In this message, Pastor Danny Strange unpacks Matthew 17:14–20 and reveals how faith is the key that activates spiritual victory. Through the story of the desperate father and Jesus’ powerful response, we learn that even mustard-seed faith can move mountains when placed in Jesus. Discover how a life of prayer, trust, and daily responsiveness to God leads us into true, victorious living.
Spiritual victory requires faith, but not the amount of faith we think—just a mustard seed's worth is enough when placed in Jesus. The disciples failed to heal the boy not because they lacked sufficient faith, but because they stopped relying on God and began trusting in their own abilities, forgetting to pray and ask God to do what only He can do. The victorious Christian life is simply cultivating prayer as a rhythm, responding in faith to whatever God brings to our attention, and actively participating in the work He's already doing."Spiritual Warfare" series • Danny Strange
