Jesus says in Matthew 17:19-20, "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." As believing Christians there is substantial power available to us. It is the power of faith. Through the bounteous mercy and love of Jesus Christ we receive his grace - a divine means of strength. The power available to us through Jesus Christ is very real.
What mountains would you remove from your life if you had the faith of a mustard seed?
What's stopping you from removing the obstacles in your life?
Do you utilize your faith as a principle of action and power?
Is your faith centered where it will be most effective?
Do you have adequate faith in yourself?
Turning Faith into Power is the first in a series of instructive and inspirational ebooks from The Powerful Christian Series by S. Richard Nelson.
We are not alone on this earth, and the purpose God has for us is not to fail but to succeed and ultimately to return to God. The purpose for our earthly existence is to give us experience. Sometimes that experience is pleasant and joyful. Other times it is disheartening and unsatisfying. But in every situation, at every age, and whatever our experience, we have the promise of Jesus Christ, "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." (Matthew 28:20.) We need not face each day, each trial, and each opportunity alone.
Higher power is accessible to each of us every day and every hour. It is the same power by which God created the worlds. It is the power of faith. Faith is a principle of action and of power, and by it the faithful Christian can influence any number of circumstances when the occasion warrants.
