Jesus' works always spoke for themselves. He had no problem proving His power to those around Him. If they doubted before, they went away having seen and heard the wonderful miracles only He is able to perform. In the world we live in many think they can call out His word and have Him serve them, but that is not going to work. We are His servants. We must simply learn to call upon Him who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we ask or even think according to the power that worketh in us and ask that His Holy Will be done in our lives and bow our will to His Will. He is the healer. He is the deliverer. He is the peace giver. We cannot have peace aside from Him and His will. We are not living the life we choose with Jesus as the condiment. We are living for Jesus. In Him, we live and move and have our being. Our lives are no longer our own, but we have been bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
The work we do is His work. If we need instructions on what to do, then we need to ask the Master Himself how to do it. He knows what will and what won't work. So this day, if your plans are not working out is it possible that they are your plans and not Jesus' plans? Just a thought.
In the following Scriptures, we can see that He is able to take our doubts and make us true believers as He did for those at Capernaum. He is as always AMAZING.
In Jesus,

Mar 2:1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
Mar 2:2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
Mar 2:3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
Mar 2:4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
Mar 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
Mar 2:6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Mar 2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
Mar 2:8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
Mar 2:9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
Mar 2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
Mar 2:11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
Mar 2:12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
