Mustard Seed Faith

I like cooking and one day I was making a fish recipe that called for mustard seeds.  Have you seen the size of a mustard seed?  It’s very small.  It’s actually the size of the period at the end of this sentence.  It got my attention!

In Luke 17 the apostles came to Jesus and asked him to increase their faith.  I thought His answer was very interesting.  He didn’t tell them the 12 ways to increase their faith or pray a prayer to give them more faith.  Look at what he said.

The apostles said to the LORD, "Increase our faith!" He replied, 
"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.”  Luke 17:5-6

All we need is the faith the size of a mustard seed!  


So don’t get caught up in how much faith you have or don’t have.  Instead use the faith God has given to you and speak to your problem to be uprooted and cast into the sea!  Dig into the Word of God and memorize some scriptures that pertain to your need.  And watch our miracle working God come through for you!

  1. "Speak to your problem to be uprooted and cast into the sea!"

    That is a Word, right there! The power of faith does not rely on quantity but in Whom we believe. Speak the Word, believing it will be and watch God move.

    Thanks for this, Bonnie!
