Speak God's Word to the Mountain

Speak God's Word to the Mountain 

When Jesus said that we are to speak to the mountain, commanding it to be lifted up and thrown into the sea, He was making a radical statement. 

See, we usually talk about the "mountains," or challenges, in our lives, but God's Word instructs us to talk to them. And when we do, we must respond to them with the Word of God. 

In Luke 4, when Satan was trying to tempt Jesus in the wilderness, the Lord responded to every trial by speaking Scripture. He repeatedly quoted verses that met the lies and deceptions of the devil head-on. 

We have a tendency to try this for awhile, but when we do not see quick results, we stop speaking the Word to our problems and begin once again to speak our feelings. Persistence is a vital link to obtaining victory. 

Constantly speaking the Word is powerful and absolutely necessary in overcoming any problem or negative situation. Know what you believe and be determined to stick with it to the end. 

Prayer Starter: Holy Spirit, remind me daily to speak the Word to the mountains in my life. Every time I give in to complaining or despair, fill me with Your peace and boldness and prompt me to speak Your will and move mountains!

Surrender

God cannot work His 'magic' in your life if you don't give your life to him. He desires for us to completely trust Him with every part of our life, and surrender it to Him so that He can mold us into a beautiful piece that glorifies Him.
 For example, I have a pen in my pocket. The pen is absolutely surrendered to the work of writing. It must be completely surrendered to my hand if I am to write with it. If someone else also holds the this pen I cannot write properly.

Do you think God can work His work, or His desire in your life, unless you are totally given up to Him? Of course not.

My Prayer: Oh God, I am willing for You to make me willing to surrender my complete life, being, job, relationships, health to You.
