Faith!
Faith, which is a gift from God,
is the ability to believe the seemingly impossible things which God
has promised and is able to do for us. Our faith is not strong
enough to accomplish much for God. Faith comes by praying, fasting,
and hearing the word of God.
God grants the power and faith to
expect great things from him and do great things for his glory when
we sincerely draw near unto him, and seek his face and fellowship.
If we could have genuine faith,
even as small as a grain of mustard seed, and if we are in
partnership with God, nothing shall be impossible to us.
“And when they were come to the
multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him,
saying, Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic, and sore
vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation,
how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring
him hither to me. And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out
of him; and the child was cured from that very hour. Then came the
disciples to Jesus apart, and said, why could not we cast him out?
And Jesus said unto them, because of your unbelief: for verily I say
unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say
unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place; and it shall
remove, and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind
goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” Matthew 17: 14-21.
