Faith — “Upon hearing this, the apostles said to Jesus, “Lord, You must increase our measure of faith!” Jesus responded, “If you have even the smallest measure of faith, it would be powerful enough to say to this larged tree, ‘My faith will pull you up by the roots and throw you into the sea,’ and it will respond to your faith and obey you.” (Luke 17:5-6, The Passion Translation)
Just like the disciples, we can ask for more faith. Sometimes we ask people to pray for us to have more faith or for a faith like theirs. Yet Jesus told His followers that they already had the faith they needed. Too often, we doubt what we already have. Maybe instead of more faith, what we really need is a truer understanding of what we already have and what’s available to us!
Jesus also told them, “It was because of your lack of faith. I promise you, if you have faith inside of you no bigger than the size of a small mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move away from here and go over there,’ and you will see it move! There is nothing you couldn’t do!” (Mathew 17:20, TPT)
Let’s remember that it’s Daddy God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit who give us our measure of faith. But it’s up to us to use it!
Lets Pray:
Thank You for the faith You've already given us - even when we don't recognize it or understand it fully. Help us stop asking for more faith and start exercising the faith we already have. Open our eyes to see that we're not lacking faith; we're lacking understanding of what's available to us. Holy Spirit, teach us how to exercise the mountain-moving, tree-uprooting faith that You've already placed inside us. We don't need a bigger measure - we need a truer understanding! In Jesus' name, Amen.
Today’s Declaration:
I stop asking for more faith and start exercising the faith I already have. Daddy God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit have given me everything I need. My mustard seed faith can move mountains and uproot trees. I will not doubt what I already possess. Instead, I will learn what my faith can do and put it to work. There is nothing I couldn't do when I understand and exercise the faith that's already inside me.
Be a Blessing,
Sir Gregory
