in your presence, there is fullness of joy, there is liberty, there is freedom. Thank you for life you have given on Torah's. And thank you for sending us to your Godry to share your victory, to share your blessing. And we are thanking you for this salvation of our country and so on Jesus.
Thank you for your word I want to listen to. Thank you that we read meaning in Torah's. We don't want to read only the letters. We want this spirit to read meaning in Torah's.
And very true for your truth is in your word. Thank you for all you've done for us. Amen. Good morning, Noah.
We are just here to read the scripture. And we have a message that is tied to today, I try to measure us miracle. And the power of having faith in God. And the power of having faith in God.
If we check the four gospel, three of them are called synoptic gospel. Synoptic is the Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Synoptic in the sense that they have the full descent pattern. Their stories are in that line.
The full gospel that make it for is not synoptic, that is John. They all for gospels. Specifically, they enumerated many miracles, many deeds, many wonders performed by Jesus. But that is seven words actually singled out.
All of the miracles, decide the other small pockets of miracles that were performed by Christ. All they did was to unveil Jesus's ease. And they were pointing out or pointing towards the salvation of man. And how Christ we serve man.
And if we take it back to even the Old Testament, in Leviticals 4 to down the line, when the Lord were given, everything we are pointing down or pointing to the Savior of Christ. So cumulatively, we know that the Old Testament and the New Testament are pointing to one. Savior, that is Jesus Christ our Savior. And we want to start from John.
John made an infatuated statement in John 1411. The person that was talking speaking here is not me, is Jesus. So when we see me, Jesus talking. He said, believe me that I am and the Father and the Father in me.
Or even if you don't believe that, believe me for my work sick, for the miracles I have performed. And this discussion came, if you read from John 14 from one down when the disciples, Jesus was communicating with the disciples. And at a time down to eight, Philip, in Tangeite, I said, how are you always talking about Father? Father, how do we know the Father?
Tell us. I just say, Philip, you don't even know now. And I know that Philip is not, he doesn't want to ask. They are not that many of them might not even know.
You say, you are talking about the Father. You have seen the Father because if you have seen me, you have seen the Father. That is when he made this intention. And when we start looking on the miracles performed by Jesus Christ, we say that we have made, it's not an assumption apart from the other small pockets of miracles that were performed by Christ, that is seven.
We are enumerated in the four gospel, three of them because we are synoptic. They follow the same pattern. John, the other among each of them, among the three synoptic, Mach, the greatest highest. What we are going to read from a particular chapter of us, which is Mach 8 because it has to have to have five or six of the miracles performed by Christ.
And from here, we take it. We are not going to finish it. I don't want to be able to discuss it at all, too. That I have the question.
In the book, I open up my book to Mach 8, one, two, the last of the guys who are going to study. But according to Mach 8, can anybody, can we name the miracles that we are performed by Christ? The amen miracles that we are performed by Him. It should not be in the chronological order.
It should not be in order just miracles performed by Christ. There are Mach 8, one, two, the end each chapter. Wind, obey Him, recognize natural, phenomena, natural, and freedom, obey Him. We have to assist miracles that we are doing there.
So that is why I took this chapter because at least it gave us an insight. But these are the miracles that I pointed. The other ones, the lepers were cleaned in Mach 4. The lepers died.
We are cleansed. The other one is the seventh, the century and seventh. The other one is the fever, the fever, the fever, the fever, the fever, the fever, the fever, the fever, the fever, the fever, the fever, the fever, the fever, the fever, the many, because there are many 2D ones that we are doing here. This one, that is what He said, the natural phenomena.
This one was canned. And the last of it is that restarts 2D monposers men. These are the miracles that we are performed. The other question we have is that, the other question that we have is what are the notable similarities?
Which we are going to handle is that each of the miracles that is just performed fit was utterly required. Why I try to enumerate them like this is because at times I'm being misunderstood because of my ascent. So I try to, even if my ascent is deviating, we can read it well. I'm an Adilient.
So, so fate was required. And there was a divine authority in each of the miracles. There was a divine authority of Jesus. And compassion was shown.
Jesus was shown compassion. And there was an instant result because of that authority that was restored on Him. And that authority was given to us. And Jesus' power was actually demonstrated.
However, there are still some differences that we can see. One of them, Jesus' exercise a physical touch. He never needed to touch the touch to show some that he can do that. He is willing.
The other one, he said it by distance. Don't go. That's what he said. I don't need to be there to see demonstrate that authority has.
And natural forces will build Him. If you win, the stuff that you decide, what manner of man is this? That even the wins, the natural color is about to Him. That was who he was or who he is.
Now, let us start starting with, I don't pick two because we cannot finish it. Jesus Christ cleansed the leper. We are taking it from Matthew because of time. I see it from Luke because Brother Luke gave a brother view.
He gave a brother view of how this stage in my world when Jesus made the money. It wasn't that idea. It wasn't that idea. It was some thought on the body or there was some suspected leper.
No, it was fully covered. So because of time, let us read. Matthew ate one to four NKJV action. When Jesus came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.
And behold, the leper came down and worship Him, saying, Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean. Then Jesus put out his hand and caught Him saying, I am willing, be cleansed. Immediately, his leper was clean. And Jesus said to Him, see that you tell no one, but go your way.
Show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded us. Test money to them. This thing is just as the man to go and show himself is if we go down to read the book of astronomy for an eventical, you see all the appeasing. How to appease?
If you touch somebody, if you touch a dead person, if you are a leper, even the way you are healed, the sacrifices that you need to pay for you to be cleansed. And Jesus is the priest of his. He is our great priest. He is the high priest.
But he asked them to go and show them, the priest, the chief priest himself was asking them to go and show himself to the priest. Then look, don't forget the brother of you and it happened when he was in the statistic Jesus was in the statistic that you heard a man who was full of leprosy. So why I chose that, that much of the man was the look went for the total that is not just an ordinary cover. You talk about what he was covered.
So Jesus and he fed on his face and employed him. Say in law, if you are willing, you can make me clean. Then he put out his hand and touched him saying I am willing, be cleansed. Immediately the leper said left him, immediately the leper said left him and he charged him to tell no one but go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded.
However, the report went around concerning him all the more and great multitude came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infinities. So he himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed. This gospel or this encounter is enough to display that Jesus is the Messiah that is used by the way of his son. Because it was recorded apart from Mary and Moses sister because of complaining that the woman was covered and the name and no history, but it was recorded in the history of anybody being cleansed again.
Apart from Mary and that, both of them were in order to testament. Jesus performed something that I have never done before and actually the mind that came, it had in my middle. You know that Jesus is capable. You know that Jesus is capable.
His willingness is what he was doubting. Why say Jesus? If you are willing, this is Jesus, if you are capable, if you are willing. So we have a willing father.
We have a loving father. I thank God for the hymns, all these songs we sang this morning, all these pointing out about God's willingness. He bore the road. He beat the shame just for Rose to get our salvation.
And we are still that way. We have a right standing in Christ, not in the world. We have a right standing in Christ. So what is the significance?
I know I like to determine in case if anybody didn't hear anywhere. So the leper was fully leprosy, not just partially. Like I said, it wasn't that there was a response. It was full of the man was covered.
Lepersy is a feature of a sin. The Bible said that even when before our boy said all have sinned, all, all, not so, not you, not many, all, and because of that, we came short of God's glory. They're true service, true Christ, true, he sacrificed on the cross. We are cleansed.
And the beauty of it is that they are blessed to worship him. Because when you are in the Old Testament, somebody that has lepersy, you don't need to associate with anybody. You don't need to go near anybody. You don't even need to associate with anything.
Let me say the common word of people that I held, no, you have to distance yourself. And even when you are proclaimed healed, so people with stupid suspicious, are you sure that I is healed, but look at what Jesus did. The Bible recorded that instantaneously the man was cleansed or the man became cleaned. And look, look at that.
How do we know that? That the man was full of lepersy. Everything was covered. So even it doesn't take more taste to carry out that somebody that was covered with lepersy.
You are seeing everything as a new born baby. The body. So that is enough to show that Christ himself is the Messiah. You got to wait for the Messiah.
And the Lord that was given on the Old Testament was pointing to Jesus. The decision is, they were talking about his soft hand. He said, Jesus, and now Jesus came and did that. We are once fully lepersy and that in our same way Christ, through the sacrifice on the cross, we have been drawn near no one that is coming to me or you that are heavy-laden.
And we give you rest. That is where he is. Leper was on touchable, you know. Lepersy or leper, we are touchable.
Physical contact alone, we condemn the person. Because even in the Old Testament, if you come here, a lepersy person or someone that is lepersy, there are two things. You may either be contacted and you are self-depressing himself, when you come leper. And you have to be ostracized.
You have to be pushed aside. That is one. Another one is that we know that medically, other medical, if we go and read the books, you know that lepersy is a very dangerous thing. In terms of medical, let's forget about that religion.
Medical, lepersy is very, very dangerous. And when we talk about that, we say that, knowingfully, well again, that when the person is lepersy, you can't engage with anybody. With me that socially, you have been degraded. You have been degraded.
You have been ostracized. You have been banished. Because nobody wants to contact it. That is what Jesus taught.
To show the man one that is commanded by the dead, that is the ability, that that willingness he taught the man. And he was never contacted. He was never infested. He taught the man instead, his health was transferred to the man.
And that is on the cross. He died. And his righteousness was inputted into those. And our sin will not even affect Jesus.
That he cleansed from our sin. Because that is the implication here, that the man was cleansed. The leper could not transfer the place to Jesus. It would be Jesus transferred to the man.
That is the power of Christ. And that is the power of Christ. Jesus proved his willingness. Because you know that the American said, I'm dangerous.
He just lead the filing. In terms of the Jews then, they believe that once you are associated with anybody that is lepersy or leper and you become lepersy or you cannot even worship with these relights. So you are socially, or you are, before you do that, first of all, you have to be healed. And after that, you have to perform your ceremonial sacrifice, for you to be accepted into the common moment.
But go to the book of Roman. But we said before, we have no hope. We have no peace. We have nothing.
We are Christ, draughted us into the common weight of those that have believed. Those that have been sanctified. But if I said he does that, he does that, he is not sanctified. You are the same.
So it is truly sacrifice. And we can lay it, and we can trace it to one of these miracles, that God has cleansed us. Then by touching him, Jesus was willing to cleanse him. And he just never became uncleans.
Other king might have as well touched from the distance. Say now you are cleaned. Go, you are healed. But for Jesus to demonstrate that he has the power, the ability and the willingness he tries to take.
And that gave you the love to the man, that at least he can worship. He can worship Christ as close as that. So Jesus is not great, because no one actually identifies with the leprosy. But Jesus finished work at the cross, and is greater than Adam sin.
That is Roman 515-19. And Jesus is greater than the Levitical priesthood. He said that he became our great high priest forever, according to the order of Meccusitic. That is Hebrew 7, 21, and 28.
Let us study another healing that is the way we stop of Jesus. Jesus healing the centurion, Savant. And that is taken from Luke, Matthew 8, 5, to 13, and Luke 7, 1 to 10. And when Jesus was entered into companion, they came unto him, a centurion.
Deceaching him and saying Lord, my servant lied at home sick of parsing. Grivios little minted. And Jesus said unto him. And we come and hear him.
He said, you don't answer and say, Lord, I am not worthy. Let us mark this, Lord, I am not worthy. That should have come under my roof, but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having so just under me.
And I said to this man, go, and he goeth. And to the other, another, come, and he commit. And to my servant, do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus had eat, he marveled and said to them, to them, to them that followed.
Veryly I say unto you, I have not found such great feet. No, not in Israel. And I say unto you, that many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness.
There shall be weeping and glashing of teeth. And Jesus said unto the centurion, go that way. And as that has believed, so be he donned unto thee. And his servant was healed in the same, in the same hour.
Let us go to Brother Luke. Now when he has ended all he's saying, in the audience of the people, he entered into communion. And the certain sentience servants, who was there unto him, was sick and ready to die. And when he had, when he had of Jesus, he sent unto him, the elders of the Jews.
This is a sentience, this is a sentience hymn that he would come and heal his servants. And when they came to Jesus, these are the elders, the Jews. That was how they might have had this particular time. These elders, they didn't believe in Christ.
They were antagonizing Christ. They were totally against Christ because of his teaching. But a sentience now, the elders are not coming because of the sentience they love. Why?
Because he has built an agal for them. He loved them. He helped them. In the many things, he's sentience.
He's not sending the Jews. And when he was, okay now, and when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying that he was worthy for whom he should do this. They said that the man was worthy, the self-demand, he's worthy, what the? What the?
What the? What the? What the? What the?
He's worthy, for he loved it our nation. And he had built us a synagogue. This is a man that is Shiva, he's worthy. He loves.
But he loved himself was reduced. But he didn't identify with his love. We said that Christ. Then Jesus went with them.
And when he was now not far from the house, the sentience sent friends to him, to him, Lord, trouble not I said, for I'm not worthy. He just said that the guy was worthy, of course. the main or the central attitude we are present, not to do so that you should not come that he himself is not worthy, that that should enter under my roof. Therefore, neither thought I, myself, wanted to come unto thee, but say in a word, am I so much of a heard, for I also am in man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, go, and he goeth, and to another common, and he commit.
And so this is what is happening here. Why I decided to pick on Luke is that Luke went astramar to tell us that we must send the elder to Jews. Jesus didn't have brought the name of the Jesus. But the central one, which is the Gentiles, believe Christ, that Jesus brought the Jews never believed.
And they gave praise to the man, that they didn't give Christ. But the person that they were given, according to the person, they were praising, went and gave all the praise to God. Our times in the end of the office, they said, you did my fellows. He's very, as a Christian, yeah, we can say, trans be to God, because that's the issue of I, I did it.
It was my, it was, I, in short I read. And I, it was, I did all. The Bible said, what, any man that puts his strength, his strength, what, any man that puts his trust on me. And because we don't fail, not like we fail.
You are as part of the time we fail. You are as part of the time we fail. It is only God. So many, some people may take advantage of that, you are being praised.
Yeah, it's good for you to appreciate them. That as a Christian, we should turn it out, it is by the mercy of God. I tell you to God, God helped. However, when a, a word now that's, when you say so, people will take you out that is religious, is religious, that it is God has given all the power.
It is God that gives all the power to make wealth. So all we have achieved is through Christ, because in him we live, in him we move, in him we have our being. So because of time, this is what the man said. You have authority from God.
The man told Jesus that, they might try to use words, the level is opportonome to link it to your mighty. He said, I'm a man on the authority. One, I have people under me. Two, when I order to do this, they do.
If I order to go here, they go. Jesus, you have a high authority, which is God. I know what he, no, they told you that I'm a worthy guy. I'm not worthy for you to even come.
That is the implication of what the man is saying. I know they must have told you that I'm worthy, that I'm not worthy of you, I'm worthy. If, Bill, that I just have 100 people under my control, and they do what, if I order to kill the weak, because of my order, and because of me being human, I don't have anything, what of you, on that God, tell my servants to get healed. I believe that he would do it because my, my servants, although don't tell me, they don't deserve any when I order to do anything.
And I know what is the implication I say that with a higher authority, if you say it same, it will come to pass. And that is what happened. The scripture said that, who has spoken and it comes to pass if Almighty God have not said it? And I said, how did he say it and never perform it?
Once he said it, he's there to perform it. That is what the implication with faith. The man has absolute trust and faith in Jesus. The question is not is the ritual.
Do we have absolute trust in God? Do we have that trust in God? In our breaking of bread today, our brother and brother are told us about love, having undeluted love. Because our times when we try to define it, both love and faith, we try to use the disharing meaning.
If you want to define love, we define Christ. If you define Christ, what Christ is to us, and what God is, you know that love is just Christ, wisdom is just Christ. And just to have faith, have faith not as if, have faith on the finish work of Christ. That is what we are going to do.
The man has absolute faith. That is, I shouldn't believe that Jesus was empowered to hear by our authority. That he should just speak the word. That was spoken by God, it is settled.
In Nigeria, when I was in a, the idea was normally sing a good song. I know that the person that composed it meant well. But the issue was that even as I was growing up, I turned out it is with my own parts that we make the word of God be competent. God said it, I believe it.
And when you come, you'll be a club, I believe it. God said that's such a good song. So you see that this song actually is a good song. But where people will be misled is that it is, you are God's settled, or you are God's settled, or you are God's settled, is not my belief.
Whether we believe it or not, the word of God is settled. The word of God said, he said that you are healed. If you don't believe it, you have excluded yourself from the dark common weight of healing. That doesn't mean that Mr.
Ed, I believed it, it's not going to be healed. So the issue that God said is world, he said I sent my word and healed it. So God sent for this world, and that's the truth. It's our own point now, having received Jesus, to start to start the scriptural.
Those that as John 14, we read, that said Jesus said that, I mean, the Father, the Father, if you see my Father, if you see me, you have seen my Father. Anything I say is true, my Father. Even if you don't believe that, for that's the key loan, believe in what you are seeing now, the miracles that I'm performing. And I know that Philip and Audia post, they went to him believing.
So the issue is that we should believe in the world. Even if we are not believing, we should believe what the worksick that Christ did, for going to cross and giving us salvation, it's enough for us to believe. Jesus declared that it would happen at the century that we don't believe. We must get to this place in our hearts, where we believe that God says, what God says.
Without the law condemning him, and making him feel unworthy. He just had great faith in Jesus. Without any doubt, that all things were possible to Jesus, even healing by speaking his word. That world of Christ is still what we have today.
And in our main meeting yesterday, we are reading the book of Art 19. The brother said that the beauty of it, or is that not everybody has Bible, even in your phone. You have many translations. You have many that are written in different languages.
So you can even play it while you're going. So if the Old Testament people could not get a number of what scripture is saying, we are inexcusable, we have it all. You have it in different version for you to listen. What is our path in this, our discussion?
The multitudes came to hear Jesus first, because we have to hear the scriptures. We have to hear the scriptures. It's not the word of God is no magical. The word of God is based on what you hear.
And that is why faith is called faith. Come by you, hearing the word of God. Hear what Jesus says. And without you wrong, you have faith.
Keep on growing. It is the word of God. After hearing the word of God. You see, anytime Jesus enters the synagogue, he's spreading gospel.
He's spreading the word of God before everything is being done. Even on that day, he found that he read the scripture for the most of the earth. Everyone's hearing. And what is it teaching?
He's teaching the gospel. There's only one gospel. Christ was born. Christ lived.
Christ was crucified. He resurrected. And he's still living. The gospel is everything concerning from Christ's death.
So he's living, so he's being crucified, so he's resurrection and today. Anything apart from that, without that, Paul said that if any man can't complete any other gospel, other than he won, then we know we should not take it. So the scripture is that the multitudes came by faith. Come by hearing and hearing the word of God.
The second one is that if we still have unbelief. In Mark 929, Christ and can't tell the man, and all the man who shout was Christ, Jesus, please help my unbelief. That does not mean that the man have seen his state. It doesn't mean that the man does not know Jesus, that he doesn't be bad on belief what's happening.
Just like at the time, I was supposed to say, will we deliver me from this? He said, thank you, Jesus, for saving me. So the man asked Jesus to help his unbelief. That if we still have unbelief, keep hearing the about Jesus and how God's law is manifested through him.
Immediately the father of the child Christ to the, that is the scripture I gave, Mark 929. So the issue is that, yeah, we may not have Jesus performing, being in sin, Jesus, life, performing, miracle today, but we have gotten brothers here that we pray with. On Thursday, we are meeting. Pray for your singlings, pray for your, for your brethren.
We can pray and teach with them. You got that to see the word of God. You can go for evangelism and pray for somebody. Somebody may be in the idea, corrupted state, a world of God that you give, instead of gossiping, you go extra money to controlling the person.
In every day, they say that the Lord have gone down to them in the likeness of men. That is because of the preaching that the poor did in his definition of his journey. For them, because he didn't do anything, he just freed the world. And after what we have convinced in them, that he exclaimed that the Lord have condemned to them in the likeness of men.
Christ did not come down. They didn't see any God, but they see Christ living in the fall because of his words. They have said that the entrance of God word, of the word of Christ, bring it life. So Christ did marry me, Rock, Lord, Lord.
He did many, he did many wonders. And maybe each time we'd be checking it one by one and studying the scripture, all we have done this morning is to read the scripture together, and I believe that we have blessed.
