"I Can See!"

As Jesus went out from there, two blind men followed Him shouting, "have mercy on us, Son of David!"
When He entered the house, the blind men approached Him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I can do this?"
"Yes  Lord", they answered Him.
Then He touched their eyes saying, "Let it be done according to your faith!" And their eyes were opened. Matthew 9:27-30

How exciting for the blind men, today was their day. They had heard about Jesus, they felt the excitement growing amongst the people and searched for him. They had to rely on others to take them to him.

Finally they were in front of Jesus, Jesus had just come out of Jarius' house. They followed shouting, "have mercy on us Son of David!"

Ah! these men recognised something. Isaiah 35:5-6 confirms Jesus as the Messiah. The scribes and Pharisees had trouble recognising Jesus because He did not fit the idea they had of the Messiah but the poor, the sick, the lost did, at last here was their salvation, their healer, there deliverer.

Jesus waited until he arrived somewhere and was going into a house before He dealt with these men. He allowed the blind men to struggle to keep up, to maintain and increase their desire.

He asks them, "Do you believe I can do this?" Their actions already testify to the fact that they do but He wanted them to confess it.

Is Jesus testing you today? Don't give up press in and receive your miracle. Kill self-pity and unbelief go for gold, go for God!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
