Speak To Your Mountains

The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. (Revelation 6:14 NIV)
The fact that the entire sky receded or moved apart like a scroll and every mountain and island on the earth was moved from its normal positioning is both shocking and unbelievable in the natural realm. And yet, such is the awesome power of our God!

When I was a young woman in my twenties, I was continually sick with strep throat. In fact one year I had strep throat seven different times in seven months. At the time we were a struggling young couple with little income and no insurance. Spending money to go to the doctor was quite a sacrifice; groceries or medicine that was always the question. And now, frustratingly, here I was again with another case of strep throat. What to do? The doctor had recommended the removal of my tonsils some time ago, but lack of insurance had quickly ended that alternative. Frustrated I went to the bathroom mirror, opened my mouth widely, and peered inside. White pockets were visible on the right side of my throat and I noticed that swallowing was nearly unbearable. Not again I thought, as I sighed and sat down on the bed. Tears began to trickle down my cheeks and after a little while, seeking comfort, I pulled out my Bible and began to read. My eyes scanned the page and fell promptly on Mark 11:23 (KJV):

‘For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”

The words on the page seemed to pop out at me and I hastily read them over and over again. Everything happened so quickly that I didn’t have time to allow the doubts of the world to enter my mind or to listen to the doubts or concerns of others. I just dared to believe what the Word of God stated and what I had just read. I eagerly sat up in the center of my bed, Indian style at that, and began speaking aloud to God. I began to tell Him what I know He already knew:

“Father I have little to no money, a newborn baby, and I have had strep throat seven times in seven months. However, I know that You can heal me according to Your Word and I am asking you to heal me now by the power of your Spirit.”

I repeated the scripture, Mark 11:23, over and over again aloud, in belief and in desperation. Suddenly I felt a gentle nudge and realized that my body was falling back on the bed. A warm rush of heat flushed the right side of my throat and I knew instantly that I had been healed. I sat up quickly and ran to the bathroom mirror with my mouth opened wide. The white pockets that were lining my throat were gone! They had disappeared! I swallowed multiple times with no pain at all and then began rejoicing, weeping and praising the Lord.

Since receiving that special healing touch from God, I have never had strep throat again. In fact, I have even managed to keep my tonsils as well. That experience opened me to a new realm of belief that has allowed me to experience multiple healings throughout my life by the Spirit of God, for myself and for many others. God moved a mountain for me that day and I don’t know exactly all the reasons why. But this much I do know, God showed me His glory that day and He showed me that He is true to His Word and He wants us to dare to believe!

Many believers spend time praying to God about their mountain. They describe the mountain in full detail to God. They inform God of the exact dimensions of the mountain. They even cry and moan to God about what a hindrance or impossibility the mountain is in their life.

Some people use the “mountain” as an excuse for nonperformance in their Christian life. Other people make up doctrines and traditions about God, to justify why the mountain is still in their life. Repositioning mountains or islands on the earth as stated in Revelation 6:14; this is nothing for Our God. The creator who made the earth could certainly choose to relocate mountains or islands or any parts He chooses. His power is endless and His Word is always true! I believe that God is just waiting for us to come in His authority and to speak to the mountains in our own life and to tell them to be removed!
So speak to your Mountains my friends!

And Dare to Believe!
