QUOTES ON TOP

“I want something really worthwhile to live for. I want to invest this one life of mine as wisely as possible, in the place that yields the richest profits to the world and me…wherever it is, I want it to be God’s choice for me and not my own… Christ said, “He that would find his life shall lose it” and proved the truth of this divine paradox at Calvary. I want Him to lead me and His Holy Spirit to fill me.” – Betty Stam

YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING - DEVOTIONAL TAKEN FROM A FORWARDED MAIL



“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.” - Matthew 17:20

Here we see one man asking Jesus Christ to heal his son. He tells that His disciples could not heal him. When Christ rebuked the devil, the son got healed. The disciples, went to Jesus and asked Him, why they could not rebuke the devil? Jesus said, that it was because of their unbelief. He also explains that, if you have faith you can do everything. Dear people, you can do everything with faith. Apostle Paul says that, ‘I can do everything through Him who gives me strength’.  Today, you are coming to God with many expectations – like your problems to be solved, to be redeemed from your sins and to lead a Holy life, to be free from your debt and many things more. If you are asked to be in faith that God will do them for you, you will say that you have faith. Merely saying the words is not going to change your life. “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can tell this mountain to move” says Jesus. This explains that we have to speak out our faith like Him. It is true that you have faith and when it comes out in words, and you accept it, this becomes real. “That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” (Galatians 3:14).

 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.(Gal 3:14) You can receive Abraham’s blessings, only if you have faith. Abraham got all those blessings only because of faith. He openly confesses God’s promises that were given to him from the beginning. “And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.”(Romans 4:21). Every time he believed God’s promise and gave glory to God, his faith went on growing. Your faith will be exposed through the words you speak. You have belief in God so you must fill your heart with words full of faith. When your heart is full of faith your mouth will talk of faith. “A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.”(Matthew 12:35). If you have faith, you can do everything. Your life will be peaceful. You will not worry about anything. Today God is speaking to you saying those who have faith, can do everything.

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” - Mark 9:23.
