Faith for Great Things

Who don't want to have faith that can move the mountains? I want it too!! It's just a faith with the size of a mustard seed.

The so many possible things that happens around us often reduce the size of the infinite God into a bite-size, easy to handle God. Seeing all the natural things for such a long time prevents us from seeing the supernatural things. Trusting God for the possible hinders us from trusting God from the impossible. Doing the normal organised tasks withhold us from taking the step of faith. Living in the world where everything is based on logic limits us from trusting that God has a GREAT WILL for our lives!!

Without faith, it is impossible to please God. [Hebrew 11]. Sometimes I asked myself, why am I having faith in God only for certain things and not all things? Because I am not sure all things are the wills of God!! I am so scared that I can't handle the disappointment if I asked big [on things that is according to God's will, e.g. salvations] and do not receive, I will fall away from trusting God for bigger things. I trusted, disappointed, renewed in faith, strengthened, and trust again... but is that all? No, I am stagnant, I want to see breakthrough!!

Reflecting upon my life, I have been trusting God for most matters, but those are quite possible matters. When I am suddenly challenged to trust God for super-impossible matter, I hesitated. Why? I know God is a God of impossible, but have yet to experience it and see it with my own life, but if I do not trust for impossible in the first place, how can I even expect to see the impossible? Its a DNA and protein question...

After all, does God want to give me the impossible? Is it His will for me at this place, this moment, this season? Or is God's definition of humane impossible different from mine?

God is stretching my faith, but to which extend, I do not know!! But I want, to have that faith, to be strengthened, to no longer see the natural, but the supernatural!!
