Jesus
said, "Everything is
possible to one who has faith".
Mark
9:23
In the context of the Father's
will all things are possible.
His rule is over all ; but
He reigns in love , So many
things which His children
think they need or desire
He withholds or delays for
a greater good.
It is put into the mind
and heart what path a child
of the Father should take.
If that child of the Father
responds in faithful action,
all that is needful is provided
to accomplish that which
he was given to do. He must
always act in faith once
the conviction is received
and accepted as cause for
action and commitment.
The Father's love is infinite
and it is His good pleasure
to give to each child whatever
is needful for his well-being
. And His Kingdom is constituted
of people of thousands of
races and tongues equally
dear as the most precious
children of His love.
No petition to the Father
should ever be offered without
reference to this profound
and challenging truth, namely,
that His love in each is
contained in His love for
all. When a child of the
Father prays for another
he brings blessing upon
himself as well as on the
one for whom he prays ;
for does he not present
himself to the Father in
pleading for his brother
? So must he pray in his
prayers for his own interests
that the whole community
of the Father's Kingdom
is enriched by the request.
Then it will work for the
good of all.
And recall that I continually
stand before the Father
interceding for the children
of his love whom He has
given Me to love and save.
How, then, can the desires
and prayers of the rightly
orientated and committed
in love not issue in fulfilment?
