  Speak to Your Mountain

  

Does God do miracles in business? Is he concerned about the mountains we face in our life? Does he want us to bring the everyday problems we face in the workplace to his attention? The answer to every one of these questions is yes. God wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives.

Gunnar Olson, the Swedish founder of the International Christian Chamber of Commerce, tells a story about God performing a miracle in his own business several years ago. He was founder of a plastics company in Sweden. They made huge plastic bags that were used to cover bales of hay in the farmlands across Europe. It was the harvest season, and they were getting ready to ship thousands of pallets of these bags to their customers. More than one thousand pallets were ready to ship when they made an alarming discovery. Every bag on the warehouse floor had sealed shut from top to bottom. Scientists declared the entire stock as worthless trash. Nothing could be done. The company would go out of business.

Gunnar, his wife, and children sought the Lord in prayer about this catastrophe. The Holy Spirit spoke through various family members. The wife said, “If God can turn water into wine, what are plastics?” The daughter said, “I don’t believe this is from the Lord. We should stand against it.” Gunnar sensed they were to trust God for a miracle in this situation. They began to pray. They took authority over this mountain of a problem based on Mark 11, which gave them the authority to cast a mountain into the sea if faith only the size of a mustard seed could be exercised.

On Sunday night, Gunnar stood outside his plant and said, “Listen heaven, listen earth, who is the Lord over Alphapac? It’s Jesus. I now command all the bags to rotate back to their original place!” He and his family went inside the warehouse and laid hands on every pallet, asking the Lord to restore the bags to their original condition. It took several hours. On Monday, the employees began to inspect the bags again. As they inspected the bags, they discovered that every single bag had been restored to its original condition! An incredible miracle had taken place. The inspectors who discovered the original problem returned to validate that a miracle had taken place.

Do you need a miracle in your life today?
