Devotion for “Mountain Mover”

(Matthew 17:20)

Scriptural Foundation:

      • Matthew 17:20
      • Hebrews 11:1-3
      • James 2:17-18
      • Isaiah 54:10

Reflection:

“Mountain Mover” is a song that highlights the transformative power of faith, even as small as a mustard seed, to move mountains. Matthew 17:20 not only speaks of the potency of faith but also implies the partnership between our faith and God’s power.

For intercessors, this scripture is a call to believe in the supernatural intervention of God in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It challenges us to see beyond the physical to the potential of what can be achieved through prayer and faith.

Hebrews 11:1-3 provides a broader understanding of faith, defining it as confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This definition is vital for intercessors, as it underpins the essence of intercessory prayer – praying with conviction for outcomes yet unseen.

James 2:17-18 reminds us that faith is demonstrated through action. As intercessors, our prayers are actions of faith, actively participating in God’s work in the world.

Isaiah 54:10, with its emphasis on the enduring nature of God’s covenant of peace, can be a comforting assurance for intercessors, especially when praying over tumultuous situations or ‘mountains’ in the world.

Application:

Reflect on the ‘mountains’ in your life or the lives of those you intercede for. Spend time in prayer, declaring your faith that these mountains can and will be moved. Let your prayers be filled with the confidence of Hebrews 11:1-3, trusting in God’s promises and power. Seek to actively demonstrate your faith in practical ways, as a response to what you are praying for.

Prayer:

“Lord, I believe in Your mighty power to move mountains. Increase my faith to trust in Your sovereignty over every challenging situation. May my prayers reflect a firm belief in Your ability to transform, heal, and restore. Teach me to act in faith, as a living testament to Your promises. Amen.”

This devotion is intended to bolster faith and encourage dynamic and faith-filled intercession. Adjustments can be made to cater to the unique perspectives and spiritual insights of your intercessory group.

Lyrics

Mountain Mover

(Matthew 17:20)

Verse 1

In the shadows of towering doubts,
Your voice, O Lord, a whisper loud.
Faith as small as a mustard seed,
In Your grace, we find all we need.

Chorus

Mountain Mover, Miracle Worker,
In Your name, the impossible surrenders.
With faith unshaken, in Your power, we believe,
Mountain Mover, in Your grace, we achieve.

Verse 2

Before the mountains of this world’s domain,
In prayer, we stand, in Your strength, we remain.
Influence and change, in Your hands they lay,
With every prayer, we see Your way.

Bridge

For the mountains of government, the peaks of finance too,
In arts and education, Your grace breaks through.
In family, in religion, in the media light,
In every mountain, Your grace shines bright.

Chorus

Mountain Mover, Miracle Worker,
In Your name, the impossible surrenders.
With faith unshaken, in Your power, we believe,
Mountain Mover, in Your grace, we achieve.

Outro

In every challenge, in each towering task,
In Your grace, O Lord, we bask.
Mountain Mover, in faith we stand,
In Your love, on solid land.
