Speak to the Mountain

Mark 1122-26
There is so much of the Bible we choose to take literal, and then there are verses like this...do we dare take it literal?
Step One: Have Faith in God... it doesn't just mean believe there is a God... have faith in Him...in who He says He is, in what He says He'll do.
Step Two: Speak to the mountain and tell it to be cast into the sea. Don't do it with doubt in your heart, but believe and what you ask will be done. Is it Mt. Whitney? Or other mountains in life...sickness, broken marriage, job loss... what is your mountain. Have you just decided to tell it to move, be cast aside, get out of the way, it isn't going to stop you...why? Because you have faith in God...He will see to completion all He has begun in you...He will bring all things together for good to those that love Him...He has given us all His riches in glory, if the flowers of the field are clothed why should I worry about tomorrow... All of a sudden the mountain isn't a mountain in the face of God!
Step Three: No doubt in your heart. Do you believe God or not?
Step Four: Whatever you ask in prayer, believe and you will receive them. But.... These are the red letters, people...Jesus said it, not me! But what am I to pray for, and am I believing in the prayer or God, who will answer according to His will and purpose? I say...ask, be bold, and ask again. If you aren't getting anything back from God, ask Him how you should pray and keep at the dialogue until you get an answer one way or another. God isn't deaf, he hears us!
Step Five: AND... Yes, Jesus said "AND"... when you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive them. I wonder if that is why we aren't getting answers? Just sayin'!
