Mark 9:23 "What do you mean, 'If I can'?" Jesus asked. "Anything is possible if a person believes." v.24 The father instantly cried out, "I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!"
That really is quite a statement Jesus made! Yesterday we looked at the fact that nothing is impossible with God and then today Jesus gives us greater insight and says 'anything is possible if a person believes'. The father in this story cries out and says "I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief."
I should think everyone of us identifies with the cry of that father. "I do believe Lord but help me overcome my 'what if's, my fears and doubts, help me overcome my past experiences that say it never happened before, why will it happen now? Help me overcome!
There is good news and hope for us if you've ever felt like that. You see that father didn't have the Spirit of God living on the inside of him, he was struggling with unbelief in his own strength but he did have the wisdom to ask Jesus to help him!
l John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
We have the Spirit of overcoming stuff inside us and His name is Holy Spirit and He is far more powerful than any doubt and unbelief that's bombarding us. Call on Him for His help to overcome the doubts, don't try and battle them on your own like that father was trying to do.
l John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith.
Remember, God has given each of us the gift of His faith to overcome whatever comes against us in this world. Romans 12:3 For......God has dealt to each one the measure of faith. ' God not only gave us faith to get saved but also faith to live out our lives in victory. Thank You Jesus.
Be encouraged God has given us all we need to believe for whatever we need to believe for!
He's given us His faith, His Holy Spirit, His grace and favour, His wisdom, now all He asks of us is to get into agreement with what He's said and to say "I believe I receive all that because You can't lie and You say I've got it so I have. I am able to believe that all things are possible to those who believe and that's me, I'm a Believer! Thank You Lord. Amen."
Are you born of God? Then you are a Believing Overcomer. Just agree with God!😊
