As taught by Bruce Mahone, 20250119.  All rights reserved.

Verse Listing and Notes

Mark 9:14-27              If you can believe.

Children:
Matthew 15:22-28     Canaanite woman believed for daughter.

Demented persons:
Luke 4:33-36               Man with unclean spirit in synagogue.

Dead people:
Acts 9:36-42                Peter prayed, Dorcas raised.

Two types of believing:
Matthew 9:22            Woman with issue of blood healed.
Job 3:25                      Fear brought disaster. Later, believing restored all.

Synchronized life:
Mark 11:23-24           Do not doubt in heart.
Matthew 12:34          Out of the abundance of the heart.
Romans 8:35-39        Persuaded – confession (practical key).
Hebrews 4:2              Mixed with believing.
II Corinthians 10:3-5 Every thought to the obedience of Christ – Synchronized with God’s Word.

What we confess with our mouths will eventually make it into our hearts.  What we believe in our hearts determines what we receive in our daily living.  We need to synchronize our words, our actions, and our thoughts with God’s Word in order to walk in the deliverance to which God has called us.
