Morning Prayer with Pastor Sean Pinder
Walk Away From Bad People
Good morning to you. I want to read something to you from the book of Monch, chapter 3 verse 7. Listen to the word of God. But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea and a great multitude from Galilee followed him and from Judea. This is what I want to talk about. It's okay to walk away from bad people. It's absolutely okay. You have God's permission. I caught his greater and I caught his stronger. God you are higher than any other. Come on, put your hands together. Tell him I caught his greater. Come on, touch. I caught his greater and I caught his stronger. God you are higher than any other. And I caught his healer. He's awesome in power I got. And if I caught his for us and if I caught his for us, then look at him and stop us. And if I caught him with us, what can stand against? And what can stand against? I want the devil to hear them all. And if I caught his for us, then who could ever stop us? If I caught him with us, what can stand against? What can stand against? And if I caught, come on, church. And if I caught his for us, what could ever stop us? And if I caught him with us, what could stand against? What could stand against? And it's, and if I caught his for us, who could ever stop us? And if I caught him with us, what could stand against? What could stand against? I caught his greater and I caught his stronger. God you are higher than any other. I caught his healer. He's awesome in power I caught. I caught his greater and I caught his greater. I caught his stronger. God you are higher than any other. I caught his healer. He's awesome in power I caught. And if I caught his for us, what could ever stop us? And if I caught him with us, what could stand against? What could stand against? And if I caught his for us, who could ever stop us? And if I caught him with us, what could stand against? What could stand against? Father God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, man past Amy, we join our faith, which are wonderful people here on this morning. We pray that the Word of God would come alive in their hearts, their minds and in their spirits, renew their mind through the Word, give them insight, give them instruction on how to move, how to act, how to live, let them know what is okay and what's not okay. But let them know it's okay to walk away from bad people. In the name of Jesus, let this word get into them. Let your people know it's okay to walk away from bad people. In the name of Jesus Christ, someone say, Amen. Good morning to you again. We continue this series. Don't lose your focus. Walk away from bad people. It's okay. You know, the Bible says if they have a form of godliness, but they deny the power there of the Bible says, from such, from such people, turn away, walk away from them, get away from them, run away from them. There are people who you do not need to be on. The apostle Paul says, mark those who cause divisions among you and avoid them. That means every opportunity possible, stay away from them. That's what it means. Positive, they cause divisions among you from such withdraw thyself. So the Bible says, you're absolutely okay to do it. You don't need to take every phone call. Now you're listening to me. You don't need to respond to every email. Once this, I want to take you in the scriptures here in the book of Mark chapter 3 beginning at verse 1 through 8. And he entered. This is Jesus. He entered again into the synagogue and there was a man there which had a withered hand. And they watched him whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day. That day might accuse him. So Jesus is in the synagogue. He's invited. He's there to minister and to teach and preach the Word of God and to pray for God's people. But while he is there, they are literally watching Jesus because there's a man there that has a withered hand in his hands, paralyzed. He doesn't have use of one of his hands. And the Pharisees are there. They can care less about the mercy and the grace of God. All they're looking for is a reason to accuse Jesus and do away with him because Jesus is gaining so much popularity. They're jealous of him. They're threatened by the power of God and work through his life. They hate the amount of people that's following Jesus. They couldn't handle it. So they watched him that day might accuse him. And he said unto the man which had the withered hand, stand forth. And he said unto them, is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath days or to do evil, to save life or to kill? But they held their peace. Now this is, this right here amazes me. It's obvious what the answer, he said, is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath days or to do evil? But if you do something evil, they would be like, I mean, they'd like hammer you, please. He said, is it right to save life on the Sabbath or to kill? Now they were the ones planned on killing Jesus. So he's exposing the evil in their heart. And when you see people who ought to open them up and say something, ain't saying something, something's wrong, but they held their peace. They knew what the answer was. Praise God. They knew it. But you got to understand this. Jesus, he's facing a challenge here in this scripture because his focus, remember Jesus in Luke 4 18, he said the spirit of the Lord God is on me because he have anointed me to preach the gospel. He has sent me to heal. He has sent me to heal. He has sent me to heal. So bringing healing to the multitudes is a part of his mission. And the Pharisees are there to challenge him and to distract him and also to take away from his ministry. And so the challenge is he have to overcome this distraction and do the will of God. Come on, have you ever been put in a position like that? You're in a difficult spot. Where the distractions were all around, the demonic distractions, trying to break your focus, trying to cause you to miss a moment. But I'm here to tell someone you ain't gonna miss your moment. Glory to God. This miracle ain't gonna pass you by. This breakthrough ain't gonna pass you by. Watch this. And when he had looked around about on them with anger, and it's okay to get angry as long as you maintain your attitude. Don't you lose it? He was angry at them. They were irritating his spirit. They grieved him in another place. And when he had looked around about on them with anger being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, they had hardened their hearts against him. He was grieved for the hardness of their hearts. He said unto the man, you see that? They were absolutely grieving him. He was grieved over the hardness of their hearts. And he was also angry. But this is what I love about Jesus. Even though he was grieved and he was angry, he did not allow that to distract him from his mission. His mission was to bring healing, to bring forgiveness, to bring the love of God. So he was being grieved for the hardness of their hearts. He said to the man, he was focused. I'm talking to somebody. You need to be focused. You are right end of the vicinity of a miracle. You are at a place where God is about to work through your life and use you on that job, in that hospital, in that business, in that ministry, in your family. God is about to use you. And the devil, the enemy, is tempting you to get distracted on the negative people, on the bad people. Don't you let yourself become distracted to the point that you can't do the will of God. God is counting on you. God is depending on you. God trusts you. He has confidence in you that you can get the job done. And in the middle of being angry, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he focused on his mission. He said unto the man, stretch forth your hand. And the man who had to parallel his hand, he began to stretch it out. And as he stretches hands out, the healing power of the Holy Ghost flowed into his arteries and his boons, in this flesh, and his hands was made straight. It was made whole. The Bible says Jesus said, stretch forth thine hands. And he stretched it out. And his hand was restored whole as the other. He allowed God to work through him to give someone a miracle in need, amidst the distractions. Right in the midst of his head, as the Bible says, thou prepares a table before me, in the presence of my enemies. He anoint my head, but all my cup run over, surely goodness, and mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And I'll do other nows of the Lord forever. Glory to God. Don't lose your focus. But I want you to see the next verse. And the Pharisees went forth and straight went immediately. They took counsel with the Herodians how they might destroy him. But I want you to see what Jesus did about it. He didn't just sit down, twiddle his thumbs and wine, verse seven. But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea and a great multitude from Galilee followed him and from Judea and from Jerusalem and from Adomiah and from beyond the Jordan. And they about tyrants siding a great multitude when they heard what great things he did came unto him. Jesus withdrew from the wrong crowd and God had a brand new crowd waiting on him who was full of faith in the Holy Ghost. Come on, full of faith and expectation. It's okay to walk away from bad people. It's okay. You got to walk away from them. Get around to people that believes in you. What a lesson in the life of Christ. Father, God, in the name of Jesus Christ, me and past Amy, we join our faith with your wonderful, amazing people here on this morning. Dear God, let them know it's okay to walk away from bad people. Your Word says, mark those who cost divisions among you and withdraw yourself, mark them and avoid them. Your Word says, if they have a form of godliness but deny the power there from such turn away. Father, God, let your people know it's okay to walk away from bad people. We thank you, God, for speaking to your people. Somebody was struggling. What should I do? Should I walk away? You absolutely shouldn't walk away in the name of Jesus. In the name of God, given your green light this moment, from such withdraw yourself, it's biblical and scriptural. We thank you, God, for the word that you release in the hearts and minds of your people. Your Word says, that word, O Lord, is a lamp unto my feet and it's a light to my path. Thank you, God, for hearing us. In Jesus' name, we praise somebody. Say, amen. Listen, I want to give you an opportunity to stand with us and support the work of God to do so.
