i sometimes feel overwhelmed by the bible and churches and denominations and debates and arguments and comments and posts and blogs and life...until i think about what Jesus wants me to do AND FOCUS ONLY ON THAT.
i want to see people healed just like when Jesus healed them...no "waiting for healing to 'manifest.'" no "naming and claiming" healing and prosperity. i want to see people saved...from demons, deception, disease, debt, and directionlessness.
what can i do but trust the Spirit in all of this?
all i can do is lay hands on my sick children and command sicknesses to leave just like Jesus did, believing that He is still alive and doing the same things He did in the past. because he doesn't change...because "Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever." all i can do is what he did by faith in him.
when i tell people about Jesus, am i responsible for whether they accept him or not?
i am only responsible to do what He did--to tell people the good news: that the Kingdom Of God is near!
so i'll do that, no matter what happens.
i believe i have enough faith...Jesus said if we had faith the size of the smallest seed of all, that would be enough to move mountains with a command.
i have enough faith to say, "in the name of Jesus, be healed."
"in the name of Jesus, come out of them."
i have enough faith to pray to God in the name of Jesus and expect the will of God to be done.
so.
i'll simply do that.
i'll do things in such a way that God and God only receives all glory.
what if my children continue to cough?
well, what if they continued to do whatever they wanted after i told them and demonstrated to them the will of God? am i any less responsible to do those two things?
i feel the same way about healing them.
who alone has the power to save and heal? Jesus. not me.
so i'll do what i'm responsible to do, naturally and supernaturally, physically and spiritually.
i will rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
that's all i can do.
if i lay hands, and the sick person remains sick, then i'll love them and comfort them with all of my ability, spiritually and physically, naturally and supernaturally. the least i can do is pray for miracles and the supernatural. what other hope do i have except in the one who is all powerful and all loving?
i believe this is what Jesus wants me to do.
so i'll do it.
period.
