"And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, 'Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.'" (Matthew 8:2)
The Gospels are full of Jesus' acts of compassion. He never said to anyone, "I think you just need to bear this a little longer. After all, a little suffering is good for you." Such reasoning just helps us of, "little faith," explain why we don't see more of what we see our Lord and people of faith doing in the Scriptures.
I believe that our Lord Jesus Christ is leading us into a "have-to" faith in this season. If we don't believe that Jesus is still doing what He did in the Gospels, then we won't have the faith to navigate, "in the last days, perilous times will come."
There are many who believe that we are in the days of the last great revival to sweep the earth, and that revival will be the most manifestation of what Jesus commissioned the Church to do since the First Century, "And as you go, preach, saying, 'The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give."
Father, in Jesus' Name, I want to be a part of what You are about to do in the earth. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
