Is your FAITH weak or strong?......EPHESIANS 2:8 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. ….ROMANS 12:3--For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.. FAITH comes from God. It is the “gift of God.” He has given to every believer the measure, or the same measure, of faith.....A lot of people have done with their faith what the man in the Bible did with his one talent (see Matthew 25:25)...Some are stuck in the verse faith as a mustard see and not seeing the bigger picture in other verses (listed below)...If you are believing the LORD for things ABOVE and BEYOND your FAITH must INCREASE to believe and SEE it done. It’s up to YOU what YOU DO with the measure of faith God has given you. This measure of faith can be INCREASED. But you’re the one who increases it...Certainly God furnishes the means whereby faith can be increased (Trials, patience, circumstances, ect.). But you increase your faith also by doing two things: feeding it on the Word of God and exercising it—or putting it into practice....ACTING in faith in your dreams/visions/ect. It’s up to you what you do with the measure of faith God has given you. You can feed and exercise it so when the storms of life come, you will have STRONG faith. But another person may not do anything with his faith. The person who does nothing with his faith will have WEAK faith. So keep a positive attitude about your own faith. Recognize that you have faith and that you can cause it to GROW. You can have WEAK FAITH or STRONG FAITH ….so, feed your faith and exercise it right where you are in your Christian walk. And it can continue to grow and move all types of mountains. SCRIPTURES OF WEAK and STRONG FAITH: From these verses, you will see that faith can either be weak or strong. I am proving to you through Scripture that faith is measurable—that it can grow. 2 Thessalonians 1:3 says, “We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your FAITH GROWETH EXCEEDINGLY. . . .” God is saying that faith can grow. Well, since faith can grow, it can be either strong or weak—developed or undeveloped. LUKE 12:28 -- If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O YE OF LITTLE FAITH? MATTHEW 14:28–31-- And Peter answered [Jesus] and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water... And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus... But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.... And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O THOU OF LITTLE FAITH, wherefore didst thou doubt? ROMANS 4:20 --He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was STRONG IN FAITH, giving glory to God.
