Prayer of Faith Moves Mountains
We often do not see ourselves the way God sees us, but the good news is we can. We have the great privilege and honor to communicate with our Creator, the Almighty God, who holds all power, who is all knowing, and who is always present with us. It is through these means that our identity is found in Him. We are created in His image. When we entered this world, through a natural birth, we took baby steps into every experience. Our spiritual birth requires the same growth process from one level of faith to the next. The scripture tells us that - “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). The more word we hear and obey, the more we will grow and see ourselves the way God sees us.
As we grow in the Lord, we become carriers of what His word cultivates in our hearts. We begin to walk in a greater measure of power and authority given to us upon the confession of our Faith as sons and daughters of God. This is when life begins, and when we know that God is with us and in us. As the scriptures declare, “we are in the world, but we are not of the world.” Therefore, as Believers we are citizens of the Kingdom of God - we talk different, we walk circumspectly, we live by Faith. As we pray in Jesus Name to our heavenly Father who sees us in secret, we have assurance that He will reward us openly. However, there have been times when we feel like our Father does not hear us praying, and we become discouraged, doubtful, and lacking faith when the answer does not arrive on our timetable. I encourage you that the God who hears our prayers is the same God who answers them in the proper time. Keep praying!
Jesus declared in Matthew 17:20 (ESV) — He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Faith in prayer moves mountains.
A Mountain is defined as “a large natural elevation of the earth’s surface rising abruptly from the surrounding level”. Circumstances may appear to be impossible to us, “but with God all things are possible to them that believe” (Mark 9:23 ESV). What is your mountain today? Do you have the Faith to speak to it and command sicknesses, diseases, setbacks and hindrances to go? Whatever it may be, I encourage you to look within yourself, and you will begin to see what God has placed in you—the Faith to speak to any mountain and that mountain will be moved. Whatever abruptly rose in your life yesterday or today, declare that “I AM A MOUNTAIN MOVER”.
Examine the prayer habit of David in Psalm 55:17 (ESV) - “Evening and morning and at noon. I utter my complaint and moan, and he hears my voice.” Daniel also had the habit of praying in Daniel 6:10 (ESV) - “When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day, prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously.” Jesus prayed in the quiet place of the hills and mountains in Luke 6:12 (ESV) - “In these days He went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.” Abraham, the “Father of the Faith,” exhibited the same habit of prayer in Genesis 19:27 (ESV) - “And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord.” We find out that we have many benefits when we pray and become more intimate with God. The following list contains a few of the many benefits that come from developing a disciplined Prayer Life free from distractions and confidence in moving the mountains that plague our lives:
