PARABLE OF THE MUSTARD SEED

[Albert Finch]

Matthew 13:31-32 31 He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; 32 and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.” NASB

Mark 4:30-32 30 Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.” NASB

Luke 13:18-19 18 So He was saying, “What is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it? 19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the [a]air nested in its branches.” NASB

Jesus said in Matthew 16:19: "And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven."

We have been given the keys to bind up that which opposes the will of God and to loose His promises...not only in our own lives, but also in the lives of others!
We have been equipped with power and authority so the enemy can no longer rob us of our inheritance in Christ.

WE LET OUR FAITH IN HIS WORD ARISE

"Faith cometh by hearing and hearing, by the word of God." - Romans 10:17

We find our rest in having faith in His word. The report in the world may be sounding bleak and hopeless, but the report of the Lord has not changed.

"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it" (John 14:12-14).

This revelation roots us into a faith that brings forth works that really believe nothing is impossible through us in Him.
Let your faith arise... God is not a man, that He should lie (see Numbers 23:19)...if He has said it, then it is the absolute truth and we are nothing less than victorious by receiving it as such.
Jesus said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it WILL move; and nothing will be impossible for you" (Matthew 17:20).
