Mountain Movers

Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Learn how to master your mountain moving experiences...one mountain at a time! Mountains manifest in many forms. Some mountains are financial while others are emotional. Still other mountains may manifest in an emotional manner. Whatever the mountain, it undoubtedly formed due to some issue confronted in life. Mountains are enormous structures that, in the natural, must be mounted. Fear often grips us and we become overwhelmed and anxious. However, in the spirit realm, mountains can and should be moved!!! Jesus is quoted as saying the following, "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." Isn't that great news and assurance! Are you prepared to mount or move your mountain? Can you determine to operate in faith and put fear (of the mountain) underneath your feet! Moving mountains can be both tedious and exhausting. However, the "take-away" and sense of accomplishment is a far better reward than remaining in an indecisive state of mountainous fear! Pastor Creflo Dollar recently tweeted, "Fear is a powerful spirit that preys on our minds, but it can be defeated." Fear of any past painful experience can progressively develop into a massive, formidable structure that is almost surreal. The quintessential "Mountain Mover" is always prepared to face the next mountain in [her] life. She realizes that mountains are an unfortunate part of her journey to greatness! She also realizes that while the mountains are different in length, width, and purpose; the method to overcome them remains the same through her absolute faith and progressive works. Dr. C. has successfully mastered the mountain moving technique and is committed to assisting other women in their journeys to move their mountains.

Moving Mountains
Author: John Eldredge
Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
New York Times best-selling author of Wild at Heart John Eldredge offers readers a step-by-step guide to effective Christian prayer. How would it feel to enter into prayer with confidence and assurance—certain that God heard you and that your prayers would make a difference? It would likely feel amazing and unfamiliar. That’s because often our prayers seem to be met with silence or don’t appear to change anything. Either response can lead to disappointment or even despair in the face of our ongoing battles and unmet longings—especially when we don’t know if we’re doing something wrong or if some prayers just don’t work. New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge confronts these issues directly in Moving Mountains by offering a hopeful approach to prayer that is effective, relational, and rarely experienced by most Christians. In a world filled with danger, adventure, and wonder, we have at our disposal prayers that can transform the events and issues that matter most to us and to God. Moving Mountains shows you how to experience the power of daily prayer, learn the major types of prayers—including those of intervention, consecration, warfare, and healing—and to discover the intimacy of the cry of the heart prayer, listening prayer, and praying Scripture. Things can be different, and you personally have a role to play with God in bringing about that change through prayer. It may sound too good to be true, but this is your invitation to engage in the kind of prayers that can move God's heart as well as the mountains before you. Moving Mountains is also available in Spanish, Mueve montañas. To dive deeper into the Moving Mountains message, the Moving Mountains study guide and video study are available now.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
- Improve your health and well-being. - Remove the problems from your life - Increase the power of your faith In life, day-to-day problems come to us all, but if our faith is weak, even small problems can quickly grow to appear bigger than they really are. Doubt and worry are the most destructive forms of fear; they can cloud our vision blinding us from the truth. A mountain of doubt can cripple your life. Like a rabbit in headlights, you close your eyes and freeze, hoping the problem will go away when you have opened them. When it remains, you can be left dazed and confused not knowing what way to turn. All rational thought goes out the window. In a panic to get things back to the way they were; you can make all the wrong decisions. No one likes change, but it is much easier when you come from a place of strength; when it originates from a place of faith and not fear. Faith is like a muscle; like any muscle, it needs to be consistently exercised to have maximum power. When all is going smoothly, our faith can be easily neglected, although this is the time that we must use to maintain its strength. If you were asked to run a marathon tomorrow, unless you had put in the training, you might not even reach the half way point. How then can you expect to have the faith to remove the problems from your life if you do not first develop a level of faith that can do so? Faith is something that needs constant attention or thoughts of doubt will set in. In this book, I will share with you methods to increase your faith, and keep it at its highest level; so you are prepared for any problem or difficulty that may arise. When you nurture your faith, you will begin to see your life change in unusual ways. Things that once held you back will soon fade away. A simple change of perspective can make a mountain become level ground. Change your life today; increase the power within.
