to put Sometimes you have to work in it.

4:01

Sometimes you have to travel to get it. Sometimes

4:04

you have to go out of your way to

4:06

get it. Sometimes you have to cross the line

4:08

to get it. Step over your traditions. Step over

4:10

what you heard. Step over what you've

4:12

been taught. Because faith will

4:14

cross the line. Now don't

4:17

ask God for faith if you're not going

4:19

to move. Faith will make a man with

4:21

a withered hand stretch forth his hand. Faith

4:24

will make a woman with an issue of blood

4:26

crawl across the floor. Faith will

4:28

make a woman who has been with five men

4:30

and now she's sleeping with somebody. Faith

4:36

is radical. It's an action word. It's not

4:38

a noun. It's a verb. If you've

4:40

got faith, you've got to move. If

4:42

you've got religion, you can sit still. But

4:44

if you've got faith, you've got to move.

4:47

Because faith is a verb. It requires action.

4:49

It requires movement. It requires

4:51

that you do so. Take up your bed

4:53

and walk. Give me your two

4:55

fish and five loaves of bread. Go

4:57

borrow some basil. Faith requires that

4:59

you take action. I

5:02

wish I was talking to somebody

5:04

tonight that was radical enough to take

5:06

action and make up in your mind if I have

5:08

to go out of my way. I'm going out of my

5:10

way. If I have to

5:12

be ridiculed, if I have to be gossiped

5:15

about, if my neighbors are talking about because

5:17

I left my daughter at home. I know

5:19

what I'm doing because I said something in

5:21

this Jesus that I can't let him get

5:23

away until I've had a personal experience with

5:25

him. He brushed

5:27

by my neighborhood, but I'm not satisfied

5:30

to get close to him and not

5:32

have an encounter with him. And I'm

5:35

going where he is, even

5:37

though the law says that

5:41

I shouldn't come near him. So

5:44

not only did she step over

5:46

her religion, she stepped over his

5:48

because according to the Torah, she

5:50

shouldn't have had no dealings with

5:52

Jesus being a Jew. The Samaritan

5:54

woman teaches you that. Your people

5:56

and my people have no dealings.

6:00

And even the Torah said that she

6:02

was exempt from being a part of

6:04

the commonwealth of Israel. And when she

6:06

comes to where Jesus is, he

6:09

told her, I

6:12

had no dealings with you. I

6:16

had no dealings with you. Go on back. See,

6:19

if you are easily discouraged, you will never get

6:22

what you want from God. Because

6:25

anybody else would have taken Jesus' word for

6:27

it and left it and said, well, he

6:29

insulted me. I'm not going. He

6:31

said, I am not sent but to the lost

6:33

sheep of the house of Israel. In

6:36

other words, you are exempt from being

6:39

eligible to receive what you asked me

6:41

for. It's not that I'm exempt from

6:43

being able. I'm

6:46

able but you're not eligible. That's

6:49

what Jesus was saying. I am not

6:51

sent but to the lost sheep of

6:53

the house of Israel. And

6:57

then she

6:59

calls him Lord. She

7:03

calls him Lord. But

7:08

he hadn't been to her. But

7:12

the fact that she calls him Lord stands

7:15

up in the face of all the traditions

7:17

of her background. The

7:19

fact that she called him Lord meant that she

7:21

had a revelation that he was more than a

7:23

good man, that

7:26

he was more than a prophet, that

7:28

he was Adonai. She

7:31

called him Lord. And

7:33

when she said, Lord, that

7:35

is acknowledging who he is. When

7:39

she said, help me, that

7:41

is acknowledging who she is.

7:44

She has put him in his proper

7:47

perspective. I

7:49

know you got the power. And

7:53

I know I got the problem. See,

7:56

some people have trouble admitting that God

7:58

has the power. And

8:00

then there's another group of people that have

8:02

trouble admitting that they have a problem. But

8:04

this woman was not neither. She was not

8:06

too arrogant to admit that she needed some

8:09

help. You have to be humble enough

8:11

to say, help me. And

8:13

you have to be discerning enough

8:15

to call Him Lord. She knew who

8:17

He was, and she

8:19

knew who she was

8:22

in front of all of these spectators

8:24

who didn't even want her around. But

8:28

the Bible says, and the disciples

8:30

said, she quieteth after us, send

8:33

her away. She never said

8:35

nothing to them. These

8:38

minions that surrounded Jesus were

8:40

just in the way. They

8:43

were just in the way of what God

8:46

was about to do. And most of the

8:48

people that surround the man of God are

8:50

just in the way. There's so much protocol

8:52

and routine and ritual. They're just in the

8:54

way. Little men always

8:56

like to exercise big power so

8:59

they can feel important. The

9:02

reality is they didn't have nothing to do with it.

9:05

The reality is she didn't walk that far

9:07

to see them. The reality is even if

9:09

she did come to see them, they probably

9:11

couldn't help her. But

9:13

she said she quieteth after us because

9:15

when you hang around power, it is elusive

9:18

enough to make you think that it's yours

9:20

when it's not. It's

9:24

like standing beside somebody who can sing can make

9:26

you think you can sing when you can. See,

9:30

she was never crying after them. She was

9:32

crying after him. Lord,

9:35

help me. That don't have nothing to

9:37

do with your disciples, your trustee board,

9:39

your board of elders, your deacon board,

9:41

none of that. That has nothing to

9:43

do with any of them. They

9:46

were just minions surrounding

9:48

Jesus, standing in the

9:51

way of a man. Lord, let me stop a

9:53

minute and pray. Lord, don't let me ever stand

9:55

in the way of

9:57

somebody's miracle. Let

10:00

my arrogance stand in the way

10:02

of your divine purpose. Don't

10:05

let my need to be acknowledged stand in

10:07

the way of somebody getting a breakthrough. Somebody's

10:09

got a sick little girl that needs

10:11

a breakthrough. And don't let my pride

10:13

become so puffed up that I can

10:15

easily send away what I couldn't heal

10:18

anyway. It's

10:20

easy to send away what you can't work

10:22

with no way. Send her

10:25

away, they said. She

10:27

cries after us. But she crossed

10:29

over top of all of that. Everything

10:31

they threw at her, she crossed over top

10:33

of that. I'm not sent but to the

10:35

lost sheep of the house of Israel. And

10:37

she crossed over there. What are you willing

10:39

to cross over to get what you want

10:41

from the Lord? We

10:44

live in the world today, or the world

10:46

in the world, in the world today that

10:48

people are so easily discouraged that

10:51

if a miracle is not convenient, they don't

10:53

come. If

10:56

the parking is not convenient, they

10:59

don't come. If somebody

11:01

sits in their seat at church, they

11:04

don't come. If they

11:07

don't like the rules, they

11:09

don't come. If

11:11

they have to wear a mask, they

11:14

don't come. If they have to stand in

11:16

line, they don't come. These are the same

11:18

people who stand in line for hours for

11:21

a ticket to a football game. People

11:24

will stand in line 15 minutes to

11:26

get a healing. This

11:29

woman had traveled all the way up the

11:31

coast with her sick daughter at

11:33

home to see a

11:36

Jesus who told her no.

11:41

At first he answered her not a

11:43

word. I

11:46

don't know what's worse than rejection or

11:48

the silence. Have

11:51

you ever had to live with God's silence?

11:55

When you're in a crisis and the

11:57

only one who can fix it says nothing. I

12:01

know you heard me. I

12:04

used to say something to my children, they act like they

12:06

were deaf. I tell them, I know you

12:08

heard me. Finally

12:11

they say, yes sir. They were trying

12:13

to act like they didn't hear me. You

12:15

know, have you ever gone through a time

12:17

that it seemed like God didn't hear

12:21

you? He

12:24

bouncing you. He said, my ear is

12:26

not heavy that I cannot hear and

12:29

my arm is not short that I

12:31

cannot say just because I didn't say

12:33

anything doesn't mean that I didn't hear

12:35

you. It

13:30

changes heart, but

13:34

we can do it. We

13:38

can change life. I

13:47

was driving up to North Dallas the other day

13:49

and I don't live up in North Dallas. I

13:51

get confused sometimes going up and I was on

13:54

the right road but I wasn't sure and I

13:56

got mad at my GPS system because it

13:58

was saying. nothing

14:00

at all. And

14:03

I had to keep on driving in the silence.

14:06

I wanted some reassurance. I wanted her to

14:08

say, you're on the right road. You're

14:11

getting close to your destination. I wanted her

14:13

to tell me that I was on the

14:15

right track, but she said, nothing at all.

14:17

She didn't speak again until it was time

14:19

to make a turn. Sometimes

14:22

God doesn't say anything until it's

14:24

time to make a turn. And you

14:27

have to keep on walking by faith

14:29

in the silence of God. I don't

14:31

know who I'm talking to tonight, but

14:33

if God ain't saying nothing, keep on

14:35

driving. If

14:38

God ain't saying nothing, keep on walking.

14:41

If God ain't saying nothing, keep on

14:44

preaching. If God ain't

14:46

saying nothing, keep on building. If

14:49

God ain't saying nothing, keep on

14:51

teaching. If God ain't

14:53

saying nothing, keep on reaching. If

14:56

God ain't saying nothing, keep on doing

14:59

what you were doing before, because

15:01

when you get to the turn, He'll tell

15:03

you in three more miles you'll make a

15:05

right-hand turn. Don't

15:08

mistake your silence for

15:10

not caring. In

15:13

essence, Jesus was trying to tell her, my

15:16

hands are tired. He

15:20

says, I tried

15:22

not to answer you, but

15:25

you crossed over the line. And

15:29

then I explained to you that I have not

15:31

come but to the lost sheep of

15:33

the house of Israel, but

15:36

you crossed over the line. What

15:39

kind of faith is this you've got, that woman, that

15:43

you keep crossing over the line? You

15:46

see, we serve a radical Jesus, and

15:49

He respects a radical people. And

15:52

this was a radical woman. She

15:54

wasn't even a spiritual woman. She wasn't even a

15:57

holy woman. She wasn't even a godly woman. But

15:59

by God, She lies, a

16:01

radical woman. I

16:03

know she was radical because she kept stepping

16:06

over the line. And

16:08

you must understand that faith will always

16:10

cross the line. It

16:13

will cross the line. I know I am

16:15

not a part of the lost sheep of

16:17

Israel, but I'm going to cross that line.

16:22

I know you're not speaking to me, but

16:25

I ain't going nowhere. I'm

16:28

going to cross that line. And

16:31

finally, he broke it down real blood. Have

16:33

you ever had people you tried to tell

16:35

them to go on? As my

16:37

old folks would say, gone now. You

16:40

tried to tell them to go on, but they won't go away. Finally,

16:42

he spoke to a real play, and he said,

16:44

it is not meat, it's not proper for me

16:48

to give the children's bread to

16:52

the dogs. My

16:55

God, he

16:58

called a desperate mama

17:02

a dog. It

17:06

is not meat to give the children's

17:09

bread. Let me stop a minute and talk

17:11

about the children's bread. The

17:15

children's bread takes me all the way back

17:17

to the wilderness when God sent manna down

17:19

from heaven. The

17:22

children's bread reminds me that God will feed

17:24

me no matter where I'm at. The

17:27

children's bread reminds me that I might be

17:29

hungry right now, but God is baking up

17:31

something that's got my name on it. The

17:35

children's bread lets me know that just

17:37

because I'm his child, there's bread for

17:39

my problem. The

17:41

children's bread reminds me that what God has

17:43

for me is for me. And

17:46

Jesus said, it's not that I don't have some

17:48

bread, but it's reserved. Have you ever gone in

17:50

a restaurant and you walked up to a table

17:52

and there was a little sign that said, reserved?

17:54

I want to tell somebody that's watching me right

17:57

now that God has a blessing that's

17:59

reserved for you. It's

18:01

got your name on it.

18:03

It's reserved for you. It's

18:05

the children's bread. Healing is

18:08

the children's bread. Deliverance is

18:10

the children's bread. Power is

18:13

the children's bread. Favor is

18:15

the children's bread. Deliverance

18:17

is the children's hope is

18:19

the children's... Oh, do you

18:22

hear what I'm saying? Are you a child

18:24

of the king? Oh,

18:26

I love those old songs. I'm a

18:28

child of the king. Comes

18:31

with rights and comes with privileges. Comes

18:34

with bread. Comes

18:37

with bread. Like

18:40

barbecued ribs and a hole in the wall.

18:44

Comes with bread. Like

18:47

hot bologna and a cast iron

18:49

skillet. It

18:51

comes with bread. The salvation

18:53

that we have comes

18:55

with bread. And

18:57

Jesus calls it the

18:59

children's bread. He

19:03

said it is not meat to

19:06

give the children's bread to

19:08

the dog. She didn't say she

19:10

was hungry. She

19:14

didn't say she wanted something to eat. But

19:19

Jesus calls healing bread.

19:27

Oh, my God, do you hear what I'm saying? Jesus

19:30

calls healing bread. Have

19:33

some bread. Our

19:36

Father, wish out in heaven, hallowed be thy

19:38

name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done

19:40

on earth as it is in heaven. Give

19:42

us this day. Give

19:44

us this day. That's what

19:46

I'm looking for. Give us this day. Our

19:49

daily bread. Have some bread. Are

19:53

you going through something? And you call

19:55

it, you need a healing and

19:57

God calls it bread. You

20:00

need a financial breakthrough and God calls it

20:02

bread You

20:04

need a word of direction and God calls it

20:06

bread Would you have

20:09

some bread? Have you ever listened down at the

20:11

table and the bread was on the table, but

20:13

it wasn't near you and You

20:16

had to say to somebody pass

20:18

the bread Yeah,

20:21

yeah, yeah when I see you getting blessed

20:24

it makes me want to say Pass

20:26

the bread Because

20:28

I know if he's got enough to give you bread He's

20:31

got enough to give me bread and I'm not

20:33

gonna hate on you because you got some bread

20:36

cuz it's on my table Too I just need

20:38

you to Pass

20:40

the bread God calls healing

20:43

the children's bread. That's why you got to

20:45

be careful who you hang around Because

20:48

you can't be hanging around a table full

20:50

of folk that have no

20:52

bread I Don't care

20:55

how rich they are. I don't care

20:57

how influential they are just because they

20:59

got money don't mean they got bread

21:03

You got to surround yourself with

21:06

people that have what you need

21:08

because what you need when you

21:10

need it is bread What

21:13

you need when you need it is

21:16

bread Whatever

21:18

it is you've been praying

21:20

about is bread and

21:23

the Lord wanted you to know I got

21:25

the bread The

21:28

question is are you eligible? for

21:31

the bread and The

21:34

law stood up in his face and said

21:36

no This

21:38

woman is not eligible for

21:42

the bread She

21:44

is coming from the coast

21:46

of Tyre and Sadat where you have

21:48

left and turn your back But

21:52

she chased you Is

21:57

there anybody out there prepared to chase God

22:02

Is there anybody out there prepared to

22:04

go where he is? To

22:06

get out of your way and say, I

22:09

won't let you go till you bless my

22:11

soul. I don't care if it

22:13

takes all night, I'm going to

22:15

stand right here till you do something for

22:17

me. I'm going to stand right

22:19

here till you restore my joy. I'm going to

22:21

stand right here till you restore my peace. I'm

22:24

going to stand right here till you give me my

22:26

house back. I'm going to stand right here till you

22:28

give me my daughter back. I'm going to

22:30

stand right here till I get my business

22:33

back. I feel a spirit of restoration in

22:35

this place tonight. I said I feel a

22:37

spirit of restoration tonight. Whatever trouble

22:39

is going on in your house, get ready for

22:41

it to be restored tonight. Whatever's

22:43

been on your heart, get ready for God to

22:45

restore it tonight. Whatever's been on

22:47

your mind, get ready for God to restore

22:50

it tonight. I smell bread in the room

22:52

tonight. My God, somebody pass

22:54

me some butter because I smell bread

22:57

in the house tonight. Whatever

22:59

the devil's been starving you from, starving

23:01

you from love and starving you

23:03

from peace and starving you from

23:05

favor, whatever he's been starving you

23:07

from, my

23:09

God's got the bread tonight. My

23:13

God's got the bread tonight.

23:16

If you can step over

23:18

your traditions, over

23:21

your religion, over

23:23

your region, over

23:25

your territory, over

23:29

his silence, and

23:31

yes, over his objections, this

23:34

woman said, yeah,

23:36

Lord, I'm

23:39

a dog. She

23:41

understood that the dog term meant not

23:44

something that walks on all fours, but

23:46

without a covenant. I

23:49

have no covenant with you. You

23:51

don't have to do this for me. She

23:55

said, but even the dogs can

23:58

eat the crumbs. that

24:01

fall from

24:03

their master's table. Look

24:06

at this woman. She

24:09

said, I got so much faith in you that

24:13

I didn't come all this way to

24:16

get the bread. I

24:20

settle for a crumb because

24:23

I know whatever is in the crumb

24:29

is in the bread. Is

24:31

this milk in the bread? There's

24:35

milk in the crumb. Is

24:37

this flour in the bread? There's

24:40

flour in the crumb. Is

24:42

this butter in the bread? There's butter

24:44

in the crumb. Is this healing

24:46

in the bread? There's healing in

24:48

the crumb. Is this deliverance

24:50

in the bread? There's deliverance in

24:52

the crumb. If there's hope in

24:55

the bread, there's hope in the

24:57

crumb. Whatever is in

24:59

the bread is in the crumb. Go

25:01

ahead and give your children the bread.

25:03

Just let me sit in your lap.

25:06

The Bible called them lapdogs. Lapdogs

25:08

would come up in the laps of their

25:10

master and just stay there with

25:12

their mouth open. I wonder is your

25:14

mouth open tonight? Lapdogs

25:18

would lay in the lap of their master

25:21

with their mouth open, waiting

25:23

for the crumbs that fell

25:26

from the master's table. She

25:29

said, I might be a heathen. I

25:31

might be a Phoenician. I

25:33

might be a Canaanite woman. I

25:36

might have come from an idolatrous background, but

25:39

I know how to open my mouth. Do

25:42

you know how to

25:45

open your mouth? Most people don't know how to

25:48

open their mouth to receive what God has

25:50

for them. They don't know

25:52

how to shout about it. They don't

25:54

know how to talk about it, but they don't know

25:56

how to open up and receive. She said, I may

25:58

not know anything else, I know how

26:01

to open my mouth and

26:04

the next problem that falls I got it.

26:07

There are some things that God said

26:09

to you that are frightening. It doesn't

26:11

make sense. You don't feel ready and

26:13

yet God's going to do it and

26:16

He told me to tell you it

26:18

is a faith thing. Block

26:20

out the noise and focus on faith for

26:22

your gift of any amount. You'll receive the

26:24

Rise and Shine set which includes 15 double-sided

26:27

cards to provide you with 30 days

26:29

of scripture and inspiration. You'll

26:31

also receive a Mira-Kling to remind you

26:33

to be bold every day. For your

26:36

gift of $90 or more, celebrate the

26:38

Easter season with this wooden cloth decor

26:40

piece that declares death has no power

26:42

26:44

and Shine cards and Mira-Kling, for your

27:08

future is empty. Time

27:11

is ticking away. Always

27:15

counting. Always

27:18

moving with moments and decisions that

27:20

are out of our control. It

27:22

is not a way. It's not a way.

27:27

You're aware of someone. You

27:30

can't do what you don't do. What

27:35

should you say? Should

27:38

you take a risk? Will

27:41

you stop? When

27:43

will you become the leader? Yes.

27:48

When will you seize your moment of action to change?

27:52

The spark. The time waits for no one.
