“While He yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. And He suffered no man to follow Him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. And He cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. And when He was come in, He saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed Him to scorn. But when He had put them all out, He taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with Him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. And He took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment. And He charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.” Mark 5:35-43
God didn’t use Jesus to pray for the dead girl, He used Jesus to command her to live, and she did! If we say that we are in Him, than we too should walk, even as He walked! “He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.” 1 John 2:6 God will use us exactly as He used Jesus and the world will believe and Jesus will be glorified through us! My point is this, as Christians we love to pray for the sick, pray for the hungry homeless man on the corner, and pray that the hurricane not hit. But through the Word we see that God works very differently. God used Jesus to command the sick to be whole. He used Jesus to bless the food so that it multiplied, and He used Jesus to tell the storms to cease! God never changes and Jesus said that if we believe on Him than we would be used by God in the same way! Faith comes from hearing the Truth and the Truth will set us free to be used by God with all of His fullness!
We are eternally blessed with the omnipotent power of His glory!
