Daily Devotional - The Lamb's Way, February 8, 2010
MARK 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Ask yourself this question: When does the healing process begin? Healing only begins when people reach out and do something. This is true in the spiritual realm just like it is in the physical world. If we just let sickness and disease go, it will generally kill someone. The usual response is to react to the sickness in some way, such as with medications or doctor treatments. When something is done to alter a sick condition, change begins to take place. We must take that first step.... our action creates a reaction...
It's the same way in the spiritual realm. God is always available. Healing and deliverance is always there for us. It's our responsibility to take that "first step". The Word tells us to "seek and ye shall find..."! (Matthew 7:7) Nothing is "found" until the "seeking" begins. And the more radical we are in out reaction to sickness and infirmity, the more glory God gets as we exercise our faith. Radical faith gets radical results. That's how blind eyes are opened, deaf ears are opened, cancer is dissolved, new hearts and kidneys are created and that's also how the dead are raised back to life....
Look at this example of radical faith: A woman reaches out to touch the garment of Jesus and is healed instantly (Mark 5:25), ... People line up in the streets believing that if a man's shadow touches them as he passes by, they will be healed.... (Acts 5:15)
You have to do something in response to any attempt of the enemy to attack you or your loved ones.... The Word simply says that we must resist the devil.... How does that happen?... by our actions and words. When the name of Jesus in invoked, the entire atmosphere changes....
Do you need something from the Lord? How much do you want it? Are you willing to believe anything He tells you? Everything begins to change when you do something. Don't just sit around thinking that "If God wants something to happen, He will make it happen...". That's foolish thinking. He told us to do it... Our action generates His reaction , which generates positive results. It's sorta like "compound glue"... When our faith mixes with His desire (will) for our lives, great and mighty things happen in both the physical and spiritual realm.. God is glorified. If you shall ask anything in my name... (John 14:14)
Don't be a victim,..... For in the Lord, we are already victorious. You've got to know who you are in Christ!
Rick
