Iman yang besar

Iman yang besar
PS Deddy Santoso - IR 16Okt11

Bacaan: Mat 15:21-28
Ay.28 Maka Yesus menjawab dan berkata kepadanya: " Hai ibu, besar imanmu, maka jadilah kepadamu seperti yang kaukehendaki. " Dan seketika itu juga anaknya sembuh.

Yesus pergi kedaerah Libanon (tirus dan sidon) krn kondisi di Israel sdg panas.

Yesus bertemu dg seorang perempuan kanaan, orang non yahudi (orang kafir, bkn orang israel),

Ciri-ciri iman yg kuat:

1. Datang kepada YESUS

2. Berseru ("Kasihanilah aku ya Tuhan anak Daud"), ay.22
- (walau tdk dicatat) Pasti ada pembawa kabar baik kpd perempuan kanaan
- Respon Yesus: 1. Yesus sama sekali tdk menjawabnya

3. Respon yang benar, tidak menyerah!! "Datang dan Menyembah"
- Respon Yesus 2. Yesus menjawab: "Aku diutus hanya kpd domba yg hilang dr umat Israel"
- Reaksi Perempuan yg ke 2; Perempuan itu mendekat dan menyembah Dia sambil berkata: "Tuhan tolonglah aku" ay.25
Dengan kata lain, semakin ditolak semakin besar imannya.
- Respon Yesus menjawab ay.26: "Tidak patut mengambil roti yg disediakan bagi anak anak dan melemparkannya kpd anjing"
- Reaksi perempuan yg ke 3: perempuan itu tersungkur "Benar Tuhan, namun anjing itu makan remah2 yang jatuh dari meja tuannya"

4. Rendahkan hati dan sadar anugerah Allah yg besar.
- ay.28 Yesus menjawab dan berkata kepadanya: "Hai ibu, besar imanmu, maka jadilah kepadamu seperti yang kau kehendaki." Dan seketika itu juga anaknya sembuh.

Apa motivasi kita datang kepada Tuhan? Akar persoalan ada di dalam hati kita.

Banyak orang percaya hanya membersihkan masalah hanya pada level "Daud" tidak sampai kedalam akar (hati).

- Jangan RAKUS (Amsal 23:7a)
Sebab seperti orang yang membuat perhitungan dalam dirinya sendiri demikianlah ia. " Silakan makan dan minum, " katanya kepadamu, tetapi ia tidak tulus hati terhadapmu.

(KJV)
"For as he thinketh in his heart"

Now more than ever before we need to press into hearing what the Spirit of the Lord is saying today. We need to know Him. This manual will help you in your journey of intimacy with the Lord and bring you to greater understanding of the commands in Scripture to encourage one another. I often will say as I instruct ones in the prophetic that all of the gifts of the Spirit flow through the prophetic. Being a prophetic person is one who is able to hear from God. We all hear from God to a certain extent. The sons of Issachar had understanding of the times and they knew what to do. Having understanding of the times is equal to having words of wisdom, words of knowledge, and discernment flowing through you. If we can hear God's voice then we can hear words of wisdom. If we can hear God's voice then we can hear words of knowledge. If we can hear God's voice we can have discernment. If we can hear God's voice we can have faith to declare those things that are not as though they are. If we can hear God's voice then all of the Gifts of the Spirit will flow through us. More than ever before we need to understand that in the last days, as prophesied by Joel and repeated by Peter, there will be widespread revelations from God. We will not receive revelations from God if we do not hear His voice. God speaks in a variety of ways. The most basic avenues God speaks to us are through the Bible, prayer, people, nature, dreams, and an inner sense of knowing something. Certainly and most definitely we have entered such an occasion. God is speaking today. It behooves all believers to embark on this most exciting journey of learning to hear God?s voice in as many possible ways as God is speaking.
