FAITH COMMUNICATES

"Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done." Matthew 21:21 KJV

Every Christian is in a battle. There is a perpetual struggle against Satan and his kingdom. Our enemy goes about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8); but those who resist the devil will see him flee (James 4:7). The only ones whom he devours are those who don't actively fight against him. Jesus makes it very clear in our text verse above that we must have faith and doubt not. Every believer has faith, but most believers also have an abundance of doubt that negates their faith. 

One key for any successful relationship is communication. This is true in the case of a marriage, a parent-child, brother-sister, or any other type of relationship. It is also very true of our relationship with God. We need to ensure that our lines of communication are open when it comes to our relationship with our Lord and Savior. Knowing this to be so, God has always kept an open channel of communication with us, His children. Effective communication is a 2-way process; Prayers are sent up to God and God sends our answers down to us. When faith is used backed in prayer, God sends answers but when doubt is communicated, the communication line is distorted.

Failure to recognize that you need to use your faith everyday will cause doubt, fear and anxiety. From the text verse above, for your faith to be recognized, you have to always use the power of your mouth; you have to consistently speak into existence what you want in communication with the Lord. God's hand even in the smallest thing will cause peace and will keep your heart and mind stayed on Him.
