Faith as Small as a Mustard Seed

God is so God! He is the author and perfector of our lives. He is the Almighty God of all.

"You unbelieving and perverse generation," replied Jesus, "how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me." Jeuss rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment. Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, "why couldn't we drive it out?"

"Jesus replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain,'Move from here to there, and it will move'. Nothing will be impossible for you.
Matthew 17:17-21

Do you know how tiny a mustard seed is? it is approximately 2x smaller then a piece of rice. Imagine taking a piece or rice and cutting it in half, then cut it in half again, that would be a mustard seed.

The disciple were lacking in their faith, and didn't have even a small amount of faith to cast out demons. They doubted themselves.

Anything is possible with God, but with man everything seems impossible. Through our faith in Jesus Christ we can live in victory with the Blood of the Lamb. Our faith is the most powerful tool we have. Our faith in Jesus Christ can move mountians. Our faith can restore our marriages and broken relationships.

Faith is believing in something that you cannot see but you know without a shadow of a doubt in it's existence. It is like air: you cannot see air but you believe in the air you breath. God is the same, you may not see Him but you know through your faith, that He is real and that He does exist. Our faith is the most relevant aspects of our belief in Jesus Christ, because without our faith we have nothing. But with our faith we are Christian believers that stand firm on our conviction of Jesus Christ and our faith in His name. You must have faith in something or you have nothing. Some people have faith in their money, their job, there family, sports, religion, and even themselves. It is a natural course of human reasoning to believe in something and have faith in something, the question arises though as to what you have faith in?

My faith in Jesus has given me strength and encouragement. My faith in Jesus is one so stable in my life, that I stand firm without a doubt in God's promises and His provisions for my life. I trust in the Lord, I Love the Lord and I have faith in Him.

Through my faith in Jesus Christ I have demanded demonic spirits to leave my presence and rebuked them in the name of Jesus. Our fear can interfer with our belief, but if we stand on the confidence and foundation of Jesus Christ name then we can rebuke any entity that comes our way. We can protect our family and ourselves through our faith. We have the power within us through our faith in Jesus and knowing that the Holy Spirit lives within us to stand firm and strong against the enemy.

"Stand Firm on Your conviction of Jesus Christ and you can conquer the world."
