INTRODUCTION
Our God is a God of immediacy. Throughout the Bible, we see examples of how God stepped into situations and brought instant change. The power of God is not bound by time; He can move swiftly and cause miracles to happen immediately. When the woman with the issue of blood touched Jesus, she experienced instant healing. Likewise, we serve a God who can bring about sudden turnarounds in our lives. No matter what you’re facing, God is able to intervene immediately when we approach Him with faith.
