That Mountain Was Here a Minute Ago!!


I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go,
throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but
believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.”
 Mark 11:23
 
You’ve been faithfully abiding in the Vine.
You have been faithful to repent of sin in your life.
You have been quick to say “Yes” to God’s direction.
And still, the answers to your prayers have not seemed to come.
What do you do?
You stand in faith!
You persevere in prayer.
You don’t give up!
Jesus uses and a mountain to illustrate His point on faith.
What better picture of a natural, immovable object?
Man has built roads up mountains, around mountains and even through mountains.
Up, around and through the unmovable object.
What I am not aware of is any engineering project to literally move an entire mountain.
As I said, in the natural they would appear to be immovable.
But with God, all things are possible.
Faith, just the size of a mustard seed, can move (what seems to be) a huge mountain out of the way in your life.
Why does it not always happen then?
We give up.
We surrender our faith to the doubts and fears that make that mountain immovable.
Ask God to help you increase your faith that you might speak, without doubting, to the mountains before you.
I guarantee you that kind of faith, and the desire to walk in that faith, gets noticed by God.
Stand in faith!
