And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace and be whole of thy plague. Mark 5:34
Faith is believing God for what seems impossible. The Bible says, without faith it is impossible to please God.
I know we hear about faith all the time and may feel like not that subject again. God wants to remind us that faith works. Recently, I dreamt I was in a store. The store owner was relocating to a bigger building to continue doing business. There were a few items still in the store that needed to be packed and transported to the new location. When I looked around the store, there were on every shelf a decorative piece that read ‘faith works’. It was colored in red.
You may say that is my dream, but I believe the Lord wants to convey a much - needed message in this time to all of us. He wants to remind us that ‘faith works’. The challenge many of us face is we may have been believing for a while. Holding on to faith and now feel like giving up. The truth is we don’t know when our faith will work for us, so we need to keep believing.
The woman in the scripture reference of today had an issue of blood for 12 years. My God! The Bible said, ‘And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse’ Mark 5:26. This woman had every reason to just give up and die. But she heard Jesus was in town and decided, let me try this man that everyone is talking about. She must have heard about all that Jesus did and so she moved with faith and said, ‘if I can but touch the hem of his garment, I will be made whole’. Now listen! She did not think of touching Jesus or His full clothing. She said, just the hem! My God, that’s faith! What she heard about Jesus was so convincing, she so believed that just by touching the hem of His clothes, she will be heal, and indeed, she was completely healed. Hallelujah!!!!!
Were you believing God before to do something in your life and have given up? He is saying to us today, FAITH WORKS! Get back to the place of believing and exercise your faith. We do not know the day nor the hour that our faith will work for us. Keep believing, keep having faith. Take some time and read the word of God to build up your faith. Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
