“He said to them, ‘Because of your little faith. 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.’” Matthew 17:20

Are you trusting more in your circumstances that you can see but not understand? Debbie Lindell shares why we can walk with God when our faith feels small.

“Some of us might say, I feel like I don’t have the faith to believe God. You know what I would say to you? Yes, you do.”

“God has given you enough faith. God has given you enough faith to believe in Him. The mustard seed faith is very tiny, you just have to act on it.”

Through our actions, God multiplies our faith and our strength.

“What happens when we act on our faith is it gives us the strength to step over our questions. Because we all have questions. Questions about what we’re hearing from God, questions about what we read in His Word. Questions are not wrong; they are normal. The disciples had questions.”

“Mary, the Mother of Jesus, when the angel came to her said, ‘how can this be because I am a virgin? How would this ever happen what the angel is telling me'”

Scripture says that those who believe, those who act on their small faith, will be blessed.

“Faith is believing when we cannot see everything, when we don’t understand it all. Believing those things that God says to our hearts personally. Stepping over those questions saying God I’m going to believe you even though I have questions.”

What happens when we believe despite our questions?

“Our faith grows. It’s so amazing. When you choose to walk by the faith you have, use the faith you have, it begins to grow stronger.”
