FAITH THAT GROWS

Matt 17:;20 (The Message) “Because you’re not yet taking God seriously,” said Jesus. “The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, ‘Move!’ And it would move. There is nothing you wouldn’t be able to tackle.”

Romans 12:3 says we’ve all been given a measure of faith and I know we all want it to grow so I pray this helps us today.

At some time we’ve probably all prayed for instant healings which are wonderful, but some healings come in stages as our faith grows and any progress is good.

John1:16 says we’ve all received grace upon grace, so we also receive healing upon healing which is part of the grace of God. When we receive even a small improvement in any area let’s also praise and thank God for it as it comes. Then we can move on in faith, encouraged by what we have received, hang on to it, and believe for the next stage. It’s one way our faith grows.

When the disciples asked Jesus to make their faith grow He told them to use the seed of faith that they had, that it would move mountains! A seed is a living thing but it’s Who our faith is in that’s important. He says just use the little bit of living faith in God that you have got and the rest will follow, believe and it will work! That’s good news.😊

Jesus taught us faith is voice activated. He told us to speak to our mountains, not talk about them. (Mark 11:23) He told us to tell them to be removed. Speak to the pain, to the disease and tell them to go, to be removed. Whenever I have a pain appear somewhere, I’ve learned to pounce on it immediately and tell it to be removed, I’m not having it, not taking it, don’t want it - Go! In the name of Jesus! 

So let’s keep speaking to the mountains, using the authority He’s given us, and do what He’s told us to do, using the living seed of faith that we have been given, however small it might seem.

James 2:26 …Faith without works is dead also. Faith that is spoken out our mouths is living! Faith that acts on what we’re speaking and believing for is living. Dead faith just thinks about it, but living faith speaks and acts on it! The more we act on it the more it grows.🙂

Romans 10:17 …faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Are we feeding our faith on teaching that is faith filled and faith building, filled with the grace of God? It’s our job to feed our faith with the right food. If we come away feeling built up and encouraged, then it’s good food. 

I pray we can encourage each other in our most holy faith as we grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus and what He taught us to do, giving Him all the glory. Amen.
