Dealing With The Issues Of Life

Mark 5:24-34 (KJV) And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and

thronged him.

[25] And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

[26] And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had,

and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

[27] When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

[28] For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

[29] And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that

she was healed of that plague.

[30] And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned

him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

[31] And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest

thou, Who touched me?

[32] And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

[33] But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell

down before him, and told him all the truth.

[34] And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be

whole of thy plague.

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

ALL OF US AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER HAS BEEN

TO THE DOCTOR

AND A GOOD DOCTOR WILL KEEP A FILE OF

EVERY PATIENT HE OR SHE TREATS

VERY BRIEFLY THIS MORNING I WANT TO OPEN

THE CASE FILES OF THE GREAT PHYSICIAN

WHO KEEPS GOOD AND ACCURATE RECORDS OF

EVERY CASE THAT HE HAS TREATED

IN FACT HE HAS WRITTEN THE RECORD OF HIS

CASES

IN THE MOST POPULAR BOOK OF ALL TIMES

THE HOLY BIBLE

AND IT`S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND

THAT DURING THE COURSE OF JESUS EARTHLY

MINISTRY

JESUS ENCOUNTRED MANY ISSUES

AND OVERCAME THEM ALL WITH HEALING AND

DELIVERANCE

AND ONE OF THE STRANGEST ISSUES IS

RECORDED IN THE TEXT BEFORE US

THE TEXT TELL THE STORY OF A SICK BURDENED

WOMAN

WHO IS HEALED BY THE POWER OF THE LORD

AND SHE PAINTS US A PICTURE FOR US OF WHAT

WILL HAPPEN WHEN

WE BRING OUR ISSUES TO THE GREAT PHYSICIAN

AND THIS IS WHERE OUR TEXT WILL BEGIN

(DEALING WITH THE ISSUES OF LIFE)

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN LIFE WE FACE

MANY ISSUES

AND YOUR ISSUE MAY BE ONE THING AND MINE

CAN BE ANOTHER

BUT WE ALL HAVE ISSUES

FOR MANY OF US HAVE ISSUES WITH

OUR HEALTH

OUR FINACES

OUR JOBSOUR

MARRIAGES

OUR CHILDERNS

AND MANY OF US HAVE ISSUES WITH LIVING A

LIFESTYLE THAT IS PLEASING TO GOD

IN THE TEXT BEFORE US

THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THIS WOMAN IN THE TEXT

HAS AN ISSUE OF BLOOD

IT WAS AN ISSUE THAT LITERALLY RUIN HER LIFE

FOR 12 LONG YEARS

AND WE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DEAL WITH

OUR ISSUES

BEFORE OUR ISSUES RUIN US

AND IT`S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT THESE

ISSUES CAUSES DISCOMFORT

THIS WOMAN IN THE TEXT

HER LIFE WAS SLOWLY EBBING AWAY

BECAUSE LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD

AND THERE ARE 3 THINGS THAT HER ISSUE DID

TO HER

1-IT MADE HER WEAK

2-IT MADE HER UNCLEAN

3-AND IT MADE HER MISERABLE

AND SUCH ARE THE EFFECTS OF SIN

IT WILL MAKE YOU WEAK ON THIS CHRISTIAN

JOURNEY

UNCLEAN IN THE EYES OF GOD

AND MISERABLE IN THE WAY WE LIVE

BUT AS WE EXAMINE THE TEXT THERE ARE 7

SPRITUAL NUGGETS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO LIFT

UP

1

ST HER DESIRE TO BE MADE WHOLE

Mark 5:26 (KJV) And had suffered many things of many

physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing

bettered, but rather grew worse,

SHE HAD SPENT ALL SHE HAD

SHE TRIED TO FIND A WORDLY DELIVERANCE

FROM HER MISERY

BUT SHE WENT TO THE WRONG SOURCE

AND I NEED TO PAUSE AND ASK

HOW MANY OF US IS GOING TO THE WRONG

SOURCE WITH OUR ISSUES

SEE SHE VISITED DR FALSE PEACE BUT DR FALSE

PEACE COULD`NT DO HER ANY GOOD

SHE EVEN VISITED DR FEEL GOOD AND DR FEEL

GOOD STILL COULD`NT DO HER ANY GOOD

SHE EVEN VISITED DR DO BETTER AND DR DO

BETTER LIKE THE REST COULD`NT DO HER ANY

GOOD

BUT HOW MANY OF US HAVE VISITED DR FALSE

PEACE

AND HE PRESCRIBE US

A TRIP TO THE BOAT -AND WHEN YOU LEFT THE

BOAT YOU WAS BROKE AND YOUR ISSUE WAS

STILL THERE

OR A TRIP TO THE GAMBLING SHACK -YOU LEFT

THERE MADDER AND BROKE THAN YOU WAS

BEFORE YOU GOT THERE -BECAUSE YOUR ISSUE

OR A SCRATCH OFF AND YOU SCRATCH AND

SCRATCH AND SCRATCH BUT YOUR ISSUE WAS
