Talk to the Mountain
Kenneth Copeland 
Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say
unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and
shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he
saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

- Mark 11:22-23

"I just don't know what we're going to do. This situation is just a
mess...." 

That is a classic example of speaking about the problem and not to the
problem...and it will get you nowhere except deeper into unbelief and into
more problems! 

Speaking out loud to your problems may sound strange to you, but God
instructed us to in Mark 11:22-23. He said to speak to the mountain. The
mountain represents any problem or adversity in your life. You can change
your circumstances by speaking to them. 

Romans 4:17 refers to such faith talk as calling "things which be not as
though they were," and both God Himself and Abraham (the father of our
faith) did it. 

It's important to note that calling things that be not as though they
were is quite different from calling things that are as though they are
not. When I declare that my needs are met according to God's riches in
glory, I am not denying the existence of any financial problems I might be
experiencing. I'm not pretending they aren't there. I am calling forth the
provision and declaring by faith that those needs are met. I am speaking to
that financial mountain and commanding it to be removed and cast into the
sea. 

I remember one Sunday morning many years ago when I had to speak to a
mountain of sickness that was trying to prevent me from preaching. I was so
sick that as I stood behind the pulpit and started to read the Word, I
began to pass out. 

Now, I had already gone to God earlier that morning on the basis of His
provision and by faith believed I received my healing. But the
manifestation had not yet come. So I told the congregation I would be right
back, went to another room and started speaking to that mountain. 

I ranted and raved and jumped all over the devil. I told him that I was
healed by the stripes of Jesus. I told him his power over me had been
destroyed, and I commanded him in Jesus' Name to get his filthy hand of
sickness off me. When I walked out of that room, I didn't feel any better
physically, but I knew I'd done what the Word instructed me to do, so I
went right back in and started preaching on healing. 

At first my voice sounded bad. My body ached from my toenails to my hair.
But as I was preaching, suddenly the power of God hit me, healed me and
gave me so much strength, I was able to preach all morning long! I had
spoken to the mountain in faith, believing, and it had been cast into the
sea!
