When it looks Like God is not hearing

See this woman... I, I myself is the resurrection and The Life. And Jesus Christ said Lazarus come forth and that man came out even with grave clothes on his face. It didn’t even matter that he was tied up, it didn’t matter that He had grave clothes on his face, that man still came out, straight up because that situation had received life.
It does not just even matter anything that has tied it down, When Christ says come forth, the thing will come forth. He was like okay, loose him, let him go and people that were around, you know those Jews that did not use to believe Jesus before it was at this time that they believed

So, I was reading the other day and something really drew my attention. It's the story about Lazarus. As I was reading and the part that caught my attention was 'He abode still, two days in the same place where He was' as the story will continue, He said to His disciples, He said that (..ahh) 'let us enter into Judea again' they said, 'they want to kill you in that place'. He said that (...ahh), 'Lazarus is sleeping'. His disciples didn't really understand the 'sleeping' They said (...ahh), 'if He is sleeping then that's good for him'. Jesus said, 'No, you don't understand it, He has died'

However, there was something He said that was really interesting which was 'this sickness is not unto death but its unto the glory of God'. Like, there are somethings that will happen that God will intentionally allow to happen.

The other thing that hit me was Christ knew the whole time that He was sick, Christ knew the whole time that He had died because Christ said 'He is sleeping'. The same Martha that came to meet Him and told Him before Lazarus died that Lazarus was sick. That same Martha came out of her house and came to meet Him before He even got home and was like 'If you had come, Lazarus wouldn't have died. But I know that anything You ask God, He will do'.

I say 'Wow!!' Woman, your faith is major. She was grieving, her brother had died and she told Christ before he died and what she is saying is 'but I know that anything You ask of God, He will do it'. ahhh.. As in, that woman's faith is challenging. Wow!!

Jesus Christ approached the house and Mary, Martha, people were there and they were all crying. And then, the scripture says, Christ groaned in His Spirit. That helped me to understand, it wasn't that Christ didn't love Lazarus, it wasn't scarcity of love that made Him to stay two days, it wasn't lack of care that made Him to stay two days. This is because the scriptures says, Christ groaned. That means when we weep, when we grieve, when we go through stuffs, Christ groans in His Spirit.

The part that now drove it all in, 'Jesus wept'.That is one of the only parts of the bible, thirty-three years that I saw that Jesus Christ wept. haa. I now said, haa... 'Jesus Christ really loved this man'.

They've tied Him up, they've put a stone over the grave and everything. Jesus Christ had to be like (say), 'Where did you put Him?' And then you know they went in and Jesus Christ said 'Take away the stone'. Maybe it is time to take away the stone. All those things that you know, we may have done and we are like we think it is over because of what the reality looks like so we just take actions in our mind to close that chapter.

Maybe it is time to take away the stone. Maybe its time to take away the stone. Maybe Christ is about to come into Judea. Remember what He said at the beginning to His disciples, He said 'Let's go into Judea, Lazarus has died'. Like, in their minds, they think it is over but it is not over, let's go into Judea.

So, maybe Christ is about to come into Judea and its like, we need to take away whatever stones we've put over the..., wherever we've put the stone, whatever kind of stones we've put. Maybe its time to take them away. And Christ said “Lazarus, come forth”. Christ is like what is that situation in your life? I’m about to give it life. He was like “I am the resurrection and The Life” because He was still telling Martha that your brother will live again and Martha was like “Yes Lord, I know, that in the resurrection, He will be resurrected” and Jesus Christ is saying see this woman I, I myself is the resurrection and The Life. And Jesus Christ said Lazarus come forth and that man came out even with grave clothes on his face. It didn’t even matter that he was tied up, it didn’t matter that He had grave clothes on his face, that man still came out, straight up because that situation had received life.

It does not just even matter anything that has tied it down, When Christ says come forth, the thing will come forth. He was like okay, loose him, let him go and people that were around, you know those Jews that did not use to believe Jesus before it was at this time that they believed, many of them actually believed. That situation was used to show off the glory of God. So, Jesus could have healed him before He died but if Jesus Christ had healed him before He died, those Jews that believed him at this particular point, will they have believed? These people knew and saw clearly that Lazarus died but they could also see with their eyes that he had been raised up.

Imagine how far this news will go. Even for Mary and Martha, Now their faith in Christ will be like next level. This kind of thing, let’s say He was sick and Christ healed him. Maybe some people will say ahh, He was going to be alright anyways. Is he not using drugs, did he heal him? But this one, nobody can hide it, nobody can tell story ontop of it. Nothing nothing nothing. Even Christ said that it was good that He wasn’t There when Lazarus died because this would be for the glory of God. Let’s say Christ was there maybe somebody will think of a possible manipulation If it was that he healed the sickness, maybe somebody will think Lazarus could have been healed we know he is taking drugs.

In this particular case because everyone knew that the guy had died They had put grave clothes, they had put stones, everything has ended, matter has ended. Then Jesus Christ said Let us go into Judea, something wants to happen there. What’s that situation? Once Jesus Christ says “come forth”, Haa… the matter has ended; because its being delayed don’t mean that God is not hearing, that Jesus is not hearing. That delay may just be so that your miracle can be like… Everybody!… nobody will be able to deny it at the end of the day. It really… it wowed me.

Because the situation looks like it is over doesn’t Really mean it is over, one. Two, because He is not saying anything, because there is a delay in answer, because the matter is red, because the situation looks like…(speechless) as in…(speechless) it don’t mean that the answer won’t come.

And, I am challenged by Martha’s faith, the fact that at the point even after Christ came, she still ran out to meet Him, she was still the one that went in and went to call Mary, she was still the one that said Christ, I know that anything you ask God, He will do…

Yea, I hope this read has challenged you. Till I write again, If you did enjoy this blog, please share to someone.

Much love! Besos!!
