Quiet Corresponding Action !

QUIET CORRESPONDING ACTION : Jairus had done all he could do. He released his fate to the point that if Jesus laid His hands on his daughter, she would be healed and she would live. When Jesus heard the bad news He said to Jairus, ... Be not afraid, only believe (Mark 5:36). Believe what ? "When you lay your hands on my daughter, she shall be healed and live." Believe what he had established with his own faith, that was not the time for Jairus to start making faith confessions, if he had, he would have gotten into fear and unbelief. He probably would have said it, "if you hadn't stopped and healed this lady, you would have gotten there in time to heal my daughter." Both of these individuals said what they believe. Jesus said, to Jairus," Don't do anything but believe." He had gone as far as he could go. His corresponding actions were to just be quiet. (Psalms 37:7) says, Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him..." There is a time to rest in the Lord, and do not throw away your confidence in the promise of God's Word. Sometimes, corresponding action is to just rest in what you have already said and believed. When you don't know anything else to do, rest in the Lord. Paul the apostle said in (Ephesians 6:13), ... And having done all, to stand. Stand ! If there is nothing else you can do in faith, just stand, resting on God's promise. Corresponding action is to say, "I know what I will do----rest in the Lord, because I have done all that I know to do." But be sure that you have done all you know that the Scripture says to do. It isn't the fact you didn't do anything. If you aren't careful, people get the idea that doing nothing is what made it happen. No, it wasn't the end activity that made it happen. But the end activity sometimes is the corresponding action needed. But not in every situation. For instance, in the case of the 10 lepers, their corresponding action was to go and show themselves unto the priest. And as they went, they were cleansed. Sometimes corresponding action means doing something in the light of the Scripture of faith. But not something foolish. Then on the other hand, sometimes it means to just do nothing at all, but just rest in what you have already done according to the Scripture. Sometimes when people are in a problem and their faith is low, they start trying to make faith confessions, and they make them out of fear. Oh yes, you can measure faith ! Low faith is low Word and have faith is high on the Word. You can say all the right things, and say them in fear instead of faith. You Can Confess the Word of God in fear. Some people are doing it. It must be a confession of faith. That is why you can't judge in a situation just body end results alone. It may have looked like they were operating in faith. They were saying the right things. But you don't know if they were in faith or fear. You don't know what they were really believing. Sometimes there may have just begun to confess the Word as the last resort, and faith had not been developed. They really believe the opposite was coming. They were too late with too little, so to speak. Corresponding action is necessary in every situation. Sometimes it's something that you do not faith, and sometimes it's something you don't do. God has already released His faith in what He said. If it wasn't any faith in the Word of God, then you and I could not gain any faith from the Word of God. For faith in God "comes by hearing and by hearing the Word of God". (Romans 10:17). He believes every word will come to pass, and He acts as though it were true. Corresponding actions has two sides to it--- God's side, and your side. You must do your part. God has already done His part. God's Word is forever settled in heaven. But we must establish or settle it on earth.
