For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and
be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things
which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Mark 11:23
Problem in Zululand
by Philip C Jones
Vicki Heymann
Vicki Heymann had a problem living in Zululand, Natal, South Africa. She had to deal with the
flood rains that would make it difficult for her truck lacking four wheel drive to take her children
to their school bus stop. She lived high upon a mountain and when it rained it made it hard to
keep her truck from getting stuck in the mud going down the incline of the slippery gravel road to
the bus stop at the bottom of the mountain. Her husband couldn't take the children to their
school bus stop because he went to work too early.
One day here spiritual eyes were opened. She found out about her authority in Christ. She
learned in Genesis 1:26-28 that God gave man authority to rule the earth.
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth" (Genesis 1:26).
But unfortunately, man sinned in the Garden of Eden and forfeited his authority over to his
enemy, Satan.
"And the devil, taking him (Jesus) up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms
of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power (authority) will I give
thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will give it" (Luke
4:5,6).
The good news is that with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Satan was defeated and
Jesus Christ restored back to man the authority originally belonging to him. God's people, His
Church, now have authority in the earth.
So, with that understanding of her new found authority, Vicki walked out unto her veranda and
commanded the rain to stop. But it didn't stop, but kept raining. She commanded the clouds to
hold their water. "Nothing happened. It kept on raining!"
She did this for a number of days, praying and sliding down the road to the children's bus stop.
Then the light went on. She realized she had been trying to get the rain to stop and not believing
for it to stop. Trying God's Word is not the same as believing God's Word.
To go from trying to believing, she had to change her inner image that was more doubt than
faith. She had to go to work on the inner image on the inside to get results on the outside.
She began spending time in the Bible, thinking, dwelling on, studying and speaking God's Word
concerning her identity and true self-worth. This is called meditation of God's Word which brings
revelation to your heart. As revelation came to her, she could feel her inner image change from
"loser to winner." She grew "from religion to relationship." Then it happened, one morning when
she went to speak to the rain to stop she knew that she knew that she knew the rain would stop.
Without yelling or screaming, she calmly told the rain to stop. It did. Praise God!
Her authority was born out of a relationship with God and knowing who she was in Christ. Her
image of God on the inside of her had been restored through daily meditating on God's Word
and spending time praying and conversing with God.
Now it's your turn. Make the quality decision to daily spend time in prayer and conversation with
God, meditating His Word to change your inner image from a "loser to a winner," created in the
image of God with authority in the earth through Christ Jesus. Then one day you will speak in
the name of Jesus to that "rain" and it will have to stop because of your revelation of the
authority in His name and your revelation of your God-given authority.
Here are some scriptures that will renew your mind to who you are in Christ and what authority
you have been given as a child of God.
Deuteronomy 28:13; Proverbs 18:21; Mark 11:23; Mark 16:17-18; Romans 8:2,17,37; 1
Corinthians 2:16; Galatians 3:13; Philippians 4:13; 1 Peter 2:24: 2 Peter 1:3-4
