Message for September 19, 2021 from Pastor Shirley

At the time the woman was healed, Jesus was on the way to the house of Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, to pray for his daughter, who was dying.  When Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has made you whole,” Jairus’ servants came from his house, saying, “Don’t trouble Jesus any longer. Your daughter is already dead.”  When Jesus heard them say that to Jairus, He spoke, “Fear not, only believe.”  At that moment, Jairus could have believed the bad report, gotten in fear, and given up.  But Jesus said, “Let Me tell you what to do in this situation, fear not, only believe.

”Jesus arriving at Jarius’ house said to them, “Why all this grief and weeping?  The little girl is not dead but is sleeping.  He tenderly clasped the child’s hand in his and said to her, “Little girl, I say to you, arise from the sleep of death]!  And instantly the girl got up and started walking around

Fear paralyzes us and keeps us from going forward. What in your life has been put to sleep because of fear.  I say to you, “Fear not only believe”.
