Hopefully in reading this you will see and hear and understand. That these words will be a seed of faith, a testimony that eventually produces great faith in you. That you will see why the great commission of Jesus is, "Go, be witnesses, testify of me".

There are so many ways to plant and receive the seed of faith which is testimony. Writing the scriptures in various places, like Joshua wrote. On the palms of your hands, your door posts. Just sharing with others the everyday things Jesus has done in your life. One of my favorites is to keep a personal journal, where I write down all the little things as well as the big things.

It is my hope that after reading the Mustard Seed, you will start to recognize the real value of testimony and how it eventually produces faith. How in truth this is how we Increase our faith.

{4:23} If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. {4:24} And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. {4:25} For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. {4:26} And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; {4:27} And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. {4:28} For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. {4:29} But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. {4:30} And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? {4:31} It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: 4:32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. Mark 4:23-32

When the disciples asked Jesus
'Lord increase our faith'
Jesus answered saying,
'if you had faith as small as a grain of mustard seed'


There is a process to the development of faith
And the truth is it is actually very simple
It reflects the Genesis principle
Like begets like, you reap what you sow


If I take a mustard seed
As small as it is and plant it
I do not know exactly how
But I do know it becomes a great tree


A seed becomes a blade, then an ear then the fruit
Seed => blade => ear => fruit


Faith is as a fruit
It comes by hearing
Hearing comes by the word
But how does the word come?


Let every word be established
by the testimony of two or three witnesses


Testimony is the seed of faith
In fact you can see this in that
what your faith produces is a testimony!
When you share testimony of
what things God has done in your life
Each testimony becomes a seed
that can grow in some ones heart
And as that person hears more testimony
they start to recognize it as God's word
Then they hear God
Then faith comes and produces


Testimony => word => hearing => faith 


And THAT faith then becomes seed
Seed that person can scatter with their testimony


Like begets like
You reap what you sow
Testify of Jesus in your life
Plant good seeds
It will increase your faith


...If you had faith as small as a grain of mustard seed
