A Touch From Jesus
Sometimes our situations can look as good as dead. It seems as if we made just one too many mistakes, we’ve said the wrong thing just one too many times, or we won’t ever get it right. The passage that spoke to me at a very low point in my walk with God has nothing to do with forgiveness. It has nothing to do with mistakes. It has solely to do with the exorcism of an evil spirit.
The conversation that Jesus has with the possessed boy’s father is a faith discussion, but further along in this account of this miracle, it is all about how Jesus’ touch brought life to something that looked dead.
I come to speak into your life today. If your situation looks like a corpse, ask for a touch from Jesus. If people have begun to count you out and say, “It’s over for you,” reach up your hand to Jesus. Jesus does not listen to your critics. He does not listen to your emotions. He acts in response to your faith in the plan that God has set out for you.
Ask: Dear Lord, I need you to touch my situation. It looks dead and people are saying that it is dead, but I believe that you will bring life to what appears to be a corpse. Put me back on my feet and help me to stand! In Jesus Name, Amen.
