Love you all, praying for you.
I just love God’s Word. It tells of people just like us, of situations just like we face. It tells us what those with faith did, and what those without it, did. It gives the answers you need by instruction and example. John 4:46 – Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death. “Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.” The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” Jesus replied, “You may go. Your son will live.” Suddenly, surprisingly, unexpectedly… the moment of truth. Right now, right here, what will you do. “The man took Jesus at his word and departed.” Wow – not another word. He turned, and left. Not another prayer, Not another word, not another request. It’s time for faith, and what you do next will reveal it. Sometimes we are so used to praying, that’s not really praying at all, it’s doubting and complaining. Sometimes we’re so used to being in bondage, that when the door is opened for our freedom, we don’t take it. Sometimes, it’s time for not another word. God told Moses, why are you still praying, stop praying, get moving. Get these people across! And they walked through on dry land. John 4:51 – While he was still on his way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, “The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour. 1:00 in the afternoon – suddenly the fever was gone, and he was completely healed. Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and all his household believed. Praying that you will ask God, and bring your requests before Him. That you will petition the One with the power to move mountains, and part seas. That you would bring your requests to Him, that you will believe His Word, and call on His Name. But praying also that when the moment of truth is upon you. That you will not say another word. That you will just obey. That you will move your feet, that you will depart when He says depart. That you will move when He says move, that you will leave when He says leave. That your faith will get into your feet. Sometimes it’s time to not say another word. But to believe what He says – with your feet, with your hands, with your money, with your time, with your obedience right now. Praying that when He answers your prayer, you will act like it. So that while you are on your way – your faith will release the power that He has just waiting for you – for your salvation, for your deliverance, for your promise. So are you still talking, when God said go? You believe with your words, but you really believe with your feet. Praying that you will ask God if you’ve missed anything. That you’ll never say another word, when it’s time to act. Love you all, dad
