Your Mountain Has A Name

Summary: When we start to equate the solution to our problem, to our own ability. That's the moment unbelief enters the arena! That's the moment our faith, takes a back seat to our ability.
Your mountain has a name
How many people here this morning have ever had a problem or need, you couldn’t figure out? How many of you exhausted every possible avenue, trying to come up with a solution to your dilemma?
How many of you still have the problem?
Isn’t that just like human nature? When we have a need or a problem, arise or come up. We tend to think, if we can't figure out the answer, then no one else can either.
In life, a certain percentage of the population becomes a settler. Whatever happens in life, They just go with it and settle with the results their effort brings to the table.
How many have ever heard someone sarcastically say the words “whatever” when they realize things are not gonna work out the way they had hoped for?
The power of God’s word and the promise of God‘s word is not meant for the Christian to live a life of mediocrity! They are meant for every believer to live a life of abundance!
1-2 For a second time the message of the Eternal came to Jeremiah as he was being held in the court of the guard. The Eternal who made the earth, who formed and fashioned it, the One whose name is the Eternal, has this to say:
3 Call to Me, and I will answer you. I will tell you of great things, things beyond what you can imagine, things you could never have known. 4 I, the Eternal God of Israel, tell you that all these public buildings and royal palaces have been dismantled in vain. You thought you could strengthen the city walls with the scraps of those buildings, but it is a useless defense against the siege ramps and swords 5 of the Chaldeans. In this fight, the city will be filled with the dead whom I will destroy in My anger and wrath, for I have hidden My face from this city because of their wickedness. 6 Nevertheless, keep watching! I will restore this city and heal the wounds of My people. I will lavish them with peace and stability.
Jeremiah’s world, and all of Israel is falling apart right before their very eyes! It’s like God is saying you should’ve called on me sooner, you should’ve depended on me from the beginning.
But nevertheless, if you call me now I am still willing to show my greatness and do a mighty work, a work that you have no idea is possible of being done!
Guess what? If God is ever going to do amazing things in your life and what your asking Him to do for you. Your going to have ask for His Help first and then get used to the idea of letting God be God and trust Him to fulfill His plans and His promises for your life, without your interference!
Now, some may say ("that's blind faith!) call it what you want friend, but that is exactly what faith is! Hoping for the best possible outcome, without the knowledge of what that might be all of the promise that it will be!
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, but yet unseen! And without faith TBS it’s impossible to please God. But He rewards those (He does what?) He Rewards those who diligently seek Him!
A bounty Hunter will go to the end of the earth to get a reward for that which he searches. Shouldn’t we be the same way with the promises of God and the rewards that go with them?
Eccl. 11:5 NKJ
As you do not know what is the way of the wind, Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.
Know one really completely understands the miracle of life, but yet your okay with it! Something so complicated and you don't even question it, but you know that it works!
It's the same with all our needs, wants and desires in life. Before they ever come to life, their has to be a birthing process and that birthing process, is called FAITH!
How about electricity? It’s not the easiest thing to explain or understand, but you know it works when it’s turned on. It’s the same way with Faith the Bible says, it works when it’s turned on!
Mark 11:22-24 NKJ
22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain,
( I want you to insert your Need, your problem right here! Your mountain has a name,
Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
