The True Miracle Blocker

“Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” They were offended at him. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house.” He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people, and healed them. He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.” (Mark‬ ‭6:3-6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The people of Nazareth were so focused on what they knew and saw with their five senses. They walked by sight. It was easy to fall into this trap because they saw little Jesus growing up right there, seemingly ordinary, and His parents were just normal, honest folk.

Granted, Jesus would have been smarter and more well-behaved than His peers, but the townsfolk would never imagine that this boy was actually their long-awaited Messiah and the actual Son of God.

Truth is spiritually discerned. When you rely on your fleshly brain and the five senses, you may miss out on what God is trying to show you by the Spirit.

Have you ever experienced a moment where you mind and your spirit were at loggerheads? Your brain is telling you that it is a good decision and that everything looks so right, but you just have this bad feeling in your gut that says something is wrong. I experienced this many times and I’m thankful that I listened to the spirit on most of these occurrences. It saved me from suffering unnecessary losses and pain.

It is not that Jesus had no power to heal or do miracles in Nazareth. God’s power was always flowing out of Him like mighty rivers, but the Nazarenes rejected the supply because of unbelief. No matter how much water is available in the storage reservoir, you will not get any if you refuse to turn on the tap.

Those few sick people in Nazareth discerned spiritually that Jesus is the Christ, perhaps because they had an urgent need. Their minds were open to seeing possibilities—they wanted to believe that Jesus could heal them.

The sick people were definitely not perfect practitioners of the Law of Moses. They were able to receive healing simply because they believed.

Today, it is not sin that is preventing you from receiving miracles or healing. It is unbelief.

Yes, indulging in habitual sin can be a major hindrance to faith because it produces self-condemnation and thus unbelief. But it is not the sin that is blocking your miracle or healing.

Jesus did not heal anyone who was perfect in their works. None of those who were healed by Him kept the Ten Commandments perfectly.

If being perfect was a criteria to receiving healing, then no one would have been healed when they touched Jesus. Yet, the multitudes who touched Jesus freely received healing simply because they believed they would be healed.

Today, if you really want to be set free from sickness, or if you need a miracle, choose to look beyond the outward circumstances, and let go of self-condemnation which is a form of self-righteousness.

See a good God who is freely dispensing His grace (undeserved favor and kindness) because the blood of Christ paid for it. Your sins were punished at the cross—Jesus took the punishment so that you would not have to. God is righteous in being gracious to you because Jesus’ blood is an overpayment for the sin debt of the whole world, and there is much more credit to be tapped on!

When Ohagi is busy grooming herself, she doesn't care about what is happening around her. A black cat's staring close behind her, and suddenly cats siblings are fighting each other; however, those occurrences are nothing in her eyes. More than that, she loves her beauty. She never forgets to takes care of her skin correctly and doesn't get fazed by anything.
毛づくろいで忙しい猫のおはぎちゃんは、周りで起きている事など知らん顔。すぐ背後で黒猫ちゃんが凝視しようが、兄妹喧嘩が勃発しようが、全く気にかけていないようです。それよりも関心が向くのは、己の「美」。常に手入れを怠らず、何にも動揺せずに邁進しています。

He no longer dreamed of storms, nor of women, nor of great occurrences, nor of great fish, nor fights, nor contests of strength, nor of his wife. He only dreamed of places now and of lions on the beach.
– Ernest Hemingway in The Old Man and the Sea 老人與海. 海明威，

菲利普博士在他的書中，寫到海明威的<老人與海>。他似乎就是那個拋開一切，只專注在獅子的老人🦁️
書中描述的情節，是海明威的童年記憶，更確確實實是菲利普博士的實際經歷，並且為此，奉獻一生。
這張了不起的照片，正是博士所拍攝。📷#photobyDrPhilipStander

在海邊看到獅子，多麼令人驚奇的事呀😬

海明威也只能透過老人的夢境回溯，而我們透過博士的鏡頭，看到真真實實的影像!

謝謝博士為了地球物種，一生懸命! ❤️

Everyone must have had thoughts like these before:
Broccoli and parsley may sometimes look like a forest of trees, and tree leaves floating on the surface of water may sometimes look like little boats. Everyday occurrences seen from a miniature
perspective can bring us lots of fun thoughts.
I wanted to take this way of thinking and express it through photographs, so I started to put together a “MINIATURE CALENDAR.” These photographs primarily depict diorama-style figures surrounded by
daily necessities.
Just like a standard daily calendar, the photos are updated daily on my website and SNS page, earning it the name of “MINIATURE CALENDAR.”

It would be great if you could use it to add a little enjoyment to your everyday life.

In recent times we’ve come to the consensus that being a strong, independent woman in Singapore’s society is more widely accepted. However, what is blanketed beneath the surface still lies a lot of misogyny and inappropriate treatment towards women in the workplace. The Thirsty Sisters shed light on this problem by recounting occurrences they have experienced and stories from their friends around them. It’s 2020 already, we need to do better.
