Good morning beloved!

In our lives, we all face mountains:  Maybe there’s a mountain in your finances and it doesn’t look like you’ll ever get out of debt; maybe it doesn’t look like you’ll ever accomplish your assignment from the Lord, or maybe it’s a mountain in your health where the doctors said that you’re never going to get well.

Family, a lot of times we’re praying about our mountains, saying things like, “Father, please help me!”  “Father, please make my family straighten out!”  “Father, please take away this fear!”

And, yes, it’s good to pray; it’s good to ask God to help us, but when you face a mountain, it’s not enough to just pray; it’s not enough to just believe; it’s not enough to just think good thoughts ~ Here’s the key:

YOU HAVE TO SPEAK TO YOUR MOUNTAINS!

Mark 11:23 says,

• For verily, I say unto you, that whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH.

Some of you are praying about things you should be speaking to.

You don’t need to pray about that fear anymore ~ You need to say, “Fear, I command you to leave me – Go from me ~ I will not allow you in my life.”

Instead of begging God to heal you, you need to start talking to that sickness ~ Say, “Sickness, you have no right in my body – I’m a child of the most High God – You are not welcome here.  I’m not asking you to leave; I’m commanding you to leave my body.

I’ve learned this family:  If you don’t talk to your mountains, your mountains will talk to you.

Either you can sit back and believe those lies, or you can rise up and say, “Hey, wait a minute ~ I’m in control here ~ I’m not going to let my mountain talk to me.  Mountain, I’m saying to you:  ‘Be removed!  You will not defeat me!'”

So, if you’re going through a situation that you’ve dealt with for a long time and you’ve prayed, you’ve believed and you’ve quoted Scripture, and that thing (the depression, the addiction, the hurt, etc.) hasn’t changed, you need to start talking to it!

When you speak words of faith, something happens in the unseen realm:

• Chains are broken
• The forces of darkness are defeated
• The enemy begins to tremble

When you speak in the authority of the Son of the Living God, then all the forces of heaven come to attention.  The mighty armies of the unseen, Almighty, Most High God, will stand behind you!  And no power can stand against our God!

When you speak and do not doubt, the mountain will be removed.

Speaking to the mountains,
