“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew :17:20 (CSB)
MOVING MOUNTAINS REQUIRES…
1. HAVING FAITH
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebreos 11:1 (NIV)
To Have Faith…
• Wait with Certainty
• See with Conviction
POSSIBLE OBSTACLES…
1. FAMILY
“Then he (Joseph) had another dream, and he told it to his brothers.… When he told his father as well as his brothers his father rebuked him…His brothers were jealous of him…” Genesis 37: 9-11 (NIV)
“Then Jesus told them, ‘A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.’” Mark 6:4 (NTV)
2. FRIENDS
“You must not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you are called to testify in a dispute, do not be swayed by the crowd to twist justice.” Exodus 23:2 (NLT)
“Do not be deceived: ‘Evil company corrupts good habits..’” 1 Corinthians 15:33 (NKJV)
“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mocker.” Psalm 1:1 (NIV)
3. FATIGUE
“…He himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die…then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, ‘Arise and eat.’ So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God...” 1 Kings19:1-10 (NKJV)
4. FAILURE
“So approximately 3,000 warriors were sent, but they were soundly defeated. The men of Ai chased the Israelites from the town gate as far as the quarries, and they killed about thirty-six who were retreating down the slope. The Israelites were paralyzed with fear at this turn of events, and their courage melted away..” Joshua 7:4-5 (NLT)
5. FEAR
“… ‘We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. 28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there..’” Numbers 13:27-28 (NIV)
