Description

In this inspiring and timely message drawn from the story of Lazarus, we are reminded that faith isn’t a one-time experience—it’s a journey. Through the lens of Martha’s encounter with Jesus after her brother’s death, we see how faith evolves, stretches, and grows even in seasons of delay, loss, or impossibility.

Martha believed Jesus could heal Lazarus while he was alive—but when Jesus arrived after Lazarus had died, her words still carried power: “Even now, whatever You ask of God, He will give it to You.” This declaration becomes the foundation of the message: faith that believes beyond the grave, beyond the closed doors, beyond the deadline.

This sermon is a call to those whose situations seem too far gone—relationships, dreams, ministries, or health—reminding us that Jesus is not restricted by time or circumstance. Even now… He can do it.

I. Elevated Faith

John 11:22
Martha’s faith evolved—from believing in healing to believing in resurrection.

• Delays don't cancel God's promises; they elevate our faith.
• "Even Now" faith dares to expect what seems impossible.
• Elevated faith stretches into the supernatural, into what we haven’t seen God do yet.

 II. Even Now Faith

 Luke 8:49–50
When Jairus was told his daughter was dead, Jesus said: “Fear not: believe only.”

Even Now means:

1. It’s never too late with God.
2. Delay is not denial.
3. God moves beyond deadlines.
4. Resurrection is possible.
5. Faith confronts finality.
6. Faith finds a way.

Reflection: God doesn’t just heal—He makes whole. Faith thrives in the face of impossibility.

 III. At Your Word

 Matthew 8:8
The centurion said, “Just speak the word and my servant will be healed.”

• Martha and the centurion shared the same truth: If You say it, that settles it.
• God’s Word still has the power to shift reality.
• Faith doesn’t always require presence—just permission from heaven.

 IV. Prophetic Declaration

God is speaking LIFE to what has looked lifeless:

1. He’s reviving what you gave up on.
2. “Even Now” faith opens closed doors and redeems lost seasons.
3. Missed moments are becoming miraculous movements.

V. Cold Case / Cold Faith

Like the show Cold Case, where unsolved crimes are reopened, many of us have filed away:

• Dead dreams
• Forgotten prayers
• Abandoned assignments

But today, God is reopening the case.

• The enemies of faith—fear, doubt, and delay—have been exposed.
• Your faith is being revived.
• The case is reopened and the verdict is VICTORY!

Takeaway Truth:

God’s breaking point is our building point. Even now—when all seems lost—faith still works. God still speaks. And resurrection is still possible.

Closing Invitation:
If you’ve closed the door on something because of time, pain, or silence—this message is for you. Tune in and declare with boldness: Even Now, God Can.
