Speak To Mountain Bible: Faith Activated

The mountains in our lives - they can be overwhelming, can’t they? Whether it’s a daunting challenge, a seemingly insurmountable obstacle, or a dream that appears impossible to achieve, we’ve all faced those moments when we feel like we’re standing at the foot of a towering mountain, wondering how we’ll ever reach the top. But what if I told you that the key to moving mountains isn’t about the mountain itself, but about the faith that lies within you?

In the Bible, we find a powerful principle that can help us overcome even the most daunting challenges. It’s a principle that Jesus Himself taught, and it’s one that can transform our lives and help us achieve the impossible. It’s the principle of speaking to the mountain.

In Mark 11:22-24, Jesus says, “Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

Did you catch that? Jesus is telling us that if we have faith in God, we can speak to the mountains in our lives and command them to be removed. But it’s not just about speaking words; it’s about believing in our hearts that God is able to do what we’re asking Him to do. It’s about trusting in His power and His goodness, even when the circumstances seem impossible.

So, how do we apply this principle in our lives? How do we speak to the mountains and see them moved? It starts with identifying the mountains that need to be moved. What are the challenges that you’re facing right now? What are the obstacles that are standing in your way? Is it a relationship issue, a financial struggle, a health concern, or a personal fear? Whatever it is, take a moment to acknowledge it, and then begin to speak to it in faith.

For example, if you’re facing a financial struggle, you might say something like, “I speak to this debt and command it to be paid off, in Jesus’ name. I trust that God is my provider, and I believe that He will supply all my needs according to His riches in glory.” Or, if you’re dealing with a health concern, you might say, “I speak to this sickness and command it to be healed, in Jesus’ name. I trust that God is my healer, and I believe that He will restore my body to full health and strength.”

Remember, the key is to speak in faith, without doubting in your heart. It’s not about the words you use, but about the faith that’s behind them. When you speak to the mountain, you’re not just speaking to the circumstance; you’re speaking to the God who is able to move it.

But what about when the mountain doesn’t seem to be moving? What about when it feels like your words are falling on deaf ears, and nothing is changing? That’s when it’s essential to remember that faith is not about feelings; it’s about trust. It’s about trusting that God is working, even when we can’t see it. It’s about trusting that He is able to do what we’re asking Him to do, even when the circumstances seem impossible.

In 1 Corinthians 13:2, the Apostle Paul writes, “And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.” Paul is saying that even if we have the gift of faith, even if we can move mountains, it’s nothing without love. It’s nothing without a genuine relationship with God and with others.

So, how can we ensure that our faith is activated in a way that honors God and brings about genuine change? It starts with cultivating a deep and genuine relationship with Him. It starts with spending time in prayer, in worship, and in His Word. It starts with trusting in His goodness and His power, even when the circumstances seem impossible.

As we speak to the mountains in our lives, let’s remember that it’s not just about the mountain; it’s about the God who is able to move it. Let’s trust in His power, let’s trust in His goodness, and let’s believe that He will bring about the impossible.

As we conclude, remember that speaking to the mountain is not just about moving circumstances; it’s about moving in faith. It’s about trusting in God’s power and goodness, and believing that He will bring about the impossible. So, go ahead and speak to the mountain in your life, and watch as God moves it in ways you never thought possible.
