Let the Mountains Move

Some of my current favorite lyrics are from a song called Waiting Here for You by Christy Nockles. She sings, "If faith can move the mountains, let the mountains move. We come with expectations, waiting here for You." I just think that's so powerful. Jesus says in Matthew 17:20 that if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can tell a mountain to move and it will move. These lyrics, to me, are proclaiming, "Lord, I have faith in You. I'm trusting that You will do big things. I'm expecting big things from You, so let the mountains move." That's a bold request, but we serve the God that created the universe and breathed life into us. Why shouldn't we expect big things?

I say all of that to kind of give a little background for what happened on campus yesterday. I partnered up with Chris for the day and we decided to split up and have some time with the Lord to start the day off on the right foot. To begin my time, I listened to Waiting Here for You and then went on to read in Psalms. After that, I was just praying for campus and was inspired by the song and Jesus' words in Matthew, so I prayed a bold prayer that we would see someone come to know Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Chris and I go through the rest of the day and have a few good conversations with students at the Fashion Institute of Technology, but we don't see anyone start a relationship with the Lord. I just trusted that our conversations planted or helped water seeds.

We go back to the office for team debriefing, where we talk about how our day went, things the Lord is teaching us, etc. Two people talk about how they had met this girl last week and got a chance to catch up with her again this week. They were able to share the Gospel with her and she accepted Christ! I was so excited. We have a new sister in Christ that we may never meet on earth, but we'll spend an eternity with her in Heaven. That's SUCH a cool thought!

A few other people share about their day when it finally hits me. I prayed for that girl! The mountains moved! I can't describe how incredible that experience was, but it really showed me the power of prayer. So! Here's my challenge to you: pray for the Lord to move mountains. Pray for this City. Pray for your friends, your coworkers, your own self. Just pray and see what God does.
