Speaking to Your Mountain
Devotional
Mountains don't move when you complain about them, worry about them, or try to push them with your bare hands. But they do respond to the voice of authority - the voice of someone who knows their identity in Christ and speaks with the power of the Holy Spirit. Zerubbabel faced a mountain of obstacles that seemed immovable. Twelve years of stalled construction, opposition from enemies, and dwindling resources created a barrier that human effort couldn't overcome. But God gave him a powerful weapon: his voice. 'Who are you, mountain, before Zerubbabel? You shall become like a plain.' Your mountain might be financial debt, a health diagnosis, a broken relationship, or a dream that seems impossible. Whatever it is, it's not bigger than the God who lives inside you. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead has given you authority to speak to your circumstances. Speaking to your mountain isn't about positive thinking or wishful hoping. It's about declaring God's truth over your situation with the confidence that comes from knowing who you are in Christ. When you speak in faith, backed by the power of the Holy Spirit, mountains must respond. Stop talking to God about your mountain and start talking to your mountain about your God. Declare His promises over your situation. Speak His word over your circumstances. Command every obstacle to move in Jesus' name. The same Spirit that empowered Zerubbabel to complete the impossible task is ready to level your mountain and make it as flat as a plain.
Bible Verse
'What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of "God bless it! God bless it!"' - Zechariah 4:7
Reflection Question
What mountain in your life needs to hear your voice of authority speaking God's truth instead of your voice of complaint or worry?
Quote
Who are you, mountain? We speak to you, mountain. We speak to you, mountain. Who are you, mountain before Zerubbabel who are you, mountain before Joel. You shall become like a plague.
Prayer
Father, give me the boldness to speak to my mountains with the authority You've given me through Your Spirit. Help me to stop complaining about my obstacles and start commanding them to move in Jesus' name. I declare that no mountain is too big for You. Amen.
