In the post Give Others a Recharge, I wrote about two miracles of Jesus. He was doing out of the ordinary things to help people but gave credit to the Father. The miracles happened and they will happen in the future. We can just be a part of the crowd or we can reach out and “touch Him” by faith; being recharged with power and new life.
Let us praise Him just as this song: All Creatures of our God King – David Crowder.
Jesus did out of the ordinary acts of healing as explained in Luke 8:40-56. He healed a sick woman who touched Him and He brought the daughter of a synagogue ruler back to life.
The healing power of Jesus is not magic but dependent on our faith in the power coming out from Him. In this passage, we have been given two instances to demonstrate but there are many more; even today, miracles happen and will continue to happen as we continue into the future.
The Lord’s knowledge of situations help us daily as we pray and listen to His guidance. Our faith becomes strengthened and His specific commands to us become clear so we can go in peace like the woman who was healed because of her faith. We can get up from our sleep and live each day to the fullest because of our faith.
Yes, there is power in Jesus. He recharges us like a car battery is recharged by jumper cables or a cell phone is recharged through an electrical outlet. He is the source and our faith connects us to the power.
This day with God, we can also help others to be connected if we follow the attitude and actions of Jesus; showing an interest in people, praying for their health and happiness, and empowering them to be all that they are meant to be.
Father God, help us today to be the link that gives a charge to someone today and in turn helps them to pass it on to others. We are all linked together into Your power and our neighbors next door can also be linked into this power. The co-worker who we spend so much time with can also be linked. We are thankful that because of the Internet, we can link people around the world to Your power. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
We all need a ray of hope and all who believe in Jesus receive this hope. The post Authority Over All Phenomena was about the authority of Jesus to calm a storm and to cure a man with evil spirits. We all face fear but in any crisis situation, we can receive a plan through prayer and execute it in faith.
If you are down right now or just need some energy for a challenging day ahead, here’s a video to affirm the blessing you have in the Trinity: Overcomer – Mandisa.
Jesus demonstrates authority over the realms of both natural and aberrant phenomena. Reading in Luke 8:22-39, there is one example of Jesus’ authority over a storm and another example of Jesus’ authority over the spiritual world.
In the first incident, Jesus and His disciples were going to the other side of the lake when a storm all of a sudden came upon them. Unexpected storms are common on Galilee but this one was more intense and dangerous. Jesus had fallen asleep so the disciples went over to wake Him up. Jesus got up and immediately rebuked the wind and raging waters causing the storm to subside so all was calm (v. 24).
In the second incident, Jesus and His disciples arrived on the other side of the lake where they met a demon-possessed man. The man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs (v.27). Many demons had entered into him and they begged Jesus to let them go into some nearby pigs. Jesus gave them permission and the pigs rushed down the steep bank, into the lake, and were drowned (v. 33).
After being cured by Jesus from the demons, the man was seen sitting at Jesus’ feet, cleanly dressed, and in his right mind. Word got out to the people in the region and instead of embracing Jesus, they were overcome with fear and told Jesus to leave their community.
We all face days in life when we need restoration and we should be thankful because we can pray and like rebooting a computer, we can clear out the bad and be restored with a new perspective. Our faith in Jesus eliminates fear of circumstances like in today’s reading about Jesus calming the storm. Our faith in Jesus eliminates our fear from what others can do to us or what Satan can do. The lesson learned in today’s passage is that when crisis situations come up, we should desire to receive a plan through prayer and execute it with faith.
This day with God, I pray that we take in His word and put it into practice so it is implanted into our hearts. That we trust instead of worry. That we go out and fill our day with obedience, gratitude, and humility. That we are energized by knowing Christ has authority over all realms; He is before us and within us.
In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going. – John 14:2-4
This picture was taken at Hampton Court; the palace of the British Royal Family up until the 18th century. Today, it is a major tourist attraction located near the river Thames upstream from London England. On the grounds is also a beautiful garden and a huge grape vine claimed to be largest in world.
