In Mark 5:36 Jesus said…
“Do not fear, only believe.” (ESV) “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” (NIV) “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.” (NLT) “Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear; only keep on believing.” (AMP) “Don’t listen to them; just trust me.” (The Message)No matter how you slice it that is the word of God to us.
He wants us to stop being so afraid of what we think can happen and just believe and do what He is telling us to do.
In the case above Jesus was talking to a man who wanted to Jesus to heal his daughter but was met with discouragement in the form of a well meaning friend who told him that it was to late, to not bother Jesus any further.
How many of us are on the brink of a miracle when a well meaning friend or family member comes alongside us, puts a arm around out shoulder and says, “Its to late for you, it’s best to give up that dream.” Or “What you are believing for is never going to happen. It is better you quit now before people start to call you crazy, you lose your job, you lose your home, you lose your friends…” etc.
How many of us will find out when we get to heaven that if we just simply believed Jesus and held fast to His promises just a little bit longer that we would have seen amazing things happen?
God wants to do great things through you so that others may see His work in your life and come to know Him. Yet God is stopped when we let our fear override our faith!!
If God is telling you to believe for something big, if it lines up with scripture, and you have asked God to redirect your steps if it is not Him, and He is still asking you to simply believe His word and press in, then Press in!!
Don’t quit, don’t give up!
Every time fear creeps in go to God in prayer and worship and Keep Going!!
I am cheering you on!!
I am praying for you!!!
With Christ all things are possible if you simply believe!!!!!!
I Am Trusting God
