The power of faith! (26/6/2023)
Mark 9:23-24 “ ‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.” Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
The boy was epileptic. His father brought him to the disciples to heal him. But they failed. Jesus had stepped aside to pray. When Jesus returned, the boy’s father desperately begged Him to heal his son. But Jesus turned it back to him, saying, all things are possible to him who believes. Just to be sure he doesn’t miss out, the man declared that he believes, but asks Jesus to help him overcome his unbelief. His son was delivered.
Throughout His ministry on earth, Jesus attached so much importance to the faith of those who came to Him for help. He only responded to their faith and did nothing without it. Throughout history, the people who achieved great and would be impossible things, were driven by the power of faith that they could do it. Those who gave up and believed that they could do nothing failed. And still do.
There is such great power in faith. In the spirit world, everything revolves around it. Nothing happens without it. Satan’s aim is to make people doubt God and instead shift it so that they believe his lies. He establishes strongholds in their minds. And that’s what gets fulfilled. Jesus said everything is possible for the one who believes, whatever it is they believe. It is fundamental that you are sure of what you believe.
Galatians 5:6 "For when we are in union with Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor the lack of it makes any difference at all; what matters is faith that works through love."
