John 12:21 Then they came to Philip...and asked him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus." nkjv
Why did they wish to see Jesus? Probably because they'd heard He did miracles and healed the sick. Jesus is just the same now as He was then. He still works miracles and still heals people but the big difference is He's doing them through us, His people.
Two of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are miracles and healings and these gifts are available to each one of us through the Holy Spirit. The only reason we don't see more of the supernatural miraculous works of Jesus is because we're probably not believing we can be the instrument they come through.
Jesus is here - but He is in us, waiting for us to be available to lay hands on people believing He'll touch them through us. He's waiting on us to believe for, and call for, the miraculous to happen in people's lives. You'll sometimes hear people saying 'we're just waiting on God to do such and such'. May I suggest they will wait a long time because all the time He is waiting on us!
We are His hands, feet, voice and whatever it is people need. When we say or think 'I couldn't do that, I'd need to get more holy before I could do that', then we've been deceived by the enemy because God says, and Jesus says we can! Why? Because it's not us doing it, we're just the channel for Jesus to do it. His treasure is hidden in our earthen vessels, scripture says.
We are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. What do believers do? They believe Jesus is in them, He's the same yesterday, today and forever and He's still working through them to bring glory to His Father.
Let's believe we can be what God says we can be, do what He says we can do and have what He says we can have. Let's be imitators of God, bringing healing, restoration, miracles and whatever else God has for people.
Let's be Jesus to people because we are Jesus Carriers! Healing Carriers! Miracle Carriers!
It's not us doing it - it's Jesus through us. Let's ask God to help us to stop seeing ourselves as 'can't do people' but to really see ourselves as He does - people who carry His anointing for the supernatural touch of God in others' lives.
Just stop for a minute and see yourself laying hands on the sick and Jesus using your hands to allow Him to heal them. See it with your spiritual eyes of faith.
Jesus said you will do greater things than I have done and more besides! Believe it, it's true. Jesus said so!π
There are people out there who are still wishing to see Jesus but they will only see Him through you and me. I know I find it challenging and expect you do too but God will lead us and strengthen us to do what He calls us to do.
Enjoy being a Jesus Carrier, a Christ One, todayπ
