LET'S SAY IT!
When I was young, there were things I needed to ask for permission for like, going into town, using the car, hanging out with my friends, etc. But do you want to hear something crazy?… God needs our permission for some things! The following thoughts and scriptures answer a lot of questions that people have in this life.
To set the story up, here is a man who is on the side of the road as a beggar because he is blind. When he hears that Jesus is coming he begins to cry out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.” Many people tried to rebuke him because it was illegal for him to do such a thing, but he would not stop. Jesus told them to stop and commanded for the man, who was blind, to come to him. When he arrived, the following transpired.
Mk 10:51-52 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
Why would Jesus ask him such a question? Jesus already knew what he needed, it was obvious! Many times people don’t understand that God always knows what we need before we ask! Matthew 6:8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. If God knows what you need before you ask, why do you have to ask? Prov 18:21 says, "Life and death are in the power of the tongue." God created the universe by speaking and he created us in his image and likeness. God wants us to use our mouth to create just like him.
At creation, God gave authority on earth to man. (Gen 1:26) We are the authority on the earth! We must declare God's purpose for it to be accomplished. God announced to the prophet Amos, "Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7)In other words, God has to go through the proper channels on earth to get his will to be accomplished. Since God gave authority to man, he must get his will done through man. His prophets must declare what he wants to have accomplished in order for it to be done.
Think about it... Maybe some things can happen for you if you will only speak them! It's time to rise up in our faith and take the dominion over what God has given us. We must declare the will of God! Come on… Let's do this!…
