Ezekiel‬ ‭36:1‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “Son of man, prophesy to Israel’s mountains. Give them this message: O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord!

God had Ezekiel prophesy to Israel’s mountains. Mountains are inanimate objects, but God spoke to them through Ezekiel. He told the mountains what they were going to do and how prosperous they will be. In verse 8 God said, “‭the mountains of Israel will produce heavy crops of fruit for my people.” In verse 11, God said “‭O mountains of Israel, I will bring people to live on you once again. I will make you even more prosperous than you were before.”

In Mark 11:12-14, Jesus spoke to a tree and it obeyed Him.

As the Holy Spirit leads, start speaking to some things. Speak to your bills and tell them to be supernaturally paid off in the name of Jesus. Speak to your house and all the appliances in it and tell them to function properly. Speak to your car and tell it to be problem-free. Speak to the land you have your eyes on and declare that it’s sold to you.

It may seem foolish at first, but it’s an act of faith. We’re using our authority that we have in Christ to speak to these things with an expectation for them to obey. If God can have Ezekiel, who was under the Old Covenant, speak to inanimate objects and Jesus who is our example speak to a tree, we can speak to inanimate objects and expect them to obey too.
