Faced with a mountain?

One of our pastors had a dream once that he shared with us, I've never forgotten it and it's served over the years as a source of encouragement.

He was standing in front of an ominous mountain made of smooth granite. It was urgent that he get to the other side. He could not go around it, and he knew all he could do was scale that thing, but by the looks of things, THAT TOO was impossible.

Restless and overwhelmed, he was then instructed in his spirit to search with his hands for a foothold. As he did, he found a place to use. He then began to search for another, and after having found three places to make use of, he leaned over and saw a passageway that went clear through the mountain to the other side.

There have been places in my life that have presented themselves to me as impossibilities. You too. Overwhelming circumstances that will try to convince us that there is NOTHING that will change them. They speak to us, they know to do nothing but lie, their author is the father of lies.

The Word of God tells us in Luke 18:27:
And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

Mark 10:27 says:
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Luke 1:37 tell us:
For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Regardless of how impossible ANY situation that looms over us LOOKS, they are always subject to change through the Word of God, through His Power and Might, and with our agreement with Him.

Remember over in Zechariah 4:6,7 that tells us:
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

It's NEVER by our own might or our own power...it's ALWAYS by the Spirit of God.
The gospels instructs us in Mark 11:23, 24:
23 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.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Zerubbabel shouted GRACE GRACE to the mountain in front of him. We can do the same too. We're to SPEAK to those mountains. Is it a mountain of pain? Is it a mountain of sorrow, of regret, disease, sickness. Are they overwhelming mountains of relationships gone awry, feelings of inability, insecurity, lack, anger, rage, the devil has no new bag of tricks/lies, the same he's used through all of time.

Speak to that mountain, like JESUS instructed us to. He will always give us a way THROUGH it. The situations will have to bow their knee to God's Word. EVERY TIME. FOR EVER!

We truly ARE made overcomers through the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of our testimony, just as John told us in Revelation 12:11

There's NOTHING in life that God's Word has not provided for. He's equipped us to live a victorious lives....every day of our life.

Hallelujah!!!!!

Once I was faced with changing a situation in my life and I could NOT see any way out of the RUT. Told the Lord that I was willing to make that change, but needed HELP in getting it done.

Father, I ask You to HELP US to remember what to do with the mountains that the devil would bring our way. Lord, I know that sometimes we've lived with situations that have become RUTS...and ruts try to be difficult to get out of. You KNOW HOW to HELP US out of them. That's what I'm asking You to do. HELP US Father. HELP US to bow to You and NOT to the mountains in our life. You are our GREAT and MIGHTY God. You are the strength of our life. YOU have every solution to every challenge that is presented to us, and I want to remember that and not be overcome by what hell presents me. In Jesus' Name.
