Most of you have read or heard of how Jesus took three of his disciples upon a high mountain which has come to be called the "Mount of Transfiguration" among Christians. Peter, James, and John walked closer to the Lord than the other disciples, and as a result Jesus shared things with them that He did not share with the other nine disciples. When they were coming down from the mountain, a man met them and begged Jesus to heal his son. The man told them that he had asked the disciples to heal his child, but they weren't able to. They weren't able to because they were lacking in faith. Just that. They were lacking in faith.
"...if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."
Matthew 17:19-20
How much faith is necessary to be a mighty warrior in God's army? A VERY tiny amount, actually. Have you ever seen a mustard seed? It is so small that if you're not looking for it, you might miss it. But, the Lord, in His mercy, asks that we only give Him just this much.
What about you? Is there a mountain in your life that you need removed? All it takes is enough faith to put your hand in the hand of the Savior's and trust Him.

Wow! How encouraging it is to know that God does not ask for very much, just faith that is the size of a grain of musterd seed!! How awesome!
