Spiritual Fog

Matthew 9:4

4Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, "Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?

Jesus had gone into Capernaum where some men had brought a friend who was a paralytic on a mat. Jesus immediately looked at the man and told him his sins were forgiven. There were teachers of the law present and they believed Jesus to be blaspheming. In their minds, no one had the ability to forgive sins but God. Unfortunately, they refused to see that they were in the company of the Son of God. Jesus, who was spirit and existed with God when the world was created, had every right to forgive sins. But again, the teachers of the law had no idea who they were in the company of. Jesus continued to show the power He had been entrusted with by our heavenly Father. How so? He revealed that he knew their thoughts. Jesus clearly displayed the power and authority He possessed by forgiving sins, revealing thoughts and then telling the paralytic to walk and he did. Now if someone pronounced what you were thinking without you opening your mouth should that not be enough? But then to see a man get up and walk who just minutes before was bedridden is indeed a miracle. To deny that one witnessed a miracle is denying God and who He is.

Have you ever denied God's power and authority? Has the Lord ever showed you a miracle yet as the teachers of the law you attempted to explain away, reason away and flat out question it? What you may not realize is that everyone at one point in time has questioned God's ability whether it was through frank unbelief or even doubt because you could not see your way clear of a situation. Many of us have not been that far off from those teachers of the law or may even be still there. You can be in the presence of the Holy One yet still suffer from unbelief due to spiritual fog. Whatever fog you may be in, may be it made clear to you by the power and authority of Jesus Christ
