GREATER FAITH, GREATER MIRACLES

Here are some beautiful photos of Phuket Island with my friends.


GREATER FAITH, GREATER MIRACLES

Great Faith in God leads to Great Miracles in God

"Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment" Matt 15:28

Can our faith in God make any difference in our life, family, ministry, church or society? I really believe the more we trust in the love, wisdom and power of God, the more we will experience the blessings from God.

I am always inspired by the faith of the Canaanite woman. She was so convinced that Jesus could heal her daughter from demon possession that nothing was going to hinder her from approaching and requesting Jesus to heal her daughter. The disciples of Jesus did not think that she was worthy enough to receive God's blessing because she was a Gentile and Jesus came to bring salvation to the Jews.

21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.” 23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us. 24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” 25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said. 26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” 27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” 28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment. Matthew 15:21-28

This Canaanite woman managed to pass through the disciples and go directly to Jesus. She faced further objections from Jesus because she was a Gentile. Instead of going home empty-handed, she wanted to receive whatever blessings that was leftover. Jesus saw her great faith and answered her request. What happen if we continue to grow in faith every day of our spiritual life? I believe we will see many breakthroughs and miracles in our lives, family, business and ministry as our faith grows from a mustard seed into a giant tree.

Let us have greater faith in God so we can see greater miracles in God. We can go beyond the realm of impossible into possible when our faith is strongly anchored in God.
