The Power To Move The Mountain

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.
