Sermon Note
Pastor Judah Smith
Resting in His grace delay your aging process.
Have you ever felt a million mile away from God?
U come to church because u are expecting something good from God, not because you feel bad
If you are a feeler, u feel before u speak
You have those moments you don’t feel that close to God. You probably support it by saying all the things you did
Proximity seems to drive out fear
I just need to know God, You are not far.
Feeling are deceiving.
Your heart constantly tell you your performance determine your distance between you and God
God’s eyes is on sparrow. How much more?
If you are convinced that God is near you, facing you, what you experience will be different.
Even in the midst of anxiety, when you know God is near you and for you, you will not fear because God is with you.
I fear no evil for You are with me.
He is big, powerful and strong and He is with me
He is with you, you will go through and go past and from glory to glory!
12 is the number of divine government
11 is the number of confusion
10 is the number of law
Jesus is totally in control.
God is the God over death
Sin does slow bleeding to death
God is the God over death and sin
Number 12
Sin is sneaky.
The woman sneaked into the city to look for Jesus. She wanted to touch the clothes Jesus wear, and that would save her life
Jesus stopped and asked, who touched Me
Even when you are sneaky, Jesus makes sure you are touchable
Luke 8:45-47
And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”
When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.” Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.
We think we must hide things from God. Jesus is touchable.
His ways are higher than our ways. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. He is merciful.
God is not far. God is not hard to reach. He is a loving Father.
You are My daughter. You are My bride
I will separate you from your sin.
Your faith has made you well.
It was Me moving you towards Me
You are whole! Not that you need to be perfect.
Jesus said “who touched Me”
He wanted the woman to know she did not just get her healing. She got Him.
She is forgiven and healed.
The Lord is the treasure.
You have Me. You have My company. You have My care
His eyes are ever on you! He loves you. He is closer than your next breath!
No matter what you are going through, He is with you, surrounding you, and He loves you!
Nothing is more beautiful than You
You have ALL the attention now!
You are the living water! You are not a far far Father.
