A Mustard Seed, #1
If you were not raised on a farm, you may not know how a mustard
seed looks. Imagine a grain of rice broken into four equal pieces or a
single ground of regular coffee. That is very tiny indeed.
Something that small is what Jesus was referring to with these statements:
Luke 13:18 Then said he, Unto what is the
Luke 17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of
mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the
root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
Luke 18:8 .. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he
find faith on the earth?
Luke 8:25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they
being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for
he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
You heard Jesus ask the question! He wants to know,
"WHERE IS YOUR FAITH"? Since we all live in TWO TIME ZONES, you
know where he is! In the bottomless pit we have 24 hour days. It is
“TODAY” UP THERE ALL THE TIME, and he is WITH US IN POWER as he
sits on Father's Throne! Don't you REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID?
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of
the world. Amen.
So where you are at your computer, tablet or mobile phone
reading this, feel free to tell him your answer. Firstly, do you have ANY
FAITH at all?
Every Word that comes from Father's mouth is defined as
"TRUTH". All you have to do is BELIEVE GOD and it will be
"counted as righteousness" as it was for faithful Abraham.
James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham
believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called
the Friend of God.
We have all heard that hymn, "What A Friend We Have in
Jesus". Do you want to be a friend to Jesus? I am going to
give you one mustard seed sized text written in Jesus' blood and quite
visible if you have a red-letter edition of the Bible.
the “mustard seed” text
_________________________________________________________
Matthew 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was
lost. 12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone
astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains,
and seeketh that which is gone astray? 13 And if so be that he find it, verily
I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine
which went not astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in
heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

I am tempted to bolster that WORD Jesus spoke with supporting
texts, but we are discussing ONE MUSTARD SEED, not many of
them. Whose will is done on Earth as it is in Heaven according to the
Lord’s prayer? Will He HAVE HIS WAY ANYWAY all DAY
"TODAY"?! Both Jesus and the Father HAVE YOU IN FOCUS.
They are resting on the Throne and watching to see what you will do with
this! They will not GO AWAY and "leave you alone"!
John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw
all men unto me.
John 6:39
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath
given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

Another (2nd) Mustard Seed
It is expedient to repeat what Jesus said about the “mustard seed”.
Luke 17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
Luke 18:8 .. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh
profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they
are life.
Do you really believe that? If you doubt it, ”where is your faith”, as Jesus asked? If you BELIEVE JESUS, it is counted as righteousness on your part. What I am doing is sharing a few “mustard seed” scriptures with you. It is “an exercise” for your spirit similar to “pumping iron” to build muscles. Are you ready to examine another seed scripture? This text also is written in Jesus’ blood. Check it out in your red-letter edition of the Bible. Now don’t be surprised by my characterization of those Words as “blood”. Jesus tells you this himself.
John 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Do you buy those Words and believe them? If so, you can test yourself with a new “mustard seed”. Sometimes it is hard to get men to focus on a tiny “mustard seed” scripture, because their eyes glide past them quickly as they read. But we will FOCUS OUR GAZE on exactly what Jesus is saying. We will see if it is TRUTH, or should we IGNORE it and pretend we can’t understand what he is getting at.
Another mustard
seed
John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is
coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they
that hear shall live. 26 For as the Father hath life
in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in
himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
because he is the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is
coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
That is a small sample of the Words in my KJV Bible. I counted 87 words in that text. My Bible is rather thick with thousands of words in it. Now when you consider what Jesus is telling us, he is saying, “I am a grave robber”! For everyone who dies, I am calling him (his spirit) to STAND BEFORE ME at Father’s Throne. Every person who dies, I will call, and “all those who come to me I will in no wise cast out”, John 6:37. I will give to them eternal life and THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH”, John 10:27-28! Perhaps you need to READ this again with your EYES OPEN WIDE! Did God give Jesus power to “circumcise” the spirits of men from their clay skin as they die? Do you have just a tiny bit of faith? Can you trust both the Father and the Son?? God gave EVERYONE TO BE BORN ON EARTH to Jesus as his personal property by the spilling of his blood on a cross, Psalms 2:6-8. He requires that Jesus collect his “pay check” by “calling all the names of FAMILY members as they appear in “the Book of Life” by their number. Every time he pronounces a TRUE HEAVENLY NAME, someone in the pit of hell comes out of his skin and flies away. Men bury or cremate their remains in most cases. This time we will ask Hosea to put this in perspective as the spirit taught him.
Hosea 13:14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
Please remember that salvation/redemption is a Father/Son “back and forth” game. Jesus calls the names, and Father draws their spirits to the Throne. Father can say this in His own Words.
Jeremiah 31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
I don’t know about you, but “87 Words” are a tiny sample of all the Words in the Bible. I will take that “second mustard seed” and put my faith in it! After all, Jesus said it!
