Life Plan Devotion #130 [Can you believe it?]

Hi, Everyone.
I witnessed a miracle yesterday. I don't have permission to give details, but I just want to say that God is on the move! How is God working in your life? I'd love to have you share right here, as a post reply. I don't know about you, but I love to take every opportunity to tell the Lord how awesome He is. Have a Mark 9:23-kind-of-day. :)

Life Plan Devotion #130 [Can you believe it?]

Mark 9:23 "Jesus said unto him, 'If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes'" (NKJV).

     Jesus made a powerful statement to the man who brought his own son to Him for deliverance. He said, "All things are possible to him who believes."
     The reason Jesus could say that is shown in Hebrews 1:1-2, "God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things..." (NKJV). How many is "all"? All means all! Jesus has been made heir of all things.
     Then Romans 8:16-17 says, "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ..." (NKJV). If you are a joint heir with someone, whatever he inherits also belongs to you. What did Jesus inherit? God appointed Him heir of all things.
     Jesus said in Mark 10:27 (NKJV), "...with God all things are possible," and "all things are possible to Him who believes" (Mark 9:23, NKJV). All things are possible to the person who believes because we believers are joint heirs with Jesus, the Heir of all things.
     The believer must learn to believe God and tap his/her faith into God's grace and God's ability. If we in the true Church Body would just get hold of that, it would absolutely change our lives! All things are possible to us, when we believe.

What this has to do with weight loss: One of the hardest parts of the weight-loss journey, for most people, is to actually believe that one will get to and stay at one's goal weight. Allow God to help you paint a picture in your mind of what you'll look like at goal weight, and think of it often. Your imagination is God given. Use it for good, and that includes for your good. When you believe it, nothing is impossible.

Confession:
With God, all things are possible. He is greater than any sickness, any disease, any difficulty, any lack. He is greater than all, and He lives in me--so all things are possible to me because I believe!

Blessings,
Mary
