FAITH CAPSULE: Have you been exposed to any delay attempting to keep you quiet at where to cry out?  

Mark 10:46-52

The multitude is the agent of discouragement, denial, and delay.
The challenges that are keeping one down want to keep one quiet. 
One that remains quiet where there is a need to cry out for help, stagnation will become the identity of such. 
Blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was an example of not being quiet where there is a need to call out loud. 
Blind Bartimaeus was at the right location to receive his sight when the multitude attempted to keep him quiet. 
Bartimaeus was at the juncture where Jesus went by, but a great multitude was also in place. 
The multitude is the agent of discouragement, denial, and delay. Bartimaeus refused to be quiet, “When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.” (Mark 10:47)
The crying out of Blind Bartimaeus was an example of what persistence can do against every agent of the wicked, which destroys and deny breakthrough. 
The more he cried out, the more the forces were to keep quiet, not to experience healing visitation.
In life, there are times of need that calls for being quiet in waiting for God to move. 
Also, sometimes call for crying out loud to God. 
When a believer remains quiet at the time of a need to cry out, the multitude will take such a believer for a ride and deny a breakthrough. Bartimaeus must have been very loud. 
The noise of Bartimaeus made Jesus stand still and commanded him to be called up by Jesus (Mark 11:39). 
The multitude that was out to keep Bartimaeus quiet was the same multitude that eventually called him out for Jesus. 
The multitude did not just call on him; they recognized what was about to take place by calling him and saying, “…be of good cheer. Rise He is calling you.” (Mark: 10:49)
Have you been exposed to any agent of delay attempting to keep you quiet at where to cry out? 
What one can do is ignore the multitude and keep on crying out to Jesus. Crying out to Jesus will gain the attention of His visitation. 
Just like Bartimaeus, calling unto Jesus will cause the caller to rise above every blind challenge and every force that is in place to keep one grounded. 
Bartimaeus could not be quiet from gaining his healing deliverance by the multitude but cried to gain a new garment to replace the garment of blindness. Bartimaeus rose and went to Jesus.
It is never too late to cry out and have the garment of shame, the mark of stagnation, give up in life. 
When Jesus hears your cry, you will rise and move out of shame and stagnation.

Prayer for today: Ask not to be shut out of healing visitation.
