Speak to the Mountain before you about Jesus and His Blood

Text: Luke 8:22-25, Mark 11:23

The Lord had just taught His disciples the parable of the sower, and advised in verse18, that they should take heed what they hear. What you give your attention to: your eyes to see and your ears to hear determine whether you live by faith or fear or worry.

Afterwards He told them they should go to the other side of the lake and they launched forth. The Lord obviously knew what he would do(John 6:6) and was teaching them how to operate in faith. The storm was boisterous and fear came to the disciples instead of faith. They heard in their ears based on what they saw that they were going to perish if help did not come, even though their faith-JESUS CHRIST was with them in the ship. The circumstances spoke to them; just like the fig tree spoke to Jesus in Matthew 21:19.Every thing God created speaks, whether audible or inaudible voice. They speak blessings or cursing, fear or faith, victory or failure, poverty or riches, sickness or health. Man is the deciding factor. His agreement or disagrement with thecircumstances determines what prevails.

They woke Him up from sleep, instead of rebuking the storm or speaking to the mountain in His Name. Then He asked them , where is your faith?You may be passing through a storm now, and you are wondering! Lord are you there? He hath said " I will never leave you nor forsake, so that you may boldly say, the Lord is my helper, and i will not fear.........(Hebrews 13:5). He that is you is greater than he that is in the world(1 John 4:4).Remember Christ is you the hope of glory(Colossians 1:27)

In the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be confirmed (2 Corinthians 13:1). Jesus said " He gave us mouth and wisdom, no adversary can gainsay(Luke 21:15). Use your mouth to plead the blood of Jesus(the wisdom of God) against the adversary or mountain and to claim your righteousness and blessings in Christ Jesus today( the blood is the price paid by the Lord for your blessings) and let the blessings flow so that you can be a channel of blessing to the world around you as a cson or daughter of Abraham(Genesis 12:3, 22:17-18, Galatians 3:29)

God bless you as you spend quality time in prayers and meditation on the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross and the word of God this year to shine the light in you -Christ Jesus for the world around to be blessed. The gentiles and kings are eagerly waiting to come to your light (Isaih 60:3). SO LIGHT UP YOUR WORLD!
