Honestly he has really been drilling faith into me I mean yes my faith is growing but the concept and actual essence of faith and really consider deeply if we really understand faith. I mean we study about it we say we have it but just seems off to me something is missing because one thing I can't stop thinking about is when Jesus said the most outrageous thing that with the faith of a mustard anything is possible with God that word anything really think about what word means
I mean is it just me or does it seem we are lacking this anything? Am I the only one seeing something here?

Just want to give a more detailed explanation of the `mustard seed.` Now, it is important to note that when we read what the Lord says to Israel, (under the law) and try and apply it to ourselves, you know what? - we get guilty. Why? because we are reading about under the law.
When Jesus came to earth He came to confirm to the people of Israel the promises made to them. (Rom. 15: 8) One of those promises refers to the `mustard seed. `
The Architect - God`s Design - Universal.
God designed the kingdom/rule of heaven to be overall and affecting all, (over the earth) - Universal.
The Mustard Seed - Jesus quotes Ezekiel`s prophecy that Israel will rule in a prominent place as ruler of the nations. (Matt. 13: 32, Ez. 17: 22 - 24)
God will...`plant it on a high and prominent mountain. On the mountain height of Israel, I will plant it; and it will bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a majestic cedar. Under it will dwell birds (nations) of every sort; in the shadow of it branches they will dwell.` (Ez. 17: 22 - 24)
`Another parable He put forth to them saying, " The kingdom (rule) of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in His field, (world), which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.` (Matt. 13: 31 & 32)
