SCRIPTURE READING: MARK 10: 46-52
FOCUS: “And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.” (Mark 10: 46)
MEMORY VERSE: “He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.” (Job 28: 3)
Our Focal Scripture makes mention of blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus. Bartimaeus was blind, and it soon became the reference point in his life. What he suffered became the easiest way to describe him. What he suffered became the new way to identify him. What he suffered seemed to overshadow his true identity. Blindness lingered in his life for so long that people simply added it to his name.
Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: negativity will not be added to your name. Affliction will not be added to your name. Your struggles will not be added to your name. What you have suffered for a while will not be added to your name. Sickness will not be added to your name. Lack will not be added to your name. Your negative condition will not become your identity. Your negative experiences will not overshadow your identity.
Jesus eventually showed up, and healed Bartimaeus. Jesus showed up, and removed blindness from his life. I pray for you: every negativity that has become your identity, I decree, let there be divine intervention. Let the Lord arise and roll away everything the enemy put on you like a garment. Let the Lord arise and strip you of the struggles you have battled with. Let the Lord arise and cleanse you from negativity.
Jesus did not go to the cross so that you can wear negativity like a garment. Jesus did not pay the price so that you can be called by the name of sickness and disease. Jesus paid so that nothing from the enemy will tag along with you needlessly. If it is not of God, reject it, resist it, and command it to get out of your life. If Jesus did not plant it in you, then uproot it before it yields and births more negativity in and around you.
The end of negativity has come in your life. El Roi has set an end to darkness. No longer shall it be said that you were identified by any negativity.
