Transitional Sentence:
The morning we are going to look at what Jesus teaches Peter and the disciples about “Mount Moving Faith.”
If you would please open your Bible with me to Mark 11:13
And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
Biblical scholars believe that the Fig tree represented the bareness or unfruitfulness of Israel.
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
Now let look at the response Jesus gave Peter, but the requirements for “Mountain Moving Faith.”
MAIN POINTS
Main Point# 1: Have Faith In God
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
Have Faith In God
Have Faith In God
The interesting thing is if you were to look at what is means to have faith in God you would discover that it means to:
“Faith of God”
“Faith from God”
God must be the subject or the focal point of our faith.
We have a tendency to place more faith in ourselves than God
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Faith comes from spiritually hearing God’s Word.
God Word is His will for our lives. Faith begins where the will of God is know.
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
“The Word of God is the only source of true biblical faith, and the end game for doubt” Daniel Pilkington

Now that we know need the God kind of faith, let’s look at how to have “Mountain Moving Faith.”
Main Point #2: Speak to Your Mountains
Speak To Your Mountains
Speak To Your Mountains
For verily I say unto you, That 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 saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Illustration:
Jesus was probably looking at Mount Olives which was 2,710 feet above sea level. Not this probably seemed like an impossibility to man.
It would take one man 3.54 million years to move with the tools in Jesus time.
To lift the mountain it would take 83.7 billion people to move, which is impossible for two reasons. First you cannot get that many people around the mountain. Second in 2023 there were only 8 billion people on earth, we are a little short.
The point is without God this is impossible for man ,but NOTHING is impossible with God!
We must speak to our mountains, not climb them.
This is a promise from God.
Faith is given life through our words.
Mountains represent the works of the Devil (Sickness, sin, oppression, depression, financial issues)…the curse.
Jesus alway spoke (Commanded/Authority) to the problem, not about it (Woe is me, let me tell you what the devil has been doing…Attention)
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
Speaking about the problem, it not same as taking your authority as a child of God.
Jesus did not carry on a conversation with the Devil, but served an eviction notice.
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
We have already been given the power to destroy the works of the devil, it time the church starts using what God have already provided.
It time for the church to start serving some eviction notices.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
This is how God created creation....Made in His image.
“When our hearts and words are in alignment with the Word of God, we will begin to see the impossible unfold right before our very eyes. You will be stepping into the realm of impossibilities.”
Daniel E. Pilkington
Transitional Sentence:
Now that we know we must speak to the mountains in our life, let look at the how we position ourselves to receive from God.

Jesus said we must SPEAK to our mountains.
Jesus said we must SPEAK to our mountains.
Main Point #3: Believe and Receive
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Faith is not receive and believe
Faith is believe then receive.
Defining Faith
Our culture teaches: “When I see it I’ll believe it”
The Bible teaches: “I believe it then I receive it”
Faith is alway anchored in the Word of God, His promises are always yes and amen!
It not about what you see, but about what you believe!
Illustration:
Noah most Bible scholars believe it took anywhere from 75 to 120 year for Noah to build the ark without seeing one drop of rain.

Jesus said we must believe we have received the thing we are desiring in prayer.
Jesus said we must believe we have received the thing we are desiring in prayer.

First forgive…(Mark 11:25-26)
