Alright thank you very much, and hello again dear radio friends. How in the world are you? You doing all right today? I trust so, bless your heart. I’ve just been praying that God might fill my heart and mind and voice and words with His love and His truth and His power. Some body’s hurting so bad this minute and you need somebody to express God’s love to you, oh I want to do that. God loves you and so do I. Somebody’s is perplexed and wondering what step to take, and you need guidance, and I want to assure you that, “If any man lack wisdom let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally upbraided not, it shall be given”. God will guide you if you ask Him and trust Him. Someone is needing the strength just to live, you don’t know whether you can make it through the day. God will give you His strength, “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall run and not faint”. Beloved, Jesus your blessed Lord is enough. You are complete in Him. That means He’s absolutely enough for you, in every situation of life. Trust Him, trust Him, trust Him today. Well, we’re looking at Mark chapter 9 and the disciples have just asked the Lord Jesus, “Why could not we cast him out?”, and He says, as recorded in Matthew’s Gospel, “Because of your unbelief”. The what if syndrome, what if nothing happens. The refusal to commit yourself absolutely to the power of God, no matter what may happen.

Commitment, we’ll find some other reasons why they had difficulties as we on through this ninth chapter of Mark, but then He said in Mark 29, “This kind”, that means this kind of demon, “can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting”. Matthew also reports that same statement. There is a battle to be won, and it’s a spiritual battle. As you know, Paul says it as recorded in Ephesians 6, “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”. Your battle is not with people, it’s with the, it’s with the evil forces of Satan, who for this brief time, has been given free reign in our world. He’s the Prince of the Power of the air, and so the only way to win that battle is not by human effort, but by seeking God, “Prayer and fasting”, Jesus said. Why did He add fasting? It is a certainty that if you will, if you will deny yourself either of food or sleep or any other normal activity, your perception of God will be sharpened, thereby because you’re paying more attention to Him of necessity.

I remember a letter that was read in my hearing some years ago, I’ve always remembered it, because it was the story of what happened to some dear missionaries who were aware of the fact that their work was really fruitless and things weren’t going well. As I recall, these were missionaries in some part of the great land of India, and they had a little chapel and they had services that were announced regularly, and they had some little smattering of people who came and attended, but things weren’t going well. Even the people who came to the services had refused to forsake their own ancient religions and although there were some professing Christians, they were not living for God, they were living in sin, and the missionaries themselves work at cross purposes. Resentments of various kinds had flared up between them and they weren’t doing well either. Finally, someone said let’s set aside a week to seek God. The thing the triggered this incidentally, was the arrival of a Christian sadhu, sadhu is the word for holy man in India, and this man had been converted and brought to Christ, and so now he was a Christian sadhu, and he came in their midst as a visitor and just shining for the Lord. He didn’t say much, he didn’t criticize anything or anybody, he was just full of the Spirit of God and in himself was a silent rebuke to their cold hearts, and that triggered some interest in spiritual renewal.
