All things are possible to him

1. The Lord’s Power—God Can

-------------

Let us look at Mark 9:21-23 , which says, “And He questioned his father, How long has this been happening to him? And he said, From childhood. And it has often thrown him both into fire and into water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us. And Jesus said to him, You say, If You can. All things are possible to him who believes. ” The father said to the Lord Jesus, “If You can do anything... help us. ” The Lord Jesus repeated his word and said, “If You can. ” The Lord’s “if You can” is a quotation of the father’s “if You can. ” The Lord Jesus was repeating what the father said. The father said, “If You can do anything... help us. ” The Lord Jesus said, “If You can. All things are possible to him who believes. ” It was not a question of “if You can, ” but a question of whether or not he could believe.

When man finds himself in difficulty, he is usually full of doubt; he cannot believe in the power of God. This is the first thing we need to deal with. It may seem at times that the power of the obstacle is greater than the power of God. The Lord Jesus rebuked the father for doubting the power of God. In the Bible we seldom find the Lord interrupting a person as He did in this case. It seems that the Lord was angry when He said, “If You can. ” The Lord rebuked the father when the father said, “If You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us. ” What the Lord meant was, “How can you say, ‘If You can’? What is this? All things are possible to him who believes. This is not a matter of ‘if I can, ’ but a matter of whether or not you believe. How dare you ask if I can! ” When God’s children pray, they should learn to lift up their eyes and say, “Lord! You can. ”

All things are possible to God;
To Christ, the power of God in me;
Now shed Thy mighty Self abroad,
Let me no longer live, but Thee;
Give me this hour in Thee to prove
The sweet omnipotence of love
Let me no longer live, but Thee;
Let me no longer live, but Thee;

I was enjoying this hymn this morning as I was reading Bro. Lee’s sharing in Crystallization-study of Romans Msg 9:

-see excerpt below:

“Hymn 535 by Charles Wesley. I like his hymns very much, but I had never paid much attention to this hymn until recently. There is a wonderful line in stanza 5 that says, “Let me no longer live, but Thee. ” It is marvelous that such a line is in this hymn on faith. Faith is to believe that God is and I am not. I do believe that Charles Wesley must have noticed this point. Otherwise, how could he have said in his hymn, “Let me no longer live, but Thee”? This is faith. Faith always annuls us and reveals Christ to us. ”

Just woke up with this song in mind. Searched and discovered it has a different tune which sounds better than the one I know. Indeed, Nothing is impossible with Our Great God. I recommend this to as many, who are going through different phases of their lives. May God meet you at the points of your needs. Amen.

So it does has same tune as 'Faith of our fathers' ???

Powerful hymn

All things are possible because I am all renewed, Christ now lives in me, it is no longer I

All things are indeed possible to me , because of Christ. I can do all things through Christ who helps me.

Powerful hymn! Indeed all things are possible to God.

All things are indeed possible to God of the universe, may his name be continually blessed

Amazing hymn, and so powerful!
