He speaks life to dead situations

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.” Isaiah 41v10 (AMP)

Beloved, fear not. It doesn’t matter what situation you are going through or what is happening, fear not. Why? Because God is with you. There was once a leader of the local synagogue called Jarius. His little daughter was ill and dying. He came to meet Jesus to come and lay His hands on her. Hmm. You can imagine the kind of pain he must have been going through, the hopelessness he must have felt. And then he saw Jesus. Thank God. And Jesus agreed to come with him. On the way, Jesus was “distracted” by the woman with the issue of blood who touched Him and was healed. He had a conversation with her. Now, Jarius on a normal day might have been happy for her, but today, he might have been thinking, Lord, hurry up, my daughter is dying. I don’t know how many of you have felt that Jesus is distracted or not attending to you as you would want Him to. Lo and behold, some people came from his house with this message – “Your daughter has died. Why bother and distress the Teacher any further?” (Mark 5v35, AMP). He must have felt awful, sad, down, not known what to do. How many of you have received disheartening, discouraging, depressing news before? Mark 5v36 says:

KJV: “As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.”

NIV: “Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

TLB: “But Jesus ignored their comments and said to Jarius, “Don’t be afraid. Just trust Me.”

AMP: “Overhearing but ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear, only keep on believing.”

Jesus is saying to someone today – don’t fear, forget and ignore the comments, the snickering – keep on believing. I am with you. Jesus went on to raise the young lady from the dead. Even the wind and the sea obey our God. Even dead situations obey Him. Beloved, it doesn’t matter if that situation looks dead, dead, dead – Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life (John 11v25) and He is telling you, don’t be afraid, only keep on believing.

Prayer

Father, I thank You for Your Word this day. Thank You for You are with me and it doesn’t matter what a situation might look like, because You are with me, all is well. Blessed be Your name forevermore in Jesus name, amen.
