Unbelief is the absence of faith!
Here is a father whose son is demon possessed, and he wants his son healed. He had taken him to Jesus’ disciples, and they couldn’t deliver him. So now he’s talking to Jesus Himself. In Mark 9:22 he says to Jesus, “Ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us”. Verse 23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Do you “believe” today?
Believe means to accept something as true! Belief doesn’t require proof, just “acceptance”!
As we look at this passage of scripture, there is a man here who “believes” but at the same time has doubts! He’s saying a lot in this statement. Mark 9:24 And straightway the father cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
Do you see yourself? We have to get to the place that we believe God totally!
