Are all things truly possible to them that believe? In Mark
9 a man brought his mute and demon possessed son to Jesus for healing. The
disciples of Jesus couldn't do anything earlier, tried as they did. Just before
Jesus delivered the boy from the clutches of the devil and bondage, the man
asked, "But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help
us". Jesus replied just prior to healing, "If you can! All things are
possible for one who believes". So I ask again. Are all things truly possible
to them that believe?
Preachers have been preaching hard across mass meetings that
all things are possible to them that believe. We have had rallies here in Kuala
Lumpur with big banners promising healing to all who would believe. In India, a
famous man of God did the same, only to stirred the anger of the people when the
preacher couldn't heal and raise a dead man brought on stage. He had to be
escorted out of the rally and head home for his country. It is easy to preach
and say things in big rallies and there will always be results of miracles and
healings but if we are at all honest, the percentage of healing in relation to
the proportion of crowds that attended the meetings is hardly anything to brag
about.
If all things are truly possible to them that believe, can I
believe that I can stop ageing and not grow old rest of my life? If I believe,
can I literally command into existence something that is not? We can talked
about this till the cow come home. Preachers can justify all they want as to
why some are healed and others are not. But let tell you what I think the
Scripture meant when we quote "all things are possible to them that believe".
In a nutshell ...
THINGS THAT ARE POSSIBLE WITH MAN ARE POSSIBLE TO
THEM THAT CAN BELIEVE (Mk. 9:23)
THINGS THAT ARE IMPOSSIBLE WITH MAN ARE POSSIBLE ONLY WITH GOD (Matt. 19:26)
Chew on this a bit. God bless.
