Have The Faith Of God!
We can be like Peter the Apostle sometimes. We love Jesus. We've seen the
mighty things He can do. And yet, when it comes to believing for the
supernatural, well frankly, we think it would take a miracle!
Some things we can accept but on the other hand some things are just too
big!
Take the time when Jesus cursed a fig tree for professing it had fruit on
it whaen it didn't. Twenty-four hours later when they once again passed by
the tree this is what happened.
Mark 11:21 Peter remembered what Jesus had said
to the tree on the previous day and exclaimed, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree
you cursed has withered and died!” 22 Then Jesus said to the
disciples, “Have faith in God!
Jesus didn't think it would take a miracle. He believed it took faith!
Jesus said to Peter - "Have faith in God!" Actually a better translation
would be, "Have the faith OF God!"
As Christians, Jesus has placed His faith inside all of us. We have the
same faith in us as Peter, John, Paul and all disciples of Jesus.
2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle
of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with
ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: 2
May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of
Jesus our Lord.
Our part is to utilize that faith in advancing the Kingdom plan in our lives.
What does God want done in your life right now, to show the Kingdom has
come to earth through you? What is His will in your life? Do you have sick
people to heal; hurting people to help; a mountain to move in someone's
life? Whatever it is God has already given you the power to do it through
Holy Spirit in you.
Have faith in God and "Have the faith of God!"
Best wishes for Grace and the Peace of Jesus.
Attlee.
