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 says shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he says [Mark 11:23, Matthew 21:21, Matthew 17:20, Luke 17:6].
"You will say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you" -Matthew 17:20
Are you praying to God, instead of speaking to the "mountain"? The Mountain is your problem. The mountain is anything that is a barrier to you completing God's Will. The mountain is anything that is adverse or contrary to the Word of God for your life. IF you don't speak to your mountain, your mountain will speak to you.
Prayer and fasting will move you into a more confident [faithful] position to speak to the mountain
Jesus didn't tell us to ignore or deny the mountain. Jesus didn't say to have a positive attitude. Jesus said to speak to the mountain.
Jesus promises "it will move" [Matthew 17:20], "it will be done" [Matthew 21:21], it "shall come to pass" [Mark 11:23], and it will "obey you" [Luke 17:6].
When faith is produced in the heart, then the mouth will speak. Faith has something to say.
Romans 10:10 2 Corinthians 4:13
Jesus says that it is the believer's responsibility to speak to the mountain. Are you doing what Jesus instructed you to do?
Faith involves you placing confidence in God's spoken word and responding to it.
Great faith in God is demonstrated by understanding the relationship between the spoken word and authority.
Luke 7:7
But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed".
Matthew 8:7-11
A believer is more than one who merely agrees that the Word is true. A believer acts on the Word of God.
You exhibit faith when you speak to things instead of asking God to speak for you.
Why do so many people believe the "whosoever clause" of John 3:16, but not the "whosoever clause" of Mark 11:23?

What is a mountain in a believer's life? The mountain is the problem in your life. A mountain is anything that is a barrier to you completing God's Will. A mountain is anything that is slowing down or impeding your progress in the Kingdom of God.
I have come to realized the error of our ways Christians we spend time praying to God about our mountain. We describe the mountain in full detail to The LORD. We inform The LORD of the exact dimensions of the mountain.We cry,bicker, murmur and moan to THE LORD about what a hindrance or impossibility the mountain is in our life.
Some of us even use the "mountain" as an excuse for nonperformance in our Christian life. Some of us make up doctrines and traditions about God, to justify why the mountain is still in our life.
Many of we Christians will pray to The LORD for Him to speak to their mountain. The LORD will never do what He has through The Lord Jesus Christ commanded us to do. We pray to The LORD to receive what Jesus has made available to us [Mark 11:24].But we have failed to UNDERSTAND it is our responsibility to speak to the mountain in your life.
Praying and fasting will not move a mountain. Prayer and fasting deals with unbelief or lack of confidence in God's Word [Matthew 17:20-21, Mark 9:28-29, Mark 16:14, Luke 8:25, Mark 4:39-41, Matthew 8:24, Matthew 16:8, Mark 8:15, Matthew 14:30].
Many people get into natural unbelief by what they see, hear, touch, smell, taste or even feel. You must not allow natural unbelief to be a counter weight to faith [Matthew 17:20]. Your spirit man must not be dominated by your unregenerated fallen flesh [Romans 5:5-8, Galatians 5:16, Ephesians 4:22-24, Colossians 3:9]. You must sow to the Spirit and reap life [Galatians 6:7].
Prayer is about your relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Prayer will increase your confidence about your relationship with God. Prayer is how you receive from God [Matthew 7:8, Matthew 21:22, Mark 11:24, John 16:23-24, Matthew 26:41].
Fasting food doesn't move God, it moves you. Fasting food takes you out of the natural realm and helps you to be sensitive to the spiritual realm of God. Fasting forces your flesh to submit to your spirit man. God becomes your total source. You live by the Word of God alone [Matthew 4:3-4]. Fasting retrains or disciplines your body to listen to your spirit man. You tell your body to line up with the Word of God and it obeys you. Your spirit man dominates your body or fallen flesh. Prayer does the same thing. Prayer disciplines your flesh to submit to your spiritual man. You pray to God, who you can not see, hear, taste, smell, and touch [Matthew 6:9, John 20:28]. Prayer trains your flesh to submit to your spiritual man. Pray and fasting are spiritual disciplines.
Prayer and fasting [Matthew 17:21, Mark 9:29] will move you into a more confident [faithful] position to speak to the mountain [Matthew 17:21, Matthew 21:21, Mark 11:23].
Jesus didn't tell us to pray to God about our mountain. He said for us to speak to the mountain; speak to the mountain in His Name.Jesus didn't tell us to ignore or deny the mountain or problem. We are not to say, "I don't have a mountain" or "what problem?" We are not to practice positive thinking and say over and over; "I can climb over that mountain, I will go around that mountain, it want stop me". Don't get me wrong here a positive attitude is always good. I am trying to FOCUS US ALL here in these times we are living as Obama fulfills prophecy as "The" Raiser of Taxes (1/1/2013). FOCUS! A positive attitude is not what Jesus said to do with mountains. Jesus said to speak to the mountain or problem and tell it to be moved [Mark 11:23, Matthew 21:21].
Jesus said that any believer can tell a mountain, "You be lifted up and thrown into the sea", or "Go, throw yourself into the sea" , or "Go jump in the lake -no shuffling or shilly-shallying-and it's as good as done" [Message].
Jesus says, "if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you" [Matthew 17:20]. A believer [not a doubter], can say to the mountain [problem] be moved to some other dimension that I don't inhabit.
Jesus gives instructions concerning the mountain or problem
It is the believer's responsibility to:If you don't speak to your mountain, your mountain will speak to you.
Jesus promises "it will be done" [Matthew 21:21], it "shall come to pass" [Mark 11:23], it (the mountain: note on a deeper level The Kenite Nation) will "obey you" [Luke 17:6], and "it will move" [Matthew 17:20]. Jesus says that it is the believer's responsibility to speak to the mountain.
- to believe that you receive when you pray [Mark 11:24, Matthew 21:21]
- to speak to the mountain or problem you have; rebuke, give directions to the problem, and cast out the problem from your body, circumstance, or environment [Mark 11:23, Matthew 21:21, Matthew 17:20, Luke 17:6, Mark 16:17, Luke 11:20, Matthew 12:28].
- to say what you want to come to pass, into existence [ginomai] [Mark 11:23]. It shall be done [ginomai], according to God's Word [Matthew 21:21]. O woman, great is your faith! Let it be [ginomai] to you as you desire [Matthew 15:28]. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, be it done unto thee [ginomai] [Matthew 8:13].
I am reminded at this moment of Moses being sent to SPEAK to Pharoah.
Authority and "The Whosoever" Clause
Great faith in God is demonstrated by understanding the relationship between the spoken word and authority ( ref: 2John2). The Roman centurion demonstrated understanding of this principle by saying to Jesus;"I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. I say to this man, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it" [Matthew 8:9]. The centurion then said, "but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed" [Luke 7:7].Jesus was amazed at the centurion's grasp of the concept of authority in relationship to the Law of Faith [Romans 3:27]. The centurion only needed Jesus' word to receive healing for his servant. Many Christians do not understand their God given authority through Jesus Christ. The scripture says that Jesus was amazed, astonished, or marveled. Look at Jesus' response to the Roman Centurion's statement, "Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel" [Matthew 8:10, Luke 7:7].
Earlier today I was reading Galations 5:15 and I got chills like I have never gotten before in my life. My ears turned blood red and I felt the Holy Spirit strong. I had just left reading 2 John 1 The ELECT LADY and HER Children....LOVE ONE ANOTHER, and then was led to read Galations 5:15. But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not CONSUMED by one another.
THIS IS WHERE THE LORD TOOK ME TO A VISION....(believe me or not but I share either way)....We are soooooooooooo REPULSED by the ZOMBIE PICTURES and the "crazed" ones eating the flesh of one another. But what the Lord showed me and I LITERALLY CRIED AFTERWARDS is .....ALL OF US are just like that in his sight as we bicker, and bite one another CONSUMING one another "spirtually" WE ARE in SPIRITUAL CANNIBALISM. We are to be "walking in the Spirit Body" having IT override The Flesh....then so now lets examine Galatians 5:15 in detail and compare it to the AUTHORITY "discovered" in 2John1.
Galatians 5:15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not CONSUMED by one another.
But if ye bite and devour one another
Another reason inducing to love is taken from the pernicious consequences of a contrary spirit and conduct. The allusion is to beasts of prey falling upon and devouring one another: for wolves or dogs to worry sheep is not strange; but for sheep to distress one another is unnatural. The apostle does not say, if grievous wolves should enter in among you and not spare the flock; but suggests if they themselves should act the part of wolves to one another; having reference to their controversies about the law and circumcision, and the necessity thereof to justification and salvation; which were managed with great heat and bitterness, occasioned great contentions, and threatened them with divisions, parties, and factions; and were attended with envy and malice, with reproachful words, biting sarcasms, scandalous invectives, and injurious actions, which must be of bad consequence: hence he adds,

take heed that ye be not consumed one of another;
that is, either beware lest each other's particular peace and comfort be destroyed, which is oftentimes done this way, though a person's state and condition God-ward may be safe; or lest their church state should be destroyed and come to nothing, since love is the cement of it, which being loosened, threatens a dissolution; for as no civil community, either public or private, divided against itself, can stand long, so no religious one; and for want of love the Lord threatens to remove, and sometimes does remove, the candlestick out of its place.

2 John 1
1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth (sin), and abideth (rest, sabbath) not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

Authority is exhibited by speaking. You speak to persons or things that you have authority over. You don't ask or plead; you direct and require. You exhibit faith when you speak to things instead of asking God to speak for you. When you speak instead of asking, you demonstrate an understanding of God's Word. You can't walk with God unless you agree with His Word [Amos 3:3]. Faith involves you placing confidence in God's spoken word and responding to it. The God-like faith will demonstrate itself by speaking and trusting God's word [Faith of God]. You will show an understanding of God's divine order, will, and authority when you place trust in God's spoken word and respond.
Jesus gave the twelve authority to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out devils [Matthew 10:1, 10:8, Matthew 16:18-19, Luke 9:1, Supernatural Acts of the Disciples]. Jesus gave the seventy authority in [Luke 10:1, 10:9, Luke 10:19]. Jesus has given you authority with the whosoever clause of Mark 11:23. Today, we already have Jesus' word on the matter of healing. Jesus says if you are a believer and not a doubter; if you believe that those things you say will be done; then he says you can have whatever you say. Why do so many people believe the "whosoever clause" of John 3:16, but not the "whosoever clause" of Mark 11:23?
You demonstrate faith when you speak according to God's Word, instead of:
- Praying and asking God to speak for you.
- Praying and asking God to send someone else to speak for you.
Here are more references of "whosoever" scriptures given by Jesus Christ [Mark 11:23, John 3:15-16, John 4:14, John 11:26, John 12:46].
What Will You Do With the Mountain?
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith-pistis in God. 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-diakrino in his heart, but shall believe-pisteuo, that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith [Mark 11:22-23 ]- I will speak to the mountain (problem) and direct it to be removed [Mark 11:23]. I will speak to the mountain (problem) before the mountain speaks to me. I will use the God-like faith that speaks to the mountain to be removed, because faith has something to say [2 Corinthians 4:13]. I refuse to be faithless or doubt and talk about the mountain.
- I will speak the life giving, spiritual words of Jesus [John 6:63]. My tongue will speak life and not death [Proverbs 18:21]. I will sow to the Spirit and shall of the Spirit reap life [Galatians 6:8]. I will confess [homologeo-Romans 10:9] what God says about my situation. My words are the working, productive [energeĊ] Word of God [James 5:16]. Jesus said by my words, I will be justified and by my words I will be condemned. I will not allow my mouth to utter idle [argos] lazy, free from labor, not working words. I will use the Word of God with my mouth. My heart overflows with faith and my mouth speaks faith [Matthew 12:34-37].
- I will use my authority by "speaking" to any problem that is stopping God's will in my life [Luke 10:19].
- I do not ask or beg, but I will require and demand God's will to be accomplished for anything that I have authority over [Mark 16:17].
- I will not doubt-diakrino God's Word in my mind and cause my heart to doubt. I will recognize when I am divided or make a separation in my thoughts from the Word of God. I will not be like a wave in the sea going back and forth in my mind from confidence to no confidence in God's Word. I realize according to James 1:6, that you will not receive anything from God if you are wavering [doubting]. I will not be unstable in my ways. I am established and encouraged in faith [1 Thessalonians 3:2]. I will eliminate doubt by renewing my mind [Revelation 12:2].
- I will bring a good treasure of faith from my heart [Matthew 12:34-37]. Faith needs a heart and a mouth to work. I see that in [Romans 10:10] "For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." I will obtain a "good report" by my faith. God is pleased with me because I have faith in Him and His Word [Hebrews 11:2, 6]. Jesus will find faith in my life when he returns [Luke 18:8].
- It will be the things I say according to [Mark 11:23]. I will say what I want to "come to pass" by the Word of God. I will only say what I want to "come to pass, to become, to come into existence [ginomai-Mark 11:23]. I am not saying what I don't want to come to pass. I refuse to frame my world with doubtful, unbelieving, careless, or useless words [Hebrews 11:3]. According to Mark 11:23, I will have whatever I say.
- When I pray to God I will receive because faith receives when it prays [Mark 11:24]. I will not pray and ask God to do for me, what I have the authority and ability to do for myself.

What Do You Want to Come to Pass?
When Does Faith Receive?
Faith Confessions
- I believe the "whosoever clause" of John 3:16 and the "whosoever clause" of Mark 11:23.
- I am a "whosoever", so I can speak to the mountain [problem/barrier to my receiving or doing God's Will for my life] and tell it to be removed and be cast in the sea [some dimension that I do not occupy].Now thats POWER to MOVE Heaven and Earth. Remember God shakes up the earth AND Heaven AND "shakes up the people". I do not think there is any doubt that we are presently in one of those shaking times, and have been for several years. We have entered into one of those perilous times when all that we would normally have counted as strong and steady is being shaken and overthrown.
- I say what I want to "come to pass" by the Word of God. I will only say what I want to "come to pass", to become, to come into existence, or begin to be [ginomai-Mark 11:23].
- I will not be divided in my mind. I will not go from confidence in the Word of God to no confidence. I will not be like a wave in the sea going back and forth in my mind. I realize according to James 1:6, that I will not receive anything from God if I am wavering.
- I will eliminate doubt by renewing my mind according to the Word of God [Romans 12:2]. (which requires that I get out of the Media Spin)
- I have what I say because I am a believer and not a doubter.
In Matthew 21:21-22, Jesus says if you have pure faith [no mixture of unbelief or doubt], you can speak to any non-productive living thing in your life, to wither and die.
According to Jesus if you are a whosoever who has faith, and doubts not then, "you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say unto this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; it shall be done" [Matthew 21:21-22].
- In Matthew 21:21, Jesus allows me a believing "whosoever" to speak to fig trees and mountains.
- I can say to any non-fruitful thing that I encounter in my life, "Let no fruit grow on you ever again, because I do the same works that Jesus did [Matthew 21:19, Mark 11:14, John 14:12].
- Jesus promises that if I am a believer and not a doubter that what I say it will happen, "it shall be done", and "it shall come to pass" [ginomai-Matthew 21:21].
- I will not pray and ask God to do for me, what I have the authority and ability to do for myself.
- I use my authority by "speaking" to any barrier or any demonic activity that is stopping God's will [Luke 10:19].
- I do not ask or beg, but I require and demand God's will to be done for what I have authority over [Mark 16:17, Ephesians 6:12, 2 Corinthians 10:2].
As long as these KENITE JEWS can keep us "distracted" in our self-righteousnous, in our one-upmanship,our name-calling and kicking against the pricks of THE PLAN OF THE DAY in our KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM...but hath NOT LOVE...then we are like smoke in his nostrils...just as much an ABOMINATION, as We who are soooooooooo Holy look upon the FLESH sins of homosexuality, and whatever "flavor" of "falling short of the glory of God that WE detest....and don't remove the BEAM from our own eyes, and LEARN TO LOVE......"(and before any holy rollers come uoting scripture to me about GOD ALSO HATES Homosexuality....THE POINT I AM MAKING is WE who DO KNOW BETTER but aren't ACTING OUT IN LOVE are wrong and WE break God's HEART MORE because WE should know better )
LOVE IS THE KEY here. It is easy to LOVE ONE OF OUR OWN....be it one of our own FLESH Children or Family member, thats easy but going from HATE to Love...that takes some SOUL SEARCHING, and some repentance on our OWN ground. It is easy to LOVE FAMILY and a Brother (those born of the WOMB of Israel). Yet... THE WORD said that the sum ALL commandments is THIS....To LOVE thy neighbor as thyself. A neighbor ISN"T "born of the womb of Israel". The Lord IS about to DELIVER HIS PEOPLE (and its closer than one might think)... take up "spiritual arms" against these TRUE KENITE "offspring of Cain whose father is Satan" JEWS and those "who CLAIM to be of OUR BROTHER Judah but do LIE, and those who by taking up residence in JERUSALEM "claim to be JEWS" but do lie. The LORD can't move because OUR PEOPLE won't LOVE....its LOVE that moves a MOUNTAIN....and that MOUNTAIN is Satan and HIS Seed (THAT NATION) from our shores, Remember....it is written Speak to The Mountain.

As you all study it I want you to consider "laying in wait" PERMISSION as "the stock of abraham" and SPEAKING TO THE MOUNTAIN (the Kenite Nation) and read the sneaky means by which the infiltratin first took place....Through SUBTLEITY "they" mixed in amongst us. BUT SPEAK TO THE MOUNTAIN.....It might be a bit deep (as I have a tendency to do) but it is the times....USURY is a CRIME....
I am not saying that lending and borrowing is BAD INVESTMENT, I am saying that USURY is A CRIME (it oppresses the poor and MERCY demands it be expulsed), and you never charge INTEREST to a brother (one born o f the womb of Isarel)...and that is the demise off ourNation and the very reason all through-out History the Jews (Kenites) have been expelled from all other Nations...since 1492 they just layed in wait Hidden "as the stock of Abraham" and actually IN PERMISSION from a letter to President Washington ...(dealing in unfair trade and got rich) up until the final take over of control in 1913 and to the bankrupcy of US in 1933....read the letter to George Wasington and his reply and pay CLOSE ATTENTION to the subtlety of THE KENITE.
Moses Seixas' Letter to Geroge Washingto n August 17th, 1790
Sir:
Permit the children of the stock of Abraham to approach you with the most
cordial affection and esteem for your person and merits -- and to join with our fellow citizens in welcoming you to Newport.
With pleasure we reflect on those days -- those days of difficulty, and danger, when the God of Israel, who delivered David from the peril of the sword -- shielded Your head in the day of battle: and we rejoice to think, that the same Spirit, who rested in the Bosom of the greatly beloved Daniel enabling him to preside over the Provinces of the Babylonish Empire, rests and ever will rest, upon you, enabling you to discharge the arduous duties of Chief Magistrate in these States.
Deprived as we heretofore have been of the invaluable rights of free Citizens, we now with a deep sense of gratitude to the Almighty disposer of all events behold a Government, erected by the Majesty of the People -- a Government, which to bigotry gives no sanction, to persecution no assistance -- but generously affording to all Liberty of conscience, and immunities of Citizenship: deeming every one, of whatever Nation, tongue, or language equal parts of the great governmental Machine:
This so ample and extensive Federal Union whose basis is Philanthropy, Mutual confidence and Public Virtue, we cannot but acknowledge to be the work of the Great God, who ruleth in the Armies of Heaven, and among the Inhabitants of the Earth, doing whatever seemeth him good.
For all these Blessings of civil and religious liberty which we enjoy under an equal benign administration, we desire to send up our thanks to the Ancient of Days, the great preserver of Men beseeching him, that the Angel who conducted our forefathers through the wilderness into the promised Land, may graciously conduct you through all the difficulties and dangers of this mortal life: And, when, like Joshua full of days and full of honour, you are gathered to your Fathers, may you be admitted into the Heavenly Paradise to partake of the water of life, and the tree of immortality.
Done and Signed by order of the Hebrew Congregation in NewPort, Rhode Island August 17th 1790.

AND THE DECEIVED REPLY By President Washington GIVING PERMISSION....
George Washington's Response to Moses Seixas
August 21st, 1790
To the Hebrew Congregation in Newport Rhode Island.
Gentleman.
While I receive, with much satisfaction, your Address replete with expressions of affection and esteem; I rejoice in the opportunity of assuring you, that I shall always retain a grateful remembrance of the cordial welcome I experienced in my visit to Newport, from all classes of Citizens.
The reflection on the days of difficulty and danger which are past is rendered the more sweet, from a consciousness that they are succeeded by days of uncommon prosperity and security. If we have wisdom to make the best use of the advantages with which we are now favored, we cannot fail, under the just administration of a good Government, to become a great and happy people.
The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.
It would be inconsistent with the frankness of my character not to avow that I am pleased with your favorable opinion of my Administration, and fervent wishes for my felicity. May the children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. May the father of all mercies scatter light and not darkness in our paths, and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in his own due time and way everlastingly happy.
G. Washington
Tee, I KNOW that the power of the most high is upon you...I sense the Spirit when I read your words, the unction of the Spirit groaning to focus our energies, our hearts bound together as one, and a whisper in the midst of the silence between voices yelling AT one another. May our be renewed in ONE FAITH, and DO The Bidding of The Father....I hear you, and I hear Him THROUGH you. Thank you for ALL that you do to help Him reach us. He is Judge. He definitely uses your heart. I feel your love pouring out towards us. Keep moving forward. Keep holding the plump-bob of Truth.
