On Faith:
“AND Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief; for verily I say
unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this
mountain, remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing
shall be impossible unto you.”
This faith of a grain of mustard seed has proved a stumbling block to
man. He has been taught to believe that a grain of mustard seed signifies a
small degree of faith. So he naturally wonders why he, a mature man,
should lack this insignificant measure of faith when so small an amount
assures success.
“Faith,” he is told, “is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
of things not seen.” And again, “Through faith… the worlds were framed
by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things
which do appear.” Invisible things were made visible. The grain of mustard
seed is not the measure of a small amount of faith. On the contrary, it is the
absolute in faith. A mustard seed is conscious of being a mustard seed and a
mustard seed alone. It is not aware of any other seed in the world. It is
sealed in the conviction that it is a mustard seed in the same manner that the
spermatozoa sealed in the womb is conscious of being man and only man.
A grain of mustard seed is truly the measure of faith necessary to
accomplish your every objective; but like the mustard seed you too must
lose yourself in the consciousness of being only the thing desired. You
abide within this sealed state until it bursts itself and reveals your conscious
claim. (Faith is feeling or living in the consciousness of being the thing
desired)"
