RE: Christian-Trail Weekly Bible Subject Thread

Matthew 17:20 "So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."
I still struggle to fully comprehend this verse, but I am using it more and more in my life. I say to myself, my faith can't be smaller than a mustard seed. I remind God of His word, "saying Lord I have faith at least as big as a mustard seed, your word says if I have faith like this I can move this mountain and God is no man that He can lie, so in the name of Jesus move this mountain". About 10 days ago I discovered a lump between my breast and armpit. I prayed like that and I felt it every day getting smaller. I even forgot about it and just now while writing this, I was feeling it and I could not found it. I praise God, He is so faithful.

Amen @hope777, as I scrolled through the responses here, I was thinking about how encouraging you are, and how you how you always have a kind word share.

It is a difficult verse for me to comprehend too. A little tiny bit of faith, the size of a mustard seed. At times it can seem more like a mountain itself, rather than a seed. When I find it hard to find that kind of faith, I also remind the Lord of what He said there. Even when something is far beyond my own understanding, one thing is certain. When it's in His hands, it is in the best of hands.

What a wonderful testimony and praise God that the lump decreased!

Thank you for this encouragement. May God bless you always.

Now you are the one that encourages me, thank you so much. I have been under attack here on steemit, even saying to me I am a false Christian and leading people astray. So thank you Lord for this encouragement through @livingwaters. Amen!

Keep the faith and keep on praying. Don't let it upset you, just take it to God and leave it there. (((@hope))) <--a sister hug for you.

Thank you, dear sister. (((((@livingwaters))))))

Hoppe777 is true what livingwaters says, many attacks will come and giant, against us So what do we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?God bless you sisters

Thank you @deisip67 for your encouragement. Yes I know, I have been attacked here before and what you say is true. It just hit me a little harder as it was such a low blow. But I am over it, I must keep my flesh crucified. It is only the flesh that wants to defend and retiliate. Blessings sister in Christ.
