Faith Starts As A Mustard Seed – Then Grows and Grows To A Might Tree!

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     Your FAITH does not start out as a mighty tree, but small as a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed in the world.  You didn’t start walking when you were born, nor did you start eating chicken before your teeth developed. 

     Likewise, we need maturing in the Word to develop our spiritual teeth and legs.  God expects us to start out crawling, then walking, then running.  He made you to develop in steps as all humans need to.

     I started, just reading the Bible when I was 27, as I found a promise in the Bible I needed, I found the condition [which is with every promise] doing it God’s way – and I always saw the promise/answer manifest.

     Samuel heard, the first time from God when he was only a child, whereas Eli was the high priest and should have been the one, who heard directly from God.  Yet, God does not see  age, but your heart and your obedience.  God’s chain of command is not based on position, but FAITH, looking for faithful followers.  So be prepared to be used by God, anytime or anywhere, your heart aligns with His Word. (1 Samuel 1:26- 3:28)

     Another example would be Jeremiah.  He wrote the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations.  He was a catalyst for the great spiritual reformation under King Josiah.  Jeremiah acted as God’s faithful messenger in spite of many attempts on his life.  He also started his ministry at the young age of 18.  Throughout his ministry few listened to what he said, so he wept much for Israel and became known as the “Weeping Prophet.”   Jeremiah complained about being to young, that people wouldn’t listen to him, but God said never say that again!  Just speak what God told him to say.  . (Jeremiah 1:4-10)

     Many people will be shocked as to who will be in Heaven.  A mixture of All denominations, colors, creeds, and nations.  It’s not who you are, but WHOSE YOU ARE!  Where you live does not matter, but how you obeyed the Lord’s Word and Your Fellowship with Jesus.  Your heart and actions are what Abba looks at.  Check out the 4-part study “Only The Overcomers Will Be Taken In Rapture,” concerning the Seven Churches in Revelation Chapters 2-3.

Matthew 13:31

“He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;

Matthew 17:20

“And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.”

Mark 4:31-32

““It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil, yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR can NEST UNDER ITS SHADE.”

Luke 17:6

And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea'; and it would obey you.”

     All of these versus in the Bible state how small your faith is when you start, but as you grow, how mighty you will become.  You will even let the birds of the air nest under its shade.  To me that last part would mean “You will help others rest in the Lord to become mighty warriors and do the greater works then Jesus did as well.  I would pray that for each Christian – Amen.

     All this will happen as you walk in FAITH and OBEDIENCE of the WORD.  You will take small steps at first, and then develop into a mighty oak tree, strong in your belief and trust in our Lord.

     I’ve had many discussions about these versus, as to whether you can actually “move a mountain” or “uproot a mulberry tree”?  I firmly believe that IF GOD said it, I believe it, and that settles it! – so yes whether it’s a mountain in your way or a mulberry tree or any major problem in your way.  I would suggest you not try to test Abba, it would probably back fire on you.  But if there is a need, that the enemy has caused YES HE WOULD!

      As you develop your spiritual eyes and ears, you will see and experience the miraculous divine intervention of almighty God in your own life.

     I command any spirit that is not from God Almighty forbidden in the house of anyone who reads this blog.  I bind you and command you to leave that house and go straight into the pit until Jesus releases you.  In Jesus’ Name.  AMEN!

Blessings to all who read the Blogs
