Matthew 9:18-26



Do you believe Jesus? That he will do for other people? That he will do for you? Have you made room for him?



“She will live” In the beginning of this story- we see a ruler that comes to Jesus and worships himInteresting to note- That Jesus did not stop this ruler from worshipping him- why? Because he was God in the flesh. He accepted people’s worship because he was God. Lets join the story18 While He spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.” 19 So Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His disciplesThis ruler, whomever he was- saw and heard of Jesus and he put his faith in Jesus that he could heal his daughter-  This man- however powerful and influential he may have been- knew- Jesus can do it. My daughter- she will live- all I need is for Jesus to just come and lay a hand on herThe Bible doesn’t say it- but I like to think that people in the OT had to have known a bit of scriptureMaybe- Psalm 42:5-6: Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.Somehow- this man knew where he needed to put his faith- and it was in JESUS- and watch this- it wasn’t even for himself- it was for his DAUGHTER. End of his rope- no where to turnHere’s the belief- it wasn’t even for himself- it was for SOMEONE ELSE. He BELIEVED for SOMEONE ELSES Miracle- A dead person who had no life that couldn’t believe for themselvesJob 42:10 And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.







What does it mean to youAre you praying for your friends and family in faith? Are you believing that God can heal them?This week- Daneysha surgery- working on this sermon- SHE WILL LIVE- SHE WILL LIVEI was believing God for her this whole week- While she was in surgery- SHE WILL LIVEI’m her pastor- What do you think her husband was believing? SHE WILL LIVE James 5:16 says The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.I’m not exactly sure what fervent prayer looks like- but I’m guessing its powerful. Paul admonished Timothy to pray- to believe and pray for all men- 1 Timothy 2:1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,In ephesians too Ephesians 6:18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—There are people who either- cant or wont pray for themselves and believe for themselves- believe for them- pray for them- speak SHE WILL LIVE over them- believe Jesus CAN and WILL. Did Jesus not say-  John 14:13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.I believe that scripture- I believe that Jesus hears my prayer- I put my faith in him- I believe that he can and will move in peoples lives- I know it- I have seen it- There are have been seasons of my life where the Devil has taken up a mission upon my wife- Many years ago- I was plumb tired of it and went into a fast for 3 days for Romans 12:12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;







“I shall be made well” 



The next part of this story is great- You’ve probably heard it before- Its oft spoken of 20 And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. 21 For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” 22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.
