Matthew 14-Part 14

LET IT GLOW

The disciples believed Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, especially after He calmed the wind a second time. You will recall back in Matthew 8:27 whenever Jesus calmed the wind and the waves. They were in the boat on the same Sea and the storm was filling the boat with water while Jesus slept. Shouldn't they have believed in Him back then and when it happened a second time? Where was their faith? Was Peter the only disciple at that time with enough faith in Jesus that he could walk on a troubled sea? What about us? How many times have we trusted Jesus to see us through a storm and then the next time we falter in our faith? Oh my, guilty here. 

After Jesus had healed the woman with the issue of blood for 12 years, whenever she touched the hem of His garment, fame of Jesus' ability spread abroad into all the land. (Matthew 9:26) She learned that healing came from faith in Jesus, not from His clothing. Word spread like the internet and television broadcasts news quickly after it happens.

And besought Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole. (verse 36)

In the Greek language, perfectly means to save thoroughly; to cure, preserve, rescue; heal; save.

Only Jesus can save us inside and out. The healing and salvation comes from faith, believing who Jesus is-Savior. do you want to be made perfectly whole?

Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if a man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come unto him, and will sup with him, and he with Me. (Rev. 3:20)

Friend, have you heard Jesus calling your name to come to Him like Peter heard Jesus and walked on the water. It may not be an audible voice, but a voice speaking to your soul.

Is your need for a physical or spiritual healing?

LET IT GROW

The Scripture doesn't say how many believed in Jesus that day, touching the hem of His garment and were made perfectly, thoroughly whole. It was as many as believed Jesus had the power to save them.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)

From the end of the earth will I cry unto Thee, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. (Ps. 61:2)

Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon His name while He is near. (Isaiah 55:6)

And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13)

Except a man be born again, He cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3)

Dear one, have you been born again, spiritually? If so, heaven is waiting for you whenever you die. What about our family, neighbors, or church people?

LET IT GO

Through it all, I have learned to trust in Jesus. Have you trusted in Jesus in your situation?

God is in my story. How about you?

Father, You have been so, so good to me!

Oh the overwhelming love of God!
