Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer!
I continue to share about legalism which I feel is affecting many believers in the body of Christ. The title of my message is: " LEGALISM MISSES MIRACLES"
In the following verses of John 9:15-18, look at how legalism kept the Pharisees from simply receiving the awesomeness of the miracle Jesus had performed: The scripture says, " So now again the Pharisees asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He smeared mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I see. Then some of the Pharisees said, This Man ( Jesus) is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath. But others said, How can a man who is a sinner ( a bad man) do such signs and miracles? So there was a difference of opinion among them. Accordingly they said to the blind man again, What do you say about Him, seeing that He opened your eyes? And he said, He is ( He must be) a prophet! However, the Jews did not believe that he had ( really) been blind and that he received his sight until they called ( summoned) the parents of the man. ( John 9:15-18)
Notice how the Pharisees had to dissect the miracle, take it apart, and try to reason it out? We will discuss reasoning in my next teachings later, but trying to figure out everything is a joy stealer that causes us to listen to our heads instead of our hearts.
Do you try to " figure out" everything that happens? Do you want to understand everything, to have all your ducks in a row? The Pharisees did. They were so caught up in reasoning and so busy dragging themselves around in the works of their own flesh, trying to obey the rules and keep the laws, they didn't have time for joy or resting in God and enjoying their lives. And they expected everyone else to do the same.
Legalism will always steal your joy and freedom of worship.
The Bible in Isaiah: 29. 13 says "Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: 14. Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid."
Religion and legalism can hinder you from freely serving the Lord. You can miss your miracle if you try to follow religious protocols.
At times you need to break religious protocols in order to access your healing and breakthrough. Legalism can keep you from experiencing the fullness and miraculous power of God.
Don't miss your miracle because of your unbelief and legalism.
Open up to God, believe and worship Him freely and you will receive your breakthrough. ( 2 Chronicles 20:20, John 4:24)
May God richly bless you all!
