Mark 11:23-24 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea!’ and does not doubt in his heart in God’s unlimited power, but believes that what he says is going to take place, it will be done for him in accordance with God’s will. For this reason I am telling you, whatever things you ask for in prayer in accordance with God’s will, believe with confident trust that you have received them, and they will be given to you.
This Scripture is a very familiar passage to many Christians, especially if you learned under Kenneth Hagin’s ministry. It is a foundational word that we can base our faith upon. Notice that Jesus tells us “……to say to this mountain……”. This requires us to do something in order for the mountain to move. Faith just doesn’t happen because we are born again. We have to speak it out of our mouth.
There are many things that can represent a “mountain” in our life. Your mountain may be financial, physical, emotional, mental, or all of the above. You may see your mountain in front of you on a daily basis, but it’s not going to go away on its’ own. Ignoring it or wishing it to go away is not going to change the fact that the so called “mountain” exist. Complaining about it, telling others it exist, or even telling God about your “mountain” is not going to change your situation.
The only way to make your “mountain” disappear is to speak to it. Telling others about it will not change it. Telling God about it will not change it. It’s time to stand up and tell that “mountain” how big your God is! Tell that financial debt it has to go because you’ve given your tithe to the church and god promises you increase. Speak to your body and tell it to be made whole because by the stripes of Jesus you are healed. Claim salvation for your family because the Bible says you will be saved and your household. The more you speak to the “mountain”, the smaller it will become. Before you know it, that big old “mountain” will look like a tiny little ant hill. When that happens, step on it and squash it!
Now, that’s how you get the God kind of faith to work for you. But, it will only happen when you speak it out of your mouth. So, meditate on the scripture above. Get in the Word and find out what God says about your situation. Before you know it, your faith will grow stronger and stronger and you will become a Mountain Squasher who is able to tackle any problem that stands in your way!
