SOMEONE IS WAITING ON YOU! – Part 1

MEMORIZE: “Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.” Mark 9:27

SCRIPTURE READING: Mark 9:17-26

“Then one of the crowd answered and said, "Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. "And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not." He answered him and said, "O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me." Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth. So He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood. "And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us." Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!" Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him.”

EXPOSITION: 

Mark 9 recounts the story of a father who brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus and asked for help. According to the scripture, Jesus rebuked the spirit and commanded it to come out. Simple enough, we think. But in verse 26, Jesus was in a position to undo everything with unbelief...or simply trust. “And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.” What a situation! The man brings his son to Jesus for help. Jesus rebukes the spirit, casts it out, and now the boy looks dead! From a purely natural perspective, it looked as though Jesus had just made the situation worse. You’ve probably felt the same way where laying hands on the sick is concerned. Maybe you’ve laid hands on someone, and they haven’t looked healed. Or, maybe you’re not even willing to risk laying hands on someone because you aren’t sure they will be healed. Well, settle the issue here and now and forevermore. When Jesus was faced with what was happening to that little boy, He had more faith in the Word of God than He had in His natural senses. He wasn’t moved by physical appearances. He simply trusted that what He had said was done. He spoke and the boy was healed.

PRAYER POINT:
