INTRODUCTION
ONLY IMMOVABLE FAITH CAN MOVE IMMOVABLE MOUNTAINS
IT IS WRITTEN
"If ye have faith, and doubt not, [...] if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done." (Matthew 21:21)
"The God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you]." (1 Peter 5:10)
"If ye continue in the faith grounded [established] and settled, and [be] not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, [and] which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister " (Colossians 1:23)
FOUR REASONS GOD WANTS ME TO HAVE AN IMMOVABLE FAITH
1st reason : TO MAKE ME A GLOBAL AND GENERATIONAL IMPACT
One thing is to build another thing is to establish what I build. Anything I build but I do not establish has no chance to last and cannot impact the next generation.
"Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: "(Proverbs 24:3)
"And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it." (Matthew 7:26)
Doubt is the heart is a sign and a proof of unsettlement. Being established drives away of my heart any trace of doubt and therefore secure God's answers to my prayers and God's showers of blessings over my life.
" When you ask for something, don’t have any doubts. A person who has doubts is like a wave that is blown by the wind and tossed by the sea. 7 A person who has doubts shouldn’t expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 A person who has doubts is thinking about two different things at the same time and can’t make up his mind about anything. (James 1:6-8)
"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 11:23)
3rd reason : TO MAKE ME FLOURISH, PROSPER AND FRUITFUL
If being established is compared to being planted, it is obvious that only a planted tree can be fruitful. To be established is therefore the only gateway to growth and prosperity both spiritually, emotionnally, physically, financially, etc.
"The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing" (Psalm 92:12)
4th reason : TO KEEP ME FREE FROM OPPRESSION
To be established keeps me away from any kind of demonic or human oppression
"In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee." (Isaiah 54:14)
INTERCESSORY PRAYERS GUIDELINES
PRAYER 1 "IT IS GOD WHO ESTABLISHES AND SETTLES"
PRAYER 2 "ESTABLISHEMENT IS THE FRUIT OF UNDERSTANDING"
PRAYER 3 "NO MORE ROOM FOR DOUBT"
PRAYER 4 "BEING IMMOVABLE IS BEING PLANTED "
My God and my Father, grant me the grace to be planted in your House. Keep me from being spiritually vagabond. Keep me from being tossed to and fro and carried by winds of doctrine and circumstances IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST! (Psalm 1:3; Ephesians 4:14; James 1:6)
