Living in Increase (Part 5) - Increase in FaithUzorak

Say to the Mountain

There was a time in my life when I had to say to the mountain of fear, “Be lifted up and thrown into the sea.” For many years, I had a fear of heights. In my late twenties, I worked as a painter at an Elevator company. However, I eventually became an Elevator technician, which meant working at heights, often several hundred feet above the ground–and I was afraid of heights!

Through prayer and courage, I eventually found myself saying to my fear of heights, “Be thou removed and be cast into the sea.” Working at heights on top of elevators became second nature for me. I still have a certain level of caution and respect for heights, but that mountain has been removed from my life by the grace of God.

There will be mountains (hindrances) that we must face to grow, but with each mountain we face, there will be a way to remove it if we have faith!

Action Step: Face your mountain! Seek God through prayer and His Word, then seek the assistance of friends, a pastor, or a professional in the area where you need help.
