Weekly Watch Focus: Move that Mountain
Friday, Sept 6, 2013 After administering a mighty deliverance, Jesus instructed His disciples on faith that moves mountains. He ended by urging prayer and fasting as a key in achieving this. We are in the second week of a corporate fast. We are releasing our faith to believe for each person, family, and church. We are praying for mountains to move in our lives. We bind satanic strongholds that would hinder revival, restoration, healing, and provision. Let us speak to our mountains.
As Israel celebrates Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, we ask for fresh seasons of restoration for God’s people.
As America marks the twelfth anniversary of 9/11, let us honor those who died, remembering their families. May we not forget the lessons we learned. May God, in His mercy, shield us and our allies against terrorism.
Matt 17:19-21, “Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, ‘Why could we not cast it out?’ So Jesus said to them, ‘Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.’”
Mark 11:23, “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”
Luke 18:27, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
John 10:10, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Ezra 8:21 “Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions.”

Our watch focus this week is for a HEDGE OF PROTECTION for America, Israel, and the nations. Our prayer strategy comes from Psalm 91: “A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you” (Psalm 91:7).
