Luke recorded by THE SPIRIT in Luke chapter 8:

40 So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.

41 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying.

The name Jairus means “whom God enlightens”, how appropriate!  Jairus recognized the power resident in Jesus and was desperate for his daughter’s life.  He was not hesitant to seek Jesus’ healing power for he knew that if Jesus was unable to heal the girl, she would soon be dead.  However, the crowd hindered Jesus from proceeding to Jairus’ house:

… But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.

43 Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any,

44 came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

45 And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”

When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”

46 But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.”

47 Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

48 And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

Can you imagine how Jairus felt when Jesus stopped to address the woman?  In his mind, time was of the essence and his daughter would soon die if Jesus didn’t heal her right away.

The woman with the issue of blood was desperate as well.  She had lived with this chronic disease for twelve years and there was no relief in sight until Jesus arrived on the scene.  She had heard of His power to heal and believed the reports.  Her faith came by hearing the Word of His healing power and wanted access to this power so that she would be restored to health.  The physicians of her day had no cure but took her money anyway.  Sound familiar?

In the meantime, Jairus was becoming fearful that Jesus would be too late.  How do you think he felt about the woman with the issue of blood taking precious time from Jesus?

49 While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher.”

50 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.”

51 When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.

52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping.”

53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.

54 But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, arise.”

55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat.

56 And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.

In the context of this passage, Jesus both healed and raised the dead.  The child and woman were connected by time- twelve years.  The woman had been sick and suffered as long as the little girl had been alive.  Which one needed the healing and restorative power of Jesus more?  There was no need for Jesus to choose, He would minister to both.

Agape Love has no inherent limitation thus we need not be concerned about the limitation of time or distance.  FATHER operates outside of time and is not restricted in any way.  In one instance, the woman’s faith in Jesus Christ healed her whereas Jesus commanded life to come forth to the little girl.  She exercised no faith herself.  Note that when her life was restored, she was no longer sick.  Jesus’ power fully restored her to life.

We must remove fear and unbelief from our midst.  Instead, FATHER wants us to walk in faith and trust IN HIM.  We need to expect what the world calls “unexpected”, also known as miracles.

The difference in our path known as “The Way” is the miracle-working power we are called to walk in.  Our faith must work by Agape Love and as we pursue the full revelation of Agape Love, miracles will become commonplace as they were with Jesus, Our Elder Brother.  Let us not settle for anything less.  These writings are meant to assist in moving us into the full maturity and understanding of this Truth.  Only believe!

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 19:

21 Many plans are in a man’s mind,

But it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand (be carried out).

Over the course of my life, I have had many plans, ideas, and imaginations about what to pursue with the time and resources available to me.  I have set up businesses based on what I thought were good ideas and found out the difference between my plan and FATHER’S plan.  HIS plan always works whereas my plan only has at best, the world’s odds of working.

I know the difference between activities backed by HIS favor and all other opportunities arising out of my mind.  Clearly my desire is to only pursue those plans supported by THE SPIRIT which ultimately are intended to bring forth life and blessing.  All else is simply a waste of time and resources and tends to bring forth stress in one’s life.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Hebrews chapter 4:

12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

Some people become infatuated with new ideas or possible inventions.  The word infatuation a feeling of foolish or obsessively strong love for, admiration for, or interest in someone or something and is normally short-lived.  We must allow The Holy Spirit to lead us when our creative juices are flowing so that we don’t allow ourselves to be driven off course.

The adversary is an expert in the area of misdirection.  He will entice us with plans and ideas which will take our focus off of our calling and enslave us to a path of over commitment and underachievement.  His methods are extremely subtle but are no match for one who is led by The Holy Spirit.

FATHER has a Divine Plan.  You and I were created through Divine means and HE has a Divine purpose for each of us and that purpose is included within HIS Grand Plan.  Consider those men and women found in Hebrews chapter 11.  Each one fulfilled a portion of FATHER’S overall plan, even in their later years.

Our individual plans are intended to line up with our Divine purpose.  Let us not be tempted to deviate from our purpose because of being intrigued with opportunities which arise.  We must discern whether those opportunities are meant to further our purpose or if they are simply misdirections by the adversary.

We do not need to force our purpose to come to pass.  FATHER will open the doors at the right time, at the right place, and in the correct manner.  Your Divine purpose will draw you toward its fulfillment unless you resist it.  Your resistance causes delay and lack of peace.  This is why we should prepare ourselves on a daily basis to hear FATHER and be led by THE SPIRIT.  If we do this on a consistent basis, peace will prevail in our hearts and FATHER will exalt us in due time.

Man’s ego promotes the idea of independence and separation from FATHER as though FATHER is found somewhere in the distant heavens and has the ability to show up when called.  Nothing could be further from the Truth.

Jeremiah wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 17:

​9 ​​“The heart is deceitful above all things,

​​And desperately wicked;

​​Who can know it?

10 ​​I, the LORD, search the heart,

​​I test the mind,

​​Even to give every man according to his ways,

​​According to the fruit of his doings.”

FATHER makes an emphatic statement concerning the heart of man- it is deceitful and desperately wicked.  How would a distant GOD know this?  FATHER is not distant from HIS creation for HIS SPIRIT is everywhere.  Jesus spoke to Nicodemus in John chapter 3:

5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’

8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Jesus likened The Holy Spirit to the wind which is found everywhere on earth but cannot be seen.  Do you really think FATHER is not aware of your every thought and action?  How can a righteous Judge rule without all the facts?  By definition, FATHER knows our hearts and our intents.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 3:

8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

9 Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”

10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”

The “cool of the day” is actually the Hebrew word ruwach.  This word means:

wind, breath, mind, spirit.  Adam and Eve hid themselves from the “sound” of THE SPIRIT of FATHER as though they could be physically separated from The Holy Spirit.  As a result of their sin, they believed they could be separated and isolated from THE SPIRIT.  This belief as prevailed among men ever since.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

FATHER is ever present to hear our righteous prayers and will respond accordingly.  The Holy Spirit is also ever present in our individual “temples” thus we are never alone or forsaken.  There is not one person on this earth who is fully separated from FATHER for HE searches the hearts of all men.

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 2:

13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

16 For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

The whole issue boils down to this.  Man’s ego has tried to separate man from FATHER and The Holy Spirit but has been fully deceived in his darkness.  Man is simply unable to recognize the Truth that The Holy Spirit is everywhere and can be found when this blindness is lifted.  We need a Spiritual awakening to occur today and FATHER is preparing us to rule and reign so that we can minister the exact Truth of FATHER’S Divine plan of Love.  Jesus showed us The Way so that we could be fully prepared for this eventuality.  Let us not cease in our determination toward full maturity IN HIM.

Upon awakening this morning, I sensed a high level of spiritual activity brought about by the adversary. It was most important to deal with it thus I did not write a blog as usual… Just to let you know. Some of you may have had a similar experience today or it may have been confined to the personal level only.
