Life Plan Devotion #58 [Mountains, Part III]
Hi, Everyone.
I apologize for posting so late today. My niece called, in crisis, so I needed to give her my attention. Please pray for Jennifer. She's a young, sweet Christian wife and mother, but the enemy is trying to "steal, kill, and destroy."
Today, we continue looking at how to move a mountain we're not meant to climb. Tomorrow, I'll post the Flashback Friday Devotion, and then pick up the mountain-moving devotion on Monday.
Have a great day, and, as always, I love to hear how God is speaking to you.
Life Plan Devotion #58 [Mountains, Part III]
Today, we continue looking at how to move a mountain. Jesus said, "'If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move.'" Notice that Jesus said, "say to this mountain." You must speak to your mountain.
Yesterday, I asked you to decide what mountain you want moved and to write it down. Today, I want you to decide if you're willing to speak to your mountain. It's harder to decide than you might think. You've got to open your mouth and speak to your mountain, and that takes determination and commitment, because you have to say what you mean and mean what you say.
If you're willing to commit to this process of moving your mountain, open your mouth and speak to your mountain. If commitment is not there, don't speak to your mountain, because your words will be meaningless. If you're committed and willing to exercise your faith (we'll talk about faith next time), in a firm voice, speak the following: "In the Name of Jesus, mountain of ______________, I command you to MOVE!"
Matthew 17:20
"'...say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there'..."
What this has to do with weight loss: I knew my mountain of 245 excess pounds had to move, and when I was in the hospital last June, right there in my hospital room, I spoke these words: "Mountain of excess weight, I command you to MOVE, in Jesus' Name!" I then prayed, "Lord, if You open the door to weight-loss surgery, I'll walk through it." What is your weight-loss journey mountain? Open your mouth and command it to move, and then pray for God's help and for wisdom to cooperate in the mountain-moving miracle that's coming your way.
Prayer for Today:
"Heavenly Father, I love that You've given me permission and authority to speak to my mountain and command it to move. I ask You to give me the courage to do my part, to open my mouth and say the words with commitment. Continue to show me, through Your Word, how to empower my words with faith. I pray in Jesus' Name. Amen."
