Time to decide.


Stepping  Out in RED Shoes!
- Day 151 -

          
It starts with a whisper… 
“Come with Me!” 

Quick – you have to make a decision:  

Will you follow the voice of God?  Or Not?


That one moment of decision determines:

      • whether you’re in or out.
      • whether you’re going deeper or staying the same.
      • whether you’re healed or remain afflicted.

In that quintessential moment
you either move forward or get left behind.

Tonight as I talked to a group of believers about divine healing, it dawned on me:

You can take a leap of faith and believe,
Or be left behind because of doubt and fear.

You can believe that God is who the Bible says He is…

Jehovah-Rapha –  “I am the LORD your Physician”
“I am the LORD who heals you.”   ( Exodus 15:26)

Or you can believe not.



Isaiah 53:5 says...

"But He was pierced for our transgressions, 
He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, 
and by His wounds we are healed."

You can believe that the LORD, Jesus Christ – the same yesterday, today and forever – died on the cross,
 and paid in full the price for your salvation, healing, deliverance, and provision.

Or you can believe not.



It’s like there’s 2 lines.  In one, people are getting answers to prayers.
In the other, nothing is happening.
One line believes -- The other doubts.

What line are you in?

I’ve been in both.  I like the one I’m in now, best. -- It’s the one that’s moving.  When I didn’t  need healing, deliverance or provision, I was content standing around just talking about it -- bantering ideas back and forth with others -- debating about this and that.  But when I became desperate for healing, deliverance and provision, I found myself compelled to jump in the line where all the action was. 


That’s where God met me.  
In that line!  
That’s where I received what I needed.

Isn’t it funny how desperation will make moving to the other line so easy?


I want to be the one who prays and gets results, 
not the one who spends all their time talking 
about whether or not prayer brings results.

That said...  for me,  Stepping Out in RED Shoes is about stepping into the line that’s moving.
