Faith

Faith is really important to have in one’s Christian life. Scriptures says that when you believe or have faith you can move the mountains into the sea. The way I see it God is so powerful he can do anything he wants, but he’ll only do it when we believe he can do it. Look in the Gospels. The majority of everyone who was healed believes and because of that Jesus healed him or her. One instinctive example was the woman who bled for 10-12 years and doctors couldn’t do anything. She heard Jesus was in town and went to go see him. She desperately wanted to be healed and when she saw Jesus she knew he could. The amount of faith she had was incredible. She thought to herself if I could just touch a small piece of his cloak then I will be healed. When she had done this, Jesus felt the power leave him and he got up wondering who had touched him. The disciples were looking at him like he was crazy because half the town was trying to touch him. He knew though. The woman came back and Jesus said to her it’s neither my power nor my father’s power but it was your faith that has healed you. This is the faith that we need in our lives. The moment you doubt in your spiritual life that’s an open window for the devil and his demons to come in and take over. Don’t give him that window. Matthew 21:21-22 says

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to the mountains, go, throw yourself into the sea, and it will be done. (22) If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.
