Sermon Overview
Reidhead interprets Mark 11:22 as "Have the faith of God," or a faith that operates on God's own level of certainty. He argues that true faith is not "trying to believe" but "resting in Who God is." By focusing on the attributes of God—His faithfulness, power, and love—the believer finds the strength to "speak to mountains" and trust God for the impossible.
Key Principles
Immutable Character:Anchor your trust in who God is (His nature) rather than in the "results" you desire.
Faith in Him: Stop trying to "feel" faith; instead, focus on the absolute reliability and truthfulness of God.
Ability/Availability:Rest in the fact that God is both capable of the miracle and present to perform it.
Response to Word:Treat faith as a "legal response" to God’s specific promises, not a blind wish.
Beholding the Lord:Fight doubt by staring at the "attributes of God" rather than staring at your problems.
Mountain-Moving Power: Speak to the "mountains" in your life only after you have fully surrendered your heart to the King.
Fruit of Spirit: Allow the Spirit to "grow" faith in you as you abide in the Vine, rather than working it up.
Visible vs. Promise:Choose to believe the "Word" you have heard over the "evidence" you see with your eyes.
