Faith That Moves Mountains

"Jesus replied, 'Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, if you say to this mountain: Get up and throw yourself into the sea, and have no doubt in your heart but believe that what you say will happen, it will be done for you.'" - Mark 11:22-23

God worked a miracle through my dad today. For those of you that don't know him, my dad is a deacon and a preacher in the Catholic Charismatic Renovation. He left for a business trip to Miami yesterday and was called in today to visit a woman in the hospital. The woman was pretty much a vegetable as she had been in a coma for a while. When my dad went in and called upon the Name of Jesus Christ to heal her, the woman awoke from her coma immediately.

Some of you may ask why you don't see these things or why God doesn't answer even the smallest petitions you ask of Him. The answer is that you do not have faith, or, as Jesus commands, you doubt instead of believe whole heartedly. But where do you get faith? How do you start believing and stop doubting? Saint Paul says in Romans 10:17 that faith comes from hearing the message of Jesus Christ. If you want faith that can move mountains, you NEED to listen to the message of Christ. Not once a week, but continually throughout the day. My dad has faith that can move mountains and awaken people from comas. Why? Because since my father started walking on the path of the Lord, there has not been one day that has passed that he is not up early in the morning to put himself in God's presence to pray and read the bible. He is not only in church once a week, but every day. He fills himself with the Word of God because he has learned that it gives life. Sometimes my boyfriend says that all my dad wants to do is pray and only God interests him - glory be to God because this is the reason God does what He does through my father.

But my father is only one man and God has so many more gifts to give and miracles to work through people like you and me. God gives abundantly to those who seek Him so why can't you be the one performing amazing deeds in the Lord's Name? Fill yourself with the Lord's presence. Dedicate your life to Him when you wake up each morning. Read the bible and listen to the Word that gives life. The glory of God is yours for the taking, but you have to do your part.

Today's Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for the amazing gift of faith and for the miracles You work through this faith. Please help me prioritize my time so that I can put You first and fill myself with Your message. I want faith that can move mountains Lord, and need Your strength to get me there. In Your Name we pray, amen.
