Today we shall be discussing faith that moves mountains . Are there certain mountains in your life that you have prayed over ? You have done everything that you know how to do , and they simply cannot move . According to Matthew 17 and verse 20 , jesus was speaking to his disciples and he says he replied because you have so little faith . Truly , I tell you , if you have faith as small as a mustard seed , you can say to this mountain move from here to there , and it will move . Nothing will be impossible for you .

I've often tried to ask myself what does it mean to have faith , and not only faith , but the kind of faith that moves mountains , that changes the things that trouble me or that I desire to have to own or to do ? I am reminded of what the Word of God says in Hebrews , chapter 11 and verse 1 . Now , faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see . The King James version says now , faith is the substance of things hoped for , the evidence of things not seen . So there are certain things that you hope for , you desire for yourself , for your family , but you don't see them . They are truly the evidence of what is not seen . But then we are encouraged to have faith . There is the reality versus faith . What does the reality tell you ? The reality tells me I either cannot afford this because I do not have money , because my bank account is speaking to me . That is the reality . That is what I see . But then life is spiritual and so we are looking at things from the faith perspective . Faith is the substance of things hoped for . Do you hope a better life for yourself , for your family , for your children , for your nation ? But you do not see these things . It is truly the evidence of things not seen . Do you have a problem that has been streaming through generations for your family , for your bloodline , even in your nation ? And here we're encouraged to speak to the mountain and tell it more from here to there . Are you hoping for something that you do not see ?

The Word of God in Hebrews 11 16 continues to tell us and without faith , it is impossible to please God , because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he is the rewarder of those who seek him diligently . Therefore , for you to have faith that moves the mountain , you must desire to please this God . Secondly , you must believe that God does exist and , thirdly , that you must believe that he is the rewarder of those who honestly seek him and then , therefore , as your faith is built up in your belief and in your hope for what you cannot see , you're able to stand on the promises of God over your life and indeed , say this mountain ought to move from here to there , be it a sickness , be it a luck , in one way or another , but the promises of God say that you will be healed , that you will be prosperous , that you will be the head and not the tail . Therefore , you're able to tell the mountain that is presenting itself that you are healed , that you are the head and not the tail , and that you will lack nothing at any given time because your God is with you . So let us pray that God will increase your faith and that you will indeed , with each waking day , be able to say to this mountain move from here to there .

Speaker 1 4:24

Let us pray Our Lord and our God be come before you this day with thanksgiving in our hearts .

Speaker 1 4:30

We thank you , god , because you are good and there is no other God like you .

Speaker 1 4:35

We say further help us in our unbelief and we pray that , mighty God , you will enable us to seek you and seek you diligently , because you are the rewarder of they that diligently seek you .

Speaker 1 4:48

May we stand on the promise that you have given unto us that , when we say to any mountain move from here to there , that we may be able to believe that every single promise in our lives will come to pass . And so , further , help us and build us to be able to see the things that we hope for and the things that we do not see . And we will hold on to the promises that you have given unto us , our families , our nations and everything that concerns us , that , indeed , at the end of it all , we shall be able to give glory and honor to you . Oh God , father , thank you , because your word is very clear , that you tell us to speak to the mountain and to tell the mountain to move from here to there . And so , as we speak today and every day of our lives , may our faith grow and may we be able to see that which we are honestly seeking you for . Father , we bless you and we glorify you , for we pray all this , believing and trusting in Jesus name , amen .
