For verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a
grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to
yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto
you.
Someone
once said that the reason I can live like I do is because I have
"special faith." But, you know, that's just not true. I don't have
"special faith." God has given me the same measure of faith He's given
to you and every other believer. The only reason my faith looks like it
works better is because I use it!
If you've been living
in the shadow of a mountain, waiting for God to give you some kind of
special faith, make a change today. Step out and put the measure of
faith you have to work moving the spiritual, physical, mental or
financial obstacles Satan has brought against you.
Romans 12:3 says God has dealt to every
man the measure of faith. Believe Him! Step out in faith about that
faith! Say, "Heavenly Father, I thank You that through faith in Jesus
Christ, You have shared Your nature and Your Spirit with me. I am
grateful for the measure of faith imparted to me as a believer.
"I
make the decision today to walk in that faith—to put it to work on the
situations around me. I commit myself to operate in mountain-moving
faith, for I know that it is impossible to please You without it
(Hebrews 11:6).
"As I plant this faith and water it with Your Word
(Romans 10:17), I expect it to grow and overcome the mountains in my
life and in the lives of those for whom I intercede.
"Thank You, Father, that as I do this, nothing shall be impossible to me! In Jesus' Name. Amen."
The
era of massive fields of cardio equipment and warehouses of strength
training machines may still be dominant in extreme-fee globo-gyms, but
people have been rapidly discovering the problems inherent in these
membership-driven agendas.
