It got to the point in my life where I realised I was the person who needed the miracle. I needed them pretty much most of the time. When I began to spiritually grow up, there was something in my heart that stirred me. I no longer wanted to be Jairus all the time, going from miracle to miracle (although that is great,...

…saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.”

Have you ever heard somebody say, “I had all the faith in the world, but it still didn’t happen!”?

I have.

Said it once a twice myself in the past. I have made many mistakes about the subject of faith throughout my life - on both extremes. At one time, I thought that faith was a condition...

This morning I was reading a Shel Israel's blog - My 5 secrets meme. For me - it was point number 5 that sprung out to me:

5. I don't care for American football.

My guess is that Shel is actually in the US given the spelling on his site, and the thing that stood out to me was the term "American Football".

Here’s the thing – you have planned out your website. You have your hopes. Your ideas. But, if you’re new to the game – you cannot be sure at all about how it will go.

In fact, I am sure you...

and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.”

Matt 9:18  …“My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.”

And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet

Matt 9:18While He spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped Him…

Luke 8:14And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was the ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet…

To Behold“Behold” This is the one word that is used...

...the crowd received and welcomed Him gladly, for they were all waiting and looking for Him.(Luke 8:40 - The Amplified)
