Good Morning Thursday...
Thank you Father for the blessing of this NEW day. Please continue to fill our HEARTS & MINDS with your TRUTH & LOVE so we stay focused during the trials of TODAY. We ask this in YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’s Name. Amen! - Our Father Sees From Heaven And Rewards Our Faith! As humans we are laden with limitations that Our Father In Heaven is not. We can't see the future and The Bible is explicit that we should not seek out those who say they can. These people in The Bible are called "mediums" and we are to stay away. The Bible gives us many reasons to stay away from these people. I believe the biggest reason is because we are suppose to trust in Our Father to provide, protect, discipline, Love, and do what is right for us. If we knew the future, we would run the risk of becoming prideful, crafty, or completely abandon the fact that we need Our Father and All He Offers. In The Gospel Message, particularly Mark Chapter 5, we meet a character name Jairus. Jairus was "one of the rulers of the synagogue" and was obviously a man with status and position. Although he was a man of position, all we see is a desperate dad begging Our Savior Yeshua to heal his daughter. During the journey to get to Jairus's daughter we read that "some came" from Jairus's house and proclaimed "your daughter is dead. Why trouble The Teacher any longer." Now had this been just a regular man or a "medium" that Jairus was speaking to, the story may have ended there, but as we know, he was talking to Jesus Christ, not an ordinary man, but God Incarnate In The Flesh. The words that Our Savior spoke next are the basis of our entire faith: "Do not be afraid; only believe." Many times our faith begins by rejecting what people around us are saying. After all, we do not live "by sight, but by faith." We all have a choice to believe others or believe Our Father and Savior, God Almighty. Jairus chose the later. Jairus's faith in The Messiah Our Savior earned him a daughter who was brought back to Life. Our Savior not only healed the little 12 year old girl, but brought glory and praise to Our Father. Mark it down! (Pun Intended) Faith heals! Our Father knows that we are blind, especially compared to Him. Our Father knows that living by faith and not by sight are counterintuitive to what we learn growing up in this fallen world and does not come naturally. Maybe that is one reason Jesus raised Jairus's daughter from the dead. Our Savior didn't do it for the girl, certainly she was better off "sleeping" than in this cruel world, but He did it for those that witnessed the miracle, and for us. Yeshua, Jesus Christ The King, was trying to teach us that even if we cannot "see" the future, He Does. Our Father and Savior knows when we are trusting in Him, and for our own good, He tells us not to trust in fortune tellers, but rather Trust In Him. Fortune tellers can do us no good. Trust in The Creator of All Things heals not only our loved ones, but also pulls us out of the despair of mourning death. When we trust in Him... Our Father Sees From Heaven and Rewards Our Faith! Praise Yah! God Bless Every One. Have a Great Faith-Filled Day! The Word of YHWH (Yahweh/LORD/God/Elohim): “Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him. While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.” And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw a tumult and those who wept and wailed loudly. When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him. But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying. Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement.” Mark 5:21-24, 35-42 “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” II Corinthians 5:7 “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Mark 11:23-24 “Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.” Romans 14:22 “And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:26 “Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.” John 14:9-11
