About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"WHAT IS YOUR 'MOUNTAIN'?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE STORY OF THE FIG TREE JESUS SPOKE TO, I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT IT. AFTER HE HAD DRIVEN THE MONEY CHANGERS OUT OF THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM, HE WENT TO BETHANY TO SPEND THE NIGHT. ON HIS WAY BACK TO JERUSALEM HE SAW A FIG TREE AND IT WAS FULL OF LEAVES AND WHEN A FIG TREE HAS LEAVES, IT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FIGS. HE WAS HUNGRY BUT THE TREE HAD NO FIGS ON IT. SINCE IT WAS MISREPRESENTING NATURE, HE CURSED IT AND IT WITHERED AWAY.
JESUS USED A METAPHOR TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FIG TREE COULD HAPPEN TO A MOUNTAIN IF YOU HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE. READ WHAT JESUS SAID, (MATTHEW 21:21-22 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.)
WHAT IS YOUR MOUNTAIN? DO YOU HAVE PAIN IN YOUR BODY, IS IT CANCER OR SOME ILLNESS, IS IT POVERTY OR LACK, STRESS OR DEPRESSION OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE? IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE WHATEVER IT IS, YOU HAVE POWER OVER IT. TELL YOUR "MOUNTAIN" TO GO, IN THE NAME OF JESUS! JESUS IS TELLING YOU TO USE YOUR FAITH AND VOICE TO GET RID OF WHATEVER IS BOTHERING YOU.
SO, IF JESUS CAN TALK TO A FIG TREE, WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH TALKING TO YOUR "MOUNTAIN"? HE PLAINLY TELLS US TO "SAY" TO OUR "MOUNTAIN". TALK TO THOSE PROBLEMS AND TELL THEM TO LEAVE YOU. THEY HAVE NO POWER OVER YOU UNLESS YOU LET THEM. IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT POWER, WHY WOULD JESUS EVEN TELL US TO "SAY" AND "IT SHALL BE DONE"?
IF YOU ARE STILL CONCERNED ABOUT TALKING TO YOUR PROBLEMS, I WILL GIVE YOU ANOTHER SCRIPTURE THAT MAKES IT PLAIN WHAT JESUS WILL DO IN ANY CASE. HE SAYS IN JOHN 14:13-14 "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it." NOTICE THAT HE SAYS IT TWICE, ONE AFTER THE OTHER. HE REALLY MEANS IT. JUST HAVE FAITH AND BELIEVE IT.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
