Only Believe

Today I woke up with what felt like a rubber head. Swollen throat, clogged ears- not a choice situation for me on a Sunday morning. But I popped a few vitamin C's and headed out. When I arrived at church for our pre-service practice a few people stopped and prayed for me and I agreed that God could heal me. But to be honest at that point I had more confidence in the vitamin C.

This is tragic I decided. When I started to enter into worship I started to recognize that this is it. This is the issue of my life. Either I believe He is who He says He is and what He can do or I don't. I am a believer or an unbeliever. In that moment I realized why we Christians get stuck in false religious ceremony...this is why we coast on other people's stories of miracles. We don't really expect to see the power of Jesus Christ practically lived out today. I want to expect amazing things that blow my mind and... I want to not be defeated by the common cold!

I have been led recently to pray for miracles and wonders and here I was accepting sickness. I will never gain the victory over what I will tolerate. Jesus offers us the exact power that He has! I won't tolerate this sickness anymore! I believe He is my healer, His will is for us to live in health. I believe it, I am healed.

But when Jesus heard this, He answered him, "Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be made well." Luke 8:50
