How to Have Mountain-Moving Faith!

Imagine what would happen if you had mountain-moving faith in Jesus power.

Your arms would reach to the hurting, the poor, to HIV-positive babies. You’d accept folks who don’t look like you or smell like you or talk like you. You’d embrace the outsider, whether she wore brand-name stilettos or tattoos.

At stores and office buildings, jails and nursing homes, hospitals and orphanages, universities and kindergartens, you’d share Jesus in action.

The gates of hell would tremble. Oh yes!

I want this type of mountain-moving faith. But call me fraidy cat. Outside my safe places, I shrink. My voice thins. Over and over my mind runs the tape, “What if they reject me. . .reject me. . .reject me.”

Stop Acting Small

When you rely on yourself you act small because you are small.

Yes, when I act “in Lucy,” courage scatters like shards of broken glass. Yet “in Christ” I can access his power to do his will.

A familiar psalm proclaims, “Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Ps. 37:4

Some think this is a promise that God will give you what you want. Not so. Reread the first half of the psalm. As you delight yourself in the LORD, you will want what God wants. And whatever God purposes will come to pass. How do you delight in the Lord? Pray!

Start Acting Big

To live your mountain-moving faith, to receive the desires of your heart, you need to commune with God. This means prayer. This means talking to God and listening. This means thinking on Scripture.

3 Simple (and Fun) Prayer Ideas!

1. Pray “bookends.” When you awaken, dedicate the day to the Lord and ask him to direct you all day long. At bedtime, thank God for his direction.

2. Shoot bullet prayers. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you pray all day long. Then when he reminds you, pray.

3. Super-creative? Doodle prayers, knit prayers, dance prayers, paint prayers, ice-skate prayers.

Decide today to pray. Decide today to delight in the Lord. Decide today to have mountain-moving faith!
