Day 68 Healed At That Moment
Matthew 15:28 (New International Version)
"Then Jesus said to her, 'Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.' And her daughter was healed at that moment."
The woman's faith connected with Jesus. At this point, healing took place. When the promise of healing comes alive inside of us, a conception takes place. At this point of knowing, we can push the envelope with God.
If you read the whole account in your Bible (vs. 21-28), you will see that Jesus tested her to see what was in her heart. Her daughter's future was on the line and she pushed the envelope by saying, "Yes, Lord,(I know that I have not been a follower of Yours) but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table."
The woman resisted rejection and disappointment in order to get what her daughter needed. Sometimes we have to step over our own fear of rejection and fear of being disappointed in order to have all that God has provided for us.
Here is another scripture that you can hold on to:
Jeremiah 29:13 (The Message)
"When you come looking for me, you'll find me. Yes, when you get serious about finding Me and want it more than anything else, I'll make sure you won't be disappointed.' God's decree. 'I'll turn things around for you."
God caused this to be written in order for us to grab hold of it and embrace it. Remember, He is not keeping things from us but He is keeping things for us.
Your healing is waiting for you!
Today's Assignment:
1. Read the whole account in both Mark and Matthew and put a yellow highlighted box around them.
Mark 7: 24-30
Matthew 15:21-28
2. Ask God to make you tenacious for what He has already provided for you at the cross. Remind Him that He promised that you would not be disappointed.
Prayer:
(Write your own prayer using the scriptural promises above concerning a healing you might need. (Or write a prayer for the healing of someone you know.)
