"I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible."
Matt. 17:20
Anna had been doing soccer that summer and was always coming home from practices with bumps and scrapes, all healing within a reasonable amount of time. In the fall, fourteen year old Anna went with her parents to the doctor to get a bruised looked at that just wouldn't seem to go away. They didn't think it was anything serious but they didn't know what to expect. At the end of September, Anna's doctor diagnosed her with a type of cancer called Leukemia. That Friday, Anna was sent to St. Judes hospital to get more test done to see how severe the cancer actually was. Her parents were beyond scared and feared for their daughters young life. On Sunday, Anna and her parents went to Church as normal; that day her Pastor reminded her of a verse in the bible- Matthew 17:20 that spoke of faith that could move mountains. "With this type of faith," Anna's Pastor said, "Nothing would be impossible." Anna knew she was blessed to have even fourteen years of life and knew she'd be blessed with many more years. She downloaded Matthew 17:20 in her heart and grew stronger and stronger in her faith everyday. She believed God could heal her no matter what condition she was in. Regardless of her circumstance, Anna knew that her God was stronger than any earthly disease.
How are we living our lives today?
Are we living in a "Nothing Is Impossible" mindset? Or are we still believing the lies of this fallen world? God can make the impossible possible. Any stronghold can be broken and any mountain can be moved.
