For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”
(Mark 11:22-23)
You have the God-kind of faith. The moment you were born again, you received “&a measure of faith” (Rom. 12:3). In other places Jesus referred to faith as “a mustard seed.” (Matt. 17:20.) The faith you have now is capable of moving any mountain in your life. The “God-kind” of faith resides in you now.
Jesus said, “&Whoever says to this mountain&.” This means you are included since you are a “whoever.” You can speak directly to the mountain and address it with authority. If the mountain is strife in the home or business, say, “Strife, in the name of Jesus, I command you to leave this place now.” Then lift your hands and begin to thank God for removing the problem, or the mountain.
When you know your authority, you will believe that what you say will come to pass. You have this assurance because Jesus regained authority over the devil through His death and resurrection. (Matt. 28:18-20.) You expect your words to be fulfilled because of your covenant with God. Doubt has no place in you, for faith has flooded your heart.
You were born again to rule and reign in this earth under the authority of Jesus Christ. (Rom. 5:17.) Expect things to change as you speak, for God has given you the power to move mountains.
