O ye of little faith

So Jesus said to them, "... 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." (Mat 17:20)

Ever ask? "How can I move this mountain? Haven't I got this little faith - as small as a mustard seed? Why can't I do it?"...

We all have that faith, that complete portion of faith. Not a little mustard seed faith, but the fullness of faith in Christ. But our mind finds it hard to comprehend... We don't have a faith problem but a knowledge problem. Our knowledge level determines how much we use our faith. What then is that knowledge? The knowledge of what?

Christ divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue... (2Pe 1:3) Faith is of Christ, so the knowledge of Christ. Now faith is a gift, a gift of the Spirit, it is not of our own. (1Co 12:9) And faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. (Rom 10:17) As we hear His word, through revelation our knowledge of Him increases, so is our level to use our faith. The same when we pray in the Spirit, keeping ourselves in His love, (Jud 1:20-21) beholding Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. (Heb 12:2) All that we need is knowing Him, know His love, draw near to Him everyday, seek Him first... He will remove every mountain in our life. Hear Him!
