It’s Wednesday, the middle of the week, and I know that many of you will be going to mid-week service or Wednesday Bible Study at your church. Well, let me pass on point presented by Pastor Marcus R. King at Salt Of The Earth Church (Indianapolis, Indiana) this past Sunday.
When you got to your gathering tonight, or even if it is scheduled earlier in the day or another day, don’t just be in the vicinity, but press toward Jesus, reach toward the Master, and find relief for your circumstances. As Pastor M.R. King said, “Don’t just be in the vicinity.” He emphasized, in so many words, if you are facing a circumstance or a crisis, a situation or a stifling problem, or an obstacle or oppression of some form, you have to do more than be in the vicinity. Yes, you got to get to Jesus, not just get in the vicinity. Then, here comes the good news! Then, you will have the victory!
Read the text below and remember, Jesus can change your position, your present status (In the text, from woman to daughter), from anybody to somebody, from being behind in back to being in front, and again, from vicinity to victory! I tell you we were blessed Sunday, and I am just sharing my blessing with you. Have a great day!
Oh, by the way, Pastor Marcus R. King talked about Icy-Hot Faith too! But I’ll share what he had to say about that tomorrow. Look! He is my Pastor, but he is also my son, anointed by God, and I am sure it is okay to share some of the specific message that God sent through Him this past Sunday! Afterall, he knows what my tee-shirt says, “Be careful what you say or do. I just might write about it!” Smile! Have a great day! Be blessed!
“A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years and had endured much at the hands of many physicians and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but instead had become worse—after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak. For she had been saying to herself, “If I just touch His garments, I will get well.” And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. And immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that power from Him had gone out, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments? “And His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’” And He looked around to see the woman who had done this. But the woman, fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be cured of your disease.” (Mark 5:25-34 NASB)
Committed to the climb,
Mark L. King
The transformative response to the woman, now referred to as daughter is a shout out for me. Jesus loves us so much, and always allows us to be valued in His sight. That’s why I will always make my towards Jesus and not just in the vicinity.
Yo do an excellent job of not just being in the vicinity; a good example for other to follow Dr. King. You are a child of God and it is obvious. Be blessed!
