and said, “Lord, please show your tender mercy toward my son. He has a demon who afflicts him. He has epilepsy, and he suffers horribly from seizures. He often falls into the cooking fire or into the river. I brought him to your followers, but they weren’t able to heal him.” Jesus replied, “Where is your faith? Can’t you see how wayward and wrong this generation is? How much longer do I stay with you and put up with your doubts? Bring your son to me.” Then Jesus rebuked the demon and it came out of him and the boy was instantly healed! Later the disciples came to him privately and asked, “Why couldn’t we cast out the demon?” He told them, “It was because of your lack of faith. I promise you, if you have faith inside of you no bigger than the size of a small mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move away from here and go over there,’ and you will see it move! There is nothing you couldn’t do! But this kind is cast out only through prayer and fasting.”

We all desire to have faith that can move mountains. At some point in our lives we have had issues that we needed God to fix, change, heal, and provide for. Jesus said that all we need is faith the size of a mustard seed to move these mountains. In this 3-day devotional, we will see a small part of what Jesus meant when He proclaimed these words to us.
We live in a world where spiritual chains hold us back from letting go of our guilt and bitterness, and hold us back from a greater relationship with Christ. John Eckhardt’s three-day devotional plan will set you on course to prayerfully break your chains and renew your relationship with God. Give over your burdens to the One who cares for you and be set free.
Like your muscles, if your faith is not used it will atrophy. So you have to exercise it regularly. Start with this 3-day reading plan! Let your faith work and receive the grace from God!
This reading plan takes you from a heavenly peak to the raw reality of the valley. From glory to disappointment.
