Text: Mark 10:46-52
• When the light comes your way, certain things will automatically happen.
• Some of the things the Light of the world did for Bartimaeus the day He passed by;
The stigma in the life of Bartimaeus disappeared. The world loves to call you by that which is not okay in your life. Luke 13:11-17
Bartimaeus didn’t know he had many enemies until the day he began calling for help. The world wants you to remain in your problem.
His prayer was heard. Many people asked him to shut up but Jesus heard him out of the crowd.
- God said “call on Me” in Jeremiah 33:3. You can’t call with your mouth closed.
+God asks us to Call on Him. Isaiah 55:6. Call implies “Make it loud.” - Bartimaeus made it loud and God heard him.
When God heard him, God sent the same people asking Bartimaeus to shut up to go and bring him.
- When the Light of God shines in your life, your enemies will become your servants. Acts 16:25-34
When his enemies got to him, they prophesied to him saying “Be of good comfort.” In other words, they are saying, “you are about to get a miracle.” They were already congratulating him.
As soon as Bartimaeus heard that the Lord is calling for him, he removed his garment with the assurance that he would never need it again. Isaiah 61:1-3
He ceased to be a burden.
