Faith Like Jesus...

What can you cast out? what can you put into submission? What can you make happen? But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. Luke 18:27. What do we need to do to have faith that makes it possible with God not of ourselves. He said to them, Because of the littleness of your faith [that is, your lack of firmly relying trust]. For truly I say to you, if you have faith [that is living] like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to yonder place, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. Matthew 17:20. All we need is faith like a mustard seed and this faith must be living in us. we must actively have faith and must be practicing our faith. you cannot say you have faith if no one can see that you have faith, it must be active so people can see it

Faith is lived out but how we react, what we do, our attitude, and most of all showing love to others. 35 By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves]. John 13:35. By these things they will know that we have faith and our disciples of Jesus and His Kingdom. Faith is not an idea but an action that requires one to live it out. Just like the first verse, it needs to be active as it says living. Just like they check for things at the airport at the security checkpoint, if they would check our faith would they find any. it is not something you can say you have and do nothing with. I keep saying that so you get it and understand that faith needs to be lived out and be active in us. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16. We need to like the light and show our faith because the light is our faith in Jesus. Works without faith is dead according to the Bible. For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead. James 2:26. 

So, to start off with we have to have faith and the faith we can have can be as little as a mustard seed as long as it is active in us.
