Mat 21:18-22 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
I told the parable of the fig tree to explain how I have waited long for fruit to bear in My Church. I then further demonstrated by this fig tree that no fruit had bared when I came to it with hunger, for I was hungry and it fed Me not.
Beloved, you ask that I grant you Kingdom power to do the works that I did. What a mighty and bold request it is. As your faith grows and your doubts dispel you shall see that it must be Me that you serve and worship and not an ideology.
My disciples came apart with Me and learned of Me. Paul dare not go forth until he had spent three years apart receiving inspiration, not after man, but by revelation of Me.
When you see the faith of one that you envy, know that one set aside self to follow Me as they died to self, in essence, laying all upon the altar, and accepting the dealings of God to push them further along in faith into Kingdom power.
I have placed you where I placed you so you would learn not to walk in the natural, but in the supernatural. Have faith then in Me that I am on Your side and growing your faith as You have asked.
With Love Eternal,
Jesus
Jesus does not expect us to be superstars. What He expects is that we reflect His Light so brightly that others will be drawn to Him desiring also to be His disciples and entrusted ones as we are.

About Me
- editor
- Statement Of Faith: 1.) I believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, without error as originally given; it is the final and infallible authority in matters of faith and practice. 2.) I believe in the Trinity, one God is Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3.) I believe that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, and rose bodily and literally on the third day. 4.) I believe man is by nature lost and in need of a Savior. By repenting of sin and accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior (by faith alone), we become right with God: our sins are forgiven, heaven is our home, and we will live with our Lord and other believers for ever. Good works may evidence our salvation, but we are saved by God's grace apart from our works. 5.) I believe that those who have not received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will be separated from God and experience His judgment forever. 6.) Jesus will one day return to to establish His Kingdom. He will judge the living and the dead.
