When Faith Doesn't Make Sense


Isaiah 56:7 (NKJV) ...For My (God's) house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”



Lord, make our places of worship Houses of Prayer which manifest your presence. 





When our prayers go up, Lord, send your  miracles down.  




Acts 4:30 (TLB)
and send your healing power, and may miracles and wonders be done by the name of your holy servant Jesus.”



Lord, we trust everything you do.  


Here' a story about a man who trusted in God, and refused to doubt Him. 




Mark 5:35-43 The Message (MSG)
35 While he, Jesus, was still talking, some people came from the leader’s house (Jarius) and told him, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?

36 Jesus overheard what they were talking about and said to the leader, 


“Don’t listen to them; just trust me.”



If we want a miracle, we must tune out doubt and unbelief, and tune in the faithfulness of our God.  



37-40 He (Jesus) permitted no one to go in with him except Peter, James, and John. 


They entered the leader’s house and pushed their way through the gossips looking for a story and neighbors bringing in casseroles. 


Jesus was abrupt: “Why all this busybody grief and gossip? This child isn’t dead; she’s sleeping.” 


Provoked to sarcasm, they told him he didn’t know what he was talking about.


To experience a miracle, we must remove people of doubt and unbelief, and...


surround ourselves with people who will believe with us for a miracle.  


Faith prepares for Jesus to move and for people to see more clearly.  




40-43 But when he (Jesus) had sent them all out, he took the child’s father and mother, along with his companions, and entered the child’s room. 


He clasped the girl’s hand and said, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, get up.” 


At that, she was up and walking around!


This girl was twelve years of age.


 They, of course, were all beside themselves with joy. 



Your manifest presence that's what we need, Lord.  



Your faith in Him that's what God's needs to produce your miracle. 



Your faith in God produces God's miracles.  



Faith doesn't make sense, but it does create miracles.  



Some things that God does and says are so personal.  



You need to keep it between you and God.  



He (Jesus) gave them strict orders that no one was to know what had taken place in that room.
