FAITH SPEAKS !

FAITH SPEAKS ! Jesus said to the apostles, "If you had faith as a seed, you will say to the sycamine (Black Mulberry) tree. . ." Evidently they were walking down the path, and tree was right in the middle of the path. This tree was an obstacle in their way. Jesus said, (paraphrasing) "Fellows, if you had The Word as a seed, you could say to this inanimate object, this tree, Be plucked up by the roots, be planted in the sea, and it --- the tree -- would obey you." Little paraphrase and of His words would be, "it would obey your faith-filled words, if you had faith as a seed." Jesus tells to grade faith secrets here: Faith Which Is the Word as a seed, it works as a seed; and, you plant it by speaking it. Someone may say, "you're not going to catch me speaking to trees and mountains and talking to things." You probably won't see those things remove either. You are talking about your mountains and your trees daily, your problem areas in your life; or the seeds that you are sowing and watering. You have developed great faith in your fear, your strong; and have not the God kind of faith. Jesus is not talking about uprooting trees anyway, no more than He is talking about blowing Mount Everest into the sea when He said, . . . Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed . . . (Mark 11:23). He's talking about problem areas in your life, about situations that faith and circumstances you don't know how to handle. He tells you and me to say to that situation, if it's sickness, "by his stripes I was healed." He tells you and me to say to that situation, if it was a financial problem; I have given and it is given unto me good measures pressed down running or shaking together shall men give onto my bosom. He is telling you and me to say to that situation, if it were a family problem; God has given his angels charge over my family and nothing by any means shall hurt them for he has said his word to heal them and to deliver them from all their destruction. "Be plucked up, be planted in the sea; depart, be gone." Tell it what to do and where to go. DOMINION WITH WORDS: This is the way Adam was to have dominion in the beginning. God told Adam to have dominion over the fish of the sea, fowl of the air, over everything that creeps on the earth. Now that's good news in itself, just knowing that you have dominion over creeps. How was Adam going to subdue the elephant ? He would have to do it with his faith. There was not much he could do about it physically. He had to do it with his faith and the power of words. He had to operate in dominion by his faith. He had to operate the way God operated. He was in His likeness.
