In Deuteronomy 2:3 God told the people of Israel that it was time to turn their attention northward because they had spent too much time go around the same mountain. Ironically in the book of Matthew 17:20, Jesus declared that if we have the faith the size of a mustard seed we can speak to the mountain be thou removed and it shall be moved and NOTHING shall be impossible to us! So which one is it? Do we speak to it or change direction and move away from it?
The answer is not profound: it all depends. Jesus didn't speak to every mountain, but He did declare if we have the faith we can move mountains; but God said stop going around this mountain, change direction and go northward. What does this mean for us today? Well the truth is we must be Spirit lead. The Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit leads us and guides us into ALL truth which means He will tell us ultimately what mountains to speak to and what mountains to walk away from.
We must take comfort in knowing that some battles God does not want us to fight and it has nothing to do with believing God for it; the problem is sometimes God just won't move the mountain because it's not within His plan and not His will for our lives; and because our nature is to want what we want when we want we'll be just like the Israelites speaking to the mountain over and over again when God is saying change direction.
In short we must be willing to be sensitive to the voice of God so that we will move mountains by faith and see the promises of God because we are following His lead. Waste no more time walking according to your own fleshly desires but walk according to the Spirit and you will never go wrong!
To speak or not to speak, may be the question, but the answer is always follow the Spirit!
