Scripture Study-Mark 10: verses 46 through 52, “Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.” And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus. So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.
Mark chapter 10, verses 46 through 52 is a testimony of faith and fervent persistent prayer, despite what others will say. The man Bartimaeus, although he was blind, was the only one who could truly see who Jesus Christ is. This same issue falls on the body of Christ, as in having the Holy Spirit we can recognize the divine nature of Christ, the power to forgive sin and be made whole.
Persistence in prayer is another key. In a world where we look to men or politics to be the answer to our needs, we as believers know that Jesus and only Jesus is the way to escape hardship, heartache and the pain in this world. As in Matthew chapter 11 verses 28, all who are labor and heavy laden he will give them all rest, if we have the faith to believe. And lastly, to set aside the naysayers.
Romans 16 verse 17, states “Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.” Never allow others to discourage your desire to seek and find YAH for needs or questions that you have. We are His children, and as with all children we need the guidance of our guardians in times of need, Shalom…
