Meditation Scripture Mar 11:23 - 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. Christ taught them to pray in faith. Have faith in God. They admired the power of Christs word of command; “Why,” said Christ, “a lively active faith would put as great a power into your prayers. Whosoever shall say to this mountain, this Mount of Olives, Be removed, and be cast into the sea. If he has but any word of the Most High, (general or particular), to build his faith upon, and if he shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith. “According to the warrant he has from what God hath said, shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith.” Through the strength and power of God in Christ, the greatest difficulty shall be got over, and the thing shall be affected. And therefore, “What things soever ye desire, when ye pray believe that ye shall receive them; nay, believe that ye do receive them, and he that has power to give them, saith, Ye shall have them. I say unto you - Ye shall. Now this is to be applied, To that faith of miracles which the apostles and first preachers of the gospel were endued with, which did wonders in things natural, healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out devils; these were, in effect, the removing of mountains. The apostles speak of a faith, which would do that, and yet might be found where holy love was not, (1Cor 13:2). It is to be applied to that miracle of faith, which all true Christians are endued with, which doeth wonders in things spiritual. It justifies us (Rom 5:1), and so removes the mountains of guilt, and casts them into the depths of the sea, never to rise up in judgment against us, (Mic 7:19). It purifies the heart (Act 5:9), and so removes mountains of corruption, and makes them plains before the grace of God, (Zech 4:7). It is by faith that the world is conquered. Satans fiery darts are quenched, a soul is crucified with Christ, and yet lives; by faith we set the Most High always before us, and see him that is invisible, and have him present to our minds. This is effectual to remove mountains, for at the presence of the Almighty, at the presence of the God of Jacob, the mountains were not only moved, but removed, (Psa 4:4-7).
