Jesus interrupted so many funerals. He inconvenienced mourners and estate planning. He said “Lazarus, come forth” and He did. He noticed Jairus’ daughter was only sleeping. She awoke. The church cries out for physical healing every day and unintentionally the prayer for healing becomes about OUR faith. We fight to muster faith that pleases and perfects. We know our faith can be as tiny as a mustard seed but we fight to believe. We fight our doubt, fears, pressure from peers, etc. We desperately want to see the dead raised. That is the ultimate miracle. We want to praise, intercede, and wage spiritual warfare to see the dead rise. Miracles don’t happen because we believed. They happen because we know who did it then will do it again now. As much as our faith pleases God, the only faith that interrupts funerals is a faith that has nothing to do with your belief but everything to do with what he has done. You will never interrupt a funeral but God did and will again. It is Christ who believes through us. It is Christ that took on the cross and defeated death. It is the same Christ that believes through you. You rest in His finished work. How do you rest? How do you not worry? You can abide in perfect peace when you leave your doubt, fear, concern and meager faith at the foot of the cross. You give up the strive to believe and rest in His sweat, blood and stripes that DID THE WORK. He gifts back to you rest, assurance, unchangeable resting-faith that knows what the stripes did for you. Tell God you can’t believe. Tell God you need him to believe through you. You cast the concern of not being able to believe and then forget your care. You don’t intentionally forget. You just stop worrying. You forget your troubles as waters gone by. When you least expect it, while you patiently abided and restfully awaited, patience had its perfect work. The blood of Jesus did the work so your faith would be authored and finished by the pioneer of your salvation. You cannot save yourself with massive, mountain-moving faith you conjured but by HIS stripes you are healed. Pride says “I have mountain moving faith” while faith that rests celebrates the mountain that is already moved. https://www.instagram.com/p/CL-rCqJjlyo/?igshid=e0yygdmkidbj
