Life Matters
Life Matters, with Pastor Chris Demetriou. Recorded live @ Cornerstone the Church, Esher, Surrey.
 

In the middle of a noisy crowd, Jesus heard a very distinct voice. It was the voice of faith. When He heard that voice, the Amplified Bible says He simply “stood still” (verse 40). The Lord quickly stopped! Jesus hasn’t changed; He’s still the same today (Hebrews 13:8). Anytime the Lord hears the voice of faith, He stops. When you speak words of faith, it’s like calling Him to attention. Jesus must stop, because He is under a divine obligation. The voice of faith places a demand on His power. And right now Jesus want’s to respond to your voice of faith. He want’s to stop and give you your miracle! The question is this, “Will you cry out unashamedly to your Saviour?” The blind man wasn't prepared to allow Jesus you walk on by. He insisted and persisted in his actions.


Do miracles just happen or do we have something to do with them happening? Can you and I make miracles happen? Theses are questions I'm sure we would all like to find answers to. In Judges 6:13, Gideon faced the same dilemma: “O my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about.” Most believers agree that God is still in the business of working miracles, and Galatians 3:5 confirms this, “Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” That being the case, the God who so graciously supplies us with supernatural power (by His Spirit) persists in performing supernatural deeds on behalf of His children. And He does this by hearing their faith!
