faith moves mountains

<< < (4/4)

stego:
Thanks for the replies everybody.  I understand that verse much better than i did before now.  Still, I'd like to believe that in God's great universe, anything is possible (including moving mountains) through faith in God.

I don't believe Jesus was speaking of literally tossing literal mountains around, but He was speaking of those (elect) who would (through His Spirit) move the mountains of iniquity or of false gods of selfishness, lusts, spiritual fornication.

Eph 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Also, mountains are prominant as He reveals Himself, His Truths, His Love and His Promises.

Luk 9:28  And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

Joh 6:3  And1161 Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

Mountains in scripture appear to represent the very heights of either goodness, our Lord's ultimate Truths or extreme carnality and iniquity as when Satan took Jesus to the top of a mountain to tempt Him.

Do an e-sword search on mountain, or mountains and I think you will see what I am saying.

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe

P.S.Dan 2:45  Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

Eze 36:1  Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:
 
Eze 36:2  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
 
Eze 36:3  Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:
 
Eze 36:4  Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;

This might sound simplistic but

Faith is not the same is belief.  Belief is the mental ascent of man.

They used believe because English lack the proper word.......
 it should have been translated FAITHING not believe.


Faith is the ‘Ability” to die to self.  WE can’t do that...that is why it is a Gift from God.
 
Faith is  the Ability to Totally Depend on HIM. ] 

The more you die to self the more faith you have.


Beloved
