Prayer Email archive: (03/22/2000) Faith drawing miracles |
hello prayer warriors,
1. prayer note: faith drawing miracles [Matthew 9:20-22] 20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: 21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. 22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. Here, we have a woman who have a need. Many of us have needs. But needs does not draw miracles from God, it is our faith that draws God's miracles. Many people may be pressing at Jesus, but only this woman was made whole. Why? Because she believed. We need to believe first. Believe not only in God's power, which many of us do, but also in God's character. That God is compassionate, that He loves us beyond measure, beyond what our mind can comprehend and He loves us. That not only is He able to heal us, but that He WILL. That is faith. All these elements combined, believing and expecting. The woman with the issue of blood did not approach Jesus and say, If I may but touch His garment, MAYBE I shall be whole. That is what we maybe saying now most of the time. We believe in God's sovereign power, but we don't believe in His love and His compassion toward us. We don't believe in His character. We think that God wants us to continue suffering a painful disease, or continue suffering in our poverty, or continue suffering in our need. We need to start believing not only that He is able, but He is willing and He will meet our needs. This is the faith that draws the miracle from God. 2. New prayer requests i.
