Let me encourage you to read Matthew 17:14-21 in your Bible today… DO IT – it teaches a powerful truth!
Jesus comes down from the mountain where He was “transfigured” before three of his key disciples – Peter, James and John. They had experienced an incredible glorious display of His power and deity!
When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Jesus found a disappointed father, a demon haunted and harassed son, and some frustrated disciples!
“I brought my son to your disciples and they could not cure him!” the distressed father blurted out.
The question of the disciples? … “Why could we not cast the demon out?”
Jesus’ response? “Bring the boy here to me!” – You couldn’t “Because of your little faith! For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed [developed in prayer and based upon the promises and power of the One they had encountered on the mountain], you will say to this mountain, ‘move from here to there,’ and it will move, and NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU!”
The lesson, it seems to me… It doesn’t take HUGE faith to experience the Lord’s incredible power and experience miraculous things… It takes “mustard seed faith” – with “the life of the Lord” in it, trusting His power and promises! Oh Lord, develop that kind of faith in me!
