“So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20, NKJV)

Many people become slaves of everyone else’s opinion. They agree with every viewpoint regardless of how ridiculous they may be. They do not have an opinion about anything; all they want is to remain unnoticed. Life becomes complicated because they try to please everyone. They lose confidence in God and themselves.

As a follower of Jesus Christ, you have the power residing in you by the Holy Spirit that enables you to tackle life positively. Our discipleship is based on faith, so, even though you may be experiencing a trial in your life, focus on the fact that God loves you. He never leaves you. Follow through with what God might be speaking to your heart, and do not base your life on feelings.

If your life is based on your faith in Christ, then your confidence will gradually increase and you will overcome those feelings of little or no confidence in yourself to hear God for yourself. You will find that there is no situation that you will not be able to handle through God’s wisdom and His power.

God Bless, Pastor Rick
