His Hands, Not Yours

You become a Son or Daughter of God, filled with the Holy Spirit, but you think you're not prepared for what Mark 16:17&18 which says, "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;  they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mark 16:17‭-‬18. The preparation for you is just to believe that it is done. What do I mean by that?

There are times we see a sick person and get this feeling to lay hands on the person to receive healing, but we turn it down because again, we think we were not prepared or a thought comes up like "what if nothing happens." In a sense nothing would have happened because of that thought. But the real reason why nothing happens is because we depend on our strength a lot, on how well we have studied the bible, allowing all sort of thoughts to cloud our minds. And that is why nothing happens.

Then again, we seem bold and then go, and nothing happens. Why is this so? Aside the absence of the receiver's faith, the reason why nothing happens is because you thought at the beginning that YOU were going to heal the person, thus resting on YOUR faith and not HIS faith. Again, what do I mean?

Galatians 2:20 says we live by the faith OF the Son of God, meaning whatever you do won't be of you, but of Him! Meaning Jesus is still the one healing. And the healing is through you but not OF you.

So, the question you are to ask yourself is, "can Jesus do it?" or better still "has He done it?" (Making reference to the finished work of Christ on the cross and the power of His resurrection).

When you believe that Jesus has done it, it opens the door of faith in your heart. And when you lay your hands on that person, you never for once see your hands on that person, but the hands of Jesus. And at the name of Jesus every knee would bow, and every tongue would confess that Jesus is Lord. For His name is the name above every other name, (ref.: Philippians 2:9-11).

So, the more you submit to God, as it is not of you, but all of Him, you allow His power flow through you, and see HIM and NOT you at work. And always expect that it is already done because it is Jesus we're talking about here NOT you.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
