It's Time to Realize The Power of Your Faith

It's Time to Realize the Power of YOUR Faith

What is faith?  Heb. 11:1
Where does faith come from?  Roman's 10:17

Strong Faith                
Rom 4:19  And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:
Rom 4:20  He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Rom 4:21  And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform
 
Fully persuaded = completely assured
Did Abraham feel completely assured?  No he was 100 yrs old. No one is making babies at 100 yrs old. It wasnt about his feeling in making the Dream come to pass. 2Co 5:7  For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Full of faith

Act 6:8  And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

Faith will make things (supernatural things) happen***

Great Faith
Mat 8:5  Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,
Mat 8:6  saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented."
Mat 8:7  And Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."
Mat 8:8  The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.
Mat 8:9  For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
Mat 8:10  When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, "Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!
Mat 8:11  And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 8:12  But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Mat 8:13  Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you." And his servant was healed that same hour.

This healing happened before Jesus ever went to the cross and paid for the gentile covenant. GREAT FAITH
This faith reached through time and connected with something that was not even within his priveledges (what grace and mercy) wow!

Mat 15:21  Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
Mat 15:22  And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed."
Mat 15:23  But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, for she cries out after us."
Mat 15:24  But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
Mat 15:25  Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"
Mat 15:26  But He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."
Mat 15:27  And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."
Mat 15:28  Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Exodus 14:16  Moses parted the Red Sea (him and a stick)

Mat 9:2  Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you."

Mat 9:22  But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, "Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.

Luk 18:41  saying, "What do you want Me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, that I may receive my sight."
Luk 18:42  Then Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well."

I don't have much faith what do I do?

Luk 17:5  And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
Luk 17:6  So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

Mat 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.
