“And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet” Mark 5:22 KJV Grace is a higher platform by which God has made provision for our complete salvation and total victory. Where the law was found wanting, grace came to the rescue. In our text for today, you would notice that religion did...

“And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.” Mark 5: 41 KJV The word 'arise' is known in Greek to mean to raise, to awaken, to rise from sleep, to rise from a sitting position or lying position, to rise from disease, or from death, to rise from obscurity, to rise...

“But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.” Matthew 15:23 KJV Faith must be insistent. If you can believe, Jesus will come through for you. My mind goes to the woman of Canaan that came to Jesus. It is recorded in Matthew 15:21-28. Jesus didn’t answer her and then the next thing He said was...

“And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.” Mark 5:34.

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” John 10: 27 KJV All you need is Jesus! If you have Him and can just follow Him wholeheartedly, everything will be alright. Many Christian folks are struggling and they are praying, with nothing to show for it. It is time to begin to follow the Lord. In John 21:15, when all was said and done; Jesus said...

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?” John 4:11 KJV In her interaction with Jesus, the Samaritan woman recognized that there was water in the well, but the well was deep. Water represents so many things in the scriptures. It represents abundant life, eternal life, the Holy Spirit, prosperity,...

“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” James 5:16 KJV If I tell you the things I am going through, would you keep your mouth shut?

“If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:” Isaiah 1:19 Recently I received a testimony from one of my daughters that God elevated to a powerful position.

“For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.” Proverbs 24:16 KJV God’s plan concerning you cannot be aborted. Aren’t you glad that He always has a backup? No matter where you are, no matter the condition you are going through, there is a backup. There is nothing like total failure for a child of God. The righteous falls...
