Matthew 17:20 "...for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."
I've been reading about faith lately from the sermons of pentecostal pioneer Smith Wigglesworth, a man who seemed to grasp where his faith ended and the faith from the Holy Spirit of God began. He seemed to always hunger for a real encounter with God, and as a result of his ministry a great pentecostal outpouring occurred at the beginning of the 20th century, where many tremendous miracles happened. Of himself, Smith was just a person, as any of us, but when he prayed with the faith of heaven, in the power of the Holy Spirit, like Elijah (Jas. 5:17), and like all the believers in Acts, and any believer may today... things happened, and still happen. God can use, does use and will use any one who has a heart after Him and has Heaven's faith. This is the faith I desire. Read Acts 10. Are you ready?

He Made Us To Be A Kingdom
Revelation 1:5&6 To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father-to him be glory and power forever and ever! Amen!
The Kingdom of God is within you! (Lk. 17:21)
Yesterday was the Kentucky Derby. I spent Friday and Saturday at a campsite with a group of forty men seeking after God's will for our lives. It was amazing! A year ago it would have weighed on me that I was missing the Derby. I even would have looked at yesterday as something sacrificial, but things change. It never crossed my mind. When you are in God's presence, nothing else matters.
I have good news today. The Kingdom of God is here, it is now, and brothers and sisters it is in you... (see Acts 1:4&5, 2:1-4, 2:37-43, 6:8, 19:1-7, 1Cor.12 &14) Since it is here and now and within me and you, we need to be about His business, and no longer taken away by worldly distractions. Matt. 16: 24&25, Jesus said: If anyone comes after me he must deny himself (self) and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will find it.
If you enjoyed the Derby on Saturday, or some other event like the NBA playoffs I am by no means condemning you, for there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Ro. 8:1). I pray you had a fantastic time. I am just saying, for me and my house... nothing else matters, because His Kingdom is in us!
