Mark 6:4-6
But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country,
among his own relatives, and in his own house." Now He could do no mighty work there,
except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.
And He marveled because of their unbelief.
Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.
Many times, those in your own household are the ones who persecute you the most for My sake. I could only do a few miracles in My own hometown because of the doubt and unbelief. People could not get past the fact "I was the carpenter's son." That was true, but the enemy blinded them to the fact I was also God's Son!
Their doubt and unyielding will created a wall between them and their miracle!
The enemy often uses those you love the most to bring discouragement, knowing they have the potential to make the greatest impact on your life.
You can't fix your family, but I can! You need to surrender and trust Me with your loved ones. I hear the petitions of your heart on their behalf and I keep them in golden bowls next to My heart. Not one prayer goes unheard; however, don't allow their words of doubt and discouragement stop you from pursuing your destiny in Me.
I did not succumb to the enemy's attempts to stifle My destiny and Kingdom mission, but I went forward into neighboring villages preaching and teaching My Kingdom message. Ultimately, the entire world, including you, have been touched and transformed.
Time is short and I need you to position yourself where My Spirit instructs. You are vitally important in this next Kingdom move. My miracle working power is ready to explode from you to the multitudes I'm sending your way.
Will you obey man or Me?
It's time to go out and find your village to save!
Lord Jesus, Your Word is very clear that we are to have no other gods before You. Forgive me for unknowingly placing my family ahead of my relationship with You. This is a form of idolatry and I repent. Lord, I want nothing to stand between our relationship and I don't want to be the one who stands in the way of how You reach my family. I love them dearly, but I know You love them more. I choose to step out of the way so You can have Your way with them. In the meantime, I'm going forward into my destiny. I make no apologies for who You created me to be. I praise You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Watch out world....here I come!
