ALL
THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
"Jesus
said to him, 'If you can believe, all things are possible
to him who believes' " (Mark 9:23, NKJV).
It is
faith that connects us with heaven and brings us strength
for coping with the adversities of life. In Christ, God has
provided means for subduing every harmful trait and resisting
every evil influence, however strong. Jesus who healed the
sick and cast out demons when He walked among men is still
present by His Holy Spirit to aid us as we walk with Him and
call upon His help. His promise is, "the
one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out"
(John 6:37).
As you
come to Him, believe that He accepts you, because He has promised.
"Come to Me, all you who labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke
upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew
11:28, 29).
God's
purpose in sending Jesus into the world was to seek for you
and me and to let us know there is a way out of the evil and
troubles of this world. "God demonstrates His own love
toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died
for us." "He who did not spare His own Son, but
delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also
freely give us all things?" "I am persuaded that
neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor
powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height
nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate
us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
"If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans
5:8; 8:32, 38, 39; 8:31).
He loves
you and He is there for you. "If
you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."
