| Matt. 17:19-20 |
"Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said,
'Why could we not cast him out?' So Jesus said to them, 'Because of your
unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you
will say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move; and
nothing will be impossible for you.' "
See (Unbelief - Was An Offense To Christ)
Example: Matt. 9:20-22
"And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for
twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment; for she said
to herself, 'If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.' But Jesus
turned around, and when He saw her He said, 'Be of good cheer, daughter;
your faith has made you well.' And the woman was made well from that
hour."
See (Armor Of God) |
| Matt. 18:18-20 |
"Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. For where two or three are gatheref together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." |
Israel insight
 |
Num. 15:38-39 instructs "Speak to the children of
Israel: Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout
their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners. And
you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the
commandments of the Lord and do them..." The Lord told the woman her faith
made her well - not the touching of His garment. |
| Rom. 1:16-17 |
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it
is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first
and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from
faith to faith; as it is written, 'The just shall live by faith.' "
See (We Believe Unto Life) |
| Rom. 10:17 |
"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the
word of God." |
| 1 Cor. 12:4, 9 |
"Now there are *diversities of gifts, (allotments or
various kinds) but the same Spirit...to another faith by the same Spirit...."
See (The Holy Spirit's Gifts) |
| Eph. 2:8-10 |
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and
that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." |
| Heb. 11:1 |
"Now faith is the *substance (realization) of things
hoped for, the *evidence (Or confidence) of things not seen." |
4-26-90 poem:
 |
Faith as a mustard seed I desire to know,
Jesus, You planted it, now I want it to grow;
Branches reaching the sky, it grows as a tree,
So mountains will move in the name of Thee.
I long for Your plan for me on this earth,
To be shown to me thus complete my rebirth;
I'll work in the gifts You've given to me,
And cause the whole world Your splendor to see.
Oh, Jesus, only You, and the Father know
When Your Holy Spirit will tell me it is so;
That I may replenish, in the name of Jesus
All Your creations so that evil ceases.
To give right to creatures wronged in this life,
And touch Your children to erase all their strife;
Then reach out to water with the faith of You,
And by the name of Jesus see it run fresh and new.
