The "Next Phase" series Pastor Charles did continue
On "Warfare", Luke 8:41-56 he did go through
About the enemy we read in 1 Peter five verse eight
Like a lion who brings fear with a roar so great
In the same way, the enemy tries to instill fear
But we should not be scared, we did then hear
Two stories of illness the Luke passage does contain
Jairus' dying daughter and a bleeding woman in pain
The Roman god of the underworld is named "Dis"
Dis-agree, dis-content, and dis-ease are far from bliss
About Jairus' daughter Pastor Charles then did speak
At Jesus' feet Jairus fell, healing for her he did seek
For a ruler of the synagogue, this was desperation
But it was the only way he could get her restoration
Their movement to his house, the crowd did impede
Then they were delayed by the woman who did bleed
Pastor asked how we handle what we perceive as a delay
We should be waiting on the Lord in more than one way
First is that we should wait, for He does things in His time
Second is that we should serve Him, not just pen a rhyme
Verse 50 says "don't be afraid, just believe, and...be healed"
Like Jairus' daughter's spirit was restored after he appealed
Pastor then talked of the woman bleeding for twelve years
She had used all her money and must have had many fears
But in spite of the crowds and the required social isolation
She was desperate for Jesus who was near her location
His cloak she did grab (or fasten if you look at the Greek)
In the same way, our desperation should be far from meek
Pastor said that we should grab God and never let go
Ask for healing, even though Jesus must already know
"Your faith has healed you. Go in peace" Jesus did to her say
If we approach him with faith, we will be healed in the same way
With words from a song, Pastor did then conclude
Hoping that his message will into our hearts intrude
"When you can't understand, when you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand, trust his heart", yes you ca
