Go, throw yourself in the sea

Go, throw yourself in the sea

Have faith in God “Jesus answered” I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain “Go throw yourself in the sea” but does not doubt in his heart but believes what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours. Mark 11:22-24

There is a Great Mountain on our country, a great and terrible mountain. And millions are trapped under that mountain, in darkness, in frustration, in chains. The Mountain blocks them from the light under the false pretense of protecting them. They have no opportunity to hear the good news. Their ears have been shut, their eyes have been covered. They are systematically cut off from the truth that would reach them, and generation after generation, they are destined to follow the paths of their fathers, trapped in the mountain, suppressed, and in darkness.

There are many of us who live free around this Mountain. Perhaps it is only because we are born of a different color that we are free, free to choose whom we will worship, free to choose whom we will love.

The Great Mountain has made a pact with us. Leave my people alone, and you can carry on your own lives peacefully, conduct your own worship, do your own thing. Violate this, and we will put you under the Mountain too, and take away your freedom. Therefore, we, of the Christian faith respect that, and we call it submitting to the authorities. We accept the tyranny on another race, and the deprivation of religious freedom that they endure.

Over time, over generations, we have come to accept that as the way of life, as the way things are, and cannot be changed. Instead, we are becoming increasingly focused on the deprivation of our rights in other areas. We detest the special privileges that the other race receives at our expense. We are so concerned with unfairness and discrimination against us. Many of us even leave the country completely in indignation and anger. Yet, we have perhaps forgotten, or even failed to realize that for all the privileges they receive, they have been denied the most important privilege of all that will determine their eternal destiny – the privilege of choosing Christ and being saved.

Therefore, instead of being so concerned about our rights, should we not be far more concerned about the salvation of their millions. Wouldn’t that be the very thing that our Lord Jesus would be far more interested in? Did He not also die for them?

Brothers and sisters, let us shake off our self-seeking, inward-looking, fearful mindset, but let us put on the mind of Christ, and be Kingdom-focused.

You may ask, what can I do? This Mountain is so great and huge? My friend, the Word of God says you can make it go and throw itself into the sea. What if every Christian in our beloved country were to wake up every morning, look at this Mountain, and say “In Jesus name, Go throw yourself in the sea”? I believe that if more and more of us stand up and believe and pray, this mountain cannot stand, no matter how great and powerful it seems.

Friends, I believe God really calls to us, love this people as I love them. Get rid of this Mountain. Set your country free that all may worship Me!
