All Things Are Possible

[Thompson, Darryl]

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.
