One of the things that we neglect to do is take that extra step of faith. Yes, Jesus does say to ask anything in his name and he will do it but we must remember that he requires action to follow that prayer.

The scripture says in James 1:6 “when you ask Him, make sure your faith is in God alone. Do not waver…” We can see here that prayer and faith go together hand and hand.

You see, God is moved by our ability to move. Know that all it takes is faith the size of a mustard seed and you can move mountains.

You may say, “I would take a step of faith but I don’t have the ability to do such a task.” Well my friend let that serve as an opportunity to exercise your faith!

I heard a great saying. “If you’ll do what you can, God will do what you can’t.” For instance, if you want a new car, take a trip to the car lot. Go and find the car you want and declare that it’s yours!

You will be surprised what miracle God will perform if you’ll just take a step of faith.

I’m reminded of when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. Jesus arrived at the tomb where Lazarus laid dead. And there at the entrance to the tomb was a great stone. Jesus told them to move the stone.

Now you would think a man who healed the sick, caused the blind to see, and made the lame man walk, could most certainly roll the stone away himself. But he wanted to see if the mourners had faith enough to believe that he would raise Lazarus.

All throughout the scriptures before Jesus performed miracles, he had to see beforehand if they believed. When the disciples were out in the raging seas, they were troubled by the storms but Jesus was sound asleep. When they woke him in a panic, Jesus calmed the storms and immediately asked them, “why are you afraid of the storms? Do you still have little faith?”

We can clearly see that God is moved by our faith. Whatever you want in life simply ask on it then act on it and watch God perform a miracle. Jesus said in Matthew 17:20, “If you have faith even as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, move from here to there and it will move.”

Instead of becoming hopeless and fearful, look for ways to exercise your faith today. In doing this, I believe you will witness more and more miracles as you charge forth on your journey of life!
