Mark_9-23-1: Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth
Memory verse:
And He arose and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Mark 4:39
Text:
And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Mark 4:35-41
Introduction:
A storm is defined in the Dictionary as “A Disturbance of the atmosphere marked by strong winds, rain, snow, hail, sleet, thunder and lightning.”
The peaceful atmosphere of many Christians is sometimes disturbed by satanic induced violent winds called spiritual storm. In the text above, storm arose even in the midst of their journey on water but because Jesus was in the ship with the disciples; they were saved.
Storms Of Life Could Be In Many Forces:
1. Storm of one’s destiny – Joseph Genesis 39:1-23
2. Storm of procreation – Sarah and Hannah 1 Samuel 1:2-20
3. Storm of poverty and lack – Widow of Zarephath
1 Kings 17:10-16
So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
12 And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.
15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah.
4. Storm of slavery and oppression – Children of Israel in Egypt.
Exodus 2:23-25.
And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
God Is Able To Bring You Out Of Every Storm.
But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things [are] possible to him that believeth.
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].
And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, [and] there is nothing too hard for thee:
What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?
I know that thou canst do every [thing], and [that] no thought can be withholden from thee.
Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Conclusion:
No matter the type of storm you are passing through, all you need to stop and calm the storm is to have Jesus in the ship of your life. The disciples were afraid because they did not immediately run to Jesus. Today, if you can run to the storm calmer, Jesus, that storm will experience miraculous calm in Jesus’ name.
