Where is your faith? Mark 9:23-24amp

Luke: I, I don't believe it.

Yoda: That is why you fail.

Harsh words from Master Yoda but truth.  The reason why Luke couldn't move the X Wing out of the boggy waters was because he didn't believe he could.

Hosea 4:6 teaches us we fail because of lack of knowledge, however, here it is Luke knew.  He knows the ways of the force but he still failed.

20 He answered, “Because of your little faith [your lack of trust and confidence in the power of God]; for I assure you and most solemnly say to you, [a]if you have [living] faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and [if it is God’s will] it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Matthew 17:20amp

58 And He did not do many miracles there [in Nazareth] because of their unbelief. Matthew 13:58amp

Mark 9:23-24, Matt. 14:30-31, Matt. 8:24-26 & Hebrews 11

All of these scriptures and more, deal with, where is your faith?  We can know all day long but without faith applied we will fail.  Hebrews chapter 11 is proof that things happen with faith.  The walls of Jericho, the red sea, three in the furnace with the "fourth" man, Elijah's sacrifice burnt up, Abraham and Issac, Peter walking on the water, the woman with the issue of blood, Lazarus came forth, etc.  All happened due to faith. You can know the Word forwards and backwards but where is your faith?

24 Immediately the father of the boy cried out [with a desperate, piercing cry], saying, “I do believe; help [me overcome] my unbelief.

Mark 9:24
