You Gotta Have Faith!

"But Jesus again spoke to the woman, 'Your faith has saved you; go in peace.'" - Luke 7:50

There are four gospels covering the life of Jesus and in each of them, He heals numerous people. He also walked on water and multiplied food for people. Sometimes we see these miracles as a one-sided street - God does all the work - when in reality, we do about 50% of it. Read this verse above, whose faith saved the woman? Her own! She had to believe it for it to happen. Read Jesus' miracles in the gospels. To almost every blind, dumb, mute, paralytic sick person, Jesus said "as you have believed" before healing them. If you believe a little, then you are setting yourself up for a little. Jesus told Peter to walk out to Him in the water and when his faith started to fade, Peter began to sink. Jesus knew why it happened and asked Peter why he doubted. All you want out of life, out of your God is already in your hands. Jesus has given it all to you and it is truthfully up to you to ask and expect it. Many of you doubt when you ask for things and what you're really doing is giving God so little room for Him to do anything. You have to give God room to do His thing! Give Him something to work with! From now on, ask God in true faith for something and expect it. Give thanks for it because if you believe, it will come. If it delays, keep expecting because it will come! And if it doesn't come, then evaluate your own faith - when Jesus says to you "your faith has saved you" how much do you think your faith will do?

Today's Prayer:
Lord Jesus, help my weak faith. All that we could ask, You lovingly provide as long as we ask You in faith. Help us let go of our doubts and open our hearts to You. In Your Name we pray, amen.
