Pulverizing Mountains: 6 Above-Normal Advantages You Have in Christ (Ep 338)

What if the real reason you're feeling stuck isn’t a lack of talent or opportunity—but a lack of awareness about what’s already yours in Christ?

In this episode, we highlight 6 cutting-edge advantages that every Christ-follower can activate:

• The authority of bold faith at the Throne of Grace
• Access to “God-tel” — divine intelligence for real-world problems
• How insane favor flows from alignment with Christ
• What it means to carry Christ’s Name as legal authority
• How the Romans 10 pattern of heart and mouth is a lifelong power dynamic
• Supernatural energy and momentum from the Holy Spirit

Isaiah 41:15—“I will make you into a new, sharp threshing sledge... you will pulverize mountains.” This isn’t poetry. It’s your potential.

This isn’t hype. This could be our new normal.

I’m sharing this because I’m waking up to these truths myself—and I want you to experience the shift too. You’re not at a disadvantage. You’ve been regenerated in Christ.

EPISODE TRANSCRIPT

Hey there, Friend — welcome to Jesus Smart X. This is Brian Del Turco, and you’re listening to episode 338.

Today, I want to share what might be called a listicle podcast — six ways you have a believer’s advantage as a Christ follower. You can pulverize the mountains that stand before you. This isn’t a complete list, but it’s a strong start.

Before we dive in, if you missed the last couple of episodes, check them out. In episode 337, I talked with Mary DeMuth — Jesus is a Champion of Women: He Rewrites Your Life Story. It’s a powerful conversation about the Kingdom of God and how Jesus restores women to their true design and purpose.

And in episode 336, I spoke with Len Hauser — Start Your Day with a Positive Mindset. Len has years of experience in radio, marketing, and ministry, and that conversation is full of energy and insight.

The Believer's Advantage

A lot of Christ followers don’t realize they have real advantages in Jesus Christ. This isn’t about self-improvement or a life-hack program — it’s about aligning your life with Christ and seeking first the Kingdom and His righteousness.

When you do, there are spiritual edges that form in your life — advantages that come directly from your connection to Christ. You’re not at a disadvantage. Let’s look at six key advantages that belong to you.

Access to the Throne of Grace

Hebrews 4:16 says we can come boldly to the throne of grace. Authentic Christianity is not timid religion — it’s confident access to God.

When Jesus died, the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom. That supernatural act opened the way for every believer to enter God’s presence freely.

When you approach Him in faith, things shift. Wisdom flows, peace fills your heart, and mountains move.

As James writes (James 4), sometimes we don’t have because we don’t ask. Coming boldly before the throne of grace is a tremendous believer’s advantage that releases Kingdom leverage into your life.

Godtel

Think of this as “God intel” — supernatural intelligence, revelation, and solutions. The Holy Spirit gives you access to the smartest mind in the universe.

George Washington Carver modeled this beautifully. As a botanist, he prayed daily in his lab, asking the Creator to reveal the mysteries of creation. God answered, showing him insights about the peanut that revolutionized Southern agriculture.

We talk a lot today about AI — artificial intelligence. But what about anointed intelligence? The Holy Spirit can give you real-time revelation, insight, and answers. That’s divine Godtel — and it’s one of your greatest advantages.

Insane Favor via Alignment

Favor isn’t random or luck-based. It’s the byproduct of alignment with Christ.

When you say yes to His ways, doors open. You walk into rooms you don’t qualify for. Things accelerate. Scripture says Jesus grew in favor with God and man — and because you’re in Him, that same favor is yours.

Don’t shrink back from it. Of course, we don’t deserve it in ourselves — but we have access because of who we’re united with. Alignment equals acceleration.

Exercise Authority in Christ's Name

Jesus said, “My name I have given to you.” That means you have spiritual power of attorney before the Father. You come to Him not on your own merit, but backed by the full credit of heaven.

It’s like holding a legal authorization that activates divine authority. When you pray, act, or speak in His name, you are backed by Jesus Himself — the full faith and credit of heaven. That’s not hype. It’s Kingdom reality.

The Romans 10 Pattern: Heart Belief and Confession

Romans 10 tells us we’re saved by believing in our heart and confessing with our mouth. That’s not just a one-time event ... it’s a lifelong operating system.

“If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved” (Romans 10.9-10 NLT).

When your heart belief aligns with your words, it creates a supernatural rhythm of transformation and manifestation. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Your words architect your reality.

Keep your speech aligned with God’s Word — both your inner talk and what you speak outwardly. Salvation (soteria) includes forgiveness, healing, deliverance, and provision. A complete redemption package.

Supernatural Energy from the Holy Spirit

You were never meant to live on your own battery. Romans 8 says the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. That’s resurrection power energizing your body, soul, and spirit.

When you feel depleted, wait on the Lord. Isaiah 40 says those who do will renew their strength, mount up with wings like eagles, and soar high on the wind of the Spirit.

This supernatural energy is an advantage that fuels every Christ follower to persevere, create, and overcome.

Walking In Your Advantages

Let’s summarize:

• Power at the throne of grace
• Godtel — supernatural intelligence
• Insane favor through alignment
• The authority of Christ’s name
• The Romans 10 operating system
• Supernatural energy from the Spirit

You’re not disadvantaged. Not in your calling, work, relationships, or purpose. You’ve been given an above-normal edge in Christ.

A Faith Affirmation to Declare

Rehearse these lines over yourself and thanking the Father as you do:

• I have above-normal advantages.
• I reject the lies that I’m late, losing, or lacking.
• I choose to align with Christ and play huge.
• I’m redesigned for wisdom and energy from above.
• The Spirit of Christ animates me.
• I advance today and this week with Kingdom force.

Cycle through this three times in prayer. You’ll feel a real shift.

Remember: you have the power to thresh mountains, reduce them to dust, and see God’s glory manifest in your life.

“Behold, I have made you into a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges; You will thresh the mountains and pulverize them, and make the hills like chaff” (Isaiah 41.15 NASB).
