There are lots of hurting people in the world. Many are diseased in their bodies and as a result, carry around something that immediately identifies them with their infirmity. The woman with the issue of blood is a typical example of this. She defied the embarassing stench that emanated from her because of her plague, and pressed through the crowd to touch the hem of the Master’s garment.
Bartimaeus is another good example. When Jesus called for him to be brought, the Bible says, “Bartimaeus yanked off his old coat and flung it aside, jumped up and came to Jesus” (Mark 10:50 TLB). He took off the only thing that identified him with blindness. This man acted by faith. He knew he wouldn’t need the coat anymore because he’d be healed, and when the Master said, “Your faith has made you whole,” both his eyes opened up instantly! Note that this happened after he demonstrated his faith and not before.
Can you hear that voice today? If you couldn’t stand before, stand now! If you couldn’t walk before, walk now! No matter what the sickness is, do what you couldn’t do before. That’s the way to release the power of the anointing upon your situation for a change. Don’t wait till tomorrow, demonstrate your faith today. This doesn’t apply to your body only but also to whatever situation in your life that is contrary to God’s Word.
