2 June 2019 - It Isn't Over Until You Win - Dr Marilyn Hickey Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPraise and Worship songs performed:
Some people stay in your life for a Season, some for a Reason, and some for a Lifetime. Dr Marilyn Hickey is almost 88 years old — still healthy and traveling all over the world for ministry. Luke 21:1-4 - Jesus was amazed with the old widow who gave all that she had. Our generous giving amazes Jesus. When yousow your finances as a seed, you will receive a harvest — it will keep bearing fruit. Money is coming your way. “He looked up, and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury. He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins. He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them, for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”” (Luke 21:1-4 WEB) Once, Dr Marilyn Hickey needed US$30,000 to fill up her ministry needs for a speaking campaign in Pakistan. A stranger at the airport gave her that exact amount that she needed when she was about to fly to Pakistan. Sometimes God only shows up at the last minute, but we can still believe for last minute miracles. Your seed has a harvest. The widow’s story is still being told today. Surely she wouldn’t have known that her story would still be used to inspire people thousands of years later. Declare this: My seed and my tithe has longevity. Matthew 15:21-28 - The Canaanite woman had faith in Jesus, that He could heal her demon-possessed daughter. That faith led Jesus to go all the way to the region of Tyre and Sidon. Faith attracts Jesus. Jesus was amazed by her faith. Declare this: The game is not over until I win. Don’t give up — hold on to faith. “Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!” But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.” But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.” But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.” (Matthew 15:21-28 WEB) Declare this: I need to read the word because Jesus is in the word. It is a living word. Just take one Scripture and don’t give up. When you’re about God’s business, God is about your business. You can receive bad news, or you can change bad news with prayer. As your days are, so shall your strength be. As a believer, you should get stronger and healthier over the years! When she was 23 years old, Dr Marilyn Hickey had a condition called “an enlarged heart”, but she miraculously received a brand-new heart while she sat in a service. Over 60 times in the New Testament, we are referred to as “beloved”. It is not arrogant to call yourself beloved by the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Declare this: I have great faith that moves mountains in Jesus’ name.
