When I speak with God, I share with Him, my inner thoughts-feelings. I don’t need a specific place; It can be when I am walking, or in the bus. He is every part of me. I need His presence in each and every moment of my life. I crave for Him.
Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
- Prayer is an open conversation.
- I tell God of my weakness and how I need His help.
- Be persistent in prayer.
- Come and sit in the presence of the Lord. (Eucharistic Adoration-online)
No matter what the medical report says, I believe when you come in the presence of Jesus in the Celebration of the Mass or in the (Eucharistic Adoration or Eucharistic Adoration-online) Miracles are bound to happen.
When people came to Jesus, for a healing, Jesus cured them. But look at the words Jesus speaks–your faith has made you well.
Over and over, Jesus repeatedly says your faith has made you well.
What is it that Jesus is trying to tell us? Why it is that Jesus keeps repeating the words. What is it that we fail to understand?
Trust Jesus! It is your faith in Jesus that changes a situation and brings in ‘A miracle’. Jesus words-Your faith has made you well.
Jesus meek and humble of heart make my heart like unto thine.
Pressed in by a throng of onlookers a woman was waiting for her chance to be healed. She had heard reports about Jesus. For twelve years she had been hemorrhaging (a condition treated as unclean). Forced to live on the outskirts of society, she had spent all the money she had on physicians, only to have her health continue to decline.
She waited for Jesus. She forced her way through the crowd and went up behind Him and touched the fringe of His garment. Instantly she felt the cure-her flow of blood had ceased.
And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my garments?" Mark 5:30
She came in fear and fell down before Jesus and told Him the whole truth.
And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease." Mark 5:34
In an instance of faith, a simple act of reaching to touch the fringe of Jesus’ garment changed her life forever.
Please also read with reference to the above: Way to Believe...
When we trust God to do great things in our lives, the enemy will always try to stop us with thoughts like; it’s never going to happen…
In Isaiah 43:19, God says, Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
No matter what your situation looks like or how long it’s been, God says, HE can cause a river to flow in the desert.
It’s Time to raise your expectations! Choose to believe that God can make a way.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things in him who strengthens me.
If God has put a dream in your heart, BELIEVE!
Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think.
God will lead us with grace and strength.
- Choose to BELIEVE!
- Never Give Up. Dream a New Dream! (Simply meaning, look at it, from another perspective-angle)
- God has a Purpose and a Plan for each one of us, only when we say, ‘Thy will be done’.
- God will Make a Way!
- When we put our HOPE in God, we put ourselves in the perfect position for a miracle!
Hebrews 6:18 it is impossible that God should prove false,
God is capable of reversing our irreversible problems.
No matter at what height the mountain stands, it will crumble to the sound of Faith!
Mark 9:23 And Jesus said to him, “If you can! All things are possible to him who believes.”
The man states that he brought his son to the disciples, and they were not able to help.
The father of the boy says: “but if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us." Mark 9:22
And there was doubt in the man‘s mind about the power of Jesus.
And Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possible to him who believes." Mark 9:23
Jesus rebukes the man for his lack of faith; in other words, for having doubted at all whether He could heal the man’s son.
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!" Mark 9:24
Help my unbelief; this must be my-our prayer, in all circumstances of life.
In our doubts we need Gods gracious help.
In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus falls on the ground and prays, ‘if it were possible, the hour might pass from him’. Mark 14:35
Mark 14:36 And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me; yet not what I will, but what thou wilt.”
all things are possible to thee; Words Jesus spoke to His Father, in prayer. Jesus believed it was possible for Abba, Father to keep Him from this suffering. (Jesus could have persisted, BUT…) And in a complete surrender, Jesus adds, ‘yet not what I will, but what thou wilt.’
Jesus walked to His suffering on The Cross. John 3:16 says it perfectly: For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Trust in Jesus!
When we receive Holy Communion (The Body of Christ) we eat Jesus Body and Blood. Jesus is God (The Son of God), The Second person in the Holy Trinity. In the Eucharist we become united to Christ. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. John 6:56
Jesus feeds us with Himself to make us as He is.
No illness! No sickness! No disease! No virus can harm our body. But we must come in faith! Remember Jesus words your faith has made you well.
Like the woman who for twelve years had been suffering from hemorrhage. She forced her way through the crowd and went up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His garment. Instantly she felt the cure-her flow of blood had ceased.
This is how we must come with faith! She touched the fringe (and she knew she touched Jesus)- We eat the Body and Blood of Christ! (we remain in Christ-John 6:56)
And in Jesus own words:
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father. John 14:12
