Mark 11:23 says, “…whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he says shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he says.”

While Pastor Joe Bob was teaching on this passage the last two Sundays a     thought came to me about something I had read one time.  It read something   like this, “when we move mountains it is usually by one stone at a time.”

The more I thought about this the more I saw the truth in it.  Usually in the natural it takes time, and man power to move a mountain.  Even if you use dynamite it may all come down at once, but you still have to move the rubble away a few stones at a time. 

You might say in the supernatural that God uses His “dunamis” power to move a mountain.  Dunamis is the Greek word from which we get our word “dynamite”.  Well, in the spirit realm the mountain is blown away, but we still have to move the rubble one stone at a time.  Starting with the stone in front of the grave/deadness (heart), of our lives.  We have to remove this stone, and let Christ Jesus come forth in our lives.  Once you have rolled away the stone from the tomb in the mountain, and Christ comes forth in the spirit realm then we will began to see symbolic mountains of hindrances, and obstacles in our lives being moved a stone at a time, and new life coming forth.

Speak God’s word to your mountains!  Stop speaking our words of doubt, and start saying what God says – “All things are possible to those who believe”.

Some people might say, ‘But it is too painful to lift, and move heavy stones.’  Well my answer for that is let the angel of the Lord come, and roll it away.  I know that may be hard to believe, or to let go, and let this happen, because I know that I wrestle with the letting go thing. I always think that I need to be in control. I am learning more everyday to let God be in charge of rolling away the stones.

When God does roll away the stones, then we might want to build a monument which our pastor calls “stones of remembrance”( Read Joshua 4:8,9,20-24).  This will remind you of all the times God has moved mountains for you.

So don’t give up on moving your mountains.  Just remember that they are going away one stone at a time.  Yes, it is faster if you use that dunamis power/God’s power, but it does still seem to take some time, but the load will be easier.  So keep speaking God’s word to your mountain/s, and let God’s word move it for you!

Sometimes you may not want to move a mountain; you may want to overtake a mountain, to possess it, well again speak to it the Word of God, and like Caleb you will have your mountain, even if it takes one stone at a time!
