What does Matthew 9 verse 29 mean?

Fear plays a large part in the life of the majority.

We all know the deep apprehension over the future, over the wherewithal, over the lives of others, and what must be gone without. 

Each one has some fear hidden. 

Again and again, you silence it, but again and again, its voice is raised. These things are part of the training, part of the necessary testing to find whether you can be found firm enough for the Master's use.

The time will come when you will look back down through that long corridor of time, and you will see that those patches of darkness were but shadows on the wall.

Faith is a very difficult thing to make your own, if it were not, then it could not work out and work in those wondrous things of God. 

You cannot step into that faith without preparation.

That preparation, the essential preparation by and through which only faith can be made your own. 

You cannot step into faith without having given of yourself. 

Acquiring faith was never meant to be so difficult a task. 

Christ understood, He showed the little child as the zenith of faith, that simplicity of faith, which a child represents. Faith has to be learnt. How? By simple acts, not only of the mind, but definite acts each day. Each day make a pact with yourself that one act of faith will be done, carried through.

If you cannot call upon from within the strength, which will allow you to do this, then say, once a week, out of seven days, mark one hour for an act of faith. 

Faith, which is of the mind alone may be good if it is a stepping stone to something better, but there is a terrific gap between that and faith in action—faith of mind and faith in action are poles apart.

In God's sight, there are no failures of faith—remember that. 

Grasp the value of your opportunities now—Put faith into action. 

Remember the words of Our Lord Himself—As thy faith so shall it be unto thee (Matt. 9:29). This is not only a promise, but is an immovable truth.

As your faith, so will it be with you, and when you are in your right home, you will find there, stored as treasure, your acts of faith, which indeed show love for Christ.

Comfort from the great Father-Heart comes to all. 

Only wish for faith, only desire those higher, purer, sweeter things, and Christ will complete that which you had scarce begun.

—Zodiac, the Christ Messenger
