~All Things Are Possible~

Mark 9:23 NKJ

23 Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things arepossible to him who believes."


From our early years we are educated in what is impossible. But progress continues to be made by people who attempt the impossible and achieve it.


Some have said that mankind's only real obstacle is between our two ears.


We ARE limited by what we believe, according to Jesus.


So, how can we change what we believe? Only by getting new evidence, which is available from the Word of God.


MATTHEW 17:20 NKJ

20 So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed,you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.


A conventional approach will not achieve the "impossible." It will require acting different than the crowd, who probably won't understand you or support you. Speaking to things and telling them to move, as Jesus taught, is certainly not conventional. Acting different than everyone else can be scary. It's like getting out of the boat to walk on water. But do you want conventional results?


As you read the Bible and see the instructions God gave us, you will usually find them unconventional. But the person who acts on God's Word will be blessed.


While our family is facing a very difficult time and we should ALL be doing whatever possible to help my sister literally in this fight for her life there is trouble. Is this the devil? Is this his way of trying to discourage us or put a stop to our Praise of all God is doing?


Please pray that these matters will be resolved. This is negative energy that could be used in positive ways.
