The royal official said, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
Jesus replied, "You may go. Your son will live." The man took Jesus at his word and departed.
(John 4:49-50 - NIV)
In this passage we read about a man who requested Jesus healing power while in Galilee. He heard Jesus has just arrived and needed his son to be healed who was closed to death. At the request, Jesus told him to go because his son was healed. The official did not debate whether or not it actually happened, nor did he insist Jesus enter his home to see his son. He took Jesus at His word and the report came back the son was healed the moment Christ spoke.
How many things has God spoken into our lives that we just need to take His word for. Too many times we need to see mountains moved, or sky open up, or the sea part into two for us to acknowledge the workings of God. I have found that as soon as a question arises in our spirit, the answer is there as well. It is our journey to find the answer and apply it. Once we make our request, depart the throne and embrace the blessing He spoke over you.
Yes God can come down and intercede on every matter, but we must prove ourselves worthy through our faith. If we can not understand His working in the small, we will not appreciate His work on a larger scale. He has spoken healing over your life and the life of your loved ones. Take His word for it, trust His wisdom and lean on His own understanding and go back and live your life. Do not rest on the hurt, be motivated by the healing. God wishes to do extravagant wonders in your life, but you will never see them if you cannot learn to appreciate the small, simple everyday blessings. Be bold in asking for blessings and be bold in believing it has already came to pass.
