The Healing Of The Epileptic
Matthew 17:14-21; Mark 9:14-29)

After his transfiguration, Jesus de-
Scended the mountain and came upon a
Crowd including some of the disciples and
The grieved father of an epileptic. When he
Saw Jesus, the father fell upon his knees
And begged our Lord to help his suffering
Son, for the disciples had been unable to do 
So.

Jesus said with sorrow, "O faithless gen-
Eration, how long am I to be with you? How
Long am I to bear with you? Bring him to 
Me." They brought the epileptic to him. The
Lord, knowing that the father was not sure
Of his divine power turned to him and said,
"If you can believe, all things are possible
to him that believes". The father under-
standing the meaning of the Lord's words
cried out with tears, "Lord, I believe; help
you mine unbelief". Now, at the word of
Jesus the boy was immediately cured.

Later, the disciples questioned Christ - 
Why had they failed? Christ answered, ex-
Pressing his sorrow, "Because of your little
Faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have
Faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will
Say to this mountain, "Move hence to Yonder
Place, and it will move; and nothing will be
Impossible unto you".

I know who can fulfill my needs


"The earth was without form, and void…" (Genesis 1:2); today 
it is a multinational conglomerate. Remember when there was 
a void in your life, seemed to be no way up or out, and then 
suddenly a way was cleared. What about when you were down to 
your last dime and didn't know where the next one was coming 
from; it came from somewhere. When you were at your wits end, 
the wolves were on your heels and you had reached the end of 
your rope, somehow you rose above it and lived to talk, even 
to laugh about it. You may think you did it on your own, by 
yourself, without help from anyone, but you didn't realize 
where the help was coming from. So the next time you find 
yourself in need, ask, who can make something out of nothing?


God is always capable of making something our of nothing
