Faith Meets Obedience
“How about this Jesus? How about you heal my hand and then I'll let everybody see it when you’ve healed it. Lord I'll come to the front when you heal my hand, and I'll give a testimony. That's not how Jesus does things. He says come on down with your withered hand that you've been hiding from everybody, then stretch it out. He stretches out his hand and as he attempts to do what he has not been able to do his entire life then Jesus heals his hand. Do you see where faith meets the voice of Jesus? He took a step, reached out your hand and it was restored.” Pastor Tim
Jesus is asking us to do something we have attempted many times on our own without success so then we just hid it from everyone. But this time is different because you have a spoken word from the voice of a loving Father.
“He (Jesus) said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other” Mark 3:5
Faith meets obedience and your life is never the same. This week we have walked the paths of Kingdom thinking, learning we must hear things in order to see things change, we know He is here to revive hope and breathe life back into us, but we must step forward first. I encourage you to meditate on what He has been showing you this week. All you need is a little faith; the size of a mustard seed and He will meet you there. Obey what He is asking. Step forward. Reach out to someone you trust and share with them what you are struggling with. Remember, there is freedom in honesty.
Holy Spirit, thank you for never being willing to allow us to stay hidden in darkness and despair. We may not always like how you call us out and expose those things we don’t want others to know about, but we know you have our best in mind. Here we are stepping forward in faith to stretch out to you and our kingdom family that which we’ve struggled with. We trust you to heal us and our family. We know when we struggle with something it affects everyone around us. Our heart is to have a whole, healed family. Thank you for restoration and freedom.
Please reach out for prayer. You are not alone. Our Kingdom family is here so we can all walk through this together.
