When your faith says yes….

 “Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.” Matthew 9:27 (KJV).

When your faith says yes, God will never say no. This truth is vividly illustrated in many stories in the Bible, including our text and the story of the centurion in Matthew 8:5–13. The centurion, a man of authority, approached Jesus with unwavering faith, believing that just a word from Him would heal his servant. Jesus marveled at his faith and said, "Go; let it be done for you as you have believed." The servant was healed at that very moment. This powerful narrative underscores the principle that God responds to the measure of our faith. When we approach Him with complete trust, believing in His power and goodness, He is faithful to act on our behalf, aligning His will with our faith-filled requests.

" And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour." Matthew 8:13.

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

Similarly, the account of the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:25–34 further demonstrates this principle. For twelve years, she had suffered and sought healing from many physicians, but it was her faith in Jesus that made the difference. She believed that merely touching his garment would make her whole. Jesus, recognizing her faith, said, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction." Her story is a testament to the fact that when our faith reaches out, God responds with His miraculous power. As Hebrews 11:6 reminds us, "And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him." Thus, when our faith says yes, it opens the door for God to work wonders in our lives.

May you develop a “yes” faith unto the Lord, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, do Your wonder in my life and with my life, in Jesus’ name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.
