Today’s Scripture
“And He [Jesus] did not many mighty works there
because of their unbelief” (Matthew 13:58)
Enemy….Doubt – Unbelief! Dear One, Unbelief is a real enemy! Years back — at a powerful prison meeting in Oklahoma, a man stood in the healing line. I asked him —”What did you come for?” He looked at me saying — “ROSE, my legs are in severe pain; I can barely move.” I laid one hand on his legs and one hand on his chest. I felt fire jump from hand to hand — I knew his body was affected by a demon. I said — “I command you foul spirit, that oppresses this body, come off [I was saying off of his body].— be cast into the sea ” The man was already saved, filled with the Holy Spirit! He attended a Full Gospel Ministry in the prison. The demon was not in his spirit. It was on his body. His legs were in severe pain. After I said — “Come off of him in the Name of Jesus,” I missed it. Remember, Peter missed it after he and the disciples were rowing furiously in that storm — then Peter stepped out of the boat walking on the water! Peter started sinking in the water — doubt, unbelief robbed Peter and the disciples of God’s best — Remember, the nine disciples that missed it — unbelief robbed them of God’s best — they couldn’t cast the devil out of the boy. You see, I missed it when I asked this dear man — “See if you can stand on one leg without any pain.” He couldn’t. He was in severe pain. I put my hands on his legs again — I felt that fire jump from hand to hand. I said again — “Come off of him, you foul spirit, that oppresses this man’s body. I command you to come off of him in the Name of Jesus.” I missed it again asking — “Now, see if you can bend your legs without any pain.” He couldn’t. His legs were as painful as ever. I did the whole thing again and he still was in pain. Back then before I know what I know now — I foolishly thought three times was enough to minister to a person. He went back to his seat without being helped. Back then, I wasn’t realizing that I had allowed unbelief, doubt to creep into me. Beloved, doubt, unbelief — are enemies! Blessings Flowing
