Speaking To Your Mountain

In the Bible, the term 'mountain' is usually used to refer to problems encountered in life. And even in our ordinary speech we describe our problems as a 'mountain of problems (or challenges)'. On Sunday Oct 28, Rev Joe Purcell (Director of Rhema Bible Training Centre) preached in New Creation Church in place of Pastor Joseph Prince who is in Canada speaking at a Conference organized by Pastor Peter Yongren.

Rev Joe talked about our righteousness in Christ and why we need to declare aloud our inheritance in Christ and there was a point in the sermon when he was sharing about how Zerubbabel was so discouraged with the opposition that he almost gave up and just at the right moment, the Lord sent an angel to him to encourage him.
Zechariah 4:6-7, v6 'This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit," says the Lord Almighty. v7 "What are you, O mighty mountain? Before Zerubbable you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of 'God bless it! God bless it!"'

So the first thing we as children of our Abba Daddy need to recognize is our blessing of righteousness in Christ and because of this righteousness, we have our position in Him and because of our position in Christ, we now can turn around and declare to our 'mountain' that they will become level ground and no longer be a threat to us.

So we need to take ownership of our blessing of righteousness and start to declare our victory. That is our fight of faith; not that we need to fight FOR our faith but that we fight FROM our position of faith and then begin to see our mountain melt away and so what used to be a whole mountain range will become plains stretching for miles around us. Would you not want that to happen? Then start declaring your faith and claiming your blessing of righteousness and then sit back and watch the Lord put everything right for you. I did and I am beginning to see results over the past three days.
