10
00:00:47,739 –> 00:00:57,420
Speaker 2: In Matthew chapter 9, Jesus performs a miraculous healing by casting a demon from a man who could not speak.
11
00:00:58,579 –> 00:01:00,739
Speaker 2: His ability to communicate.
12
00:01:00,739 –> 00:01:09,780
Speaker 2: This short but powerful passage emphasizes not only Christ’s authority over spiritual forces.
13
00:01:10,020 –> 00:01:14,979
Speaker 2: but also the varying reactions people have toward God’s work.
14
00:01:14,979 –> 00:01:21,780
Speaker 2: This miracle invites us to reflect on Christ’s power over the physical and spiritual realms.
15
00:01:22,180 –> 00:01:30,259
Speaker 2: how people respond to God’s works and the importance of faith.
16
00:01:30,259 –> 00:01:33,619
Speaker 2: As we do each week, let’s open up with a prayer.
17
00:01:34,880 –> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: Heavenly Father, we thank you for your power and mercy, which heal not only our bodies, but also our souls
18
00:01:44,020 –> 00:01:48,180
Speaker 2: Open our hearts to understand your word today.
19
00:01:48,180 –> 00:01:56,500
Speaker 2: Help us to recognize your work in our lives and respond with gratitude and with faith.
20
00:01:56,780 –> 00:02:05,580
Speaker 2: Remove any doubts or hardened thoughts within us, so that we may embrace your truth.
21
00:02:05,580 –> 00:02:07,580
Speaker 2: In Jesus’ name we pray.
22
00:02:07,580 –> 00:02:08,540
Speaker 2: Amen.
23
00:02:15,800 –> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: Matthew chapter nine verses thirty-two through thirty-four.
24
00:02:20,440 –> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: Now, as they were going out, behold, a demon possessed.
25
00:02:24,320 –> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: man who was unable to speak was brought to him.
26
00:02:27,440 –> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: And after the demon was cast out, the man who was previously unable to speak talked.
27
00:02:33,120 –> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: And the crowds were amazed and were saying, Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.
28
00:02:39,240 –> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: But the Pharisees were saying he casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.
29
00:02:46,600 –> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: In this passage, a man afflicted by both a spiritual and physical condition, demonic.
30
00:02:54,400 –> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: possession and the inability to speak is brought to Jesus.
31
00:02:58,720 –> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: This reflects the compassion of those who cared enough to bring him to Christ.
32
00:03:05,360 –> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: Their actions remind us that when people are spiritually or physically bound, it may require others to help them encounter Jesus
33
00:03:17,420 –> 00:03:25,100
Speaker 2: Jesus immediately acts by casting out the demon, and the man’s ability to speak is restored.
34
00:03:25,240 –> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: The healing is instantaneous, showing the absolute authority of Christ over spiritual forces.
35
00:03:33,640 –> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: This reinforces the truth that nothing is too difficult for Jesus, whether it is spiritual bondage or physical infirmity
36
00:03:42,520 –> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: The response from the crowd is awe and wonder.
37
00:03:46,280 –> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: They recognize that something extraordinary has occurred, admitting that such miracles have not been seen before in Israel
38
00:03:54,420 –> 00:04:06,500
Speaker 2: This amazement underscores the uniqueness of Jesus’ ministry, which revealed the power and compassion of God in ways previously unimaginable.
39
00:04:07,080 –> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: In stark contrast, the Pharisees respond with hostility and skepticism.
40
00:04:13,080 –> 00:04:19,959
Speaker 2: Rather than celebrating the miracle, they accuse Jesus of working through the power of Satan
41
00:04:20,220 –> 00:04:28,220
Speaker 2: This accusation highlights the hardness of their hearts as they refuse to acknowledge God’s work through Christ.
42
00:04:28,320 –> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: Their rejection reflects a theme found throughout the Gospels.
43
00:04:33,200 –> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: Spiritual blindness can prevent people from recognizing God’s truth, even when it is right before them.
44
00:04:41,120 –> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 2: This account encourages us to examine our own responses to God’s work.
45
00:04:47,919 –> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: Do we, like the crowd, marvel at his goodness, or do we
46
00:04:53,840 –> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 2: like the Pharisees, resist his power due to pride or doubt.
47
00:05:00,080 –> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: This passage challenges us to have hearts that are open to seeing God’s hand in our lives, and to respond with faith,
48
00:05:08,699 –> 00:05:12,620
Speaker 2: rather than suspicion.
49
00:05:12,620 –> 00:05:16,060
Speaker 2: We have five key takeaways from this passage of scripture
50
00:05:16,800 –> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: Our first is that Jesus has complete authority over both spiritual forces and physical infirmities.
51
00:05:22,960 –> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: In this scripture, Jesus demonstrates his unmatched power.
52
00:05:26,960 –> 00:05:33,759
Speaker 2: by not only healing the man’s speech, but also by casting out the demon that was binding him.
53
00:05:33,759 –> 00:05:34,879
Speaker 2: This shows that
54
00:05:35,160 –> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 2: Christ’s authority extends across both the physical and the spiritual realms, leaving no area beyond his reach.
55
00:05:43,720 –> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: No matter how severe the condition, Jesus can bring healing and restoration.
56
00:05:49,520 –> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: His actions invite us to trust that God is sovereign over every challenge we face, whether seen or unseen
57
00:05:58,320 –> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: Knowing this, we can have confidence that his power is greater than any struggle or opposition in our lives
58
00:06:07,140 –> 00:06:15,380
Speaker 2: Our second takeaway is that miracles require faith, either from the individual in need or from those around them.
59
00:06:15,960 –> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: The man in this scripture could not bring himself to Jesus.
60
00:06:20,360 –> 00:06:24,759
Speaker 2: It was the faith and the effort of others that brought him to the healing
61
00:06:24,940 –> 00:06:30,940
Speaker 2: This highlights the importance of intercession and community in experiencing God’s miracles.
62
00:06:30,940 –> 00:06:39,660
Speaker 2: Sometimes we need others to stand in the gap for us through prayer or action, just as we are called to do the same for others.
63
00:06:39,760 –> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: Faith in God’s power can create opportunities for his intervention in seemingly impossible situations.
64
00:06:47,440 –> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: Even when people cannot express their faith themselves, God honors the faith of those who bring others into his presence.
65
00:06:58,259 –> 00:07:06,259
Speaker 2: Our third takeaway is that God’s power often surprises and amazes, but not everyone will respond with faith
66
00:07:07,660 –> 00:07:14,860
Speaker 2: The crowd marveled at this miracle, recognizing that such power had never been seen before in Israel
67
00:07:14,940 –> 00:07:22,860
Speaker 2: However, the Pharisees dismissed it, showing that even witnessing a miracle does not guarantee faith
68
00:07:23,120 –> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: People respond to God’s work differently.
69
00:07:26,240 –> 00:07:30,479
Speaker 2: Some with amazement, others with skepticism.
70
00:07:30,479 –> 00:07:37,759
Speaker 2: This serves as a reminder that we should not be discouraged when others reject what God is doing in our lives.
71
00:07:37,460 –> 00:07:39,379
Speaker 2: or the lives of others.
72
00:07:39,379 –> 00:07:47,620
Speaker 2: Faith requires an open heart, while unbelief often stems from pride or fear of losing control
73
00:07:49,400 –> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: Our fourth takeaway is that spiritual pride and skepticism can prevent people from recognizing God’s work.
74
00:07:58,180 –> 00:08:04,820
Speaker 2: The Pharisees’ rejection of Jesus’ miracle exposes how pride can blind people to the truth
75
00:08:05,740 –> 00:08:16,220
Speaker 2: Rather than celebrating the healing, they try to discredit Jesus, showing how preconceived notions and prideful hearts can distort reality.
76
00:08:15,900 –> 00:08:24,139
Speaker 2: This teaches us that skepticism rooted in pride can cause us to miss out on God’s blessings and interventions.
77
00:08:24,139 –> 00:08:31,740
Speaker 2: We need to approach God with humility, always open to seeing Him work in ways we might not expect
78
00:08:31,940 –> 00:08:39,220
Speaker 2: Spiritual pride creates barriers, while humility opens the door to God’s transformative power
79
00:08:40,220 –> 00:08:49,020
Speaker 2: And our last takeaway is that we are called to bring others to Jesus, especially those who are spiritually or physically bound.
80
00:08:49,220 –> 00:09:00,900
Speaker 2: Just as the man’s companions brought him to Jesus, we are called to help others encounter Christ, especially those trapped by circumstances beyond their control.
81
00:09:01,120 –> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: Some people may not have the strength or the knowledge to seek Jesus on their own, and our role is to guide them toward him.
82
00:09:11,020 –> 00:09:22,140
Speaker 2: This act of bringing others to Jesus is an expression of love and faith, reflecting God’s heart for the lost and the broken.
83
00:09:22,240 –> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: Whether through prayer, encouragement, or action, we can be instruments of God’s healing in others’ lives.
84
00:09:31,140 –> 00:09:39,460
Speaker 2: Our willingness to bring others to Christ creates opportunities for them to experience his life-changing power
85
00:09:41,980 –> 00:09:48,140
Speaker 2: The healed man in this scripture reminds us of the importance of spiritual freedom
86
00:09:48,759 –> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: Many people today struggle with forms of bondage, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, that hinder their ability to fully engage with life or God.
87
00:10:02,480 –> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 2: Just as the man needed others to bring him to Jesus, we too are called to help others experience the freedom that only Christ can offer
88
00:10:13,940 –> 00:10:20,100
Speaker 2: Who in our lives might be waiting for an invitation to encounter Jesus?
89
00:10:20,420 –> 00:10:28,420
Speaker 2: The scripture also confronts us with the reality that not everyone responds positively to God’s work.
90
00:10:27,740 –> 00:10:33,420
Speaker 2: The crowd’s amazement contrasts sharply with the Pharisees’ rejection.
91
00:10:33,420 –> 00:10:37,980
Speaker 2: This teaches us that faith and openness to God are essential.
92
00:10:37,940 –> 00:10:50,420
Speaker 2: We must guard our hearts against pride and cynicism, which can prevent us from seeing and celebrating the miracles God performs around us.
93
00:10:50,520 –> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 2: Moreover, this healing, this miracle highlights the significance of communication.
94
00:10:57,720 –> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: This man’s inability to speak was both a physical and spiritual limitation.
95
00:11:03,459 –> 00:11:13,860
Speaker 2: When Jesus restores his speech, it symbolizes the restoration of relationships with God, with others, and with his own identity
96
00:11:14,320 –> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: It reminds us that Christ not only sets us free, but also equips us to share our testimonies.
97
00:11:21,900 –> 00:11:31,740
Speaker 2: The Pharisees’ accusation that Jesus worked through Satan warns us of the dangers of misunderstanding or misattributing God’s power
98
00:11:31,940 –> 00:11:38,020
Speaker 2: It’s easy to fall into skepticism when we do not understand how God is working.
99
00:11:38,020 –> 00:11:44,500
Speaker 2: This passage of Scripture encourages us to ask for discernment and humility
100
00:11:44,540 –> 00:11:49,820
Speaker 2: Trusting in God’s ways are higher than ours.
101
00:11:49,820 –> 00:11:57,820
Speaker 2: Finally, the simplicity and the swiftness of Jesus’ healing point us toward his ultimate mission
102
00:11:57,920 –> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: to free people from every form of bondage.
103
00:12:01,920 –> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 2: When we encounter difficulties in life, we can find hope in knowing that Christ is always able to heal, deliver.
104
00:12:11,740 –> 00:12:13,980
Speaker 2: and restore.
105
00:12:13,980 –> 00:12:18,380
Speaker 2: Let’s close out our study of the scripture with a prayer.
106
00:12:18,380 –> 00:12:23,820
Speaker 2: Lord Jesus, we thank you for the healing and freedom that only you can bring
107
00:12:24,480 –> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: Give us faith to trust in your power, even when we do not understand your ways
108
00:12:32,640 –> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: Help us to recognize your hand at work in our lives and in the lives of those around us.
109
00:12:39,920 –> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: Keep us
110
00:12:42,279 –> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: From pride and from skepticism, and give us hearts that are open to your truth
111
00:12:50,779 –> 00:12:59,339
Speaker 2: Strengthen us to bring others to you so that they too may experience your love and freedom.
112
00:12:59,339 –> 00:13:02,459
Speaker 2: In your holy name we pray.
113
00:13:02,459 –> 00:13:03,100

00:15:14,740 –> 00:15:16,500

Speaker 2: com slash v for v
142
00:15:20,600 –> 00:15:30,839
Speaker 2: We would hope that you would reach out to us as well from the website and share a prayer request with us or send them in a boostigram to show us support and also share the prayer request.
143
00:15:31,060 –> 00:15:44,340
Speaker 2: We hope that we can lift up those prayers in this community so that we can raise them up to God and we can get some type of healing or answer or response from God that fits with his will.
144
00:15:45,440 –> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: Just a quick praise report, a gentleman that we had recently requested prayer for here on the show, Jimmy Clayton.
145
00:15:53,420 –> 00:16:01,259
Speaker 2: Jimmy had a scan done um looking at the cancer that was in his body and it looks that
146
00:16:01,740 –> 00:16:05,500
Speaker 2: There are zero signs of the cancer being active now at this point.
147
00:16:05,500 –> 00:16:13,420
Speaker 2: And I text with Jimmy back and forth the other day, and he was so appreciative of the prayers that he’s been receiving.
148
00:16:13,420 –> 00:16:18,860
Speaker 2: and was just so proud to say that God had taken care of it.
149
00:16:18,860 –> 00:16:19,899
Speaker 2: And I love that.
150
00:16:19,899 –> 00:16:27,899
Speaker 2: Jimmy’s such a positive man anyway, uh, but hearing him reading him say that made it that much better for me.
151
00:16:28,760 –> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: Prayer request this week, of course, I’m going to continue to request that people pray for my dad.
152
00:16:34,120 –> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: Several weeks now we’ve talked about it.
153
00:16:36,120 –> 00:16:38,519
Speaker 2: He has been diagnosed with cancer.
154
00:16:39,520 –> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: And they’re getting ready to start tests and then do a procedure and then start his treatment.
155
00:16:45,600 –> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: We’re looking at that over the next month or month or two.
156
00:16:49,060 –> 00:16:56,900
Speaker 2: Um, we’re hoping that once the treatment starts, the doctors have been pretty confident that they can treat it within six to nine weeks of starting treatment.
157
00:16:56,900 –> 00:16:58,580
Speaker 2: So we’ll see how that goes
158
00:16:58,640 –> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 2: I still want to request that anyone listening prays for me.
159
00:17:01,920 –> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: I’m still having health issues.
160
00:17:03,360 –> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: I just had one the other day where I have an issue with fluid retention and stuff in my leg, and occasionally I’ll just
161
00:17:11,579 –> 00:17:12,780
Speaker 2: spike a fever.
162
00:17:12,780 –> 00:17:16,140
Speaker 2: Um and my leg will get really red and inflamed.
163
00:17:16,140 –> 00:17:20,220
Speaker 2: Not really swollen because it’s all it’s always large from that.
164
00:17:20,220 –> 00:17:22,620
Speaker 2: But uh that happened the other day and I had a
165
00:17:23,019 –> 00:17:32,539
Speaker 2: pretty serious issue with it where I had to leave work early and come home and and I slept for gosh, fourteen hours I think total altogether.
166
00:17:32,539 –> 00:17:35,659
Speaker 2: Um and then, you know, afterwards from having the fever and
167
00:17:35,560 –> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: apparently shivering because I don’t remember it very well.
168
00:17:38,840 –> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 2: Um I uh spent the day Friday uh home from work
169
00:17:43,919 –> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 2: Um, just trying to recover and and get my energy and stuff back.
170
00:17:47,440 –> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: So if you can, please please remember me.
171
00:17:50,400 –> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: Um
172
00:17:51,560 –> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: Still remember those people in the areas affected by the storm, Selene and Milton, that they can continue to recover and and and rebuild and bring their lives back to a sense of normalcy.
173
00:18:02,700 –> 00:18:11,100
Speaker 2: So with that said, let’s go ahead and close out this section of our show and the show with a prayer.
174
00:18:12,559 –> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 2: Heavenly Father, we again thank you for this chance to come together and learn from the Bible, your word
175
00:18:20,980 –> 00:18:24,260
Speaker 2: We come together and we lift up these requests.
176
00:18:24,260 –> 00:18:33,300
Speaker 2: Continue to touch and heal my Father and stir his heart that he can return to you.
177
00:18:33,640 –> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 2: Remember me, Lord, I have these health issues and we’re working to address them, and I know that you are the one who can who can heal them and and make me better.
178
00:18:43,080 –> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 2: And thank you, Lord, for the healing you’ve put on Jimmy.
179
00:18:47,460 –> 00:18:55,700
Speaker 2: It was great to get that message from him and hear that the cancer appears to be gone and he praised you for that.
180
00:18:55,940 –> 00:19:03,779
Speaker 2: Remember any unspoken requests our audience has so that you may touch them in the way that you deem to be best.
181
00:19:03,779 –> 00:19:10,659
Speaker 2: We know that you hold the answers to all of our prayers, and we trust you.
182
00:19:09,760 –> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 2: And trust in your wisdom to meet those requests with the answer you provide.
183
00:19:16,400 –> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 2: Also, Lord, it’s in your name that we work and strive to share you with the world each week here on the podcast
184
00:19:22,960 –> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: and that the world might accept your son Jesus as their savior and spend eternity in heaven with you and me
185
00:19:32,320 –> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: And him and all of us that are saved.
186
00:19:35,600 –> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: In Jesus’ name we pray.
187
00:19:37,760 –> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: Amen.
188
00:19:40,320 –> 00:19:47,360
