In Mark 6:5...We are told that Jesus could do no mighty works at Nazareth. This is one of the most mysterious and peculiar passages in the bible. Jesus is
God right? But how is it that He was not able to do "mighty works" in certain places? One thing...Unbelief.
In terms Christian principles, Faith has everything to do with how effective Your requests and prayers are to Father God.
It is not suprising that Jesus almost always preceded
His miracles with a caveat. ...sayings such as in Matthew 9:29 "According to your faith let it be to you.” Also consider the story of the gentile woman
who begged Jesus to heal Her daughter in Matthew 15...“O woman, †great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.”
Jesus also would tell His patients why His miracles worked...
“Daughter, be of good cheer; †your faith has made you well. †Go in peace.”
and from Luke 9...the story of the sinful woman... †“Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
I know Your all smart. You know the common denominator of the above examples. Yes, You guessed it...Faith.
Like kryptonite to Superman, doubt is to prayer. Jesus,
It all starts with this one Word
