October 8 – Seed of Faith
Dear Marisa,
«For verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.»
(Matthew 17:20)
Someone once said that the reason I can live like I do is because I have special faith. But, you know, that’s just not true. I don’t have special faith. God has given me the same measure of faith He’s given to you and every other believer. The only reason my faith looks like it works better is because I use it!
If you’ve been living in the shadow of a mountain, waiting for God to give you some kind of special faith, make a change today. Step out and put the measure of faith you have to work moving the spiritual, physical, mental, or financial obstacles Satan has brought against you.
Romans 12:3 says God has dealt to every man the measure of faith. Believe Him! Step out in faith about that faith! Say, «Heavenly Father, I thank You that through faith in Jesus Christ, You have shared Your nature and Your Spirit with me. I am grateful for the measure of faith imparted to me as a believer.
«I make the decision today to walk in that faith. To put it to work on the situations around me. I commit myself to operate in mountain-moving faith, for I know that it is impossible to please You without it (Heb. 11:6).
«As I plant this faith and water it with Your Word (Rom. 10:17), I expect it to grow and overcome the mountains in my life and in the lives of those for whom I intercede.
«Thank You, Father, that as I do this, nothing shall be impossible to me! In Jesus’ Name. Amen.»
