Bible Note: CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST But then what if I don't get it? you say? This is not the kind of faith that recieves healing. The faith that recieves from God is the faith that will not be denied. Consider the parable of the widow and the unjust Judge, it is in this context that Jesus said when the Son of Man returns will he find faith on the earth. The answer to most scholars is that of a negative. No. Well some yes but not as it should be. Few will have this faith of this widow that keeps coming back and will not be denied what is hers. I see this as very pleasing to God. Let the theologians that know more than you tell you that God expects us to go by the word today and does not need to manifest miracles, as these signs were only for confirming the message of the apostles until the word of God was written (howbeit they had the scriptures always) Let the doubtful and fearful and unbelieving think what they will, but be different in these last days and declare that you will be a believer in God and His power on earth and not just in Heaven. Be different and say God you are no respector of persons and you change not, if faith moved you then then faith will move you today. I will cryout to God to recieve healing, wisdom, spiritual growth, and all things I need for life and godliness and I will not be denied, even as this widow would not be denied and you asked when Jesus comes again will He find such a one. I would have you say, here am I Lord, find me!! What do you think it is more pleasing to God to say I believe! or I doubt. It is always God's will to bless the beleiver, even when it was not the plan of God to send Jesus to any but the lost sheep of the House of Israel the woman that came to Him said Truth Lord but the dogs eat of the crumbs, as if she was saying You are so Great I only need a crumb and my daughter will be healed. And what was the answer of Christ to her? Was it "it is not the will of God" for in all truth it was not at this time the will of God. But Faith moved God to grant it anyway!!! Oh my dear brothers and sisters, let not your faith be quenched by the sad stories or soft words of well meaning but carnal thinking man. Rise up in faith and lay hold if it were on just the hem of His garment and you shall be healed. May God Bless you in your study of His Word. |
