Owe Yee Of Little Faith

Published on 5 March 2024 at 11:04

Good morning, I'm talking to my fellow Christians this morning. We run to Jesus with all our baggage and then don't have faith in Him to take care of it. We ask Him to help or heal and then we worry if He will follow through. We seek advice on important decisions and then doubt that He will answer. We even pray for those we love and don't have faith that He will answer our prayers.

Everything is in God's timing not ours. Just because we aren't seeing an answer instantly, doesn't mean He's not working on it. Sometimes the answer is no, but it's still an answer.

Mark 9:19

[19]He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

Mark 9:23

[23]Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Mark 9:25

[25]When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

Mark 9:26-29

[26]And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.

[27]But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

[28]And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?

[29]And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

When the disciples couldn't cast out the demon it shook their faith. Jesus reminded them that for us as Christians, we need to fast and pray. Previously the disciples were able to do this , but this time it required prayer. I can understand why the disciples would wonder what happened when they failed. Imagine healing people and then all of a sudden you can't. They didn't give up though, they sought Jesus for answers. This is what we need to do.

Hebrews 11:6

[6]But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

With this we should understand that we have to continually seek Him. At the same time we should know that we must have faith and believe that Jesus is the "I Am". He rewards those who believe and have faith. All things are possible when we have faith, believe and seek Him.

John 17:1-26[1]These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:[2]As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.[3]And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.[4]I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.[5]And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.[6]I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.[7]Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.[8]For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.[9]I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.[10]And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.[11]And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.[12]While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.[13]And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.[14]I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.[15]I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.[16]They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.[17]Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.[18]As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.[19]And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.[20]Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;[21]That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.[22]And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:[23]I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.[24]Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.[25]O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.[26]And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
