TOPIC : DEALING WITH THE SPIRIT OF UNBELIEF
TEXT MARK 6:22-28
[22]And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
[23]And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
[24]And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
[25]And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
[26]And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.
[27]And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
[28]And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.
High prophet John the Baptist lost his head to the request of a delinquent girl.
He lost it when he lost his faith.
Remember, John sent his disciples to ask Jesus if He was actually the Lord or whether he should expect another.
Our Lord made effort to reassure him that all was well, that the only problem was his unbelief and that he should refuse to permit offence to enter into his spirit.
John was greater than Elijah and Elisha in spiritual ranking yet a troop could neither subdue Elijah nor Elisha.
If only you believe, nothing shall be impossible to you.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
