QUIET CORRESPONDING ACTION !

QUIET CORRESPONDING ACTION ! Jairus had done all he could do. What was his statement of faith ? "I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live." He released his faith to the point that if Jesus laid his hands on his daughter, she would be healed. 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 she shall live." Believe what he had established with his own faith. The bad news 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, "If You hadn't stopped and heal this lady, You would have gotten here in time to heal my daughter." Jesus said, "Don't do anything but believe." Again, what was he supposed to believe ? He was supposed to believe what he said back there, "come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live." He had gone as far as he could go. His corresponding action was 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. Sometimes, corresponding actions is to just rest in what you have already said or prayed and believe. You do not have to continue praying until you see a manifestation, that is a sure sign of unbelief. When you don't know anything else to do, after you have done your praying and you're confessing, rest in the Lord. The apostle Paul said in (Ephesians 6:13), . . . And having done all, to stand. Stand ! On the foundation of what you said and prayed, if there is nothing else you can do in faith, just stand, resting on God's promise. Corresponding action is 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 to do concerning the Word of God. It isn't the fact that 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 inactivity that may happen. But the inactivity 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 show themselves onto the priest. And they went, they were cleansed. Sometimes corresponding action men doing nothing in faith. But not something foolish. Then on the other hand, sometimes it means to just do nothing at all, but just resting what you have already done. Sometimes when people are in a problem in their faith is low, they start trying to make faith confessions, and they make them out of fear. You can say all the right things, and save 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 any situation just by the in 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 they made 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 actions is necessary in every situation. Sometimes it's something you by faith, and sometimes it's something you don't do. God has already released His faith in what He said. He believed 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 and settle it on earth.
