Devotional:
I’m sure you have heard this saying before, “When you pray, make sure you approach the throne of grace boldly and with authority.” (Hebrews 4:16) Have you ever wondered where exactly that “authority and boldness” comes from? When you look at the woman that suffered with the issue of blood for twelve years, you encounter this “boldness and authority.” (Mark 5:25-34) She walked up to Jesus touching the hem of His garment just knowing that she would receive healing. Was this pride? No! It was the faith she developed in Jesus simply by hearing about him! (Romans 10:17)
At times, life can literally take the life out of things. In other words, “life be ”lifing””, okay? But you aren’t like others that are of this world. You are distinct breed, a child of God. One of in which has a power that’s greater than He that is within the world. Instead of accepting situations at face value, why not use your faith to experience a different outcome?
Had this woman allowed the many doctors and what others spoke about her to blind her faith, she never would’ve received her healing. In the face of so many no’s she was able to still believe in a yes. That yes being the promises of God and the power of Christ. So what does that mean for you? In the face of so many no’s you should still believe in the one that holds your yes...
