would you just fill every room with your peace? 443 00:23:31,620 --> 00:23:32,820 Praise God. 444 00:23:32,820 --> 00:23:35,060 It's a peace that goes beyond this world. 445 00:23:35,060 --> 00:23:38,020 It's a peace that passes all understanding, 446 00:23:38,020 --> 00:23:41,460 and it will keep and guard our hearts and minds. 447 00:23:41,460 --> 00:23:45,860 Thank God for the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ. 448 00:23:45,860 --> 00:23:48,060 And lastly, as I've already mentioned, 449 00:23:48,060 --> 00:23:51,700 I want the power of God every day in my marriage 450 00:23:51,700 --> 00:23:52,900 and in my home. 451 00:23:52,900 --> 00:23:56,660 May I declare over you, may the power of God, 452 00:23:56,660 --> 00:24:02,860 may the awesome power of God be overshadowing your home 453 00:24:02,860 --> 00:24:06,260 every day of our lives in Jesus' name. 454 00:24:06,260 --> 00:24:08,460 Hallelujah. 455 00:24:08,460 --> 00:24:10,780 As we look at this miracle in verse 38b, 456 00:24:10,780 --> 00:24:13,880 the Bible says that upon entering the home, 457 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,980 immediately there was this urgent plea for help to Jesus. 458 00:24:17,980 --> 00:24:21,260 Can we thank God for prayer this morning? 459 00:24:21,260 --> 00:24:23,540 This is a form of prayer. 460 00:24:23,540 --> 00:24:27,140 Whoever it was, it could have been Peter's wife, 461 00:24:27,140 --> 00:24:30,380 maybe one of the other women present there. 462 00:24:30,380 --> 00:24:37,740 But someone urgently requested that Jesus give attention 463 00:24:37,740 --> 00:24:39,900 to Mary, to Peter's mother. 464 00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:43,660 We don't really know her name, but to his mother-in-law. 465 00:24:43,660 --> 00:24:50,780 And the Bible says that they requested him on her behalf. 466 00:24:50,780 --> 00:24:55,260 Prayer should always be welcome in our home. 467 00:24:55,260 --> 00:24:57,980 Jesus just stopped everything he was doing. 468 00:24:57,980 --> 00:25:02,380 I believe they were really going there to eat and rest. 469 00:25:02,380 --> 00:25:06,460 But they stopped everything that they could call upon the name 470 00:25:06,460 --> 00:25:11,180 of the Lord, that they could invite the touch of Jesus 471 00:25:11,180 --> 00:25:13,540 upon Peter's mother-in-law. 472 00:25:13,540 --> 00:25:14,540 Thank God. 473 00:25:14,540 --> 00:25:16,700 What a model that is for us. 474 00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:22,340 Oh, Holy Spirit, help us to not be so busy that we can't stop 475 00:25:22,340 --> 00:25:27,940 in our tracks and call upon the name of Jesus 476 00:25:27,940 --> 00:25:29,900 in our hour of need. 477 00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:32,340 Hallelujah. 478 00:25:32,340 --> 00:25:34,380 Oh, praise God. 479 00:25:34,380 --> 00:25:40,100 And the Bible says that Jesus immediately walked over to her. 480 00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:45,340 The third point in this miracle is that there was a great healing 481 00:25:45,340 --> 00:25:51,300 in the home of Peter and his wife and his mother-in-law. 482 00:25:51,300 --> 00:25:54,740 The same manifestation of the synagogue 483 00:25:54,740 --> 00:25:59,220 was now happening in the home of Peter. 484 00:25:59,220 --> 00:26:03,300 And Luke says that she had a high fever. 485 00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:09,340 Literally, the Greek word means that she had a great fever. 486 00:26:09,340 --> 00:26:12,540 It was possibly something that was even 487 00:26:12,540 --> 00:26:15,540 moving towards a life-threatening situation. 488 00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:19,860 But even if it was just an everyday, ordinary fever, 489 00:26:19,860 --> 00:26:23,140 it shows us that Jesus can handle the big things 490 00:26:23,140 --> 00:26:25,020 like a demon-possessed man. 491 00:26:25,020 --> 00:26:27,340 And he can take care of the small things, 492 00:26:27,340 --> 00:26:30,500 the insignificant things that we might categorize them 493 00:26:30,500 --> 00:26:31,860 like a fever. 494 00:26:31,860 --> 00:26:33,020 Thank God. 495 00:26:33,020 --> 00:26:36,660 He's Lord over the great, and He's Lord over the little. 496 00:26:36,660 --> 00:26:39,300 It does not matter what the need is. 497 00:26:39,300 --> 00:26:43,460 His incredible power can take care of it all. 498 00:26:43,460 --> 00:26:45,100 Hallelujah. 499 00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:46,660 Thank you, Lord. 500 00:26:46,660 --> 00:26:49,580 And just as Jesus had rebuked the demon, 501 00:26:49,580 --> 00:26:53,780 just as He had rebuked the stormy winds on the Sea of Galilee, 502 00:26:53,780 --> 00:26:57,980 He one more time rebukes this disease, this illness, whatever 503 00:26:57,980 --> 00:26:59,780 was causing this fever. 504 00:26:59,780 --> 00:27:01,940 The word rebuked is really a good word. 505 00:27:01,940 --> 00:27:04,180 It literally means to stop. 506 00:27:04,180 --> 00:27:07,460 Jesus said, fever, I want you to stop. 507 00:27:07,460 --> 00:27:09,700 I want you to stop right now. 508 00:27:09,700 --> 00:27:12,420 I want Peter's mother-in-law, whatever her name was, 509 00:27:12,420 --> 00:27:13,740 to become normal. 510 00:27:13,740 --> 00:27:17,260 Oh, Jesus, I want you to say stop to some things. 511 00:27:17,260 --> 00:27:20,020 I want you to rebuke some challenges. 512 00:27:20,020 --> 00:27:23,180 I want you to rebuke some harassing problems. 513 00:27:23,180 --> 00:27:27,220 I want you to raise up a wall of power in my home 514 00:27:27,220 --> 00:27:31,100 and rebuke that which pulls us down. 515 00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:32,700 Oh, praise God. 516 00:27:32,700 --> 00:27:34,820 Would you do some spiritual warfare with me here 517 00:27:34,820 --> 00:27:36,020 this morning? 518 00:27:36,020 --> 00:27:38,380 Just lift up a hand to the Lord. 519 00:27:38,380 --> 00:27:40,780 If there's anything going on in your life that's 520 00:27:40,780 --> 00:27:43,820 a spiritual harassment right now, 521 00:27:43,820 --> 00:27:46,460 if you're troubled in any way, come on, church. 522 00:27:46,460 --> 00:27:47,580 Let's just rebuke it. 523 00:27:47,580 --> 00:27:50,700 Lord, we take authority in this sanctuary 524 00:27:50,700 --> 00:27:55,580 today over any problem, over any discouragement, anything 525 00:27:55,580 --> 00:27:57,140 that's hindering us. 526 00:27:57,140 --> 00:28:00,340 We rebuke it in the name of Jesus. 527 00:28:00,340 --> 00:28:03,540 And everybody said, praise the Lord. 528 00:28:03,540 --> 00:28:04,220 Hallelujah. 529 00:28:04,220 --> 00:28:06,620 I believe in the power of Jesus. 530 00:28:06,620 --> 00:28:07,220 Praise God. 531 00:28:07,220 --> 00:28:12,660 You see, a fever that's left unattended 532 00:28:12,660 --> 00:28:15,420 can have serious repercussions. 533 00:28:15,420 --> 00:28:18,180 Fevers are serious business. 534 00:28:18,180 --> 00:28:20,820 There have been times in our parenting, 535 00:28:20,820 --> 00:28:23,900 as I'm sure every parent here knows about, 536 00:28:23,900 --> 00:28:25,660 when one of our children would awaken 537 00:28:25,660 --> 00:28:28,180 in the middle of the night with a fever, 538 00:28:28,180 --> 00:28:31,860 and you immediately begin to pray and go get the baby 539 00:28:31,860 --> 00:28:34,060 aspirin or the Tylenol. 540 00:28:34,060 --> 00:28:37,300 And if it wasn't better or the cold rag on the head, 541 00:28:37,300 --> 00:28:39,340 and my favorite is ginger ale. 542 00:28:39,340 --> 00:28:39,940 I'm sorry. 543 00:28:39,940 --> 00:28:41,260 I'm one of those old school, I've 544 00:28:41,260 --> 00:28:43,820 got to have my ginger ale if I get sick. 545 00:28:43,820 --> 00:28:45,780 And in the morning, if the fever's still there, 546 00:28:45,780 --> 00:28:49,500 you call the doctor, because a fever unattended 547 00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:52,860 can lead to serious consequences. 548 00:28:52,860 --> 00:28:56,340 Fevers are an indication that there's something 549 00:28:56,340 --> 00:28:58,660 wrong on the inside. 550 00:28:58,660 --> 00:29:00,060 It could be an infection. 551 00:29:00,060 --> 00:29:03,220 There's something causing this fever. 552 00:29:03,220 --> 00:29:06,700 I believe this morning that our homes, our marriages, 553 00:29:06,700 --> 00:29:09,740 are beset with fevers. 554 00:29:09,740 --> 00:29:13,060 Some of them literally have become an epidemic 555 00:29:13,060 --> 00:29:15,540 raging throughout the world. 556 00:29:15,540 --> 00:29:18,460 There's first of all, the spiritual fever 557 00:29:18,460 --> 00:29:21,540 of restlessness and discontentment 558 00:29:21,540 --> 00:29:25,420 in the Christian world and in our homes today. 559 00:29:25,420 --> 00:29:27,580 There are many believers today that just, 560 00:29:27,580 --> 00:29:30,140 I'm not saying that would be your home, 561 00:29:30,140 --> 00:29:31,940 but there are many believers that I've 562 00:29:31,940 --> 00:29:34,860 known over the years who just could never really 563 00:29:34,860 --> 00:29:40,420 find the rest and the peace and the contentment 564 00:29:40,420 --> 00:29:44,020 and that faith to hang on to Jesus. 565 00:29:44,020 --> 00:29:46,540 There was this sense of worry, and there 566 00:29:46,540 --> 00:29:50,180 was this sense of anxiety. 567 00:29:50,180 --> 00:29:51,740 We pastored one lady one time. 568 00:29:51,740 --> 00:29:54,940 I think she thought anxiety was a gift of the spirit. 569 00:29:54,940 --> 00:29:58,140 She was worried about this, and she was worried about that. 570 00:29:58,140 --> 00:30:00,500 But I tell you on this Sunday morning 571 00:30:00,500 --> 00:30:03,300 that when we let Jesus Christ come into our homes 572 00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:05,180 and into our lives, He's the one that 573 00:30:05,180 --> 00:30:07,100 can give us peace in the storm. 574 00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:09,580 He's the one that gives us personal contentment. 575 00:30:09,580 --> 00:30:10,620 Hallelujah. 576 00:30:10,620 --> 00:30:14,340 The Bible says, as the apostle Paul was exhorting people, 577 00:30:14,340 --> 00:30:16,580 he just said, be content. 578 00:30:16,580 --> 00:30:19,540 God has a way of bringing contentment into our lives. 579 00:30:19,540 --> 00:30:23,380 Paul said, but godliness, godliness with contentment 580 00:30:23,380 --> 00:30:25,020 is great gain. 581 00:30:25,020 --> 00:30:26,100 Hallelujah. 582 00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:29,140 Would you just reach out to the Lord this morning 583 00:30:29,140 --> 00:30:32,500 and fill your soul with the contentment 584 00:30:32,500 --> 00:30:36,820 that the Holy Spirit gives on this Sunday morning? 585 00:30:36,820 --> 00:30:38,500 Hallelujah. 586 00:30:38,500 --> 00:30:40,100 Praise God. 587 00:30:40,100 --> 00:30:43,660 To the Philippians, Paul said, I know how to be brought low, 588 00:30:43,660 --> 00:30:46,860 and I know how to abound. 589 00:30:46,860 --> 00:30:49,180 I've been low, and I've been high. 590 00:30:49,180 --> 00:30:51,900 But he said, in any and every situation, 591 00:30:51,900 --> 00:30:56,780 I've learned the secret of in times of plenty, 592 00:30:56,780 --> 00:31:01,100 in times of being forsaken, I've learned to be content. 593 00:31:01,100 --> 00:31:02,340 Praise God. 594 00:31:02,340 --> 00:31:04,780 And I love what he followed up with that verse. 595 00:31:04,780 --> 00:31:08,180 He said, I can do all things through Christ. 596 00:31:08,180 --> 00:31:11,220 I can do all things through Christ. 597 00:31:11,220 --> 00:31:16,140 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. 598 00:31:16,140 --> 00:31:18,660 As one person said, there's nothing 599 00:31:18,660 --> 00:31:22,700 going to come up today that God and I cannot handle. 600 00:31:22,700 --> 00:31:23,700 Hallelujah. 601 00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:29,100 He assures us today that we can do all things through Him. 602 00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:30,260 Hallelujah. 603 00:31:30,260 --> 00:31:33,940 The second fever that might be raging around us 604 00:31:33,940 --> 00:31:39,180 is the fever of this thirsting for temporal things. 605 00:31:39,180 --> 00:31:41,660 Fevers can make us thirsty. 606 00:31:41,660 --> 00:31:46,060 You crave water when you're coming out of or dealing 607 00:31:46,060 --> 00:31:48,340 with a fever. 608 00:31:48,340 --> 00:31:51,620 It's amazing to me how believers today are not always 609 00:31:51,620 --> 00:31:54,220 satisfied with the things of God. 610 00:31:54,220 --> 00:31:58,020 It's like we've got to have another material possession. 611 00:31:58,020 --> 00:31:59,460 We've got to have another thing. 612 00:31:59,460 --> 00:32:01,100 I'm not against having things. 613 00:32:01,100 --> 00:32:02,860 I just don't want them to own me. 614 00:32:02,860 --> 00:32:04,860 I don't want them to possess me. 615 00:32:04,860 --> 00:32:06,380 It's OK for you to have stuff. 616 00:32:06,380 --> 00:32:09,460 Just don't let stuff ruin and ruin your soul. 617 00:32:09,460 --> 00:32:10,660 Thank God. 618 00:32:10,660 --> 00:32:14,420 Thank God that Jesus makes the soul happy. 619 00:32:14,420 --> 00:32:16,300 He makes the soul joyful. 620 00:32:16,300 --> 00:32:18,740 He fills us with His love, His peace. 621 00:32:18,740 --> 00:32:21,100 And we are content in Him. 622 00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:22,820 Hallelujah. 623 00:32:22,820 --> 00:32:24,420 Praise God. 624 00:32:24,420 --> 00:32:30,060 John, 1 John chapter 2, he said, love not the world. 625 00:32:30,060 --> 00:32:32,140 That's not an option for me. 626 00:32:32,140 --> 00:32:36,300 John said, Milton Carter, don't love the world. 627 00:32:36,300 --> 00:32:38,580 Neither the things that are in the world for all 628 00:32:38,580 --> 00:32:40,020 that is in the world. 629 00:32:40,020 --> 00:32:43,420 He describes it as not of God. 630 00:32:43,420 --> 00:32:46,500 It could bring serious harm to me. 631 00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:47,700 And I love what Paul said. 632 00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:50,060 He said, set your thing, your affections. 633 00:32:50,060 --> 00:32:52,860 Set your heart, your love, your affections 634 00:32:52,860 --> 00:32:57,460 on things that are above in Jesus' name, 635 00:32:57,460 --> 00:33:01,700 not on things of the earth, for you are dead 636 00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:04,340 and your life is hid with Christ. 637 00:33:04,340 --> 00:33:07,780 Sometimes when a fever strikes us, 638 00:33:07,780 --> 00:33:11,980 nothing seems to taste good. 639 00:33:11,980 --> 00:33:16,100 And in this 21st century, it's possible to get so caught up 640 00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:17,860 in what's going on in the world. 641 00:33:17,860 --> 00:33:21,100 And I've got to have this and I've got to have that 642 00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:24,100 that we don't realize how good we really have it. 643 00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:28,140 We don't realize sometimes just how good we really have it. 644 00:33:28,140 --> 00:33:32,380 Can I tell you this morning that we are saved by the power, 645 00:33:32,380 --> 00:33:33,540 the blood of Jesus? 646 00:33:33,540 --> 00:33:36,580 Can I tell you this morning that your name 647 00:33:36,580 --> 00:33:39,860 is written in the Lamb's Book of Life? 648 00:33:39,860 --> 00:33:41,180 Hallelujah. 649 00:33:41,180 --> 00:33:43,980 Can I tell you this morning that there 650 00:33:43,980 --> 00:33:49,380 is a promise of God in this blessed Book for every challenge 651 00:33:49,380 --> 00:33:50,700 that you face? 652 00:33:50,700 --> 00:33:54,140 There is a promise in the Book for everything 653 00:33:54,140 --> 00:33:56,820 that knocks on your door this morning. 654 00:33:56,820 --> 00:33:58,980 I am blessed in the morning. 655 00:33:58,980 --> 00:34:01,180 I am blessed at noontime. 656 00:34:01,180 --> 00:34:06,980 And when I lay my head to rest, I am blessed, blessed, blessed. 657 00:34:06,980 --> 00:34:08,140 Praise God. 658 00:34:08,140 --> 00:34:11,140 I'm blessed wherever I go, whatever I do. 659 00:34:11,140 --> 00:34:12,860 It doesn't matter what's going on. 660 00:34:12,860 --> 00:34:18,820 We have the blessing of the Lord and it maketh us rich. 661 00:34:18,820 --> 00:34:22,340 Somebody praise God in this house today. 662 00:34:22,340 --> 00:34:24,220 Praise God. 663 00:34:24,220 --> 00:34:27,060 And I just want to rebuke that fever that's 664 00:34:27,060 --> 00:34:29,460 raging in our culture today. 665 00:34:29,460 --> 00:34:31,980 And I want to say fever, stop. 666 00:34:31,980 --> 00:34:35,820 I don't have to be satisfied by the world any longer. 667 00:34:35,820 --> 00:34:37,660 I don't need another gimmick. 668 00:34:37,660 --> 00:34:40,660 I don't need another program on my computer. 669 00:34:40,660 --> 00:34:42,140 I don't need another gadget. 670 00:34:42,140 --> 00:34:45,540 And I have Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. 671 00:34:45,540 --> 00:34:49,660 Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. 672 00:34:49,660 --> 00:34:56,340 Would you praise God today that Jesus Christ is in your home 673 00:34:56,340 --> 00:34:57,660 and in your life? 674 00:34:57,660 --> 00:34:59,580 Hallelujah. 675 00:34:59,580 --> 00:35:01,980 Praise God. 676 00:35:01,980 --> 00:35:05,100 Sometimes it can be difficult to be around a person who 677 00:35:05,100 --> 00:35:07,140 has a fever. 678 00:35:07,140 --> 00:35:09,500 Fevers can make us irritable. 679 00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:12,060 We're not really ourself at all. 680 00:35:12,060 --> 00:35:14,180 And I just want to tell you this morning, if things haven't 681 00:35:14,180 --> 00:35:16,380 been going so good for you lately, 682 00:35:16,380 --> 00:35:19,460 it could be some fever, spiritual fever. 683 00:35:19,460 --> 00:35:21,940 Would you just receive the power of Jesus 684 00:35:21,940 --> 00:35:23,420 on this Sunday morning? 685 00:35:23,420 --> 00:35:26,060 Don't wait another day and let the power 686 00:35:26,060 --> 00:35:30,180 and the presence of Jesus rebuke whatever that hindrance is 687 00:35:30,180 --> 00:35:32,180 and give you his peace. 688 00:35:32,180 --> 00:35:33,820 Hallelujah. 689 00:35:33,820 --> 00:35:35,820 Oh, praise God. 690 00:35:35,820 --> 00:35:38,180 Irritability is not a fruit of the spirit. 691 00:35:38,180 --> 00:35:41,260 Can I just remind us of that this morning? 692 00:35:41,260 --> 00:35:44,860 It's the power of Jesus that helps us to enjoy life. 693 00:35:44,860 --> 00:35:45,780 Let me say it again. 694 00:35:45,780 --> 00:35:47,580 When Jesus is in our homes, I believe 695 00:35:47,580 --> 00:35:49,700 that we can have an abundant life. 696 00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:51,940 I said we can have an abundant life. 697 00:35:51,940 --> 00:35:54,420 Jesus said, I am come that you might have life 698 00:35:54,420 --> 00:35:56,540 and you might have it more abundantly. 699 00:35:56,540 --> 00:35:58,900 That means that we're going to have more peace than we've 700 00:35:58,900 --> 00:36:00,700 ever had, more love than we've ever had. 701 00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:01,540 Hallelujah. 702 00:36:01,540 --> 00:36:03,460 He hears and answers my prayers. 703 00:36:03,460 --> 00:36:04,940 That's huge this morning. 704 00:36:04,940 --> 00:36:06,100 Praise God. 705 00:36:06,100 --> 00:36:08,900 He helps us to live an overcoming life. 706 00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:09,860 Hallelujah. 707 00:36:09,860 --> 00:36:12,700 Through him, we are more than overcomers. 708 00:36:12,700 --> 00:36:13,660 Hallelujah. 709 00:36:13,660 --> 00:36:15,780 Praise God, church. 710 00:36:15,780 --> 00:36:19,260 We are blessed this morning. 711 00:36:19,260 --> 00:36:22,020 Thank you, Lord. 712 00:36:22,020 --> 00:36:25,860 Number four lesson in this great miracle 713 00:36:25,860 --> 00:36:28,620 is what Dr. Luke says, and he says it alone. 714 00:36:28,620 --> 00:36:32,740 Matthew and Mark record this miracle differently. 715 00:36:32,740 --> 00:36:34,260 It's not that anybody was wrong. 716 00:36:34,260 --> 00:36:38,460 We need all three versions of this miracle. 717 00:36:38,460 --> 00:36:42,500 But because Luke was a physician of the day, 718 00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:44,780 he gave special insight. 719 00:36:44,780 --> 00:36:48,940 He says that Jesus walked over to where 720 00:36:48,940 --> 00:36:55,260 Peter's mother-in-law lay, and he stood over her. 721 00:36:55,260 --> 00:36:57,700 That is very significant. 722 00:36:57,700 --> 00:36:59,380 Matthew says he touched her hand. 723 00:36:59,380 --> 00:37:01,620 Thank you, Matthew, for that. 724 00:37:01,620 --> 00:37:04,100 And Mark says that he just simply took her by the hand 725 00:37:04,100 --> 00:37:05,580 and lifted up. 726 00:37:05,580 --> 00:37:07,700 But I believe before he ever lifted her up, 727 00:37:07,700 --> 00:37:12,660 before he ever touched her, he stood over her. 728 00:37:12,660 --> 00:37:15,700 That was a way of saying, I've got this, mother-in-law, 729 00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:16,620 with Peter. 730 00:37:16,620 --> 00:37:20,580 That was a way of saying, my authority is over you. 731 00:37:20,580 --> 00:37:24,140 That was a way of saying, I know what's going on in your life. 732 00:37:24,140 --> 00:37:29,260 Oh, Lord Jesus, would you stand over my marriage? 733 00:37:29,260 --> 00:37:32,460 Would you stand over my home? 734 00:37:32,460 --> 00:37:35,300 Would you stand over my church? 735 00:37:35,300 --> 00:37:38,580 Would you stand over my children, Jesus? 736 00:37:38,580 --> 00:37:41,500 Would you stand over my grandchildren? 737 00:37:41,500 --> 00:37:44,180 If you've got a wayward son or a daughter today, 738 00:37:44,180 --> 00:37:46,620 send Jesus through the Holy Spirit 739 00:37:46,620 --> 00:37:50,860 to stand over them right now in the name of Jesus. 740 00:37:50,860 --> 00:37:51,940 Praise God. 741 00:37:51,940 --> 00:37:53,780 Oh, I feel God doing that. 742 00:37:53,780 --> 00:37:56,460 Would you give God some praise right now? 743 00:37:56,460 --> 00:38:01,540 There's something happening in the spirit world right now. 744 00:38:01,540 --> 00:38:03,740 Oh, praise God. 745 00:38:03,740 --> 00:38:06,300 Can we just give him a wave offering of praise 746 00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:08,100 here this morning? 747 00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:11,020 Would you just kind of loosen up in the spirit world 748 00:38:11,020 --> 00:38:15,460 and let the Holy Ghost minister to you this morning? 749 00:38:15,460 --> 00:38:17,460 Oh, praise God. 750 00:38:17,460 --> 00:38:19,900 In the name of Jesus. 751 00:38:19,900 --> 00:38:20,700 Praise God. 752 00:38:20,700 --> 00:38:23,860 He stood over her during the past 40 years. 753 00:38:23,860 --> 00:38:26,420 Violet and I have been blessed to live 754 00:38:26,420 --> 00:38:27,620 in five different states. 755 00:38:30,460 --> 00:38:32,220 During that time, I've had at least five 756 00:38:32,220 --> 00:38:37,420 different primary care doctors and some specialists. 757 00:38:37,420 --> 00:38:39,820 I thank God for all of them. 758 00:38:39,820 --> 00:38:44,980 Some of these men and women were well trained. 759 00:38:44,980 --> 00:38:48,820 In fact, I should say all of them were, at least all but one 760 00:38:48,820 --> 00:38:50,580 that I know of. 761 00:38:50,580 --> 00:38:53,260 They were all well-educated people. 762 00:38:53,260 --> 00:38:56,460 Some of them were persons of faith, some were not. 763 00:38:56,460 --> 00:38:59,980 But when I go to the physician's office, 764 00:38:59,980 --> 00:39:03,100 I really don't look at what's on the diploma hanging 765 00:39:03,100 --> 00:39:03,780 on the wall. 766 00:39:03,780 --> 00:39:06,420 I'm just glad there's one there. 767 00:39:06,420 --> 00:39:10,660 But what I really like is a physician who will kind 768 00:39:10,660 --> 00:39:14,220 of stand over me, who will at least know that I'm not 769 00:39:14,220 --> 00:39:16,780 just another number. 770 00:39:16,780 --> 00:39:20,580 I'm not just another one of the 35 patients 771 00:39:20,580 --> 00:39:22,500 that the insurance companies mandate 772 00:39:22,500 --> 00:39:24,580 that he or she's got to see. 773 00:39:24,580 --> 00:39:27,620 But I like those physicians who shake my hand 774 00:39:27,620 --> 00:39:31,900 and they take time to listen to me. 775 00:39:31,900 --> 00:39:34,380 And they diagnose me. 776 00:39:34,380 --> 00:39:39,260 And they find out what I've been doing and what's been going on. 777 00:39:39,260 --> 00:39:40,780 I'm not real happy with those. 778 00:39:40,780 --> 00:39:44,820 Just brush off and we'll see you next time, Carter. 779 00:39:44,820 --> 00:39:48,540 I like those doctors that really try to find out what's going on. 780 00:39:48,540 --> 00:39:50,180 You know where I'm going. 781 00:39:50,180 --> 00:39:52,700 The one who stands over to your soul this morning 782 00:39:52,700 --> 00:39:54,580 knows what's going on. 783 00:39:54,580 --> 00:39:57,300 I want to tell you this morning that you are loved immensely 784 00:39:57,300 -->
