Four important reasons to DO SOMETHING
Doing is more important than knowing.
When I “do,” I move forward.
I would rather see a person do something with less knowledge than know everything and do nothing.
Faith is an ACT. If you are sitting around waiting for God to do something, you may be waiting a long time.
Here are some Biblical reasons to do something and not just learn more:
Jesus told people to move before they saw.
Christ told the ten lepers to “go show yourselves to the priest.” This was necessary when a person with leprosy was cleansed.
The only problem was that they were still lepers
“As they WENT, they were cleansed.” (Luke 17: 14)
They began moving toward their miracle, and they received it.
2. Movement showed faith in Christ.
The four friends of the paralyzed man cut a hole in the roof and lowered him down before Jesus.
Jesus “saw their faith” (Luke 5:20). They didn’t take “No” for an answer. They couldn’t get in the door, so they took off the roof!
DO something. Demonstrate your tenacious spirit. The miracle often meets you at the point of your action.
3. Start doing what you have not been able to do.
Stop accepting limitations. Satan will remind you forever of things you can no longer do.
“You’re too old and old people can’t do that.”
“You will never have the money to do that.”
“You’re uncoordinated.” “You’re not educated enough to try that.” “Now that you are sick, you can’t possibly do that.”
DO IT ANYWAY.
Don’t tap on the door and give up. Barge through the door.
Act as if it has already been done in the spirit world.
4. Nothing is impossible to you.
“For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU” (Mt. 17: 20).
Jesus did not say, “Nothing is impossible for Me” (though it is). He said, “Nothing is impossible for YOU.”
Start telling your mountain to move, “and it will move.”
When you move your words, the mountain will be “re-moved.”
I have had first-hand experience with “moving.”
In November of 2023, my doctor told me to “call hospice.” I was dying with three blood diseases, navigating on a walker.
My son was moving to Huntsville, Alabama, and was saying goodbye to us. The Lord spoke to me very clearly, telling me to go with him to move.
The next morning, I left my walker behind and was helped into the massive moving truck. By the time we reached Huntsville, I was feeling stronger.
The next morning, I helped him move articles into the house. When I returned home, I never used the walker again. Now, I walk around 1.5 miles every morning.
God has done a fantastic work in my body as I moved.
Start moving.
As small as it may seem, start moving.
God moves when we are moving.
DO something.
That may be all the Lord is waiting to see.
