Mark 11:22-23
And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.”

Today’s little bible message starts with a very unique verse with the Lord speaking to His twelve apostles of having faith to move mountains. Jesus Himself may never have found it necessary to move a mountain, although He created them—“All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.” {Jn.1:3}

Or, on the other hand maybe He has! Remember that the Word says “Who is there who speaks and it comes to pass, unless the Lord has commanded it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High That both good and ill go forth?” {Lam.3:37-38} So let us consider for a moment the Indonesian island of Krakatoa. In 1883 the island experienced one of the most deadly and destructive volcanic explosions in recorded history. The eruption was heard as far as 3,000 miles away as the island mostly disappeared into the sea! Then it affected the climate around the world. And yes, there surely is a time coming when He will move mountains just as Isaiah prophesied, 'Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill made low...' {Is.40:4}
 
I for one believe the Word and take it literally, so of course while I know that as it says so many times in the Word that nothing is impossible with God, I also know with an absolute certainty that 'Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' {Rom.10:17} If then I tell a mountain to move and Jesus did not tell me to do that I had better have my hiking boots on because it is going to be a long, hard climb!
 
We must remember that power has indeed been given to us, but not to do what we want, but rather to be able to acomplish what the Lord wants. The Sadducees were told by Jesus that they neither understood the Scriptures nor the power of God. {Mat.22:29} We need to understand! The Holy Spirit who now dwells in us brings both the power and the understanding making the Word come alive in our hearts.

Jesus foretold that in the last days there would be a great earthquake such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth. {Rev.16:18} So I for one truly give thanks today for His gift of eternal life. He did something far greater than moving the earth when He went to the cross and moved you and I from the path, the broad road of destruction and led us through the narrow way that leads to life. {Mat.7:13-14}

It is written in the Psalms that if we delight ourselves in the Lord He will give us the desires of our heart. {Ps.37:4} Of course when the Word comes alive in us He will become the desire of our hearts—talk about moving mountains!
 
“Please receive instruction from His mouth and establish His words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored; If you remove unrighteousness far from your tent, and place your gold in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks, then the Almighty will be your gold and choice silver to you. For then you will delight in the Almighty and lift up your face to God.” (Job 22:22-26)
