It is Not Over Yet

But what to do when we come to a stage in life where nothing seems to work? Maybe you've "tried everything", or almost anything to change this situation and now what to do? What is the best option? Giving up and be one more defeated and failed person in this world? Or fight until the end? Because it is not the end yet... Take a look at the news that a man brought to Jairus and see what the Lord Jesus replied. (Luke 8:49-53) “While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler."Your daughter is dead," he said. "Don't bother the teacher anymore" In other words the man said to Jairus: No way, your daughter is dead. It’s over,don’t bother Jesus any more… And we can see that it is exactly what the evil wants you to think, the evil wants you to think that it’s over, your life is over, your marriage is over, your dreams are all over, finished! NO WAY!!

But look what the Lord Jesus did when HE heard that bad news “Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed." Jesus knew that the secret to overcome the bad news and all the obstacles of life is “Faith”. When He said don’t be afraid, just believe, He was saying in other words: Jairus you know what? It’s not over yet… Don’t listen to them, even though I know that when a bad news comes usually people fear, but Jesus was encouraging Jairus… “Don’t believe in what you are listening from this man, ignore it, and your daughter will be healed, ignore it and your problem will be solved…

In other words Jairus, look with the eyes of faith. When He arrived at the house of Jairus, He did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child's father and mother. Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her. "Stop wailing," Jesus said. "She is not dead but asleep." They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. But he took her by the hand and said, "My child, get up!" Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up…”

The little girl was really dead but she got healed just as Jesus said. Why? Because He was looking at that problem not as a problem, He was seen already the end of it, He was seen the solution to that problem. Jesus said to them: “Stop wailing, she is not dead.” The Lord Jesus was not looking at that situation as it was… He was looking with the Eyes of Faith, the TRUE FAITH that makes us see what our physical eyes cannot see.

My dear reader, you can see a way out when you use your faith, you can see a solution to any problem that you are facing no matter how BIG your problems are. Just look with the EYES OF FAITH, see the solution for this problem, and look for it.

I can say to you right now “Stop crying” even if your life and everything around is upside down, IT IS NOT OVER YET. The end of this situation that you are facing will be amazing. Don’t lose hope; don’t ever give up your dreams and faith. Because your life is not over.

Be blessed!

How many are the moments of your life that you are faced with situations that are so bad? And how many people even try to kill themselves and many others have even taken their lives away because of the problems? The question is: Why? Why do these things happen? It is simply because we live in a world where we are bombarded with bad news. Perhaps many people say to you: You will not overcome, you will fail, do not open this business because of the crisis, your life is useless, your husband is a bad person, it is better for you to get divorced, you will end up dying because this disease has no cure, there is no more way for you… And so on, the list of negative words and voices is really long.
