Keep on Believing (5/27-29)

On Memorial Day I send out #17 prayer list to the prayer chain partners, and put in the blogger on Deaf Prayer Partners Lifeline. When I was done, suddenly, I ‘heard’ Holy Spirit singing this song and it was very inspiring to me. So I thought I would share with you to “Keep on believing, God will answer prayer.”

Song: Keep On Believing

Keep on believing, God will answer prayer;

Keep on believing, never to despair;

Tho’ you be heavy laden and

burdened down with care,

Remember God still loves you

and He answers prayer.

(Inspiring Choruses)

This song reminds me of a story of a ruler of the synagogue, Jairus who came to Jesus and begged Him to come and lay His hands on his daughter that she may be healed; and she shall live. Jesus went with him, and there were a lot of people followed and crowded Him. Jesus was interrupted by a certain woman and Jesus took the time with her and she was healed. Then she went on her way.

So Jesus went on with Jairus and someone came to Jairus and told him to forget about having Jesus come to his daughter. She’s dead anyway. Why bother Jesus now? It was too late. He can’t do anything about it. Jarius’ heart stank and thought to himself, ‘it’s too late now to save her.’ Do you ever felt that way sometimes? Let’s hear Jesus’ word.

But as soon as Jesus heard the negative words spoken, He immediately spoke to Jairus to look at Him and listened only to His Word, “Be not afraid, only believe.” Here in these part, Jesus is speaking to you, to look at Him and listen only to His Word, “Be not afraid, only believe. Be not afraid, only believe.”  So Jairus believed Jesus!

Jesus went into Jarius’ house and found negative people telling Him that it is no used. They laughed at Him and made fun of Him. On this part, I have to say, “Wow, I didn’t realize there are people who would have the nerves to do that to Jesus.” But that didn’t stop Jesus so what did He do about those people? He told them to get out of Jarius’ house. That was bold, but very necessary to clear the negative atmosphere in the house Jairus.

He brought Peter, James, John and the parents who believed in Jesus to come into the girl’s room. He took her by the hand and spoke to her to rise up and she got up and lived. The people who were negative were shocked that she arose and ate the food. Know this that Jesus’ response was to encourage Jairus’ faith even in this seemingly hopeless situation. The same word that Jesus spoke to Jairus are the same words for you.

Song: Only Believe!

Only believe, only believe

All things are possible

Only believe;

Only believe, only believe

All things are possible

Only believe.
