Thank you for that reminder to hold on to our faith for even seemingly impossible situations we have taken to the Lord in prayer ... because even a small seed of faith in God's hands can accomplish exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ever ask, hope, or imagine!

When we hear that scripture that if we have faith as small as a mustard seed we can move mountains, it seems so practical and possible for us as believers. A mustard seed seems so small, at first it doesn't seem like a challenge! We know that God can do all things, Luke 1:37," nothing is impossible for God" and we believe that He is able! Yet through our storms and valleys of life, it is so easy to take our eyes off of the cross and look around at the darkness that engulfs us. At these times, our faith almost shrinks to nothing if we focus on the valleys of despair. I have learnt that it is through these valley-like experiences that the Lord builds so much faith within us, as we cling to the cross and the hope of victory in JESUS. If we get distracted and turn our eyes from the cross, we allow the enemy to steal the HOPE and FAITH hidden in our hearts, and we fall victim to the devil's schemes. Our God reminds us of what we can do with faith the size of a mustard seed, we CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS! Jesus has given us POWER in our FAITH !

The POWER of our faith is also seen in Ephesians 6:16. It is our weapon warfare!! We need to take up our shield of faith which allows us to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Faith will shield/protect us as we fight battle for the LORD here on earth!

The Lord remind us that " Everything is possible for him who believes" Mark 9:23. As Christians we sometimes forget the significance and POWER of our faith. Our faith in God truly fuels our Christian journey and helps us rid the seeds of doubt that the enemy tries to distract us with! Our entire walk as Christians is one of FAITH, 2 Corinthians 5:7 " We live by faith, not by sight"

Let us be encouraged by what the LORD has done already in our lives, and allow these things to build our FAITH....Let us also continue to trust HIM to fulfill the desires of our hearts as we wait diligently on Him......this is a time when we are called to be a FAITH generation!!
