Outside Voices 🗣️👂😰

Mark 5:34 (KJV) And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. 

All seemed great, this woman with no name was healed. With all the excitement there is bad, no awful news coming, no this news is davistating.  

Mark 5:35 (KJV) While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? But wait a minute, don't stop too soon, don’t listen to the outside voices. If you do, you'll lose all hope. Jesus knows who touches His hem of His garment. He also hears the voices of discouragement spoken to you to get you to lose hope in the purpose. Mark 5:36 (KJV) As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. As soon as Jesus heard He refreshes the purpose”Be not afraid, only believe.” This is a hard thing to do when the doctor says for you to get things in order many lose all hope. Here’s why we shouldn’t lose hope. My dad had a close friend, they had been friends since they were kids. The doctor told him to get things in order. He went about to do so and 5 years later he was still getting things in order. Now I know that does happen to everyone but don’t lose sight of who you are. Remember what Jesus called this unnamed woman? Daughter! Remember whose family you are in.  

1 John 3:2 (KJV) Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. If you know whose family you are in then when the outside voices come to try to defeat you just remember what you have read.   

Psalms 103:2  (KJV) Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Psalms 103:3  (KJV) Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 

Psalms 116:15 (KJV) Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

Don’t quit, don’t give up! This is what’s happening with Jairus “why troublest thou the Master any further?” Had Jairus taken their word versus the Word  of Jesus he would have missed out on the blessings from God. Now here’s what happened. Jesus told the multitude we are on our way to Jairus’s home and you can’t go! Mark 5:37 (KJV) And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. When they got there Jesus told those that were there that this young girl was only asleep. But they didn’t believe Jesus, they all believed it was show with no hope. 

Mark 5:39 (KJV) And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

Mark 5:40 (KJV) And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. Jesus got rid of the naysayers and He took the mom and dad where their daughter was lying. He also took Peter, James and John. Get the picture. Jesus got rid of those who were there. Jesus takes mom and dad where their daughter was lying, their hearts were broken. But Jesus also took 3 men He was training to be leaders. Now watch what happens.   

Mark 5:41 (KJV) And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

Mark 5:42 (KJV) And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

Three people got great help in Mark 5

The man living among the dead.  You’re not to lost for God to find!

The woman no one could fix. You’re not to hurt for God to heal!

The broken man Jairus.  You’re not to broken for God to fix!

Our God is a God who wants to help. But there is never any help until one asks.
