After you watch the video and read the study notes below, answer these questions here on the Fellowship Project Blog Posting link on this page:
1. Discuss: How you can have faith in your heart and doubt in your mind and still see answers to prayer. What is the difference between speaking out of the mind versus speaking out of faith in the heart?
2. Discuss: Having the type of faith that believes for a greater return from a little faith. How do you get to that point? Talk about how you can believe from faith's fullness and God’s power and how that moves mountains.
3. How do you stop doubt from entering you internally?.
4. Even if your mountain doesn’t move right away, how will you persevere in faith?
Time to Remove Mountains
"Do not doubt God's power or lack faith in resurrection power. Believe, according to scripture, That Jesus was raised from the dead!"
~ Dr. Kevin L. Zadai
After you watch the video and read the study notes on this page, answer these questions here on the Blog mentioned above:
Jesus replied, “Listen to the truth. If you do not doubt God’s power and speak out of faith’s fullness, you can also speak to a tree, and it will wither away. Even more than that, you could say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and
be thrown into the sea’, and it will be done.
—Matthew 21:21 (TPT)
DISCUSSION:
Jesus curses a fig tree and then leaves for the night. The next day, He cursed the fig tree at its roots because it didn't have any fruit. If something happens to a tree's roots, it can go a long time and still stay green. You wouldn't even know it’s not doing well. The surprise when Jesus cursed the tree is that there was evidence that the tree had shriveled up within twenty-four hours, which is not common. It's not possible for you to have a big tree and say something to it and then the next day it's firewood. A tree doesn't do that, so the disciples were confounded, and they said, “Look Lord, the tree you cursed is dead.” Jesus said to those disciples, “Anything that is in your way should be removed and cast into the sea. Jesus is saying that this mountain that's between you and your destiny needs to go.
• The Lord’s not going to tell you what He has for you and then put a huge obstacle in the way that doesn't allow you through.
• He’s not going to tell you to do something and prevent you from doing it.
• Many people pray and think that God didn’t mean what He said because their mountain isn’t moving.
• Obey the scripture and speak to your mountain and move it.
• He won’t get rid of the mountains for you.
• He’ll tell you what’s on the other side of the mountain, but you are the one to remove it.
• The Bible says to speak to the mountain. Believe in your heart that what you declare with your mouth will happen, and it shall be done for you.
• It doesn’t say here to ask in Jesus’ name.
• It doesn’t say to fast and pray here.
• We have to have Centurion faith where we give a command, and it’s done.
• The highest form of faith is just saying the word Lord, and it will be enough.
• We aren’t going to beg God to move our mountains for us.
• Jesus told Paul that He had done everything He’s going to do about the devil. He’s not doing anything else about him. You’re going to have to do something about the devil. Whatever you bind or loose, it’s done.
• Jesus told Saul before He became Paul, “I’ve given you authority over serpents and scorpions and power over all the enemy.”
What is God teaching you about having faith that moves mountains? How will you apply this to the situations you’re facing?
MUSTARD SEED FAITH
Matthew 17:20 TPT: He told them, “It was because of your lack of faith. I promise you, if you have faith inside of you no bigger than the size of a small mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move away from here and go over there,’ and you will see it move! There is nothing you couldn’t do!
DISCUSSION:
A mustard seed is tiny, yet some mustard plants can grow up to 15 feet tall. It’s a very small seed, but yet it has such a great return in size. It doesn't take much if the seed is good. You don't need a whole sack of them; you only need one. It doesn't matter the size of the seed. It will produce what it was made to produce. Jesus said, “There's nothing that you can't do if you will believe.” You can believe in your heart and doubt in your mind, but what you pray for, you’re still going to receive. When doubt and fear make their way internally and start to rule you, it affects you physically and spiritually, and that’s not where you want to be. If you just believe, then you can do anything.
We want to be aware of when we are speaking out of our mind because when someone says something out of their mind, you look at them and go, “Oh, that’s what you think.” It's apparent it came from their own thoughts. Does what you have to say move mountains? Does it make trees wither? To see things move in your life is an experience of faith within your heart where God's power is real, and you're speaking from that. Do not doubt God's power or lack faith in resurrection power. Believe, according to scripture, that Jesus was raised from the dead. He said, if you speak out of faith's fullness from God's power, you will be the ones to speak to a tree, and it'll wither away. You'll be the ones that will say to a mountain; be removed. Have no doubt. Listen to God’s truth, His power, His fullness, faith’s fullness, and the fact that when you speak to a tree or a mountain, it's going to be removed. It’s a higher level than just prayer.
1. Discuss: How you can have faith in your heart and doubt in your mind and still see answers to prayer. What is the difference between speaking out of the mind versus speaking out of faith in the heart?
2. Discuss: Having the type of faith that believes for a greater return from a
little faith. How do you get to that point?

PRAYER:
Father, I thank you so much for our family all over the world. We just thank all the Warriors all over the world. Father, give everyone favor right now and understanding and thank you, Father, for anointing them and causing them to see that they can speak the word and it'll be done, and so they speak to their mountains. They never give up. They never give up, and whatever they bind will be bound. Whatever they lose will be loosed, in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Father.
