MATTHEW 17:20

 Once we make the decision to believe, we are in faith, no matter how we may feel, unless we make another
decision to stop believing. Because at its heart, faith is always a decision. No one can force you to believe in anything. The choice is yours. A definition of faith is: a decision, based on some evidence, resulting in some action. Faith in God is a choice to believe what God says is true. It is accepting God's Word as evidence worthy of acting upon.   Jesus did not say "faith the size of a mustard seed" as some modern translations say, but "faith like a mustard seed." The size of a mustard seed is only one of its characteristics. Jesus said if you had faith you would say, so faith speaks. Faith is not silent. We express what we believe by our words
and our actions. Faith is not a mystery. You never have to wonder whether you have faith. You know what you believe by what you say and do.



 So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you (Matthew 17:20).
