Today’s Scripture “If I can just touch His clothes (the hem of His garment)” (Mark 5:28)
High Wild Faith
Dear One, High wild thinking, decisions — crazy wild faith. Just touching Jesus’ hem, His clothes! She has to push through the crowd, touching people. If one person sees her — hello rebuke — bye-bye healing. What choices are left? All doctors, friends, religious people failed her, money all gone, no respect — no friends — no solutions. All she has is God’s High Wild Faith that Jesus will help her — the highest hope that Jesus is her only answer. Yes — He is The Answer! Is this all you have today — High Wild Faith. You think you have nothing to give Him, but your hurt. I remember a time like this for me! Many years ago after a treacherous divorce in ministry, sickness, emotional, mental, financial collapse — I screamed at God — “I have nothing to give You anymore.” Lovingly God said — “Oh yes you do ROSE. Give Me all your hurts — your fears — pains, grief’s, doubts, worries, angers, bitterness, un-forgiveness — give Me all of you. I have so many riches I want to give to you, so much I have for you — but you need room for Me — you need room for all I have for you .” Maybe you need room, clutter gone — so much has cluttered your life! LORD God, yes — you took one step towards Him. But then you saw all the people surrounding Him — acting so pure, clean, so neat, so fit, so perfect, so successful in their faith. And as you looked at them — they shadowed your view of Him. You shriveled back. Does this describe you? Now notice — on that precious day of this wild faithful, determined woman — only one person was acknowledged for having faith. It wasn’t a rich giver. It wasn’t a wise loyal friend. It wasn’t a world teacher. That day — the High Wild Faith of a broken, shameful, penniless, sick outcast — grasped God’s High Wild Faith pressing toward Jesus — wildly believing that He would heal her! A good Wild Faith definition — agreement with God in action, a rock solid determination that Jesus can — a wild high belief that Jesus pleases to heal. Sounds like the Bible? “Without faith no one can please God. Anyone who comes to God must believe that He is real and that He rewards those who truly want to find Him” (Hebrews 11:6). Are you wildly believing, pressing into God alive in you, believing real God rewards you? Simple isn’t it? Wild Faith, belief (agreement) that God is real — God is good! Wild Faith is never just a mystic thundering voice from the clouds! Wild Faith is you wildly believing (acting) that The One who made all this didn’t leave — and He keeps on sending His Light (Jesus), alive in you, through you into the dark shadow places as a reward to those who truly find Him real. There was no absolute assurance for this shameful, sick, poor wild woman. She believed He could, would heal her! She longed for healing — longed that Jesus was there, that He healed — He was good. Beloved, that is powerful Great Wild Faith. Wild Faith is not the belief that God does what you say or want — High Wild Faith is belief that God does what He says is right. Blessings Flowing
