Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts shares this sermon, which is titled “Overcome Your Insecurities”. The text for the message is from Luke 8:43–48. “it says now a woman having a flow of blood for 12 years who had spent all of her livelihood on Physicians and could not be healed by any came from behind and touched the border of His Garment and immediately her flow of blood stopped and Jesus said who touched me when all denied it Peter and those with him said master the multitudes throng impress you and you say who touched me but Jesus said somebody touched me for I perceived power going out for me now when the woman saw that she was not hidden she came trembling and falling down before him she declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched him and how she was healed immediately and he said to her daughter be of good cheer your faith has made you
Pastor Sarah teaches us in this message about overcoming our insecurities and living the life that God has designed for us. If you would get down in your spirit that he came for the underdogs, that he came for the people who didn’t mind coming from behind, that he’s not looking for the person who came in first place, that he’s the last place kind of God, and that he came for those of us who felt like we’d been invisible to the world because he sees us, issue of blood; it’s not an unfamiliar story for those of us who have been in church.
Pastor Sarah tells us about her experience about feeling invincible: I actually think I got a superpower when I was younger. I was probably 14 years old when I tapped into this superpower, and it was being invisible. There was this way that I would carry myself when I would walk in the rooms where I could just fade into the background and no one had to know I was there. I learned to be invisible, and there was some comfort in being invisible because when you have shame down on the inside of you, when anyone looks at you, it’s like they can see all of your secrets, like they can see all of your fears, and I just want it to be invisible. I got pregnant at 13 years old. Jake’s daughter was pregnant at 13; I had my baby at 14 years old, and all I wanted to do was be invisible. I didn’t want anyone to see how badly I was hurting and breaking on the inside. I didn’t want anyone to know that I was so unsure of myself and unsure of being a parent at such a young age. I just wanted to be invisible, and then As I Grew Older and met other people all around the world, I realized that I wasn’t the only one who had learned to be invisible. Sometimes being a woman is like living in an aquarium; it’s like you can be seen but not touched. Things just magically happen in our world: the laundry is magically done, the project is magically completed. Everyone sees this working, but how often are we actually touched down on the inside, in the core of our pain and our heartbreak? Because the reality is that when we have these traumatic experiences, we often get so caught up in them. Surviving and just trying to pretend like we’re okay means that we never actually recover.
This is a message that you will enjoy.
