You didn’t have enough faith ...........

“You didn’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I assure you, even if you had faith as small as a mustard seed you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.”Matthew 17:20 NLT

Big-time problems require big-time problem solvers. This is why we need to appropriate by faith the full resources available through our big-time God! God showed up big-time to part the waters of the Red Sea to save the children of Israel. He showed up biggest of all as Jesus Christ – Immanuel (God with us)-to break the bondage of sin and to reconcile man to God.

We have a tendency to put limits on God and His ability to empower us to do all things through Christ and His strength. As we grow into the fullness of Christ we will stop limiting God by our unbelief, unforgiveness, ungodly living, and failure to “ask, seek, and knock.”

When we get to know God through intimacy with Christ, God shows up big-time in our lives. The faith to move mountains of sin, illness, worry, depression, or doubt, is the birth right of all who receive the new birth in Christ.

As we trust and obey God, we receive the promised blessings of answered God- glorifying prayers, friendship with God through Christ, awareness of the love of God and of others, and Jesus’ joy. God is not only big-time; He is always on time to show up in exactly the right place, in the right way, and at the right time.

Father, thank you for your unfailing love and promises that are mine by faith; give me the faith to enjoy them now and forever.
In Jesus' name, Amen

Have a blessed day!
