Knowing Him Daily

14.May.2026

Have you ever done a trust fall? It’s a leadership exercise where you stand with your back to someone and you fall backward, trusting that they will catch you. If you’ve never done one, the first time is terrifying. You’re falling into the arms of someone you’re supposed to trust, but your instincts are screaming at you to catch yourself, to control the outcome, to not let go. For most of us, learning to trust God through these last days feels exactly like that. You’re being asked to step into authority you didn’t know you had, to operate in power that isn’t yours, to lay hands on the sick and watch them recover. And it feels impossible because it is impossible. Without Him.

Here’s something crucial that a lot of people miss. Reading the Bible and agreeing with it is not the same as believing it. That’s mental assent. You read it, you think, yes that makes sense, and then you close the book. Belief is different. Belief is when you step out and actually do what Scripture says. That’s the trust fall moment. That’s when mental agreement becomes real faith. And that’s where most people get stuck, because stepping out requires surrendering control. It requires falling backward into arms you can’t see.

Jesus said in Mark 16:18 — these signs will follow those who believe: in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. Not maybe. Not if the sick person has enough faith. They will recover. That’s an absolute. That’s not optional. It’s a done deal when you know who you are in Jesus and you walk in the authority He gave you.

You get to do what Jesus did. You get to be the instrument through which the Holy Spirit flows healing and restoration into people who are desperate, broken, at the end of their rope. Sometimes that’s laying hands on someone with a sniffle. Sometimes that’s standing at a deathbed and calling someone back to life. The size of the miracle doesn’t matter. What matters is that you know your authority and you walk in it.

But here is the caveat and it matters. You operate in the authority of the Holy Spirit, which means you follow His leading, not your own impulse. If He nudges you to lay hands, you lay hands. If He tells you not now, you wait. If the thought comes to pray for someone, that thought is from the Holy Spirit because the devil would never instruct you to do that. He would never tell you to heal someone or cast out a demon or bring someone back to faith. So you follow the nudge. You step into it. But you do it in His strength and His timing, not yours.

This is not a boring church duty. This is the privilege of living in the last days. This is what it means to run hard toward the finish line. God has given you authority and power and the opportunity to do the very things Jesus did. How excited are you about that? How ready are you to fall backward and let Him catch you?

If you have never made the choice to surrender your life to Jesus and ask Him to fill you with His Holy Spirit, today is the day. Pray this with me:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for sending Jesus to die on the Cross just for me. I admit that I have sinned, and I repent. I ask You to forgive me. I believe that He died and rose again. Right now, I make Him the Lord of my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. My sins are washed away, my past is forgiven, and my future is bright. Help me to live like the beloved that I already am in Christ. Thank you for saving me.

In Jesus name,

Amen

Make today count and see you tomorrow.
