Mark 11:24
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.


This is my continuing dialogue about having faith to move a mountain. If you like you can view various threads throughout that has been discussing this issue intently.

...I have not given up.

I have posted my response in the thread

I Saw A Vision Of People Trying To Move A Huge Stone.
http://www.christian-forum.net/index.php?showtopic=9226

and the same response in

The Stone People Are Coming
http://www.christian-forum.net/index.php?s...=9220&st=10

My related discussions included my thread entitled "The Pain Manifesto"
http://www.christian-forum.net/index.php?showtopic=9225

Which I had followed up with
Led Into The Wilderness...
http://www.christian-forum.net/index.php?showtopic=9249

In addition is Fervent's Post entitled
How to Remove a Mountain
http://www.christian-forum.net/index.php?showtopic=9251

Prior to all this was my thread
How Human was Christ?...
http://www.christian-forum.net/index.php?showtopic=9197

In my response on the thread entitled Stone People I expressed my consternation that this stone must go, and asked if anyone was interested.

Today, I went into that wilderness (it's a state park) and hike about a mile to find a stone of girth and height. I took with me paper and a pen and I wrote down my desire and another person's desire and place them on that stone. Here is the picture I took of it when I went today.

You can barely make out the yellow stickie in the lower middle of this stone. My trek out to this place was more difficult than I thought, and made even more so by my current condition. I said a prayer in Christ's name to bring this stone down and returned home. Thinking "I will not do this again" because it was very difficult...but then, maybe I will. I don't know.

My request from you who reads this is to pray that Christ fullfills my desire and the desire of another I had carried up to that stone, per Mark 11:24. In fact I would encourage anyone with a desire to be fulfilled by this scripture pray for the same and believe the same...

...This stone will break

I still have another idea that is linked to this, but I don't want to do it alone. PM me if you want to know.

Wow HB! That is a trek that not many would be willing to take....

I have to ponder on this for a while....

Luk 20:18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Lord, in that Humble Bob is making a pointed confession of faith and in that he has backed it up by performing a prophetic act to induce the performance of his prayer, I subscribe to his initiative of faith and I stand with him in his desire to see the stone crumble to nothing....I am reminded that Jesus Christ is the chief corner stone and upon Him we will fall and be broken or else He will grind us to powder. I know that if we allow Christ to break us, it is to the end that the flesh be removed from us, for it is indeed a burdensome stone and a dead weight to carry. Lord I have no idea what the issue is with HB, but I know my own issues and HB has invited anyone who has a desire to stand in faith for the removal of their personal megalith in life to stand now or forever hold our peace. (implied)

I am of a mindset today which borders on "sensationalized depression" for the lack of the"I wants" of my life and in the "fearful knowledge" that such vanity conspires to defeat me. And yet there is a scriptural basis to believe.... Psa 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Humble Bob, I am standing with you and for you and I am in agreement for your undiscovered reality to come to pass. May we both know the fulfilment of a dream, a desire, a goal, an ambition, a solidified faith, a manifestation of His grace, be it ever so far from occuring. As we draw nigh to God he will draw nigh to us. 2Co 2:15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 2Co 2:16 To the one [we are] the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who [is] sufficient for these things? 2Co 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

I have been led by the Holy Spirit of God so to write and as such I am well able to set my seal to this testament.

apart from faith , it is impossible to please the Lord,


Lord, are you pleased?
Humble Bob
Today, I returned to the stone carrying with me the desire of a few more who asked me to. I went there to place them on the face of the stone, a thing that has come to symbolize the impediment in my faith that keeps me from believing without doubt. For those who have asked me I believe the stone also represents the same impediment for them. We are all looking to the Lord that he moves this stone and break it to pieces!

I carried with me the desire of others willingly out of love and service that I may please Christ as the Lord's humble servant.

My trek today was easier as I was a bit more prepared. I wore clothing that was more resistant to the brush and I wore my old rock climbing shoes to reach where I can leave the listed desires of those I had written down.

IPB Image IPB Image

I gave thanks to the Lord that I was able to make the trek. Though it was less difficult it made me wonder how I made it the first time.

After placing the note, I prayed to God that in Christ name he fulfill the desires of all those that I had carried to this stone. I gave him thanks and returned home.

I am still believing and I invite anyone else to pray and believe with me.

Miche, you are a blessing! Hang in there and be faithful.

...only 32 more days!

What a kind and loving act that was placed upon your heart, HB...

Praise be to God, He will be faithful to answer those prayers...

Jesus is my rock. I go before him daily and for many years.... praying and believing in every way.

The truth is...sometimes he says not yet. It's just a fact of life. I began this in my 30's. I'm 58 now.

I've seen him answer particular prayers of others. But l've also seen him not answer prayers... It's not because of unbelief and it's also not because of belief.

Some of the answers l've seen are interesting.

One in particular...Though l won't disclose the details...this is a prayer that was answered because the people would be lost soon without it. I know this because l was close to it. They were actually people of little faith. Without the answer that was given there would have been a domino effect to the bad. And yes we see those every day but we always aren't close enough to really see it.

My answer from the Lord was "l'm not done using it" How could l answer the Lord back with anything other than... "l trust you no matter what!"

I believe in the ultimate goodness of God. I trust him no matter what. My faith won't work against the sovereign will of God. Experience has taught me that in God's timing he will bring a thing to pass. What ever we ask in his name believing according to his purposes will be done in Jesus name and because of his name. And all the lonely people said? AMEN and amen...

Keep knocking and knocking and knocking...because he said to.

But he also said to trust him.

This is the test of our faith. Do we trust even if prayer isn't answered?

When the answer is yes then you will know you have reached the level of faith he was looking for!

Thank you for sharing Miki.


Faith is a funny thing............ without it, you can't please God. How do you get more faith? Pray, ask God, but with that, comes a trial. Why? Becauase how does your faith grow without having to wait?

But ohhhhhhhhhh how beautiful it is when you , like Miki said , have reached the level of faith God wants you to have.

Have you ever been told "don't pray for patience, because God will make you earn it" ? Is Faith like that?



kim48
HEHE I learned 10 years ago NEVER to pray for patience.
You got me thinking about faith because I could not learn it by hearing and reading about it. I have to learn about it from the school of hard knots. I had to live through it before I could understand it totally. I am there now and thank God I am. I know God would rather show me in his word but I was slow so he had to show me the hard way.
I have all the patience I NEED and I dont want any more.

It's like a good friend who promised to mend a fence that I had put off mending because he said he would. Season, after season, and after season the fence goes unmended, and I think that I should remind him but I don't, for I trust his word is enough.

With ever more faith in the matter I loose my senses to the wilderness almost to the point that my desire looses it importance to me, that my spirit is lulled by the Lord's shining promise. I can believe in anything at that point. But then the rudeness of reality and fear shakes me, I loose my focus reminding me "I am still here. I am still inhabiting my earthly tent"

I am somber in my wait, but ripened fruit from the vine unpicked eventually falls off the vine. Even wheat is harvested at a certain season otherwise the whole crop is lost if left unattended.

The Lord cannot wait me out because I am mortal, and his promise was meant for this life time, if not then I am a poor student to his word.

Christ once said you cannot pour new wine into old wineskins otherwise both would be lost. I can only think Christ was speaking of men because nothing is impossible for God, for if it was his pleasure the Lord could pour new wine into old skins and keep the seams from bursting. He maketh all things by his word in that he keeps me from bursting.

I still believe.
Miki
HB did it ever occur to you that you may be understanding something wrong?

That's why we have to trust him. We are like little children that hardly know a thing but he loves us anyway.

And if your fence needs mending and man made a promise yet unfulfilled you might never get it mended.

If you received a personal word from the Lord about a personal fence that is different. Then wait.

But if you are understanding wrongly (the promise given) maybe he wants the fence torn down?

There are a lot of reasons we don't see happen what we want, hope and believe for. Needs are different than wants. You may want a Cadillac but you only need a used car that runs.

The enemy always opposes us....our flesh gets in the way.....we are in disobedience in another area of our life....

God has a plan...He knows how the enemy works, your level of prayer and your level of faith. These work together. Trust him. He knows what he's doing for your own good. Merry Christmas!
Humble Bob

But, it is a child that understands wrongly, in his or her child ways.

And if my desire go unfulfilled, who is then responsible? I will not mention if before the Lord at my judgement so that the memory of the matter be forgotten. But should the Lord say "it was not done, for you had little faith," likewise then it is as it was for God commandeth every word he speaks. That my words fall to the ground while every one the Lord utters is lifted up.

It pleases him if he divides my blessing amongst another more faithful and plies my soul with the rod and fire, but in the whole of my life I still believe that God is a loving God, and not cruel.

The Lord is working something out with you and He sees your heart.I sense that you will move forward in your understanding and because God has placed such a desire (for faith) in your heart, through His sovereignty, you will have what you want.

I think there will be a gift of faith. (For the trials ahead)

2Ki 6:15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? 2Ki 6:16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that [be] with us [are] more than they that [be] with them. 2Ki 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain [was] full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. 2Ki 6:18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

Yes, the secret is in simplicity..this day the Lord is urging me to rethink my/our theology which rancors and stifles the original concept of Luk 18:16 But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

I find that as God moves in my life, whether supernaturally, or in a natural outflowing of events, there is always a mutifaceted approach as several issues get dealt with simultaneously. God is highly "multi-taskable."

I earnestly await what God will do in HB and his search for righteousness peace and joy...for it will lighten my path also....He is going to the mountain even as Moses went...there he will hear from God and bring a tablet of words back down the mountain with him...may we not be worshipping a golden calf when he returns.
Humble Bob
I want to describe to anyone who cares to read what I've been feeling lately. I'll start by asking myself openly, am I content? When I think about it I say "No, dear God, I am not."

I feel the anxiety from the wait of a back to heal, the delivery of fortunes to enable the meek, the repair of a family and a marriage, the walk in complete healing and strength. This is only but a few desires I come to know.

Me? I don't need anything, but I to desire. To me "needs" are life saving things. "I need food and water", "I need air","I need clothing", etc. Well, I have these things, but I am not content. Do I need more? No. Do I desire more of these things. No.

The world all over is filled with a deperate desire to mend the broken, be it from illness, family strife, mediocrity, poverty. These are cries to God saying "I desire, please answer me"

Luke 11:11-12
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?


To me, God is more than just an idea. His being is real, his Son is real, his plan for salvation is real. It is the last thing I hold dear in my heart while the world threatens to strip it away from me.

Isaiah 9:19-20
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.

20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:


I live in the world surrounded by the hungry that snatch at the right hand, and that none are satisfied. One by those that seek to satisfy their desire on their own, the other that seek to satisfy their desire by God. And within me is the mockery of the other. That is my struggle, and maybe there are some here even more familiar with this kind of struggle than I.

So, the prayer is still there, the faith is still there, the patience is still there, and the desire is still there.

What is that desire? To split the mountain in two, because God command it to be done! It's not a fancy or a "wouldn't that be nice, IF it happened." It's not second place, and it's not like Mic Jaggar's tune "You can't always get what you want." If the stone were not rolled away before the Lord's tomb Christ would still be in the grave. It is the same with having faith, believing my desire be fulfilled, otherwise my faith remains in a grave. The mountain must split, the stone rolled away!

If I believed any other way I'd be content despite a world full of desires from faithful, earnest, loving people who really believe in Christ. I'd be feeling for those wallowing in pain at arms length, because I am not the one in pain?

But I am not because I feel as if the mail is not being delivered, and tired of my thought "oh that's just the way the mail runs." There's a spigot that drips water, but that doesn't satisfy my thirst, and I tire at my thought "oh if I wait long enough my cup will fill."

All this is from that stone, and I believe it's out lasted (for several millenia, now) it's utility. It has to go.

And if you don't get them is it still ok? This is the question you will have to find out about yourself...

When things are taken away from us does our world fall apart? If people are teaching you that when you become a Christian everything will be rosy then l wonder who's talking?

They tell you your faith isn't ripe and that's why you don't have them.

I say the reason you don't have them is because you need them. Or want them...Paul was satisfied in prison or in plenty...He said he learned it too. "I learned to be satisfied" he said.

Talk about being prepared for what's ahead! Learn want now. Learn where your hope lies now. This will give you compassion for others. It will cause you to reach out or crawl in hole.

"My Hope is Built on Nothing Less"
by Edward Mote, 1797-1874

1. My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

2. When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

3. His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne!
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

It's the secret...Helping others...Fill the gap and God will bless you..not with wealth necessarily but with a heart full of love, understanding, compassion, and mercy. The fountain within ... sustaining life. The more you give the more it flows...(Hey l'm ministering to myself here blush.gif ) PTL...I wonder if l've lost some of this...Got to get back in the sadle....

Is his grace sufficient? The temptation is to walk around in sullied discontent. How could that be scriptural? If the enemy has been holding you back or the answer back how can we defeat him? By going forward in faith...doing everything we should regardless of the circumstances. Amen?

See we get the same stuff the world gets. God says so. He cause the rain and sun to come down on all. But it's how we respond to it that makes all the difference. Where is our hope placed?

I'm old enough to see many men of faith not get what they prayed for. I've seen most do their job anyway. There is a joy and sadness to this life....Some prayers are answered others are not. I don't know why God does it the way he does but l trust him.

I family l know who's child had Cancer...She was of little faith but the Lord had mercy. Pure mercy and not because of faith. I know of another family with great faith... Their child died.

I remember someone saying to a blind girl.
"You must be very special because God has entrusted this to you." And she was. She went on to run a blind school and give many small children hope.

And what a temptation! I like your phraseology on this point...and it opens up a can of proverbs...

One thing I have a hard time dealing with is the guilt trip. It comes from within and from without. For that which I am called to, that which draws my attention, that which is my personal experience must always be weighed against the moral rectitude of others. And even of my own inner heart of hearts, wondering what manner of fool I am....

I look about me and see greater and lesser persons. I see people who live in squalor. I see people who dine sumptuously. I see my humble little abode and other Christians living in beautiful homes where the entrance way where they hang their coats is as large as my living room. I see me with a diabetic condition which is bad enough. But I have no pain. I see a brother-in-law who has been wracked with advanced arthritis to being a cripple. I see kids dying of cancer. I see homeless waifs, defiled virgins, promiscuous lovers, whole continents of religious unsaved people blah blah blah...

And somehow in the midst of it all, the good and the bad, I find even within myself, a forlorn cry of beggarly inconvenience to my hearts desires, for when I weigh them against what others face I feel shame faced and unworthy of receiving. Is it right to spend one's days in a spirit of impoverishment, somehow justified by the fact that I am better off than others, even if marginally so? At that rate is there any room beyond... 1Ti 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 1Ti 6:7 For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out. 1Ti 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 1Ti 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

Somehow one comes away feeling like it is Christmas and the kid next door got "Leggo" and I got "Pick Up Sticks" and am resolved therewith to be content.

There must be a balance bar somewhere. In case this is so construed, it is not a directive against Miki herein written, but a heart plea for deferred hope having some form of validity. Yet does it?

If I could say everything as concisely as you do, I would write a very short book. I admire you for it.

Ecc 5:1 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. Ecc 5:2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter [any] thing before God: for God [is] in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. Ecc 5:3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice [is known] by multitude of words.

It's a good Scripture refresh daily and keep in our pocket!

The burden of faith is heavy, but I still carry it.

Jesus said

"Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."

I believe this word is unerring and lifted up, that should a hapless child perish in illness somehow his words are still true despite my faith in the matter. That's the burden.

Does anyone have a desire they wish fulfilled by Christ? Only 27 days left in the wilderness....

I did not revisit the stone this weekend as no one had any desires for me to carry.

Today, I've got a little stomach bug that's been going around my family. I pray that I will endure as I felt the forces of opposition since this has been started. Please pray with me. I receive the handoff Monday.

24 days left.

I must not be making a dent in the Spirit as my fasting of the past three days have gone well and I have had good outcomes in my daily living circumstances and I have had renewed hope. I expected an attack but it has not come..then again I am under the shelter of the wings of the Most High...

2Ki 6:15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? 2Ki 6:16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that [be] with us [are] more than they that [be] with them.

I am believing for a "visitation" tomorrow which is the anniversary date of my last powerful touch from God...Jan 01 1999...

when you feel better, and as time allows, will you carry one. My husband plans on going through with a full divorce on Jan 7th. I don't want to be put to shame like that. I want God to heal us.

Miki
A divorce doesn't matter. God can still bring him back. Let go and live. Trust and wait. Not for your earthly husband to return...but for Jesus...Your one true husband. wub.gif wub.gif
Humble Bob
I feel, calm. Waiting on the Lord. I am not worried that I do not see him, or hear him, but I am calm and feeling good.

I have confidence in the Lord and in His will. smile.gif
Humble Bob
The Lord is faithful! The Lord is faithful! His burden is lite! His love and mercy is abundant, for he offers that I carry only what I can bear!

dear HB,

what do you mean by 27 days?

May you stand firm in the things of the Lord, and may the blessings of the Lord
overtake you as a wave of the Holy Spirit is splashing over your life, and you are
being washed in the water of the Word. May you be healed in all the dry places
that the salve of the Lord is being applied. May your patience and your endurance
be the gifts that see you through and these things given to strengthen and deepen
your walk with Him. May you see Him walking upon the clouds, and may you see
Him walking across the street, and may you see Him walking towards you with
arms wide open. He loves you...hold on. Hold on. Just hold on to that.

blessings,

...a woman from work said to me yesterday that she was going a
Daniel fast...i didn't understand her at first, then I realized she
meant DANIEL. So, i considered that I WAS called to fast...

today, i heard some awesome preaching...and it was almost an
hour before I got to work...he preached on Jonah...and a calling
to fast...even the animals...

i realize that there is a mountain of offense...a gate guard...
or besetting sin, or unbelief that needs to be thou removed...and
in agreement it can be and will be...and much more...cuz that
rock you been climbing isn't little...so it is for us, and collectively...

i am in agreement with God's will to be revealed and manifest in
a multitude of blessings...for all that will humble themselves and
ask...

thank you,

i will fast again this Wednesday. i am very oppressed and feel
quite alone.i would like to step out of my life into the promised land...
and although i see it just ahead...seems like all hell is breaking out
around me. i am sad for the enormity of the offense of this world and the apathy of those around me, the arrogance of carnal Christians
that wound with their words...

i was wounded yesterday in the marketplace of work. i have no
recourse except to turn the other cheek. O, God please shine
through this and the days ahead that I may be a witness to your
love and light and the message of the love of Jesus be shed abroad
through those that I come into contact with during my days. Please
fill my heart with forgivenss and compassion and let your hand
of healing be upon the marketplace for all who shout up to you.

how amazing, the Bible is open and I just looked at the page it's on.

concerning the question the people asked regarding the One of
humble beginnings...o, Bethlehem Epratha...the Galillean...Jesus...

John 7:43

"So there was a division among the people because of Him".

thank you Jesus, for your Word is True

it not". John 1:5

Dear, Signet

I've been feeling spiritually low myself. It is a wonder that 40 days has almost gone by.

Today, my service to Laurel and to Wernotalone weighed on my heart and mind, but then I read your post and it reminded me that my service is a willingness on my part to complete. So, I was inspired and I trekked out in to the wilderness one last time.

Today is also my day of fasting, and I've choosen a hard fast; no food.

Its a funny thing, but each time I have returned to the stone I find no sign of the last note that I had left behind. I like to think that our desires written on these scraps of paper were later bourne on the wings of angels, upto heaven and onto the foot of God. laugh.gif

Is it not a wonder how the Lord works, that you, Signet had a hard time and the Lord use it to move me? I felt like I did not want to go but Christ reminded me this is not my work. Thank you Signet for bearing a suffering for my sake. wub.gif

Now, I have placed everyone who had ask that their desire be brought to this stone. The fortieth day approaches. I have learned a lot on this journey and for the others I am sure the Lord has poured in each their share of some very personal experiences.

First and foremost, I have learned that Christ does not loose faith even when mine waivers, and he lifts me up. I have learned that Christ wants me to have victory because he loves me very much and my victories are his anyways. In fact I believe my desires are his, that all things are his doing, for the Lord has made all things good and bad, even my thoughts, though, God is always good smile.gif

Well, Jan 24 is the 40th day into the wilderness. If anyone is inspired to do so, please join in fasting on this day for the occassion. Afterward, all fasting is done! My service and yours are finished, and then the waiting begins. May the stone fall

Love, as always

thank you for going to the rock with the messages of our hearts.

...while posting somewhere else...this came for you...


Isaiah 57:14

"And one shall say, "Heap it up!
Prepare the way,
Take the stumbling block out of the way of My people".

verse 15...speaks of he with a humble and contrite spirit...

bless you,
signet



Isaiah 66:2

"For all those things My hand was made,
And all those things exist,"
Says the Lord.

"But on this will I look:
On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles at My word."

May He pour out a blessing that you cannot contain...and may the
water of the word overflow your cup...
