John 4:46-53
4 Tips on How to Walk Blind with the Words of Jesus:
1- Your asking for interventions is the easiest part of the journey, Your persistence in what you do with that ask is what determines the comfort (or terror) level of the blind walk of faith. What are you saying to yourself and finding out about yourself on the way from the ask to the miracle you seek?
2- We need to be willing to pray for God to shut the wrong doors as much as we pray for Him to open the right ones. You sometimes learn more from the doors you thought you were going to walk through, than the ones you actually have walked through.
3 - A crack in the door deserves a kick to see if we can get it open... sometimes we are too passive, too non-committal, too cost-averse and comfort seeking, to seek out a life that forces God to open doors of healing, wholeness, and opportunity for us. His journey to find Jesus for his son was 28 miles, uphill, in a desert... sometimes we forget there is no testimony, without the word "test".
4- Would you have trusted the 4 words, or only trusted if he physically stood next to you and made the 28 mile hike back? Oftentimes it is what we think Jesus should do for us that is hindering what He is actually wanting to do for us.
