Which Is Easier To Say?

We always want a miracle .
We want instant healing, success and good things
to happen in our lives.

That's why we pray.

But when God seems so distant and we feel that He has been
ignoring our prayers, our faith level starts to drop.

Questions like, Does God really exist?
Or Does God hate me? blah blah blah!

Then , we end up complaining to a lot of stuffs.

In the natural, that's how we are.

Part of being human.

But as you start to believe in God, not by sight or by miracles
that you seen and heard,

BUT BY FAITH..no matter what.

Everything will come into place and things around you will start to change
according to His plan.

You just need to get a little patient with it.

Impatient. -> also part of being human. And I call it "ugly" and
deteriorating to one's health if it exists for so long inside us.
It sucks our soul which prompts us to do things on our own effort then
we screwd up!

I do have a lot of prayers
and I want a lot of things to happen in my life right now.

And I do get a little so impatient sometimes.

Nudging Him everytime.

Well, that's me.

In time, I know He will change me.

For now, as I wait for His approvals and go signals.

I will keep myself in His Words.

Whether I have experienced the manifestations or not.

...because I know His promises are true.

Which Is Easier To Say?


Colossians 2:13
13And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

Let me ask you a question which Jesus asked the Pharisees: “Which is easier, to say [to the paralytic], ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk’?” (Luke 5:23)

In the context of ministering to a paralytic, saying “Your sins are forgiven” is probably easier. Why? Because you don’t need an outward manifestation to prove that his sins are forgiven. But when you tell him, “Rise up and walk,” he must rise up and walk, or you will look very foolish! So that makes saying “Your sins are forgiven” easier than saying “Rise up and walk”.

The truth is, what is seemingly more difficult for man in the natural is not so for God. With God, physical healing is clearly “easier” for Him than forgiveness of sins. The latter is the “harder” and greater miracle because it required God to deliver up His beloved Son to take on all our sins and shed His blood on the cross.

Yet, when faced with a loved one stricken with cancer, or when gripped by mounting debts after being jobless for a long time, we seem to find it harder to believe and say that God has already given us the breakthroughs we need, than to believe and say that our sins are forgiven. Saying that our sins are forgiven seems easier than saying that God has already given us the miraculous physical healing, supernatural financial breakthrough or divine favor at the next job interview.

But since God has done the “harder” and greater miracle of “having forgiven you all trespasses”, there is nothing He will not do for you! (Romans 8:32) In fact, if you think that there is something that God is withholding from you, you are implying that that something is greater than the forgiveness of sins which Jesus died to give you! But nothing can be greater than the perfect sacrifice of Jesus.

So hear the Lord telling you today, “Your sins have been forgiven you. You have perfect acceptance before God. Rise up and be healed! Rise up and walk in health, wisdom, favor, protection and wholeness!”
