Oh the power of three letters~
D I S
The power to change
agree to DISagree
approved to DISapproved
obedience to DISobedience
interested to DISinterested
order to DISorder
advantage to DISadvantage
"DIS"~expressing negation.
What are you "DIS"ing?
When we add that prefix to any word we miss out,
because what we really are plagued with is
DISbelief:
the inability or refusal to accept that something is true or real
And then
we don't have something that we really BELIEVE in that is reliable, true, or real.
Who, what, where or when are you BELIEVING in?
The father approaches JESUS to heal his son.
"If YOU can?" rolls off his tongue.
DISbelief
"If YOU can?” said JESUS.
BUT then JESUS continues with,
“Everything is possible for one who BELIEVES” (Mark 9:23)
BELIEF: trust, faith, or confidence in someone or something.
And then~
"Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed,
'I do BELIEVE; help me overcome my unBELIEF!'" (Mark 9:24).
The father knows about JESUS and knows that HE could heal his child,
BUT
"If YOU can" rolls off his tongue.
Oh the FAITH issue.
BUT then the father then
RECEIVES JESUS
&
BELIEVES IN HIM
and now asks JESUS to really help him.
Have you ever questioned JESUS
whether HE can or will do what HE said HE would do?
"If YOU can"
has rolled ofF my tongue numerous times.
BUT then
in the midst of my disBELIEF
JESUS
responds back with
"If I can?"
because
HE hears
HE sees
&
HE wants to
because
HE CAN!
Is JESUS enough to take away the DIS from your BELIEF?
IF JESUS CAN turn water into wine.
IF JESUS CAN walk on water.
IF JESUS CAN heal the blind man....
BUT DO YOU BELIEVE HIM?
IF JESUS CAN take away your anxieties.
IF JESUS CAN forgive the unforgivable.
IF JJESUS CAN love the unlovable.
IF JESUS CAN give you eternal life.
IF JESUS CAN
CAN
you
BELIEVE HIM?
Let's fast today from the weight of
DIS
By
RECEIVING & BELIEVING an in the
ONE WHO CAN
because
“Everything is possible for one who BELIEVES”
"THIS I BELIEVE" (listen to the song below)
