Introduction:
“You can get anything you want from God if you have enough faith.”
The opposite of this is the idea that when you wanted something and didn’t get it, you didn’t have enough faith.
“If we only had great faith—reserved for a certain few—we could really see things happen.”
Christ did commend great faith and condemn little faith, but there’s more to the story.
If we were to be openly tested concerning the strength or weakness of our faith so that everyone could observe, how would we fare.
Of course, we would feel a bit put out being made a display for the judgment of others.
Luckily, it is the Lord who judges and with great mercy towards us.
However, that does not preclude us from growing in our faith.
I am convinced that the world around us desperately need to see our faith in action in these last days (continually).

Conclusion:
Surely more can be accomplished than what we see, and more accomplished than others do.
It is just a matter of accepting the facts and acting on them.
The move of God and our participation in it is dependent upon our ability to achieve and maintain great faith as described here today.
You were made for more than you possibly realize.
Great faith IS possible, because our God is great within us!
In Jesus name!
