-
Those Jewish leaders...
-
those guys, they hated Christ.
-
They wanted nothing to do with Him.
-
They wanted no part.
-
They saw nothing in Him.
-
They easily blasphemed the Holy Spirit
-
because they were intentionally rejecting
-
everything about Christ.
-
Listen, let me tell you something,
-
if even one of those scribes
-
had stepped forth out of the ranks
-
and said, "Lord, if You will,
You can make me clean,"
-
He'd have healed them like that.
-
You see, what the devil's
constantly trying to do
-
is whisper in people's
ears that you can't go
-
even though you want to
-
because you've committed this sin.
-
Don't believe that for a second.
-
Scripture says, "Whosoever comes..."
-
Whoever!
-
You say, what if I've committed
the unpardonable sin?
-
Go to Him.
-
Because whoever!
-
The Son is bidding you come.
-
The Spirit and the bride
-
bid you to come.
-
Come!
-
And it says if you want, come.
-
It says if you're thirsty, come!
-
That's what I would say:
-
Whoever comes He'll not cast out.
-
You say can I go even if...? Yep!
-
If you go, He's not going to cast you out.
-
You take that to the devil
-
when he's trying to stall you,
-
scatter you,
-
depress you,
-
keep you down,
-
make you miserable,
-
put you in depression.
-
You've got a God who says: Call!
-
In fact, He faults people.
-
I cried to them and no one answered!
-
You just say: That's not going to be me!
-
I'm going to answer.
-
Lord, I am needy!
-
Help me!
-
I need You desperately!
-
He says He saves to the uttermost.
-
I need to be saved today
-
just as much as I needed
to be saved yesterday.
-
Lord, help!
-
That ought to be the cry on the lips
-
of everyone in here: Lord, help me!
-
Like everyday.
-
Do you ever notice,
-
the Lord doesn't need
sophisticated prayers.
-
Lord, help!
-
But she came and knelt before
Him, saying, "Lord, help me."

Matthew 15:25
