Mark 10:46,52
And they came to Jericho; and as He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, son of Timaeus, sat by the highway begging...And JESUS said unto Him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed JESUS on the way.
THY FAITH HATH MADE THEE WHOLE
We have been on a journey this week toward turning a mess into a miracle. We journeyed from belief, through persistence, through expectation, through asking and now we have arrived at the threshold of the miracle. JESUS sees the faith and He sees our faith. It is not the faith of others or of our Church or ancestors, it is our NOW faith. The faith that comes from GOD and exercised by our journey. We have come to Him with no doubts, no plan B, just pure faith, hope and trust.
What I see in the last line of verse 52 is very important. When Bartimaeus received his sight, he "followed JESUS on the way". JESUS told him to "go thy way" and Bartimaeus said, by his actions, "You are the way." There is the sealing of the miracle. No more walking in the old way, but embracing the Way of the LORD. THIS IS FAITH ALIVE.
This takes gratitude, love and devotion. Gratitude for the healing miracle, love for the One who healed and devotion to Him with all your heart soul mind and might. It is in this atmosphere and dedication of the heart, that the Holy Spirit seals us. (Ephesians 1:13). This seal of the Holy Spirit of promise is the sign of the permanency of the miracle; ownership by GOD of your heart, soul, mind and security forever. HALLELUJAH!
TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL THINE HEART AND LEAN NOT UNTO THINE OWN UNDERSTANDING; IN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE WILL DIRECT THY PATH ( Proverbs 3:5,6
