Matthew 19:26 and What it mean to all people.

Matthew 19:26 and what it mean to all people!!

          Good Day Everyone!! I would like to ask everyone a very important question.  What does this Bible verse Matthew 19:26 mean to all of you?  For me personally, I have to change my expectations and allow God to work things out for me.  Matthew 19:26 in the King James Version states 26.) But Jesus beheld them and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

          Next, this means that I will have to deny myself and follow Him.  I say this because I am guilty of saying something is going to happen.  When it does not happen for me, this means that God did not want me to have anything at man’s convenience and expense.  It is the Lord who will provide.

 Matthew’s Bible verse is very interesting.  In actuality, it is Jesus who is talking to His disciples and letting them know that man cannot tell God what to do.  It is the Lord who will bless you when the time is right.  It does not mean that we have to stop having faith in God and obtain the things that we need on our own accord.  One of our biggest problems is that some of us do not have patience.  We have to exercise patience and self-control when it comes to maintaining good behavior inside of a changing society.

          Mark 9:23 King James Version indicates; 23.) Jesus said unto him, if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.  Mark’s gospel is different because Jesus is saying that as long as a person believe in Him; as well as have faith, all things are possible for him who believes.  However, the disciples were trying to cast out a mute spirit from a little boy, and they were not successful at casting the spirit out.  It was also the father of the little boy who had disbelieved.

          Further, he pleaded with Jesus to help him with his unbelief because Jesus had healed the unbelieving man’s son.  Jesus commanded the deaf and dumb spirit to leave the child.  In addition, Jesus stated that this type of spirit can come out by prayer and fasting.  Mark 9:23 goes hand in hand with Matthew 19:26 because it has a whole lot to do with our belief in Him.  Both of these Bible verses would give anyone who does not believe in Jesus Christ to immediately believe.

          Also, I want to say that I believe in Jesus Christ even though I sin from time to time.  According to Romans 3:23; it says: For all have sinned and has fallen short of the glory of God.  I will always believe in God.  I would like for all of you to please pray for me because I suffer from multiple health problems.  Therefore, I am taking a total of 23 prescription medications on a daily basis.  I am a member of Fort McKinley United Methodist Church in Dayton, Ohio.

          Luke 18:27 in the King James Bible says: And he said: The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.  Honestly, Luke’s gospel Bible verse is different, but similar.  It is simply saying that with man, it is impossible, but it is definitely possible with God.  I am placing emphasis on these three Bible verses because I will admit that I am working the 12 Steps of recovery on a daily basis.  Do you know that the 12 Steps are inside of the Bible?

          In Summary, these three Bible verses should give anyone hope.  I will admit that I used to have an anger management problem for 8 years.  When I was living in Charlotte, NC; I used to attend a group called Double Trouble in Recovery.  This class was held on Tuesday and Thursday from 6:30pm to 8:15pm.  It helped me to manage my troubled emotions because I also have a mental illness.

          Furthermore, I am trying to put things in perspective and allow God to work inside of me with the Holy Spirit.  I feel at this time that I am getting better at managing my behavior.  My belief in the Lord right now is very strong. 

          Finally, I can say that I read the Bible and pray every single day because it enables me to stay strong.  The Gospels that are inside of the Bible helps everyone to read and listen to the verses.  Listen to yourself read out loud.  Please pray before you read the Bible.  Please ask God to talk to you.  My name is Anthony Hopkins and I love all of you.  I believe in God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.  God Bless all of you.  Remember to please pray for me.  Remember that the Lord will always make it possible for anyone to believe in Him.
