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. Mark 10. 49-50 Many times it is not understood the reason of not living a life of success and victories that is written in the word of God though we believe in the promises of God. Many do not exercise their faith and authority as they did in the past.
Why has faith not worked in the life of many Christians and principally in the life of many who have served God? Has God changed? Is His word no longer the same? God is the same and His words have not changed. What has really changed is the way people have lived their lives in this world.
They stopped to obey what is written. As a matter of fact, many have been contaminated with filth of this world, grudges, doubts, evil thoughts and many other things that have prevented those who serve God from acting their faith and use the authority that one day they received from God through the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
For this reason, many are down and on the brink of the abyss. When the Lord Jesus sent someone to bring the blind man to Him, the first thing he did was to throw that old and dirty garment away, he stood up and acted his faith. To throw the garment away means, to remove the doubts, fears, worries, impurities of soul and heart, and thus be able to act with faith, authority and take possession of the greatness of God.
You have the authority of God inside of you, do not allow it to be neutralized by the snares of the devil.
