All
Things Are Possible
All things are possible
to him that believeth. Mark 9:23
It is faith that connects us with heaven,
and brings us strength for coping with the powers of darkness. In Christ, God
has provided means for subduing every evil trait, and resisting every
temptation, however strong.
The righteous have ever obtained help
from above. How often have the enemies of God united their strength and wisdom
to destroy the character and influence of a few simple persons who trusted in
God. But because the Lord was for them, none could prevail against them. . . .
Let them be separated from their idols and from the world, and the world will
not separate them from God. Christ is our present, all-sufficient Saviour. In
Him all fullness dwells. It is the privilege of Christians to know indeed that
Christ is in them of a truth. "This is the victory that overcometh the
world, even our faith." All things are possible to him that believeth; and
whatsoever things we desire when we pray, if we believe that we receive them we
shall have them. This faith will penetrate the darkest cloud and bring rays of
light and hope to the drooping, desponding soul. It is the absence of this
faith and trust which brings perplexity, distressing fears, and surmisings of
evil. God will do great things for His people when they put their entire trust in
Him.
Through faith God's children have
"subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the
mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword,
out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the
armies of the aliens." And through faith we today are to reach the heights
of God's purpose for us.
