ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF A PERSON BELIEVES!

MARK 9: 23

"Jesus asked, what do you mean if I can? ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF A PERSON
BELIEVES!"

Have you ever asked someone to help you? Have you heard them reply to your request; if I can? That leads us to the threshold question everyone must ask themselves. Is the person you are asking is capable of helping you? When it comes to asking a human being the question, you have to realize that they have limitations and so the answer will vary. Sometimes the person you are asking to help you can do it and sometimes it is impossible for them to help. In the One Truth Today we see Jesus being asked to help and those asking, have questioned His ability and power! The Lord is Omnipotent and being all powerful, He points out that He can help anyone, any time. Anything and everything is possible to God and if asked by someone for help ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF A PERSON BELIEVES!

The Lord has no limitations and nothing is impossible to Him. The question is not whether or not the Lord can help you, the question is do you believe that Jesus Christ can help you? His ability to respond will be in direct proportion to your believe in Him. Your help may be instantaneous or it may be delayed. Everything is in the Lord's timing. In fact the help may not come here on earth, but in the kingdom of God, in heaven. Jesus will answer you request or prayer and He points our that the issue is not "if I can". All things are possible to God.

In this same scripture, Jesus made the disciples aware that some requests and prayers require prayer and fasting to bring the result. Some prayers may have to be made more than once, for even the Lord prayed the same request three times in the Garden of Gethsemane. We must always pray that the Lord's Will be done. We want the Lord's Will to be done on earth just as it is in heaven. Can the blind see? Can the deaf hear? Can the lame leap for joy? They will all receive the answer to their prayers. The dead will come back to life and overcome death. Jesus Christ answers our prayers and ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF A PERSON BELIEVES!
