In reading Mark 11:22-24 it says, “Have faith in God! If you have faith in God and don’t doubt, you can tell this mountain to get up and jump into the sea, and it will. Everything you ask for in prayer will be yours, if you only have faith.” (CEV)
Faith opens the door to miracles. If I study the Bible and history, I’ll find that every time God moves on earth and does a miracle, it’s because somebody believes.
Jesus said in Mark 11:22-24, “Have faith in God! If you have faith in God and don’t doubt, you can tell this mountain to get up and jump into the sea, and it will. Everything you ask for in prayer will be yours, if you only have faith” (CEV).
Faith can move mountains! God has set up the universe in a hierarchy of laws. The law of faith is actually higher than the laws of nature. That’s where miracles come in. When someone has faith, the law of faith goes into practice and can actually do more than the laws of nature. The law of faith is what makes miracles happen.
God still performs miracles today. Every time I stretch my faith, God does miracles. So what mountain in my life needs to be moved? What’s the thing that seems like it can never change? Maybe God wants my faith to supersede the laws of nature to move that mountain.
God is in the mountain-moving business. He has moved them in the past. He is moving them today all around the world. I should never doubt or underestimate what he wants to do in my life. Matthew 13:58 says, “[Jesus] did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith” (NIV).
If I’m not seeing many miracles in my life, consider if I’m looking with eyes of fear, or with the eyes of faith? Let this be the year when I see faith open the door to miracles.
In summary, have faith in God! If I have faith in God and don’t doubt, I can tell this mountain to get up and jump into the sea, and it will. Everything I ask for in prayer will be mine. Faith opens the door to miracles. I’m learning that God has set up the universe in a hierarchy of laws. The law of faith is actually higher than the laws of nature. That’s where miracles come in. When someone has faith, the law of faith goes into practice and can actually do more than the laws of nature. The law of faith is what makes miracles happen. Every time I stretch my faith, God does miracles. God wants my faith to supersede the laws of nature to move a mountain. I should never doubt or underestimate what he wants to do in my life. If I’m not seeing many miracles, consider if I’m looking with eyes of fear, or with the eyes of faith?
This morning, I consider what mountain in my life needs to be moved and what’s the thing that seems like it can never or hasn’t changed? What comes to mind is that I’m not doing anything to help advance the kingdom. I only work, all though, how I do my work can make a statement. But it’s not something that I have been openly attributing to God in front of others. Also, I had backed away from being part of a small group or even leading a small group. I have volunteered to be a group leader in the coming year. I pray that I can help others and introduce and advance the kingdom with those who do not have an interment relationship with you. I need to stretch my faith and not underestimate what you want to do through me for your kingdom. I pray Father for faith to do your will. I ask you Father for wisdom and guidance for my day, my work, my leadership and my interactions with others. I pray this through your Son Jesus Christ’s name, Amen.
