Overcoming the mountains in your life

Do the problems you face seem bigger than life…even bigger than God Himself? Well, I am here to tell you that they aren’t! God is infinitely greater than any problem you face or ever will. The question you need to ask is: Which is bigger, your God or your mountain? Unfortunately, too many of us would answer that our mountain is bigger.

Mountains or opportunities?

Our mountains reveal how small and incapable we are to move them out of the way. But they also offer an incredible opportunity to discover how great and awesome God really is. Recognize today that your mountain can actually be a blessing in disguise!

The first step to overcome your mountain is to get a fresh revelation of God. Isaiah needed this fresh revelation when he faced his mountain. He faced a leadership crisis in his life and in the nation at the death of King Uzziah.

Isaiah 6:1 says, “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.” His discouragement and hopelessness evaporated when God gave him a vision of His greatness—literally changing the prophet’s life forever. Isaiah now had revelation that, what was impossible for him, was indeed possible for his God.

Understand that God is great and your problem is no match for Him. Get alone with God, with the intention of seeking Him to download a strategy to overcome the mountain you face. Remember the advice that the Lord’s brother gives us in James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” Keep a pen and paper with you to write down the best four or five possible solutions. Believe that the word God gives you is His strategy to remove your mountain. His promises are true and when applied; they release His power against your mountain.

With humility, prayer and openness to the Holy Spirit, step out in faith to act on one of those solutions. Trust God to close some doors and to open others, unveiling even more possibilities.

Connect with people who are solution-oriented, not with people who just sympathize with you and your problems. There aren’t too many visionaries in the world today who see the end from the beginning! Be careful to guard your heart from adopting a victim mentality. 

In conclusion, no matter what problems you face, relational, marital, financial, emotional, vocational; you’ll find a solution if you have a revelation of how big God truly is. God loves to work with people who know they need His strength. The Lord told the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9a, “And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Don’t let yourself be overwhelmed and defeated in life; move your mountain…..you can, you know!
