Press Through

Scripture

“Keep on asking and it will be given to you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you.”
(Matthew 7:7, AMP)

Word

In Mark, chapter five, there was a woman who had been sick for twelve years. The doctors gave her no hope. When she heard that Jesus was coming through her town, something deep on the inside said to her, “This is your season. This is your time to get well.” In the natural, when she saw all the people around Him, she thought, “I’ll never get to Him. It’s so crowded and I’m weak. I just don’t think I can do this.” She almost missed her season. But instead of dwelling on those negative thoughts, she started reminding herself, “If I can just get to Jesus, I will be whole.” She made the choice to turn her thoughts in the right direction. She kept pressing her way through the crowd until she got just close enough to Jesus to reach out and touch the edge of His robe. Instantly, she was made whole. Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well.”

Notice it’s our faith that activates God’s power. If you’ve been standing and belieivng for a while, don’t give up! Press through! Keep praying! Keep asking! Keep seeking, and He’ll meet your faith with His miraculous power!
