“Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man blind from birth…His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but THAT THE WORKS OF GOD SHOULD BE REVEALED IN HIM. I must work the works of Him who sent me…I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.” Jesus spat on the ground made clay; and anointed the eyes of the blind man…And said, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam.“ So he went and washed, and came back seeing…those who previously had seen him said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?” He said, “I AM HE.” they said to him, “HOW WERE YOUR EYES OPENED?” He answered, “A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said, ‘GO TO THE POOL OF SILOAM AND WASH.‘ So I WENT AND WASHED, AND I RECEIVED SIGHT.” (John 9:1-11) Obedience to Jesus brings MIRACULOUS RESULTS!!! We must not be blind to the importance of obedience…Miracles will return once again WHEN WE WILL BELIEVE. Millions of people around the world go to church to hear God’s Word and read the Bible; these acts can be considered statements of faith in what we hear and read. But WHAT ABOUT OUR FAITH FOR OURSELVES? Do we really have faith that God’s Word can be accomplished in our lives? “Dear God, I believe you exist and that your Word is true, but help me to believe that it is POSSIBLE FOR ME to live according to your Word!” “Jesus said to the man with a demon possessed child, “If you can believe, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM WHO BELIEVES.” Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “LORD, I BELIEVE;
HELP MY UNBELIEF!“ (Mark 9:23-24)
A VERY IMPORTANT PRAYER FOR US TO PRAY…
