00:00:45,040 –> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: Here is your host, Randy Black.

10
00:00:47,760 –> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, we encounter the powerful story of Jairus, a synagogue leader.

11
00:00:58,040 –> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 2: Who comes to Jesus in desperation, pleading for him to save his dying daughter.

12
00:01:06,840 –> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: As Jesus agrees to go to his house, the situation though turns dire.

13
00:01:12,680 –> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: And word comes that the girl has died.

14
00:01:16,920 –> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: But Jesus, undeterred by the finality of death, enters the home and raises the girl back to life

15
00:01:25,320 –> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: This miracle reveals not only Jesus’ authority over death, but also the importance of faith in the face of despair.

16
00:01:37,700 –> 00:01:43,780
Speaker 2: As we do each week, let’s open up our lesson with a prayer.

17
00:01:43,780 –> 00:01:45,380
Speaker 2: Heavenly Father.

18
00:01:45,240 –> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: We come before you in awe of your power and grace as we study this miracle from your word, the miracle of Jesus raising Jariz’s daughter.

19
00:01:55,920 –> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: We ask for your spirit to open our hearts and minds to the lessons within.

20
00:02:01,360 –> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: Help us to grow in faith, even in moments of fear and doubt.

21
00:02:07,920 –> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: Knowing that nothing is impossible for you.

22
00:02:12,080 –> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: Guide us in understanding your truth and help us to apply it to our lives today.

23
00:02:20,020 –> 00:02:22,020
Speaker 2: In Jesus’ name we pray.

24
00:02:22,020 –> 00:02:28,580
Speaker 2: Amen.

25
00:02:28,580 –> 00:02:32,099
Speaker 2: Matthew chapter nine, verse eighteen.

26
00:02:32,099 –> 00:02:34,660
Speaker 2: While he spake these things unto them, behold,

27
00:02:34,780 –> 00:02:46,459
Speaker 2: Behold, there came a certain ruler and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead, but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

28
00:02:46,459 –> 00:02:48,860
Speaker 2: Verses 23 through 26

29
00:02:49,700 –> 00:03:03,140
Speaker 2: And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, he said unto them, Give place, for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.

30
00:03:03,140 –> 00:03:04,580
Speaker 2: And they laughed him to scorn.

31
00:03:05,500 –> 00:03:15,660
Speaker 2: But when the people were put forth, he went in and took her by the hand, and the maid arose, and the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

32
00:03:19,940 –> 00:03:23,940
Speaker 2: Mark chapter 5, verses 21 through 24.

33
00:03:23,940 –> 00:03:32,900
Speaker 2: And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him, and he was nigh unto the sea.

34
00:03:32,640 –> 00:03:38,239
Speaker 2: And behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jarus by name.

35
00:03:38,239 –> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: And when he saw him, he fell at his feet

36
00:03:40,480 –> 00:03:45,519
Speaker 2: and besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death.

37
00:03:45,519 –> 00:03:52,319
Speaker 2: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed, and she shall live.

38
00:03:52,319 –> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: And Jesus went with him, and much people followed him,

39
00:03:55,480 –> 00:03:57,319
Speaker 2: and thronged him.

40
00:03:57,319 –> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: Verses thirty-five through forty-three.

41
00:04:00,360 –> 00:04:07,959
Speaker 2: While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead.

42
00:04:07,959 –> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: Why troublest thou the master any further?

43
00:04:11,200 –> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

44
00:04:19,280 –> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter and James, and John the brother of James.

45
00:04:25,960 –> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

46
00:04:32,840 –> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep?

47
00:04:37,720 –> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 2: The damsel is not dead.

48
00:04:39,460 –> 00:04:43,460
Speaker 2: but sleepeth, and they laughed him to scorn.

49
00:04:43,460 –> 00:04:50,180
Speaker 2: But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him

50
00:04:50,160 –> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: And entereth in where the damsel was lying.

51
00:04:52,960 –> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Tallethakumi, which is, being interpreted damsel, I say unto thee, Arise.

52
00:05:02,480 –> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: And straightway the damsel arose, and walked.

53
00:05:10,760 –> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: And he charged them straightly that no man should know it, and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

54
00:05:22,740 –> 00:05:26,500
Speaker 2: Luke chapter 8, verses 40 through 42.

55
00:05:26,500 –> 00:05:33,780
Speaker 2: And it came to pass that when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him, for they were all waiting for him.

56
00:05:34,139 –> 00:05:34,620
Speaker 2: him.

57
00:05:34,620 –> 00:05:48,699
Speaker 2: And behold, there came a man named Jarus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue, and he fell down at Jesus’ feet and besought him that he would come into his house, for he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and

58
00:05:48,979 –> 00:05:50,500
Speaker 2: And she lay a dying.

59
00:05:50,500 –> 00:05:53,940
Speaker 2: But as he went the people thronged him.

60
00:05:53,940 –> 00:05:56,820
Speaker 2: Verses 49 through 56.

61
00:05:56,820 –> 00:06:03,780
Speaker 2: While he had spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead.

62
00:06:04,220 –> 00:06:05,900
Speaker 2: Trouble not the master.

63
00:06:05,900 –> 00:06:12,540
Speaker 2: But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not, believe only, and she shall be made whole.

64
00:06:12,540 –> 00:06:18,620
Speaker 2: And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in save Peter and James and John, and the father and the mother.

65
00:06:19,220 –> 00:06:22,500
Speaker 2: Of the maiden, and all wept and bewailed her.

66
00:06:22,500 –> 00:06:26,500
Speaker 2: But he said, Weep not, she is not dead, but sleepeth.

67
00:06:26,500 –> 00:06:29,780
Speaker 2: And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

68
00:06:29,400 –> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.

69
00:06:35,000 –> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway, and he commanded to give her meat.

70
00:06:40,040 –> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: And her parents were astonished, but he charged them that they should tell no man what was her.

71
00:06:44,639 –> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: was done.

72
00:06:47,360 –> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: The story of Jeris’s daughter unfolds across these three Gospels, and each account gives us slightly different perspectives on this miraculous event.

73
00:06:58,560 –> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: What remains

74
00:06:59,880 –> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: Consistent, however, is the faith of Jairus, the seemingly, seeming finality of death, and Jesus’ response to both.

75
00:07:11,120 –> 00:07:25,759
Speaker 2: In Matthew’s account, Jairus approaches Jesus with a heart full of faith, declaring that if Jesus were to lay his hand on his daughter, she would live, even though she may already be dead.

76
00:07:26,040 –> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: This strong faith sets the stage for the miracle that is to come.

77
00:07:31,560 –> 00:07:34,919
Speaker 2: Despite the mourners and the disbelief around him.

78
00:07:34,960 –> 00:07:45,199
Speaker 2: Jesus’ calm assurance that the maid is not dead, but sleepeth demonstrates his divine authority over life and over death

79
00:07:46,340 –> 00:07:58,180
Speaker 2: Mark’s account includes more details, such as Jesus’ instruction to Jairus to be not afraid, only believe, when the news of his of his daughter’s death reaches them.

80
00:07:58,220 –> 00:08:07,020
Speaker 2: This is extremely significant as it underscores the importance of faith in the face of overwhelming despair.

81
00:08:07,220 –> 00:08:15,620
Speaker 2: Jesus is not just asking for belief in his ability to heal, but in his power to overcome death itself.

82
00:08:16,280 –> 00:08:29,159
Speaker 2: Jesus’ words, Talathakumi, translated as Damsel, I say unto thee, arise, serves as a powerful reminder that his word brings life where there was none

83
00:08:29,880 –> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 2: Luke highlights the emotional aspect of the story, particularly the sorrow and the disbelief of those mourning this girl’s death.

84
00:08:39,120 –> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: Their reaction to Jesus’ words, that the girl is only sleeping, was one of scorn and of laughter, which reveals how entrenched they were in their understanding of death as the ultimate end.

85
00:08:54,580 –> 00:09:01,380
Speaker 2: But Jesus’ actions show that in him, death does not have to have the final say.

86
00:09:01,380 –> 00:09:06,019
Speaker 2: By taking the girl by the hand and calling her back to life,

87
00:09:06,480 –> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: Jesus demonstrates his compassion and authority over the grave.

88
00:09:13,280 –> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: This story is not just about physical resurrection

89
00:09:17,020 –> 00:09:23,260
Speaker 2: but also about the spiritual life that Jesus offers to all who believe in him.

90
00:09:23,260 –> 00:09:25,580
Speaker 2: His power over death.

91
00:09:25,440 –> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: foreshadows his own resurrection and points to the eternal life that believers have in him.

92
00:09:34,480 –> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: We have five key takeaways from these passages of scripture today from this miracle.

93
00:09:40,240 –> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 2: Number one is that faith is looking at faith in Jesus’ power or having faith in Jesus’ power.

94
00:09:46,760 –> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: Jarrus’s belief that Jesus could heal and even raise his daughter from the dead was an essential component of this miraculous event.

95
00:09:55,820 –> 00:10:04,860
Speaker 2: His willingness to seek out Jesus in desperation showed his trust in Christ’s authority over life.

96
00:10:05,020 –> 00:10:16,300
Speaker 2: This faith sets an example for us to come to Jesus with our needs, knowing that he is able to do far more than we can ever imagine.

97
00:10:16,620 –> 00:10:27,660
Speaker 2: The miracle demonstrates that even in the most dire circumstances, faith in Jesus opens the door for God’s power to work.

98
00:10:27,820 –> 00:10:35,020
Speaker 2: Faith is not merely belief in what we can see, but in the unseen power of God

99
00:10:36,380 –> 00:10:43,500
Speaker 2: Our second takeaway is that Jesus is, Jesus has the authority ultimately over death.

100
00:10:44,860 –> 00:10:52,140
Speaker 2: The raising of Jairus’ daughter clearly shows that Jesus has power not just over sickness, but over death itself

101
00:10:52,259 –> 00:11:00,180
Speaker 2: The miracle serves as a foreshadowing of his own resurrection and the ultimate victory over death that he would achieve.

102
00:11:01,240 –> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 2: For believers, it offers us reassurance that the physical death is not the final word, because Jesus holds the keys to eternal life

103
00:11:10,839 –> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: His command, Talitha Kumi, proves that death for Jesus is only a temporary state, one that can be reversed.

104
00:11:21,860 –> 00:11:30,340
Speaker 2: And we’re reminded that in Jesus there is no situation too far gone for him to restore life.

105
00:11:30,340 –> 00:11:35,220
Speaker 2: Our third takeaway is the importance of believing in the impossible

106
00:11:35,880 –> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: When Jairus heard that his daughter had died, it would have been easy for him to lose hope.

107
00:11:42,600 –> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: Yet Jesus called him to continue believing even when the situation seemed impossible.

108
00:11:49,900 –> 00:11:56,620
Speaker 2: This teaches us to maintain faith even when everything around us suggests otherwise

109
00:11:57,440 –> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: Our faith must extend beyond what we see and embrace the reality that with God

110
00:12:05,520 –> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: All things are possible.

111
00:12:07,280 –> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 2: Believing in the impossible opens the door for God’s miraculous intervention in our lives

112
00:12:15,300 –> 00:12:23,620
Speaker 2: Our fourth takeaway is that we must see and have compassion in the midst of sorrow.

113
00:12:23,620 –> 00:12:25,620
Speaker 2: And Jesus is that example.

114
00:12:25,839 –> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 2: Jesus did not simply perform a miracle and then leave.

115
00:12:29,839 –> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: He was deeply moved by the grief of the parents and the situation at hand.

116
00:12:35,040 –> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: His actions in taking the girl by the hand and raising her with care show that his miracles come from a place of deep compassion.

117
00:12:45,320 –> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: It reminds us that Jesus is not indifferent to our suffering.

118
00:12:50,120 –> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: He sees and cares about the emotional and physical struggles we face.

119
00:12:57,380 –> 00:13:08,420
Speaker 2: His compassionate nature is central to his ministry, and it should encourage us as Christians to turn toward him in our own times of need.

120
00:13:08,820 –> 00:13:17,060
Speaker 2: And our fifth takeaway is looking at overcoming doubt and ridicule.

121
00:13:18,560 –> 00:13:26,639
Speaker 2: The crowd mocked Jesus when he said the girl was merely sleeping, showing their disbelief in his ability to raise her.

122
00:13:26,639 –> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: However, their doubt did not prevent the miracle from happening.

123
00:13:32,120 –> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: Jesus often works beyond the limits of human understanding, and our faith should not be shaken by the skepticism of others

124
00:13:42,940 –> 00:13:50,459
Speaker 2: This teaches us to remain steadfast in our faith, trusting in Jesus’ power, even when others

125
00:13:51,120 –> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: Do not believe.

126
00:13:52,480 –> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 2: The scorn of others is irrelevant when it comes to the power of God, which operates beyond our own human comprehension

127
00:14:05,140 –> 00:14:12,340
Speaker 2: The story of Jaris’s daughter presents us with a vivid picture of faith in the face of despair.

128
00:14:12,820 –> 00:14:25,860
Speaker 2: Jarus’ position as a synagogue ruler could have caused him to hesitate before approaching Jesus, especially given the growing tension between the religious leaders and Jesus during that time.

129
00:14:25,720 –> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: Yet his love for his daughter overcame any pride or fear he had.

130
00:14:32,920 –> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: This teaches us that when we are faced with desperate circumstances,

131
00:14:37,160 –> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: We must approach Jesus with humility and faith, trusting in his power to intervene

132
00:14:45,520 –> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: Jesus’ response to the news of the girl’s death is equally powerful.

133
00:14:49,760 –> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: When others have given up, Jesus encourages Jairus not to fear, but to believe

134
00:14:57,720 –> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: How often do we face moments when all seems lost?

135
00:15:02,680 –> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: In those times, we are called to remember that Jesus has the final say, not our circumstances.

136
00:15:11,060 –> 00:15:16,740
Speaker 2: His words to Jarrus can resonate in our own hearts.

137
00:15:16,740 –> 00:15:20,100
Speaker 2: Fear not, believe only.

138
00:15:21,960 –> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 2: Furthermore, this story speaks to the nature of Jesus’ miracles.

139
00:15:25,960 –> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: The crowd ridiculed him for claiming the girl was only sleeping.

140
00:15:30,240 –> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: Their laughter represents the doubt that so often accompanies our human understanding of God’s ways.

141
00:15:37,280 –> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: But Jesus shows that in him death is not the end.

142
00:15:41,760 –> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: It’s merely a transition.

143
00:15:44,399 –> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: This truth can offer comfort to those who mourn and those who fear death, as Jesus’ resurrection power brings eternal hope.

144
00:15:55,840 –> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: Lastly, we see that Jesus was moved with compassion.

145
00:15:59,360 –> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: He did not simply raise the girl and leave.

146
00:16:02,400 –> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: He instructed her parents to give her something to eat, showing his care for her physical needs as well.

147
00:16:09,720 –> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: This small detail reminds us that Jesus is not only concerned with the grand miracles, but also with the small everyday needs of our lives

148
00:16:23,400 –> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 2: As we do each week, let’s close out our scripture section of this or scripture lesson of the podcast with a prayer.

149
00:16:32,160 –> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: Lord, we thank you for your power over life and death and for the faith you inspire in us through the story of Jaris’ daughter.

150
00:16:42,420 –> 00:16:50,500
Speaker 2: Help us to trust you, even in the most hopeless situations, knowing that you were always in control.

151
00:16:51,440 –> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: May we be encouraged to bring our fears, doubts, and sorrows to you

152
00:16:59,279 –> 00:17:03,519
Speaker 2: Believing that you have that final say.

153
00:17:03,519 –> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: Strengthen our faith and remind us daily that in you there is always hope and there is always life.

154
00:17:13,519 –> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 2: We ask this in your mighty name in the name of your son, Jesus.

155
00:17:18,399 –> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 2: Amen.

156
00:17:21,019 –> 00:17:23,579

Speaker 3: That’s podcasting 2.

162

Speaker 3: org slash apps.

163
00:17:37,460 –> 00:17:40,580
Speaker 2: This podcast operates under the value for value model.

164
00:17:40,580 –> 00:17:43,299
Speaker 2: The idea is that we are providing value to you.

165
00:17:43,299 –> 00:17:45,539
Speaker 2: And whatever you see.

166
00:17:45,340 –> 00:17:50,460
Speaker 2: or receive from us in value, you then return to us in the form of value.

167
00:17:50,460 –> 00:17:52,059
Speaker 2: And that can come in different forms.

168
00:17:52,059 –> 00:17:56,700
Speaker 2: We talk about it with the idea of time, talent, and treasure.

169
00:17:56,620 –> 00:18:01,820
Speaker 2: Time is just something as simple as listening to the show, sharing it with others.

170
00:18:01,820 –> 00:18:05,420
Speaker 2: Talent would be offering to assist us with the show.

171
00:18:05,420 –> 00:18:07,820
Speaker 2: So maybe it’s to make artwork.

172
00:18:07,560 –> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: uh for the cover art images for each episode to give us ideas for scriptures to look at and examine, uh even writing

173
00:18:16,640 –> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 2: a script or lesson for the show that we can use.

174
00:18:20,160 –> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: And it can even be as much as saying, hey, I love what you’re doing.

175
00:18:23,520 –> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: I want to be a part of that.

176
00:18:24,800 –> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: How can I be involved on the show?

177
00:18:26,720 –> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: How can I take part and record with you

178
00:18:30,140 –> 00:18:31,980
Speaker 2: And the last area, of course, is treasure.

179
00:18:31,980 –> 00:18:35,900
Speaker 2: Treasure would be the idea of providing financial support in some way.

180
00:18:35,900 –> 00:18:39,660
Speaker 2: It does cost us money to create this show and to host it online.

181
00:18:39,540 –> 00:18:47,060
Speaker 2: So if you can provide financial support to assist in that, we gladly would accept it to help defer the cost we have with that

182
00:18:47,620 –> 00:18:55,780

193
00:19:28,820 –> 00:19:30,660
Speaker 2: Prayer requests for this week again.

194
00:19:30,660 –> 00:19:31,940
Speaker 2: Remember my dad.

195
00:19:31,940 –> 00:19:38,740
Speaker 2: He received uh news at the doctor on Wednesday of what his treatment plan looks like.

196
00:19:38,740 –> 00:19:40,340
Speaker 2: And it looks like we’re going to be looking at.

197
00:19:40,340 –> 00:19:45,380
Speaker 2: Once he starts six to nine weeks of treatment, depending on how he responds and how things go.

198
00:19:40,420 –> 00:19:40,740
Speaker 2: .

199
00:19:45,380 –> 00:19:49,220
Speaker 2: So lift him up and for the healing that could occur, but also

200
00:19:49,919 –> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: I I I pray and I pray every day that he comes back and starts attending church again.

201
00:19:56,240 –> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: I would love to see him do so

202
00:19:58,720 –> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: We have a member of the podcasting 2.

203
00:20:00,960 –> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: 0 community, a gentleman named Russell Harrower.

204
00:20:03,600 –> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: Russell’s in Australia.

205
00:20:05,040 –> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 2: Good guy.

206
00:20:05,680 –> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 2: Has done some tremendous work.

207
00:20:06,880 –> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 2: He’s the founder of Pod 2.

208
00:20:08,760 –> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 2: Um, and also the founder of podid.

209
00:20:12,440 –> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: org.

210
00:20:13,000 –> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: Russell’s had some health issues that have come up and have returned on him recently.

211
00:20:17,240 –> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 2: His partner has as well.

212
00:20:18,580 –> 00:20:20,900
Speaker 2: So we want to lift those uh those both of them up.

213
00:20:20,900 –> 00:20:27,460
Speaker 2: I ask him if it would be okay for us to for me on the show as the host to share that with the audience that we might pray for him.

214
00:20:27,460 –> 00:20:28,820
Speaker 2: And he said that he was

215
00:20:28,840 –> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 2: More than happy to accept those prayers that we can lift him up and and help them in that situation through our prayers to the Lord

216
00:20:36,400 –> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 2: We ought to continue to remember those folks that have been affected by the storms we’ve seen.

217
00:20:41,200 –> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: Helene that came through Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and the damage and devastation that caused

218
00:20:48,960 –> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 2: Uh I’ve seen updates from people online and it’s just so so dramatic to know that some of these areas I’ve seen myself are just now decimated or even gone.

219
00:20:58,820 –> 00:21:07,940
Speaker 2: But also the people who are just affected by the storm Milton that just came right through the middle of Florida just a few days ago and the devastation it has caused.

220
00:21:07,940 –> 00:21:08,660
Speaker 2: I saw that it

221
00:21:08,760 –> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 2: actually ripped the roof or a big part of the roof off a Tropicana field there in St.

222
00:21:12,840 –> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 2: Petersburg near Tampa where the uh the Tampa Bay Rays play the baseball team.

223
00:21:17,640 –> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 2: So there’s this widespread stuff that needs fixed and and rebuilt there and

224
00:21:22,760 –> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: Not to mention the lives that have been disrupted and people having to leave and evacuate and everything they’ve had to go through.

225
00:21:29,480 –> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 2: The last prayer request I ask today is is for me.

226
00:21:32,679 –> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 2: I mentioned myself before last week, I’m pretty sure.

227
00:21:35,639 –> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 2: Um

228
00:21:36,840 –> 00:21:45,799
Speaker 2: I have now been diagnosed as type 2 diabetic, and a lot of that is because of my weight, the situation I’ve allowed myself to get into.

229
00:21:45,540 –> 00:21:46,260
Speaker 2: with that.

230
00:21:46,260 –> 00:21:48,180
Speaker 2: Um start a medication for it.

231
00:21:48,180 –> 00:21:50,260
Speaker 2: We’re looking at a plans of what we’re going to do.

232
00:21:50,420 –> 00:21:55,860
Speaker 2: We have certain things we have to do insurance-wise to to do certain things.

233
00:21:55,980 –> 00:21:59,660
Speaker 2: But I’ve also suffering from mild anemia.

234
00:22:00,140 –> 00:22:02,380
Speaker 2: My iron saturation level is low.

235
00:22:02,620 –> 00:22:03,740
Speaker 2: We’re not sure why.

236
00:22:03,740 –> 00:22:07,260
Speaker 2: They have discovered that I do have blood.

237
00:22:08,220 –> 00:22:19,100
Speaker 2: blood in my and this is gross, I hate to talk about it, but I have blood in my stool and we’re gonna have to do an examination uh for that to get that figured out and see if we can determine where that’s coming from and what’s causing it.

238
00:22:19,100 –> 00:22:21,100
Speaker 2: So lift me up in prayer for that.

239
00:22:21,100 –> 00:22:22,860
Speaker 2: I appreciate that greatly.

240
00:22:22,720 –> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: But as we do each week, we’re going to close out our show with that prayer to lift up those requests to the Lord.

241
00:22:29,040 –> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: So please, prayer with us

242
00:22:32,140 –> 00:22:39,020
Speaker 2: Heavenly Father, we thank you again for the chance to come together and to share your word and to learn from it.

243
00:22:39,020 –> 00:22:41,740
Speaker 2: We come together with these requests.

244
00:22:41,740 –> 00:22:46,940
Speaker 2: to lift them up to you that you can answer them in the way that best fits with your will.

245
00:22:46,940 –> 00:22:56,460
Speaker 2: Remember Lord my father and the health issues he’s having and the process we’re going through with that and also that he might return to service for you in church.

246
00:22:56,519 –> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: week.

247
00:22:57,320 –> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 2: We lift up Russell Harrow from the Podcasting 2.

248
00:22:59,880 –> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: 0 community and his partner and the health issues they’re facing.

249
00:23:02,440 –> 00:23:03,799
Speaker 2: Touch them, Lord, heal them.

250
00:23:03,799 –> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 2: And if they need you in their life in their lives.

251
00:23:06,840 –> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 2: Please, and then your set your son as their savior, stir their hearts and and bring that conviction upon them that they can do so

252
00:23:14,820 –> 00:23:27,700
Speaker 2: Uh remember those people who’ve been affected by the storms, Lord, the areas of devastation, a tremendous, tremendous amount of work moving forward to fix those areas and rebuild them.

253
00:23:27,340 –> 00:23:29,980
Speaker 2: And Lord, I ask for myself.

254
00:23:29,980 –> 00:23:36,620
Speaker 2: And whatever is going on, I put it into your hands that if if healing is the proper way to handle this, then

255
00:23:37,460 –> 00:23:38,820
Speaker 2: Please, Lord, heal me.

256
00:23:38,820 –> 00:23:49,620
Speaker 2: But if there’s other plans and other things that fit with your will, Lord, may you take action to do the things that are best for that will and for my life as I continue on.

257
00:23:49,780 –> 00:24:00,420
Speaker 2: Also, Lord, remember the unspoken request that the members of our audience may have that you can touch those needs in the way that fits with your will and the way that you need things done on this earth.

258
00:24:00,519 –> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 2: We hope that the work we’re doing is inspiring people.

259
00:24:04,360 –> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 2: We’re providing them with value.

260
00:24:06,120 –> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 2: And that eventually that work will lead to individuals realizing that they need your son, Jesus, as their savior.

261
00:24:14,040 –> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: That they can then come to heaven and spend eternity with you and with Jesus and with all of the rest of us that are saved.

262
00:24:23,480 –> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 2: And it’s in Jesus’ name that we pray.

263
00:24:25,960 –> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 2: Amen.

264
00:24:28,280 –> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 2: Our next episode is going to be about Jesus healing two blind gentlemen.

265
00:24:33,720 –> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: This is one of those miracles that’s only found in one place in the Bible.

266
00:24:37,560 –> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 2: That is actually going to be from Matthew.
