The Words of Jesus of Nazareth
Faith that Moves Mountains
 
According to your faith, so you will receive.
 
If you believe all things to be possible and leave no room for doubt, what you ask or command will be done. This is why I tell you: whatever it is that you desire, when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and you will.
 
As you live your life invigorated by the breath of God, the conflicts of this earth will be overcome by heaven’s power: and whatever you allocate on earth will be that which is in accordance to heaven’s plan.
 
Do not be afraid any longer, but believe. Everything is possible to the one who believes.
Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful and humble I come to You. Yet I wonder about all the thoughts that cannot be turned off, all the people I feel that have let me down, all the doubts about this one or that thing and which way. Then I read ‘The Words’ of my Lord Jesus and I feel convicted, brought down to my knees, weak, timid, I hear ‘O hypocrite’; where are my eyes of faith, my mind rooted in Jesus, my heart likened to Christ. Do I truly believe that ‘As I live my life invigorated by the breath of God, the conflicts of this earth will be overcome by heaven’s power: and whatever I allocate on earth will be that which is in accordance to heaven’s plan.‘ Do I truly practice what I want to believe or what I’ve been believing. Do I live my life as I am or as I have been. Only Jesus can separate me from ‘I am and I’ve been’, only Jesus can help me live my life in want. Always wanting Him above all else, always getting up after I fall, always forgiving and forgetting myself first after I stumble, always overcoming the conflicts under the sun on this earth by the power of belief and acceptance in heavens’ plan for me and the use of this time with You will prepare me and help me practice how to allocate each day, each moment to that want. In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, Amen.
No idle word should be uttered. I understand a word to be idle when it serves no good purpose, either for myself or for another, and was not intended to do so.
— St. Ignatius of Loyola
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 
1 Thessalonians 1:5-10
5 for our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake. 6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with joy inspired by the Holy Spirit; 
Matthew 22:34-40
34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sad’ducees, they came together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, to test him. 36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" 37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. 
38 This is the great and first commandment.  39 And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets." 
Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:
The Diamond in Your Pocket: Discovering Your True Radiance unabridged By Gangaji Narrated by Gangaji – The first major book release from Gangaji, describes our never-ending search to find fulfillment, which, paradoxically, is already present if we will only stop long enough to discover its true source. "I have discovered that it is actually impossible to find happiness," Gangaji explains. "As long as you are seeking to find happiness somewhere, you are overlooking where happiness is…in your true nature."
The Daily Message Unabridged by Eugene H. Peterson Narrated by Kelly Ryan Dolan – The much-anticipated daily "reading" version of The Message in audio format is finally here. Designed for individuals as well as small groups, The Daily Message combines Discipleship Journal’s renowned book-at-a-time reading plan with a flexible format that allows the listener to go through the Bible in one year or spread out the listening with an alternate two-year plan. This version provides monthly plans for 26 readings, and allows for reflection time, minimizing frustration. It also includes Eugene Peterson’s acclaimed chapter introductions from The Message.
