do i have enough faith?


Jesus disciples were actually not that much different from you and me.
Please let me explain why I say that, because you are possibly not agreeing with me at the moment???

We tend to look at people in history with the end in view. We see how they finished up. What they achieved etc.
When we look at the special disciples Jesus had you see some of them referred to as Apostles.
You see what they achieved in ministry over a lifetime. And most of us feel that they can't match that.
I want you to know today you actually do match up.
If you didn't or had no way of matching them, then Jesus would not have picked you...

One day these same guys came to Jesus and said this...

"Increase our Faith"

And if you keep reading, Jesus didn't pray from them that it would happen as they asked.
He didn't wave His hand over them or breath on them or prophecy faith over them.
He actually ignores the request, because in essence it was silly...

Jesus knew that they already had a measure of faith in their lives.
And that measure was all they needed to grow in their faith.
He actually says to them that they only need faith the size of a mustard seed. And seed is an important part of what He said here.
Because in that moment they had a seed of faith. And by nature, seeds need something to happen to them to make them into something bigger or more.

Right now, inside of you as you read this Simple Thought, there is a seed of faith in you.
The issue is not how big or how much there is.
The issue is what you do next with it.

If you do nothing, then you still have faith.
It will just stay the size that it is right now.
If you do something with that seed of faith, it will grow.
It is a spiritual law that God is bound to I believe.
You have all the faith you need right now for all you need to achieve. For all you need face. For all you need to succeed in your walk with Christ.
When you go in the faith you have, God promises to expand it and grow it. It will appear after the fact that your faith has actually grown.

So if you are waiting for faith to reach a certain level in your life...stop doing that. I don't want you to be disappointed.
I want you to know that you have enough faith right now.

Come on my friend.
Take God at His Word and go for it this week.
Let faith arise because have risen to it.
Let faith arise and grow because you trust Him as you step into your future and your freedom...

Something to think about...
