439 The Daughter of Jairus 20 February 2000 Was thy daughter dead as in Mark chapter five is read For Jesus said in leave be not afraid, only believe The damsel is not dead but sleepeth the scripture said Taking hold of her hand He hinted to Talitha she can Damsel, I say unto thee, arise to each on lookers surprise Instantly she arose and walked of this twelve year old people talked Thus came the Saviours warning and no need for mourning To command she should eat while He had others to greet “While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead; why troublest thou the Master any further? As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.” Mark 5: 35-36 KJV “While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. But when Jesus heard it, he answered him saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.” Luke 8: 49-50 KJV a poet who cares |

I really loved the way you kept the wording in the king James version style. This is my favourite miracle that Jesus performed because I was sick and near death when I was a kid and He eventually opened a door to heal me. I really liked this poem and the way you went about writing it. Great work. Keep it up. Sheri Adams Jesus lives in my heart! He can in yours too!!! |

This is my favourite miracle of Jesus. When I was young I was very sick with epilepsy having roughly 5-20 seizures every day. I often closed my eyes pretending to be Talitha. One day, when surgery was an option, I felt His hand in mine, basically saying the same thing, that I would rise and be healed. And I have been without seizures for 16 years now. Awesome poem. Loved it a lot. Sheri Adams Jesus lives in my heart! He can in yours too!!! |

many years ago, in the 1930's , a young American man was going on a journey, to teach about his love of Christ, in England before he left, has father gave him a card with five words written on it "Be not afraid, only believe" Today that man is an old man, and he is the leader of the 4th largest church in the United States of America. Although he was born in 1910. The church has 15 million members worldwide and nowadays just under half live in the USA. This story of the Bible I wrote about is special to me, and was a scripture I truly wanted to write about. Next to Luke 24: 16 , this is my second psalm I ever composed directly connected with a passage in the Holy Bible My works relating to Luke 24: 26 , I believe I posted in another thread here a poet who cares |
