Look At The Word Not The Mountain

Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Most people would look at the size of the mountain, but the size of the mountain is not the issue, the power of the word is the issue. Notice, it says, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove. Well, faith comes by hearing the word of God. So, the question is do you have a word from God, that word is the power of God. Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. And God said in Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. That word void means without fruit, not sufficient to produce it's effect. What is the effect of the word, to produce a corresponding manifestation. Notice, you shall say remove and it shall remove. They had a word, "Cast out devils", and you cast out devils with your words. Now we know mountains can't move on their own, but the force of faith will. That force comes from the word, the word of faith. Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach. So, you can't separate faith from the word. So, if the word is in your heart then faith is in your heart. To the degree that the word is in your heart faith is in your heart. And when you release it, it is designed and powerful enough to produce a corresponding manifestation.

You see in Genesis 1 God said and it was so, he saw. So, the words He released produced a corresponding manifestation. Someone is probably saying, Well that was God. And it was also God that said that his word will not return to him void, but will accomplish. Accomplish what, a corresponding manifestation when it's released from your heart and out of your mouth. Just like Jesus in Mark 11 when he spoke to that fig tree, he said and it was so, he saw. Someone still probably thinking well that was Jesus. Yes, but look at what he said in Matthew 21:21 about that, Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. Now, watch this God himself made the earth, moon, and sun and set the earth in it's rotation. And you see in Joshua 10:12-14 a word from God out of a man's mouth stopped the earth. The earth rotates around the sun, what happened is the earth stood still. Now, which is bigger a mountain or the whole earth. So, don't get caught up on the size of the mountain, look at the power of the word you speak. It is always powerful enough to produce a corresponding manifestation, but it has to be released out of your heart and mouth.


It is not God's will that any should perish. And I wouldn't want to end this article without giving someone the opportunity to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It's very easy just pray: Dear God- I know I have sinned and I now turn from them and I invite Jesus to come into my heart (Revelation 3:20). He died for my sins and you have raised him from the dead and I now confess Jesus is my Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9,10). I thank you for saving me, Amen

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12). 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. Romans 5:8-10 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. [10] For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 2 Peter 3:9 King James Version 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
 
Less of me, more of you Christ Jesus that I will be full of your mercy and grace as you lead me I will follow.
