Day 14-Speak to the Mountain

"Say to this mountain,

Move from here to there,

and it will move."

Matthew 17:20

"There comes a moment when you must quit talking to God about the mountain in your life and start talking to the mountain about your God. You proclaim His power. You declare His sovereignty. You affirm His faithfulness. You stand on His Word. You cling to His promises.

What did Jesus do when Satan tempted Him in the wilderness? He fell back on the Word of God. He used it like a skilled swordsman. And He wasn't just defending Himself; He was delivering blows by citing chapter and verse!

Maybe we need to quit playing defense and start playing offense. Maybe we need to quit letting our circumstances get between us and God and let God get between us and our circumstances. Maybe we need to stop talking to God about our problem and start talking to our problem about God."

"When everything is said and done, our only regret will be whatever we did not give back to God. It will be lost for eternity. But the time, talent, and treasure we invest in His kingdom will earn compound interest for eternity.

Most of us spend most of our lives accumulating the wrong things. Start divesting yourself of those things that will depreciate over time and start investing in those things that will appreciate throughout eternity.

Stop selling out to sin.

Stop selling God short.

It's time to go all in and all out for the All in All."
