Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Matthew 9:2, “And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.”
In the Gospels we read many accounts of people being brought to Jesus.
There was a blind man.
They took the blind man to Jesus.
Jesus touched Him.
There was a woman with an issue of blood.
She knew that she just had to get to Jesus.
She touched Him and she was healed.
Then there was a lame man.
They took the lame man to Jesus.
In the Gospels every problem you see is something to take to Jesus.
Just take the problem to Jesus.
It is the same way now.
Are you disturbed over something in your life?
in your plans?
in a relationship?
Take the disturbance to Jesus.
And the way you take it to Him is by calling His name.
Just say “Jesus.”
Today we do not have the physical Jesus walking on the earth for us to touch.
But His name, which is His person, is as real as His physical presence.
When you call my name, I respond.
When you call “Jesus,” He responds.
He responds in you.
Do not take responsibility for your problems.
Give your problems to Jesus.
And when Satan comes to harass you in your mind, in your thought life, you can pray, “Jesus, he is here again!”
When the devil comes, instead of trying to overcome him in yourself, just say, “Jesus, they are here again, these visitors in my mind.”
By taking your problem to Jesus, what you are saying is what the Lord said–“Without Me, you can do nothing.”
So just keep bringing yourself to the Lord.
This is the way to go on in the Christian life.
Until Tomorrow,
With A Shepherd’s Love
