The word
In Mark 9 a desperate father begs Jesus to help his son that was possessed with an impure, demonic spirit that would throw the boy into convulsions, cause him to be mute, harm himself, foam at the mouth, gnash his teeth, and become rigid. It would even throw him into fire and water to try to kill him.
The father of the boy tells Jesus, “…if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”
Jesus responds to the father,
“‘If you can’?...Everything is possible for one who believes.”
Let me say it again for the people in the back…
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE FOR THOSE THAT BELIEVE!!!
“Believe” here in Mark 9 in the original language means “to have faith in, upon, or with respect to a person, to entrust especially one’s spiritual well-being to Christ, commit to trust, put in trust with, to be committed unto, to think to be true, to be persuaded, to place confidence in, conviction and trust, to entrust a thing to one, to credit, and ABSOLUTELY to trust in Jesus or in God as able to aid either in obtaining or in doing something”
THAT is the belief God is calling you to into in this season!
In Mark 9, Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed in response to Jesus, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
“Unbelief” here in the original language means- unbelief shown in withholding belief in the divine power or in the promises of God, also means weakness of faith.
After the boy’s father said this, Jesus commands the deaf and mute spirit to come out of the boy and never enter him again. The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out.
The boy was FULLY DELIVERED.
If you are believing yourself for a miracle or miracles- DO NOT partner with unbelief and withdraw from God, the ONE who is always worthy of our trust!
Remember, scripture says He spits out the lukewarm!
NOW is the time to REPENT of lukewarm love and lukewarm belief!
In THIS season God is wanting to cast the deaf and dumb spirit out of US- HIS BRIDE!
NOW is time to REPENT of being deaf and dumb to His Spirit inside of you, to His Word and His promises!
Come ALIVE to your faith again my friends ‼
Fully entrust yourself to Christ again, be committed to fully trusting Him, place all of your confidence and conviction in Him, and ABSOLUTELY believe in HIM and His ability again!!!

In the last video, I covered how God is calling us back into real belief in this season right now. It is absolutely vital that we are living in true belief and real faith in our everyday lives because of what is coming. So, I'm going to share some scriptures he led me to so we know practically what this belief is and what this faith looks like lived out in our everyday life. And I'm going to start with Mark 9.
It's a story of a father whose son was possessed by a demon that would harm him. And the father desperately tells Jesus, "If you can do anything, take pity on us and help us." And Jesus responds to him, "If you can, everything is possible for those who believe." And here belief in the original language means to have faith in upon or with respect to a person to entrust especially one's spiritual well-being to Christ. Commit to trust. Put in trust with to be committed onto.
To think to be true, to be persuaded, to place confidence in conviction and trust, to entrust a thing to one to one to credit and to absolutely trust in Jesus or in God as able to aid either in obtaining or in doing a thing. And back to the account. Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe. Help me overcome my unbelief." And unbelief here in the original language means unbelief shown in withholding belief in the divine power or in the promises of God.
And it also means weakness of faith. And this made me think, wow, how much do I hate it when a romantic partner withholds their love from me or they don't trust or believe me when I'm telling them the truth. And um I just made me realize, wow, God feels the same way. The word says that he spits out the lukewarm, right? like he does not like it when we withhold our love or don't trust him when obviously all he can tell is the truth.
And um in this bibl biblical account in Mark 9, Jesus ends up casting out a deaf and dumb spirit out of the boy and he was delivered and he was made well. And I believe in this hour, Jesus is wanting to cast out a deaf and dumb spirit out of the church, out of his bride. And it's time to repent of being deaf and dumb to the things he's promised you, to his spirit that's inside of you, to his word, to the living God inside of us. It's time to repent of this deaf and dumb spirit that's kept us deaf and dumb to our faith.
Um, it's now time to repent of lukewarm belief and lukewarm faith and lukewarm love. And it's time to stop withholding our love, stop withholding our belief and our trust from the one who is most worthy of it. It's time to fully entrust yourself to Christ again. It's time to be fully committed to fully trusting him to place all of your confidence and conviction in him and in his word in his Rama and Logos word, his spoken and written word to absolutely believe in him and his ability and power.
Again, if this is something that you need help understanding, living out in your everyday life, um, then there's links for my one-on-one coaching and mentorship in the caption. There's also links for ministry invitations and sewing into this ministry and word there as well. And don't forget to share this for your friends that need the encouragement.
