A word: You betta get some help

Mark 6:53-56
53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there. 54 As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. 55 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.
Defining Lord - a person exercising absolute ownership rights, he to whom a person has the power of deciding or to have the final say!! No one has the final say in your life if the Lord is your Lord! Not a doctor at the best Canter Center in the country ... MD Anderson or the closest one down the street at Houston Methodist!
In order to ask for help, you need to have some urgency. Whenever Jesus Christ is there, help is available! But you need to call on him for it. If we are going to receive the Lord’s help, then we need to recognize Him above all others! (Mark 6:33-34) God will send people to help you but man will get burdened, these people may not have the compassion of God to help you. Sure he sends doctors and family and friends your way, but your ultimate help comes from the Lord. Jesus has healed through five chapters of Mark, and in Chapter 6 he is still healing. In your family, he’s healed through generations, now that you are in Chapter 6, you betta get some help too!
But some people are so stuck in their situation, we will have to carry them to Jesus to receive the Lord’s help. (Mark 6:55 and lMark 2:3-12). The lame man had 4 friends that beat through the roof and carried him to Jesus. Do you have some friends like that? Is Jesus gonna see the faith of your friends? Jesus healed him but his 4 friends brought him. You don’t need folks watching you in your situation. When you can’t walk on your own, who is gonna carry you? When you get stuck in doubt, defeat, pride, who is gonna carry you? The text said that they ran and carried the people on “their” pallets. Meaning that the pallet once belonged to them, as they already went through this before. In other words, your situation ain’t new boo. If you are too prideful to tell your so called friends about your problem, then you’re probably not really going to God for help. Mark 5:34 - “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering”.
And why did she want to touch the hem of his garment ... let’s get educated In Numbers 15:37-41, you will find that the Lord your God has been helping people since the Old Testament. The testimony of those previously helped by the Lord, should fuel our faith the seek the Lord’s help. You need to open up your mouth and tell people that the Lord has helped you because there are some people that will need to hear YOUR testimony. Have faith and be encouraged! God loves you!
