Mark 11:22--23 talks about the kind of faith that everyone would like to have. We pray for it, we seek it, we struggle in our spiritual lives for such faith... the kind that removes mountains and does exploits for GOD. There is no merit or ability or gift which we possess by our own struggling. That is one thing GOD will never allow. However, in seeking to obtain faith, men have in effect tried to put GOD in a vulnerable position. In doing this they have caused much confusion and frustration. The struggle to have faith has caused untold stress, unnecessary hurt and wounding in the Kingdom of GOD in the lives of people who have not been able to get healed. The struggle is real and evident, but it attempts to make GOD vulnerable. The blame for failure is put on GOD. They ask, "Why, GOD, am I not healed?" GOD will not be vulnerable to any man... to man's intellect or to his/her measure of spirituality. That is why I say that man has nothing in himself/herself but that he/she receives it from above. When we get gifts and fruits from GOD, they are perfect. We need not to struggle or fight to receive them or to perfect them. When JESUS said, "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing" [John 15:5]. The branches do not produce the fruit. The life comes from the Vine. We, the branches, just bear the fruit. That includes GOD'S faith.
