Mark 7:25-30 New International Version (NIV)
25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an evil spirit came and fell at his feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27 "First let the children eat all they want," he told her, "for it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."
28 "Yes, Lord," she replied, "but even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
29 Then he told her, "For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter."
30 She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
Ok, in the last three days we have looked at the woman with the issue of blood, the Centurion, and now a Greek woman. Have you noticed the faith of these three people? Have you noticed how each one had a confident expectation that they would get their miracle? The woman with the issue of blood said, "If I can touch his cloak I will be healed". The centurion said, "say the word Lord and my servant will be healed". The Greek woman said, "even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs". All three of them had a confident expectation that they would get their miracle. Develop an unshakeable confidence in God. Do as Mary told the servants when Jesus turned the water into wine.
John 2:5 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."
You miracle is in doing what God has told you to do. Look, we all go through the same thing. One of the fastest ways to cut off your miracle is to do what you want to do instead of what God has asked you to do. Now God has many different ways of asking you to do things. If it is in the Bible "do this" or "don't do that" then God has spoken. Do as God has instructed you to do in the word.
God will speak to you through your Pastor. God will reveal things to you as your Pastor is preaching from the Word. Listen to God in those moments and do what God is asking you to do. Your Pastor may ask for help around the Church. Well, you just heard from God, get down there and help.
Some things are not in the bible. Like "Should I go to this school or that one?" or "Should I take this job or that job?". With those kinds of decisions, you have to learn to follow the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit inside of you. You have to listen to that still small voice on the inside.
Speak the Word: Father, I follow you as you are leading and guiding me. I will not fall in the ditch on the right or the left. I will stay on the path you have set before me.
