MATTHEW 8:5-13 (WHERE THEM FRIENDS AT?)

MATTHEW 8:6 

YOUR LIFE IS THE SUM TOTAL OF WHAT YOU HAVE ALLOWED GOD TO DO IN AND THROUGH YOU

YOUR LIFE IS ALSO A RESULT FOR SOMEONE ELSE’S CARE FOR YOU!

WE ARE AN IMAGE OF OUR OBEDIENCE OR DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD

MATTHEW 8:5

MATTHEW 8:6

THIS CENTURION PUTS HIS LIFE ON THE LINE,

REPUTATION ON THE LINE, RANKING ON THE LINE AND DID NOT ASK FOR ANYTHING FOR HIMSELF

SURROGATE FAITH – THE TYPE OF FAITH THAT BELIEVES GOD ON BEHALF OF SOMEONE ELSE 

MIRACLES DO NOT ALWAYS SHOW UP IN THE FORM OF PROVISION, THEY SHOW UP IN THE FORM OF PEOPLE!!!!

YOU CAN NOT GET SURROGATE FAITH UNTIL YOU GET PERSONAL FAITH 

MATTHEW 8:7-10

MATTHEW 8:11-12

3 GROUPS OF PEOPLE THAT THE JEWS LOOKED DOWN ON. 

- LEPERS

- WOMEN

- GENTILES 

MATTHEW 8:13

3 TYPES OF FRIENDS YOU NEED

1.     YOU NEED FIXERS 

FIXERS ARE PEOPLE THAT HELP YOU SEE YOU

IF YOU DON’T HAVE FIXERS, YOU HAVE ENABLERS

2.     YOU NEED FIGHTERS

FIGHTERS ARE THE PEOPLE WHO PROTECT YOU BUT ALSO PUSH YOU

IF YOU DON’T HAVE FIGHTERS, YOU HAVE REFEREES

3.     YOU NEED FRIENDS THAT ARE FULL OF FAITH (FAITH- FULL)

FAITH-FULL PEOPLE BELIEVE IN YOU, CELEBRATE YOU, SEE MORE IN YOU THAN YOU SEE IN YOURSELF 

IF YOU DON’T HAVE FAITH-FULL FRIENDS YOU HAVE LEECHES
