Can your faith Save somebody else?

Today I listened to this podcast http://feeds.feedburner.com/PerryNobleLeadershipPodcast by Perry Noble and It asked an important question. "Can your faith save somebody else?" Check out the podcast if you have time its pretty legit. If you don't have that much time just read some of the verses he points to in Mark. (I've included them below to make things easy for you) The short answer I think is yes, YES your faith can save somebody else, when it is accompanied by action! In all the stories below, people who believed in Jesus took there friends to meet Jesus. Because of their faith they put their friends in front of Jesus. Some times they had to carry them, sometimes they had to go way out of their way but they did what ever they needed to do to get there friends the help that Jesus had to offer.

As a Christian I believe I once was blind but now I see, I once was lost stuck in Sin, depressed and with out hope. I'm so grateful someone brought me to a place where I was bound to run into Jesus because They believed God was willing and able to change my life and He has changed my life. I'm now able to see the Truth, I am no longer paralyzed by sin, and I have hope and Joy because of what Jesus has done for me and the love he continues to give me. For my brothers and sisters in Christ Its time we started putting our faith into action and started bringing people to Jesus and asking, and begging Jesus help them. Something tells when we do this we will be blown away by how Jesus responds

Mark: 2: They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Mark 7: 31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.[h] 32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sighsaid to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). 35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.
36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”

Mark 8:22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”
24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”
25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t even go into[a] the village.”

(P.s. If you don't know Jesus and still took the time to read this, thanks and I hope you come to know that Jesus loves you. Jesus loves the hurting, and the broken, and the came to seek and save the lost and the sinner Jesus paid the price for all sin on the cross. If you have an questions or want some prayer please message me or leave a comment, God bless)
