King's Inspiration: BELIEVE BIGGER

By William King

We all face dreams that seem too big and obstacles that are too much to overcome, the medical report is not good, our family member is off course, we don’t have the connection. It’s easy to get discouraged and settle where we are. But God has all the power in the world to bring to pass the dream He put in our heart.

The key is our faith. God works through our faith. If you believe little, you’ll receive little. If you think small, you’ll get stuck where you are. The Scripture talks about different levels of our faith. In Matthew 8, the disciples were in a boat with Jesus. A huge storm arose.

They woke Jesus up and cried out, “We’re about to die!” Before Jesus calmed the winds and waves, He said to them, “Why do you have so little faith?” (Matthew 8:26). He was saying, “You’ve seen the miracles I’ve done. You know I can do anything. Why are you still stuck at this low level of faith?”

If you’re going to reach the fullness of your destiny, it’s not going to happen with a weak, little, doubting or average faith. It’s going to take great faith. The good news is, it’s in you, but you have to awaken your great faith. You have to stir up what God put in you.

Not long before this, the disciples had seen an example of great faith. A Roman officer had come to Jesus and asked Him to heal his servant, who was paralyzed. But rather than have Jesus come to his house, the officer said, “Just speak the word” (Matthew 8:10).

This officer wasn’t Jewish or even a follower of Christ, yet he had more faith than the disciples. Having great faith is not about being a religious scholar or how long you pray. It’s about a faith that takes the limits off of God. Let’s be people who cause God to marvel over our faith.
