Power Of Mole Hills

Key Scripture:  "Without faith it is impossible to please Him." Hebrews 11:6

                           "Nothing is impossible with God." Luke 1:37

Power Point:

     The truth is when you start letting the devil tunnel into your life, and then you choose to focus on the tunnel, you begin to form mole hills. Those mole hills can become very large mountains. Could it be that when Jesus was sitting with His disciples chatting one day, that they were talking about some mountains in their lives that were really mole hills?

     Jesus and His disciples had had a busy few days. He had been healing people, teaching people everywhere He went, and the people LOVED Him.  He had recently made His glorious triumphal entry into Jerusalem, cursed a fig tree it wasn't what it was supposed to be.  Then He cleansed the temple because it wasn't what it was supposed to be either! Following all of this, Peter looks at the now very dead fig tree and says, "Oh my goodness Lord, that fig tree that You cursed is DEAD!" (or words to that effect).  Then something very strange happens.  Instead of going into a lot of detail and giving step by step instructions on cursing unfruitful things, Jesus turns toward them, looks them in the eye and says, "Have faith in God. Because I am assuring you that whatever thing is a mountain in your life, if you have more faith in His goodness and His mercy than in the size of your problem, you yourself will speak to fig trees or mountains of any size, and they'll die or go skipping into the sea." (Suzanne translation)

     Beloved, it's not the size of your mountain-it's the size of your God.

Is your faith in the size of that obstacle in your life, or is it in the unlimited and extravagant power of God's desire to help you?  Are you making mountains out of mole hills? You need to remember that no matter what the size of the mountain is that you are looking at, it is a mole hill in His eyes.  None of them represent a problem for His power. And the really good news?  Because of Who He is, you can come running to Him boldly, expecting to receive grace and mercy, and perfect help just when you need it.

    Jesus said, "WHATEVER you ask and believe for, you will receive." He did not qualify the size of the thing asked for. In fact in Ephesians 3:20, Paul emphasised the size of our God. "He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all that we can ask or think, according to the power that works in us."

What are your words giving power to today?  Are you continually addressing the size of your problem or the size of your God? 

Something to think about isn't it?

Power Thought:

What are YOUR Words giving power to today?  How big is your God?
