How to move that Mountain and get your Miracle!
You can move that mountain if you can believe
So, how do you move that mountain?
Mark 11:22-24 (ESV)
22 And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
1. You must Speak to the mountain not God
Vs. 23- “whoever says to this mountain”
· It is God’s power not ours, but it is our authority
This is the Great Commission:
Mark 16:15-20
15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs.
· Aren’t we talking semantics? No
· We are talking success or failure
· One of the worst things you can do is to beg God. That is not faith.
· Been there done that-Didn’t work-ever!
· You must take your authority and speak it boldly from the heart-God will help you!
· God has helped me speak to the mountain hundreds probably thousands of times successfully now and move it:
· Let me share a few quick ones:
· I commanded Samantha’s dog who was having a seizure or some episode to be healed on two occasions-immediately she was. I didn’t have money to fix my car; it was undriveable and needed it to go back to work the next day; so, I commanded it to be aligned and divinely repaired-it was. I had a huge cyst on my body and commanded it to explode in the shower in Jesus name and it did. I had these migraine headache auras. If you don’t know what that is. It like flashing lightening in your eyes. I commanded migraine headaches to be gone and auras to stop and they did. Those are just a few.
· Now if you think I am bragging I am, not on me but how good God is. I give him all the glory. This is what normal Christianity should be like. You speak to the mountain and it moves. You must go after it with all your heart!
2. You must Make up your Mind
James 1:6-8 (ESV)
6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
· (Double Minded)
a. Ignorance-You just don’t know the truth
b. Wrong Teaching-Puts you on the wrong path
c. Fear-worry/anxiety (Give it to him)
3. You must Build Faith-muscle and Burn Off-Doubt Flab.
(Think of it as a gym)
a. Build Faith Muscles
· Faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing and oh yah hearing (Word) It’s the difference between just hearing and listening (let him who has ears to hear) They all had ears but not listening hearts!
· Promises
II Peter 1:2--4
2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,
4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature
· Meditate on the Promises (Chew on the Word)
Think about it/dream about it/See yourself doing it.
2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
(Spend time in them-let them soak into your heart from your mind with the Holy Spirit’s Help) ***
b. Burn Off Doubt Flab.
· You must work out to see the benefit
James 2:26 (ESV)
26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
· Faith without action is just talk. Actions without faith is presumption but Faith with Action moves that mountain
· Begin to do them. Everyone wants to walk on water, but nobody wants to get out of the boat.
4. You must do it according to God’s Instructions not man's thinking!
Proverbs 14:12 (ESV)
12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
· Is there a New Testament Model for what you are doing? (Man’s good intentions and natural way of thinking seems right and may be well intentioned)Man’s seem right because they are in his own eyes without consulting the Word of God.
· It must be according to the Word of God.
Hebrews 4:12 (ESV)
12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
· Here is the good news you will have help!
· I believe Lord help my unbelief (Jesus helped him to believe)
· Now we have the Holy Spirit=he is our is your helper and guide (Call on him to help you)
John 16:7-15 (ESV)
7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:
9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer;
11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
5. You need additional Power-You need the Mighty Baptism of the Holy Spirit*****
· This is what changed those wimpy disciples to Powerhouses for Jesus. It was the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with Speaking in Tongues
Jesus told them they needed this and wait till they got it. They had to wait. The good news is you don’t have to. You can receive it tonight. There is no getting around this. You need the Baptism in the Holy Spirit-It will take you from a girly man to a Man of God. It will take you from an ordinary Christian Woman to one who can raise the dead if needed.
Conclusion:
Are you willing to get out of the boat? God had to force the issue with the disciples. He had to test their faith. Except for Peter, they chose to stay in the boat. Later, they would have to get out of the boat and Move Mountains. You can do this too. If wasn’t just for them.
-BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
-Begin Praising the Lord in English or your native language --Now quit speaking in your native language - -And with simple child-like faith
-Believe and Receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit just like you would a gift. -And begin Speaking in Tongues
-Refuse to speak in English. It may just be a Word of two. A syllable or two. -Just keep at it and it will grow
-You may feel weird at first
-You might question is it me or is it the Holy Spirit doing this. It's both
The Holy Spirit gives you the language as you open your mouth and speak it out. It’s like on demand. This is so important. Don’t take no for an answer!
*****Keep doing it until you break through If you are unable to break through now continue to do this at home until you do!
So, how do you move that mountain?
Mark 11:22-24 (ESV)
22 And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.
