THE STORY OF JESUS: Mark 9:14-24
“Everything is possible for one who believes.” (Mark 9:23)
Is this ACTUALLY true, can believing make the impossible possible?
Can I jump off a cliff without wings, and fly if I believe?
It depends in part on who it is we believe in.
If I believe in someone weak, I cannot expect strong results.
If I believe in someone evil, I cannot expect good results.
But if we put our hope in a good, all powerful God, there are new possibilities.
It is not ‘belief’ that makes things possible, but ‘belief in God!’
Evil spirits have power in our lives because we believe they do.
We listen to their lies, we believe there whispers, we see them as ‘great’.
Like a yappy dog that scares a little boy, until the boy stands up to it.
Every situation, every crisis, every challenge, has good possibility, when God is involved.
Jesus is not urging this man to believe in belief, but to believe in Him, and God.
Trust God, rely on God, keep Your hope in God, even when things seem impossible.
Stop letting your fears convince you that they are bigger, better than God.
Trust God, and tell your fears how big your God is.
“I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24)
What do you sense the Lord saying to you?
PRAYER
Lord, not matter how big or scary or hopeless my situation may be, You are always bigger. I choose to trust You, help me do this more and more.
