We no longer have to sacrifice bulls and rams. We must never become too familiar with God. A lot of people in their bid to be uncommon, have barricaded themselves. Not Jesus, He chose to let people push and touch Him. But the person that places a demand on Him will get results. So when you hang out with God daily, value Him.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The healing of the blind man: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/116\/JHN.9.6-7.\">Jn.9:6<\/a> &#8220;<em>Then he spit on the ground, made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud over the blind man\u2019s eyes. 7\u00a0He told him, \u201cGo wash yourself in the pool of Siloam\u201d (Siloam means \u201csent\u201d). So the man went and washed and came back seeing!<\/em>&#8221; Picture that for a moment, this man was blind but he was not deaf but he submitted to whatever God was doing. In similar scenarios, a lot of people will get angry or irritated. Some will say it is not even cultured to spit in public. If we meet Jesus in the flesh, some of us probably will not even let Him into our houses because of the rules we put in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Jesus was saying, \u201cI made you out of dust, so I am going to use the same dust as a point of contact for new eyes\u201d. The sand became a point of contact for the man\u2019s new set of eyeballs. Many people would have criticized Jesus. Why wouldn\u2019t He just speak the Word? Why does Jesus have to use a point of contact? He is Jesus, He can do whatever pleases Him.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Peter\u2019s Shadow<\/span>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/116\/ACT.5.15-16.\">Acts 5:15<\/a>\u00a0\u201c<em>As a result of the apostles\u2019 work, sick people were brought out into the streets on beds and mats so that Peter\u2019s shadow might fall across some of them as he went by. 16\u00a0\u2026<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>and they were all healed<\/strong><\/span><\/em>\u201d [with emphasis].
