Believe, Receive & TestifyÂ
Through both His words and works,
Christ proclaims His true identity
to the disciples and the multitudes.
At first even His companions are
perplexed by His power & authority,
wondering: What manner of man is
this, that even the wind and the sea
obey Him. But patiently – through
miracles of Exorcism, Healing and
even Raising the dead the Master
Servant convinces His followers of
the nature of His person & mission.
Lord, we will Place Faith In You:
When Jesus got to the boat, the man
who had been demon possessed
begged to go too. But Jesus said:
No, Go home to your friends and
Tell Them what wonderful things the
Lord has done for you (Mark 5:18-19)
Now a woman had a flow of blood
for 12 yrs. When she heard about
Jesus,she came from behind Him in
the crowd and touched His garment.
For she said: If Only I may touch
His clothes, I Shall be made well.
Immediately her blood was dried up.
…And Jesus said to her: Your Faith
has made you well (Mark 5:21-34).
While He was still speaking, some
came from the ruler of synagogue
said: Your daughter is dead. As
soon as Jesus heard the message,
He said to the ruler of synagogue:
Do Not Be Afraid, Only Believe.
Then He came to the house, took
the child and said: Little girl, I say
to you, arise. Immediately the girl
arose and walked (Mark 5:35-43)
Lord, I have benchmarks in my life
where I can see that U rescued me.
Sometimes I avoid those places
for they hold painful memories.
Let me see my past hurts as
opportunities to share so that
my story gives hope to someone.
For neither difficult situations nor
bad memories can silence how You
showed mercy & rescued me. Amen.
Lord, like the woman with issue
of blood, I have desperate needs
that only You can meet them.
Some people might be appalled at
my boldness but I am shamelessly
asking You to give me what I need.
For I know Your generous heart;
and I’m trusting in You, still waiting
on You and risking everything on it.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
Lord, the same power that raised
Jairus’ daughter from the dead
and raised Jesus from the dead
is available to us through the Spirit.
Just as U turned dry bones into alive
in times of Ezekiel 37, You can also
turn dead things to life these days.
So, Open the eyes of my heart to
believe the working of Your power.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
