Faith without impossibility (Mark 9:14-19)
When Jesus came down from the mountain of transfiguration, at the bottom of the mountain, a demon possessed
A great commotion arose when the nine disciples of Jesus were stunned over one child.
When the disciples saw Jesus, they sighed in relief, and the child's father said to Jesus.
Master, I have brought to you my son who is possessed by a demon. Demons are everywhere.
When he caught him, he overturned and foamed, grinded his teeth, and became flies.
I asked your disciples to cast them out, but they could not do it.
The devil often threw him into fire and water to kill him. But if you can do anything
Have mercy on us and help us. What does Jesus mean if you can?

Jesus rebuked the boy's demon, and the demon was cast out
The miraculous work of the child's recovery took place.
There are many things in the world that humans cannot do, and Napoleon
I said that there is nothing impossible in my dictionary, and around our lives, we often hear sayings that there is a cure for all diseases, that everything is possible, and that everything is solved.
It is only possible when we depend on God who is the Creator.
What are the factors that make the impossible possible?
1. It is possible only through faith.
Verses 23-24 Jesus said to them, “If it is possible, what do you mean?
Nothing is impossible. Immediately the child's father cried out, saying, I believe.
Help me with my unbelief.
(Matthew 17:20) Truly I say to you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed
But if you command this mountain to move from here to there, it will move.
And nothing will be impossible for you

They are the people who made history through faith.
(Hebrews 11:6) Without faith it is impossible to please God. He who comes to God must
He must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Unable to get close to Jesus, he went up to the roof and pierced the
When they ran down, when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic,
He healed me that your sins are forgiven.
When Jesus healed the sick, he always saw faith and healed.

Only faith makes the impossible possible.
The one who said I can do it is my power, the Lord God, only faith
2. Only prayer is possible.
When the nine disciples asked, why couldn't we cast out the demon?
He said that this kind cannot go out by anything but prayer.
(Matthew 17:21) These kinds of things cannot go out except by prayer and fasting.
① When King Hezekiah was sick and about to die, he cried out to God and prayed,
15 years of life extension

The one who said I can do it is my power, Lord God, only prayer
3. It is possible only with the power of the Holy Spirit of God.
(Zechariah 4:6) This is not by force, says the LORD of hosts.
not by power, but by my spirit.
The disciples of Jesus had been with him for three years, and from Jesus they
I received power and did evangelism, but I did not have faith until I received the Holy Spirit.
Sometimes they are cowardly, and when Jesus is arrested, all the disciples are torn apart.
He even ran away, and Peter denied knowing Jesus three times.
On the day of Pentecost, when he received the Holy Spirit, he changed 180 degrees and did not fear death.
On the contrary, when threatened, Peter and John would not listen to you before God.
Rather than listening to God's word, judge whether it is right or not (Acts 4:19), he boldly said.
Jesus knew in advance, and before he ascended into heaven, he begged him not to leave Jerusalem.
Wait for what the Father has promised, which I have heard of. John baptized with water.
He said, “You will be baptized with the Holy Spirit in a few days.” (Acts 1:4-5)

To Samaria, to Damascus, to Asia, they scattered and preached the gospel, and wherever they went they
Wonders and miracles took place, persecuted, persecuted, martyred,
could receive it with pleasure. When you receive the Holy Spirit, you become bold.
4. It is possible with God's blessing.
(1) Tens of thousands of people gathered in the field of Bethsaida.
Everyone was listening to Jesus' words about the kingdom of heaven, but it was late.
On the way, most people were starving because they could not eat, and it was empty.
It was far from town, so I couldn't buy bread, and if there was a way, it was for Jesus to finish his speech quickly and send the crowd away.
The disciples are restless because they continue without thinking of finishing it.
The Lord told the disciples to give you something to eat, but at this time a boy
They offered five barley loaves and two fish to the Lord, and the Lord gave them the loaves and fish.
When he gave thanks, an amazing miracle happened, and everyone was satisfied except for the woman and child.
He said that he collected the leftovers after eating and made twelve baskets.
Doing impossible things that cannot be done by human power or physically
It was done by God's blessing.
If there's something impossible that you can't do on your own,
We believe that the impossible will become possible when we receive God's blessing.

The second coming is also a miracle, and in the future we will be resurrected and taken up by God
