  • Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come.

The Mountain Mover

  • Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun. Psalm 37:4-6 WEB.

    Once while performing a deed search on some property, we found a tax lien had been filed against us by the state for several thousand dollars. After calling the Department of Revenue, they said we had missed filing some business form about office furniture years ago. Yet, we didn't have an office.

    So they "estimated" that we owed the maximum amount they could charge. Then the penalties and fines multiplied for years. We had never received any notification about this form and were horrified when we found out. They couldn't give us the details because the record had been archived. The lady on the phone told us that they would have to restore a backup of it that night and to "Please check back tomorrow."

    My wife Sylvia and I joined hands and prayed about this together. One phrase came to me, "Say nothing negative."

    Every fiber of my being wanted to scream, "We don't owe this in the first place!" I wanted to whine and complain so badly'but we didn't. Instead, we just didn't talk about it at all for the next 24 hours. We ate dinner in silence. It wasn't easy. We just had to trust God to handle the situation because it had grown into a mountain.

    The next day we called the D.O.R. back and found that it was an error. They agreed that we never owed the bill. So the penalties and fees shouldn't have accumulated anyway. The lady nicely removed the record, and the tax lien went away.

    When mountains rise up in front of you, and things begin to look impossible to resolve, trust in the Lord God. He can make the impossible come to pass, for nothing is impossible for Him. God can move the mountain.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, please melt the mountains in my life. Cover me with your Holy Spirit and protect me during this time. Help me make the right decisions and to say nothing negative. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Mountains have appeared all around me and my family lately, I've been praying and talking about it to the family and friends, the mountains seem to be getting larger! So this word has come to me just in time. I know the lord has heard my cries! I will stay strong and quiet, I know the mountains will fall and move to the side so we can walk forward covered with the lord's love and protection. 
Thank you Pastor Todd, Sylvia for this wonderful message much needed. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone God Bless.

Father bless this family. Pour out Your Spirit upon them and these mountains. Show them Your grace which is sufficient. Flood them with unexplainable peace which only comes from You. Work out the situations in each person,  needed to accomplish Your will in their lives. Draw them all closer to You. Reveal any possible sin and bring repentance. Most importantly help them feel Your love and to live each other...in Jesus Christ Name. Amen. Bless you guys. Jesus is Lord. He is in control.
