Then Jesus told them, “I assure you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ‘May God lift you up and throw you into the sea,’ and it will happen. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
Matthew 21:21-22
If you have ever had the opportunity to drive through the mountains, you may have been as awestruck as I have been. The Rocky Mountains, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Smoky Mountains are magnificent. I never could imagine the need to have them tossed into the sea.
What about those mountains in our lives? Is there a mountain of loneliness, low self esteem, bitterness, anger, or hate? What about a mountain of sin or unforgiveness of self or others? Is there a mountain of stress on your job or maybe even in your home? Marital problems, kids in trouble, financial woes, unemployment – the list goes on and on of potential mountains. Maybe you are in a season of grief and the weight of that grief feels like a mountain on your shoulders.
Jesus says by faith you can ask God to move that mountain and cast it into the sea. “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
