Faith

[Guest Bro David™]

Praise be to God,

I have been asked may times if Faith alone is enough to move a mountain.

Case in point was always this verse that many liked to quote.

Matthew Chapter 17

20: And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Now Jesus was using this particular sentence when his followers came back to him in defeat after not being able to cast out demons from someone.

Now in present day, Demons= Bondages, Sin.... you get the picture.

So did Jesus say Faith was enough ?

Now Chapters and verses in the Bible were given during the course of translation and was not inherent in the Original Text.

Lets see what the next verse or "Line" says

21: Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Does this mean Faith has to be equaly yoked with prayer and fasting for it to work.

To move a mountain in our lives we need to encumb all three togather ?

Your views ?

With much Love.

First of all, our faith has to be grounded in the Lord. In todays world we hear a lot about "faith", but little about the One in whom we have the faith.

Then too, I believe it also depends on the mountain. Some mountains are bigger than others. Jesus put an "however" in His comment.

When we are fasted and prayed up the anointing of the Lord is more powerful, even more tangible. For example, it is during those times that I can feel the anointing that my faith is the the strongest, and I know that I know the Holy Spirit has led me to pray for someone or something.

Faith is actually belief & doing the lords' will. If its the lords will for you to fast then it would be of faith. If its the lords will I am to lay down my life for my brothers then that is what I must do to remain faithful.

Mark 4:39

Psalm 46:10

[Khristeeanos]

The only time you will find the words "faith" and "alone" in the entire NT is when it says we are not justified by "faith alone."

James 3:26

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

1 Chorinthians 13:13

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three, BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE.

Faith by itself is not enough.
