Taking Mountains
"Go and take over that fortress," charged an Army General. The captain replied, "We will see what we can do Sir." The General said, "You are not to see what to do but to take the fortress." Again the captain answered, "We will try Sir." The General fired back in fury, "You are not to try but to take the fortress." Then the captain answered, "I do, Sir." Yes, that is the conquering spirit! Our text shows clearly how to take our mountains. Firstly, there is a specific mountain in focus- this mountain. Secondly, God has spoken about the mountain. Thirdly, the mountain is as real when the Lord spoke about it and when we are taking a step to take it. Lastly, maintain God's presence and be passionate about taking the mountain. Also, cleave to God and hold on tenaciously to His word. Take a step of faith today and you will take your mountain, be it a difficult school subject or a bad habit.
Challenge: Take your mountain by faith!
Prayer: Lord, give me this mountain in Jesus' name.
Quote: Be passionate about taking the mountain
