The Mountains Are Moving!


 

I don’t know if you’ve figured it out yet or not, but God is in the mountain removal business.  For some that are not familiar with the terminology, I am not just talking about a physical mountain here; though removing of a physical mountain is possible.  But I’m speaking of an obstacle; something that you can’t see around that is blocking your vision of what is beyond it.

This morning in prayer this scripture kept rising up in my spirit.

Psalm 97:5

The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.

That’s a pretty awesome image if you think about it, but then as I meditated on it I began to think about the word of God.  God’s power is on the inside of me.  He told me that I could move mountains too, and so can you!

Matthew 17:20

He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

When we are on the verge of something God is doing big in our lives how often it is that we go through some the hardest challenges we’ve ever faced.  I began to reflect on all of this, and thought, ‘Well How does one melt wax?”  They do it through heat.  It’s not that God brings about ungodly things in our lives.  He doesn’t bring on sickness, lack and poverty, but when the heat gets turned up in our lives we should rejoice.  We should know that the mountains are melting.  It should make us excited to know that something is happening!

James 1:2

[ Testing of Your Faith ] Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,

All of this heat, just means God is up to something.  So trust in him! 

On a personal note this has been one of the hardest seasons I have faced to date.  There is a whole list of things going on, and I don’t need to go into details publicly until I have the testimony, but as I heard this idea roaming in my spirit today I started to get excited.  God is melting the mountains for me, and I believe He is melting the mountains for you too!  Trust Him!

Remember God has awesome plans for your life.  Get excited!

....And I broke the Pickle Jar

Image
Last week my oldest daughter came running to me for help. I had just bought a new jar of pickles and she could not open them up. Surely, Mom could do it and this was going to be an easy thing. I sometimes wonder how they get those lids so tightly on jars in the factory. I was not going to pull the wimp card but I could not get that lid off. I tried banging the bottom with the palm of my hand. I saw someone do that once. It did not work. I tried twisting it, and it would not budge. I even tried getting a butter knife and breaking the seal by trying to wedge it between the lid and the jar. Nothing was working. Dan was not home and even if he was, I really hate admitting when I cannot do something like this without his help. I was going to get that jar open! Finally I took the opposite end of a butter knife and whacked at the lid. I thought a couple smacks would make the jar open, and it did. Evidently, I do not know my own strength. With the sound of breaking glass crackin

Lessons Learned In The Pruning Season

Image
  People in the church often have a misguided notion that God always operates in the timing and the way that we think He should.   His Word is quite clear that His ways aren’t our ways (Isaiah 55).   The longer I’ve been pursuing a life in the Kingdom, I realize that God is really into times and seasons.   Often one season may look totally different than another season.   Nature reflects this so well.   Winter and summer may look completely different, but they each serve a purpose.   It’s important to discern those seasons.   The sons of Issachar understood this too (1 Chronicles 12:32). It’s important to trust God in those seasons and be able to recognize that God is faithful no matter what a situation may look like.   We often like to talk about the exciting season.   We all want to hear words about harvest and the manifested promises.   We all love to hear stories of the faithfulness of God.   What about the season that things appear dry and dead?   What about the seasons where

Don't Fall For the Fake Jakes!

I hope all of you had an awesome Resurrection Weekend! He is Risen!! Several weeks ago I had someone claiming to be T.D. Jakes begin communication with me on twitter. At first I brushed him off thinking there was no way he was the real T.D. However this individual was persistent. We began exchanging a few direct messages back and forth. He then proceeded to invite me to go with himself and several other ministers over to Japan to preach over there. That was when I told him to email me at my website email. The conversation continued. At first I didn’t believe at all this was the real T.D. Jakes. However the more we exchanged emails the more I really thought it might. His phrasing on how he worded things sounded like the real T.D. The text emails were coming from Texas, and it was obvious this man spent a long time familiarizing himself with T.D. and his website because of the way he wove legitimate things about the real T. D. into the conversations. This went back a forth for several we
