Faith is… Flow!
Ez.37:1 & 10 “The Lord took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley filled with bones… So I spoke the message as he commanded me, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feet—a great army.”
The first thing faith teaches us is this, Faith Overcomes Fear and Shame. The second thing faith teaches us is, Faith Inspires Boldness But Requires Humility. Jairus was a synagogue leader but he defied the convention. These Read the rest of this entry
D.A.B
Mark 5:33-34 “Then the frightened woman, trembling at the realization of what had happened to her, came and fell to her knees in front of him and told him what she had done. And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”
Jesus could have said, “Woman! Why are you trying to make me unclean?” But Jesus said, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.” With this statement, Jesus did three huge things in the life Read the rest of this entry
Be Deliberate
Mark 5:28-29 For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.” Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body that she had been healed of her terrible condition.
Mark 5:27 “She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched his robe.” Unlike Jairus, this woman did not approach Jesus from the front. She was afraid because of her condition. She probably Read the rest of this entry
Faith is… Come!
Heb.4:16 “So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.”
Please read Mark 5:21-43. For twelve years this woman was bleeding. For twelve years Jairus was rejoicing. If you have a daughter, you would understand what I am saying. Daughters are the best, no offense, please. Read the rest of this entry
About Time
Luke 5:8,10-11 “When Simon Peter realized what had happened, he fell to his knees before Jesus and said, “Oh, Lord, please leave me—I’m such a sinful man.” Jesus replied to Simon, “Don’t be afraid! From now on you’ll be fishing for people!” … they left everything and followed Jesus.
It is God’s goodness and His kindness that leads to repentance. When people come to the realization that there is nowhere and no one outside God that can heal, save, deliver, and renew, they genuinely turn to God. Peter had Read the rest of this entry
His Name
Acts 2:21 “But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’”
Yesterday, we observed from examining the lives of the characters in our anchor scripture (Mark 5:21- 43), that none of them had a relationship with Jesus but He answered their prayers. The truth is, you do not need to have a Read the rest of this entry
Hear His Voice
Mark 5:36 “But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.” (emphasis added).
This season, Jesus’ direct Words to us are Don’t Be Afraid, Just Have Faith. Please read Mark 5:21-43, it is our anchor scripture for the season. Hanging out with Jesus must have been frustrating for the disciples sometimes. Read the rest of this entry
Not Without III
Ps.46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”
There is no true worship without surrender and the major thing that keeps us from surrendering is worry. Can God really take care of me if I surrender to Him? If I surrender my life to God, can He really put food on the table? Read the rest of this entry
Not Without,II
John 4:23 (KJV) “…true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.”
Yesterday we listed three categories of people that God is looking for. These three categories of people are; loyal people, intercessors, and worshippers. These three categories of people Read the rest of this entry
Not Without, I
1 Chr.21:24 (NIV) “But King David replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying the full price. I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or sacrifice a burnt offering that costs me nothing.”
For there to be true worship, there must be Sacrifice. There can be no true worship without sacrifice. John 4:16 “Go and get your husband,” Jesus told her.” For that woman, Read the rest of this entry
