iBelieve

Heb 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Jesus was with out sin. He was both man and God on earth. You have to believe that Jesus was born of a virgin and was made flesh. You have to believe God sent his son. You can't believe other than what is in the bible. Fear is the opposite of faith. We don't have what we need because fear is dominating us.

Mark 11:22-24
22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Have faith in God and not man because man will let you down.


23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

Jesus used a radical analogy to prove that faith is powerful. He is not talking about an actual mountain. Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Prov 18:21). You have to believe when you speak it, it will be done. You have to believe God will back you up and do it. Some of us stop at speaking it but don't believe it. You can't pray in doubt or it will be in vain. You have to speak faith and use words to build yourself up. David encouraged himself in the Lord:

1  Sam 30:6
6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.

Remember that all things are possible for those who believe (Mark 9:23). You have to believe He can do exceedingly, abundantly above what you can think or ask (Eph 3:20). Think of the biggest thing you are believing God for. That's nothing to Him!

24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Just have faith!

Mark 9:21-24

21 So He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?”
And he said, “From childhood. 22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe,all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”


If you can believe. Admit that you don't have belief. What ever you speak have faith as small as a mustard seed. The size of your faith does matter (Matt 17:20).

Heb 11:1
  1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith is the substance and evidence. It is the title deed for what you are believing for. You have ownership of that thing in the spirit. Evidence is the title deed and proof. How can you prove something you don't have? You just know it. You can feel it. This is where Christians are called crazy. You can't see it but you know you got it. God will have you walking in this stage for a while. You are not here by accident. Everything invented has a purpose. When you abort you abort God's plan. Know if you have had an abortion God has forgiven you.

James 2:18-20

18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

You have to show that you believe what you are saying. It's not enough to just believe. There needs to be works.

Deut 32:20
20 And He said: ‘I will hide My face from them,
      I will see what their end will be,
      For they are a perverse generation,
      Children in whom is no faith.




God will not waste His time on someone who does not have faith. You are not supposed to settle for average. You have to believe the impossible, not the possible.

Rom 1:17
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

You will live by what you believe. God is building your life through trials. You have to climb the mountain sometimes instead of speaking to it in order to birth humility. Practice is tough but if you don't you don't get to play or win.
