How Desperate Are You?
Every time I think about desperation, I’m often taken to the woman with the issue of blood! She had tried every doctor, every remedy, gone to every length to grab hold of her healing, BUT it wasn’t until she TOUCHED the HEM of Jesus Garment that she was able to feel relief! Just imagine her level of desperation, so much so that, Jesus felt something move through Him with just her touch! Electrifying, pulsating, triggering, are words that come to mind when I think about Jesus’ response to her reaching out!
Is your touch, pulling at the heart of God, to exemplify the depths of your desperation? Can your desperation for God leave others puzzled about the nature of your healing? Does your desperation move others to stop in their tracks and pause in the moment?
I absolutely loved how Youth Pastor D came with the word and how he delivered it! His expression of a fast he was on, was comical, but it was truth! He knew that it was so much bigger than him, so it wasn’t as easy to give in as much as he had wanted too! The nature of fasting alone, is meant to draw us closer to the feet of Jesus and make us see ourselves In the midst of what we are dealing with! He wanted what God wanted for him, so He had to resist the temptation!! He had to crucify his flesh and come to the end of himself! It’s the same way with each of us!
Our desperation for more of Jesus, must take us to the end of ourselves, to the point that all we want is God! As the skits came forth by the youth, nothing about us will change until we dive and dig deeper into the Word and building a stronger relationship with God! Our desperation should lead us to wanting more of God, instead of spending hours scrolling social media!
Our desperation should drive us right into wanting to know what God feels and thinks about us, and that’s only a result of us developing a deeper relationship with Him! When we get in the groove of life and making decisions, it should be no thought of what direction we will go and how things will get done, when we have kept God at the center! God gives us a way of escape each time when faced with temptation. The reality is, have we been desiring more of God than we have been desiring to feed our flesh and give to our natural man!
Jesus was so desperate for His time with God and hearing the voice of God, that He made sure to retreat often to get a refill! In the Garden, Jesus really began to feel the pain of our MESS, to the point, He wondered Lord is there another way? His sweat became drops of blood of the agonizing pain that WE took Him through! Jesus! My God!50 20 20 20 20 Recent
