"Jesus asked, what do you mean, IF I CAN? Anything is possible if a person believes!"
Have you ever asked someone to help you and heard them reply, IF I CAN? The threshold question then becomes, can they help you or not. When it comes to a human being the answer will vary greatly. Sometimes men can help you and some times it is impossible for them. God has a totally different answer, in that He is Omnipotent! Jesus was taken aback by the question of the father of the demon possessed child. The father wanted to know if Jesus Christ the Lord God could help him. Jesus Christ gave the appropriate and correct answer, "anything is possible if a person believes". Nothing is impossible to the Lord God, He has no limitations!
The question is not whether Jesus Christ can help you. He is all powerful and can do anything at any time. The question is what do you believe Jesus Christ can do for you! The response will be in direct proportion to your belief. Jesus answer may be instantaneous or it may be delayed and in His timing. The answer may come in this life on earth or in the eternal life to come in Heaven. Jesus Christ can and will answer your prayer as everything is possible to Him. The question is if it is in His Will, and if it is the right thing to do. Jesus said that all things are possible to Him if you believe! Do you believe Him?
In the same scripture, Jesus made the disciples aware that sometimes when requests are made that they require prayer and fasting. Some cries for help are different then others and remember even the Lord prayed three times for the same request on one occasion. We should pray that the Lord's will be done here on earth as it will be in Heaven. Until the Lord's return some answers to prayer will only be available in Heaven. They all will be answered. The lame will leap for joy, the deaf will hear and the blind will see. The dead will have come back to eternal life and have overcome death. So it will be obvious that Jesus Christ's answer to the prayers of anyone is I WILL, not IF I CAN!
