The Faith to Let Jesus Be God
By Sean Gooding
Matthew chapter 15:21-31 (continued)
“Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, ‘Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.’ But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, ‘Send her away, for she cries out after us.’
But He answered and said, ‘I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’ Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, ‘Lord, help me!’ But He answered and said, ‘It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.’ And she said, ‘Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.’ Then Jesus answered and said to her, ‘O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.’ And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there. Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them. So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.”
We ended last time talking about the need for a heart transformation from God. We first of all need to be born-again in Jesus and then we need to present our bodies as living human sacrifices to God for His transformation. He will take us, break us down and rebuild us in the image of Christ. Beware, the old man does not die easily. Even if you constantly surrender and submit to God, that old man may not die. In fact he/she will not die completely until you get your new glorified body from God. But, that old man/woman will begin to lose strength and influence in how we live our lives and use our bodies.
Today we will look at the area of faith. This is an area of expansion that I have had to explore over the past few years. As a young man, at age 14, I put my life and eternity in Jesus’ hands when I asked God to forgive my sins and to save me. At that time, I was taking a baby step of faith. Over the years God has expanded my understanding of His faithfulness to me and my family, as He has faithfully provided for us—even as we had another child. As the expenses of raising children has grown, so too, has God’s faithfulness and provision.
God has met every need and beyond for us, often meeting our needs before we know they are needs. And all the while, He has led us to give more than we have ever given before. We (my wife Marny and I) have learned that you cannot out give God. And we have learned to be faithful in giving, even when it appears that we don’t have enough. But God always makes sure that there is enough. He simply does.
A Gentile’s Woman’s Faith, Verses 21-28
We all know that Jesus came primarily to the Jews. He was sent by God to Israel to reveal Himself to them and to be rejected by them. In this action, they set up the opportunity for the sinless Jesus to be executed and die for the sins of all men. The just dying for the unjust. Jesus reiterates this fact. In verse 24, Jesus states that He was sent to the “lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But then this woman launches into a leap of faith that shames most believers.
She reminds me of a certain Centurion that we meet in Matthew 8. He trusted that Jesus did not have to come into his home to heal an ill servant. He, Jesus, simply had to speak the word and the servant would be healed. Jesus marveled at his faith and understanding of Jesus’ power. He commented that He has not seen this kind of faith even in Israel (Matthew 8:10).
As we travel through the Scriptures we are met with great men and women of faith. God in particular challenged the faith of the people that called Him God. From the call to build an Ark, to a baby born to Abraham when he was 100 years old, to the parting of the Red Sea, to the fall of the walls of Jericho, and on and on we could go.
One situation in particular that stands out to me is found in 1 Kings 17, where Elijah instructs the widow of Zarephath to make him some food from the last flour and oil that she has, and to trust God to supply her needs. When she obeyed, God was faithful to her. She had to look beyond what she could see and trust the God she could not see.
This woman in our account could see God. Jesus stood right before her. She had to believe that He was who He said He was and that He could do all that God does. She accepted that He was/is the Almighty One of Israel and so she acted. Faith requires action. Faith requires obedience. Further, she refused to relent in her asking simply because she was not from Israel.
This woman understood that she did not need the full power or attention of Jesus to make her daughter well. What she needed was just a little of His power, the little bits that no one misses, just like the crumbs that the dogs ate. Jesus actually ignored her and his disciples wanted her to be sent away (verse 23). They were annoyed.
So how did she get Jesus attention? First she came and worshipped Him (verse 25) and then she asked for His help. This got His attention. Sincere worship and an honest cry for help and Jesus was immediately engaged in conversation with her. How many of us sincerely worship Jesus? And how many of us sincerely ask for His help?
This woman had no other solution, she had no plan “B’” and no way in her own power to save her daughter. She was totally reliant on Jesus and she was unashamed to admit it publicly. She worshipped Him in front of everyone there, and asked for help openly. She was not ashamed to call Him Lord. Jesus healed her daughter and commended her “great faith” to the people there in the crowd, and to us for all eternity as recorded in the Scriptures.
I will confess that this passage and others like it hit me very hard. I have never had someone instantly healed by me praying for them. People that I have prayed for have been healed and some truly miraculously. No one expected them to get better and they did. We glorified Jesus and praised Him, but I have never gone into a room with an ill person and had them healed instantly.
I know Jesus is God, I believe that He is the Almighty and I know that He alone can raise a person up and so I call on Him to heal. Some have recovered over time and some have died. But this is not what we see here in the Scriptures. We see an instant healing. Full and complete restoration.
So what am I missing?
I have been asking this questions for some time now. What I can attest to is that Jesus is faithful to me. He has answered my prayers 100 percent of the time. Sometimes I get an instant answer, other times I get an answer over time and sometimes He just says “NO” and that is often audible to my heart and ears.
There are times when I have asked God a question and I get an answer right in my head almost as if He is right there next to me. There are times when I have thought a certain thing and immediately the Spirit of God in me speaks to me about the way I am thinking. I have fought God on many occasions, and He has been patient with me and in the midst of my rebellion.
He remains faithful and He miraculously reveals Himself to me in so many ways. My mother is ill with Alzheimers. What if I could just go and ask Jesus to heal her and He did. I have asked, over and over and she is still ill. There is that nagging query in my heart, that maybe if I had more faith she would be okay.
The Word of God challenges us to seek God every day and every moment to make sense of this life that we have. One day I hope to have faith like this woman. But let me also encourage you doubters, me included, she had a faith of sight. She saw Jesus heal the sick and maybe even saw Him cast out demons first handed.
She knew it could be done by Him, we walk by faith and not by sight. We have not seen and still believe, we have not seen these miracles and still call Him Lord, Master and Savior. Even if Jesus never did another miracle in my life, the truth is He has done more than I deserved, in truth I deserved to die and go to hell. He rescued me, He redeemed me with His precious blood and
He keeps me where I cannot keep myself. He has healed my sickness of sin and given me a peace and comfort that is greater than all I could imagine. I hope that you have Him, rather I hope He has you! If He does, rejoice, for He has raised you from the dead and you are truly alive.
The Multitudes Still Need Him, Verses 29-31
We live in a world that tries to be so self-sufficient. Even we Christians want to live independently of Jesus. We want to be “self made” fixing our lives without Jesus. What a mess we have created. These folk, these multitudes came to Jesus because they had no other solution. He was all the hope that they had and had He not helped there would have been no one else to help them.
Like these multitudes we simply need to bring our broken, ailing lives and families to Jesus. He alone can fix all the ailments we have. Broken homes, wasted lives, depression, anxiety, loneliness—you can name the list of troubles for which we need Jesus. We just need the Master’s touch. We need His compassion and help. If we could just get out of the way long enough for Jesus to simply be God, our lives would be so different.
I love the phrase “They laid them down at Jesus’ feet and He healed them” (verse 30).
When is the last time that you laid your hurts at Jesus’ feet? Was it when you had nowhere else to go, no one else to help, when you had exhausted books, doctors, potions, prayer even and worry. Was is when you were empty from trying to fix whatever it was, and you came simply to lay the issue, the person, the need at Jesus’ feet.
Even if He did nothing to help the situation, at least He carrying the load for you now. That burden is off your shoulders. Why do we /I try to carry these burdens by ourselves? We are frail and made of dust, our finite minds can barely handle the normal burdens of life. Furthermore, the troubles that come with this life let us run to Jesus and make this verse our own.
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
Could you imagine the rest these people felt when Jesus touched them or their loved ones and not only healed their broken bodies, He healed their lives and they finally had a leader that they could depend on; someone who loved them and cared for them. Someone who had real power and real presence. That day there was rejoicing when Jesus came and fixed them.
Let Him fix you. Look at the response; they glorified the God of Israel. For the first time in a long time these few Jews had the right opinion of God. That is what the Word to glorify means, they had the right opinion of Him.
When you carry burdens that only Jesus can take or try to fix things that only Jesus can fix, you begin to have the wrong opinion of God. But, when you simply lay your burdens at Jesus’ feet and stop trying to be God, He can be God and you will stand in awe of Him. You, too, will glorify the God of Israel. Let Jesus be God, your God.

Whistler Blowers, Insiders
Jesus is God..BUT..BUT..BUT pay attention to #3 in light of #1 here…123’s of true Christianity v popular & damnable heresies
#1 God is ONE, not three different persons who are “one being”: which is as ridiculous as claiming three different cars are the “ONE VEHICLE”; if different persons are only one is purpose then your god is no different then pagan deities you fools! ….TRINITARIANS CONFESS JESUS /THEY ARE NOT POLYTHEIST BUT ARE MONOTHEIST LIKE A LIAR & THIEF WHO “CONFESS” THEY DO NOT LIE OR STEAL The simple fact is that just because you confess or deny that you are in an adulterous relationship and denounce all forms of adultery has nothing to do with whether or not it is in fact adulterous! .. …A rose by any other name is still just a rose AND calling it a water lily does not change the definition of what a water Lilly or a rose is either!…No, Trinitarians confess & preach literally …”ANOTHER JESUS” 2 Cor 11:4
- Like a thief in your house caught stealing your things insisting he was not there stealing “I CONFESS I am NOT stealing”. You just do not “properly understand” what he is doing/saying. Further, since you never had a “proper understanding” of what he is doing/saying you have no business accusing him since you do not even know what you are talking about in the first place. It is with and in your own ignorance that you base your “false accusations” & “ad homonym attacks” against him…… Ridiculous of course it is ……2Thess 2:11; Titus 1:16; 2Tim 3:5;
…… should have given you a hint, harking back to Satan in The garden…God said you will die…Satan comes along and states no you will be more WISE……today .God said He is one; but Satan’s children come along and say no three is more WISE and humble in the face of God’s grandeur only “a mystery” that can be understood “in faith”. God uses head and right arm to explain the distinctions between father and son.. However, the Trinitarian heretics say to the effect: “NO, that is just a figure of speech, or that is not what God really means. What God is really saying is that God is three different persons”. Fools, hypocrites and blind guides, God said he was One and by your traditions and vain imaginations have taken the words of God and made them of no effect, refashioning God into your vain imaginations because God is three different person is NOWHERE IN SCRIPTURE!……PART 4 & 5 HOW MANY GODS ARE THERE FOR THE ONE GOD TO TALK TO?? Who was Jesus praying to??!?…. The real question should be … How does having multiple different persons keep this one God/being/entity from praying to himself?! (The trinitarian “schizophrenic” “god-head”) The Trinitarians want to have their cake and eat it too as the saying goes. On the one hand they need to say they only worship one indivisible God being/ entity but on the other hand they feel the need for some reason to keep Jesus or God from praying and talking to himself by dividing him up into different persons!?! It never occurs to them that that since there is only one indivisible God to pray too and Jesus is that indivisible God come in the flesh that he would need to talk to himself as to show us how to live, suffer, pray and die for our/ flesh) benefit not his!?!….. So while Trinitarians are quick to complain that God was not talking to himself at Christ baptism or in Gen “let us” they ignore the logical demands of their own theology! If Jesus is the ONE GOD in flesh and the Father is the SAME ONE GOD in heaven then Trinitarianism demands THE ONE GOD is talking to HIMSELF the same “being”! Claiming that God is multiple different persons as the reason for why God is not talking to himself (because God is three different “selfs”) only demonstrates that what they really worship is in fact not a ONE GOD who talks to himself but three different god “selfs”/ and they all talk to each other! When they speak about who God was talking and praying to, they are quick to say “the other person, NOT HIMSELF!” But if you ask them how many gods do they pray to then they will say “ONLY ONE”!?! They expect you to believe that those three different persons are THE ONE GOD-BEING” which is like calling three different cars “THE ONE VEHICLE” (they are text book examples of prov 26:12)
Mark 12:28…Which is the first commandment of all? 29. …Hear, O Israel; THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD: 30. And ………..this is the first commandment….. 31. And the second is….. IF YOU CAN’T GET THIS “FIRST OF ALL COMMANDMENTS” RIGHT, ALL THE REST OF YOUR “FAITH” AND PREACHING ON LOVE & SIN IS MOOT
PART 6: THE ANTI CHRIST….WHERE? WHERE?….EVERYWHERE!!! …..IT”S YOU O TRINITARIAN!
“WHO” it was (what person) that came “IN THE FLESH”, IS THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE “ANT-CHRIST”! Even Islam claims Jesus was the Jewish messiah/Christ who was to come in the flesh) they all deny “WHO” it was (what person) that came (to be the Christ) in the flesh!?!…….To deny the father is to deny the son because they are one and the same person that came in the flesh!
JOHN 14: 8-20 ….Note Isaiah 9:6. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: …: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, … the everlasting Father ….The son, father/Holy Spirit are all the same person, NOT like two different persons working together even as “one flesh” ….The “oneness” between Christ and the father is not comparable to a man & his wife, for only a fool would say “When you have seen me you have seen my wife, how sayest thou then, Shew us your wife?” Notice they asked to see THE FATHER and the response was Jn 14:9 ..“HAVE I BEEN SO LONG time with you, and yet hast THOU NOT KNOW ME, Philip…..Now image some fool trying to claim that statement if you asked to see his wife!?!!? You want to see the FATHER but have I been with you but you don’t know me!?!?!
Jn 14 continued….…………..17. Even THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH; (Jn 14:6 I AM the way, THE TRUTH,) whom the world cannot receive, .. for HE DEWLLETH WITH YOU, (present tense/standing next to them in the flesh) and SHALL BE IN YOU… (future tense “In them”) 18. I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU (future tense “In them”) Note: The spirit of Christ is the sprit of God and the holy spirit that is why Christ said “I will come to you” (to comfort them, because Christ is the comforter). The spirit was standing next to them in flesh… ….latter it would come to them to be inside of them (inside of their flesh as the spirit we are given)…..that is why. he would send the spirit…… However, Jesus himself here makes the point that the same person who was the HOLY SPIRIT that would come was standing next to them but lets them know “I will come to you again to be Inside of you”
The whole point to Gal 3:20.a mediator is NOT A MEDIATOR OF ONE, (HEIS) but GOD IS ONE. (HEIS) again, point blank, identifies the number of persons of God! The “but” points out the contrast between multiple persons in a mediation party v the “one” of God. God is not like a mediation party with multiple different persons. …..”the express image of his person” ( the person of God; singular not plural).Any attempt to lay claim otherwise is willful ignorance and delusional nonsense

#2 SECOND COMING Thou Fool! “I come quickly” so “Hold fast
till i come”… NOT …“in another 2000 yrs I might be coming soon any time now, so hold fast”!?! …those that deny the second coming of Christ in the war of AD70 are practicing a damnable heresy in denying the lord that bought them ( 2Peter 2:1-2 ;2Tim 4:8/ you cant love an appearing you deny& the context is the 2nd coming not the first)… Mat 7:23..”I NEVER KNEW YOU” …..Mat 10:33. But whosoever shall deny me before men……..sound familiar?…. If I said I am coming to your house in this generation when these things happen but no one knows the day or hour what fool would think I might be coming in 2000 years latter!?!? ..2 Tim 4: 4. And
they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be TURNED UNTO FABLES.
Christ promised that only HIS PEOPLE would see him ….John 14:19. Yet a little while, and THE WORLD SEETH ME NO MORE;….. [2 Cor 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ AFTER THE FLESH, yet NOW HENCEFORTH KNOW WE HIM NO MORE….(here the Context of John 14 is his second coming)…..continued…..but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20. AT THAT DAY .. 21. He that hath my commandments, and KEEPETH THEM, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and WILL MANIFEST MYSELF TO HIM……(again taking note “as he is” or 1Jn 3:2)
22. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, HOW IS IT THAT THOU WILT MANIFEST THYSELF UNTO US AND NOT UNTO THE WORLD? 23. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, HE WILL KEEP MY WORDS: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.( Rev 3:20) 24. He that loveth me not.. (1Cor 16:22)…. KEEPETH NOT MY SAYINGS: ( REV 9:16-20)
REVELATION 1:7. Behold, HE COMETH WITH CLOUDS; and EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM, …. There are two point to be made here (1) this is a partial quote from OT (Zech 12:2&10; also note Rev 16:15-17 & Zech 14:1-3 with Joel 2:28-3:1,2,12,16 et al) note the context it IDENTICAL to Mat ch 24/ Lk 21/ Mark 13 et al….you know, where Jesus described his second coming with the destruction of Jerusalem!?!?!!?…. (2) there parallel here with ………….Exodus 24:10. And THEY SAW THE GOD OF ISRAEL : and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. 11. And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also THEY SAW GOD, and did eat and drink………..But Christ said….. John 1:18. NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. A person can see with their understanding and or see with their eyes…. It can see “seen” for certain that everything that Christ described was seen by the folks of that day in His coming but do they perceive that was him? …So what Christ said is true every eye saw him but the world does not see him….. With the eye they and folks still today can see everything Christ described to have taken place, but they do not “keep” ( believe and understand) his words as such they do not see him nor shall they ever.
The saints who have physical died faithful in the flesh (every man in his own order) are changed in the blink of an eye & caught up to sit on that Great white throne ( this congregation of the saints is the body of Christ that folks will answer to at the judgment and these saints will judge all men who cannot see Christ along with the rest of the world……Folks think they are waiting to see Jesus but they will NEVER see Jesus himself they will only see the body of Christ condemn them the saints judge the world (Rev 3:21; 1 Cor 6:2 et al) the saints are the body of Christ…that is the only part of Christ they shall see….only the saints shall see God face to face…..most peoples idea of the second coming & day of the Lord and the judgment is completely wrong

DAY OF THE LORD”/ YEAR OF THE LORD – does NOT last for 24 hours!?!..Also means the day of resurrection & judgment do not last for one hour or one day either! They only begin (NOT END) in a certain hour & on a certain 24 hour day ….”SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS to arise”…..NOT..”come & get (your new resurrected body) it while it is still hot, only 24 hours of solar power left”!?!

#3 There is a sharp contrast between THREE groups :
(1) “PREDESTINED DAMNED” who were NEVER written in the book of life ………..Rev 17: 8 WHOSE NAMES WERE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, …as contrasted …EPH 1: 4. According as he hath CHOSEN US in him BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD
(2) “MANY CALLED”= ONLY and ALL SAINTS (those who come to Christ) are written in the book of life … Philippians 4:3… ……Rev 21:27; (Only saints are Called and elect; Rom 1:6-7 et al) This is THE CHRUCH and ONLY these can have their names blotted out of the book of life ….….Heb 12:23 to the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn … WHICH ………are WRITTEN in heaven,
(3) THE FEW CHOSEN: Those saints who were alive in group #2 who are now physically dead. They died “faithful” these are the FEW that were chosen faithful…….Rev 3:5. ……; and I
will not BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE, (Ps 69:28) …. These are the FEW that are CHOSEN and now that they have died and are saved then “once saved THEY CAN NEVER BE LOST”

JDP…WITHOUT FAITH WE CAN’T PLEASE GOD, JESUS SAID I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE, IF YOU SEEN ME YOU HAVE SEEN THE FATHER, THE WORD WAS, WITH GOD THE FATHER EVERYWHERE HE WENT, THE WORD BECAME FLESH MANIFESTED IN CHRIST, THE HOLY SPIRIT REST UPON JESUS AT HIS BAPTISM, AND THE FATHER SAID ‘THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, HEAR YE HIM’ AND THAT WE MUST DO TO BE SAVED. EVERYTHING VISIBLE OR INVISIBLE WAS CREATED BY HIM OR FOR HIM.THEREFORE FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION JESUS HAD BEEN INVOLVED, EVEN TO THE END OF TIME, COMING SOON. JESUS NEVER CONCERNED HIMSELF BUT ALWAYS HELPED OTHERS BY HIS MIRACLES BUT THE ELITE OF THE DAY WOULD NOT GIVE HIM ANY CREDIT AS TO WHAT HE SAID IN THE SYNAGOGUE THEREFORE HE HAD TO SPEAK IN PARABLES. JESUS TALKS ABOUT THE VINEYARD HOW LABORS WERE SENT. LABORS = APOSTLES, THEY WERE KILLED AND HOW THE FATHER SENT THE SON, HE WAS ALSO KILLED, THE VINEYARD = PEOPLE AND AREAS/COUNTRIES JESUS CAME TO SEEK AND RESTORE THE LOST THOSE OF ISRAEL FIRST AND THEN ALL THE REST WHO WERE NOT A JEW BY BIRTH, BUT LIKE IN THE PAST JEWS REJECTED JESUS AND BLESSINGS THAT COULD HAVE COME FROM HIS ACCEPTANCE, SO HIS SAVING GRACE WAS GIVEN TO THE GENTILES TO ALL WHO ARE ADDED TO HIS CHURCH, 5 STEP ON BEING ADDED TO HIS CHURCH 1. HEARING THE WORD, 2. OBEYING AND CONFESSING THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST, 3. A WATERY BAPTISM COMPLETE EMERSON UNDER WATER CONFESSING YOUR SINS AND ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS 4. RISING FROM IT AS A NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST CONFESSING JESUS AS ‘THE’ CHRIST, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS 5.LIVING FOR THE LORD DAILY. REPENTING OF SIN. YOUR ADDED TO HIS CHURCH LIKE SO MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN .DOING THIS ONE PUTS ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF CHRIST ABLE TO CALL UPON GOD ANY TIME FOR ANY ISSUE AS WE SHOULD PRAY TO GOD ALL THE TIME EVEN FOR EVIL MEN THAT THEY TOO CAN BE CHANGED TO WORSHIP CHRIST, ANF FOR THE POOR, SICK, AND HELPLESS, IT IS SAid that the prayer os a righteous man avails much.
