““If you can'?" said Jesus."Everything is possible for him who believes" Mark 9:23. 

I think I have mentioned the verse once in my post, but it came back to me today, so I want to say a few things about it again. A troubled father came to Jesus, because Jesus disciples were not able to help the son that was having troubles with some mental disease. Neither could physicians help the poor boy. There had to be a greater power that would set him free. We know that this kind of power is God’s power. However, Jesus mentioned another power that could have solved the problem of the father. What was that power?

It was the power of faith. Faith moves things in the spiritual realms and then we see consequences of that in the physical reality. We need deep inner conviction when we pray to God, that He hears our prayers and answers them. Then power of God can be released and situation changed. Develop and increase your faith by reading Bible passages on faith and then practice it. Miracles will come and you will be amazed at the fact that everything is possible for him who believes. It really is. Try it yourself!

^“5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning” Psalm 30:5. 

If you are sorrowful today, do not despair, God knows about it. He has also prepared a way out from your situation. Trials and difficulties naturally cause us to suffer and be sad, but you should not give in to your sadness. Even if you have given in, do not lose hope that better times are coming. Expect much better things in the morning. 

Start each day as if there has never been the situation that makes you sad. Allow God to comfort you. He always has a solution to any problem we might have. You must believe it. There will always be some bad days in your life, but it likewise should be a lot more better days in your live than bad ones. Why? Because God’s favor lasts for a lifetime! If you have sinned you can ask Him to forgive you. Do not stay under a sense of guilt for too long. Be assured that He has forgiven you and you can live without guilt. Go and rejoice!
