Why are we not moving mountains?

Hey guys! Hannah here… there is something that I'm wanting to share my heart about. You know Freddy and I have been talking lately about how our country as a whole is just not seeing things change that need to be changed. Last night we were laying in the living room floor and the kids were asleep and we were just talking about God, Freddy looked at me and said "you know honey I just don't understand why were not seeing the move of God anymore." And as a whole that is so true. 

Yes we say we believe, we pray, and we go to church, but why is it when we see somebody at Walmart in a wheelchair, why is it we don't go over to them and pray for them and see them get up and walk immediately? Isn't that what Jesus did? Didn't He say if we believed then we could move mountains?

"And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." (Matthew 17:20 KJV)

You know Jesus said in the Bible that we would go on to do more than what he did.

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." (John 14:12 KJV)

So why are we not seeing the miraculous in today's world? We ought to be seeing peoples lives being changed daily. There so many Christians in the world today but yet is anybody really doing anything?  This may sound harsh, and it's it's hard on me just saying it. But I have to be truthful. I don't go and pray for people in public most of the time. Actually I would say 99% of the time I don't do that. But why not? Didn't Jesus tell us to do that?  

"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." (Mark 16:17-18 KJV)

The point I'm getting at is I believe either we just don't really believe, or we are in such fear of the devil making us believe that our prayers may not work is the reason we are not moving mountains today. So I challenge every one of you that are Christians, pray for people! Pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ! 

"In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out." (Ephesians 6:18 KJV)

Pray in public, let's see what happens! I know I'm going to be praying about these things and asking God to help me with this because there's no reason that people should be dying every day of diseases, of cancer, there's no reason why people have to spend their whole life in a wheelchair, there's no reason why when you have a cold you can't tell it to go and it not go. God is either God or he isn't folks! It's as simple as that. He said if you believe your mountain WILL be removed!

"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 KJV)

We have to really start believing and trusting Him and building our faith up. I want to see more things happen in this world. I want to see all this crime and all this wickedness go in Jesus name!  I want to turn on the news and see something good for once instead of something bad every time! We have the power in Jesus name to do this but were not. So let this be an encouragement to you.. Build your faith up! Seek God! Praise and Worship Him! Let's get back to being a Christian nation! Let's start witnessing signs and wonders and miracles! Let's pray for God to pour his love out on our nation! Lift up your brothers and sisters in Christ! Pray for the lost! Start reaching out and trying to lead them to the Lord! Let's all really do something!

I don't have this all together, TRUST ME! I am very far from that point but I would like to get there. I want to see a happy world!

I pray that this touches someone. Freddy and I are really seeking God to help us with this because we want to make a change! I hope there are more of you doing the same. May God richly bless you all!!
