The GoGospel by Keith Cook
"And Jesus said to him, "Go; your faith has made you well." Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road." Mark 10:52
In the book of Mark over 40 times the expression "straightway or immediately" is used. Mark is a real action oriented book of the Bible. Mark was writing, under the direction of the Holy Spirit, to the Roman thinker, or culture. In the book of Matthew Jesus is portrayed speaking and suffering, but Mark highlights Jesus actions and power.
Jesus is shown by Mark as being Mightier than the mightiest human (John the Baptist). Jesus identified with the culture but also defeated the cultural norms. Nothing could hold him back or slow Him down in doing God's will - not nature, not culture, not demons, nothing!
He was baptized by the Holy Spirit. He had supernatural energy. He had the power to defeat hell, death, and the grave. His human body was not bound by the limits of a mortal body because it was full also of the Holy Spirit. No sin, no worldly nature, no penalty of disobedience, just a real live Spirit Man!
Not only was Jesus mighty in power and baptized in the Spirit, He also constantly pleased the Father and was led by the Spirit. He never acted independent from His father or walked in His own strength.
What about you?
1. You need to immediately follow Christ. Whatever He is leading you to do - you must do! Do not hesitate to answer His call and leading.
2. Make sure you are pleasing God in every area of your life. Do not leave any part of your life out of God's care and protection. Give Him the secret things, the personal places, the fear infested domains. He can heal, forgive, lead, and provide for everything in your life.
3. Make sure you are willing to be led of the Spirit. You can not make your journey of faith alone or in your own strength. You need Supernatural direction and help. Jesus will lead you and take you down many paths you do not know or are prepared for - yet He will use you and make you into a Spiritual force that honors and glorifies the Father.
You can immediately be used of God if you will immediately begin to follow Him, please Him, and be lead by Him.
