Myles Munroe delivers an inspiring message about facing life's challenges and becoming bigger than the mountains that stand in your way. His motivational speech encourages us to expand our faith, understand the nature of our future, and embrace honesty and forgiveness to move forward.
Myles begins by affirming that the problems or mountains you face cannot get any bigger, but you can grow bigger than them. The key is to have faith that surpasses the size of your obstacles. He urges listeners to declare, "I will defeat you," to any mountain they face this year, reinforcing the power of positive faith.
He shares a profound insight: it takes just as much faith to believe you will fail as it does to believe you will succeed. Therefore, it makes sense to use your faith to believe in success. Faith is essentially belief, and if you believe you won't succeed, you won't. But if you believe you will, you set yourself on the path to victory. This mindset is what enabled people to conquer Mount Everest.
Myles outlines eight principles about the future to help us understand why we can be confident in what lies ahead:
He illustrates this with the example of an apple: inside the apple are seeds, and inside those seeds are apple trees and more apples. This means the future of the apple is contained within itself. Similarly, your future is not ahead of you but trapped within you right now.
Just as an egg is a chicken in potential, your future is already within you, waiting to manifest through a process. This understanding shifts our perspective from seeing the future as something distant to something present within us.
Myles shares his personal decision for the year: to achieve in one year what normally takes five years, emphasizing the importance of working with God and being careful about who you allow to waste your time. He stresses the need to let go of things and people that hinder your progress.
God is committed to the future He has placed within you. Your future is more important, valuable, and powerful than your past. No matter what has happened before, there is something greater inside you waiting to be accomplished.
Myles reminds us that what is around us is not as important as what is inside us. God's deposit within us is more powerful than external circumstances. He quotes Apostle Paul: "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world," encouraging us to believe in that divine deposit.
Jesus died not only to forgive your past but also to salvage your future. He took care of your past by throwing it away into the "sea of forgetfulness," so you should not dwell on it anymore.
Myles advises that when you make mistakes, fail, or sin, the first step is to be honest. God cannot help you if you are not honest. Confession means agreeing with God that what you did was wrong. Pretending it is not wrong prevents forgiveness and release.
Myles shares the story of Apostle Paul, who was once a persecutor and killer of Christians. When Paul approached new towns, people feared him because of his past. Instead of hiding it, Paul openly acknowledged his past wrongdoings and gave thanks to God for transformation.
This openness destroyed gossip and rumors because once a person publicly admits what others want to gossip about, the power of gossip is broken. This teaches us the importance of honesty and transparency in overcoming our past.
Myles Munroe’s message is a call to grow your faith beyond your challenges, recognize that your future is already within you, and embrace honesty and forgiveness to move forward. By doing so, you can be bigger than your mountains and achieve the success and destiny God has planned for you.
Remember, your future is not ahead of you; it is trapped within you, waiting to be released through faith, honesty, and commitment.
