Speak To The Mountain

And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” – Mark 11:22-24

When Jesus said, “whoever says to this mountain…,” He was teaching us something crucial. If you change what you say, you can change your life. What do you say to the “mountains” in your life? It might be time to change what you are saying. There have been times when I have blown it and said all the wrong things, but eventually I would come back to the truth of what God has spoken.

Here are a few of my favorite things to say over my life, taken right from the Word of God:
