The enemy of our souls is a liar. He will tell you your situation is hopeless, that it is over, and this is just not true. There are many men and women whose stories tell us that nothing is ever hopeless with Jesus.
*The man born blind from birth was healed by Jesus. He instantly received his sight.
When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. And He said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated Sent.) So he went and washed, and came back seeing.-John 9:6-7(NKJV)
When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.-Mark 5:27-29 (NKJV)
*The man at the pool of Bethesda who hadn’t walked for 38 years was immediately healed by Jesus.
Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.-John 5:8-9 (NKJV)
*Malchus’ ear was instantly restored by Jesus after Peter cut it off with a sword.
And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. But Jesus answered and said, “Permit even this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.-Luke 22:50-51 (NKJV)
*The man laid at the Temple Gate called Beautiful who was lame from his mother’s womb was instantly healed.
Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them-walking, leaping, and praising God. And all the people say him walking and praising God.-Acts 3:6-9 (NKJV)
*The man at Lystra who had been a cripple from his mother’s womb was instantly healed after hearing Paul preach.
And in Lystra, a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked.-Acts 14:8-10 (NKJV)
The He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.-Luke 7:14-15 (NKJV)
Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with amazement.-Mark 5:41-42 (NKJV)
*Tabitha was raised from the dead.
Then Peter arose and went with them. When he had come, they brought him to the upper room. And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them. But Peter put them all out, and knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, he presented her alive. And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.-Acts 9:39-42 (NKJV)
All of these will tell you it is not hopeless. Nothing is ever hopeless. It isn’t over until you are in the ground, and then Lazarus would tell you otherwise.
All things are possible to him who believes. Keep fighting. Keep believing. Don’t give up. God is faithful. Your answer is found in JESUS.
Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”-Mark 9:23
