« I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart »
22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.
23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
From the context of our Bible reading today, we will describe mountains as structures or objects purposely designed to impede movement, interfere with communication, prevent understanding, and ultimately obstruct progress.
To obstruct in this regard is to oppose, disturb, attack, pull down, work against, or constitute a barrier to the success of an individual or project.
Some objects used in the Bible to represent mountains include barriers, gates, walls, poverty, sickness, slavery, sieges, and imprisonment.
All the examples mentioned here exist in physical and spiritual dimensions, but spiritual mountains are much more difficult to overcome.
Therefore, those who are held bound by any, or a combination of two or more of these factors would find it extremely difficult to succeed in life.
Anyone suffering from any such obstruction has his or her life characterized by hardship, time-wasting, stagnancy, barrenness, fruitless efforts, procrastination, and failure.
These conditions have consistently proven insurmountable by human efforts, but Mark 10:27 NKJV says
« But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” »
I pray that every mountain in your life shall be moved today, in the mighty name of Jesus.
« He told them, “Because of your lack of faith. I tell all of you with certainty, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you. »
Therefore, faith is required to move a mountain, be it of sin, poverty, or sickness.
My Daddy is the creator of heaven and the earth; all power in heaven and on earth belongs to Him.
He is greater than the greatest, He is the Almighty.
Therefore, His ability to move mountains and destroy barriers in your life is not in doubt.
« What are you, O great mountain [of obstacles]? Before Zerubbabel [who will rebuild the temple] you will become a plain (insignificant)! And he will bring out the capstone [of the new temple] with loud shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’” »
Furthermore, God has ordained and empowered His anointing as a means of destroying barriers and yokes of all dimensions, according to Isaiah 10:27 KJV which says,
« …And the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing »
Beloved, you can move any mountain blocking your path to greatness if you surrender your life to Jesus Christ and put all your faith in Him.
Prayer focus – Father, please move every mountain and destroy every yoke in my life today, in Jesus’ name.
