Using Matthew 17:14-21, the disciples could not cast out the demon, and then Jesus pointed out some factors that hindered them: Anything you can think of that serves as an obstacle to enjoying the best life God has for you, how then can you exercise your faith in moving them. Having identified your mountain (mountains in the form of difficulty, failure, and sickness, etc.). We have been able to discuss faith as it applies to salvation and also as the gift of the spirit we have also seen how faith no matter how small can move mountains, figurative mountains or literal mountains. For nothing can stand in the way of a man or woman of faith ( Mark 11:23 Matthew 21:21).
Faith removes them from our way, it makes them plain and they become as nothing before us. The mountain here is not a literal mountain that we see as we drive through our hometown, this mountain is a figurative mountain as expressed above. What are you, O mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel, you will become level ground ( Zechariah 4:7).Įvery valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain ( Isaiah 40:4). Mountains come to us in diverse forms, such as obstacles, opposition, sickness, death, difficulty, impossibility, and insurmountable situations.
We have seen and read of the great miracles that seemed impossible but done by the Holy Spirit trough great evangelists of our time, both past and present because of their faith in the power of the Holy Spirit. Even Abraham, the father of faith, had such faith in God to the point of sacrificing his son (God intervened and blessed Abraham as the father of nations).įaith in the gospel, which is accepting and trusting the one we cannot see, knowing that he died and rose and will come again - that is the faith of salvation in Christ Jesus, which every believer who has confessed Christ has received redemption for their souls.įaith, as the gift of the Spirit, is another example of faith we have read and even seen the apostle worked tremendously with this gift through the power of the Holy Spirit with signs following.
Faith has been wonderfully described in the Bible, used by great people who loved God and would do anything and everything for him.
