At our prayer meeting the other night, Pastor read this passage from 2 Chronicles 20:15-17
As he finished reading it, the Lord spoke to me quite clearly and He paraphrased it Himself for me – "Listen, All you who have a serious problem! This is what the LORD says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this mountain. For the battle is not yours, but God's. Tomorrow take up your position against this mountain; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Face this mountain of yours, and the LORD will be with you.' "
Interesting, I thought. Jesus spoke about moving mountains didn’t He. In Matthew 17:20 - “He replied, “I tell you the truth, 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. Nothing will be impossible for you." “
I wonder how many of us have a mountain that we cannot move or get round or avoid? I wonder how many of us would still have that mountain if we trusted in God enough to take His Word seriously – with child-like faith?
The time is coming when we will all wish we’d taken God and His Word more seriously. For now though, as Jesus said – “Only believe” and watch God move your mountains. As a lady here in the UK (@BevKinnon) says “Don’t tell God how big your mountain is – Tell the mountain how big your God is!” We don’t always have to walk around with that mountain – it is so moveable with God helping us.
God can do anything. Is there anything too hard for Him? Is there anything He cannot understand? Is there any situation He has not seen and dealt with before?
Isaiah 40;12-14 says “Who has measured the oceans by using the palm of his hand? Who has used the width of his hand to mark off the sky? Who has measured out the dust of the earth in a basket? Who has weighed the mountains on scales? Who has weighed the hills in a balance?
Who can ever understand what is in the Lord's mind? Who can ever give him advice?
Did the Lord have to ask anyone to help him understand? Did he have to ask someone to teach him the right way? Who taught him what he knows? Who showed him how to understand?”
So you see, when your mountain comes knocking, God understands – He knows. There is always help at hand.
Its when we expect the most that God does the most. Expect little - receive little. Expect much & stand by for the avalanche of blessings ! Get rid of your mountain today – “ONLY BELIEVE.”
