FAITH MOVES MOUNTAINS

Hey steemfam hope you are all doing good. Today morning I was reading my bible and I discovered that faith moves mountains most of the times when we are faced with problems we focus on them for so long so God becomes small actually we even start thinking that the problem is so huge for God to handle and we can do this on our own , some people accept the problem and live comfortably with it but am here to tell that No do not get comfortable with that problem Jesus is the answer to your needs . Honestly your problem is an illusion but Jesus and his kingdom are the mountains when you read the book of Daniel 2:35-45 there is a stone cut out of the mountain without hands that grows into a mountain that fills the whole earth it refers to Christ and His Kingdom okay lets look at it in this way God the Father is the Mountain, which Jesus came out of then Christ Kingdom then grows into a Mountain that fills the whole
earth. Most Christians go through hard ships and a few problems but when we overcome the problem we finally realize God's power and His love upon us

An important lesson about faith is given to us in the book of Matthew

a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. “So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.” Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it 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. “However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

In this verse Jesus meant that we do not need that much faith to move a mountain because a mustard seed is a small round see of a mustard plant so that small faith that you have in God is going to cause God to move in the situation . we can also see that the disciples had the faith in themselves instead of God , they asked "why could we not cast it out " so they failed to notice that they cannot do this on their own but with the power of God
The faith in God's sympathy , mercy and grace brings close Jesus and his kingdom into our life

What can you do to have Jesus and his kingdom into yourlife

forgive others when they do you wrong the bible says forgive others so also God can forgive your sins . when there is unforgiveness in your heart God cannot hear your prayers at all so meaning the devil will obviously use that weakness to keep you in bondage , some times its hard to forgive but try as much as possible to forgive because its not the person your seeing that has hurt you but its the devil hiding behind the person so hate the devil and love the person
focus on Jesus not the problem this can be illustrated well in the book of Matthew14:29-31 where Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid and he began to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt? Peter was able to walk on water when he focused on Jesus but when he changed his focus to the strong wind fear developed and he sank so that is how we also sink deeper in problems if we do not let God take control
call upon God with humility , God loves the humble spirits but he detastes the pride ones . In the book of Matthew Gods says blessed are the humble for they shall receive what God has promised its Just open that when you bow before God your life shall be a living testimony i mean who receives God's promises and stays the same .
Have a clean heart , the holy spirit sits in holy places and his is the hand of God so make sure your heart is pure do not keep anger , jealous, worry , fear , immorality and filthiness out of your hearts because if you do trust me your pushing God away from your life so you won't posses his kingdom

OUR FAITH DOES NOT REST IN THE WISDOM OF MEN BUT IN THE POWER OF GOD
