“A man came up to Jesus, knelt down before him, and said, “Lord, have pity on my son, who is a lunatic and suffers severely; often he falls into fire, and often into water. I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him.” Jesus said in reply, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you? Bring the boy here to me.” Jesus rebuked him and the demon came out of him, and from that hour the boy was cured. Then the disciples approached Jesus in private and said, “Why could we not drive it out?” He said to them, “Because of your little faith. Amen, I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” -Matthew 17:14-20

Excerpt from The Mystic Next Door

“Scripture passages flooded me. My first thought was, “Oh, my, it’s not hard at all for God to pass a camel through the eye of a needle.” I understood that I was in the presence of absolute, unquestionable, unlimited, and vast power. I realized with this power, truly anything is possible. I felt His power washing through me as I could feel His love. I knew that power passed through me and to the edge of the universe instantaneously. I genuinely realized that having the faith of the tiniest mustard seed could move a mountain…”

To see and know God is to understand that His power is absolute in the universe. Nothing can stand in the way of such power, except a lack of faith, for God will not force His power upon you. To receive God, you first must have faith, trust, and then believe.
