Mark 9:22-24 The spirit often throws him into the fire or into water, trying to kill him. Have mercy on us and help us, if you can.”23 “What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.”24 The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”



1. We must be People of Faith
Hebrews 11:1 Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.

“Hebrews 11:6 And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”

 2. We must be People Who Tarry
Matthew 26:38 (KJV) Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

Psalm 27:14 Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous.  Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.

3.  We must be People of Mystery
1 Timothy 3:9 They must be committed to the mystery of the faith now revealed and must live with a clear conscience

Ephesians 3:3  As I briefly wrote earlier, God himself revealed his mysterious plan to me.

1 Corinthians 2:7 No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God—his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began.


4. We must be People that become like Children

Ephesians 5:1 Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.

Matthew 18:2-4 Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. 3 Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. 4 So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

1 Peter 2:2  Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment
