Faith

Why does faith make things happen? Why does it move mountains?

God has laid a heavy burden on man. He has made it "difficult" to believe in Him due to His unseen nature. So faith makes things happen because it is the "evidence"  of one's thoughts and perceptions of what is true even though unseen. It is as though if God were saying..."I have made it difficult to believe in me....yet you have stepped outside the realm I have placed you in which is what may make that difficult and thus can begin to see me and how I see". He says:

I have given you eyes. Yet forget what you can see.
I have given you ears. Yet forget what you can hear.
I have given you hands. Yet forget what you can touch.
I have given you tongue. Yet forget what you can taste.

God asks the "impossible". Blessed INDEED is the One who believes and yet has not seen! Why?
Because God has revealed Himself to Him. And if God has chosen YOU to reveal Himself to, you ought to be dead! But because God gave Himself for you, you just get a chance to taste Him.

Why does faith make things happen?

Because it is an act. Believing is an act. It is an action. Like running, walking, eating...they are verbs. To run. To walk. To eat. TO Believe. The english language gets the best of it since the verb is TO BE. Again, since God simply BE, HE IS! All He did was SPEAK and it BE because HE BE! But believing in GOD is not just any kind of act. It is THE act. Since believing in God = power.

Why does believing in God = power?

Because God is the source of all things. He is the source of all energy which is what makes things happen. There is nothing on earth or out of earth that didn't originate with Him. Believing in God is the most powerful thing a human being can do because it entails gifts FROM God which allows for a life WITH God, FOR God, and OF God.
