WHAT KIND OF FAITH IS THAT?
ANSWER: MOUNTAIN MOVING FAITH; THAT'S WHAT KIND. HMMM....
Mark 11: 22-26 King James Version
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them]. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
The best kind of faith that any of us can have is God like faith. But how do we get it you might ask. That's a very good question and I have the answer for you. Now I'll be honest...it doesn't sound powerful or prophetic; but this is good medicine and it will give life to your situation.
In the above passage, Jesus says if you say unto a mountain to be removed and be cast into the sea, and believe it in your heart, it will happen. I kept trying to imagine myself telling that to a mountain. I couldn't do it. A mountain (itself) has never been my concern. It's funny now, but I just couldn't understand it. Soon I came to realize that he meant a problem and that (I could speak to it like it was a mountain (a big solid massive heavy roadblock) that needed to be moved. Then I saw it.
My next challenge was God like faith. I had to think about God and who He is and what He can do. I know that everything God spoke when the world came into being happened. Everything God said would happen, happened. Everything God intended happened. God will have His way and He can do anything. So Jesus said: Have God like faith. Could I do that? It all boiled down to if I believed that I could. I remember my first ride on a bike with two wheels. My father kept telling me that I could ride it. I heard it so much that I believed it. Soon, I was riding a bike. Why? Because I believed it, I envisioned myself doing it, I wanted to; I had seen a lot of other kids doing it.
As far as my having the faith of God is concerned. As I explained from this perspective it would be easy for me. I know personally that God is real, I know personally that He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. I know He won't leave me or forsake me. I know that God is Love. I know God is Light. I know that Gods' Word is alive. I know that my redeemer lives. I know the greater One lives on the inside of me. I know that I am accepted in the Beloved.
SO DO I HAVE CONFIDENCE?
Yes, I have confidence.
DID I LIKE THE SITUATION THAT I GOT MYSELF INTO?
No, I didn't like it, but I'm patient and thankful that I know someone who can fix it.
Having God like faith is easy. It's the same confidence that I have when I make a purchase at a store using a credit card knowing it's going to be approved only I don't have to rely on a bank or a computer; I am in right standing; I've got Carte Blanche.
Am I arrogant?
No, I'm not. I'm more thankful than anyone can imagine, but I understand faith, God like faith. I've got a revelation on it and I wanted to share it with you and have you to think on it.
