Talk to your mountains

I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain : 'Depart from there and throw yourself into the sea', and if he does not doubt in his heart but believes, that what he says happens, he will see it come to pass. Mark 11:23

When Jesus said we were to speak to the mountain and order him to "get out of there and throw himself into the sea", that was a drastic injunction.

You see, we usually talk about "mountains" or challenges in our lives, but God tells us that we have to speak directly to those mountains and respond to them with the Word of God.

In Luke 4: 1-12 when Satan tried to tempt Jesus in the wilderness, the Lord answered every temptation with verses. He tirelessly cited scriptures that directly countered the lies and deceptions of the devil.

"Perseverance is an essential key to obtaining victory."

When we go through hardships, many of us try to do the same for a while, but we get discouraged when we don't see quick results. We then stop speaking the Word and start speaking from our emotions again.

Perseverance is an essential key in obtaining victory. Continuously proclaiming the word of God is powerful and absolutely necessary to overcome problems and overcome difficult situations. Know what you believe in and be determined to stick with it until the end.

My prayer for today

Holy Spirit, remind me every day to speak to the mountains of my life using your Word. Whenever I surrender to complaint or despair, fill me with your peace and assurance. Give me the strength to proclaim your will and move my mountains !
