A desperate man came to Jesus. His son had a mute spirit, which violently shook him. And the Lord said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

There is a direct relationship between the power of God and the believer’s faith. The Creator has delighted in manifesting His power over the lives of people who put all their trust in Him.

Jesus also said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20).

However, the man in our story was very honest with Jesus and replied, “I believe, Lord, but help my unbelief.” His cry moved the Savior’s heart, and that day his son was freed.

This man acknowledged that his faith was very small and had the courage to confess it before the Lord. He asked for help and sowed even his little faith in Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.

Whatever difficulty we are going through, let us consider four factors:

1.- Nothing is impossible for God.

2.- Let us grow our faith by reading His Word.

3.- Let us align our request with the Lord’s will.

4.- And let us put all our trust in Him.
