To do works of Jesus Christ is as easy as saying it. Consider with me the following Bible passage.
Luke 5:17-26 KJV
And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
[18] And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
[19] And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.
[20] And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
[21] And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
[22] But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
[23] Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
[24] But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
[25] And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
[26] And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
The word “Whether”(vs.23) is from the Greek ’tis’, an emphatic interogative pronoun; and is properly rendered as “which”
Hence Jesus was saying “which is easier to say”; … showing that forgiving the man’s sins or healing him of his condition was as easy as saying it.
Though both the power to heal(vs 17) and the power to forgive sins(vs.24) were mentioned as present, neither the forgiveness of the man’s sins, nor the healing of his condition happened until they were spoken out.
How hard is it to work a miracle?
As hard as it is to say it in His name.
How easy is it to cause a healing?
As easy as it is to say it in His name.
Pastor, what about faith?
Dont bother about it, you are a believer;
You wont be a believer if you dont have faith.
The issue is not about believing,
You already do. In fact It is what you do best,
You are a believer!
The issue is not doubting,
Not doubting what you have said.
And you shall have whatsoever you say.
It is as easy as saying it!
Halleluia!
