GREATER FAITH 3-9-25 VIDEO
We are in this season in the world where our faith must increase, and our worry and fear must decrease. Greater faith isnt about how much biblical knowledge you have or how much scripture you can speak. Its about the amount of faith you have in the living God. During Jesus lifetime here on earth he only mentioned people who had great faith. Without Jesus, greater faith would be impossible. Hes the truth. Hes the way hes your life and faith. Great faith is Gods lifelong gift to us.
HEB 11:6 There is no substitute reward for faith. Faiths return exceeds any other sense of achievement. Faith knows that God is; those who desire to respond to his invitation to draw near, realize by faith that he is lifes most perfect gift. MIRROR

Luke 7:6 Jesus went with them. When he was still quite far from the house, the captain sent friends to tell him, "Master, you don't have to go to all this trouble. I'm not that good a person, you know. I'd be embarrassed for you to come to my house,
7 even embarrassed to come to you in person. Just give the order and my servant will get well.
8 I'm a man under orders; I also give orders. I tell one soldier, 'Go,' and he goes; another, 'Come,' and he comes; my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."
9 Taken aback, Jesus addressed the accompanying crowd: "I've yet to come across this kind of simple trust anywhere in Israel, the very people who are supposed to know about God and how he works."
10 When the messengers got back home, they found the servant up and well. MSG

Matt 8:5-13 As Jesus entered the village of Capernaum, a Roman captain came up in a panic and said,
6 "Master, my servant is sick. He can't walk. He's in terrible pain."
7 Jesus said, "I'll come and heal him."
8 "Oh, no," said the captain. "I don't want to put you to all that trouble. Just give the order and my servant will be fine.
9 I'm a man who takes orders and gives orders. I tell one soldier, 'Go,' and he goes; to another, 'Come,' and he comes; to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."
10 Taken aback, Jesus said, "I've yet to come across this kind of simple trust in Israel, the very people who are supposed to know all about God and how he works.
11 This man is the vanguard of many outsiders who will soon be coming from all directions streaming in from the east, pouring in from the west, sitting down at God's kingdom banquet alongside Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
12 Then those who grew up 'in the faith' but had no faith will find themselves out in the cold, outsiders to grace and wondering what happened."
13 Then Jesus turned to the captain and said, "Go. What you believed could happen has happened." At that moment his servant became well. MSG
Matt 15:21 From there Jesus took a trip to Tyre and Sidon.
22 They had hardly arrived when a Canaanite woman came down from the hills and pleaded, "Mercy, Master, Son of David! My daughter is cruelly afflicted by an evil spirit."
23 Jesus ignored her. The disciples came and complained, "Now she's bothering us. Would you please take care of her? She's driving us crazy."
24 Jesus refused, telling them, "I've got my hands full dealing with the lost sheep of Israel."
25 Then the woman came back to Jesus, went to her knees, and begged. "Master, help me."
26 He said, "It's not right to take bread out of children's mouths and throw it to dogs."
27 She was quick: "You're right, Master, but beggar dogs do get scraps from the master's table."
28 Jesus gave in. "Oh, woman, your faith is something else. What you want is what you get!" Right then her daughter became well. MSG
