As we go through life seeking to feel or even experience the presence and power of the Almighty God one has to wonder where did our zeal and passion go. Lots of times we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life and forget the he is the source of our strength. Yes we go to church and attend Bible study, but something is missing in out heart and we know it. there is an emptiness that's there.
Bartimeaus was a blind beggar who knew no other life except begging, but one day he heard that one day Jesus was passing by. The same Jesus that had been healing the sick and raising the dead. The same man who had been giving sight to the blind and walking on water. Bartimeaus thought to himself that he had to get this wonderful man's attention because if anyone could change his situation then Jesus could. You see Bart was know as the son of the dirty man and that gave him his identity. He accepted that mediocre life all those years and couldn't get out of the normal hustle and bustle of life and begging.
Jesus passed by and Bart began to shout to the Lord, The church folk told him be quiet, it don't take all of that to praise God, you don't have to lift your hands like that, you don't have to jump and shout like that, but Bart thought to himself I've got to get his attention to so that he can heal my body and set my soul free.
The thing about us today when we are stuck in a rut is we forget how to praise God in the bad times as well as the good. God inhabits the very praises of his people so he lives there and he will bring healing to you and your situation. Bart was called by Jesus and healed and Bart followed Jesus, we can't forget to Praise Him to bring him near and he will hear our petitions there after. This is Pastor O saying that we don't have to fight for the Victory we can fight from our place of Victory because the Victory is already ours!!!!
