TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"And Jesus answered them, Truly I say to you, if you have faith (a firm relying trust) and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it will be done"
Matthew 21:21
TODAY'S WORD:
I can remember my years at East Carolina when one of my many jobs to eat, cloth and house myself while trying to get an education was that of a Coca Cola route salesman. Each day I would begin with hand truck after hand truck of sodas to put on the shelves. I would always tell the new men I was training that we move mountains every day. Usually halfway through the first day I could tell which guys would make it and who wouldn't be back the next day. You see not everyone feels up to a challenge.
My friends we've all had seasons when the challenges of life feel overwhelming. During those times, it's easy to be tempted to talk about how bad things are or just how bad you want to quit. Maybe you received a bad medical report, or maybe you're facing a financial obstacle. But the more you talk about something, the bigger it becomes in your mind. Instead, you've got to dig your heels in and say,
"No, I am not going to give life to that defeat. I am not going to speak sickness over myself. I'm not going to speak lack. I'm not going to speak fear. I'm choosing a different report. I believe the report of the Lord which says I am blessed. I am favored. I am prosperous. I am healthy. I am whole. I'm a victor, not a victim."
Selah people' and friends remember, even if you don't see how things could ever work out, God does. You've got to speak to those mountains in your life and declare favor over those situations. Instead of talking to God about how big your problems are, talk to your problems about how big your God is! As you speak to your mountains, they will be moved, and you will move forward into the victory God has prepared for you!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word which is life to my spirit. I receive Your strength today and choose to speak to the mountains so I can move forward in the victory You have in store for me. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
In Christ service,
