“You Crawled In, But You’re Walkin’ Out.”
“Press Your Way Into A Miracle.”
Matthew 9: 20-22 / Mark 5:25-34 / Luke 8:43-48
I) This is a season of blessings, favor and miracles
a) I want to concentrate on miracles
b) Story Chronology
1) Jesus is going to the house of
Jairus to resurrect his Daughter
(Jairus= Ruler of a synagogue)
2) Why there are no names used
(to keep focus on the miracle)
3) What our role is in the receiving
of miracles (P R E S S)
II) “P”-> Primed (Mark 5:25-26)
You need to be primed by God for a miracle
a) God chooses whom he wants for a miracle
(it’s not for you, but for him)
b) He chose this woman (certain)
c) Allowed her to go through (suffered;
Allowed not made) 2 Cor 12:7
d) All she did made it worse
III) “R”-> Recognize (Mark 5:27)
Recognize the presence of God in your situation
a) She wasn’t looking for him 1st; then she
heard about him & his works she came on
faith;
b) When she got into his presence, she moved
on faith;
c) Faith is the glue that holds a miracle
together
IV) “E”-> Expect (Matthew 9:20)
Expect God to do it; whatever it is
a) Her faith in God causes her to take
action / faith in action makes miracles
possible (touch the hem / original idea)
b) Why did she have to press? There are
always going to be people trying to keep
you from the miracle
c) Why did she touch the hem?
1) She was weak
2) She was breaking Levitical Law
(Lev 15:19-27, 32-33)
d) Expectation = Obligation
V) “S”-> Separate (Luke 8:44b-46)
Separate your old self from your new self
a) You’ve been empowered (he felt virtue leave
his body)
b) You’ve gone from a nobody to a somebody
(Vs.46 “Somebody”; Going from nobody to...)
VI) “S”-> Start Over
