Jesus said in Luke that the kingdom of God is within
us. God’s address is found within those
who believe on the finished work of the cross….where the veil was rent in
two. No more distance between God and
man. God incarnated Himself in man redeeming us
unto Himself…. undoing what Adam had done; re-presenting us back unto Him from
the fallen state we found ourselves in. Jesus went to the cross to remove every lie
that we have believed about ourselves.
That through the incarnation, every document of guilt has
been shred….every principality and power employed by the do-it-yourself tree (the tree of the knowledge of good and evil) had
been eliminated.
Many of us know Mark
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.
I once believed that the mountain was a car, a job, a home,
overcoming a health issue, etc. and that
I had to pray and believe those things into my life. But Grace (God's Divine Influence) tells me that the mountain is the
activity that goes on between my ears telling me I don’t qualify for God’s
goodness. The mountain is represented in
the earth that God doesn't love all of mankind; only those who have joined the
Christian club
The mountain is represented
in the heart that says, “I have a sickness that will lead unto death”. The
mountain is found in the heart of the parent whose child wants nothing to do
with them and their God. The mountain is
represented in the lie that I cannot find a job because I am too old….too young…..too
inexperienced…..over qualified….
But Grace is telling me that the faith which will move
mountains is the PERSUASION that Christ has already done it all. Jesus met all the requirements of the law
needed to secure for us the victory God intended for us to walk in from the
foundation of the earth. The victory
being His life, His peace, His joy and His contentment!
So when circumstances of life or the meditation of my heart begins to conflict with the Truth, I
remind myself of Who I am and of Whom I belong… and from that platform, His
peace and His rest moves those mountains on my behalf.
