The Daily Word of Righteousness
Be Cast Into the Sea!
Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. (Matthew 21:21)
We let life beat the wonder out of us! We no longer believe that with God all things are possible.
Jesus marveled at the unbelief of the disciples.
Sometimes the idea of casting mountains into the sea is presented as a challenge to our faith. The idea is if we could just summon up enough belief we could work mighty miracles. This is not the point at all.
Jesus was referring to the natural relationship of a father to his son. God is our Father. He created all things. He wants us to govern all things and enjoy them, not be bound by them.
The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. All of this is ours when we press through to victory in the Lord Jesus. He who overcomes shall inherit all things.
There are few things in the universe so fixed they cannot be changed by the prayers of the children of God. Of course, the laws of righteousness and holiness cannot be altered because they are of the Nature of God.
But water was made to be walked on. Fig trees had better bear fruit out of season or else! Mountains are to adorn the landscape. Fish love to search around and bring up coins from the ocean floor. And what better sound in the universe than that of trees clapping their hands in delight?
"Oh," you say, "you are not practical. You are a dreamer."
Listen, at seventy-one years of age I am not an impractical dreamer. You know what? We have let our experiences dictate to us what is possible and what is not possible.
Ask what you will and it shall be done. You say, "I have asked and nothing happened." You forgot one little word—"yet"! Nothing obvious has happened yet.
Is God a liar? The moment you asked in Jesus' name the Divine engines began to turn in order to fulfill your order. Did you give up in unbelief?
Go back to the drawing board. Tell God what you really want. Then wait expectantly. Keep aware of God's Presence because He may invite you to modify your prayer, knowing that what you asked is not what you truly desire but only a metaphor.
Your mountain shall move! Expect a miracle in Jesus' name.
Go out tonight and look up at the heavens. Consider that God spoke it all into existence.
Then ask something commensurate with the ability of your Father!
