Theme: Faith in God's Deliverance 

Text: Mark 5:39-42

39 When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping.” 40 And they ridiculed Him. But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying. 41 Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” 42 Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement.

Faith usually does the unthinkable or unreasonable in our lives. You take a step of faith which to the ordinary person, is not worth it. But if you believe just as Jesus told Jarius in verse thirty-six that, “Do not be afraid; only believe.” then you'll experience God's Mighty Hand of deliverance. 

When Jesus got to the house of Jarius, those there to mourn, ridiculed Him for saying the child is not dead. When there's no hope in your situation, just lift up prayer to the Lord and believe Him to do it perfectly. You have authority to speak to the troubles of your life. Speak to them in faith and trust God to see you through it successfully. Let your "Talitha cumi" proceed from your mouth to restore what ought to be restored.

Prayer: Dear God, let Your healing come upon the earth as we are experiencing Corona virus (Covid-19). Increase our faith in You and take away all forms of doubt and fear in us that You will not be able to heal us. Your mercy and peace we desire to abide with us in Jesus name. AMEN!
