Speak To You Mountain

Posted on by jakirkgasser10439

Speak To You Mountain In Faith And It Will Move

Introduction

Have you ever felt like you’re staring at an immovable mountain—an obstacle in your life that seems impossible to overcome? Whether it’s sickness, financial strain, broken relationships, fear, or discouragement, Jesus gave us a divine strategy to conquer what seems unconquerable: “Speak to your mountain in faith.”

“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.” Mark 11:23

This is more than metaphorical—it’s a powerful principle of Kingdom living. God is calling us to exercise the authority He gave us and command mountains to move by faith.

Why Is It Important?

Many believers spend their lives hoping and waiting for God to intervene, never realizing that He already has—through Jesus—and now He’s waiting on us to take action in faith.

Mountains don’t move because we cry. They move because we believe and speak. This principle is vital because it:

  • Shifts our mindset from passive waiting to active authority.
  • Aligns us with how God operates—through faith-filled words.
  • Enables us to live victoriously instead of trying to survive defeat.

How Is Speaking To Your Mountain Different Than Asking God To Come Down And Take Action?

Asking God implies that God is unaware of our needs. Scripture tells us:

“Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.” — Matthew 6:8

When we ask or even plead with God to consider taking action to address our situation, we are assuming the ball is in His camp, that He needs to consider the options and decide to Help us, we are implying that He is somehow reluctant to help us and needs to be convinced, and we are expressing doubt that we know His will for our situation.

When we pray in faith, we acknowledge that God has already empowered us to take action through Jesus, and we understand His will for us based on revelation in His word.  Faith is not about persuading God—it’s about enforcing what He’s already promised and getting Him the glory and full benefits for the price He already paid.

Jesus never begged the Father to heal the sick or calm the storm—He spoke with authority. He expects us to do the same:

“As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” — John 20:21

How Do You Pray in Faith?

Praying in faith is more than saying the right words—it’s standing on truth with confidence. Here’s how to build your faith and speak with power:

Praying in faith is a transformational journey—from a place of merely asking for help to confidently speaking God’s Word with authority. It begins with a deep understanding of the Bible and moves through a series of steps that enable you to align with God’s promises. Here’s how to make that shift:

Building a Foundation: Understanding God’s Word

Before you speak boldly, immerse yourself in Scripture—the ultimate source of truth and promise. Focus on key areas such as:

  • The Authority of Scripture: God’s Word is the final authority in all matters of faith and life.

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.” — 2 Timothy 3:16

  • The Active Nature of God’s Word: His Word isn’t static; it is living and active, performing its purpose in our lives.

“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword.” — Hebrews 4:12

  • The Promise That It Never Returns Void: Every word spoken by God accomplishes what it declares.

“So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” — Isaiah 55:11

Action Step:

  • Study and meditate on Scriptures related to your situation.
  • Memorize and affirm these truths as the foundation of your prayer life.

Knowing God’s Will: Aligning Your Heart

Instead of asking based on personal need or out of a sense of unworthiness, seek to understand and align with God’s will. Some key promises include:

  • Long Life: God desires us to live full and abundant lives.

“And you shall live many years in the land which the Lord your God gives you.” — Deuteronomy 5:33

  • Prosperity: God promises provision and success in our endeavors.

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” — 3 John 1:2

  • Healing: His Word brings restoration and healing to our bodies and minds.

“But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed.” — Isaiah 53:5

Action Step:

  • Pray for discernment and alignment with His will.
  • Use these promises as a guide to shape your requests, ensuring they reflect His character and purposes.

Embracing the Victory of Christ: The Work Jesus Did for Us

Recognize that Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection have already secured our victory over every challenge.

“It is finished.” — John 19:30

Action Step:

  • Reflect on the finished work of Christ.
  • Allow His victory to transform your prayer from one of need to one of confident declaration.

Claiming Your Righteousness: A Shift from False Humility

Moving away from asking out of self-doubt involves embracing the righteousness given to you through Jesus.

“God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.” — 2 Corinthians 5:21

Action Step:

  • Confess and accept your new identity in Christ.
  • Replace any feelings of unworthiness with the confidence of being made righteous.

Exercising Authority: Speaking with Boldness

Jesus delegated His authority to you to overcome any obstacle. When you speak, do so with the confidence that comes from His power working through you. Key principles include:

  • The Power of Speech Over Life and Death: Your words have authority to bring life or declare judgment over circumstances.

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue…” — Proverbs 18:21

  • Fervent Prayer of a Righteous Man Avails Much: A heartfelt, righteous prayer carries great power and results.

“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” — James 5:16

Action Step:

  • Practice declaring God’s promises out loud.
  • Reinforce your authority by consistently speaking truths from Scripture over your situation.

Transitioning from Asking to Declaring: The Power of Bold Speech

Replace timid requests with bold declarations of God’s Word. Instead of saying, “please, God, help me,” speak with authority:

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace…” — Hebrews 4:16

Action Step:

  • Command your mountain to move in the name of Jesus.
  • Journal or speak out loud declarations that affirm the fulfillment of God’s Word in your life.

Believing It’s Done: Trusting in the Promises

The final step is to fully believe that what you are speaking is done; It is already being accomplished.

“Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” — Mark 11:24

Action Step:

  • Visualize the outcome as a present reality.
  • Maintain a posture of thankfulness and trust, even when you haven’t yet seen the physical manifestation.

By focusing on these areas—from understanding God’s unerring Word to boldly speaking His promises—you can shift from asking in uncertainty to declaring with authority. This transformation not only aligns you with God’s will but also brings full glory to Him as His power is made evident through your life.

Best Practices

  • Spend daily time in the Word to build your faith.
  • Meditate on God’s promises until they become more real than your problem.
  • Avoid speaking doubt—your words matter. (Proverbs 18:21)
  • Thank God in advance for the answer, even before it manifests.
  • Surround yourself with faith-filled believers who will agree with you.
  • Stay consistent—don’t undo your prayer with unbelief the next day.

Final Thoughts

God is not moved by need; He’s moved by faith. Your mountain may look big, but your faith—rooted in God’s Word and your authority in Christ—is bigger. Don’t wait for God to come down. He already lives in you. Now it’s time to rise up, speak to your mountain, and watch it move.

“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” — Matthew 19:26

Why Is God’s Will Not Always Done?

Introduction

In our daily walk with God, it is essential to understand His will and align our lives accordingly. Yet, many factors can hinder the unfolding of His perfect plan. In this blog, we will explore what God’s will truly means, identify common obstacles that block its manifestation, and offer practical steps to avoid these hindrances.

Throughout the Bible, God’s plan for humanity is revealed as one of love, redemption, and transformation. His will encompasses both the overarching purpose for creation and the specific guidance He provides for our individual lives. However, just as a clear road can be obscured by obstacles, our spiritual journey can be derailed by various influences. Sometimes, these obstacles come from external influences, but more often, they arise from within—our doubts, fears, distractions, and sinful tendencies. By understanding these barriers, we can take active steps to ensure that God’s will is done in our lives and in our communities.  This post explores what God’s will truly is, the most common obstacles that block it, and how we can remove them to live fully in His purpose.

What Is God’s Will?

God’s will can be understood on multiple levels. At its core, it reflects His sovereign plan for the world, which includes both His redemptive purpose and the moral guidelines He provides for us:

  • General Will: This includes the grand narrative of salvation, the restoration of all things, and the ultimate victory of good over evil. Scripture tells us in passages like Romans 8:28 that “in all things God works for the good of those who love him”—a reminder of His continual involvement in every aspect of creation.
  • Personal Will: On a personal level, God’s will pertains to the choices we make daily. The Bible encourages believers to seek God’s guidance in decisions, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Here, God invites us to relinquish our limited perspectives in favor of His perfect wisdom.

Credible Christian authors such as John Piper and Tim Keller emphasize that discerning God’s will is not about rigid formulas but about cultivating a deep, personal relationship with Him. They suggest that through prayer, meditation on Scripture, and community accountability, we can begin to understand the divine purposes that God has set before us.

Is God’s Will Always Done? Is He Really “In Control?”

God’s will is that all should come to salvation (2 Peter 3:9), yet not everyone does. This highlights a key biblical reality: while God’s will is perfect, He has also granted humans free will, which allows for rejection of His plans.

One major reason His will is not always realized is our own selfish desires. When we prioritize personal ambition, sin, or pride, we align ourselves with the enemy’s schemes rather than God’s perfect path.

The devil prowls like a roaring lion, seeking to devour (1 Peter 5:8), and he influences people through temptation, deception, and distraction.

Yet, despite human failures and spiritual opposition, God’s ultimate purposes will be accomplished (Isaiah 46:10). He calls believers to align with His will through obedience, prayer, and faith, so that His kingdom may be revealed on earth as it is in heaven.

Obstacles to Execution of God’s Will

Lack of Knowledge of God’s Will

God declares in Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Many fail to walk in God’s will simply because they do not understand it. If you do not seek to know what God desires, how can you follow it?

Ignorance of His Word leads to confusion, poor decisions, and a life out of alignment with His purpose. God encourages us to seek wisdom and ask Him for understanding (James 1:5).

Biblical Example: The Pharisees had great religious knowledge but lacked true understanding of God’s heart, leading them to reject Jesus (Matthew 23:23-24).

Doubt and Unbelief in God’s Word

One of the greatest obstacles to God’s will is doubt—not just ordinary questioning but a deep unbelief in His promises and character. This was the enemy’s tactic in the Garden of Eden when he asked Eve, “Did God really say…?” (Genesis 3:1).

When we question God’s truthfulness, faithfulness, or ability, we hesitate in obedience. James 1:6-7 warns that “the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” A person who constantly doubts God’s direction will struggle to take steps of faith.

Biblical Example: The Israelites doubted God’s ability to give them the Promised Land despite His miracles (Numbers 14). Their unbelief kept them wandering for 40 years instead of stepping into God’s will.

Unforgiveness

Unforgiveness is a serious obstacle that blocks the flow of God’s grace in our lives. Jesus made it clear that if we do not forgive others, God will not forgive us (Matthew 6:15). Holding onto resentment hardens our hearts and distances us from God’s presence.

If we expect to receive God’s mercy and guidance, we must extend the same mercy to others. A heart filled with bitterness cannot be aligned with God’s will.

Biblical Example: The parable of the unmerciful servant (Matthew 18:21-35) teaches that refusing to forgive others will result in severe consequences from God.

Sin and Selfish Desires

Sin directly opposes God’s will. Whether through pride, lust, greed, or disobedience, sin clouds our judgment and weakens our ability to hear God’s voice. Isaiah 59:2 states, “Your iniquities have separated you from your God.” The more we entertain sin, the harder it becomes to recognize His leading.

Biblical Example: King Saul repeatedly disobeyed God, choosing his own desires over God’s instructions (1 Samuel 15). His rebellion cost him his kingdom.

Fear of Failure or Embarrassment

We can be paralyzed by fear. While doubt questions whether God is truthful, fear focuses on what could go wrong—failing, being rejected, or looking foolish in front of others. Many times, we know God’s will but hesitate to act because we fear failure or what people will think.

2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” Fear is not from God, and when we allow it to control us, we miss opportunities to be used by Him.

Biblical Example: Peter walked on water toward Jesus but began to sink when fear overtook him (Matthew 14:30). His fear, not doubt in who Jesus was, caused him to stumble.

Worldly Distractions

Jesus warned about the “worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desires for other things” that choke out the Word (Mark 4:19). Our culture is filled with distractions—social media, entertainment, career ambitions—that can drown out God’s voice if we’re not careful.

Biblical Example: Martha was so distracted by serving that she missed the opportunity to sit at Jesus’ feet like Mary (Luke 10:38-42).

Spiritual Warfare:

Daniel 10 describes a delay in answered prayer due to demonic resistance, showing that unseen battles affect earthly outcomes.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [a]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

The Fallen World:

Jesus acknowledged that in this world, we will have trouble. The presence of sin and brokenness means that suffering and injustice can persist despite God’s desire for wholeness.

How to Overcome These Obstacles

  1. Repent and Turn from Sin – If sin is blocking God’s will in your life, confess and seek His grace (1 John 1:9).
  2. Seek Knowledge and Ask for Wisdom – Study the Bible and ask God to reveal His will to you (James 1:5).
  3. Fight Doubt with God’s Word – Faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Regularly reading Scripture strengthens belief.
  4. Eliminate Distractions – Make time for prayer, worship, and Scripture instead of filling your mind with the noise of the world.
  5. Forgive Freely – Release bitterness and forgive others so that God’s grace can flow freely in your life (Matthew 6:14-15).
  6. Overcome Fear with Faith – Focus on God’s power rather than potential failure. Joshua 1:9 commands us to be strong and courageous.

References for Further Study

  • The Bible (Romans 8:28, Proverbs 3:5-6, James 1:6, Isaiah 59:2, Hosea 4:6)
  • John Piper – “Desiring God” (Understanding God’s will as a pursuit of joy in Him)

  • A.W. Tozer – “The Pursuit of God” (Deepening faith and reliance on God)
  • C.S. Lewis – “Mere Christianity” (Overcoming doubt through reason and faith)

By identifying and overcoming these obstacles, we can live fully in God’s will, growing in faith and becoming vessels for His glory. Let’s trust Him, step out in boldness, and remove anything that hinders His perfect plan.
