Deputized Authority
Luke 10:17-20
17The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name." 18He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
Greater Works
John 14:12
12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
A Dead Girl and a Sick Woman
Mark 5:21-43
21When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake. 22Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came there. Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet 23and pleaded earnestly with him, "My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live." 24So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed." 29Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. 30At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31"You see the people crowding against you," his disciples answered, "and yet you can ask, 'Who touched me?' "32But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering." 35While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," they said. "Why bother the teacher any more?" 36Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, "Don't be afraid; just believe." 37He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. 38When they came to the home of the synagogue ruler, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. 39He went in and said to them, "Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep." 40But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child's father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!" ). 42Immediately the girl stood up and walked around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. 43He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.
Points of Interest
1. When the kingdom of God is in operation as it’s designed, crowds gather. Some have desperate needs and some want to watch.
2. You see Jairus, a synagogue ruler exhibit subordinate honor in his desperate state. He believes Jesus has a solution to his daughter’s problem and she will be healed if he lays his hands on her. His desperation is heightened due to the gravity of the situation. I believe Jairus has faith for a healing but not for a resurrection. This is similar to the people around Lazarus.
3. The woman, bleeding is ceremonially unclean. She is therefore making everyone else she touches ceremonially unclean. It takes courage to press through the crowd.
4. Her thinking told her, “If you can touch his cloak you will be healed.” These thoughts and her desperation override her sensibilities.
5. She had an inner witness that she’d been healed.
6. Jesus sensed power going out from him.
7. Jesus asks “who touched me?” I believe he didn’t know the answer to the question. I also believe that Jesus was fully God but I believe he chose to empty himself of his “God the Father” properties. When Jesus knew things supernaturally about people he was operating in a word of knowledge gifting.
8. I’m sure Jesus was interested in who touched him in Faith.
Mark 5:34
34He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
9. People see physical death as the end. Jesus however ignores the words of the people that come with the bad news and says, “Don't be afraid; just believe.”
10. Jesus only allowed Peter, James and John to come with him when he was going to raise Jairus’s daughter.
11. The world will laugh at the irrational faith minister. What Jesus is about to do defies the “laws” that everyone is familiar with.
12. Jesus is selective of who he allows into the room allowing only the girl, her mother and father and his inner 3 disciples.
13. Jesus doesn’t pray for the girl but... 41He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!" ).
14. The girl is raised from the dead and Jesus gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this.
God awaken our understanding to move and flow in the deputized authority you’ve given to us, increase our faith and your authority in us so we can do the works you did.
