Faith and Belief

Believing something can be as simple and powerless as deciding which toothpaste cleans teeth better. Even if I believe in a brand’s ability, if it is too expensive, I may not use it. I believe it is best, but I would not be putting any faith with my belief if I did not use it. Believing God can heal is much less than trusting Him regarding my health – adding faith to my belief.

Early in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up. Then Peter remembered and said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that You cursed is withered.”
Jesus replied to them, “Have faith in God. I assure you: If anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore, I tell you, all the things you pray and ask for—believe that you have received them, and you will have them.
