In luke 17:5 the disciples ask Jesus to increase their faith. Which is something that we do often, we want more faith, to trust God more. But the thing is this isn’t a one way faith. We have faith in Him, but we also have the faith OF Christ. He has faith IN us, to exercise the authority he has given us to heal, to spread his word and disciple.
If you ever believe you don’t have that kind of faith to pray for healing or to tell a stranger about Jesus its a flat out lie because you have the faith of Christ. If you have faith to know he is real then you have enough faith to do all the things Jesus did.
We can deepen our faith, as our trust in Him grows. But I encourage you not to compare your faith to other people. You literally have the faith of JESUS! How powerful. Step into the full kingdom of God and do something you’ve never done before. If you’re terrified, ask the holy spirit to speak through you and go do it!
I would have never excepted I would be saying any of this even a couple months ago but I have seen how it has significantly deepen my faith and trust in him. It’s honestly as simple as stopping to talk to people at the store while your grocery shopping or at the mall. Or see someone with crutches or a homeless person ask to pray for them, does God not have the power to heal or provide for them? Of course he does!! The question often comes up, what if nothing happens? But…what if something does happen? And if nothing happens they are at least encouraged and feel cared for.
