Message Title: What Your Faith Can Do part3
Scripture: Luke 1:38; 8:43-48;
Luke 1:38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Luke 8:43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
We’ve been discussing the last few
weeks, what our Faith can do. When we look at the bible we read that ordinary
men and women did some impossible things. Moses was used by God to depart the
Red Sea in Exodus 14. God used David to slay Goliath in 1 Samuel 17. God even
used a young virgin girl to bring forth the Messiah.
These three individuals had two
things in common. One, is prior to doing any miracles, they were virtually
nobodies in their community. As a matter of fact, if Mosses was known for
anything at all, he was known for committing a murder. The second thing they
had in common was even though they were faced with an impossible situation,
they had faith in God to do, what he said, he was going to do. Mary response to
the Angel of the Lord was,
Luke 1:38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
She didn’t understand it all.
Nevertheless, she put her Faith in the words of God and then the impossible
happen.
God does not look for extraordinary
people to do the extraordinary. He looks for faith. Obedience is a sign of
faith. When you act on the word of God, even when that does not seem like the
most logical thing to do, it moves God to do the impossible.
Let’s look at the women in Luke 8:43-48 without even having a
conversation with Jesus, she was healed due to her faith in Jesus.
Don’t worry about trying to do the
impossible let your Faith in Christ Jesus do it for you.
