The Miracles and the Message

JD Greer about Jesus.

God has an opinion to and God verified his new miracles into the resurrection. God declared him to be the Lord God declared him to be the salvation that he gave from heaven, God declared him to be an invitation for you to come home.

I know you got an opinion about Jesus but God said that's my man.

That's the one I sent are you listening to the Bible teaching ministry religion JD Greer.

I'm your host Molly benefits.

Now, no one can deny that there's plenty of suffering in the world today.

We've all endured more this year than any year in recent memory was supposed to be today. Pastor Jenny explained that in the world to come. God has a different plan for our lives. If you missed any of the previous messages in this theory, you can find them online. But for now, Pastor Jenny picks up again in chapter 3 what is realize that actors have a tendency yet typecast, you start to know what to expect when you see a certain person that a certain role. Some some actors are known as action heroes. Some are always buffoons. Some of them are the wisecracking sidekick. Whenever Tom Cruise stars in the film I know to expect the macho insecure guy would daddy issues right. Vin Diesel is never going to be the articulate, witty, romantic type you never hear the lead role in a certain movie is come down to two people Channing Tatum or Kevin James right Tatum only place Tatum rolls James on the place James rolls you grant is never to play the role of a man okay in movie Nicholas Cage is never to be anything but awesome right so you I An Article the Other Day That Explained That the Church Has Been Typecast in Our Society for Many People on the Role We Play in Society Not Just Us As a Cemetery for the Church in General Unrolling Play Is As Antagonistic Progress. So Whatever Were Brought up. We Are Morally Regressive. We Are against the Progress of Science. We Are against the Development of Good Culture.

Now It's on a New Characterization Study Church History All the Way Back to Actual Find That on the People of God of Always Been Regarded by the People of the World As Those Who Are Enemies of the State. Those Who Are Hateful People and and so Forth for What I Want to Try to Show You This Weekend Is That While That Characterization Is Not New. It Is Not at All Accurate. To Do That by Looking at the First Miracle That We Find in the Book of Acts. So If You Have Your Bible If You Would Turn It on. Figured You People out If You Turn It on and Scroll down to Ask Three Were Going to Look at the First Miracle in Acts.

This Is the First Post Jesus Miracle Balls Peter and John Healing a Guy Now.

Physical Healing Is Going to Occur Frequently throughout the Book, about 14 Times Total in 12 of 28 Chapters in Acts Acts Three Is the First Instance and Some Scholars Say That If You Understand This Miracle You Understand This One in a Way You Can Understand All My Social Worker Look at This One Miracle As a Way of Understanding. Every Miracle That Takes Place in the Book of Acts. This Miracle Shows You How God Feels about Suffering in the World and What He Is Doing about It and It Shows You What He Is Saying to Us in That Suffering, and It Shows Us As a Church, What Our Mission Is in the World. In Light of Suffering to Walking to This Miracle. Peter's Explanation of It and It Began to Try to Answer Several Questions about Physical Healing, but I Often Get Asked Some Items after Service and These Are Our Six Questions That You Stay Answering about Healing Someone to Be Those in and Try to Give You Short Answer to Accept the Three Only Summarize First 11 Verses Because I Guess Peter and John Are Going to the Temple As They Often Do As a Going and They See a Guy There They Say Many Times, but He's Lame Can't Walk Anything Away from His Birth so He Holds up His Hand and He Says Servers May I Have Some Money on. He's a Beggar He's Been That Way for As Long As He Is Been Alive on Peter and John, Look at This Man, Peter Looked Him Right in the Eyes and He Says I Don't Have Any Money on the Poor. You Know the Evangelist Is As Bright Silver and Gold Have a Number. What I Do Have I Give to You in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth Rise up and Walk and Reaches out His Hand to the Sky to Give Him an Opportunity to Show Faith and the Sky, You Can Almost Feel for a Minute As Easily Be Made a Fool of What's Happening. He Reaches out His Hand in Faith and Grabs Hold of Peter's Hand and the Text Says Immediately Delete Stop Which Is a Great Way of Thinking about This and He Didn't like to Call off and Start Walking and Then Run like a Multiplet Is Jumps up Immediately and Doesn't Gonna Know Whatever the Air and He Starts Jumping up and down a Run around the Temple Court. See How High Can You Touch Things up Leaping and Praising God This Causes Is As You Can Imagine Quite a Commotion, Because Everybody Knows This Guy. He's Been a Staple in the Temple, Right outside of It for Years and so This Is Big Commotion and a Huge Crowd Gathers Ask What's Happening Because All Amazed and so Peter Stands up Verse 12 Men of Israel, Why Do You Wonder This Why You Stare at Us Thereby Own Power or Piety We Made This Man Walk the God of Abraham Is Advising the God of Jacob, the God of Our Fathers, Has Glorified His Servant Jesus Delivered over and Denied in the Presence of Pilate, When Pilate Had Decided to Release Him. You Killed the Author of Life, God Raised from the Dead to This, We Are Witnesses. You See His Name by Faith in His Name Is Made This Man Whom You See and Know He's Made Him Strong in the Faith That Is through Jesus Has Given This Man This Perfect Health in the Presence of All of and Now, Brothers, I Know That You Acted in Ignorance, Just like Your Rulers Did Repent Then Turn to God, so That Your Sins May Be Wiped out and That Times of Refreshing May Come from the Lord That He May Send Again the Messiah Who Has Been Appointed for You, Even Jesus, the One You Rejected. Haven't Had to Receive Him until the Time Comes for God to Restore Everything Just like He Promised Long Ago through His Holy Prophets. Verse 22 Moses Said the Lord God Will Raise up for You a Prophet like Me from Your Brothers. You Shall Listen to Him and Whatever He Tells You, and It Shall Be That Every Soul Who Does Not Listen to That Prophet Shall Be Destroyed from the People.

One Commentator on That I Was Listening to, Reading, and Said That This Peter's Explanation of This Miracle Shows You Four Different Directions That This Miracle Points for Different Directions. This Miracle Points I Want to Give Those to You and Show You How You Learn What Is Happening These Miracles to Be Four Directions.

First Direction Is Upward Towards Upward to God's Authentication of Jesus Everybody Point Upward Renewing TPR Total Physical Response Learning Technique Okay by You Teachers of Rest. I Know That Right Thereby Upward. I Pajamas out Upward God's Authentication of Jesus Verse 15 You Killed the Author of Life, but God Raised Him from the Dead Were Witnesses of That and and by Jesus's Resurrected Name That's Just Me and Strength to Resurrect from His Lame Position to Begin the Wall Miracles Were God's Validation of the Apostles Is like a Divine Signature.

The God Put on Their Message Showing That It Was Not Ford's Message Last Week That Prophecy Was Another Signature. Miracles Are the Other Way. The Writer of Hebrews Says It This Way. Listen, Our Great Salvation Was Declared at First by Jesus My Lord, but Then It Was Attested to Last by Those Who Heard the Apostles. God Also Bearing Witness by Signs and Wonders and Various Miracles and by Gifts of the Holy Spirit Miracles Were God's Way of Saying These Guys Are Really for Me. The Message There Given Is Accurate. It's What I Want the World to Know If You Got Two Contradictory Opinions about Jesus. You Should Take the One That Is Validated by Miracles Right Shoving God Again Wherever There's a Gap in Knowledge Is Bad Scientific Technique Because That Technique Will Keep Us from Discovering Things God Wants Us to Know about the World God Made the World a Run According to Laws and If We Keep Pressing on Scientific and Historical Problems Almost Always Discover There's Lots If You're Trying to Figure out a Magician's Tricks You Magician I Had Is That It Looks like Magic. If You Really Want to Figure out What He or She Is Doing. Take off the Table That You Know Hogwarts Is Real. You Know the Really Is like Magicians, You Know, It Is Always a Trick of Some Kind.

If You Want to Press to Figure It out.

You Gotta Take off the Table That There's a Supernatural Explanation Price When It Comes to These Things. I Fully Buy into That Method.

But Having Said That, There Are Certain Times in History so Extraordinary That Any Reasonable Consideration That You Give to Them Must Include That They Got to Be Some Kind of Dividing Their Very Beginning of the Wall Is like That Regardless of What You Believe in Your Special Creation or Evolution Problem or Is It All Come from Nothing Times. Nobody Equals Everything Is Not Compelling at All. Right. The Events of Jesus's Life and Resurrection Are Also in a Category What You Said on an Educated Person. I Just Want to Believe in Miracles. But Here's a Newsflash If You Believe in God, You're Acknowledging the Possibility Miracles.

There's No Miracle Greater Than the Statement in the Beginning God Created the Heavens and the Earth. If You Believe in God You Have To Accept the Possibility of a Miracle I God Who Created the Laws of the Universe Could Certainly Suspend Them Rear Sore Little Girl and up to 12 Years Old and the Sunday School Class. Ask Questions As They Often Are Special Teacher Teach about Jonah. The Big Fish Oil and She's I like It When You Meant Seriously, How Did the Fish Know Exactly Where to Be in the Ocean When Joy Got Thrown Overboard. And How Did He Stay Alive and If Three Days. You Know I Were to Get Air and I Have the Official Guy Who Was Bid Amount Your Fridge and Nineveh Really and Emma Teachers like Well I Mean You Know God Made Fish God Did the Night She's I Would Yeah Bring God into It. You Know Then That's an Information but That's Kind of the Point. There Are Certain Places like around Jesus's Life and Resurrection That You Can't Just Take God off the Table That's Being Close Minded, You Really Have Two Choices. You're Either a Committed Avowed Atheist, or You Allow the Possibility of Miracles Is Really the Only Two Categories Not Given a Name That's the Way the Universe Normally Works, but God Surrounded the Ministry of Jesus, Would Miracles Authenticating the Message and There's Really No Other Good Explanation for the Events of Jesus Life and the Birth of the Church. Besides That, Now Having Said That to You.

I Will Tell You That the Miracles Really Just There There There, like Fireworks or Firecracker Just Direct Your Attention to Jesus Because There Really a Solid Foundation for Your Faithful Put in the Miracles Put in Jesus. That's My Faith Is Not Rest on the Evidence for Miracles.

My Faith Rest on the Character and the Beauty of the God Man That Came the Beauty of Jesus Christ.

That's When You Become Really Convinced or I Was out One Guy Says That God Did Not Give Us a Watertight Argument Gave Us a Watertight Person by Any Arguments Are Just There to, like/for You so That You Will Consider the Person. So If You Doubt This, Just Getting Jesus to Look at a New Year's Let the Miracles At Least Raise Your Awareness of Who Is This Man Came Claiming to Be God Claiming to Be the Holy One to Die for My Sin to Rescue Me Right so Let Me Ask You the Same Question That Peter Asked This Group Have You Listened to Jesus, That's What He Concludes Is Right. Every Soul Who Does Not Listen to That Profit Will Be Destroyed from the People You've Got an Opinion about Jesus. God Has an Opinion to an God Verified His New Miracles and through the Resurrection. God Declared Him to Be the Lord God Declared Him to Be the Salvation That He Gave from Heaven, God Declared Him to Be an Invitation for You to Come Home.

I Know You Got an Opinion about Jesus but God Said That's My Man. That's the One I Sent Are You Listening to Him. There's so Much Happening Back Here for You to Relegate. This Is Something You Can Get to When You're in Your 50s. Are You Listening to That Profit Because He Came with Power and That Power Demands Your Attention Because He Came to the Lord to Be Your Savior. Which Leads Me to Number Two. This Miracle Points about One up Upwards. Number Two. This Miracle Points Forward One Forward. Everybody Gave Any Two People to Back Okay and Point You Right Now There Forever Right about One Forward J Everybody.

Everybody Understands Aussie Every Hand up Okay to Be Just One Way or Another High Point Size Miracle Points Forward to the Future Restoration Points Upward to the Authentication from Having It Points Forward to Jesus's Future Restoration Peter Verse 21 Says That This Healing Is a Sign of the Coming Restoration of All Things That God Has Promised the Jews Would Have Recognized the Healing of This Lame Man As a Fulfillment of Isaiah 35, Six, When Isaiah Prophesies the Future Restoration I God Brings the World.

He Says This Then Shall the Lame Man Leap like a Deer. That's What's Significant about the Man Getting up and Immediately Doing a Car Will Easily I'm Not in Your Heart Will Be Joining IEEE Disease Legalese Fulfilling This Verse As He Explained That When God Sent a Messiah Who Would Purchase Healing for the Whole World.

Isaiah 53, Five, by His Wounds We Will Be Healed and through His Work. All the Pain of Europe Would Be Reversed, and I Guess Was in My Time with God. This Week on the so so Beautiful These Passages I Was Reading the Lion Will Lay down with the Lamb and the Infant Will Play near the Cobras.

Then the Young Child Will Put His Hand and into the Viper's Nest Unity That Anyway, but It Will Be Okay.

You Know When They Do It. They Will Neither Harm That We No Harm or Destruction on All My Holy Mountain, for the Earth Will Be Filled with the Knowledge of the Lord As the Waters Cover the Eyes of the Blind Me over the Years of the Death on Stock, the Lame Leap like a Deer in the Mute Tongue Shout for Joy Water Will Gush Forth in the Wilderness and Streams in the Desert, the Burning Sand Will Become a Pool the Thirsty Ground Bubbling Springs. Look around You and See All Your Children Will Come Back to You. You Have Lost Children Will Come Back to You Will Cure Your Little Signs Back to You in Their Arms, They Will Bring Back Your Daughters on the Shoulders of Angels. That's the Future That's the Future Now This Is Important Is That Mean That from Now on.

Anyone Who Believes in Jesus Is Going to Be Healed When No Not Now You Know Lots of Lame People at the Temple Is Not the Only Guy You Only Feel That One This Healing.

If This Is so Important Was a Sign of the Full Restoration Coming in the Future.

You See, Not Only Did the Apostles Message Point Upward to God's Authentication of the Message. The Miracle Pointed Forward to the Kind of Restoration That Jesus Ago to Bring the Whole World That I Was Witnessing for Jesus. Would Miracles Not Simply Magic Shows about How Powerful He Was. Jesus Wanted to Prove How Powerful He Was.

He Could Have His Name in the Sky with His Finger Radically Miracles That He Did Every Miracle That Jesus and the Apostles That Was an Alleviation of Suffering Everyone. They Pointed to Jesus's Saving Purpose.

I've Heard It Said like This, Jesus Miracles Did Not Show off the Naked Fact of His Power, Jesus Miracles Revealed the Redemptive Purpose of His Power Is All That so He Healed Leprosy. He Cured Blindness. The Stock Storms. He Raised the Dead These Miracle Show Us That God Is No Happier with the World and the Condition That It's in Your Iraq Are Happy When It God Did Not Create the World of Pain with Blindness, Disease or Death Battle Came to the Corruption of Sin, Pain and Disease Are Not Natural to a World That Is Now Red in Tooth and Claw before into the World. They Are Introduced by the Rebellion of Our World against God. These Miracles Point Us to the World Back to the World As God Created to Be in the World Is God Wants It to Be Again in the World Is God Will One Day Make It Again.

You Heard Me Say This before. Miracles Are Not a Suspension of the Natural Order. Miracles Are Returned to the Natural Order.

Jesus Healings Are the Only Natural Things in a World That Is Unnatural, Demonized and Wounded.

For Those of You Who Are in Pain That He Swore Great Hope and That Is Your Sustaining Joint It's Temporary Regulus and Some of Them You Need Time Will One Day Shout for Joy.

Here's the Deaf or Unstopped Will Bring Back Your Little Sons in Their Arms Will Carry Her Daughters Back to You on the Shoulders of Angels As the Future, the God Has Prophesied for You Remember Reading a Biography of Joni Erickson Thought It Years Ago. She's Probably in Her 60s Now, but When She Was a Teenager. She Had a Diving Accident Broke Her Neck Paralyzed the Neck down His Quadriplegic. She Still in Full Use of Her Facial Features and and Mentor in Overhead to Cheat You Can Move Anything from the Neck down God Use That to Bring Joni Erickson Thought Back to Himself and That She Talked about the Inheritor Biography Just about How What Life Is like for Her but How Joyous It Is to Have Been Reunited to God and That If This Is What It Took for God to Get Her Attention. Then She Would One Day. Think about Is the Greatest Blessing the God Put in Her Life. She Begins to Kind of Dream a Little Bit about Heaven in a Way That Only She Were You and I Probably Are Not As Able to Do and She Said This and I Did Things Are so Beautiful. She Said One Day in Heaven at That Great Marriage Supper of the Lamb. The First Thing I Think I'll Do on My Newly Resurrected Red Legs, Is Fall to My Glorified Knees and Praise the God of Resurrection and Healing and Then I Will Stand and Dance before Him with All of My Mind. That's the Future for Those of You Who Are in Pain. Do You Want That Future Healing Thoughts.

You Know, by the Way Deep down That Your Maybe for That Kind of Healing.

Don't You Know That You Were Created to Be in a World without Brokenness and Pain, Don't You Know That but for the People of God. He Says This Is What I Have Coming for You That Which You Are Created for That Which I'm Doing. I Will One Day Make Every Sad Thing, through One Day There Will Be No More Pain, No More Crying and I Will Remove Every Bit of Disease and Death Because I Created You to Walk with Me to Walk in My Blessing You Want That You Want That You Got a Repent for Jesus Were Only in Him Is That Healing Found in the Only Ones Will Go into That Blessed Eternity Are Those Who Have Surrendered and Been Reconciled to God through Which Leads Me to Number Three Points I Can See People Chapel Hill) Points Upward to God for Medication.

It Points Inward to Figure out Points Inward Inward to Our Souls Need of Salvation Points Inward Dorsal Theme of Salvation, the Physical Ailments of Some Point of the Heart Condition of All We See Something More Physically Blind but Ephesians Says Were All Spiritually Blind the Physical Sickness of Our Bodies Points to Be Inward Sickness of Our Souls.

Now Not Understood Misunderstanding.

I Am Not Saying That If You Have a Physical Ailment. It Points to Something Uniquely Wrong with You As If the Reason You Have the Physical Problem Is Because of a Spiritual Prop. I'm Speaking in a General Sense.

I'm Saying That the Physical Brokenness of the World You Know All over the Place Is a Sign to Us of the Broken Condition of Our Souls and Our Disconnect from God Is Physically Sick or Spiritually Sick or Warm Traces Physical Death. Because We Are Dead in Our Trespasses and Said so the Miracles of Jesus and the Apostles on Message about the Salvation That Jesus Can Bring to Our Souls.

Like I Asked for Money He Think That's the Greatest Blessing to Get Right. Right.

And Peter Says like I Have Time and Money.

What I Do Have a Guess of the Better I Get Some Better Ideas of the Deeper Rise up and Will but Then the Guy Goes on to Become a Disciple of Jesus You Will See That Job before Which Is the Greatest of All the Gifts of Peter Could've Given to Him As He Is Bad Is Suffering Is There Something Worse As Bad As Physical Suffering Is There Something Worse and That Is Being Crippled by Your Own Slavery to Sin Brings More Suffering Than Any Physical Harm That May Come Away You're Listening to Summit Life Bible Teaching Ministry of Pastor Arthur and Theologian JD Greer.
