Exercising The Spiritual Muscle
Or
Remember Faith?
Who are we and what are we in comparison to the God of this universe? Well, according to John 1-12, the Holy word of God says, as many as received him, to them gave he the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believed on his name!
And if sons of God, then also heirs of God. Christians stand up and be healed in the name of Jesus. Healed in your body, healed in your mind, healed in your heart, be healed, and be made every wit whole.
Let us find our place in the body of our Lord Jesus Christ, let’s be about our Fathers business! Let us with all humility and compassion look to what the Lord would have us to do today, tomorrow, and forever. Lets not all run around wondering who is going to be put in charge of this, or who will be asked to do that, but lets just go out and do the Fathers will.

The Gospel according to |
|
|
St. Mark |
|
|
10 |
|
|
But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. |
|
|
But so shall it not be among you: Lk. 22.25, 26 but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: |
|
|
and whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. Mt. 23.11 · Mk. 9.35 · Lk. 22.26 |
|
|
For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
|

Jesus tells us in Mark 10:42-45 that the important thing in being a servant of Christ, is not to be looking or asking were our position is, but to ask:
“What would you have me to do Lord?”
When we learn to have a servant’s heart, always willing to be a helper, it is then that God can have us be a leader.
You see, if we are looking to be a leader instead of a helper then we will look to others as beneath us, BUT, if we are looking to be a helper in the body of Christ. Then God, seeing our humility, can use us as a leader, if he so chooses.
All we need to do is to believe by faith that Gods in charge and that all that he desires WILL be done. Then it is Gods joy to bless his people. So the question in anything is not WHY, but it is WHAT.
Remember early on in the starting of this that God had me to cover the subject of FAITH? (Perhaps you should check the archives and reread it so it is fresh in your mind.)
See if we believe by faith that Jesus is who he says he is. If we believe by faith that he is able to do all that he said he could. If we understand that according to the Bible that even the worlds were framed by faith, Hebrews 11:3, then through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
When we learn that no matter what things look like, that when we know that Gods in charge that anything is possible.
Perhaps the shortest verse in the Bible, but yet perhaps the most profound:
LUKE 1:37 - FOR WITH GOD NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE.
Look it up for yourself.
Did it say, “Some Things?”
Did it say, “A Few Things?”

¶ And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartime'us, the son of Time'us, sat by the highway side begging. |
|
|
And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. |
|
|
And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. |
|
|
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. |
|
|
And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. |
|
|
And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. |
|
|
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way. |
|
Hey swallow that and let it take root deep inside of you!
Jesus said, his faith made him whole !!!!

Lord Jesus we pray that you will make this come alive within us, that we too should believe by faith that we should be able to receive your will for our lives and then be able to revive what even the professionals of this world say can't be so. But we know Lord Jesus, that with God NOTHING shall be impossible.
AMEN AND PRAISE THE EVER LIVING AND LOVING GOD AND OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

Hey folks, as we are busy about our Fathers business, just doing whatever we can at the time. It is times like that when the Lord blesses our faith to grow.
You see faith is like a muscle, and the more you exercise it the stronger it gets!
Until Next Time,
Love And God Bless You All! --- Willy
