Ask and Act!

“Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, master, have mercy on us!” So when He saw them, he said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priest.” Luke 17.11-14

Without a doubt the Lord Jesus could have healed those ten men right away at the same time because He has enough power to do that, but instead of healing them He told them to go and show themselves to the priest, though it’s not written but I don’t think that those sick and miserable men were expecting to see the priest while they were suffering with lepers, but they simply believed and did exactly as Jesus told them to do and on their way to see the priest they conquered their healing.

Meditating about what happened to those men we can easily understand why many people get disappointed with their faith, they carry in their mind a false idea that everything they have to do to be blessed is to say a prayer and that’s it, a miracle is going to happen, and the miracle never happens. They get disappointed and frustrated. For a miracle to happen it is more than necessary that actions of faith be taken to provoke a miracle. That’s why, the Lord Jesus didn’t think twice, He told the ten men with lepers to go and show themselves to the priest.

Whatever miracle you want it is more than possible to happen but, your faith has to be put into action, if you simply ask and wait for something to fall from heaven you’ll never change your life. Whenever you ask for anything from God make sure you are ready to act your faith in order to provoke the blessing you most want in your life.

Sunday, October 17th we will start a forty days journey of the power of asking, you will have the best opportunity to ask and to act your faith to bless your life.
