The enemy is always going to plant a “Why bother?” in the face of your “It’s possible.”

Matthew 9.29

According to your faith, it will be done unto you.

Mark 5:35 (NIV) 35While Jesus was still

speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus,

the synagogue ruler. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher any more?”

Mark 5:36 (NIV) 36Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, “Don’t be afraid; just

believe.”

Believe in your beliefs and doubt your doubts.

Why are you calling a situation dead that God sees

as an opportunity for a resurrection?

Mark 5:37 (NLT) 37Then Jesus stopped the

crowd and wouldn’t let anyone go with him except

Peter, James, and John (the brother of James).

Mark 5:38–39 (NLT) 38When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus

saw much commotion and weeping and wailing.

39He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and

weeping? The child isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.”

Mark 5:40–41 (NLT) 40The crowd laughed at him. But he made them all leave,

and he took the girl’s father and mother and his three disciples

into the room where the girl was lying.

41Holding her hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means “Little girl, get up!”

Mark 5:42 (NLT) 42And the girl, who was twelve

years old, immediately stood up and walked around! They were

overwhelmed and totally amazed.
