MOUNTAIN MOVING FAITH

‘Charisma’ is the Greek word in the original text of the Bible, used for the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Charisma literally means ‘grace-gift, free-gift, a spiritual-endowment’. 

FAITH is one of these Charisma free-gifts God wants you to receive for you to live victoriously and without fear.   

Beloved, faith moves mountains, faith framed the universe by the word of God, faith is imperative for Christian living and scripture emphasises this by repeating on four separate occasions, ‘The righteous shall live by faith’ (Hab 2:4, Rom 1:17, Gal 3:11, Heb 10:38).

The Bible cautions us not to ever believe that the pursuit of such faith can be a matter of ego saying, ‘Faith is a gift from God, not of works, lest anyone should boast’ (Eph 2:9). So it is vital to remember that we don’t produce faith by our own striving, strength or self-righteousness. However, scripture is also absolutely clear that ‘Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of Christ’ (Rom 10:17). This means that when we hear the word of Christ, faith comes. When we take time in His word and meditate on His glorious good news, we position our hearts to receive a Charisma-gift deposit of FAITH. 

As you take this time daily over the next seven days, I firmly believe that the Holy Spirit is going to download into your soul, from your innermost-being, a special-delivery package of mountain-moving faith to equip you for the days ahead. 

As you hear His word, and in particular as you meditate on and declare Psalm 91, something of fear is going to shatter; something of timidity is going to crumble. Insecurities and anxieties, perhaps those born of wounding, disappointment, betrayal, abuse, failure and rejection will vanish as His bold faith is deposited inside you by the Holy Spirit.  

With all this in mind, I now challenge you to read Psalm 91 aloud at least once a day for the next seven days. Faith comes by hearing, and there is procreative life in the power of the tongue.

Below is a personalised version of the passage to make it your declaration. As you read it aloud, I pray that the Holy Spirit will begin to do something dynamic within you in Jesus’ name.

Meditate on the bold theme of Gods protection. See yourself as indomitable, unassailable and unshakeable in Jesus. Dare to believe that if anyone or anything wants to get to you or your family, they have to come through Christ Himself.

PSALM 91 PERSONALISED
TO READ AND DECLARE ALOUD

1. I dwell in the secret place of the Most High; therefore, I abide under the shadow of God Almighty.

2. The Lord God is my refuge and my fortress; He is my God, and in Him, I do trust with all my heart.

3. He surely delivers me from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.

4. He covers me with His feathers, and under His wings, I take refuge. His truth is my shield and buckler.

5. I am not afraid of the terror by night nor of the arrow that flies by day,

6. Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7. A thousand may fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand, but it shall not come near me.

8. Only with my eyes shall I look and see the reward of the wicked.

9. Because I have made the Lord God my refuge, even the Most High my dwelling place,

10. No evil shall befall me, nor shall any plague come near my dwelling;

11. He gives His angels charge over me; they keep me in all my ways.

12. In their hands, they lift me up, lest I strike my foot against a stone.

13. I tread upon the lion and the cobra; the young lion and the serpent I trample underfoot.

14. The Lord says to me, “Because you have set your love upon Me, therefore I will deliver you; I will set you on high because you have known My name.

15. You shall call upon Me, and I will answer you; I will be with you in trouble; I will deliver you and honour you.

16. With long life, I will satisfy and show you My salvation.”
