Greetings Saints,
Always good to hear from you around the globe. Thanks for your words of encouragement. Always know that I am praying for you to prosper and be in health. (3 Jn 2) And of course, I believe I receive what I pray for!
And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly]. Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! And does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you , and you will [get it]. Mark 11:22-24 Amplified
Interesting to note that the first way to receive from the Lord is to have a constant faith, one that does not waver or bend under pressure. But I find it more interesting that Jesus prefaces this statement with “Truly I tell you”, or another translator puts it “what I am about to tell you is true”.
From the lips of the Master we are told a seeming impossibility is true. That if we say to the mountain to be thrown into the sea, it will! There is a condition however, one must believe with no doubts that what he says will happen.
Can we control doubt? Obviously we can or He would not give us such directions. Telling us to believe with no doubt indicates we have the power to say NO to doubt.
Anyone can say to the mountain, “move”, but only a select few get results. The ones who have learned to control doubt in spite of obvious contrary circumstances. You see, anyone can “say”, but only the ones who have become skillful believers actual get what they say.
Now Jesus uses such a thing as mountain moving to show us that equally as impossible seems our prayers. But when we become so well trained in believing Him above the impossible, then whatever needed in prayer is now a reality, it is ours.
It is like the mountain. Impossibilities are possibilities with the prayer of a skilled believer. One who is well trained in constant unwavering faith, receives, no matter what the five senses scream. The mountain has to move! The mountain physical or the mountain in our life we are praying about. It moves, God cannot lie. How exciting! Hallelujah! We are more than conquerors through Jesus!
We have begun preparation for our big 5th anniversary celebration and missions conference coming this September 2nd. Please log into www.ficccelebrationmissionsconf.org to get a preview. This site is still under construction so be sure to check back often.
We are inviting you to come! Wherever in the world you may be, trust the Lord to get you here and we will do the rest. Lodging, food and local transportation will be our pleasure. We are inviting those with churches and ministries to sign up to share at one of our services in song, testimony, dance or drama. There will be miracles, healings, and prophetic utterances each service, don’t miss it!
Love you all! See you in Church.
Truly,
Pastor Chuck
