TALITHA KOUM!

Mark 5: 21-43 / Luke 8: 40-56 Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, “Talitha Kum!” (Which translated means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”) (Mark 5:41 NASB) Gripping her (firmly) by the hand, He said to her, Talitha cumi – which translated is, Little girl, I say to you, arise (from the sleep of death)! (Mark 5:41 AMP) Little girl, ARISE! No one is exempted to the trials, sufferings, temptation, challenges and difficult situations in this world. All of us are facing the giants that seem to enjoy crushing us day after day. We all experience pain in life. Disappointments caused by people, self-disappointment, illness, financial issues, fear of the future, fear of rejection, forgiveness issues, abuse, anxiety, self-pity and whatnot; we all face those challenges. In some point in our lives, we felt like there is no hope and we are dying inside. No one is exempted. Even JESUS suffered when He was on earth. How can I arise? I am greatly blessed, overwhelmed, to realized that GOD HIMSELF came, took us by the hand (firmly) and empowered us to rise. HE who promised not to live us nor forsake us came to pull us up, HIMSELF. HE who created us came on earth to renew our lives. HE who has everything in HIS hand took the time, went down on earth, and gave us attention, loved us, saved us, healed us, restored us. GOD HIMSELF came with a great love for us. When pain is just too real and it seems like there is no hope. How can you arise? Remember, JESUS CAME. The power to arise is in JESUS! HE is our LORD our strength. HE is our LORD our defense. HE is our LORD our redeemer. HE is our LORD our King. HE is our LORD our judge. HE is our LORD our provider. HE is our LORD our sanctifier. HE is our LORD our refuge. HE is our LORD our shield. HE is our LORD our deliverer. HE is our LORD our strong tower. HE is our LORD our healer. HE is our LORD our savior. TALITHA KOUM! Little girl, I say to you, arise!
