How can I have great faith- Matthew 15:21-28
Great Faith is spiritual
21 Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”This lady here- (and we don’t have the back story) has realized that the problem that her daughter is having is a demon possession- she goes so far as to say “severely demon possessed” And some people would argue that back then they didn’t understand mental issues like we do today- That may be true- what is also true is that demon possession is real and you can’t fix a spiritual problem with a physical solution. It doesn’t work that way. Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.2 Corinthians 10:3-4 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,We see many times in the Gospel that Jesus healed and delivered people from the power of the DevilI was a psych major- I did mental health in the Army. I know the diagnoses and I know the medicationsThere’s many people I know- even in this church who take drugs for mental stuff. No condemnation. I also know that everything isn’t a medical problem. Everything can’t be fixed by medicine. It just cantWhat this woman figured out was her daughter was demon possessed and the only way for her daughter to be delivered was to come to Jesus- Only Jesus could deliver her daughter from this Demon possession- She came to Jesus in Faith, believing that she could be delivered from her possessed situation. This is a woman that understands the spiritual component of life. Many people do notThere has been a push over the past few centuries to minimise the spiritual. To make everything physical. There’s a balance here between pragmatism and spirituality. There’s not a demon on your body when you don’t take care of it. You are not under attack. But also- everything isn’t going to be fixed by a doctor (doctors just make the body work) John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.What does it mean to youAre you discounting the spiritual component of your life and only focusing on the physical?Are there things in your life that you need to have Dr Jesus come in and deliver you from?First step- get saved- 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.If you’re not saved in here this morning- you might think I’m a nutball- its ok. Get saved. 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
I’ve seen people delivered from Demonic influences- minds changed- clear discernmentI’ve prayed demons out of my house- (trouble in 2019 praying over the church) Here’s what I know-Romans 8:5-8 READI know theres a spiritual component to life- I want Jesus in that realm. I know that I have a spirit body1 Corinthians 15:44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.I know I have the spirit of God- 1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.I know that I’m supposed to live in the spriit Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
