Monday Encouragement Devotional from Pastors.com

“Have faith in God! If you have faith in God and don't doubt,
you can tell this mountain to get up and jump into the sea,
and it will. Everything you ask for in prayer will be yours,
if you only have faith.”
Mark 11:22-24 (CEV)

Pastor, would you like to see a miracle in your ministry?

Miracles start with faith. If you study the Bible and history, you find that every time God moves on Earth and does a miracle, it’s because somebody believed. 

Jesus said in Mark 11:22-24, “Have faith in God! If you have faith in God and don't doubt, you can tell this mountain to get up and jump into the sea, and it will. Everything you ask for in prayer will be yours, if you only have faith” (CEV). 

Faith can move mountains! 

God has set up the universe in a hierarchy of laws, and the law of faith is actually a higher law than the laws of nature. That’s where miracles come in. Because when faith is used, the law of faith goes into practice, and the law of faith can actually do more than the laws of physics.

Does God still perform miracles today? Of course, he does. Every time you stretch your faith, God does miracles—every single time. 

The question you need to answer is this: What’s the mountain in your ministry that needs to be moved? What’s the thing you’ve already decided will never change about your church? That’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. 

How do you know it won’t change? Maybe God wants your faith to supersede the law of nature. He has done that in the past, and he is doing it today all around the world. God is in the mountain-moving business. Do not doubt or underestimate what he wants to do in your ministry. 

Matthew 13:58 says, “[Jesus] did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith” (NIV). 

You might say, “I don’t see many miracles in my ministry.” How would you answer this question: Are you seeing your ministry with eyes of fear, or are you seeing it with eyes of faith? 

Faith opens the door to miracles.
