“I’m thinking about this missionary we had at church along with his beautiful family from Scotland and they were there ministering to us..and his words were ever so true and ever so right..he was speaking of the mountain..and gave many scriptures of the mountains and those mountain tops where God’s presence is at..he went on to saying that the soft and lazy won’t get up to the top of that mountain because they stop part way..they fall by the wayside..they get discouraged..they lose sight and hope of where it is that the Lord is taking them in their lives..so in the middle of the climb they get tired and they feel a little hopeless and they’ll begin to speak of all the reasons why they can’t make it and all the reasons why they can’t climb it..Amen..so to get to the top means that each of us must be determined that we’re going to reach the place where God is at..the place as to where His presence and His power is evident..and that we will climb our mountains regardless of what is to what isn’t going right in our lives..Amen!”

“For you see it’s there that will leave that mountain top just as Moses did and his face was aglow because he had been there in the Lord’s presence..Exodus 34:29…and let us not forget Abraham, when the Lord spoke to him to take his only son up that mountain to sacrifice him..can you only imagine the heartache that he must had felt at that moment in his life..but regardless he chose to go up the mountain all the while trusting the Lord..Amen..and what happened through Abrahams obedience?..the Lord provided for him a sacrifice for the burnt offering..Genesis 22:1-14..so maybe we don’t understand the pathway..maybe we don’t know the way..but I came to tell someone here this morning..that whether we know the way or not..we will declare and we will proclaim that we are going to walk in the Lord’s ways..and follow them..and that we will keep our faces like a flint before the Lord..Isaiah 50:7..not getting distracted by them distractions..because we know that we know that our victory is just right up there ahead of us..for we are almost there guys at the very tip-top of our mountain where our Father and His presence is at..so keep climbing..don’t stop now..Amen..even our Lord Jesus, Himself went the scripture says up to the mountain to pray..Matthew 14:23/Mark 3:13/Luke 6:12/John 6:3..Amen!”

“So I guess the part of it all is to make it up that mountain..is that we must pray..we must stay close to the Lord..we must stay focused..and we must continue climbing and daily so..to reach the very top..I always think that if we could only see just how much further we had to go..we wouldn’t get so sidetracked or off course so to speak as we do..for you see I always like to think to myself just how far the Lord has brought me in my life..and there is where I draw strength..because I know that He wouldn’t have ever done all that He has done just to leave me halfway there before I reach the place that He has prepared just for me..Amen..so on that note..I am going to say that God has way to much invested in each of us to leave us where were at..Amen..for you see He has a mighty plan for our lives..and victory is there in them plans for each of us and our lives..but as well know that faith without works is dead..James 2:14-26..so we work..we plough them fields and God will do the rest..even as we’re climbing God is there holding our hand and ever so gently helping us climb to reach the very top of that glorious and beautiful mountain..and what a view it will be when we get there..our hearts will be set on fire..and our countenances will change and glow there in that place of victory that our Lord has prepared..so let us all keep climbing and keep holding on..always and forever..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
