Once again I want to welcome the new subscribers to my ezine. I will try to send you worthwhile articles that will challenge you to Proclaim God’s faithfulness in your daily life.
Today I was reminded while I was praying for my particular “mountain” this morning that I was unable to do anything about it, but I pray to a mighty Lord who is able to move mountains of any size or shape.
Matthew 17:19-20 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
So I will put my mustard grain of faith in the Lord and watch HIM move mountains.

Soon orders came for more copies, and eventually 40 million reprints of that article were distributed around the world. This is a powerful testimony to the worldwide recognition of the importance of diligence.
When war broke out between Spain and the United States, it was necessary to communicate quickly with the leader of the insurgence. Garcia was somewhere in the mountain vastness of Cuba—no one knew where. No mail or telegraph message could reach him. The President must secure his cooperation, and quickly. What to do?!
Someone said to the President, “There’s a fellow by the name of Rowan who will find Garcia for you, if anybody can.” Rowan was sent for and given a letter to be delivered to Garcia.
How “the fellow by the name of Rowan” took the letter, sealed it up in an oilskin pouch, strapped it over his heart, Read More…
I hope you have found this article helpful in your daily walk.
