Sermons / Cloaked: When Jesus Passes By—Cry Out, Throw Off the Label, and Step Into Your Miracle

Pastor Robert Tisdale continues the “Cloaked” message from Mark 10:46–49, teaching that miracles begin when you stop obsessing over what you’ve lost and start using what you have left. Using blind Bartimaeus, he urges the church to sense the urgency of the moment when Jesus is passing, respond immediately, and refuse distractions or ambivalence. He highlights Bartimaeus’ cry—calling Jesus by name, recognizing Him as “Son of David,” and pleading for mercy—as worship and deliverance language that cuts through the noise despite social pressure to be silent. Tisdale warns against offense, skepticism, and relying on flawed messengers to block God’s call, then emphasizes Bartimaeus casting away his cloak as rejecting labels and identity, calling listeners to throw off shame, bondage, and negative self-description and move toward the altar in faith. 00:00 Cloaked Theme Intro 01:08 Sensing The Moment 04:04 Information To Revelation 07:51 Power In The Name 10:44 Deliverance Language Mercy 14:11 Silencing The Crowd 18:31 Jesus Stood Still 20:49 He Calleth Thee 31:06 Casting Off The Cloak 41:19 Altar Call Move Now
