“IF HE BE ONLY LIFTED UP!” (You Would Not Just Be A People Going To Church!) Mark 10:46; And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the high-way side begging. Here he’s giving you the way to come out of the flesh. Highway side begging; Romans 7:18; For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. John 3:30; He must increase, but I must decrease. “IF HE BE ONLY LIFTED UP!” Mark 10:47; And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. v48; And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. You have to want to be delivered, being fed up with that state. Colossians 3:2; Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. A want to change of bodily condition. “IF HE BE ONLY LIFTED UP!” Mark 10:49; And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. v50; And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. When you’re really mindful of the Lord, you’ll have a certain peace about leaving yourself. Job 22:21; Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. 1 Peter 5:7; Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. “IF HE BE ONLY LIFTED UP!” Mark 10:51; And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. v52; And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way. (A People Being The Church!) A picture perfect portrait. 1 Corinthians 15:10; But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. “IF HE BE ONLY LIFTED UP!” Artist saying, Are You This? 1 Corinthians 3:11; For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. “IF HE BE ONLY LIFTED UP!” John 12:32; And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. “IF HE BE ONLY LIFTED UP!” Teaching!
