                      Now Faith Is

Beloved, I have placed within each of you a seed of faith. Some of you 
have watered and tended and carefully nurtured that seed and have seen 
it grow slowly and surely over time. Some of you are in the process of 
learning how to nurture, cultivate and grow your faith. And some of have 
only begun to realize that I have placed that seed of faith within you.

Understand this: I am about to pour out an exponential growth upon that 
seed of faith upon any who will step out and believe. Believe in Me. 
Believe that I am who I say I am. Believe that I am a rewarder of those 
who diligently seek Me. Believe that when you decree a thing it shall 
come to pass. Believe that when you say to your mountains, "Be cast into 
the sea," your mountain will get up and move. Believe that you and your 
household shall be saved. Believe that I am the restorer of all things. 
Believe that nothing is impossible with Me. Believe, My beloved, believe!

Now, faith is arising. Your faith is growing. It is beginning to bloom 
and blossom and take shape and bring forth a harvest. Your faith is 
gaining My attention. Faith is causing My hand to move and your past
lack of confidence and assurance will be forgotten as you see the 
promises that I have spoken over you fulfilled. Now, you will see and 
you will truly know that I am God.
