JESUS, PLEASE TAKE CONTROL

“…a woman…came up behind him [Jesus] and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I WILL BE HEALED.” (Matt. 9:20-21) [After some time of trying any other method available, this woman knew now, after hearing about and seeing Jesus for herself; if she could just touch His clothing…she was instantly healed!] “And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him AND BEGGED HIM TO LET THE SICK JUST TOUCH THE EDGE OF HIS CLOAK, and all who touched it were healed.” (Matt. 14:35-36) [So, the word is out; just touch the hem of Jesus’ garment and you will see miracles! We are IN URGENT NEED OF PRAYER NOW! Pray with me that we will be drawn to prayer and just TOUCH THE HEM OF THE CLOAK OF JESUS, to allow Jesus to take charge of our lives to be used of Him! So what should we do?] “You shall therefore KEEP MY STATUTES AND MY RULES; if a person does them, he shall live by them: I am the LORD.” (Lev. 18:5) [We must agree to obey the Lord!] “CONSECRATE YOURSELVES, THEREFORE, AND BE HOLY, for I am the LORD your God.” (Lev. 20:7) [We must agree to consecrate (sanctify, dedicate) ourselves to God!] “…I am the LORD thy God that DIVIDED THE SEA…” (Isa. 51:15) [There is nothing too hard for our God to do, we must PRAY AND TRUST because he wants what is best for us!] “Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND MIND and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and HE WILL DIRECT and make straight and plain your paths.” (AMP) (Prov. 3:5-6)

Be blessed as you praise The Lord, knowing that AS WE TRUST IN THE LORD AND SEEK HIS FACE, HE WILL ORDER OUR STEPS!
