Thought to Ponder: Follow Through!!
Sometimes Jesus healed sick people by speaking to them, other times He laid His hands on them. Even when God touches us, sometimes we’ve got to walk with our mess until we get to the place of healing, freedom, and deliverance. And here’s another thought. When you bring someone to Jesus, keep walking with them until they can walk on their own. You can’t say to someone who’s struggling with a problem, “I told you about Jesus, and I even brought you to church. But you’re still stumbling around in darkness bound by the same problems, so I give up.” God never gives up on people, and we must not give up on them either. When someone continues to struggle with an old habit, some Christians say they mustn’t really be saved. Question: How often do you give in to resentment, pride, lust, greed, gossip, etc.? The list is endless, yet God doesn’t give up on you. Sometimes people have to “walk out” their deliverance and healing until it fully comes to pass. And that’s how long you need to love them, believe in them, pray for them, and keep working with them.
Go the Extra mile, it’s more than worth it!!
