Faith can move mountains!

Have you heard that before? I have and can say i have experienced it too. There is truth to it either literally or figuratively.
All motivational speakers refer to faith in some context or the other. The Bible too has several references highlighting the power of 'Faith'

'I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there" and it will move.' -Matthew 17:20

'If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believeth.' -Mark 9:23

Definition : Faith is the confident belief in the truth of or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing. It is also used for a belief, characteristically without proof.

My View: Faith to me is a deep belief ...could be in my abilities, could be in the outcomes i seek, or it could be in the supreme power of God...

Looking at it practically: People may say "Move a mountain??!! Not a chance". I decided to look it from a simplistic form for now i.e. Lookin at it as a metaphor ..mountains representing our problems. If i do not believe i can resolve them then there is almost no chance whatsoever of a resolution coming forth. My efforts in 'moving those mountains" will either be non existent and/or meaningless. Mentally am also likely to be unaware even if a resolution presents itself in front of me. So with the resolution staring in our face we never notice it as a possible solution. This is because we do not believe that a resolution can be found. If nothing else, going in with Faith exponentially increases your possibility of success.
Faith garners potential and forces within you that you most probably have no clue exists and puts them into action to resolve the "mountain". You begin to do things positively and achieve positive results.
Faith helps loosen the constraints and chains within ourselfs. Imagine yourself jumping over a ditch whose width is about the maximum distance you have ever jumped in your life ....and the ditch is deep, let say life threatening, ..you need obviously need a good run up to clear it and you probably will i.e. only if you believe. Because if your belief is waning you are in all probability going to falter in the run up itself or at the take off, as, part of u wants to stay back down on this side and you are likely to be swallowed by the ditch by that half attempt. Run in faith and you are likely to clear the ditch by a margin to spare too.

I have faith that the rule of Faith applies to bigger things including making a mountain move.

Thus Keep the Faith ...forces of nature work in conjunction with Faith and so does everything around you. Keep believing in all that is good and progressive .
