Mustard Seed Faith

From the 17th chapter of Mathew;

"Truly I tell you, 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. Nothing will be impossible for you."


Last Sunday I blogged about a man named Bill Wilson. He is a homeless man who prayed to God without ceasing for a job and a pair of shoes. He got both!

Today Bill showed up in the park for two reasons. One was to find me, and the other was to eat some of our good cooking! Today's menu was homemade chicken noodle soup, peaches, oranges, green beans, applesauce, bread, donuts and water! Not bad!
So on to the good part....Bill came to give me something. He said that he was not able to go to church this morning because he was working (Yea, you go Jesus!) and came to the park on his lunch break. He asked if he could give me his tithe to either give to my church or to put towards our ministry in the park. What? A homeless man wants to tithe? How stinkin' cool is that??

Before last weekend, Bill had no job and a pair of shoes that had seen their last mile. He put his faith in The Lord to provide for his every need.
Because of that faith and trust, Bill is a walking testimony of how God can move mountains out of our way.

Each Sunday I am blessed beyond my wildest dreams! I go to the park expecting for Jesus to show up in mighty ways, and He always does!
I love to hear the success stories from the same people that I have listened and prayed with about their bad situations. God does move mountains, we just need to have Mustard Seed Faith!

When I got home, I took the money Bill gave me out of my pocket. I was expecting to see a few dollars. Imagine my surprise to pull a lot more than that. Today Bill Wilson gave $55.00 to his Lord!

If that story can't humble us I'm not sure what will. There are many tithe pastors that would love to use this message on sunday morning. Go God!! and thank you for sharing Heidi
