FAITH CAPSULE: Obedience to the word of God is an avenue for deliverance.
Mark 10:46-52, John 2:1-12
Do the word of God not to be ashamed.
Doing what God says to you is behaving His word, the evidence of faith.
The book of John 1:14-16 records, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’” And of His fullness, we have all received, and grace for grace.” (John 1:14-16)
The word of God has the power to make and unmake.
The same word that was in the beginning is still the same word that is today.
To behave the word is to avert from shame.
With the word one will experience light in the place of darkness and get deliverance from sickness and disease.
Jesus gave the word of direction to deliver the wedding celebration from shame.
The wedding was out of wine when the celebrant sought help from the mother of Jesus.
After having approached Jesus, she warned the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” (John 2:5)
Just as she warned, the servants did the same when Jesus gave word to them.
In John 2:7-8, “Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it.”
By behaving His word, the wedding became restored to a glorious celebration.
Concerning your marriage or any other area of life, hear to do His word.
The blind man Bartimaeus needed to hear and behave for him to receive sight.
While Jesus was passing by, the blind man at the roadside recognized that Jesus was passing
by and reacted by crying out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” (Mark 10:47)
The cry of the blind man gains the attention of Jesus.
Jesus responded, “What do you want Me to do for you? The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” (Mark 10: 51-52) God will always wait to act for those who wait on Him.
He does not ignore the crying of His children.
Jesus touched the blind man by His word, “…Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.” (Mark 10:52)
All you do is give yourself to the word of God, move from stagnation into glorious motion, and behave according to what you have heard from God.
God is still speaking, and if man is going to behave His word, such gain the attention of God.
Prayer for today: Ask to know and to behave whatever He says.
