According to Your Faith

According to Your Faith

Do you have mountain moving faith?

 Ever think about what you believe?

Ever wonder if you have enough faith?

Jesus’ Disciples seem to get in trouble

for having a lack of faith in several occasions.

Jesus once said to two blind men

that the restoring of their sight

would be according to the level of their faith.

For all we know these men had the faith

to get their sight immediately when Jesus spoke.

But what if one of the blind men

believed that God could heal him

through the care of a doctor.

If Jesus’ words were true,

that man’s sight would have been restored

through the doctor’s care.

I am sure this man would have been

very happy to have his sight

but not as happy as the one who believed

Jesus could have healed him in a moment.

It seems in Jesus’ day of walking the earth

there were people who believed Jesus could do miracles.

I wonder as we read about Jesus’ miracles

if we have the same faith?

If what we get from God is according to our faith

could we have more, if our faith was to increase?

If you or I were one of these blind men,

how would we get healed or would we get healed at all?

With all the wonderful tools and medicine available to us today

has our faith level been reduced?

I am not suggesting that there isn’t a place for medicine.

What I do question is, are we settling for less?

God is GOOD and He loves to give GOOD GIFTS to His children.

Maybe the devil has got us to think God’s limited.

When it might be our faith limits God.

Scripture Reading

Matthew 9:27-31 NIV

27 As Jesus went on from there,

two blind men followed him, calling out,

"Have mercy on us, Son of David!"

28 When he had gone indoors,

the blind men came to him, and he asked them,

"Do you believe that I am able to do this?"

"Yes, Lord," they replied.

29 Then he touched their eyes and said,

"According to your faith will it be done to you";

30 and their sight was restored.

Jesus warned them sternly, "See that no one knows about this." 

31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.

Matthew 17:19-20 NIV

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked,

"Why couldn't we drive it out?"

20 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth,

if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain,

'Move from here to there' and it will move.

Nothing will be impossible for you."
