Mountain-moving Faith in Christ by Bishop KP Yohannan

Jesus had spent thirty long years preparing and getting ready for God to work a miracle through Him. He not only prepared Himself by walking in fellowship with His Heavenly Father, but by developing a relationship of utmost seclusion and intimacy with Him.

Bishop Dr once said, -The only thing we really believe in is the thing we believe in enough to act upon.- In the verses of Mark 11:23-24, the message outlines a process that starts with the desire of an individual to attain the impossible. It is to delight oneself in the Lord and He will give us the desires of your heart - Psalm 37:4. Hence, as we delight ourselves in God, He places all His desires in us.


A mountain-moving faith grows out of a relationship that we develop with God. We are aware that desire fuels action and hence, when that desire motivates us towards praying and attainment of communion with the Lord, we begin to experience the real power of God at work in our lives - 2 Corinthians 13:14. It is through the promises of God that we gain -Faith- and hence, it is not a one-way charter. It is through the promises of God that we put our desires into action through constant prayer.

Bishop further adds that we know that for over three years, Jesus had spent all his time and each day with His disciples, preparing and shaping their lives and hence, if we compute, three years accounts to 1095 days or 26,280 hours, less the sleeping hours, assuming that the disciples did sleep when they should have prayed, but Jesus constantly looked over them and never gave up on his belief in them.

It is said that one can develop a mountain-moving faith in small steps, one at a time and to do so, one should be able to combat doubts and this limits our capability to think about what God can do in and through us and what we can do in and through Him. It is essential that we spend time in prayer with the Lord and feed on our spiritual desire with the love, word and promises of God. We need to learn to be led by the Holy Spirit and it is only when you sleep through this opportunity that we can wake up and move forward to the next step that Jesus provides us with - Matthew 26:36-46.
