He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith
like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’
and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
Matthew
17:20
So! Realistically and
not insinuating that you haven’t experienced these mountain tops but the world’s
highest mountains range from about 29,035 feet to about 26,545 feet tall! If you
ask me that is a whole lot of mountain, majority of us will think of mount
Everest when we think of a mountain, or at least that’s what comes to my mind…..however
while I am on a visual stimulation kick, picture-this! Standing in front of whatever
mountain that comes to mind and then picture trying to move it whether it is
physically and or mentally, “how do you think that will work?” or should I say,
“How can you apply Matthew 17:20 while facing the mountain you are envisioning?”…….Take
your time and think it out really good-I have time…. (Don’t worry it’s not a
trick-question) Ok! Some of you can snap out of the “blank stare towards the ceiling,” lets re-group and really think of what the ultimate message is in
Matthew 17:20, even though we tried visualizing our mountain-moving-tactics it
still seemed humanly impossible-right? Which is absolutely normal…. understand
that in today’s world a majority of people are not necessarily and realistically
face-to-face with Mount Everest but! I can say this-though….. a majority of
people are facing enough trials and tribulations that seem like mountains in their
lives, Jesus was not insinuating that we use super-natural cosmic powers to
move a mountain just because we think we have faith, understand that a mustard
seed is one of the smallest seeds your eyes will ever see and all He was
stating is “just-believe,” note He did not say “if you have faith of an avocado
seed” or “if you have faith big enough like a baobab tree,” today might be the day that you are facing the mountain of foreclosure,
bankruptcy, job loss, family loss, cancer and or finical hardships, even though the realistic mountains are huge,
tall and mounted to the ground pretty tightly it can almost seem that way with
your spiritual mountain…if you are not too careful it will weigh you down and
overwhelm you with its heaviness, understand-while facing this mountain it’s
your time now to exercise the belief in your faith and instead of applying for
the high interest loans to pay your bills and put food on the table, believe
that God will come through-even in the last hour, so-what! The Doctors consider
your diagnosis iffy-God is the healer of all and as long as you have that
faith of a mustard seed your terminal cancer and or illness of a mountain will
move in Jesus name-I declare it! Brothers and Sisters….the point being before
you believe someone else and or something else for a solution to moving your life’s-challenging-spiritual-mountain,
believe in God-first and witness your faith breaking bondage's, loosing
addictions, loosing illness, and bring peace and comfort to you!
You have to have belief in order to have faith and
faith to have belief! The two are directly related and you can NOT have one
without the other!
Love You in Christ,
Memory
