Trust that God's timing is perfect. What he has promised will come to pass. Be patient and steadfast in faith.
In Matthew 17:20, Jesus is addressing His disciples after they failed to cast out a demon. They asked Him why they couldn’t do it, and Jesus responded with this statement about faith.
• “Because of your unbelief” – Their failure wasn’t due to lack of technique or words, but lack of faith. Doubt blocks spiritual authority.
• “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed” – The mustard seed is tiny, yet it grows into something great. Jesus isn’t saying you need massive faith; you just need genuine faith, even if it’s small. It’s not the size of your faith, but the presence and purity of it that matters.
• “Ye shall say unto this mountain…” – “Mountain” symbolizes something immovable or impossible. Jesus is saying that even a small amount of real faith can move the impossible.
• “Nothing shall be impossible unto you” – With true, active faith in God, we tap into His power, and God’s power knows no limits.
