Faith That Moves Mountains

Introduction: Can faith in Jesus really move mountains? Are you facing some mountains? Will you stand back and see the Mountain-mover in action? Does Faith in Jesus really work?
 

1. Ask a broken-hearted Mother!

“28Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.” (Matt 15:28)

A determined mother believed Jesus could heal her demon possessed daughter. And He did!
 
2. Ask a Military Leader!
 
“And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 6And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 7And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 9For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 10When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.” (Matt 8:1-10)

This military man – Centurion – was a man under authority who understood God’s authority. This was a case of “distance healing”!

Jesus just spoke the word without going to his house and his servant was healed. Why? All because He is a faithful Lord and Savior who honors Faith in Him.
 

3. Ask a Desperate Daddy!

“14And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, 15Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. 16And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. 18And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
19Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20And 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. 21Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” (Matt 17:14-21)

Did you notice that Jesus said if you faith as a mustard seed? Not faith in yourself, instead… faith in God’s Power!

By the way….STOP! Realize the GOD’S WILL supersedes our request!
 
Conclusion: Now that we have seen that Faith really works if you work it, will you have Faith in the God of the Bible?
Where do you need to exercise FAITH in Jesus? Do it today. Watch Mountains move. Glorify the Lord!
