Faith is based on what you do not see. If you got to see it first, you won't see it.

But Dr. Tony Evans says faith is expressed through actions,

whether or not your emotions are on board.

So you move in faith even when you don't feel it.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr Tony Evans.

When we're facing a crisis, big or small, we have two choices, listen to our feelings or listen to our faith.

In today's message from the archives, Dr Evans takes us to John Chapter 11 as he explains how our

choice affects how we pray and how God answers. Lazarus is sick and we know from the story he's sick. And we know from the story he's sick unto death because it would only be a few

days later he would die. So he's not just sick. He's seriously sick. And whatever medical help there was was insufficient to resolve the problem of his medical

crisis. So what Martha and Mary did, the Sisters of Lazarus, is they went to Jesus.

They sent word to Jesus. You and I would call that today. They prayed.

They sent word to Jesus.

Jesus, our family member, has a crisis.

There's a life and death crisis, and we're crying to you to resolve the crisis.

We're told in verse three some of their prayer requests,

the one whom you love is sick. We're told in verse five, now Jesus loved Martha and her

sister and Lazarus.

So evidently spiritual people get sick.

So don't ever let anybody tell you

just because you have trouble means God is far away.

Or you're not in fellowship with God.

They're in fellowship with God, but he got sick.
