15什么是权柄的祷告呢？简单地说，就是马可十一章里的祷告。……二十四节开头说“所以”，“所以”是承上接下之辞。……二十四节是说到祷告的事，可见二十三节也是说到祷告的事。希奇的就是在这里不像普通的祷告，这里不是对神说，“神啊，求你把这座山挪开此地投在海里。”在这里说什么呢？这里是说，“无论谁对这座山说，你得挪开，投在海里。”……我们想，祷告总是要向神说，“神啊，求你把这座山挪开此地投在海里。”但主在这里所说的是另一方面。……叫我们面向山，对山说。不是对神说，乃是直接对山说，“你得挪开，投在海里。”主恐怕我们以为这不是祷告，所以在二十四节就来解释说，这也是祷告。在这里有一个祷告不是对神说的，但也是祷告。对山说，……这就是权柄的祷告。权柄的祷告，不是求神作什么，乃是用神的权柄，把神的权柄拿来直接对付难处，直接对付那该除去的事。这种祷告，是每一个得胜者所必须学习的。每一个得胜者必须学会如何直接对山说话。
15What is praying with authority? Simply put, it is praying the prayer of Mark 11…Verse 24 begins with the words “for this reason.” “For this reason” means that this sentence is a continuation of what has gone before…Verse 24 mentions prayer. This proves that verse 23 must also concern prayer. The strange thing is that verse 23 does not sound like an ordinary prayer. The Lord did not tell us to pray, “God, please move the mountain and cast it into the sea.” What does it say? It says, “Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea.”…We think that when we pray to God, we have to say, “God, please move this mountain and cast it into the sea.” But the Lord said something else…He told us to turn to the mountain and to speak to the mountain. The speaking is not toward God but directly toward the mountain, telling it to be cast into the sea. Since the Lord was afraid that we would not consider this to be a prayer, He pointed out in the following verse that it is a prayer. This prayer is not directed toward God, but it is a prayer. It is a speaking directed toward the mountain…This is a prayer with authority. A prayer with authority does not ask God to do something. Rather, it exercises God’s authority and applies this authority to deal with problems and things that ought to be removed. Every overcomer has to learn to pray this kind of prayer. Every overcomer has to learn to speak to the mountain.
