Your Faith Can Move Mountains in 2016
by Rick WarrenFaith opens the door to miracles. If you study the Bible and history, you’ll find that every time God moves on earth and performs a miracle, it’s because somebody believed.
Jesus said in Mark 11:22-24, “Have faith in God! If you have faith in God and don’t doubt, you can tell this mountain to get up and jump into the sea, and it will. Everything you ask for in prayer will be yours, if you only have faith” (CEV). Faith can move mountains!
Does God still perform miracles today? Of course He does. Every time you stretch your faith, God does miracles – every single time.
My question for you is this: What’s the mountain in your life that needs to be moved in 2016? What’s the thing you’ve already decided will never change? That’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. How do you know it won’t change?
Maybe God wants to increase your faith. He is moving mountains in the lives of people all around the world. God is in the mountain-moving business. Don’t doubt or underestimate what He wants to do in your life.
Matthew 13:58 says, “[Jesus] did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith” (NIV).
You might say, “I don’t see many miracles in my life.” I wonder why! Are you seeing with eyes of fear, or are you seeing with eyes of faith? Daring faith opens the door to miracles.
When you give God whatever you have willingly, cheerfully, and immediately, He can use it to do a miracle. When you give what you have to God, expect Him to multiply it.
God likes to do miracles through ordinary people. While we wait for God to do something for us, God is waiting on us to give Him what we have so that He can do something through us.
God wants to turn you into a miracle machine. He doesn’t want to just do a miracle for you. He wants to do a miracle through you – like He did through the little boy who gave God all he had: five small loaves of bread and two fish. God took the bread, broke it, blessed it, and multiplied it. And He wants to do the same in your life too.
