​
Summary
Pastor Boyd preached a message out of Matthew 20:29-34 titled Are You Desperate For Your Healing?
Background
-
All of us still need work. All of us are in construction...in need of healing: spiritual, mental, physical, or financial.
-
Jesus is the only one that can heal us.
Main Points
-
Why did the people multitude's follow Jesus?
-
Some followed Christ because they had a great need...and he is able to fix the need
-
Some follow because of what they can get out of Him
-
Some follow Christ out of curiosity.
-
Some follow Christ because they thought He was to overthrow the nation.
-
Some followed because they honestly believed that he was the Messiah.​
-
-
The people were desperate.
-
Have you ever been desperate that you are willing to try anything?
-
The blind men were desperate. They couldn't see, but they could hear.
-
Blindness is the condition we're in without Christ.
-
The blind men were physically blind, but not spiritually blind (like the Pharisees).
-
Some of us are walking blind (2 Cor. 4:3-4)​
-
-
The desperate, by crying for mercy, can be saved.
-
You have to seize the opportunity to get help.​
-
-
There are many hindrances to seek after Christ.
-
Sometimes we stand in our own way and make excuses why we can't be where we need to be.
-
Sometimes others stand in our way.
-
Sometimes it's circumstances that hinder us.
-
The blind men didn't let any of the above stand in their way. They would not be denied. They didn't listen to the nay-sayers. They were persistent.​
-
-
They made their request known.
-
They went to Jesus trusting that He could open their eyes.
-
We must make our requests known through prayer.
-
You have to believe that Jesus can do it.​
-
-
They believed in Christ.
-
They believed in His power.
-
There is nothing too hard for God. He specializes in things that are impossible.
-
When the blind men were healed, they followed Him because they believed He was the true Messiah.​
