This is what
David did. When he faced Goliath, it looked impossible. All the odds were
against him. He could have easily gone around saying, “I know I’m supposed to
face Goliath, but look at him. He’s twice my size. He’s got more experience,
more equipment, more talent. I don’t see how this is ever going to work out.”
You can talk yourself out of your destiny. Negative words can keep you from
becoming who you were created to be. David looked Goliath in the eyes and said,
“You come against me with a sword and a shield. But I come against you in the
name of the Lord God of Israel. This day, I will defeat you and feed your head
to the birds of the air!” notice he was prophesying victory. He may have felt
far, but the spoke faith. I can hear David, as he’s going out to face Goliath,
affirming under his breath, “I am well able. I am anointed. I am equipped. If
God be for me, who dare be against me?” He picked up the rock, slung it in his
slingshot, and Goliath came tumbling down.
When you
face giants in life, you have to do as David did and prophesy your future.
“Poverty, you are no match for me. I will defeat you.” “This addiction may have
been in my family for years, but this is a new day. The buck stops with me I’m
the difference maker. I am free.” “My married is bless, secure, shield with the
blood of Jesus.” “My Children may have been course for a long time, but I know
it’s only temporary. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
There was a man in the Scripture name
Zerubbabed. He faced a huge mountain. To rebuild the temple in Jerusalem was a
big obstacle, with enemies opposing every step. But like David, he didn’t talk
about how impossible it was, how it was never going to work out. He said, “who
are you, oh great mountain, that would stand before me? You shall become a mere
molehill.” He was prophesying his future. The mountain looked big. But it
declared it would be flattened out. It would become a molehill. Here’s the
principle: don’t talk about the mountain; talk to the mountain. Look at that
mountain of debt and tell it, “You can defeat me. You’re coming down. I will
lend and not borrow. My cup will run over.” Whatever mountain you face in life,
no matter how big they look, don’t shrink back in fear or be intimidated. Rise
up in faith and tell that mountain, “You’re coming down.” Tell that sickness,
“You’re temporary.”
Say to that
loneliness, that addiction, that legal problem, “Who are you, oh great
mountain, to stand before me?” in other words, “Don’t you know who I am? A
child of Most High God. Haven’t you read my birth certificate? My Father
created the universe. He breathed life into me and crowned me with His favour.
He called me more than a conqueror. That means you can’t defeat me. You can’t
hold me back. Oh great mountain, you’ve got to come down. I will overcome this
illness or bad moment. I will break this addiction. I will pay my house off. I
will see my family restored. I will accomplish my dreams.”
Prophesy
victory. Prophesy breakthroughs. Prophesy what you’re believing for and God
will give it to you.
Jesus is the
way. Decide to walk with Jesus and say no to evil and Jesus will move away all
your mountains.
