“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22
The story of the Woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8: 43-48 is a remarkable one. Jesus said to her, “…thy faith hath made thee whole…”. Notice something, What is faith? According to Hebrews11: 1 , “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” This woman wanted to be healed of her condition. She could have simply believed in her home that God can heal her, but it was not enough. She had to act, she had to do something.In addition, she had to act on a Word. I am sure she had heard about how Jesus was healing people everywhere he went and her faith was stirred up when she heard Jesus was coming to her town.
Faith without works is dead(Ref James 2:17). What miracle do you need in your life. Just act on God’s Word, launch out and expect your miracle.
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” James 1:22-25
Remember, Faith is not passive it is active, an active leap on God’s Word.
Stay Blessed
