Exercise of faith

Mark 11:22-24

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

There is something I want to point out to you about the exercise of faith toward God. It is the all inclusiveness of who exercises it and the lack of restriction or the limitlessness of what it can be exercised for.

Firstly, the all inclusiveness of everybody, notice the word, “whosoever”. Exercising faith in God and toward God is for whosoever, it is not for a selected few. It is not for apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers only. It is not for giants of faith or people who are referred to as generals in the body of Christ only. It is not for males only neither is it for adults only. It is for whosoever. Who is a whosoever? Whosoever is anybody and everybody. 

Why is this necessary to point out? It is because, some people in the body of Christ still feel they cannot do some things, like believing God. No you can say to the mountain, “be removed” and the Bible said it will obey you. So wherever you come across “whosoever”, put your name there. Say to yourself, I am the whosoever that the Scriptures is talking about in Mark 11:23.

Secondly, is the limitlessness of what you can use your faith for or against.

“…he shall WHATEVER he saith…” Wow! Whatever? This is huge isn’t it. That you can whatever you say. He repeats Himself again in the next verse: “WHAT THINGS SOEVER  you desire…”. That is still whatever! Hey, friend, there is no limit to what your faith can lay hold unto. 

There is no restriction on what you can use your faith to obtain or achieve, so what are you waiting for? Listen God is not shaking in His boots, saying what have let myself in by telling them they can ask for whatever, supposing they ask what I do not have. No. A thousand times No! He is God, the Almighty, the El-Shaddai, the all- sufficient one. This why Jesus said, “hitherto have you asked nothing in my name, ask, that you may receive and that your joy may be full.”(John 16:23,24).

Again I ask you, what are you waiting for?
