I want you to be the strongest believers anyway in the world: people with fire, people with power, people who pray, people who will change the world! Mark 11:22-23 is so revolutionary, so powerful, it will change your life! Jesus said, "Have faith in God! Truly I say unto you, whoever you are, look up, see the mountain over there - if you have got faith in God, you will say to that mountain 'be cast down into the sea' and if you don't doubt in your heart but believe that what you say will happen, you shall have whatever you say!" If you really believe what you say, you will speak and the mountain will move! Whatever you say, if you speak with faith and authority, and don't doubt, you will be healed, your family will be blessed, your financial burden will move - even if those things are mountains in your life!

God was calling Moses, ‘I want you to go to Pharaoh and tell him, “Let My people go”. Just do it.’ Please understand – Moses was a human being, no different from you. Alright, he was born into a humble family but adopted by a woman of wealth, and then he had some problems and now is living in relative poverty out in the desert, with a family and responsibilities like you, so he’s human! And he argued with God, ‘Look, when I talk to my own people, let alone Pharaoh, they won’t listen to me!’ (Exodus 4:1).

How did God convince Moses?

God’s answer was very simple, ‘What is it you have got in your hand?’ God took the ordinary common thing Moses had in his hand, his shepherd’s rod, and used that as the demonstration.

One of the battles God has is to get our attention, and with Moses God had to do something extraordinary: Moses was looking after the sheep – he had got himself married, had some kids and was busy, tied up with all the problems that you have, working hard to get enough money to feed his growing family. When suddenly, out in the desert, God appeared to him in a burning bush. What attracted Moses was not that the bush was on fire but that the fire didn’t burn it. There is a time when the fire of God will burn up the impurities in your life – but when He starts to put the fire into you, He does not want to destroy you, He wants to use the real you! God knows who you are. Sometimes when I am having problems, and I have to say – like Paul – ‘Lord, I am sorry, I should have done this and I shouldn’t have done that,’ and when I am trying to make excuses and say, ‘I’m not perfect, I can’t do this, and Lord, you know the problems I have in my life,’ God says, ‘Look, I knew you before you were born, I made you and it’s about time you understood I made you, just as you are, for a purpose.’
