Key Scripture: "Say
to the mountain, MOVE!" Mark 11:23
Power Point:
For
many years I prayed what some would call "widow's prayers". I believed begging God and convincing Him to
help me were the only things that would bring the answers I needed. When I
actually became a widow over twenty years ago, I was suddenly propelled into a
whole new dimension of needing to understand who God wanted to be for me. I had no one else to rely on and relying on
God alone was pretty scary at that time.
Gradually, over the years as I focused on Who He has said that He is,
His face has become clearer. I've grown
in understanding of the goodness of His heart and I have learned that, as Smith
Wigglesworth once said, "God is more eager to answer than we are to
ask." .
In the uncertain times after my husband's death He gave me three steps
to remind me of the certainty of my relationship with Him, the knowing that He
is always more than enough:
-Remember My Faithfulness
-Anticipate My Goodness
-Return to the Source of your joy.
As His children we have a covenant relationship, which is based on those
character qualities, His faithfulness, His goodness, and the strength of His
joy. When uncertain or difficult times
come, those are the three steps I take to remind myself of what I can expect
from Him. I take those steps and speak out all the promises that God has given
me. I "SAY" to the mountain,
"You need to move because I have a promise from God that says that when I
speak to you, YOU MUST MOVE!"
We are the movers and shakers in the kingdom of God. When we say what God has said, and set our
lives in agreement with what He has said, we become a powerful force for change
through mountain moving faith.
We do not declare the problem; we declare the promises of God over the
problem. We fill our hearts with His
words and His words ignite the faith that we need. He is God and God is love. If the future is uncertain, you can declare
that you have a hopeful future, because Love has said so. What He has said is
based on His faithful love for you and His loving goodness toward you. As you
begin to declare those truths, the joy of growing in knowing who He is and all
that He has promised returns you to the strengthening place of
His joy. The power that He has promised, through His own Spirit working in you
becomes effective and undefeatable.
We do not beg. We anticipate His
goodness. We do not try to convince God to help. The power of life and death is
in the power of our tongues. He's
already said it all! Our future
tomorrows are created by what we believe and say today. His Word saves us. His
words empower us and fill us with faith.
Power Declarations:
I am loved with a Perfect Love. I have no fear because Perfect Love casts out
all fear.
I know my God. He is Good.
He is kind. He is faithful. He
will always be more than enough for me. I
am a mover and a shaker! As I agree with
God, He is releasing in me everything I need to move the mountains that are
BLOCKING my way. I tell those mountains to "GET OUT OF MY WAY! Earthquakes happen wherever I walk. God is more than enough!
