Prayer and Bible in hand will help with understanding.
Faith is knowing so well that there is no doubt. As the disciples witnessed the miracles, their faith in Yeshua was strong. But as they quickly forgot them their faith became weak.
Yeshua (Jesus) indicates that one reason His disciples lose track of their faith is – a lack of reflection (thinking back on what they had seen and heard). They had forgotten the signs within the miracles that reveal who Yeshua is and what He does for those who believe in Him. Seeing can lead to believing; believing in Yeshua, the Word Of God, is faith. Forgetting what Yeshua has done leads to doubt. Doubt toward Yeshua (Jesus) is a lack of faith.
The substance and evidence of living faith are the works produced by it.
Remember the miracles throughout the word of Yahweh. All are given for knowing who Yeshua is and for leading us to salvation and life. Search the miracles to understand their meaning. Faith in action is knowing the way, truth, and life of Yeshua, who is the living Word and teaching of Yahweh. The works of Yeshua reveal Yeshua for who He is. They reveal that He is Yahweh, God, on earth with us, in the Holy Spirit, as a Son of Man and Son of God. And they reveal His love for providing our needs of every kind. This includes our need for His power to do all that He has called us to do. See the love and call in John 14&15.
Let’s look at Matthew 16:1-19
V. 1-4
Yeshua rebuked the Pharisees for their evil and blindness concerning the signs they demand from Him. He then reminds them of the sign of Jonah to remember, and perhaps come to repentance, and faith in Yahweh.
V. 5-12
Yeshua rebuked the disciples for having “little faith.” The signs of the bread and fish were still fresh and very easy to remember. He triggers their saas of them, revealing how to overcome their “little faith.” They were not remembering the miracles enough to understand the signs within them that reveal who Yeshua is and the provision He gives.
V 13-16
Remember the things revealed to you about Yeshua through the signs within the miracles. Focus on them. Faith is found in the revelation of who Yeshua is.
V. 17
By faith, we can be recognized by Yeshua as one who has heard from Yahweh.
V. 18,19
By faith, we can become a rock upon which Yeshua builds His Church, immovable against the enemy.
Faith For Miracles
Remember Yeshua working the miracles. See-through them to better know and understand who Yeshua is and what He is willing to do for us. We can only believe and have faith in what we know.
Remember the miracles in the scriptures. Find the signs of Yeshua within them. Each realization of a sign is an addition to faith.
These signs are bread and fish (manna from above and a catch from the earth) on the sea shore; fresh fish, roasted on (cleansing) coals by none other than Yeshua the Savior.
John 21:12
“Come and have breakfast,” Jesus said to them. None of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are You?” They knew by what they remembered that it was the Lord.
The miracles and everything else that Yeshua did and taught are written for believers to see and hear. Blessed with faith are they who learn, believe, reflect, and remember.
