Day 13 - Reading the New Testament in one year.
Matthew 9:18-38
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman
18 While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.” 19 Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples. 20 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” 22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment. 23 When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes, 24 he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him. 25 After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up. 26 News of this spread through all that region.
Jesus Heals the Blind and the Mute
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” 28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”“Yes, Lord,” they replied.
29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; 30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” 31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.
32 While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus. 33 And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”34 But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons.”
The Workers Are Few
35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

"But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him." 1 Corinthians 6:17 (NASV)
The secret of Christ becoming everything to us is found in this mingled spirit, where the two spirits have become one. Our wonderful Christ, who is our relationship with everything, is dwelling in our spirit. Like the other parts of our being, our spirit is subject to us (1 Cor. 14:32). When we realize that exercising our spirit is as simple as squeezing our hand, it will revolutionize our daily life. We can enjoy Christ anytime, in any place, and under any condition. Joining ourselves to the Lord, the Spirit (2 Cor. 3:18), to be one spirit with Him, activates a oneness in which the integrity of the two spirits and the distinction between them is still preserved (Rom. 8:16). When we know the address of Christ in us and learn to abide with Him in that place (John 15:4- 5), we can consistently experience the unsearchable riches of Christ in our daily life. There is no need to wait for a "mountain- top" experience. Years ago when I went to retreats, I would always feel close to God in the atmosphere of the mountains and big trees. Then a few days later, after returning home, I would wonder what happened to those feelings. I would try to imagine how to recapture that mountain- top atmosphere in order to be close to the Lord. But one day I discovered the address of Christ in me. I saw from the Word that Christ is dwelling in my spirit; and from that time forth, I began to experience Him in a way that I had never known was possible.
