Deep Faith

I’ve been following Jesus since I was a kid. I sure didn’t know Him like I know Him now. I think when I was a kid, Jesus was more of an idea. As I’ve walked with Him for many years, my faith has grown much deeper and stronger. I’m not sure anything could shake my faith in Him. I also realize that I now have a target on my back from the enemy. When I proclaim bold faith, I will be attacked.  There have certainly been times through my life where I was under attack from the enemy. My deep faith helped me navigate through it with the Lord’s help.

Jesus has just come down from a spiritual mountain top experience with three of His closest disciples where He met Moses & Elijah.  Check this out…

¹⁴ At the foot of the mountain, a large crowd was waiting for them. A man came and knelt before Jesus and said, ¹⁵ “Lord, have mercy on my son. He has seizures and suffers terribly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. ¹⁶ So I brought him to your disciples, but they couldn’t heal him.”

¹⁸ Then Jesus rebuked the demon in the boy, and it left him. From that moment the boy was well.

¹⁹ Afterward the disciples asked Jesus privately, “Why couldn’t we cast out that demon?”

²⁰ “You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.” (Matthew 17:14-16, 18-20 NLT)

I want my faith to grow strong.

I want my faith to grow deep.

I want my faith to grow wide.

I want my faith to inspire and influence others to investigate Jesus. His Presence in me has changed my perspective.

I want my faith to keep growing even as I face the end of this life. My deep faith has prepared me for eternal life NOT just this life. While describing my faith as deep, strong, and wide – it is also very simple even though it’s hard. There’s a huge difference between simple and easy. Deep faith isn’t easy, but it is simple.

Pressing On!
