FAITH - AN UNDERSTANDING

Faith is not religion and religion is not faith. They are two different things altogether.

In the verses that I looked up in the New Testament about FAITH and how Jesus was using the term none of them had any connotation to Religion or anything similar. For instances:

Matthew 21:21
And Jesus answering said to them, `Verily I say to you, If ye may have faith, and may not doubt, not only this of the fig-tree shall ye do, but even if to this mount ye may say, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, it shall come to pass;

Luke 17:6
and the Lord said, `If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

Jesus said that The Kingdom Of God and all the Laws are WITHIN US. According to the above verses he does not say have Faith in God, but of ourselves. If we have faith in ourselves then we shall do anything. He also did not say that it was a religion and he didn't just say these things to the religions of his day. He said it to everyone. Faith isn't meant for a select few, It is meant for all; black white, red, yellow, Jew, Christian, Catholic, Hindu, Aboriginal, people we have yet to even meet who like in undiscovered areas and even those who are on other planets in other universes.

We can create and we can heal ourselves of any afflictions......IF we have FAITH in ourselves. When we begin to doubt then things fall apart.

Jesus goes on to tell us that we must use our Faith to build up one another, not to tear down like most religions ultimately do. Faith is also used to show us what we can do as in what a God, such as our self, is capable of. All we have to do is Believe in Ourselves.

In the Bible Jesus spoke to his followers about a mustard seed. Have you ever seen a Mustard Seed? Most are taught that they are the smallest of seeds. They may have been in the days of Jesus, but actually go to the store and look at a Mustard seed. You may find them in the Spice Section or in a Health Food Store. They are not small by any means. They are almost as big as a Coriander Seed. Yeah, they are big and our FAITH in ourselves has to be that big or bigger for it to work. Oh Ye Of Little Faith, couldn't heal themselves of afflictions unless they were told they could and did. It wasn't written that Jesus actually touched or healed them, he just told them they would heal and go on in peace according to how much FAITH they had.......in themselves and not in anyone or anything else.

You will never see an, outside of yourself, GOD do anything. Neither will you see an adversary or evil being such as Satan. They cannot exist outside of yourself and your thoughts, They aren't physical persons and they cannot be owned by any one thing in the whole of the Universe. They are the whole of our thought up Universe and We are All one in that Universe.

What we do have to have is Faith that WE can move mountains and make things happen. So those whom he was telling that had little faith did not believe enough in themselves that they could do anything Have Faith and believe and all will turn out just as your thoughts have created. Jesus also mentioned something about measure to measure. Whatever you put into something is just what you are going to get out of it. An outside God will not do it for you. The God Within will if you only believe and have FAITH as Jesus says.
