Speak to mountains when you are facing an impossible crisis

Speaking to Mountains in Crisis

When we are in a Crisis or impossible seeming dilemna, the first thing we feel like doing is having a meltdown or nervous breakdown. It seems a total disaster when we get first bad news about something or even someone who is close to us.

Even though we want to pull out our hair and give up on life in these moments, we know that wont help us.,

In reality this is the time to do what Jesus and the Bible says we should do. Jesus said we need to speak to our mountains or circumstances and command them to be removed or cast into the sea!

Mark 11:23 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea!’ and does not doubt in his heart [in God’s unlimited power], but believes that what he says is going to take place, it will be done for him [in accordance with God’s will]. AMP Bible

When we read this it seems outlandish and insane to the natural mind of man, because the things of the Spirit are foolishness to the natural mind. After all, we reason to ourselves, what rational person would expect a mountain or even an adverse circumstance to be removed or solved, by merely speaking to it. Yet this is what Jesus says we need to do.

We tell ourself that speaking to a mountainous problem or situation or even more so an inanimate object is ludicrous. That cant change anything we think. Yet Jesus says to do it. He also tells us that the power of our spoken words is immense.

AMPC Mark 11:24

 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].

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Prov 18:21

But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. Jesus in Matt 8:36

James 3: 2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a [a]perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

 3 [b]Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 

4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. 

5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. 

Yes, we usually underestimate the power of our tongues and the words we speak. Its amazing though how powerful our experience of solving our impossible problems will be if we willingly decide to do what Jesus and the Bible says to do.

The Scriptures also say that we should not be anxious or fearful when facing crisis situations., no matter how devastating they appear to be.

6 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Phillipians 4

Just yesterday I received a phone call ,that in the natural was meltdown material. I almost lost my cool but I applied the scriptural admonition and found that a great peace came over me.

The situation was also greatly mitigated by following Gods Word. Its amazing how supernatural Gods solution is if we will only use our words to speak to the mountain or problem.

Jesus says that we should first and foremost speak to the problem, no matter what it is. He doesnt say we should pray about the probelm, he says to speak directly to it and cast it out.

Practise this and you will grow in faith and Victory and see mighty blessings roll into your life!

New years Day 2010---Dynamic and Didactic

Dear Whosoever,
Happy New Year for 01/01/2010!
Today I thought I would do a slight ramble regarding the Didactic and the Dynamic. There is always a juxtaposition and tension between these two essential elements to life.
Here are 2 dictionary definitions on the word didactic.
1. didactic (plural didactics)
(archaic) A treatise on teaching or education
2.The term "didactic" also refers to media that are "burdened" with instructive, factual, or otherwise "educational" information, sometimes to the detriment of a reader's (or viewer's) enjoyment.
Here are Dictionary definitions of dynamic

1Dunamis or dynamis (Greek δύναμις) is an Ancient Greek word meaning "power", "capability", or "force". It is the root of the English words "dynamic", "dynamite", and "dynamo".
2lso dy·nam·i·cal \-mi-kəl\ a : of or relating to physical force or energy b : of or relating to dynamics
2 a : marked by usually continuous and productive activity or change b : energetic, forceful

In regards to The Bible and Christian truth the didactic speaks of the teaching and instructional aspect of teaching The Word. This speaks of the informational fixed Truth of The Logos. An everyday example of didactic would be the rails, the locomotive that runs on the rails speaks of the "dynamic".
The fixed immutable and immovable quality of the Word of God is like the rails that the Spirit or "dynamic" rolls or runs on. The moving of the Spirit without the fixed immutable word is like a locomotive off the rails. The rails without the locomotive are also irrelevant, what is the use of rails without an engine? On the other hand,the locomotive running off the rails is an accident waiting to happen.
Another example would be a cartridge or bullet, The gunpowder without the lead projectile is only a blank, it makes a noise like a real bullet but is impotent and useless in battle, conversely, the lead without the gunpowder is only a dead immovable weight. Both of these scenarios are useless.
When the lead bullethead (the didactic) is propelled by the gunpowder (the dynamic) a powerful and effective weapon is in action. When the Word is only taught as information without the accompanying power and demonstration of the Spirit, it is like a lead projectile without dynamic thrust. One commentator likened it to going to a restaurant and reading the menu without ever ordering the specified item.
What good would an arrow (the didactic) be without a bow (the dynamic). The bow provides the thrust for the arrow to reach the target. A bow without an arrow would be equally stupid.
What we need is equal cooperation between the Word and the Spirit, then we will truly grow up into Christ and receive the full inheritance of Biblical promise..
Dead orthodoxy and dynamic heresy are both wrong. Theology is not an informational study only, like Mathematics or archeology. Theo (God) ology (study) is the study of God Himself, we are not just studying Biblical Knowledge but we are coming into intimate union with the Author of the Bible Himself. This is why prayer and worship are an integral part of a real Bible College, it is not just memorizing Scripture and learning the Greek and Hebrew ( as important as this is).
It is also communicating with the Triune God in deep worship and being filled with Dunamis Power from Heaven ( then we not only have the Arrow (Word) we have the bow (Spirit)
On the other hand, we dont just have experiential "spirit" experiences without having deep and detailed knowledge of the Word. We always check our experiences out with Scripture to make sure we are "on the rails" as it were. We dont want to be an off the rails railway locomotive running down mainstreet smashing through peak hour traffic and causing casualties to ourself and others.
We also dont want to be a deadhead Christian who reduces God to a boring archaic study of past experience without having our own " Book of Acts experience." This also is a misrepresentation of who Jesus is and what Christianity is meant to be.
As an old preacher said--" If your all Word , you will dry up. If you are all Spirit, you will blow up. If you are a mix of both you will grow up.
Go Forth, Full of the Holy Ghost and Power with a mind that has been washed and renewed in the Word of God.

John 6:63 (King James Version)
63It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
2 John 1:9Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
