                       Ask Me To Increase Your Faith

Dear child, don't you know by now that I am a God who responds to faith?
Faith pleases Me. I like it when you exercise your faith by stepping out
to obey Me in the things that I have command you to do.  That is why I
want to increase your faith and make it grow.

You have heard Me say that without faith it is impossible to please Me*.
Child, I was not lying when I said that; it is very true.  But do not fear,
for I know your faith is not perfected yet, and I am willing to give you
the faith that you need if you will just ask Me for it.

Do you remember the father who asked My Son to heal his child?  Jesus
responding by asking him if he had faith.  That father's response
pleased Me greatly.  He said, "Lord, I believe, but help My unbelief."
That was enough for Me.  I answered his request and I deposited the
required faith within him so that his child was healed.

If you have simply enough faith to come to me and to ask Me for more faith,
then I will increase it for you.  I will cause your faith to grow, little
by little, step by step, until you are able to walk on water with My Son.
I will make your faith grow until you are able to cast out the most
resistant of the demons in My Son's name, and until you are able to move
the mountains.  Dear child, I want you to grow in faith.

When you ask Me to increase your faith, you ask Me for something that I
desire to do for you.  You will see that prayer answered; you will see
greater measures of My anointing rest upon you and you will see greater
measures of My glory and of My power flow through you.  Ask Me for the gift
of faith that moves mountains, and I will surely give it to you, for I am
your loving heavenly Father Who does not withhold good gifts from His
precious children.

So ask Me for faith and you shall surely receive it.  You faith will begin
to grow from the moment you ask.  It will continue to until you reach the
point where you can do all the things that My Son did when He walked on
this earth.

Ask Me for faith and receive it from My hand.

* Hebrews 11:6
