Move Your Mountain.

"...If you have faith as 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" Matt. 17:20.

Imagine a woman, barely five feet tall, with a scar on her head from a childhood injury, and no formal education. She’s born into slavery, escapes it, and then, against all logic and fear, goes back. Not once, but again and again. Her name? Harriet Tubman. Harriet was called the “Moses of her people.” And like Moses, she believed that freedom was not just a dream, it was a divine promise. She said, “I always told God, I’m going to hold steady on You, and You’ve got to see me through.” And he did. Tubman led at least 70 enslaved people to freedom via the Underground Railroad. She never lost a single passenger. Not one. She didn’t have maps. She couldn’t read. She couldn’t even rely on people to hide her, because if they were caught, they’d face prison or worse. But she had something else: she had faith.

Harriet said that every time she stepped onto a path in the woods, every time she knocked on a door or waited in a swamp for the cover of night, she prayed: “Lord, go with me. Make me invisible.”

And sometimes, it was as if she was. Slave catchers passed within feet of her group and never saw them. Dogs couldn’t catch their scent. Fires stayed low. She credited it all to the power of God. Later, during the Civil War, she even led military raids, guiding Union troops to free more than 700 enslaved people in a single night. But it all started with faith. Not faith in herself. Not faith in a cause. But faith in a God who sees the oppressed, and acts. That’s mountain-moving faith. Faith that risks everything, not just to believe, but to rescue. The kind of faith that says: “Even if I walk into darkness, You are my light.” Cultivating mountain-moving faith involves a deliberate process of shifting from passive belief to active trust in God's promises.

Faith is developed by immersing yourself in the promises of God, not by trying to generate confidence on your but on His written word. You must regularly read and study the Bible to understand God's promises regarding your situation. Meditate on specific scriptures until they become part of your spirit. You must learn to speak faith-filled words rather than voicing doubts or negative situations. Once you are fully abreast with God's promises, you must continuously declare God’s promises rather than agreeing with your circumstances, until things change. God has not called us to think about faith, sing about faith or preach about faith. God has called us to live the life of faith. That is the secret to a life of continuous victory without defeat. Selah!

DECLARATION: 

Dear Abba Father, I thank You for the gift of life and the privilege. Lord, I know that You are a mountain-moving God. Lord, I ask that You strengthen my faith to live by it, not by sight. Where my faith is weak, make it unwavering. I refuse to focus on the size of my obstacles, but on the power of Your Word. I declare that by the blood of Jesus, no mountain of stagnation, lack, or sickness can stand before me. I choose to speak to the mountains of difficulty in my life and I command them to move now in Jesus' name. Amen.
