Through Christ All Things Are Possible

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Mark 16:17-18

As a child of God we are blessed with might and power that we probably don’t even realize that we have… These verses teach us of the supernatural power that we can tap into which only comes from the Lord… When we do things in the name of the Lord positive results will follow, Mark tells us that we can cast out devils, we can speak with new tongues and pick up serpents… All things are possible when we are in the care of our Lord and Savior; however, the key to unlocking these powers is the faith that we must have which cannot waver or be snuffed out… In times of despair, in times of turmoil, in times of chaos Mark teaches us today that with an unwavering faith and a (n) unquenchable fire or zeal for the Lord we will be able to do miraculous things… The words In my name speak to the connection and authority that we must receive through Christ in order to perform the impossible in our lives… 

Remember all the great things that Jesus did upon this earth, but also remember that He said, “Greater things than I will you do…”The mantle is ready to be passed, the limitless heights you can reach are in view, but you must walk according to the will of God and submit yourself totally to Him… We all have heard the saying, “You can tell a Leopard by its spots”, also true; is the fact that you can tell a Christian by their abilities. One who has a vague outlook on life has question marks in their walk with God, one who can’t consider it pure joy when trials comes needs to humble themselves a little more and the one who walks aimlessly through life must find the compass that is the Holy Spirit… Mark informs us today that we can distinguish a Christian by their actions on this earth as well as their faith in which they claim to serve. These instructions are given to the Disciples of Christ, we have the ability to cast out devils (resist and he will flee), speak in tongues (Acts 3^rd chapter), and take up serpents (be unafraid of danger). 

Nothing in this world can harm us as long as God is our shield and buckler. Again, notice the verse says these signs shall follow believers, then it says “IN MY NAME”, this is a great stumbling block for many, a lot of Christians have given up on their journey, tossed in the towel and have forfeit their right to Spiritual Ascension. This happens simply because for years they have been trying to do things on their own, you can defeat Satan, you can win back your children, you can overcome the trials and tribulations you face, just remember to call on the name of the Lord, remember to hold to His unchanging hand, remember to go into your secret closet, and walk in His ways. You must seek the kingdom of God first and everything else will be added unto you… Your victory is in His hands, your breakthrough is in His hands, and your peace is in His hands… Call upon His name, do it in His name, walk in His name and abide within His tabernacle… When David was faced with opposition and turmoil this is what he said,“Ye though I walk through the valley of the shadows of death, I will fear no evil… For thou art with me…” Christ is with you and when you realize that you will also come to know that you can do all things in and through His name…

ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
