Faith and the Mustard Seed

2/16/2023

What is faith?
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1 (NLT)

If you have faith even small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it would move. Nothing would be impossible. Matthew 17:20 (NLT)

Why did Jesus use a mustard seed to illustrate faith? What do the two have in common? Let’s take a look.

Mustard Seed:

It is the smallest of seeds
Mature plants can grow up to 30 feet tall
Branches and leaves span 20 feet in circumference.
If the seeds are allowed to mature on the plant, they will self-sow and still provide plenty for mustard making.
A yellow mustard seed plant can reach full maturity in 85 to 90 days. While a brown mustard plant will take 90 to 95 days to mature.
Packed with minerals which make your bones stronger, strengthen your hair, nails and teeth. Mustard seeds contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that help relieve pain in the gum, bones and teeth.
Will grow in most soils, but will produce the most seed in rich, well drained, well pre-pared soil.
It will thrive if given constant moisture.
It likes cool weather; and a light frost can even improve the flavor.

Faith:

With very little faith we can move mountains.
Faith can grow large enough to reach others
 Faith if allowed to mature will self sow and still provide enough to go round.
Faith can mature in a short time when in the right environment.
 Faith will strengthen the body of Chirst, by your walk and your talk
Faith will produce the most seed in rich soil well drained, well pre-pared time with the Lord where roots can go down deep into Him.
Faith/ will thrive when given constant moisture of the living water
Faith/ Loves to step in when all hope is gone.
 Because He is the God of the Impossible

Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever. Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever. Psalm 125:1-2

Seated in Heaven

9/19/2020

But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he had done for us who are united with Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-7
Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worth of the good news about Christ. We are all in this struggle together. Philippians 1:27, 30
When did you loose your seat in heaven? Who removed you from there? You are a citizen of heaven! Live like it. Act like it. Speak like it. Walk like it.
We should never go into battle without first being seated.

UnBroken

God wants to take you where the will of man can't break you!
"I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them: I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 11:19
Will you allow Him to do his work within you today? He loves you so much!!

When God is Silent

When God is Silent, Listen for the heartbeat. Be still and know that He is God. Psalm 46:10

Jesus Fed

1/24/2018

Jesus fed more than five thousand people
with five loaves of bread and two fish.
You may only have five words God gave you to speak,
But if those words are anointed by God then many will feast.
It's all about Him!
