DO NOT SHUT-UP< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Luke 18: 35-43

In any given situation where there is a need, do not shut-up from asking the Almighty God. Also, you should never allow the multitude or crowd to shut you out of your miracle. Jesus, in all His passing by, produces a miracle while in all of the multitudes passing by, there will always be obstacle. Jesus, in one of His trips to < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Jericho, was to pass by the blind Bartimaeus. Luke 18: 36-37, ÒAnd hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. 37 So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.Ó Bartimaeus was determined to receive his healing in the passing by of Jesus, but the crowds were out to deny his miracle. The crowd was an agent of hindrance; they were to serve as obstacle for his miracle. Are you experiencing any obstacle in your expectation for healing or breakthrough miracle? The same Jesus that was then is still the same that is today. Also, the same function of the crowd yesterday is still the same function of the crowd today. When there is a need is not the time to shut ourselves up; it is the time to ask and not pay attention to the crowd that is surrounding us. Today, ask for the grace of God not to shut up or allow the challenges of situations to keep us silent. Will you be willing to act like Bartimaeus? Luke 18:38-39, ÒAnd he cried out, saying, ÒJesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!Ó 39 Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, ÒSon of David, have mercy on me!Ó  Bartimaeus crying out did not fall on empty ground. Jesus responded to Bartimaeus and his obstacle was converted into a miracle. Ask God for the grace not to shut- up when crowds intercept your request.
