If You Can?

It was such a great word that was brought forth yesterday. It was both very convicting as well as very encouraging. How we are so in need of God's word to wash our thoughts of all conformity and to transform them to think and believe as God does!

Doubt always try to displace belief. They are two rival emotions. We need to remember though, that we are not to walk by emotions, but by the spirit. Emotions are flesh, Spirit is God (the Word). Every circumstance that arises will test how we choose to walk. The flesh always seems to be the first response that is triggered to arise. But we who know the word of God make a quick choice to push our emotions down and command our spirit to rise up!

No matter what we are walking through, we must choose to walk by faith and not by sight. Faith is not attached to how we "feel" but to the word of God we "stand" on.

When Jesus encountered a boy with an evil spirit, the father said (Mark 9:22), "But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us." Words of faith do not say "But if you can". We know that these were not words of faith by Jesus response back to him. Jesus said, " If you can? Everything is possible for him who believes." (Mark 9:23) Jesus took this mans doubt, and showed him what was possible if he believed.

Doubt will hinder our ability to believe. The Truth dispels doubt for the Truth says, "EVERYTHING is POSSIBLE for him who BELIEVES."

Take God's word and allow it to become truth in your mind. Then let this truth you know in your mind, become the passion in your heart. Speak forth what you know is truth in your mind and heart, for it is out of the overflow of the heart, that your mouth speaks belief.
