Today's Word 12-04-25 When Obedience Unlocks the Miracle · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

  Speaker 1: Nobody doesn't like your early what in praise party, I
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: am your girl, Sherry Mackie and his time right now
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: for today's word. When obedience unlocks the miracle. When obedience
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: unlocks the miracle. Second Kings five thirteen through fourteen says, Sir,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: if the prophet had told you to do something very difficult, wouldn't.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: You have done it?
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: So you should certainly obey him when he says, simply
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: go and wash and be cured. So Naman went down
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to the Jordan river and dipped himself seven times as
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a man of God had instructed, and his skin became
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: as healthy as the skin of a young child, and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: he was healed. You know, there are moments in our
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: walk with God when the instructions are so simple, yet
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the obedience feels really hard. Name and a respect to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: command with influence and power, was accustomed to operating from
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a place of strength. Yet when he sought healing from
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the prophety Elisha, the answer he received did not match
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the level of prestige he carried. Elijah didn't come out
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and greet him, he didn't lay hands on him, he
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: didn't speak an elaborate blessing over him. Instead, he sent
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a messenger with a simple command, go wash in the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Jordans seven times, and you will be healed.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Name and became offended.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Surely God's instruction should have looked more significant, more ceremonial,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: more worthy of a man of his statue. But the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: miracle wasn't attached to name and status.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: It was attached to his obedience.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: What Naman almost missed, and what many of us missed today,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: is that obedience is often the bridge between where we
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: are and where God wants to take us. Sometimes the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: instructions God gives us don't make sense. Sometimes they actually
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: feel beneath us, beyond us, or just inconvenient. Sometimes they
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: offend our logic, disrupt our pride, or challenge our comfort.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: But God uses simple steps of obedience to unlock supernatural outcomes.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Naman didn't dip in the river with great faith. He
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: didn't go rejoice, and he went reluctantly. He went frustrated
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and doubtful. Yet he's still obeyed, and on that seventh
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: dip the miracle manifested.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: The water was in special.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: The jordan Din whole healing power. The breakthrough was in
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the obedience. Perhaps God has given you a Jordan River moment.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe he's nudging you to forgive again, maybe to give again,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: or to pray again, to show up again, or to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: try again. Though it feels repetitive and you haven't seen
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: change yet, you got to do what God has called
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you to do. What if your breakthrough is attached to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: that seventh time? What if your miracle is waiting beyond
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the obedience you've been resisting. Obedience doesn't earn God's blessing,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: it positions you for it. When you honor God in
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the small things, he releases big things in your life.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: When you trust him beyond your understanding, he shows himself faithful,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: beyond your expectation.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: So keep dipping, keep obeing.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: You may be one step away from seeing God do
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: what only he can do.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Father, thank you.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: That you are the true, in living God, and that
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you reward those.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Who honor and obey you.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you that you notice our obedience and it doesn't
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: earn your blessing, but it does make room for your
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: favor and a flow. Help us to trust your instructions
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: even when they don't make sense. God, we believe that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: as we continue to do what is right, you'll meet
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: us in the place of obedience with breakthrough and blessings
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: in Jesus' name. That's your word for today, Take it
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: applied to your everyday life, and continue to be inspired.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie.
