I have so many thoughts in my head right now. To stay out of the feedback, just... I feel like I'm home. We had such a great weekend, and just such open hearts. Beautiful host. Thank you, Daniel, for opening your house. It's just been such a gift. And Kevin, who did the worship—just great worship and very risky songs. I mean, "Shake my tradition, break my religion." I mean, that's a scary song to sing. You all sung that. Well, I'm assuming most of you did anyway. That's edgy, for sure.

And then Bear—holy cow. I don't know where he is, but just such a tender heart. And if we could tap into that place from which he was just sharing—just beautiful. I'm kind of overwhelmed right now. And I don't often feel this way, but I have 33 minutes, so I'll get going.

I want to start. How many of you were with us this weekend? Give me an idea—hands. Okay, so the rest of you, I'll catch you up real quick. In 1 John, I'll just read it to you, but it's important that you understand this as we move forward today. It says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." He, Jesus, the Word, was in the beginning with God. It says Jesus, the Word, was with God. He says it twice, and that word that we have translated, at least in English, "with," can also be translated other ways. Probably the best way, theologians argue over this, and they really say what he was saying is "God with God," and literally, literally breath to breath.

So what John is saying in his gospel, if you read my gospel, what you have to understand is if you see the Father, you see the Son, and if you see the Son, you see the Father. You can't separate them, pull them apart. They are distinct, but they're one. Particularly in his gospel, he says you've got to understand that Father and Son are one. You can't see one without the other. Jesus says, in the gospel of John particularly, "If you've seen me, you've seen my Father." Bear just told us this: "If you've seen me, you've seen the Father." I only do what I see my Father in heaven doing.

In and of myself, Jesus, fully God, fully man, not pulling on his divinity, he says, "In and of myself, I can do nothing." I mean, that's intense. But that which I see my Father doing, I only say what my Father says the way that he would say it. My doctrine, Jesus even says—I mean, if we argue about anything, it's doctrine. And Jesus says, "I don't even have doctrine. That's my dad's. I leave him to the doctrine."

So we see this life of Jesus, and Jesus, we often thought like he was an initiator, but actually, Jesus isn't initiating. He's actually following—following his Father. "My food," he says, "is to do the will of my dad." Crazy.

So we're going to look at a story, and I just prefaced it with all that. We're going to hit the pedal to the metal and move on. Normally, I have about 50 hours to talk to people, so, you know, we're reeling it in a little bit. We're going to be in Mark, Mark 5, the first half of the chapter. I'll sum it up in a few words. Jesus goes and he visits a place, and it's actually, ultimately, he releases the first Gentile missionary. His beginnings are a little strange. He was a demoniac. He was full of demons. He was in the graveyards where he lived, and he would be naked, and they would tie him up with chains, and he would break the chains.

He comes, he has this interaction with Jesus. We're not going to fully go into that, but he comes to the end, and really, he begs Jesus, "Jesus, take me with you." Like, I was the demoniac. I was the one that everyone was afraid of, but now everyone's afraid of Jesus. He was dressed rightly. He was speaking articulately, and they said, "Would you take him, and would you go? Can you guys get out of here?" And Jesus said to the demoniac, "Actually, you're going to stay. You're now the apostle, the bishop, whatever you want to call him. You're in charge of 10 Gentile cities. You're in charge." And he's like, "Well, what about ministry school?" "No, no, no, don't worry about it. Just go forth and tell your testimony. That's enough."

And so they get in the boat, and they go across the lake, and they come to this city. And in this city, there's verse 22: "One of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name, and when he saw him, he fell at his feet. And he begged him earnestly, saying, 'My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, that she may be healed.'" The word healed here is "sozo," healed, saved, healed, delivered—like complete healing, restoration, and she will live.

Now, there's a lot going on here. Jairus is on the wrong team. Like, if underneath here I told you I had a Toronto Maple Leaf jersey, maybe some of you would like that. But I'm assuming, maybe wrongly, most of you prefer the Canadians, no? Maybe I'm wrong. I had some intel. I could be wrong. But he was on the wrong team. Jairus was with the synagogue, who was with the religious of the time, who had decided they were going to kill Jesus.

Primarily, the end of the story, why they decided to kill Jesus—many reasons. He broke the Sabbath. He did a lot of things wrong. But the thing that really, really got him was he said something like, "Abba." He called Yahweh "Daddy." And they said, "Let's just, let's be clear. You're saying that Yahweh, which you can't even actually articulate, you can't write his name twice. You have to throw a pen away. If you write his name once, that pen can never be used again. Yahweh is your daddy? Yay. You're perfect. You got it. Okay. We're going to kill you."

So Jairus is on that team—the "we're going to kill you" team. He's not a priest. He's not a rabbi. He's probably like an accountant. But he's a man of stature in the city. He's certainly well known. And then we see him, wrong team. Jesus comes. There's a horde around him. His name—he's become famous. And this, it's not in the story, but this is how I understand it. See, Jairus goes and he breaks all protocol. He throws himself. This is an upstanding Jewish man, fully regaled. He was dressed to the T. Everyone in town knew who he was.

And what I believe—and again, this isn't in the story—but what caused him to be so extreme? We know he has a daughter who's very sick. But how I try to picture and put myself in the story, and what I imagine is that that morning before he went to work, his wife said something like, "Honey, I hear Jesus is coming. I don't care what you've got to do to get him home to our home, but you make it happen. Yeah, I don't care about your friends at work. No, I don't care about the people in town. Our daughter is sick, and she's on the point of death. If Jesus doesn't come, there's no hope for our daughter. And if our daughter dies, I don't know what's going to happen here. You make sure you get him to our house."

Jesus shows up on the shore, and Jairus throws himself at his feet like a child. "Unless you become like a little child, you cannot inherit the kingdom of God." He's very childlike, just kind of throwing himself before Jesus, saying, "Jesus." And he begs him earnestly, it says. So this is the most incredible line: "So Jesus went with him." Could you imagine? Like your daughter's at the point of death. You go, you throw yourself, you've ostracized yourself from all your family, all your friends. Everyone at work hates you now. But he's coming with you. If that was me, I would have been, "Jesus, hang on." I would have tucked his hand under my arm, and I would have started smashing through the people.

It says right here that "so Jesus went with him." And a great multitude followed him and thronged him. Now, do we know what the word thronging means? It's a crazy word. So what we're going to do is, it's as if we would put Daniel back in the back corner here, and then we would all smash into about right here—all of us, as tight as we could get, just smashing in, smashing in. And then we would say to Kevin, "Kevin, go touch Daniel." That's the equipment—just smashing. They say thronging was, I don't know if you've been in a mosh pit or you've been at the front of a concert where people are just pressing you, and you can barely breathe. That's what thronging is.

And so Jesus is smashed in with Jairus, and they're going to his house. And the disciples are there, and everyone's around. And the elation that had to be in Jairus is, "My wife is going to be so proud of me. My daughter is going to be healed. I just know this is the day." What joy must have been bursting from him.

And then the story takes a little turn. It says, "Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for 12 years." Just the 12 gives us a divine stamp in the story. We know that this is divinely orchestrated. Now, this woman, as she comes, she's had a blood issue for 12 years, so she's unclean. I'll just continue on. She had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather, she had grown worse.

And when she had heard about Jesus, she came behind him in the crowd and she touched his garment. For she had said, "If I may touch his clothes, I shall be made well. If I may touch his clothes, I shall be made well. If I may touch his clothes, I shall be made well." Now, again, you have to remember that Jesus is being thronged. Daniel smashed into the corner. This woman, and she's got blood issues, so she's been pressed out of community. She's not allowed to come to church. And superstition ran rampant in these days. If there was something wrong with you physically, the implication would be that there's something wrong with you and God. And so I don't want to be around you.

And so for 12 years, this woman has been kind of ousted from family, community, church—in those days, the temple. She couldn't be part and participate. And so she's outside of family. And now she's coming into a place where they're thronging the leader, the Jesus. And in her heart, she's saying, "If I just could get a hold of his garment, if I could just touch him, if I can just get near him, I will be made well." But she knows well that she can't touch him. She's unclean. If she touches a rabbi, he's unclean. I mean, there's consequences. But she's out of money. She's out of favor. She's out of hope. She says, "If I could just touch the hem of his garment."

And I always say, I always picture her like a head covering, and she's just... I don't know how you get from here to the corner, but she made her way. Whether she was on her hands and knees, however she got there, she got there. "If I may only touch his garment, I shall be made well." You see, she has this divine desperation—this divine desperation. She doesn't have any alternative. She doesn't have any other way to get through what she's been through.

Jairus is standing there with Jesus. And so she touches him. And it says, "If I may only touch." Verse 29: "Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction." Like she knew she was healed. She knew that she knew that she was healed. But then it gets crazy. It gets crazy. And Jesus, he was immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out of him, turned towards the crowd and said, "Who touched my clothes? Who touched me?"

And he looks at the disciples and said, "Guys, who touched me?" And the original language indicates that Jesus, like he didn't have this all-knowing, "I know who did it and I'm going to find you." No, he's genuinely looking through the crowd. We're all smashed in here, and he's saying, "Somebody touched me. Who was it?" And the disciples said, "Are you kidding? Like, we're getting thronged, dude. Like, who touched you? Everyone's touching you. We're all trying to touch you." And he goes, "No, no, no. Somebody touched me with intention. Who was it?"

I don't know if she heard him say this. Verse 32: "He looked around to see who had done this." But the woman, fearing, trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down. And she looked up and looked before her and told him the whole truth. She was transparent. She opened her heart. She said, "This is who I am and this is what I've done." What she had done, being unclean with a blood issue, she had contaminated him.

Again, we can't forget that Jairus is standing right there. The thought in his head is, "I've got to get you home. My daughter's dying. Without you, it's over for my daughter." And what he's experiencing, what I call it is a divine delay. You see, he was on a track. He knew where he was headed. He had confirmation from God himself. "I will go with you." I mean, that's, if you want confirmation, that's a good one. I don't know about you, if you've had a time in your life where you felt like, "I was on a track and I knew that God was with me." I had confirmation for those around me. Maybe you had a confirmation from the Bible. Maybe there were people around you confirming what God had said, and you get on your track and you start chugging along, and you're like, "This is what I was made for. This is my time."

I mean, if you can imagine how Jairus felt, like, I don't know what he thought it would look like going in that morning, but suddenly Jesus says, "I will go with you," and he's going through the throng. Like, that had to be a happy moment. And now there's this divine delay. Beloved, I believe there's some of us in this room that were on that track and it was going, and it seemed like everything was perfect. And then suddenly, and you can't even really explain it, that train that was on the track is now on the side, now on the tracks, and it's smashed and crumbled, and it's as if everything has gone awry.

And maybe there's some of those that come around you and say, "Yeah, I knew that wasn't right for you." We're going to get to that. So this woman, filled with fear. What does the Bible say about fear? How do we get rid of fear? Perfect love. Perfect love casts out fear. Who was she standing in front of? The embodiment of perfect love himself.

Now, remember I told you if Jesus said it, the Father would have said it exactly the same way. And so we've got to look at this conversation, and as Jesus begins to interact with her, we have to know this is the Father's heart towards this woman. But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him.

I have to think of, remember Adam and Eve? They walked in the cool of the evening with their father on a regular basis. That was their father. That was their routine. They walked with him. They talked with him. They had this wonderful life with the father. And then one day they ate of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and there was separation. And then that afternoon the father came to find them, and he said, "Adam, where are you?" "I'm hiding because I'm afraid." Afraid. I'm filled with fear.

And you see, when Adam and Eve ate of the tree, the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God didn't change. Adam and Eve changed. And yet they're treating God as if he's a different one coming towards him. Suddenly the perspective of him is very different. This woman, all she had known was religion. Religion had rejected her. Religion has told her that she is not viable. She is not worthy. She is not clean. Stay away from us.

And now she hits the pinnacle of religion. Let me take that back. She hits the pinnacle of love. Jesus did not come to create religion. He was the antithesis. He was the opposite of religion. And he still is today. She comes before love. And she's filled with fear because how religion has treated people is rejected. They weigh, they measure, and if you don't measure up, we're going to stone you to death. That's why she's full of fear. That's why she's trembling. And she's sitting before perfect love.

Watch. Now remember, if Jesus said it, the Father said it. She's laying at his feet. She's confessed. She said, "This is who I am. This is what I've done. I touched the hem of your garment." And then Jesus says this. He calls her "daughter." I mean, just, beloved, it doesn't matter who you are or what you've done. When we approach Jesus, even if it's full of fear, even if we're not sure, the first thing he's going to say, the first thing the Father's going to call you is, "You're my little child. Child, I love you."

Jesus didn't begin with rebuke. Jesus didn't say, "What have you done? I'm a rabbi, and you're unclean. What have you done? You've ruined God's plan." You know when a little child is just crying, and you just want to get eye contact and say, "Look at my eyes. Look at my eyes. Oh, I love you." That's Jesus. That's Jesus. He's down in the dirt with this woman who's been rejected. Everything she's done has not worked out. And now Jesus lifts her little head and says, "My dad calls you daughter. Who you are in our kingdom, in the kingdom that's going to endure forever, is you are a daughter of the Almighty."

And then he goes on. "Daughter, your faith has made you well." Now this word "well" is—you are saved, healed, delivered. You are completely done over. "Go in peace and be healed of your affliction. Your faith has made you well. Be healed of your affliction." And she goes. I mean, she was in the midst of the throng. She—I don't know how, if we tried, I don't know that we could reproduce it, but we could try. We could throng later. But she's free. She's free. Oh, like she's doing the hallelujah dance that we were demonstrated earlier. She's having the time. I mean, 12 years of being off track. 12 years of not knowing what's happened. 12 years.

But remember, Jairus is still standing right by the side. And he's looking at his timepiece, looking at the sun, going, "Right, it's... maybe, maybe she's good. Okay, can we, you know, let's, can we go to my house?" And it says, "While he was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house who said, 'Your daughter's dead. Why trouble the teacher any further?'" Like, you're going to die. Your daughter's dead. It's too late. Jesus, obviously, he's being thronged. He's got a lot to do. He's busy. Just let him do his thing. You have a thing to do now.

And for a ruler of a synagogue, he's got to hire wailers, people to cry out. He's got to provide food. He's got a lot of protocol to start walking through. Very quickly, the Jews, they bury their people very quickly. So there's a lot going on. And they're going, "Dude, come on. She's, your daughter's dead. Just leave Jesus alone. You got work to do."

That's when it all comes apart. When you think it's all rolling along great. And that's when the train's on the track side. And maybe there's some smoke. Maybe there's a fire. Maybe, and you're just thinking, "How am I going to get through this? How am I going to get this all done? Like, it's over." I mean, the word was, "Forget about it. It's over. You got stuff to do. It's over. She's dead."

I love Jesus. That's a good thing to say. He says it like this: "Listen to the words that he says." As Jesus heard the word that was spoken—and literally, the language is Jesus ignoring what was said—so Jesus, the man came to give the report, and Jesus went, "La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la." He didn't even listen to it. It said, "Jesus, ignoring what was said." He says, "Do not be afraid, only continue to believe. Do not be afraid. Just continue to believe."

He takes Jairus' little face. He says, "Keep your eyes on me. Keep your eyes on me. Forget about what you're hearing. Forget about your circumstances. Forget about that your train is smashed and crashed, and it looks like nothing is going to go forward from here. This is just a little divine delay. Keep your eyes on me, and continue to believe."

Oh, beloved, that is a word for some of you. There are some of you in this room who have this—you're in the midst of a divine delay. You can't even explain it. You were going down the tracks, and suddenly, suddenly, things weren't as they were. And even, and we'll see in a minute, those with superior knowledge have come around you and said, "Whatever you were doing, it wasn't probably of the Lord. Maybe you should just give it up. Maybe you should get rid of that dream."

And I can't tell you whether that dream in your heart, whether that dream you had with God still remains. That's between you and the Lord. But I believe that God today, that in the kingdom, when there's a death, there's also always a resurrection. "Do not be afraid, just continue to believe."

And he permitted nobody to follow him except for Peter, James, and John, and the brother of James. And he came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue and saw a turmoil and those who wept and wailed loudly. Now, I've said this, but it's commonplace for particularly, like the poorest of the poor would hire one wailer, it says. In old manuscripts, but Hebraic tradition would insist that he would have many wailers, being of his stature that he was.

And when he came in, he said to them—this is Jesus speaking—"Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but she's sleeping." The child's not dead, but she's only sleeping. And now the crowd turns on Jesus, and they begin to ridicule him. Beloved, if you have fearless faith, there is going to be resistance. When we step into fearless faith—and that's what Jesus was asking Jairus to do. He said, "Ignoring what was said, keep your eyes on me. Do not be afraid. Continue to believe. Just continue to believe."

And so Jesus has this assault, and they begin to ridicule him. But what's ridiculing Jesus and Jairus and the boys is this superior knowledge. And superior knowledge throughout the Bible, it's mentioned several times, but this superior knowledge is the knowledge of the world. And so there's this contrast between the world's knowledge and divine knowledge—the world's reality and the kingdom of God's reality. Jesus said, "She's only sleeping." And the mockers say, "Are you kidding me? She's dead." And they're mocking the Christ.

They ridiculed him, but when he had put them outside, he took the father and the mother of the child and those who were with them and entered where the child was laying. Then he took the child by the hand, and again, she's dead. A man of God in this day, you can't, in a way, you can't interact with dead. So for the second time in the same day, Jesus is breaking protocol. He reaches out and touches her. And he touches the little girl and he says—he calls her "little lamb."

And we know if Jesus said it, the Father would say the same thing in the same way. Our Father says to this little girl, he calls her "little lamb." "Arise, little lamb. Get up, little lamb." And instantly, she's healed. The girl arose and walked, for she was 12 years of age. Again, this 12 years, this divine stamp on her life. And it says, "And they were overcome with great amazement."

Sometimes the Bible underscores things or understates things. Remember when Jesus walked in through the wall, the disciples are hiding in John 20, and they're all hiding for fear of the Jews, afraid Jesus has just been killed. The tomb is empty. Mary has met him, and they're all hiding. And then Jesus walks through the wall, and it says, "And they were glad." But the word "glad" is the same word that's used here—amazement. But the word is actually much closer to the word "ecstasy" or "they lost their minds." They went nuts. They went crazy.

Like sometimes we just miss it by a little bit. "Little lamb, rise." And then Jesus at the end, he says something interesting. He says, "She should get something to eat. She's probably hungry. She's been dead." Can't explain that to you. One of the things that's highlighted in the story is that it doesn't matter your stature. It doesn't matter who you are in society even. Like the greatest, the ruler of the synagogue, the highest in stature in the whole society. And then compared to a woman.

Now a woman in first-century Judea didn't have a great status. She had to walk behind her husband several steps. She had to keep her head covered or she was considered possibly a prostitute. So she didn't have great. But this wasn't just any woman. This was a woman with blood issues for 12 years. She's already been kicked out of everything. She's ostracized. She's all by herself. But yet Jesus comes and he meets the highest and the lowest in the same way.

I think we're about ready, Kevin. We're going to land here. There's a couple things I want to pray for this morning, and then we'll open up for prayer for any of you that would want prayer. One of the things is this idea of divine delay. There's some of us that have been on a track in the past, and we can't really explain it, but there's been a delay in that plan that we were walking out with the Lord. And the train got off track. Whether it burned or not, I can't tell you. But there was this divine delay.

And what Jesus is saying to you is that dream is not dead. It was only sleeping. Only you can tell whether that's still stirring in your heart. But I believe for some of you today, the Lord wants to resurrect that—that it wasn't dead. It was just sleeping. That it was just a divine delay. It was just set aside. And we can give all kinds of reasons, but the delay is still there.

And often when we have this fearless faith, when we are stepping out, the mockers came. The superior knowledge of the world came, and it pressed against Jesus. And what he had already said, "She's not dead. She's just sleeping." And then the mockers just attacked him. Beloved, that's some of you in this room, and that's been your experience. And we want to pray for you today that it's not dead. That it's not dead. That it's just been sleeping.

Second, I have trouble believing that God doesn't want to heal some of you. Every time I tell this story, I can't help but remember my own daughter who died just a handful of years ago. And anyone you could ever think of or imagine came and prayed for her. And oftentimes the Lord would give people dreams, and they would come across the country, and they would come to our house, and they would pray for her.

And in a real way, we sat in the angst of knowing a God that heals and also a God who's divine and knows the number of our days. And in the midst of that, 10 years that we walked with our daughter in sickness, we saw hundreds of people healed of every disease you can imagine. And so in the end, it's him. He's the healer. He's the one that if I may only touch the hem of his garment, I may be healed.

Beloved, it's enough to just touch the hem of his garment. And maybe today, there's some of you that will go through the throng and touch the hem of his garment and be healed. So I just want to pray for us corporately. And then if you're feeling you're in either one of those two categories, you're in the right place—the divine delay, or that you want to touch the hem of his garment.

What Jesus said to that woman is, "Your faith has made you whole today. Your faith has made you whole. Now go and live your life in freedom." Our Jesus, he makes us whole. Bear gave just such a beautiful picture this morning. In Christ, the bloodshed—he gave his life so that we would have life.

Father, I just thank you that you're loving each and every one of your kids. And you call us little lamb. You call us daughter. You call us son. Father, your desire this morning is to run to each and every one of your sons and daughters. Father, even right now, right where you're sitting, you can just receive love. Our Father, the Father, almighty God, the creator—the creator of all things. He's here with us.

And all you have to do is say yes. "I receive your love, Papa. I receive your love." It's just you and him. Just you and him. As you just say yes, "Daddy, Papa, Father, I receive your love." Oh, beloved, he comes running. He's running to you. He takes your face in his hands and he says, "My little lamb, my son."

Oh, Father, there's some in this room with a divine delay. And we're asking you, Father, that they would begin to hear the words that it, she, is not dead, but it's just sleeping. Father, you know the right ones to stir. And we just trust you, Father, with stirring the hearts that are in the midst of a divine delay.

And, Father, I believe that there's some here today that are to step out of the delay and step into the ecstasy—to step into the beauty of continuing to walk with you. And despite the superior knowledge of the world, that you have a higher way, you have a better way. And we lean and trust you.

And, Father, there's those in this room that need physical healing. Right now, in the name of Jesus, you can be healed right where you sit. You don't have to stand up to get healed. You don't have to come forward to get healed. He is the healer. And so, Father, we just, in the name of Jesus, by the blood of Jesus, we release healing across the room.

And if that's you, feel free to come forward for prayer. And if you're in the midst of this divine delay, we invite you to come forward for prayer. But we just bless this church, Father. We bless this house. We bless the children that gather here and worship you. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Amen.
