Morning Meditation: 6:59am Have Faith In God...

So I go to one of those Churches with the word "Faith" in it's the title...yup I'm one of those name it and claim it, blab it and grab it, health and wealth (what is the opposite of health and wealth and would you want that for someone you love?) gospel, hyper faith bunch.

So anyway in Mark 11:22 after seeing a supernatural demonstration of the power of God Jesus took the opportunity to tell His disciples how He did it.

"And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God." (kjv)

So I take from that the focus of our faith should in God, His person, His power and ability to keep His word.

Faith in what He has said in His written word and faith in what He is saying by His Spirit.

Now look at something else Jesus said about faith in Luke 17:6.

"And the Lord said, If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, Be uprooted and planted in the sea, and it would obey you. " (esv)

Now I just want to focus on 2 things "if you had faith" that's the big if and Jesus seems to be implying that faith has the power to change things in this world.

Notice in Luke 17:5 the disciples asked Him to increase their faith and Jesus' reply was if you really had faith you would and could say...

So do we need more faith or do we need to get some faith?

So I have to ask myself do I have faith in God? And when I open my mouth (in faith) is there a certain expectation that things will and can change, because I have faith in God.

So this is a good faith self test...have you moved any mountains lately?
