When Jesus said that we must speak, by faith, to our mountains, ordering them to remove themselves and throw themselves into the sea, he made such a radical statement that it is worth studying.
First of all, what do we say to the mountains of our lives? It is obvious that we do not pronounce our will or desire, but the will of God and his Word is His will.
Luke 4 tells us that when Jesus was tempted by Satan in the desert he responded to every temptation with the Word of God. Repeatedly he said: This is written, and I quote the Scriptures that counteracted the lies and deception of the devil.
We tend to "try" doing the same thing for a certain amount of time, and if we do not see quick results we stop talking about God's Word to our problems and start talking again about what we feel, which is probably what is again It gets us in trouble.
Someone who tries to split a rock will have to hit it with the tool 99 times, and maybe he still has no evidence that he is going to leave. And then, at hit number 100, the rock will split in two. Each stroke weakened her, although apparently there were no visible signs to indicate it.
Persistence is vital to achieve victory. We must establish what we believe and hold on to it until we see results.
To be sure that we are obedient to the Word of God, speaking of it carries with it the power that is absolutely necessary to achieve victory, taking into account that it is not the only doctrine in the Word of God.
Obedience is equally important if some person thinks that he can live in disobedience and still speak the Word of God to the mountains and get results, sadly he will be frustrated, as this passage points out.
What is defined in Mark 11: 22-26 must be considered as a whole. In verse 22 it is emphasized that we must constantly have Faith in God. In the 23rd I talk about releasing the Faith speaking to the mountains. In the 24th I mention the prayer and the importance of praying believing. In chapter 26 he categorically states that if we do not forgive others' faults, our heavenly Father will not forgive our faults and shortcomings either.
There is no power and it is useless to speak to a mountain if in our hearts we do not forgive, which is a generalized problem among the sons and daughters of God.
Many people who have accepted Christ as their personal Savior are deceived, because they try to apply one of God's principles, but completely ignoring the others.
Obedience is the central theme of the Bible, but for many of us life is complicated due to disobedience. This may be the result of ignorance or rebellion, but the only way to get rid of it is repentance and return to the submission and obedience of God.
We need time to learn the Word of God and to know His heart. Although many things are clearly defined in the Word, and obviously His will is expressed in it, there are others on which we must decide, because they are not defined in black and white. That is why we need to know His heart and be guided by His Spirit. The Bible does not tell us what kind of car to buy, or when to sell our old house and acquire a new one, or for which company to work. If, for example, we work for a company and we want promotion or promotion in office, that desire may be God's will for us, but it could also be greed. How can we know the difference? Time gives us the answer. It takes time to know God, to know our hearts and to reach the capacity to be totally sincere with ourselves and with the Lord. It takes time to know our internal motivations and determine if they are pure or not.
A person acting for Faith should never say in the prayer "If it is Your Will", you can have what is said but it is necessary to mature, sometimes we are so full of ourselves that we do not listen to these explanations. It is thought that a way to achieve them has already been found. In the Word of God, as there are some things that are so clear, we will never need to say: "If it is Your Will". Salvation is a good example. In 1 Timothy 2: 3-4 The bible declares that God's desire is for all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Therefore, it should never be said when one prays: "Dear heavenly Father, I ask you in the name of Jesus to save ______ if it is your will", because beforehand we know that it is God's will to save that person. James 4:2 says we do not have because we do not ask. And in verse 3 he says that sometimes we ask and we do not receive because we ask for an erroneous purpose and with selfish motives. We know that sometimes it is hard to believe that this can happen to us, but it is reality. And it is true especially in the believer who has allowed it, that the process of purification of God takes place in his life. In this state, a person has God in their life but is still full of "Egoism." Sometimes when what we ask is not clearly defined in the Word of God, and we do not know with certainty what God's will is for that matter, it would be best to remain submissive.
It is observed in the Christian life, that people in general have difficulty maintaining their balance. The teaching of the power of words, mouth, confession, calling things that are not as if they were and ordering things to come true, are an example, because in this many people have been seen They go to the extremes, and only prefer to live on one side or the other of the road and have difficulty staying on the lines of the principles of the Word, this means that they only want to live on the flesh and do not want to die to it.
1 Peter 5: 8 Be sober, be awake, your enemy, the devil, like a roaring lion, go looking for someone to devour, resist him, firm to the Faith
Actually the extremes are the field of operation of the devil. If he can not make the believer totally ignore a truth and live deceived, his next tactic is to make him lose balance on that truth. Sometimes it gets worse than it was before I met her.
Wisdom is a central theme in the Word of God, in fact, without it, we can not achieve true victory.
According to the dictionary http://www.universal.org.ar Wisdom is the power to do things correctly, using caution and prudence always. Wisdom does not lean towards extremes. Proverbs 1: 1-4 says that wisdom is full of prudence, and prudence equals good management of things. We can say that wisdom is a combination of balance, common sense and good judgment.
The confession or the verbal declaration is the one that must be spoken to our mountains and in many circumstances, the answer to our problems is under our nose, that is, in the mouth, but also in the maturity of the believer in which he must die. the flesh, the ego and the great need for obedience and submission to the Holy Spirit and thus be able to make the will of God come true in our lives.
