Mountains of Challenge
Question:
In Release the Power of Psalm
91, what do you
mean by "mountains"? What are the mountains we deal
with?
Answer:
Great question!
First, actually, we don't move the mountains. It is
the power of God that moves the mountains as we believe and
speak in faith for those mountains to be moved.
We all have different mountains at different times.
Those mountains can be challenges or obstacles (these two
are not necessarily the same things).
Some
Examples:
- Debt:
a common challenge for people
You speak to that
mountain of debt and command it be cast into the sea (Matt
17:20). You are releasing the power of faith in God
to open doors of opportunity and wisdom for you to move out
of debt and into that God-ordained place of having all your
needs met (Matt 6:21-15).
- Bad
influences on your kids: tough to deal with in your
own ability and strength
You speak in faith at
that mountain of bad influence (in some detail, possibly)
and command it be moved! God does the moving and the
rearranging. As you pray this way, the Holy Spirit
may give you some strategies for getting involved in this
mountain moving.
- Health problems: we
are all there at some point in life
Speak to the mountain of
infirmity, commanding it to be moved! Claim the
God-promise of Divine health. Jesus has born your
infirmities and paid the price for you to walk in wholeness
and strength. In praying this way you are simply
taking back what the enemy has attempted to steal from you.
The possibilities of
what the mountain could be are endless. God seems to
allow these mountains (challenges) in our lives for the
development and strengthening of our faith. As you
operate more and more in this way, you will find that you
have fewer and fewer mountains to contend with. And, over
time and pursuit you will comprehend more completely all
that God has promised you. This increasing comprehension
will strengthen you faith and inspire more faith-actions.
The day comes when you find yourself to be a person of
"great faith".
