Man seems to be more concerned about fixing his surroundings, rather than dealing with the inside of himself.
Man is always looking for an answer to fix something that God created good, and that creation, the earth, had nothing to do with the trouble we find our selves in.
On the other hand, while in an endless crusade to make the world a better created world, man refuses to address the real problem.
" It's not that the ice is melting on the North Pole and the earth is warming and we must act now to fix it! No! God, the creator of all things has control, the real issue is man, that was created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26), has fallen from that place of being good, through the sin of disobedience, he has always tried to shift the blame to something or to others!"
People blame the mess they find themselve in on their environment!
Or they blame their parents, or they blame the government!
It's time that man let's God shine His light on the real problem!
If man would deal with himself honestly, by being transformed by the Cross of Christ, this world would truly be a better place to live!
But let's look at what God will do about the climate one day.
Does God mention "Global Warming"?
2Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2Peter 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2Peter 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
2Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
2Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
2Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
2Peter 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
2Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
This world will one day pass away, by the power of God!
Man has tried to hold on to the world, they've killed to try to have it, they've stolen to try to have , they've tried to change every thing to make it better to have it! But the only way it is worth having, is by allowing Christ Jesus to change us first!
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall never pass away! The word of God is greater than all the world has to offer!
According to 2Peter2:10-18, we are to be looking for the coming of the Lord!
We are to be living in obedience to the Lord each day!
"Christ will return back to this earth again, having raptured His Church!"
He will set up His kingdom on this earth for one thousand years! He will rule with a rod of iron!
Satan has been bound during this time and is no threat during this time. But man's greatest enemy is himself! After the thousand years has expired (Rev.20:7), Satan will be loosed for a season, he will go throughout the world and deceive the nations. There will still be men who will continue to be ruled by self!
The last war that will be fought will end in defeat of Satan and disobedience men!
Revelation 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Revelation 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Global Warming?
"We had better be more concerned with making sure our names are found written in the book of life!"
The only way it will be written there is by believing the gospel of Jesus Christ!
Jesus came and lived and died on the cross for all of mankind, who are sinners, and must repent and believe only in Jesus to be saved! Then, after repentance and only then by the Blood of Jesus are their names written in the book of life!
"Deal with the inside of you, that is corrupt before you try to fix a world that God has under control!"
Global Warming? Yes! God way! Be ready!

The Neglected Message Today
Mat 4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
The people which sat in darkness saw great light!
These people sat in the region and shadow of death!
When Jesus began His ministry on this earth, it was a time of great darkness and death taking hold of many people. And His message for a world in this condition was "Repent : for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
This message has been neglected by so many today that darkness covers the earth, and gross darkness the people!
Jesus came preaching a simple message: "Repent and turn from your sin and turn to God!"
That's the message we have neglected to be faithful in proclaiming! Why? Because the polls have been taken and ministers have found out what the people in their areas want to hear. They've agreed to a price! They've fashioned their message to cater to the flesh to fill their buildings that have people who are empty and void of the Holy Spirit!
When the Holy Spirit is come He will guide you into all truth!
He will guide you into a relationship with Jesus Christ!
He will guide you into the truth of God's word!
He will guide you into life of prayer and consecration to the purposes of God!
He will guide you into a life of walking in repentance!
The truth is , that man is a sinner and has to repent! Jesus came preaching this message and it must not be lost in order to gain a statistic!
If we will preach the right message with the love of Christ, darkness will be expelled!
Think about when you really understood what it means to repent and you responded. Do you remember? Darkness flees every time a sinner truly repents! The Lord adds to the Church daily such as should be saved!

Many Became More Religious But A Few Would Be Faithful
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
John 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
John 6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
John 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
John 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
John 6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
One of the greatest characteristics of Christ is that He never joked about anything. I don't see Him joking about the salvation of lost souls!
He never made a side-show out of one of the many healings He did.
I don't believe He even crack a smile when He said: "Ye must deny yourself and take up your cross and follow Me."
Christ never left anybody wondering what He preached. He always made sure He said what the Father said to Him.
Jesus told a man that he had to repent or he would perish and He wasn't grinning when He said!
The souls of man-kind was very serious to Him, a far cry from so many today that claim to be saving the world.
We have preachers today that are making people become more religious and less Christlike!
Jesus said in John 6:63: "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak are spirit, and they are life."
What Jesus said here cannot be mistakened! He said the spirit makes alive and He said the flesh profits nothing!
Why then does so many want to be religious rather than disciples of Christ?
John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
Jesus said that no man can come to Him except He was given the ability from God.
John 6:66 says that from that time many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.
Instead of being led of the Spirit, they have allowed their flesh to lead them! It that way today in many churches, flesh is in control the Spirit of the living God has departed!
As many left following Jesus to become more religious, He turns to the twelve disciples and ask: "Will you also go away?"
Simon peter says: "Lord, to whom shall we go" Thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God!
There's two camps then and there's two camps today.
A religious flesh that wants to add Jesus to their inventions of man.
And there's a people that has heard the living word that are spirit and life speak to them and have been made alive! They know__that there's no other to go to. Christ only has the words of eternal life! They know that the flesh profits nothing! They know and are sure the Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God!
Now which camp are you in? You are in one of them.
John 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

Hope is About to Break the Horizon
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Christ gave His life as an offering for many (all) but He will appear the second time without sin unto salvation!
Christ at any moment!!!! Will return only for those that are looking for Him!
Not because you belong to : The Baptist Church, the Assembly of God, the Church of God, Methodist Church, or any other denomination made by man
NO!!!! YOU MUST BE WASHED IN HIS BLOOD!! YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN!!! YOU MUST BELONG TO CHRIST! YOU MUST BE LOOKING FOR HIM!
He's not coming back for a church filled with fornicators, adulterers, liars, unfaithful, unholy, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God!
Hebrews says He has once offered Himself as the sacrifice for our sins and Acts 1:8 Jesus said that we would receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon us! His resurrected life by the Holy Ghost living in us gives us the power to witness that the life of Christ lives in us!
We , (who really are) God's people must get our eyes back on Jesus! He has given us power not to get wealth! Not to have everything go our way! Not to always have the best in this life!
No!!!! The greatest sign that this world can see in us is that we are a holy people walking to please God and not our flesh!
We are clean through the Word of God! We are to be obedient to the word no matter the cost!
No matter if every person in my church or my family has compromised their stand on the word of God, or if I find myself compromising the truth just to have unity, God humble me! Do what you have to do! I want to be looking for you Lord!
It's too late for living careless! We are in a crisis hour and many people who say they are saved are living lives that are no different from the world!
We are to raise the standard! We've compromised our standards so in the church today that snakes are crawling into the church! People believe anything! We must return to Christ!
We want to build a church and fill it up with anything! We've brought the world into the church today and self is on the throne in most lives today!
Colossians 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
For us to really have hope, we must be living the life of another! Jesus Christ!
If He is our life, when He appears, we will appear with Him! We will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air!
1Peter 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
That crown represents a reward for our faithfulness to Christ!
The glory of this crown is everlasting!
1John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

"ARE YOU DESPERATE ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THAT CHRIST NEVER FAILS?"
This leader of a religious assembly of his day had been brought to the end of himself! His position, his status, nor his ability was able to give him hope!
Read the words: " and when he saw Him (Jesus), he fell at His feet.
Mark 5:22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
As long as we have the slightest possiblility of being able to handle the situation we are in, we will continue to try everything we know to do.
People who are desperate are brought to a humbling place where they aren't intimidated by those around them. They are fearful of no man! They regard not their own lives! They are transported out of the many voices and things that get their attention so easily!
"God allows us to be placed in such situations of desperation with the desire to bring us to a surrendered trust to Him!"
What you are faced with right now isn't a happenstance, it has been allowed to come upon you for a purpose.
It may well have been brought on by your own doing, or by someone else but you can be sure that God knows all about every detail of the cause and why is has come!
"God is working in the hearts of multiple millions of people in this very hour!"
Every person will respond in one of two ways: Either their hearts will be humbled in their time of desperation and look to Christ. Or either they will reject Christ and be hardened in their hearts to the purposes of God!
Mark 5:23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
Jairus was humbled, the Bible says that he besought Jesus greatly!
No longer was his response to Jesus passive! It was with great intense feeling that he besought Jesus!
"When we are truly humbled before God , our feeling toward Jesus doesn't remain passive."
In his hour of confusion, Jairus has the ear of Jesus!
His desperation has brought him to the place of total surrender to the source of his need. He doesn't yet have the manifestation of God's supply but he has totally disregarded himself from getting in the way of Christ coming and putting His hands on his daughter!
Oh! Today if we would learn what God is saying to us. If we are just willing to lay our life down and let the life of Christ live in us!
Mark 5:24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
And Jesus went with him.
If we will get right in our approach to God, Jesus will go with us!
It doesn't matter the greatest of the trouble that you may find yourself in today, Jesus will always respond to a heart that is contrite and when our spirit is broken to do God's will!
No sickness, no disease, no trouble that can pile upon you so high that Christ cannot get to the root of the problem and bring you the answer!
If He's going with you, you must believe!
"Sometimes your need is slow to come, don't lose heart, Jesus is still there!"
Mark 5:25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
For twelve years Jairus' daughter has been the joy of his life. But for a nameless woman in the Bible that is referred to as "a certain woman", for her the same twelve years that has been joy for Jarius, has been years of pain, years of hope in a cure only to be brought to a place of total hopelessness.
The same years bring different circumstances to these people but their time and circumstances are about to meet! Jairus is facing his greatest fear, his daughter is about to die! But on the day his daughter was born, for this certain woman death began to take it's grip upon her. From the day that little girl came into Jairus and his wife lives to be such joy and love, the certain woman's life became hell on earth! Years of sorrow and shattered hopes of getting better was all she had to look for.
"No matter if you are just entering into your trouble or whether you have been battling for years, Christ is a very present help in the time of trouble!"
Mark 5:26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
There are people today that have refused to go back and receive treatment for a medical problem because of the pain was so severe and unbearable.
The Bible says the certain woman suffered (allowed) many things of many physicians! Oh, what things we will allow to be done to us if we think it will work. These things that she allowed cost her everything that she had! And the tragedy of it all was that nothing helped her but rather she became more close to death!
Mark 5:27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
"It's an amazing thing that nobody ever told her about Jesus!"
She was told about all kinds of remedies for her problem.
She was told of every doctor that could treat her problem.
She was given a cost analysis and an itemized bill for her problem.
She suffered many things of many physicians.
"But from the beginning of her sickness to the end there wasn't a word mentioned to her to seek the Lord!"
But thank God it's never to late to tell somebody about the Lord and His delivering power!
But when she heard of Jesus! But when she heard of Jesus! She came, sickness in all, behind the crowd of people and pressed her way into the crowd and touched Jesus!
Mark 5:28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
She said if I may but touch His clothes, I shall be made whole! If I may touch even His clothes, they are righteousness, they are purity, they are healing in His wings!
Mark 5:29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
Her sickness had held her in it's constant and sure grip but immediately, she was healed and delivered!
Mark 5:30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
The certain woman had touched Jesus' clothes by faith and believing!
Mark 5:31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
Out of all the people and the clamour of the day, a certain woman touches Jesus! One woman desperate enough to believe that Christ never fails!
Mark 5:32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
Virtue (power)had been drawn out of Jesus by this desperate woman! Jesus looks around to see her that touched Him!
Mark 5:33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
Fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, she came and fell down before Jesus and told Him all the truth.
She knew what was done! She knew it was the Lord's doing!
All the years of searching for help and deliverance was in the past! She had heard of Jesus! She had touched Jesus! She told Him all the truth! She said to Jesus: "I have trusted in man's ability for twelve years but today I trust you, Lord!"
Mark 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
Jesus said: "Thy faith has made you whole, go in peace and stay healed of this sickness!"
Mark 5:35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
"The Devil will always try to put a damper on a testimony service that is giving God the glory."
Mark 5:36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
When we are truly humbled before the Lord, He will help us believe Him.
Jesus says to you today that have been humbled before Him by circumstances, "Be not afraid, only believe!"
Mark 5:37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
Jesus continues to follow a humbled Jairus.
Mark 5:38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
Jesus will go all the way to your house when you have been humbled before Him!
Mar 5:39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
Death to Jesus is like sleep, He can wake them up!
Mark 5:40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
Religious actors can quickly become scorners and scoffers!
Jesus puts the pretenders and proud out of His presence! He will again one day put the pretenders and the proud out of His presence! Are you a pretender? Are you proud of yourself? Jesus will put you out if you are!
Mark 5:41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
"He takes Jairus' daughter by the hand and speaks a command for her to arise!"
Mark 5:42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
Immediately the daughter arises just like Jesus said!
That death that hold us is like sleep to Jesus! It's is real and makes us desperate!
But are we desperate enough to believe Christ never fails?
Mark 5:43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
Why did Jesus tell them to tell no man?
Why should they have to tell anybody? Their daughter is not dead!
She's alive! Give her something to eat! She's a living, growing daughter!
"Why should we as Christians have to tell anybody when Christ Jesus is living in us!"
Our life should speak loudly that Christ is living in us!
We must be desperate enough to believe Christ never fails!
Hear this today! Jesus is alive! He will come to you in your time of desperation if you will come to Him.
He can be touched by a single person in a great crowd of people that aren't desiring to really touch Him!
Touch Christ today by faith, He will touch you and make you whole! A-men!
Read the words: " and when he saw Him (Jesus), he fell at His feet.
Mark 5:22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
As long as we have the slightest possiblility of being able to handle the situation we are in, we will continue to try everything we know to do.
People who are desperate are brought to a humbling place where they aren't intimidated by those around them. They are fearful of no man! They regard not their own lives! They are transported out of the many voices and things that get their attention so easily!
"God allows us to be placed in such situations of desperation with the desire to bring us to a surrendered trust to Him!"
What you are faced with right now isn't a happenstance, it has been allowed to come upon you for a purpose.
It may well have been brought on by your own doing, or by someone else but you can be sure that God knows all about every detail of the cause and why is has come!
"God is working in the hearts of multiple millions of people in this very hour!"
Every person will respond in one of two ways: Either their hearts will be humbled in their time of desperation and look to Christ. Or either they will reject Christ and be hardened in their hearts to the purposes of God!
Mark 5:23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
Jairus was humbled, the Bible says that he besought Jesus greatly!
No longer was his response to Jesus passive! It was with great intense feeling that he besought Jesus!
"When we are truly humbled before God , our feeling toward Jesus doesn't remain passive."
In his hour of confusion, Jairus has the ear of Jesus!
His desperation has brought him to the place of total surrender to the source of his need. He doesn't yet have the manifestation of God's supply but he has totally disregarded himself from getting in the way of Christ coming and putting His hands on his daughter!
Oh! Today if we would learn what God is saying to us. If we are just willing to lay our life down and let the life of Christ live in us!
Mark 5:24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
And Jesus went with him.
If we will get right in our approach to God, Jesus will go with us!
It doesn't matter the greatest of the trouble that you may find yourself in today, Jesus will always respond to a heart that is contrite and when our spirit is broken to do God's will!
No sickness, no disease, no trouble that can pile upon you so high that Christ cannot get to the root of the problem and bring you the answer!
If He's going with you, you must believe!
"Sometimes your need is slow to come, don't lose heart, Jesus is still there!"
Mark 5:25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
For twelve years Jairus' daughter has been the joy of his life. But for a nameless woman in the Bible that is referred to as "a certain woman", for her the same twelve years that has been joy for Jarius, has been years of pain, years of hope in a cure only to be brought to a place of total hopelessness.
The same years bring different circumstances to these people but their time and circumstances are about to meet! Jairus is facing his greatest fear, his daughter is about to die! But on the day his daughter was born, for this certain woman death began to take it's grip upon her. From the day that little girl came into Jairus and his wife lives to be such joy and love, the certain woman's life became hell on earth! Years of sorrow and shattered hopes of getting better was all she had to look for.
"No matter if you are just entering into your trouble or whether you have been battling for years, Christ is a very present help in the time of trouble!"
Mark 5:26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
There are people today that have refused to go back and receive treatment for a medical problem because of the pain was so severe and unbearable.
The Bible says the certain woman suffered (allowed) many things of many physicians! Oh, what things we will allow to be done to us if we think it will work. These things that she allowed cost her everything that she had! And the tragedy of it all was that nothing helped her but rather she became more close to death!
Mark 5:27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
"It's an amazing thing that nobody ever told her about Jesus!"
She was told about all kinds of remedies for her problem.
She was told of every doctor that could treat her problem.
She was given a cost analysis and an itemized bill for her problem.
She suffered many things of many physicians.
"But from the beginning of her sickness to the end there wasn't a word mentioned to her to seek the Lord!"
But thank God it's never to late to tell somebody about the Lord and His delivering power!
But when she heard of Jesus! But when she heard of Jesus! She came, sickness in all, behind the crowd of people and pressed her way into the crowd and touched Jesus!
Mark 5:28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
She said if I may but touch His clothes, I shall be made whole! If I may touch even His clothes, they are righteousness, they are purity, they are healing in His wings!
Mark 5:29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
Her sickness had held her in it's constant and sure grip but immediately, she was healed and delivered!
Mark 5:30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
The certain woman had touched Jesus' clothes by faith and believing!
Mark 5:31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
Out of all the people and the clamour of the day, a certain woman touches Jesus! One woman desperate enough to believe that Christ never fails!
Mark 5:32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
Virtue (power)had been drawn out of Jesus by this desperate woman! Jesus looks around to see her that touched Him!
Mark 5:33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
Fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, she came and fell down before Jesus and told Him all the truth.
She knew what was done! She knew it was the Lord's doing!
All the years of searching for help and deliverance was in the past! She had heard of Jesus! She had touched Jesus! She told Him all the truth! She said to Jesus: "I have trusted in man's ability for twelve years but today I trust you, Lord!"

Jesus says to you today that have been humbled before Him by circumstances, "Be not afraid, only believe!"
Mark 5:37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
Jesus continues to follow a humbled Jairus.
Mark 5:38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
Jesus will go all the way to your house when you have been humbled before Him!
