Believing in the words of Jesus!

Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” John 4:50

Jesus was approached by a nobleman whose son was close to death. He asked Jesus to come to his home and heal his son.

Jesus said to the nobleman, “Go your way, your son lives.”

The spiritual truth in this story is you and I have to accept the words of Jesus by faith. Jesus speaks and we believe without any proof or evidence.

Jesus told the nobleman to go about his business and not worry about the outcome of his son’s illness. Jesus was in actuality telling the nobleman to have confidence in His words; “I have spoken and your son has been healed.” So it was just a matter of the healing taking place in real time.

In this situation, the healing took place at the same moment Jesus spoke to the nobleman.

The words of God are alive and powerful so when God speaks to you accept His words without doubt or compromise. Jesus creates all things by His Word. They are invisible to you until they come into existence in His perfect timing.

The promises of Jesus may come into your life today, next week or several years from now.

The point of this story is to listen for the voice of God speaking to you through the Holy Spirit and believe with all your heart in the promises of God.

Go out into life today and enjoy the Christmas season. You can live with hope because Jesus has spoken to you and He keeps His Word!
