Shouldn't it rather be that the supernatural challenges us? Where is our faith? We hear testimonies and scoff? Such little faith, wouldn't you say? Our faith should be ever growing, not finding reasons to disbelieve. Skepticism and doubt are a hindrance, dare I say naivety would be far more productive in our walk. This is after all a walk of faith.
Why place limits in our hearts and minds that could possibly rob others? No, let there be no limit, no ceiling, and no boundary. Anything is possible with God! All things are possible! Do you know who God is!? Come now, do not reason yourself into limiting what God can do through you with your limited mindset. No, all things are possible. God is sovereign.
(no limit, no ceiling, and no boundary.??????????
I think first and foremost we would first ask our selves “whose faith’ It seems to get turned upside down many times, as if there was no boundries.
Did you mean the supernatural “faith of God” that does challenge the believer? Or our own faith (no faith) that comes from the imaginations of ones own hard heart which is desperately wicked and beyond repair?( No man can know it)
The faith of God is the work of Christ as a labor of His love. It which is not of our own will works within the believer’s new heart to both will, the commandment and perform His good pleasure of that will. This is as the author of the will and perfecter, the one who completes His will .
1Co 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it,
why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
The opposite of the faith of Christ is no faith .Faith in that way when used in a positive way is always in respect to the faith of God. In that way we can understand that natural man has no faith in respect to the faith of Christ. Not little but none.
Deuteronomy 32:20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is
no faith.
Therefore to not exercise the faith of Christ that does work in the believer to both will and do His good pleasure is to sin. Anything that does not come from hearing his voice of faith as the same spirit of faith according as it is written.. is sin.
That perfect faith could be reckoned as little faith seeing it is by the faith of Christ that we have been born from above. But little faith is never reckoned after natural man.
Little faith is not used in respect to the forward generation (natural man)
Matthew 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of
little faith?
When Christ spoke of little faith it was in respect to His own which they did not abide in at times.
By a work of Christ's faith he rebuked the wind and sea as a faithful Creator
Matthew 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of
little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
Matthew 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of
little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
Doubt is not the opposite of faith the opposite is no faith, as in unbelief.
When ever Christ would speak a parable he would hide the spiritual understanding from the disciples in order to teach them about faith... as to who it comes from and what it accomplishes as a work .When they did not understand the parable they immediately would look to each other as if Christ was not there as the Son of man .It would become “who is the greatest” (philosopher) as the reasoning authority walking by sight.
Matthew 16:8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of
little faith, "why reason" ye
among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
Rather than resoning by the word of God's law thye did reason after the philoshies of this world (no faith) propmoted by the god of this world as in natural man

He places the limits and applies them to his own self.
Psalms 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast
magnified thy word above all thy name.
Why would we assume we are the not limited according to our own hearts and minds and rob God of His glory? All things within the limit of His revealed mind are possible but we are to never go above that which is written .Therefore we do not reason within ourselves into limiting what God can do through limited mindset.(no faith... not little)
