Title Is Nothing Impossible? / Mark 9:21-29
Contents
The first part of today's text tells the story of Jesus going into a high and deep mountain and being transformed there.
There is. This is the part I was talking about last week. Like an old story, for example, a rumble, Jesus told people
He went to a place where he wasn't there, and he changed into a different form than his usual form.
The three disciples who followed Jesus were lucky enough to witness this scene, but Jesus told them never to tell anyone.
you said He said, "Don't tell anyone," which means you shouldn't even tell the nine remaining disciples at the bottom of the mountain.
is. The truth about the true nature of Jesus is that it must be a secret. I had to hide it without showing it to my disciples.
The figure of Jesus was, in fact, the original figure of Jesus. His original form as the Son of God, full of glory and holiness
It was. Therefore, really, it is not an image that you have to hide and show, but anyone who believes in Jesus can see it with their own eyes.
It was the face of Jesus that should be known. But this natural thing is not only for the people of the world, but also for us.
It has become a secret that cannot be opened. That is the present state of our faith today.
I'm going to tell you through today's text.
An event awaited Jesus who came down from the mountain. A father leaves his demon-possessed son with the nine remaining disciples
brought them to However, the disciples could not heal the child and were struggling. Jesus came down from the mountain
This is the story of how God simply commanded the demon to “get out of the child” and healed him. In verse 18, the child's father
Ji tells Jesus: “I asked your disciples to drive them out, but they couldn’t.
“How shameful and shameful must Jesus be when he hears these words? So in verse 19, Jesus gave a sigh of relief to his disciples.
did it to “O unbelieving generation, how long I am with you and how long will I endure you.”
The incompetence of the disciples who can't heal a single child and are embarrassed, which makes people laugh, and that's why these
It is heartbreaking to know that you cannot show your true self, full of the glory and holiness of God, to the disciples at that level.
that was frowned upon. Here is our problem today. There are many churches and many believers on this earth, but among them, Jesus
The question is, how many people have directly witnessed this Son of God? Power of money, power of knowledge, everything
You may have the power of life that comes from a good experience, but have the power of Jesus to command the demons to "go out".
It's about how many people are losing.
See verse 21. Jesus asks. “Since when have you been like this?” Is it possible that my faith now has no pulse, no fun, and no life?
If you don't have a reputation, look back on when you started. My life of faith did not start like that when I first believed in Jesus.
will be Obviously, at some point, it has been so. In verse 22 the father says: “It’s been like that since I was little.
Ghosts have been thrown into water and fire since childhood. To kill a child, I can't do it once, so I keep throwing it
"Yes. Dear saints, Satan throws us into water and fire to kill us.
It throws us into the waters of money and power, into the waters of entertainment and pleasure. So let's drink a lot of that water and we'll die
I'm looking forward to it. Thrown into the fire of hatred, jealousy, and envy. So it burns brightly in the fire and eventually burns
It's waiting for you to die. Now it's clear. From the day we were thrown into the water by the devil,
From the day we were thrown into the fire, our spiritual life began to wither and die. In this moment of absolute desperation
Jesus upheld us. And to our surprise, Jesus also threw us into water and fire. the devil kills us
It was to save, but Jesus was to save. The living water throws us into the flowing river of the Word. That
Dirty sins will be washed away in the water. And everyone who drinks living water to the fullest will live. of the Holy Spirit
He throws us into the fire. In that fire the hard sins will be burned. And fill it with the fire of the Holy Spirit
will come to life vigorously. This wonderful love and grace has been given to us, but our pride
Because of Lee Seok-eum, today we cannot see the glory of God with our eyes, and even if we command the demons, we are rather tired.
The unfortunate thing that hurts is going on. Become the laughing stock of the world and change the heart of Jesus by saying, "O unbelieving generation"
It's what makes you sick.
What does verse 28 look like? To know that, we must first look at verses 23 and 24. In verse 23, Jesus said, “To those who believe,
is not impossible.” These words were not only addressed to the father of the child, but to all people of the gospel.
It was a declaration. The child's father heard this and shouted out loud, "I believe. Help me in my unbelief."
I screamed. But, brothers and sisters, in fact, from whose mouth should this cry come first? came out of the mouths of the disciples.
Shouldn't it be a cry that should have been made? So how were the disciples? Look at verse 28. "When you enter the house,
When the disciples asked quietly, they said, "Why were we not able to cast out the demon?" Jong-yong means "Secretly, secretly.
When it came to evening, after breaking up with people, I went to a house to rest, and I finally saw the other disciples
One or two people secretly and secretly came to Jesus and began to ask questions. Listen to Jesus like the father of a child
Immediately, he cried out in a loud voice, confessed his unbelief, and said, "Help," and said,
It was not a request or a request, but a question about the external result, "Why didn't we fix it?"
That's right. Today's problem is we who hear the Word but do not discover and confess ourselves before the Word. no matter how
Even when the Word is given, we are the ones who do not move at all in front of the Word. And the end result is, "Why am I in business?
Isn't this What's the secret? It's like this. It doesn't say, "My faith is wrong. Help me."
Look at this man screaming, help my unbelief.
① I realized that there are things that I need to be equipped to solve the problem.
② After hearing the Word, I realized that it was faith.
③ I checked my beliefs.
④ It was not perfect.
⑤ So I cried out to Jesus, “Help me to make my faith perfect.”
What did the Word show and teach us today? The Word always points out my spiritual condition first,
will diagnose. Even if it's not, it's hard to live, but the heartache and challenge that "you have this kind of spiritual disease now"
It will be quite painful and uncomfortable to receive. Ignoring the challenges that the Word gives and the things that show me
Moving on, now things like those in Acts 19:13 will happen. God Special to Paul Apostle
The power he gave was so great that even if he took the handkerchief or apron he was wearing and put it on, the demons went out. look at this
Some magicians thought of making money by imitating this. So, putting a demon-possessed man in front of him, he said, "A man named Paul preached.
In the name of Jesus, I command the kingdom.” Then the demons were not surprised or afraid.
Says: “I know Jesus and I know Paul, but who are you?” These are the words the devil is telling us today
is. "Who are you who don't even pray, you who only go to church?"
is. Do you know what happened to those magicians who imitated Paul? A demon-possessed man rushes to these magicians and falls
Trigo and hit me hard. In the end, he got wounds all over his body, his clothes were torn, and he ran away naked. high in the mountains
Peter said, "Let's build a shelter here and live." A place where neither sunlight nor moonlight is needed, that place is like heaven
It was because it seemed that they would be happy if they built only a cottage and lived. But heaven is not here on a high mountain, but here today. booth
A house is standing. A river of cool words flows in front of this house. The fire of the Holy Spirit in the kitchen furnace
The rice is cooked deliciously in the cauldron, and the fire is burning the whole house with warmth.
All. Wouldn't that be heaven? A place where the glory of God can be seen, a place full of God's holy light, where there is no impossibility
And, in the name of Jesus, the place where demons are cast out immediately, that heaven is in me today, in our home, in our church
I hope it gets loose. Only through prayer will this heaven come true on this earth, where I live. verse 29
Let's all read together. "He said to them, "This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer."
