I was reflecting on this passage this morning. The thought that crossed my mind was how we, as leaders, have the potential to prevent continual miracles from being performed in our lives and businesses by allowing fear to grip us. The superior response is that of faith.
“But without faith it is impossible to please him [God]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6 KJV
We see where Jesus came to this region walking in his anointing and authority. He just rebuked the storm on the trip. He then casted a legion of devils out of a man who was possessed.
He clearly came so that he could set the people free from all manor of sickness and disease and meet their needs, IF THEY WERE WILLING, OPEN AND IN EXPECTATION BY FAITH.
What we see is that for whatever reason, the whole region was gripped by their fear and REJECTED their deliverance opportunity.
As leaders, we have the ability to shut down continued blessings, deliverance from our issues as well as prevent receiving revelations because of our fear. Sometimes fear can arise from lack and sometimes fear can come from being overwhelmed by abundance and favour.
The scripture tells us that we can create the conditions where blessings are pouring out:
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” Malachi 3:10 KJV
When the blessings come, FEAR NOT BUT FLOW IN FAITH.
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21 KJV
Let’s continue to just diligently seek him.
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear; and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee.
And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.”
Luke 8:33-40 KJV
