"Jesus
said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that
believeth." (Mark 9:23).
The Bible tells us of a certain man
named Jairus, whose daughter was sick to the point of death. In his worried and
troubled state, someone told him to get the Master’s attention, and he did: "And,
behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and
when he saw him, he fell at his feet, and besought him greatly, saying, My
little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy
hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. And Jesus went with
him; and much people followed him, and thronged him" (Mark 5:22-24).
As they journeyed, word came that
the young girl was already dead, therefore no need for Jairus to trouble the
Master. But the Bible says "As soon as Jesus heard the word that was
spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only
believe" (Mark 5:36). How comforting! The Master wanted Jairus to
stop the fear and refuse the wrong picture. He’s saying the same thing to you
today.
Perhaps you’ve been wondering what
to do about a certain situation that seems to have defied every solution;
refuse to fear; only believe! Refuse to be overwhelmed by the extent or
enormity of the challenge. Rather, believe in the ability and power of the
Spirit to see you through victoriously. To believe means to be in a state of
expectancy, where you envision in your spirit a positive outcome in every
situation! When you receive unfavourable or discouraging news, don’t despair;
don’t give up; only believe! That means stop the fear and refuse to doubt;
envision only a positive outcome.
When life looks dark, and things
seem impossible and difficult, and everything seems to be going down, hold your
head up high and declare "I’m a victor in Christ Jesus!" Refuse to
let your heart be troubled with unbelief, fear and doubt, and keep proclaiming
in faith that you’re more than a conqueror.
