Discuss Mark 9 Page 10

How does one believe to receive from the Lord? Believe can refer to various applications. To believe in Jesus for salvation; means to rely on his promises, as we actively receive them into our lives. In our V.23, Jesus is saying, "All things are possible to him that believes" for them to happen. I have read that Drs. say faith is a contributing factor in healing, possibly any faith. However, a solid basis for faith i.e. the power and promises of Almighty God is more ehhective. I believe that the faith Jesus had and entrusted to us, ( Jude 1:3) should be received and spoken into action in order to be truly effective in any work of God.

V.23. Does one have to believe to be healed? Here are some thoughts from a layman. I think "believe" can refer to various applications. To believe in Jesus for salvation, means to trust / rely on his promises as we personally recieve them / Him into our lives. In our V.23, it seems Jesus is saying, "All things are possible to him that believeth" (trusts/relies on them to happen.) In 1 Cor.14:22, I think "believe" refers to believing in spiritual gifts, in addition to believing in Jesus as Savior. I have read that Doctors say, faith is a contributing factor in healing. Probably any faith. However; active faith in the present unlimited healing power of a caring almighty God is more effective. I believe that the faith of Jesus, entrusted to his own ( Jude 1:3), should be recieved and spoken into action, in order to be truly effective in any work of God.
