TOPIC: Act On What You Hear (TREM Devotional 24 October 2025)
“When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.” – Mark 5:27 (KJV)
MESSAGE
Beloved, there are many voices speaking in our world today; voices of fear, doubt, and confusion. But the secret of true success and victory lies in your ability to hear the voice of God, discern it amidst the noise, and act on what you hear.
The woman with the issue of blood didn’t just hear about Jesus; she acted on what she heard. She heard that Jesus heals the sick. That word stirred faith within her heart. When she saw the great crowd surrounding Him, she realized it would not be easy to get His attention. Yet she didn’t allow the obstacle to stop her. She found a way, she pressed through the crowd and touched the hem of His garment, saying within herself, “If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.” (Mark 5:28).
Beloved, hearing God’s Word is not enough; you must act on what you hear. Faith without action is dead. (James 2:26). Every time God speaks, He gives direction for your advancement. Even when times are dark and uncertain, God is still speaking. Your focus should not be on what the devil is doing but on what God is saying.
Remember, the scriptures must be fulfilled. The world may get darker, but for the believer, light shines brighter. God desires to reveal things to you, to speak into your future and give you divine clues ahead of time.
So, believe God! He doesn’t give His Word as mere religious sayings. His Word is your anchor and your guide. It gives you something solid to hold on to when the world is shaking. Yes, things may be difficult around you, but they are all working together for His glory and for your good.
He has declared this your year of REST, but what are you doing with what you have heard? The woman heard and acted. What she heard gave her spiritual energy, and she arose in faith.
I challenge you today: Rise up in the power of the Word you’ve received. Act on it boldly. As you do, no power of darkness will be able to stop your miracle.
