Mountain moving faith!
Matthew 21:21-22
So Jesus answered and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done. And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
Encouraging Words
How is it that eleven uneducated, simple men could so radically change the world? How is it that throughout the history of the Church great and miraculous things have been done by such common people no different than me? Through faith! Proper faith! Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and the things that He has the power to do. If we have true, spiritual faith we will not ask for things that will glorify and exemplify ourselves. We will ask for things that will glorify and exemplify God. Even the apostles, with their great faith and works for the Lord, did not ask to be spared from persecution and martyrdom. They did not ask for wealth or prestige. They asked to be used by God to build His kingdom. Is this not the same behavior that we are seeing from our Christian brothers and sisters in the Middle East who refuse to renounce their faith? Should I do any less? Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
