Mark 5:41-42 He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!"). Immediately the girl stood up and walked around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
This story is really starting to get good. Are you seeing the prophetic implications with the church today and Jairus' daugther? Here are couple of things to remember: 1. Seek Jesus, Fall at His Feet, and Pray; 2. Ignore what is going on around us and don't be afraid, but believe; 3. Don't pay attention to the enemy laughing at you because it is time to Wake Up!
In bringing our story up to the moment, Jesus just got done removing all the unbelievers in Jairus' home. He then took a few of his trusted disciples and the girl's mother and father into her room where she was "sleeping." Jesus grabbed the little girl by the hand and said, "Talitha Koum" which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!" Can you imagine what Jairus and his wife were experiencing in that moment. What were the diciples thinking? This was the first time Jesus had raised someone from the dead! I love what the Scripture says: "At this they were completely astonished." Kind of sums it up, doesn't it? What about the girl? Sometimes I wish God's Word gave us a few more details. Like what did she do when she woke up? How did she react? And what will the church do when we wake up?
I am praying for God's girl, His church, to wake up, stand up, and begin to walk around in the authority and power He has given to us! I am ready for God to breathe those words, "Talitha Koum" into the life of the church. What are you praying for? Will you agree with me in prayer for these things to take place? Can we believe that His Church will wake up?
APPLICATION TO MY LIFE
1. Why did Jesus remove the unbelievers?
2. What does Talitha Koum mean for the church?
3. How will the church react when we wake up?
4. Are you still praying? Why or why not?
