What Faith Have you?
Mark 11:23/25 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”
God is asking this, because in so many of us are lacking in both a closer walk & connection with Him, and true faith & belief in His living word. So why aren't we? Is it our teaching that is hold us back? After all the Bible is not just a book with 2 halves in the Old testament [OT] & New Testament [NT]. You can’t have one without the other. You have it in it’s entirety, not for us to cherry pick only the bits we like!
Coming back to the mountain, it is both literal & metaphorical. It can be Cancer; an addiction; a worry; any disease. When asking remember .. “does not doubt in their heart” .. which means your stepping out in faith. Therefore you ..”but believes that what they say will happen” .. “ it will be done for them” .. I have almost frombeing baptised physically & spiritually by the Holy spirit, I have said “have faith & believe”. [NKJV] Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
Just because we don’t see the Air we breath, does not stop us from breathing. All I ask in sharing is that you will start your closer walk with God [the one true living], and he will stir inside you greater faith in His and the good news that is His living Word.
A Definition of Faith
Faith is God operating in the soul by His
Son and transforming the natural into the
supernatural. Faith is the glorious knowledge
of a personal presence within you, changing
you from strength to strength and glory to
glory until you get to the place where you
walk with God, and God Thinks and
speaks through you by the power of the
Holy spirit.
Faith is evidence by a perfect peace in
the heart and complete conviction in the
soul the Gods word is true and, He will do it.
[John Lindell]
So when praying don’t be like a piece of drift wood at sea. Being blown hither and by the wind and waves. It is time to stand on Gods word! If you either believe in His word or you don’t. God wants us to stand tall in the faith and demand it ~ to complete healing ~ Cancer gone ~ addictions gone ~ Hearing restored. Remember these words from Christ Jesus .. “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father” [John 14:12 NIV] .. Not well you never know or maybe kinda sorter. But .. “they will do even greater things” .. So stand on His living Word and expect with your heart.
