The purpose is based on the passage from Mark 9:17, in which a desperate father sought the Lord Jesus to free his son.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #003366;\">He Didn\u2019t Give Up:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><em>&#8220;<span id=\"en-NKJV-24556\" class=\"text Mark-9-17\">Then one of the crowd answered and said, \u201cMaster, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit.\u00a0 <\/span><span id=\"en-NKJV-24557\" class=\"text Mark-9-18\">And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.\u201d (Mark 9:17-18)<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;The father brought his son to Jesus\u2019 disciples, but they could not help him. So he insisted, he didn\u2019t give up. He could have thought this: \u2018I already took my son there to the disciples of this Jesus, and they didn\u2019t do anything for him.\u2019 But no, even though Jesus\u2019 disciples could not help him, he went straight to Jesus,&#8221; said Bishop Renato Cardoso.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #003366;\">God Knows Your Pain:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He highlights that many of the miracles that the Lord Jesus performed in the Bible occurred through the intercession of a father or mother. He also cites the case of the Canaanite woman and that of Jairus\u2019 daughter.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #003366;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThis shows that God knows the pain of a father and a mother. He knows your pain, but he needs you to express faith, as this father did. God can only work with the raw material of faith. If God doesn\u2019t have faith, He won\u2019t do anything because He needs whoever approaches Him to believe He exists. Without faith, it is impossible to please God, but everything is possible for those who believe. So, we need to express our faith so that Jesus can take action,\u201d he explained.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Purpose of Faith:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On that occasion, the Lord Jesus taught that the secret to overcoming spiritual problems like that of that boy is only through fasting and prayer, which is why the disciples could not cast out that demon.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #003366;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cWe are going to fast and pray for our family on Sunday, March 10th. Whichever family member is in trouble, we will offer fasting and prayer on their behalf and present our vow for the family. The vow generates the new creature. When you mark the altar with your faith materialized through your vows, God has to do something\u201d, Bishop guarantees.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Therefore, this Sunday, March 10, 2024, do like these parents and join us in this purpose of faith for your family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, March 10, 2024, there will be a \u201cMaster, I Brought You My Son\u201d event.
