PART 1: THE SOURCE OF MOUNTAIN-MOVING POWER
Matthew 17:20 (NLT) – “You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.”
Mark 11:22-24 (NLT) – “Then Jesus said to the disciples, ‘Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, “May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,” and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.'”
Three Ways To Position Your Faith:
1. In His Faithfulness
1 Corinthians 10:13 (NLT) – “The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.”
2. In His Power
Ephesians 3:20 (NLT) – “Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”
3. Faith Positioned in His Wisdom
James 1:5 (NLT) – “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.”
PART 2: FAITH THAT CREATES KINGDOM INFLUENCE
1 Corinthians 2:4-5 (NLT) – “And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God.”
PART 3: CATCHING THE VISION
Romans 4:17-18 (NLT) – “That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, ‘I have made you the father of many nations.’ This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing. Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations.”
Ephesians 1:19-20 (NLT) – “I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.”
PART 4: STEPPING INTO ACTION
James 2:26 (NLT) – “Just as the body is dead without breath, so also faith is dead without good works.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT) – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
Three Practical Ways To Position Mountain-Moving Faith:
1. Instead of avoiding difficult assignments, identify which mountain God wants to move through correctly positioned faith.
2. Take concrete steps toward breakthrough based on God’s character rather than circumstances you can see.
3. Position yourself to give God glory when breakthrough happens.
Three Common Obstacles:
—“This obstacle is too big to overcome.”
—“I’ve tried to move mountains before and failed.”
—“This mountain needs to move now.”
Hebrews 11:1 (NLT) – “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.”
