In need of your sermon always.

That's a great point...I know I sure could use a lengthy media fast. Thanks for the reply.

 

Mishael's comment on 2020-12-07 17:23:06:

Sometimes fasting means turning off all of the media. Read scripture. Just sit and wait on the Lords response. I got rid of cable years ago because of the noise, aggravation and cost. I enjoy the quiet.

 

Dan's comment on 2020-12-07 09:13:15:

The opposite of Faith is unbelief. Unbelief dishonors God and blocks his ability to respond to our prayers and our requests for him to act on our behalf. Here, Jesus is telling his disciples their problem was unbelief and the need for much more prayer and fasting. Obviously, Christ is suggesting to them and us as well that, further prayer and fasting is what removes the unbelief that stagnates and blocks the Lords ability to respond to our requests. A "little" faith is all that the Lord needs to respond to our prayers but "unbelief" that the Lord will actually do what we are requesting thwarts the whole process. This verse tells me that the enemies of Christ are well versed in the spiritual laws and implications of shallow faith and ineffective prayers. They are under the authority of Christ and not the authority of man and will respond accordingly. It also tells me that I need to be ever closer to my heavenly Father in prayer and fasting if I'm to have any chance of waging battle in the spiritual arena.

A tiny bit of true faith will move mountains. Believe with all your heart. 24 7

 

Shay's comment on 2014-12-30 04:07:23:

We need faith to overcome mountainlike obstacles that interfere with our spiritual progress and to cope with difficulties. We should always work on strengthening our faith in Jehovah God and his promises.

jesus is telling them not to have stagnant faith .They used to cast out devils but of this kind it was their first time and it demanded a better level of faith that dont remain stagnant

 

Evodia's comment on 2014-08-19 13:26:48:

Faith as a mustard seed,the little faith must be put to action, and its gonna grow, if we have a huge faith as a mountain and not put it in action its as gud as nothing.so that little faith we have lets put it to use and it will produce remarkble results.

 

Olabode's comment on 2014-08-19 00:54:09:

Faith is the substance of things hope for and evidence of things not seen. Areas where we need faith can be grouped into Physical and spiritual.For somebody to do exploit in life, he needs faith. For somebody to perform miracles, set the captive free, conduct deliverance service s , receive his healing, even praying to God, he needs faith. For somebody to make it to the end, he needs faith. That is the reason why bible says without faith, it is impossible to please God.

Faith is the substance of things hoped fir and evidence of things not seen.I believe by all uncureble illnesses can be cired.

 

Nkosinathi Ngulube's comment on 2014-04-25 01:49:35:

When we believe that He is and able, then that becomes the roots of our fruitful faith.faith in faith is fruitless, so is faith in anything else apart from Him.

 

Joy's comment on 2014-01-26 08:23:28:

Yes the Lord is good he can move what ever you want

 

Roger's comment on 2013-10-12 04:07:23:

To have faith to move a mountain is beyond faith. It in a knowing without one synapse nerve impulse of doubt.

 

PRAISETHELORD!!!!!!'s comment on 2013-05-23 21:30:23:

This is one of my fsvorite verses!! It has always appealed to me, because I ALWAYS thought it would be cool to move a mountain.

 

Chuks cyrus's comment on 2013-03-12 03:24:27:

Faith is a currency in time, used to buy that which exists in eternity.

You have to put trust in god.
