Mountain Moving Faith by Bobbie Agee

When we face life's obstacles, it is easy to fall into a pattern of whining, complaining, or begging God for help. However, we must remember that God is moved by faith, not by our complaints. As His children, we don't have to plead like outsiders. God wants us to have the desires of our hearts, and He has already given us the tool to obtain them. Many people feel they lack the "big faith" required for a miracle. Yet, Jesus tells us in Matthew 17:20 that if we have faith as a mustard seed, we can tell a mountain to move and it will obey. A mustard seed is only the size of a small poppy seed. You don't need a mountain of faith to move a mountain of a problem; you only need a small amount of genuine trust in a big God. Faith is not something we wait for; it is something we build. Romans 10:17 teaches that faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Think of it like baking a cake. Whatever ingredients you put in are what you will get out. If you put in the Word and meditate on it, you will reap the benefits of His promises. But if you focus on negative reports, doctor's opinions, or your own feelings, you feed unbelief. We can look to the example of Abraham. At one hundred years old, he refused to consider the deadness of his own body or Sarah’s womb. He didn't worry or doubt because he was fully persuaded that God was able to do what He promised. He essentially told the devil to "shut up" and chose to believe God's report over his natural circumstances. Your imagination also plays a vital role. Proverb 23:7 says that as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. You must use your "inner eyes" to see the manifestation of God's word before it appears in the natural. Whether you are believing for healing, a godly spouse, or financial provision, you must hold that image in your heart until it becomes more real than the pain in your body or the lack in your bank account. Finally, remember that faith works through love. If you truly understood how much God loves you, your faith would shoot through the roof. God is love, and He loves you more than any earthly parent could ever love their child. When you rest in that love, you can stop struggling and start receiving.
