Mountain Moving Faith

“So Jesus answered and said to them, Have faith in God. For assuredly I say to you whoever says to this mountain:, Be removed and be cast into the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says." (Mark 11:22-23).

The above verses is one of the most profound statements of Jesus about faith. Mountain Moving Faith (MMF) is a force that produces change and delivers results. Jesus was saying in essence that with faith you can remove the mountain of sin, barrenness, unproductivity, stagnancy, spiritual blindness and deafness, sickness, poverty, etc. In other words every negativity in our lives can be eradicated with our faith in God.

Below are attributes of Mountain Moving Faith:

1. MMF renames situations and conditions: God in trying to get Abram demonstrate MMF told him to change his name from Abram to Abraham even when he was childless. Abraham means the father of nations. Before Jacob became a nation, he was re-named Israel. MMF is a God kind of faith that calls things that are not as though they were (Romans 4:17b).

2. MMF is like a loaded or cocked gun aimed at a target: The Word of God is the bullet that is loaded in the arsenal of the heart of the believer. The mouth of the believer is the trigger that fires the shot aimed at a particular target. The target could be a mountain of stagnancy, sin, barrenness, sickness, child rebellion, etc. MMF is not aimless, pointless and targetless. ( Mark 11:24, Romans 10:10, John 15:7).

3. MMF does not disregard the facts of a situation, it simply do not accept ownership: A fedex mail (that demands signature of the recipient of the mail) is undeliverable until it is signed for and received. Likewise the negative doctor's report may carry your name, but if you continuously deny ownership it will eventually return to sender. Until you sign for a baggage that needs your signature, it is never yours. Stop signing for satanic baggages! MMF declares let God be true but every man a liar (Romans 3 4, Romans 4:19-20.

4. MMF employs the staying power of patience until results are delivered: MMF is a waiter or waitress that waits on God until He performs. MMF knows that once the need is classified as the will of God, it is deliverable! MMF is resolute, stubborn, determined and unwavering. It is ready to wait forever trusting in the faithfulness of God. (Luke 18:1-8, Hebrews 6:12, 1 John 5:14-15, Romans 4:16-23).

5. MMF operates on the wings of divine love: MMF is activated by the love of God in the heart of the born again Christian. The Bible says even demons believe in the power of God (James 2:19), but because they are evil they cannot create good. The human nature is inherently evil, and do not please God. Being born again is accepting the divine love nature in the person of Jesus Christ into one's heart (1 John 5:1-5). Anyone who claims to be a Christian and hates his brother is an enemy of God. To operate MMF effectively, the love of God must be bubbling in one's heart (Galatians 5:6).
