Moving mountains

Cathedral Peak mountain range, Drakensberg, South Africa

Yesterday someone gave me a scripture linked to a prophetic word which made me research deeper into what God’s Word says about removing obstacles from our path. It could be that you need a financial or business breakthrough, or a healing, or a relationship issue resolved. All of these things can seem to be like a mountain, or like a solid metal gate that we cannot pass through. But God! My faith is strengthened and built up by meditating on these verses:

And He said, Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord. And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake 1 Kings 19:11

Is not My word like fire that consumes all that cannot endure the test? says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks in pieces the rock of most stubborn resistance? Jeremiah 23:27

I will go before you and level the mountains to make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut asunder the bars of iron. And I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, Who calls you by your name. Isaiah 45:2-3

For He has broken the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron apart. Psalm 107:16

Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. Mark 11:23

You cannot actually meditate on a verse if you don’t memorise it. The secret is to memorise it, and then to speak it out, often, during the day. Once memorized, you don’t need a piece of paper or Bible to help you. You can pull that verse back into your mind anytime you want to. In Joshua 1:8 and Psalm 2:8 God says we should meditate on His Word day and night. That word meditate from the original Hebrew means to utter, mutter, speak, moan, imagine, muse, roar, growl, groan. This is Biblical meditation. What I love is it is something real and tangible and practical that I can DO.

There is an amazing story of Simon the Tanner who moved the Mokattam Mountain in Cairo Egypt some time between 972AD and 975AD recorded here in Wikipedia.

Nothing is impossible to those who believe. So let’s move the mountains! Do it.
