Do you trust me? That’s the question Jesus seems to be asking me lately. The quick answer is “yes, of course I do.” But how does my trusting Jesus show up in my life? Will I speak to those he leads me to or pray for those he places on my heart? Will I pick up the phone and call the person he has brought to mind repeatedly? Will I ask people if I can pray for their healing when I feel prompted to do so by the Holy Spirit? Do I really trust him?
Last night I was visiting a friend in Seattle who was teaching a seminary preaching class. Towards the end of the class he interviewed me and asked if I would help him pray for all the students. I gladly agreed and as I prayed felt the Spirit giving me specific prophetic words for some of these students. They didn’t know me at all. Yet trusting Jesus meant stepping out in faith and praying out God’s words for them. If I didn’t trust Jesus they would miss out–and I would miss out. Are you missing out? I know I often do when I’m afraid to trust.
