We are instructed to speak directly to the mountain, telling it to pick itself up and throw itself into the sea. Authoritative prayer is not asking God to do something, but using God's authority to deal directly with the problem, to get rid of all that needs to be gotten rid of. Christianity is our way of life. It is the road we travel while on earth.
Mountains represent any difficulties which stand in our way.
Mountains are obstacles which block our paths so that we cannot get through. Anything that prevents our reaching spiritual maturity is a mountain. Obstacles that prevent assemblies becoming what God wants them to be are mountains. This type of prayer must be learned by all who would be effective Christian workers. Whatever blocks us in our spiritual course is something that we may command to depart from us.
