Leap of Faith

"You don't have enough faith," Jesus told them. "I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard see, you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible!" (Matt. 17:20 NLT)

        

Years ago, when the destructive affects of "devil's brew" almost killed one of our children, I prayed, fasted, and bought a pair of Corona flip-flops. No, I'm not Looney-Tunes! In a leap of faith, I stomped around in those shoes, praying fervently that my mighty God of peace would soon crush Satan [in the form of alcohol] under my feet (Romans 16:20) and away from our family. And guess what, by God's amazing grace, mercy, and power, that mountain moved!

Beloved, take a leap of faith. Lift extreme prayers to Jesus - the One who can move mountains and crush the devil under your feet!
