Kingdom cycle, not human cycle

If you are free from sin, you are free from sicknesses and diseases which are the result of sin.

Christ freed you from sin and enslaved you to righteousness. You are free from sin and enslaved to righteousness.

If you are enslaved to righteousness, you are enslaved to life and health, which are the result of righteousness.

Today, you and I are held in bondage, not to sicknesses and diseases, but to life and health.

The law of the Spirit of Life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

Stop thinking of human cycle. Start thinking of Kingdom cycle.

Health Is What You Set Your Mind On

Health Is What You Set Your Mind On

On Monday, I woke up with discomfort in my throat. At the same time, I felt weak. I haven't experienced this for a really, really long time.

After a while, I felt feverish. It was a familiar symptom of cold and flu. But this cannot be common to me because I am not a common man. I'm a believer. A believer is holy, set apart by God, and thus, uncommon. What is common to men should never be common to you.

Many carnal thoughts began to hit me.

"You have been taking MRT regularly for the past 6 months. So many people around you in the trains were sick and coughing everywhere. Every train you took had sick people around you. Besides, the trains were always crowded. Of course you will fall sick."

"You have been sharing coffee with your barista colleagues for the past 6 months. You had to share and taste during every single shift to calibrate and judge the brew. Some of them were sick and still shared with you. Of course you will fall sick."

"You have not been sleeping well for the past 7-8 months. Each week, you had at least two nights without any sleep (or perhaps 1-2 hours of rest only). Of course you will fall sick. To last so long is already very good."

"Your wife was just recovering from a flu, and you shared food and soup with her. Of course you will fall sick."

Let me tell you that the enemy will always find opportunity to hit you with carnal thoughts. He will not hit you when you are going strong, but when you are feeling weak.

For to be 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡, but to be 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God... - Rom 8:6-7

The carnal mind is always hostile against God. To think human thoughts is to think carnal thoughts, and it is enmity against God (Matt 16:23). The carnal mind always produces death (which includes sicknesses and diseases). But to think spiritual thoughts is to think like Christ (1 Cor 2:16). The spiritual mind always produces life (God-kind of life which includes healing and health) and peace (total well-being).

𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭... - 2 Cor 10:4-5

To think like the world is to think against the Word. To think like the Word is to think against the world.

The enemy will always want to pull us to the carnal realm. It is normal. It is human. It is logical. It is based on senses, facts and feelings. But our weapons are not carnal. Our weapons are spiritual. It is based on the mind of Christ. It is according to the Word.

The world teaches you that people's sicknesses are contagious; the world teaches you that if you are deprived of sleep, it will affect your health. BUT you CANNOT find these in the Bible!

You either believe in what the world (doctors) says; or you believe in what the Word says.

God is always faithful to His Word. But we are not always faithful to think, speak and act on His Word. So when we don't see His Word fulfilled, it is not about Him; it is about us.

When the carnal thoughts came to me throughout the day, I was at one point thinking if I should let my wife know how I felt. But I am a man of the Word. Nobody will know what I'm really feeling. We don't live by feelings; we are called to live by the Word.

While I felt unwell throughout the day, I acted normal. I went ahead to do what was needed for the day. My wife didn't notice anything. My son didn't realise any difference.

Instead, I brushed off the carnal thoughts with the Word of God whenever they surfaced. 

I spoke to my body, "You are whole, healed and well. You walk in divine health."

I spoke to my body, "Lack of sleep has nothing to do with you. You remain healthy and well."

I spoke to myself, "I am dead to sin, which is the root of every sickness and disease. And if I am dead to the root, then I am dead to the result of sin, which is every sickness and disease. So because I am dead to sin, I am dead to every sickness and disease. They cannot touch me because I am alive to God in righteousness. I am alive to righteousness, which is the root of life and health. So because I am alive to righteousness, I am alive to life and health. I am the LIFE and HEALTH of God in Christ Jesus!"

I went stronger and stronger as I spoke and spoke.

As I was lying on my bed at night feeling feverish and knowing that I had to get up very early the next morning, I continued to speak the Word. In fact, I didn't get to sleep because I was concerned that I couldn't get up in time the next day. This had been the case for lack of sleep for so many times for the past several months.

As I laid there on my bed, all the symptoms suddenly left me. Not a single one left. The world will tell you that if you have symptoms and you don't sleep at all, it will get worse. But the Word did what is contrary to the world for me.

The symptoms completely left on the same day because the Word protects and shields me. When you put your faith in the Word, the Word will manifest in and through you. The Word becomes flesh for you.

If any symptom tries to hit you, set your mind on the Word. The Word will settle everything for you.

Your Subconscious Mind

Your Subconscious Mind

To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. - Rom 8:6

What if the spiritual mind (the mind of Christ) is in our subconscious mind?

What if it is not what we think actively or deliberately, but what we unknowingly think passively?

If believing is not something we can measure tangibly with our mind (what we are thinking), it is likely to take place in our subconscious mind (what we already believe); that is connected to our heart.

Mark 11:23 says, "...and does not doubt in his HEART, but believes those things that he says..."

This is probably the reason why it's not what you think in your mind (actively) that causes things to happen positively or negatively, but what you unknowingly think in your subconscious mind (passive) that causes things to happen.

As a man THINKETH in his HEART, so is he. - Prov 23:7 KJV

How do we work on our subconscious mind? It will take both intentional THINKING and DOING what the Word is SAYING.

Do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing on your mind... - Rom 12:2

The door to the mind of Christ is wide opened through the Blood of the Lamb. Our subconscious mind could not experience LIFE and PEACE when we were not yet born again. It could only think death.

When we get born again, this realm is opened up for us to renew it. God is NOT going to do it for us. He has given us the ability to do so.

When we keep thinking His Words, we are meditating and preparing ourselves to DO them. When we do them, we are acting in faith. Because faith is simply doing His Words.

Each time we act in faith, we rewire our subconscious mind. Each time we act in fear, we also rewire it.

We need to rewire it so strongly such that our subconscious mind unknowingly thinks like Christ.

When this happens, even when your mind is thinking negatively (because the enemy can only suggest thoughts in your carnal mind; 2 Cor 10:4-5), things will still happen according to the Word. Because your subconscious mind is already believing the same as the mind of Christ.

You cannot stop what enters your carnal mind. Those thoughts have no impact on you as long as your subconscious mind is settled.

This is also the reason why some people say, "I believe. I always think and meditate on the Word of God." But they still struggle with seeing the manifestation of the Word.

I believe that our subconscious mind is the most important aspect of our Christian walk.

Alive To LIFE

The Difference Between Tongues & The Word

The Difference Between Tongues & The Word

Many confuse between praying in tongues and speaking the Word of God. Each of them has it's own function and they are not interchangeable.

Some think (and even teach) that you can fight the enemy by praying in tongues. First of all, we don't see this in the Scriptures. You cannot find specific Scriptures that praying in tongues can fight against the enemy.

Instead, we see that praying in tongues has the following functions:

i) It is praying WITH the Spirit (1 Cor 14:14)

ii) But it is NOT praying with the mind (1 Cor 14:14)

iii) It edifies (builds up) ourselves (1 Cor 14:4)

iv) It is helpful when we are helpless as we do not know what to pray for (Rom 8:26)

v) It is praying God's will (Romans 8:27)

vi) It gives us rest (Isa 28:11), which is actually edifying ourselves as mentioned in 1 Cor 4:4

vii) It is used to pray all prayers and requests (Eph 6:18)

None of the above reveals that praying in tongues is meant to fight against the enemy, nor does it help you to battle the enemy at the battlefield (which is the mind).

Yet we see that speaking the Word of God is the weapon to fight the enemy in the Scriptures:

i) Jesus repeatedly spoke the Word when the enemy tempted Him (Matt 4)

ii) Jesus spoke the Word against the storm, against the demons, against sicknesses and diseases in the books of the Gospel

iii) The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God (Eph 6:17), not tongues

iv) It is a spiritual weapon to cast down arguments and bring thoughts captive (2 Cor 10:4-5)

v) It is using the mind, since tongues only uses the spirit (1 Cor 14:14)

vii) The Word of God is used for mind renewal (Rom 12:2), because while tongues uses the spirit, speaking the Word uses the mind

vii) Thus, to keep our mind stayed on God, it is not by praying in tongues, but by speaking the Word of God, where the end result is life (zoe) and peace (shalom) (Isaiah 26:3; Rom 8:6)

When we understand that praying in tongues is from the spirit, while speaking the Word is from the mind, we will discover the importance of doing BOTH of them. You cannot just do one without the other.

What does it look like practically?

1) If you need spiritual/physical/emotional rest or if you do not know what else to pray, pray in tongues.

2) If you need to fight the enemy (in whatever situation you are in), or if your mind is unable to stay on Him (no life & peace) aka unable to take captive every thought from the enemy, SPEAK THE WORD OF GOD.

Your speaking will train the mind to be obedient and subject to Christ.

Free From Sickness

If I am dead to sin, which is the root of sickness, I am dead to sickness, which is the result of sin.

So if I am free from sin, I am free from sickness.

God Does Nothing Until We Speak

God Does Nothing Until We Speak

“For the Lord God does nothing without revealing His secret to His servants the prophets. The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who can but prophesy?” - Amos 3:6-7

Since God gave dominion-authority to mankind, He chose not to do anything until men speak. The reason for doing so is to honour His own words and keep His integrity. Earth has been given to men.

By speaking, Adam named every animal on the face of this earth. By speaking, nothing becomes something and little becomes much.

Henceforth, when God wanted to do something, He would speak to His people first, so that His people would speak and release the power of God for the words to come into being.

God calls those things which do not exist as though they did (Romans 4:17). When dominion-authority is given to mankind, men now call those things which do not exist as though they did, as long as God has said to them.

The Word became flesh (John 1:14) and dwelt among us. Yet before Jesus came, God had to speak to His prophets. Because the prophets had to SPEAK (prophesy) before Jesus could become flesh on earth.

The words of men prepared the way for the coming of God's Son. God had to speak to them to SPEAK, so that when the right time came, God sent His Son.

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of woman... - Gal 4:4

The fullness of time, the right time came when we were still weak (Rom 8:6); when we still sinners (Rom 8:8); when we were His enemies (Rom 8:10).

𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧.

Our speaking is the same as our prophesying. There is no difference. Just because you add, "I am not prophesying; I am only speaking" does not negate the truth that speaking is prophesying (Prov 18:21). This is why interpreting tongues (into understandable language) is as good as prophesying (1 Cor 14:4-5).

Every time when we speak, we either prophesy death or life. The former is to think like men (which is demonic in nature --- Matt 16:23) and speak, while the latter is to think like Christ and speak.

The Good News is that we have the Word of His power on hand ----- The Bible. We can speak the Word and watch things move & change according to the Word.

The sum of your life is the sum of your words spoken in life. If we want to change any situation in our lives, we need to keep speaking the Word of God.

Healing By Evidence

Healing By Evidence

For a believer, the confirmation of your healing is by the evidence of healing. And the evidence of healing is the Word of God (Heb 11:1; Rom 10:8; Ps 107:20).

The Word confirms your healing. You don't look to your soul or body to tell you if you are healed. That is looking for healing by feeling and/or manifestation.

We walk by faith (the Word), not by sight (feeling and/or manifestation).

Since the salvation of your spirit is confirmed by the Word, and not by feeling, the 'sozo' of your body, aka healing, must be confirmed by the same thing. 

You know that you are born again because the Word said so. You don't feel it. You believe it. Since Jesus always considered healing and salvation in the same package (Ps 103:1-3; Matt 9:5-6; Isaiah 53:4-5), as a believer, we just need to believe that it is the SAME.

You get born again by the evidence of the Word. You also get healed by the evidence of the Word.

Only non-believers need feeling and/or manifestation to confirm their healing because they are naturally walking by sight without the Spirit of God in them.

Jesus said to Thomas, "Blessed are those who believe without seeing."

Recently, I ministered to someone with an autoimmune disease. All the pain left immediately on the spot. I went back home and slept. In the middle of the night, I was awakened by a sharp, familiar pain on my pelvic.

For so many years, I have been freed from pain. I know that I am healed. Immediately, I knew that the enemy was extremely unhappy that I ministered to others with autoimmune disease. He tried to have a come-back.

Nonetheless, I didn't need any physical evidence to know that I am healed. I'm not looking for healing. I was healed and I stand healed by the confirmation of His Word. As I lay on the bed, I said to the enemy, "Stop lying. It's already done. You have no rights to change what the Word has completed. Now get off my back."

I went back to sleep and wake up without any pain.

If you are living by feeling, you are an easy target for the enemy. Because he will trick you into thinking that you will never get healed. And you won't.

As a believer, you don't need to receive healing from God. You cannot receive what you have already gotten. You have already received it on the day when you were born again into the Kingdom. You just didn't know it.

What you need to do is simply to AGREE with the Word, because the Spirit that raised Christ from the dead is already in you. The Spirit gives LIFE to your mortal body. When you agree with the Word, the Life of God touches your body. If the Word said it, that settled it.

The one who is not yet settled is you. You need to settle the fact that healing has already been confirmed by the evidence of the Word. As long as you stay in the ring, the enemy stays defeated.

Acquitting The Guilty

There is nothing God hates more

than condemning the one who is innocent

and acquitting the one who is guilty.

- Prov 17:15

Yet Jesus (innocent) was condemned so that Barabbas (guilty) could be acquitted.

Injustice fell on the Just so that justice can fall on the unjust.

Christ was treated like us so that we can be treated like Christ.

The Cross changed the judgment on us so that we can be changed by the Cross.

If we don't begin, continue and end at the Cross, we are finished. The New Creation puts in us an innocent New Man that is acquitted from judgment and free from guilt, so that we can remember that the wrath of God against Sin was fully consumed by Justice and Righteousness (the foundation of His own Throne).

The Cross frees us from Barabbas so that we are imprisoned by Christ. This divine exchange now consumes us with His steadfast Love and Faithfulness.

Whenever we look at our circumstances and wonder, "Why do I deserve all these?", we need to remember that Jesus received what we deserve so that we can receive what He deserved. That is the power and grace to overcome the circumstances and live in victory.

This Generation

When you minister with the cards facing downwards, you can give an Answer to those who ask, "Are these tarot cards?"

Tarot cards require you to flip them open, because they read from the cards.

We don't. We read it supernaturally by the power of Jesus.

Waited more than half an hour for the first person to come. But once it started, the people kept coming. 

Closed the 'shop' at 10pm, but the queue was so long that we couldn't stop until 11.30pm.

Majority of them were local youths/young adults. This signifies that the youths of today are continually looking for some spiritual experiences. They are looking for hope and answers to what they are struggling with on the inside.

Life in Singapore is no longer as simple and easy as in the past. The tremendous pressure and stress from every side of the family, the culture and society in Singapore are extremely unhealthy.

Academic performance, work performance, cost of living, etc. are probably at the toughest level for this generation. Fresh grads are unable to secure a job despite hundreds of applications sent.

Truth be told, it's not going to get any better. Giving you carrots here and there as an act of help might show the world how good the system is. But one who has simple discernment can see deeper than the surface. The root issue is not meant to be dealt with. It's more often than not, planned by the system.

Instead of complaining about the system, which won't result in any change, we need to take deliberate actions if we do not want to be conformed to the system that is meant to keep you captive.

Declining morality is simply the manifestation of a problematic system built by ungodly people. God foresaw it, warned and prepared us.

While Jesus is always the Answer, there is no simple solution to this. You can lead someone to Christ, but if he goes to an institution that follows the system of this world, he can be in Christ but still be of the system where he is held captive.

For us who are awakened, we can do our part to minister faith, hope and love to this young generation who are seeking for an answer.

The Light of Your Eyes

The Light of Your Eyes

The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and a good report makes the bones healthy. - Prov 15:30

What we see determines what we bring to our heart. This proverbs can be corresponded with Christ's teaching in Matthew.

“The eye is the lamp of the body; so then, 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐲𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫, your whole body will be full of light." - Matt 6:22 NASB

The NASB is a great representation of the Greek language in this verse. The word 'clear' in Greek is literally 'single'. It means 'without folds, referring to a single, undivided focus.'

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞, 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 has an effect on our heart. What you focus on, your heart receives its effect. If you focus on what is good and beautiful, your heart receives joy for what is good and beautiful. If you focus on what is bad, your heart receives sorrow for what is evil and bad.

Proverbs 15:30 continues with 'and a good report makes the bones healthy.'

Isaiah 53:1 says, "𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭?" Isaiah was referring to Christ. He continued in verse 4-5.

However, 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝; yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted, struck down by God, and humiliated. 𝐁𝐔𝐓 He was pierced for our offenses, He was crushed for our wrongdoings; the punishment for our well-being was laid upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. - Isa 53:4-5 NASB (emphasis added)

In order for our body to be FULL of light (Matt 6:22), we need to see with clarity; single and undivided focus. The only good report we focus on should be Isaiah's report on Christ.

Put away the doctor's report.

Put away your loved ones' report.

Put away others' report.

We have assumed that Jesus was afflicted, struck down by God and afflicted. That is simply untrue. God did not strike His Son (God), though we interpreted it that way. This is why Isaiah said that "we ourselves assumed... 𝐁𝐔𝐓 He was pierced for our offenses..." The reason for 'BUT' is that the truth is different from what we assumed.

The Gospel is not about a holy God releasing His wrath upon humanity on His own Son. On the contrary, it is about God crushing sin and its effect through His Son.

Let our eyes be singled on Isaiah's report --- 𝐛𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐝. This report penetrates into your inner being (bones), affecting the whole body.

You Are Not Of The World

You Are Not Of The World

Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. As you sent Me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate Myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. - John 17:17-19

The word for 'consecrate' and 'sanctified' is simply to 'set apart'.

Jesus said that we are in the world, but NOT of the world. He prayed to the Father to set His disciples apart in the Word. This also applies to us as it is a timeless truth.

In other words, the more we are IN the Word (truth), the more we are set apart from the world.

Jesus set Himself apart, that the disciples might be set apart in the Word, which is Him. The disciples did not have the New Testament when they were with Jesus. But they had the Word, because Jesus is the Word made flesh.

The disciples caught how the Word set Himself apart from the world. Therefore, they could set themselves apart in Him.

If people see us (believers) the same as the world, it proves that we are not in the Word. There is no difference. There is no separation aka consecration.

You and I are not different just to be different. We are set apart when we get into the Word and let the Word get into us. It becomes a natural thing that people see us and realise that we are not of the world.

Reflection: Do people see us the same as the world? If they do, it's time to question what we have truly believed in.

Authority for Eternal Life

John 17:2-3 - Jesus had authority to give eternal life.

- Eternal life is that they know the only true God and Jesus Christ.

- Jesus' authority over all flesh was meant to reveal who God is.

- Luke 10:19. We have been given authority over all devils. This authority is meant to reveal who God is (Matt 28:18-20) so that people can know Him (eternal life).

Faith That Endures

Faith That Endures

"For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” - Matt 17:20

The mustard seed is so tiny, yet Jesus illustrated faith with it. This means that faith has nothing to do with quantity. Faith has to do with standing firm and endurance.

With a mustard seed of faith, Jesus said that we will say to the mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move, AND nothing will be impossible for us.

There seems to be a progression. The mountain moves; AND nothing will be impossible for us. For us to see the impossible done, we must first see what seems to be impossible done. If we can see the mountain moved, our faith has grown to see the impossible.

Every miracle you see empowers you to overcome a bigger problem. I used to be a body builder many years ago. When I overcame 60 kg of bench press (my weight was 50-ish), I could take on 70kg, then 80kg and so on.

Jesus said that you will say to the mountain and it will move. But He didn't say WHEN it will move. How fast we expect it to move depends on the mustard seed of faith that we have sown in.

Jesus said that the Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed. When it is sown, it will grow to become like a tree (Luke 13:19). He illustrated this by cursing the fig tree before teaching the faith principle (Mark 11:22-23).

Once you have sown the mustard seed of faith, it will GROW and it will WORK, whether instantly or progressively. How fast you want it to work depends on whether your seed has become a tree.

Once you have sown the seed, you endure/persevere to the end. This is the only way for it to grow and work.

But the one who endures to the end will be saved (sozo-ed). - Matt 24:13 (emphasis added)

...knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result... - James 1:3-4

The word 'endurance' in James 1:3 and 'endures' in Matt 24:13 come from the same root word 'hupomenó', which means to abide and remain steadfast.

It is similiar to Ephesians 6:13 when you have done all, 'to stand'. In the Greek, it means 'one who does not hesitate, does not waver; of one who vanquishes his adversaries and holds the ground.'

You are not enduring because God is testing you. You are enduring because the enemy is the one attacking you. Each time when you let faith endure, you defeat the enemy.

For you to see the result of faith, you sow the mustard seed and endure/persevere it to the end. By remaining steadfast, you are letting the seed GROW into the tree. 'Nothing will be impossible for you' becomes your reality.

The problem comes when you doubt (aka double-minded). You cannot mix faith with unbelief. It is like sowing the seed and digging it up from the ground again. In this case, it will NEVER grow. It will NEVER produce result.

Alot of believers know how to sow the mustard seed of faith. But it is enduring to the end that they can't. You will have to align your words, your thoughts and your actions to who and what Christ is, regardless of your situation. This is where you become perfect (mature) and complete, lacking nothing (James 1:4).

The faith that endures to the end is the mustard seed that grows to become a tree. The faith that endures to the end is the one that gets sozo-ed (saved, healed, delivered, protected, preserved, made whole, kept safe and sound).

The Mustard Seed of Faith

People's unbelief cannot stop my believing.

But my own unbelief can stop my believing.

Little faith = unbelief = double-minded

- It means that I mix believing with unbelief.

- I believe, but it doesn't endure; I have doubt again.

- Believing + doubting doesn't work.

- It's like sowing the mustard seed of faith and then digging it up again
