Mark 5:36 “But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.” (NLT)
Mark 5:36 Overhearing but ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear; only keep on believing.” (AMP)
Many have been listening to the voice of death and defeat but I say to you today don’t be afraid; just believe.” Many have looked at your life and have rendered their verdict of death but I say to you again, I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life and I speak to that which is dead and it lives. It must live at My command. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. (John 12:24) I will speak life to every dead place, every dead dream and it will live. You must seek Me for wisdom in this season. So I say today consider your ways and consider those who have pushed their way into your life but are not genuine in their agreement because there are among those who have just been tagging along. You must examine your associations and acquaintances because not everyone can handle My supernatural hand at work in your life so guard your heart in this season. Sometimes it is vitally necessary to shut out the noise and the crowd because the crowd cannot receive the extent of my supernatural that I am going to release, their unbelief can become a hindrance to your advancement. Do not listen to the voice of distraction which has tried to tell you that thing which you hope for is dead. And watch and pray against false reports for this is a deciding season and My question to you is; Who are you going to listen to? I declare today that your dream is not dead; your vision may have been delayed but it has not been rendered void. My child I have been working behind the scene and My Word shall not return unto Me void but it shall accomplish that which I sent it forth to do. And I Am calling forth life out of that which also appears to be dead. The release of My anointing upon My people in this day will be like nothing ever seen before because; it is that same resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead that now lives and works in you. You shall live and not die and declare My glory, says the Lord.
Matthew 5:21-43 (MSG) A Risk of Faith
21-24After Jesus crossed over by boat, a large crowd met him at the seaside. One of the meeting-place leaders named Jairus came. When he saw Jesus, he fell to his knees, beside himself as he begged, "My dear daughter is at death's door. Come and lay hands on her so she will get well and live." Jesus went with him, the whole crowd tagging along, pushing and jostling him. 25-29A woman who had suffered a condition of hemorrhaging for twelve years—a long succession of physicians had treated her, and treated her badly, taking all her money and leaving her worse off than before—had heard about Jesus. She slipped in from behind and touched his robe. She was thinking to herself, "If I can put a finger on his robe, I can get well." The moment she did it, the flow of blood dried up. She could feel the change and knew her plague was over and done with. 30At the same moment, Jesus felt energy discharging from him. He turned around to the crowd and asked, "Who touched my robe?" 31His disciples said, "What are you talking about? With this crowd pushing and jostling you, you're asking, 'Who touched me?' Dozens have touched you!" 32-33But he went on asking, looking around to see who had done it. The woman, knowing what had happened, knowing she was the one, stepped up in fear and trembling, knelt before him, and gave him the whole story. 34Jesus said to her, "Daughter, you took a risk of faith, and now you're healed and whole. Live well, live blessed! Be healed of your plague." 35While he was still talking, some people came from the leader's house and told him, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher anymore?" 36Jesus overheard what they were talking about and said to the leader, "Don't listen to them; just trust me." 37-40He permitted no one to go in with him except Peter, James, and John. They entered the leader's house and pushed their way through the gossips looking for a story and neighbors bringing in casseroles. Jesus was abrupt: "Why all this busybody grief and gossip? This child isn't dead; she's sleeping." Provoked to sarcasm, they told him he didn't know what he was talking about. 40-43But when he had sent them all out, he took the child's father and mother, along with his companions, and entered the child's room. He clasped the girl's hand and said, "Talitha koum," which means, "Little girl, get up." At that, she was up and walking around! This girl was twelve years of age. They, of course, were all beside themselves with joy. He gave them strict orders that no one was to know what had taken place in that room. Then he said, "Give her something to eat."
