Song: Only Believe
Only believe, only believe
All things are possible. Only believe.
Lord, I believe, Lord I believe,
All things are possible. Lord, I believe.
Jesus encourages Jairus to believe.
Read: Mark 5:21-43; Key verse: Mark 5:36
KJV: .. he said unto the ruler of synagogue,
"Be not afraid, only believe."
NCV: .. He told the synagogue leader, "Don't
be afraid; just believe."
AMP: .. Jesus said to the ruler of the
synagogue, Do not be seized with alarm and
have no fear, only keep on believing.
Jairus, one of the synagogue rulers came to Jesus. He
begged Jesus to come to his home and to lay His hand on
his dying daughter. Jesus went with him. Because of the
crowd following Jesus, the woman could only touch the hem
of Jesus' clothing, and Jesus felt the power went out of
Him. And the woman was healed. While he was talking to her,
Jesus had overheard Jairus' friends with a bad news, that
his daughter had died. His friends said to Jairus, that
there was no need to have Jesus come to his house to do
anything for his dead daughter. Jairus become depressed
and afraid, and the bad news hit him so hard. Do you
know what Jesus did? The Scripture said in NCV, "But
Jesus paid no attention to what they said. And in AMP,
... ignoring what they said..." He encouraged Jairus
to continue to believe, not to be alarmed with bad news,
have no fear and not to be afraid. Jairus took Jesus'
words and believe. Later on, his daughter was healed.
This Scripture is prophetic message from Jesus: "Do not
be afraid. Just believe. Only believe. Only keep on
believing. All things are possible to them that believe.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart. Trust the Holy
Spirit to do the work of miracle in your lives. Believe
in Me. Believe in God. You will sense My presence when
you believe. Let the healing of love flows inside of
you for God is love. Perfect love cast out fear."
Prayer: Oh Jesus, thank You for the words of encouragement
that we need today. Thank You for encouraging my friends
who may need to hear this from You. In Jesus' name. Amen!
