All Things Are Possible If You Believe
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things
are possible to him that believeth
(Mark 9:23).
In Mark 9, a man was so helpless and came
to Jesus. His son had been taken over by an
epileptic spirit. The man, desperate and in dire need
of help, told the Master, “…ofttimes it hath cast him
into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but
if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us,
and help us” (Mark 9:22).
You might be in a similar condition today and
are completely at sea as to what to do. You might
even be pleading like that man, asking God to do just
anything and have compassion on you. I’ll like to tell
you this: brighten up! Notice the Master’s response:
“…If thou canst believe, all things are possible to
him that believeth” (Mark 9:23). What a message
to a frustrated and desperate father who had gone
everywhere seeking help!
Notice that Jesus didn’t say it depends on how
long the matter has been, how serious the case is or
how much you can pay for it! He only said, “If you can
believe, all things are possible to him that believes.”
Can you believe today that you’ve been made
whole in Christ? Can you believe that He’s already
granted you all things that pertain to life and to
godliness? That’s what the Word says: all things are
yours (1 Corinthians 3:21). Believe and act accordingly.
To believe doesn’t mean to expect something to
happen in the future: that is hope. Believing is acting
your faith; putting your faith to work now. Believing
is the verb of faith.
That situation you’re in right now, isn’t God’s
sentence. Believe and affirm that there’s a change.
Affirm that things are turning out for your good, just
like Romans 8:28 says: “And we know that all things
work together for good to them that love God, to them
who are the called according to his purpose.”
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for causing faith to rise up in my
heart today and for the blessed assurance that comes in your
infallible Word. I reach out with my faith and I appropriate
all that you have for me today. I walk in health, victory and
your supernatural blessings, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
