WHAT CAN YOU BELIEVE !

WHAT CAN YOU BELIEVE ?: The Lord is still in the healing business savings and business, and delivering business, and baptizing in the Holy Spirit business. Nothing is too hard for the Lord. Nothing is impossible with Him. Many people think things are impossible, because they are looking at things in the natural realm, but with God nothing is impossible. If you can believe that, the impossible can happen in your life. That's what Jesus said to the man who brought his son for healing. The son had a spirit of epilepsy. At times he would fall into water or fire. His father had his mind on what Jesus could do. He said, "If thou canst DO anything, have compassion on us, and help us" (Mark 9:22). That's where a lot of folks miss it. They've gotten their mind on "What can you do to help me ?" But that's not the main problem at all. The main problem is: "What can you believe ? Jesus answered the man, "If thou canst believe, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THEM THAT BELIEVETH" (Mark 9:23). ALL things are possible ! How many things ? ALL. Say that out loud: "ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE." Say it again: " ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE." Say it again: "ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE." To whom are they possible ? To the person who believes. Say this out loud: "I BELIEVE. Jesus, saying in (Mark 11:23), "for verily I say unto you whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that THOSE THINGS WHICH HE SAITH SHALL COME TO PASS, he shall have whatsoever he SAITH." Too frequently many people look at situations and circumstances and say, "That's impossible." They look at conditions and say, "That's impossible." But, praise God, there is no such thing as an impossibility. People measure themselves by themselves ! I don't care what it is. I don't care how hopeless and helpless it looks. You may be facing a mountain, of sickness, or disease, or even financial problems, and it looks like there is no way out ! Jesus said talk to your mountain, tell it what God's Word says about the particular situation that you're in. Somebody said, "we need to become possibility thinkers." Too much of the time we are in possibility thinkers. We are trained to think that way, because the soulless man has not been renewed in the word of God. Yes, the mind did not get saved ! If you don't get your mind renewed with the Word of God --- if you let your flesh dominate you --- your keep on thinking that way until it is impossible. You'll say, "That's impossible." The apostle Paul, speaks to a bunch of born-again believers, and tells them that they had to do something with their minds and their bodies (Romans 12:1-2), and I'm reading from the amplified Bible. "I appeal to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of all the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy [devoted, consecrated] and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable [rational, intelligent] service and spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world [this age], fashioned after and adapting to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed [changed] by the [entire] renewal of your mind by its new ideals and its new attitude, so that you may prove for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the things which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]." Many people need to retrain their thinking. All things are possible. All things are possible to him that believeth. This worked in Old Testament days, too, we can learn a great deal studying how God help men and women in the Old Testament. We can see what these individuals did to obtain help. You See, If God Is the Helper under the Old Testament, he's That the Helper under the New. Some of the same principles work. After all, human nature is the same; it hasn't changed if you are not born again. It is identically the same. Human beings and human nature were The Same under the Old Testament as they are under the new. Sin is also the same. Disease and sickness are the same !
