The followers came to Jesus when he was alone and asked, “Why couldn’t we force the demon out?” Jesus answered, “Because your faith is too small. I tell you the truth, if your faith is as big as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. All things will be possible for you. [That kind of spirit comes out only if you use prayer and fasting.]” While Jesus’ followers were gathering in Galilee, he said to them, “The Son of Man will be handed over to people, and they will kill him. But on the third day he will be raised from the dead.” And the followers were filled with sadness.

We all desire to have faith that can move mountains. At some point in our lives we have had issues that we needed God to fix, change, heal, and provide for. Jesus said that all we need is faith the size of a mustard seed to move these mountains. In this 3-day devotional, we will see a small part of what Jesus meant when He proclaimed these words to us.
Like your muscles, if your faith is not used it will atrophy. So you have to exercise it regularly. Start with this 3-day reading plan! Let your faith work and receive the grace from God!
This reading plan takes you from a heavenly peak to the raw reality of the valley. From glory to disappointment. But above all, to the discovery that faith doesn’t start with great confidence in yourself, but with radical trust in God. With humor, Bible verses, and honest questions, this plan helps you become small enough to believe big.

We are all familiar with the phrase, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” It means that a person won’t accept something on blind faith, they need evidence before committing to believing it. But the spiritual life of a Christian reverses that and says, “Believing is seeing.” Tony Evans explains how Christians can see miracles if they commit to believing first.
