00:00:38.16\00:00:45.13
>>I'D LIKE TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT MOUNTAINS.
00:00:45.13\00:00:50.23
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT
YOU - I LIKE MOUNTAINS.
00:00:50.23\00:00:53.93
AND I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT WE
ARE SORT OF HARD WIRED INSIDE,
00:00:53.93\00:01:00.30
MAYBE MORE BOYS THAN GIRLS,
I DON'T KNOW, TO ALWAYS CLIMB
00:01:00.30\00:01:04.40
TO THE TOP OF HILLS.
00:01:04.40\00:01:07.53
OUR WORLD IS COVERED WITH
TWO MAJOR MOUNTAIN CHAINS.
00:01:07.53\00:01:13.23
THERE IS THE SPINE OF THE PLANET
THAT REALLY REACHES ALL THE WAY
00:01:13.23\00:01:18.60
FROM THE ANDES DOWN IN TIERRA
DEL FUEGO AND IT GOES THOUSANDS
00:01:18.60\00:01:23.76
OF MILES - AND IT DISAPPEARS AND
COMES BACK AT TIMES THROUGH THE
00:01:23.76\00:01:27.53
ROCKIES AND THE MOUNTAINS
THAT GO THROUGH NORTH AMERICA.
00:01:27.53\00:01:31.66
BUT YOU'VE GOT THAT GREAT
CHAIN, THAT SPINE, AND IT RUNS
00:01:31.66\00:01:36.10
FROM NORTH TO SOUTH.
00:01:36.10\00:01:37.40
WHEN YOU GET TO EUROPE, THE
GREAT CHAIN RUNS FROM EAST TO
00:01:37.40\00:01:40.06
WEST AND IT STARTS WITH THE
PYRENEES AND THE MOUNTAINS THERE
00:01:40.06\00:01:43.80
IN SPAIN, THE ALPS, IT MAKES ITS
WAY ACROSS INTO THE HIMALAYAS
00:01:43.80\00:01:49.90
IN CHINA.
00:01:49.90\00:01:51.60
YOU KNOW, I DID THIS STUDY TODAY
BECAUSE I STARTED LOOKING AT THE
00:01:51.60\00:01:54.63
DIFFERENT STORIES IN THE BIBLE
DEALING WITH MOUNTAINS AND THEN
00:01:54.63\00:02:00.66
I LOOKED AT WHAT HAPPENED
ON A VERY HUMBLE MOUNTAIN
00:02:00.66\00:02:03.90
OUTSIDE OF JERUSALEM.
00:02:03.90\00:02:05.20
NOW JERUSALEM, OF
COURSE, IS ON A MOUNTAIN.
00:02:05.20\00:02:07.03
IT'S CALLED MOUNT ZION OR MOUNT
MORIAH AND THERE WAS A KNOBBY
00:02:07.03\00:02:10.53
KNOLL OUTSIDE OF THE CITY WALLS
- IT'S A LITTLE MOLEHILL ON A
00:02:10.53\00:02:16.93
MOUNTAIN CALLED GOLGATHA.
00:02:16.93\00:02:20.66
GOLGATHA IS THE NAME OF THE
KNOLL, OR THAT KNOB, ON A HILL
00:02:20.66\00:02:25.86
THAT'S NORTHEAST OF JERUSALEM,
WHERE JESUS WAS EXECUTED.
00:02:25.86\00:02:29.60
AND, BY THE WAY, THE WORD
GOLGATHA IN HEBREW - AND YOU
00:02:29.60\00:02:33.93
READ IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
YOU FIND IT'S 'GOLGATHA'.
00:02:33.93\00:02:35.93
IN HEBREW IT'S 'GOLGOATH'
AND IT SIMPLY MEANS THE SKULL.
00:02:35.93\00:02:40.70
YOU LOOK AT THE EVENTS THAT TOOK
PLACE ON THE HILL WHERE JESUS
00:02:40.70\00:02:44.06
WAS CRUCIFIED AND EVEN THOUGH
THAT'S SORT OF A HUMBLE HILL,
00:02:44.06\00:02:47.96
YOU LOOK AT ALL THE OTHER
MOUNTAINS IN THE BIBLE AND YOU
00:02:47.96\00:02:49.86
FIND THAT MANY OF THOSE
SAME THINGS HAPPENED ON CALVARY
00:02:49.86\00:02:54.56
- ON GOLGATHA - AT THAT TIME.
00:02:54.56\00:02:58.30
THE CROSS IS REALLY THE CENTER
OF THE GOSPEL AND WHAT HAPPENED
00:02:58.30\00:03:01.30
ON THAT HILL.
00:03:01.30\00:03:02.66
1 CORINTHIANS 2:2.
00:03:02.66\00:03:05.26
PAUL SAID, "FOR I AM DETERMINED
TO KNOW NOTHING AMONG YOU EXCEPT
00:03:05.26\00:03:08.56
JESUS CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED."
00:03:08.56\00:03:12.20
SO ALL OF THOSE STORIES
OF MOUNTAINS REALLY POINTED
00:03:12.20\00:03:14.40
TO MOUNT CALVARY.
00:03:14.40\00:03:16.16
NOW, IF YOU LOOK AT GENESIS 22,
YOU FIND THAT THERE'S MANY CASES
00:03:16.16\00:03:21.20
IN THE BIBLE OF
SACRIFICE ON A MOUNTAIN.
00:03:21.20\00:03:25.36
YOU REMEMBER WHAT
GOD SAID TO ABRAHAM?
00:03:25.36\00:03:27.00
GENESIS 22, VERSE 2 "TAKE NOW
YOUR SON, YOUR ONLY SON ISAAC,
00:03:27.00\00:03:31.73
WHO YOU LOVE, GO TO THE LAND
OF MORIAH, AND OFFER HIM THERE
00:03:31.73\00:03:36.26
AS A BURNT OFFERING ON
ONE OF THE MOUNTAINS OF WHICH
00:03:36.26\00:03:39.16
I TELL YOU."
00:03:39.16\00:03:40.46
BY THE WAY, YOU KNOW
WHAT MOUNTAIN THAT WAS?
00:03:40.46\00:03:44.56
MOUNT MORIAH IS REALLY THE
MOUNTAIN WHERE JERUSALEM IS,
00:03:44.56\00:03:47.80
IT'S THE MOUNTAIN WHERE
JESUS DIED, AND SO ABRAHAM WAS
00:03:47.80\00:03:50.46
DIRECTED TO THE VERY SAME
MOUNTAIN TO OFFER HIS SON.
00:03:50.46\00:03:54.40
BUT GOD STOPPED HIM ON THE
WAY UP THE MOUNTAIN, VERSE 7.
00:03:54.40\00:03:59.73
"ISAAC SPOKE TO ABRAHAM HIS
FATHER" - HERE THEY ARE MOUNTAIN
00:03:59.73\00:04:02.56
CLIMBING - AND
HE SAID, 'FATHER!'
00:04:02.56\00:04:06.30
'HERE AM I, MY SON.'
'LOOK, THE FIRE - WE'RE TAKING
00:04:06.30\00:04:10.00
WHAT WE NEED FOR A FIRE TO OFFER
SACRIFICE AND FOR THE WOOD, BUT
00:04:10.00\00:04:15.13
WHERE IS THE LAMB
FOR A BURNT OFFERING?'
00:04:15.13\00:04:17.83
AND ABRAHAM SAID, 'MY SON,' -
AND THESE WERE PROPHETIC WORDS
00:04:17.83\00:04:22.36
AS WELL AS PRACTICAL WORDS -
'GOD WILL PROVIDE FOR HIMSELF A
00:04:22.36\00:04:26.20
LAMB FOR A BURNT OFFERING.'
GOD WILL PROVIDE FOR HIMSELF.
00:04:26.20\00:04:33.73
GOD ACTUALLY PROVIDED HIMSELF
A LAMB FOR A BURNT OFFERING.
00:04:33.73\00:04:39.83
SO THE TWO OF
THEM WENT ON TOGETHER.
00:04:39.83\00:04:42.73
MANY TIMES IN THE BIBLE YOU SEE
THAT MOUNTAINS WERE PLACES WHERE
00:04:42.73\00:04:45.56
GOD REVEALED HIS GLORY.
00:04:45.56\00:04:48.50
FOR INSTANCE, YOU CAN SEE GLORY
ON THE MOUNTAIN IN EXODUS 34,
00:04:48.50\00:04:52.40
VERSE 29.
00:04:52.40\00:04:55.33
WHERE DID MOSES GO TO
GET THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:04:55.33\00:04:58.36
UP A MOUNTAIN.
00:04:58.36\00:04:59.60
WHY NOT IN A VALLEY?
00:04:59.60\00:05:01.26
YOU KNOW, ONE REASON I
THINK PEOPLE CLIMB MOUNTAINS IS
00:05:01.26\00:05:03.60
BECAUSE WE ALWAYS SAY,
'OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.'
00:05:03.60\00:05:05.70
WE THINK ABOUT GOING UP, RIGHT?
00:05:05.70\00:05:08.46
AND SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, IF
I WANT TO GET CLOSER TO GOD' -
00:05:08.46\00:05:12.56
NO ONE EVER SAYS, 'I'M GOING
TO GO TO A VALLEY SO I CAN GET
00:05:12.56\00:05:14.63
CLOSER TO GOD.' WHEN
JONAH WANTED TO GET AWAY
00:05:14.63\00:05:17.86
FROM GOD HE TOOK
A SUBMARINE, RIGHT?
00:05:17.86\00:05:20.80
HE WENT DOWN, DOWN, DOWN.
00:05:20.80\00:05:22.63
PEOPLE THINK ABOUT GETTING
CLOSER TO GOD, WE THINK ABOUT
00:05:22.63\00:05:24.63
GOING UP.
00:05:24.63\00:05:26.83
AND SO, MOSES WENT UP THE
MOUNTAIN AND, WHILE HE WAS UP
00:05:26.83\00:05:31.06
THERE TALKING WITH THE LORD, THE
GLORY OF THE LORD SO RADIATED
00:05:31.06\00:05:36.16
HIM - A GEIGER COUNTER PROBABLY
WOULD HAVE GONE OFF - BECAUSE
00:05:36.16\00:05:39.83
HE CAME DOWN THE MOUNTAIN
- IT SAYS, 'THE SKIN OF HIS
00:05:39.83\00:05:42.46
FACE SHONE WHEN HE
CAME DOWN THE MOUNTAIN.'
00:05:42.46\00:05:46.63
THE GLORY OF GOD
WAS ON THE MOUNTAIN.
00:05:46.63\00:05:49.13
NOW, YOU FIND ANOTHER
EXAMPLE OF THAT WHEN CHRIST WAS
00:05:49.13\00:05:51.93
ON THE CROSS.
00:05:51.93\00:05:54.53
THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE GLORY
OF GOD SHONE THROUGH HIM AND HE
00:05:54.53\00:05:57.20
WAS TRIUMPHANT WHEN HE
SAID, 'IT IS FINISHED.'
00:05:57.20\00:06:01.60
THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE
CLOUDS PARTED AND HE SAID,
00:06:01.60\00:06:04.90
'VERILY I SAY YOU WILL BE WITH
ME IN PARADISE' TO THE DYING
00:06:04.90\00:06:08.36
THIEF. YOU CAN ALSO LOOK IN
THE STORY OF MARK 9, WHERE JESUS
00:06:08.36\00:06:12.53
CLIMBS ANOTHER MOUNTAIN.
00:06:12.53\00:06:14.86
MARK 9, VERSES 1
AND 3 - 1 THROUGH 3.
00:06:14.86\00:06:20.16
HE TOLD THE DISCIPLES "THERE ARE
SOME OF YOU STANDING HERE WHO
00:06:20.16\00:06:22.93
WILL NOT TASTE OF DEATH TILL YOU
SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD PRESENT"
00:06:22.93\00:06:26.80
- OR COME - "WITH POWER.
00:06:26.80\00:06:28.26
NOW, AFTER SIX DAYS, JESUS TOOK
PETER, JAMES, AND JOHN AND LED
00:06:28.26\00:06:32.56
THEM APART UP A HIGH MOUNTAIN
AND HE WAS TRANSFIGURED BEFORE
00:06:32.56\00:06:38.83
THEM SO HIS
CLOTHES BECAME SHINING,"
00:06:38.83\00:06:41.53
- LIKE MOSES WAS
SHINING - "EXCEEDING WHITE,
00:06:41.53\00:06:44.70
LIKE NO LAUNDERER ON EARTH
CAN WHITEN THEM." AND THERE
00:06:44.70\00:06:47.33
THEY SAW JESUS WAS GLORIFIED.
00:06:47.33\00:06:50.10
THEY SAW THE GLORY OF GOD.
00:06:50.10\00:06:51.66
THEY SAW MOSES.
00:06:51.66\00:06:52.73
THEY SAW ELIJAH.
00:06:52.73\00:06:54.30
THERE WAS GLORY ON THE MOUNTAIN.
00:06:54.30\00:06:56.66
AND BY THE WAY, THAT EXPERIENCE
- THE MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION
00:06:56.66\00:07:00.33
IT'S FOUND IN MATTHEW, MARK,
AND LUKE - CAME JUST BEFORE
00:07:00.33\00:07:03.20
MOUNT CALVARY.
00:07:03.20\00:07:05.50
AND WHAT JESUS WAS PRAYING ABOUT
UP THERE ON THE MOUNTAIN, HE WAS
00:07:05.50\00:07:08.26
PRAYING THEY WOULD HAVE AN
EXPERIENCE ON THAT MOUNTAIN WITH
00:07:08.26\00:07:12.26
THE GLORY OF GOD, THAT
WOULD STRENGTHEN THEIR FAITH TO
00:07:12.26\00:07:15.56
PREPARE THEM FOR THE
OTHER MOUNTAIN THAT WAS COMING
00:07:15.56\00:07:18.46
- THE DARK EXPERIENCE OF CHRIST.
00:07:18.46\00:07:20.40
CHRIST WAS GLORIFIED ON THIS
MOUNTAIN BECAUSE SOON HE WAS
00:07:20.40\00:07:23.53
GOING TO LOOK LIKE HE WAS
DEFEATED ON THE OTHER MOUNTAIN.
00:07:23.53\00:07:28.30
IT WAS TO PREPARE THEM.
00:07:28.30\00:07:30.40
IN CONNECTION WITH THIS,
GOD OFTEN REVEALS HIMSELF.
00:07:30.40\00:07:34.20
THERE WAS
REVELATION ON THE MOUNTAIN.
00:07:34.20\00:07:38.40
YOU LOOK, FOR INSTANCE,
IN REVELATION CHAPTER 21,
00:07:38.40\00:07:41.23
VERSES 10 AND 11.
00:07:41.23\00:07:45.70
"SO HE CARRIED ME AWAY IN
THE SPIRIT TO A GREAT AND HIGH
00:07:45.70\00:07:50.43
MOUNTAIN, AND HE SHOWED ME THAT
GREAT CITY, THE HOLY JERUSALEM,
00:07:50.43\00:07:55.53
DESCENDING OUT OF HEAVEN FROM
GOD, HAVING THE GLORY OF GOD AND
00:07:55.53\00:07:59.36
HER LIGHT WAS LIKE THE MOST
PRECIOUS STONE, LIKE A JASPER
00:07:59.36\00:08:03.00
STONE" - HERE HE IS ON THIS HIGH
MOUNTAIN AND HE SEES THE NEW
00:08:03.00\00:08:08.20
JERUSALEM - CAN YOU THINK OF
A TIME IN THE BIBLE WHERE JESUS
00:08:08.20\00:08:12.33
WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER HIGH
MOUNTAIN AND SHOWN OTHER CITIES
00:08:12.33\00:08:14.90
IN THEIR GLORY?
00:08:14.90\00:08:17.56
THE DEVIL SAID, 'YOU DON'T NEED
TO WORRY ABOUT BEING KING OF THE
00:08:17.56\00:08:20.96
NEW JERUSALEM, LET ME DO THAT.
00:08:20.96\00:08:23.40
I'LL GIVE YOU ALL THE
KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD.'
00:08:23.40\00:08:26.06
AND YOU CAN READ THERE IN
MATTHEW - MATTER OF FACT I'VE
00:08:26.06\00:08:28.46
GOT THAT MARKED HERE IN MY BIBLE
- MATTHEW CHAPTER 4, VERSE 8 -
00:08:28.46\00:08:33.00
AMONG THE TEMPTATIONS THAT CAME
TO CHRIST - "THE DEVIL TOOK HIM
00:08:33.00\00:08:37.13
UP ON AN EXCEEDING HIGH MOUNTAIN
AND SHOWED HIM ALL THE KINGDOMS
00:08:37.13\00:08:41.56
OF THE WORLD AND THEIR GLORY.
00:08:41.56\00:08:44.30
HE SAID, 'ALL THESE THINGS I'LL
GIVE YOU IF YOU FALL DOWN AND
00:08:44.30\00:08:46.73
WORSHIP ME.'" AGAIN,
HE SHOWED HIM ALL THE
00:08:46.73\00:08:48.90
KINGDOMS AND ALL THE CITIES.
00:08:48.90\00:08:50.76
IT'S THE OPPOSITE OF
WHAT GOD HAD SHOWN JOHN UP ON
00:08:50.76\00:08:53.50
THAT MOUNTAIN.
00:08:53.50\00:08:54.76
THERE WAS ANOTHER TIME
WHEN ELIJAH WAS DISCOURAGED.
00:08:54.76\00:08:58.13
HE WAS DOWN IN THE VALLEY
PRAYING THAT HE MIGHT DIE AND
00:08:58.13\00:09:01.80
GOD FED HIM, MIRACULOUSLY,
WITH HIS ANGEL FOOD.
00:09:01.80\00:09:06.03
DO YOU REMEMBER?
00:09:06.03\00:09:07.00
THE ANGEL APPEARED TO HIM WHEN
HE WAS SLEEPING UNDER THE BROOM
00:09:07.00\00:09:08.36
TREE - IT'S A BUSH - AND IN
THE STRENGTH OTHAT FOOD HE TOOK
00:09:08.36\00:09:11.83
OFF AND HE CONTINUED TO RUN
FROM JEZEBEL - WHERE DID HE GO?
00:09:11.83\00:09:15.43
HE WENT DOWN INTO THE SINAI
DESERT AND DECIDED, 'I'M GOING
00:09:15.43\00:09:18.46
TO GO UP MOUNT SINAI.'
FOUND THE MOUNTAIN, WENT UP ON
00:09:18.46\00:09:21.66
TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN, THERE
WAS A CAVE AND IN THE CAVE A
00:09:21.66\00:09:25.06
TREMENDOUS WIND STORM CAME BY.
00:09:25.06\00:09:28.40
THEN THERE WAS AN EARTHQUAKE -
AND HE WAS PROBABLY GLAD HE WAS
00:09:28.40\00:09:30.93
IN THE CAVE BECAUSE ROCKS
CAME TUMBLING DOWN THE HILL.
00:09:30.93\00:09:34.06
THEN HE SAW A BRUSH STORM
- A FIRE SWEPT THROUGH THE
00:09:34.06\00:09:36.83
DESERT. AND HE SAW ALL THESE
NATURAL CATACLYSMIC DISASTERS
00:09:36.83\00:09:42.26
AND THEN HE HEARD A
STILL SMALL VOICE AND IT SAID,
00:09:42.26\00:09:46.06
'WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
00:09:46.06\00:09:48.50
YOU'VE GOT TO GET
BACK DOWN IN THE VALLEY.'
00:09:48.50\00:09:51.33
SOMETIMES GOD SPEAKS TO US,
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO GET AWAY FROM
00:09:51.33\00:09:54.33
EVERYTHING TO HEAR
THAT STILL SMALL VOICE.
00:09:54.33\00:09:56.63
SOMETIMES YOU'VE GOT TO GO TO
THE MOUNTAIN TO HEAR THE VOICE
00:09:56.63\00:09:58.53
THAT TELLS YOU TO GO
BACK TO WORK IN THE VALLEY.
00:09:58.53\00:10:01.16
DID JESUS DO THIS ALSO?
00:10:01.16\00:10:04.10
WOULD JESUS GO INTO
THE MOUNTAINS AND PRAY?
00:10:04.10\00:10:07.63
WHY DID HE GO UP
A MOUNTAIN TO PRAY?
00:10:07.63\00:10:10.46
WELL, YOU CAN PRAY IN A VALLEY,
JONAH PRAYED IN, LIKE I SAID,
00:10:10.46\00:10:12.80
A SUBMARINE.
00:10:12.80\00:10:15.06
NOW, GOD CAN HEAR YOUR PRAYER
ANYWHERE, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE
00:10:15.06\00:10:18.96
WE'RE DRAWN UPWARD.
00:10:18.96\00:10:21.30
EVEN THE PAGANS - NOT
THAT I WANT TO CONFUSE THINGS -
00:10:21.30\00:10:26.13
THEY WOULD WORSHIP THEIR GODS
TYPICALLY IN WHAT THEY CALLED
00:10:26.13\00:10:28.26
'THE HIGH PLACES.' ALL
THROUGH THE BIBLE YOU'LL
00:10:28.26\00:10:31.93
HEAR REFERENCE
TO THE HIGH PLACES.
00:10:31.93\00:10:34.60
AND WHEN ISRAEL TOOK THE
PROMISED LAND, THEY CLEANED OFF
00:10:34.60\00:10:38.86
ALL THESE ALTARS TO PAGAN GODS
THAT WERE ON THE HIGH PLACES AND
00:10:38.86\00:10:42.26
THEY WOULD REPLACE THEM WITH
THEIR ALTARS BECAUSE THEY WOULD
00:10:42.26\00:10:44.83
WORSHIP GOD ON THE MOUNTAINS.
00:10:44.83\00:10:49.66
WHICH LEADS ME
TO THE NEXT POINT.
00:10:49.66\00:10:52.20
WORSHIP ON THE MOUNTAIN.
00:10:52.20\00:10:54.60
YOU KNOW, THERE'S AN INTERESTING
PROPHECY IN THE BOOK OF MICAH -
00:10:54.60\00:10:57.60
MICAH CHAPTER 4, JUST GO TO THE
FIRST VERSES IN MICAH CHAPTER 4
00:10:57.60\00:11:03.20
AND IT SAYS, "NOW, IT WILL COME
TO PASS IN THE LATTER DAYS THAT
00:11:03.20\00:11:07.10
THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD'S HOUSE
SHALL BE ESTABLISHED IN THE TOP
00:11:07.10\00:11:10.70
OF THE MOUNTAINS, AND WILL
BE EXALTED ABOVE THE HILLS; AND
00:11:10.70\00:11:15.06
PEOPLE SHALL FLOW TO IT.
00:11:15.06\00:11:16.96
MANY NATIONS WILL COME AND
SAY, 'COME, LET US GO UP TO THE
00:11:16.96\00:11:21.33
MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD, TO THE
HOUSE OF THE GOD OF JACOB; HE
00:11:21.33\00:11:25.60
WILL TEACH US HIS WAYS
AND WE WILL WALK IN HIS PATH.'
00:11:25.60\00:11:29.46
FOR OUT OF ZION A LAW SHALL GO
FORTH AND THE WORD OF THE LORD
00:11:29.46\00:11:33.46
FROM JERUSALEM."
00:11:33.46\00:11:35.96
YOU KNOW, GOD TELLS US THAT THIS
WORSHIP OFTEN HAPPENS UP THERE
00:11:35.96\00:11:41.30
ON THE MOUNTAINS.
00:11:41.30\00:11:43.20
YOU CAN FIND IN THE PSALMS,
'I WILL LOOK UNTO THE HILLS
00:11:43.20\00:11:48.33
FROM WHENCE COMETH MY HELP.'
NOT THAT WE PRAY TO THE MOUNTAIN
00:11:48.33\00:11:51.63
TOPS - WE'VE GOT PEOPLE IN OUR
CULTURE THAT ARE NATURALISTS AND
00:11:51.63\00:11:54.60
THEY PRAY TO THE MOUNTAINS -
BUT IT WAS BECAUSE THE TEMPLE
00:11:54.60\00:11:57.96
OF GOD WAS ON A MOUNTAIN,
THAT DAVID SAID, 'I WILL LOOK UP
00:11:57.96\00:12:01.53
UNTO THE HILLS FROM
WHENCE COMETH MY HELP.
00:12:01.53\00:12:03.80
MY HELPS COMES FROM THE
LORD THAT MADE THE HEAVEN
00:12:03.80\00:12:06.90
AND THE EARTH.' WE
DON'T WORSHIP MOUNTAINS.
00:12:06.90\00:12:11.90
MATTER OF FACT,
SOMETIMES MOUNTAINS IN THE BIBLE
00:12:11.90\00:12:13.63
SIGNIFY SIN.
00:12:13.63\00:12:16.33
YOU GOT THAT WOMAN IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 17 THAT SITS ON A BEAST
00:12:16.33\00:12:19.90
WITH SEVEN HEADS AND IT
SAYS THOSE SEVEN HEADS REPRESENT
00:12:19.90\00:12:22.80
SEVEN MOUNTAINS.
00:12:22.80\00:12:26.53
A MOUNTAIN, LET'S FACE
IT, IS A BIG PILE OF DIRT.
00:12:26.53\00:12:29.60
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:12:29.60\00:12:31.73
AND THAT COULD BE WHY THE
LORD TELLS US THAT'IF YOU'VE GOT
00:12:31.73\00:12:34.50
FAITH LIKE A GRAIN OF MUSTARD
SEED YOU CAN SAY UNTO THIS
00:12:34.50\00:12:37.03
MOUNTAIN, 'BE PLUCKED UP' AND IT
WILL BE CAST INTO THE DEPTHS OF
00:12:37.03\00:12:40.86
THE SEA.' I OFTEN
WONDER WHY JESUS SAID THAT.
00:12:40.86\00:12:45.10
IS THE LORD TELLING US THAT
WE ARE TO PRAY SO THAT WE COULD
00:12:45.10\00:12:50.10
MOVE MOUNTAINS?
00:12:50.10\00:12:51.83
NOT THE PHYSICAL MOUNTAINS,
BUT MOST PEOPLE FEEL A
00:12:51.83\00:12:55.80
MOUNTAIN-SIZED BURDEN
OF SIN THAT CRUSHES US.
00:12:55.80\00:13:00.70
AND WHEN WE HAVE FAITH,
GOD CAN MOVE THAT MOUNTAIN AND
00:13:00.70\00:13:03.83
CAST IT INTO THE SEA.
00:13:03.83\00:13:05.33
DOESN'T THE LORD SAY, 'I
WILL CAST THEIR SINS INTO THE
00:13:05.33\00:13:08.96
DEPTHS OF THE SEA.'?
00:13:08.96\00:13:10.23
SO WHAT'S THE MOUNTAIN
THAT WE NEED FAITH TO MOVE?
00:13:10.23\00:13:12.90
WHAT'S THAT PILE OF DIRT?
00:13:12.90\00:13:15.43
IT'S THE SIN IN OUR LIVES.
00:13:15.43\00:13:18.30
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE
ARE KILLED EVERY YEAR BECAUSE
00:13:18.30\00:13:20.96
THEY'RE DIGGING AND
THE DIRT FALLS ON THEM.
00:13:20.96\00:13:25.20
AND THEY GET DOWN IN SOME
DITCH OR TRENCH AND THE DIRT
00:13:25.20\00:13:29.36
FALLS ON THEM.
00:13:29.36\00:13:31.43
AND THERE ARE PEOPLE ALL
AROUND THE WORLD THAT SUFFOCATE
00:13:31.43\00:13:35.26
UNDER A MOUNTAIN OF
SIN - A MOUNTAIN OF DIRT -
00:13:35.26\00:13:38.83
EVERY DAY. AND IT TAKES
FAITH TO MOVE THAT MOUNTAIN.
00:13:38.83\00:13:42.83
THE LORD CAN DO THAT, AMEN?
00:13:42.83\00:13:45.40
SO THEY WOULD ALSO BUILD THEIR
TEMPLES UP ON THE MOUNTAINS.
00:13:45.40\00:13:49.50
YOU SEE THROUGH THE
BIBLE INTERCESSION HAPPENING
00:13:49.50\00:13:52.46
ON THE MOUNTAIN.
00:13:52.46\00:13:54.23
FOR INSTANCE, YOU LOOK
IN EXODUS 17, VERSE 10.
00:13:54.23\00:13:58.56
YOU REMEMBER WHEN THE LORD SAID,
THROUGH MOSES, THAT JOSHUA WAS
00:13:58.56\00:14:04.30
TO GO FIGHT THE AMALEKITES WHEN
THEY WERE ATTACKED FROM BEHIND?
00:14:04.30\00:14:07.63
MOSES SAID HE'D GO
UP ON THE MOUNTAIN.
00:14:07.63\00:14:10.20
THERE'S THAT
PICTURE BY JOE MANISCALCO.
00:14:10.20\00:14:12.56
THEY'D GO UP ON THE MOUNTAIN
AND HE WOULD FIGHT DOWN IN THE
00:14:12.56\00:14:15.60
VALLEY AND MOSES WOULD BE UP
ON THE MOUNTAIN WITH HIS HANDS
00:14:15.60\00:14:18.26
OUTSTRETCHED INTERCEDING THAT
THEY MIGHT OBTAIN THE VICTORY.
00:14:18.26\00:14:23.96
AND SO, THERE HE WAS ON
THE MOUNTAIN INTERCEDING.
00:14:23.96\00:14:26.56
DID JESUS STRETCH OUT
HIS HANDS ON MOUNT GOLGATHA
00:14:26.56\00:14:29.33
AND INTERCEDE FOR US?
00:14:29.33\00:14:31.86
SO WHEN MOSES' HANDS GOT TIRED
AND HE PUT HIS HANDS DOWN, WHAT
00:14:31.86\00:14:36.76
HAPPENED TO THE
BATTLE IN THE VALLEY?
00:14:36.76\00:14:40.13
JOSHUA AND THE OTHER
SOLDIERS BEGAN TO LOSE.
00:14:40.13\00:14:43.00
AND SO, THEY NOTICED, 'HEY,
WHEN YOU PUT YOUR HANDS DOWN
00:14:43.00\00:14:45.33
AND WHEN YOU REST YOUR
ARMS, THEY START TO LOSE.
00:14:45.33\00:14:47.53
SO KEEP YOUR ARMS UP.'
HE SAID, 'WELL I'M TRYING
00:14:47.53\00:14:49.83
BUT THEY'RE TIRED.' POOR
MOSES, CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW
00:14:49.83\00:14:53.46
BAD IT WOULD BE - IF
YOU KNOW YOU PUT YOUR HANDS
00:14:53.46\00:14:56.13
DOWN SOMEONE'S GOING TO DIE.
00:14:56.13\00:15:00.26
THE PRESSURE TO
KEEP YOUR HANDS UP?
00:15:00.26\00:15:04.26
THAT WOULD BE TERRIBLE.
00:15:04.26\00:15:06.13
IF YOU PHYSICALLY ARE TOO
WEAK, SOMEONE'S GOING TO DIE.
00:15:06.13\00:15:09.56
AND SO HE CALLED FOR HIS
BROTHER AND HUR - HE SAID,
00:15:09.56\00:15:11.73
'COME OVER AND HELP ME.
00:15:11.73\00:15:12.46
HOLD MY HANDS UP.' THEN
HE HELD HIS HANDS UP UNTIL
00:15:12.46\00:15:15.70
THEY GOT THE ULTIMATE
VICTORY IN THE VALLEY.
00:15:15.70\00:15:20.00
THAT MEANS THAT AS LONG AS THE
PEOPLE COULD LOOK UP ON THE HILL
00:15:20.00\00:15:24.10
AND SEE MOSES INTERCEDING,
THEY SAID, 'HE'S STILL THERE.'
00:15:24.10\00:15:27.56
KIND OF LIKE SOME SOLDIERS
- AS LONG AS THEY STILL SEE
00:15:27.56\00:15:29.63
THEIR FLAG ON THE
MOUNTAIN, THEY KEEP FIGHTING.
00:15:29.63\00:15:32.60
IT GAVE THEM COURAGE.
00:15:32.60\00:15:34.03
IT GAVE THEM MORALE AND HOPE.
00:15:34.03\00:15:36.63
AND WHEN WE SEE JESUS -
HE SAID, 'IF I AM LIFTED UP I
00:15:36.63\00:15:39.96
WILL DRAW.' THAT'S ONE REASON
HE WAS CRUCIFIED ON A HILL
00:15:39.96\00:15:43.70
- POSITION OF VISIBILITY.
00:15:43.70\00:15:47.10
CAN YOU SEE HIM, BY
FAITH, INTERCEDING FOR YOU?
00:15:47.10\00:15:50.50
EXCEPT NOW HE'S NOT ON
A MOUNTAIN HERE ON EARTH,
00:15:50.50\00:15:52.36
HE'S UP IN HEAVEN.
00:15:52.36\00:15:53.66
HE'S AS HIGH AS YOU CAN GET.
00:15:53.66\00:15:55.50
YOU CAN'T GET ANY
HIGHER THAN HEAVEN.
00:15:55.50\00:15:56.83
IT'S LIKE THE NORTH POLE.
00:15:56.83\00:15:57.90
ONCE YOU GET TO THE
NORTH POLE, IF YOU KEEP GOING,
00:15:57.90\00:15:59.63
YOU START GOING SOUTH.
00:15:59.63\00:16:03.26
THEY CALL
AUSTRALIA 'DOWN UNDER.'
00:16:03.26\00:16:06.26
BECAUSE WHEN YOU
LEAVE NORTH YOU GO DOWN.
00:16:06.26\00:16:10.56
WHEN YOU LEAVE
HEAVEN YOU GO DOWN.
00:16:10.56\00:16:13.23
EVERYTHING,
FROM HEAVEN, IS DOWN.
00:16:13.23\00:16:15.73
JESUS IS AS HIGH AS HE CAN BE
NOW, INTERCEDING FOR YOU AND ME,
00:16:15.73\00:16:19.46
RIGHT?
00:16:19.46\00:16:23.66
INTERCESSION ON A MOUNTAIN.
00:16:23.66\00:16:26.60
LUKE 23:34 "AND JESUS SAID,
'FATHER FORGIVE THEM, THEY DON'T
00:16:26.60\00:16:31.53
KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING."
00:16:31.53\00:16:32.30
ON MOUNT CALVARY DID
JESUS INTERCEDE FOR YOU AND ME?
00:16:32.30\00:16:35.50
THERE HE WAS PRAYING - HE'S
GOING TO BE CRUCIFIED AND HE'S
00:16:35.50\00:16:37.96
PRAYING FOR US, FOR OUR
FORGIVENESS, AT THAT TIME.
00:16:37.96\00:16:43.20
VICTORY ON THE MOUNTAIN.
00:16:43.20\00:16:46.10
JOSHUA 14, VERSES 12 AND 13 -
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER CALEB?
00:16:46.10\00:16:53.06
CALEB, WHEN HE FIRST, AS A SPY,
WENT THROUGH THE PROMISED LAND
00:16:53.06\00:16:56.20
AND HE SAW THE MOUNTAINS OF
HEBRON WHICH WERE VERY FERTILE
00:16:56.20\00:16:59.63
AND THEY HAD BEAUTIFUL SPRINGS,
EVEN DURING THE HARVEST TIME OF
00:16:59.63\00:17:03.20
THE YEAR - THEY WENT DURING
HARVEST BECAUSE REMEMBER THEY
00:17:03.20\00:17:05.36
BROUGHT THE GRAPES, SO
IT WAS DURING THE HARVEST.
00:17:05.36\00:17:07.43
AND HE SAW ALL THE SPRINGS.
00:17:07.43\00:17:08.40
HE SAW THE
ABUNDANCE OF THE CROPS.
00:17:08.40\00:17:10.40
HE SAID, 'THIS IS
WHERE I WANT TO GO.'
00:17:10.40\00:17:12.16
BUT BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF
THE FAITH IN THE PEOPLE OF GOD,
00:17:12.16\00:17:15.26
CALEB HAD TO WAIT 40 YEARS
BEFORE HE COULD GET INTO THE
00:17:15.26\00:17:20.33
PROMISED LAND AND EVEN AFTER
THEY ENTERED THE PROMISED LAND
00:17:20.33\00:17:22.70
HE HAD TO FIGHT FOR SEVERAL
YEARS BEFORE THEY COULD SORT OF
00:17:22.70\00:17:25.00
SUBDUE THE DIFFERENT ENEMIES.
00:17:25.00\00:17:27.06
THEN HE COMES TO HIS OLD BUDDY
JOSHUA - THE ONLY TWO OF THEM
00:17:27.06\00:17:29.26
STILL ALIVE THAT HAD LEFT EGYPT
20 YEARS OLD - OLDER THAN 20.
00:17:29.26\00:17:34.10
AND HE SAID, 'YOU REMEMBER THAT
WHEN YOU AND I, 40 YEARS AGO,
00:17:34.10\00:17:36.20
LOOKED AT THIS TERRITORY AND
I SAID, 'THIS IS WHERE I'M GOING
00:17:36.20\00:17:38.06
TO PITCH MY TENT.' NOW
LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS,
00:17:38.06\00:17:40.80
HE'S AN OLD MAN - 85 YEARS OLD.
00:17:40.80\00:17:42.56
HE SAYS NOW, JOSHUA 14, VERSE
12 'NOW THEREFORE, GIVE ME THIS
00:17:42.56\00:17:48.13
MOUNTAIN OF WHICH THE LORD SPOKE
TO ME IN THAT DAY, FOR YOU HEARD
00:17:48.13\00:17:51.50
IN THAT DAY HOW THE ANAKIM
WERE THERE' - THE GIANTS IN THE
00:17:51.50\00:17:54.16
MOUNTAIN - 'AND THE
CITIES WERE GREAT AND FORTIFIED.
00:17:54.16\00:17:58.10
AND IT MAY BE THE LORD WILL BE
WITH ME AND I SHALL BE ABLE TO
00:17:58.10\00:18:00.43
DRIVE THEM OUT AS
THE LORD HAS SAID.'"
00:18:00.43\00:18:03.53
AND JOSHUA BLESSED HIM AND
GAVE HEBRON TO CALEB, THE SON OF
00:18:03.53\00:18:07.36
JEPHUNNEH AS AN INHERITANCE."
00:18:07.36\00:18:09.70
HE GOT VICTORY ON THE MOUNTAIN
BECAUSE HE HAD FAITH AND TODAY
00:18:09.70\00:18:13.93
- THAT'S WHY THE JEWS ARE IN
ISRAEL - THAT'S WHERE THE WORD
00:18:13.93\00:18:16.46
'JEW' COMES FROM - JUDAH.
00:18:16.46\00:18:18.13
CALEB WAS FROM THE TRIBE OF
JUDAH AND BECAUSE THIS OLD MAN
00:18:18.13\00:18:21.33
HAD FAITH THAT GOD WOULD BE WITH
HIM, HE WAS ABLE TO TAKE ON THE
00:18:21.33\00:18:24.60
GIANTS IN THE
MOUNTAINS AND BE VICTORIOUS.
00:18:24.60\00:18:28.10
OH, BY THE WAY, DID JESUS
HAVE VICTORY ON HIS MOUNTAIN?
00:18:28.10\00:18:31.26
WHEN HE SAID, 'IT IS FINISHED.'
WAS THAT A DECLARATION OF DEFEAT
00:18:31.26\00:18:35.63
OR VICTORY?
00:18:35.63\00:18:38.96
SOMETIMES THERE'S
DEATH ON THE MOUNTAIN.
00:18:38.96\00:18:41.10
DEUTERONOMY 32,
VERSES 48 AND 50.
00:18:41.10\00:18:44.30
"THEN THE LORD SPOKE TO MOSES
THAT VERY SAME DAY" - HE'S STILL
00:18:44.30\00:18:46.93
PREACHING, HE'S IN HIS PRIME
- 'HIS NATURAL FORCE WAS NOT
00:18:46.93\00:18:49.73
ABATED, HIS EYE WAS NOT DIM.'
HE SAID, "GO UP THIS MOUNTAIN OF
00:18:49.73\00:18:55.13
THE ABARIM, MOUNT NEBO, WHICH IS
IN THE LAND OF MOAB ACROSS FROM
00:18:55.13\00:18:58.80
JERICHO; VIEW THE LAND
OF CANAAN," - THERE YOU HAVE
00:18:58.80\00:19:02.06
ANOTHER VISION ON THE MOUNTAIN
- "WHICH I WILL GIVE TO THE
00:19:02.06\00:19:04.73
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AS A
POSSESSION AND DIE ON THE
00:19:04.73\00:19:07.73
MOUNTAIN WHICH YOU ASCEND, AND
BE GATHERED TO YOUR PEOPLE, JUST
00:19:07.73\00:19:11.56
AS AARON YOUR
BROTHER DIED ON MOUNT HOR."
00:19:11.56\00:19:14.33
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:19:14.33\00:19:16.50
WELL, JESUS ASKS US TO TAKE
UP OUR CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM.
00:19:16.50\00:19:20.46
WHERE DID JESUS TAKE HIS CROSS?
00:19:20.46\00:19:23.26
TO MOUNT CALVARY - GOLGATHA.
00:19:23.26\00:19:26.86
AND WHAT DID HE DO UP THERE?
00:19:26.86\00:19:28.80
HE TOOK HIS CROSS TO
HIS EXECUTION - TO A PLACE
00:19:28.80\00:19:31.30
WHERE HE DIED.
00:19:31.30\00:19:32.83
HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE.
00:19:32.83\00:19:34.80
DID MOSES DIE RELUCTANTLY OR DID
HE FOLLOW THE FATHER'S WILL TO
00:19:34.80\00:19:39.23
CLIMB A MOUNTAIN AND DIE?
00:19:39.23\00:19:42.16
I MEAN, MOST OF US WOULD
GO KICKING AND SCREAMING.
00:19:42.16\00:19:45.63
BUT HE WILLINGLY
CLIMBED A MOUNTAIN AND DIED.
00:19:45.63\00:19:49.06
BECAUSE HE SAID,
'THIS IS GOD'S WILL.'
00:19:49.06\00:19:52.40
WHEN YOU DECIDE TO BE A
CHRISTIAN, YOU'RE REALLY SAYING,
00:19:52.40\00:19:54.80
'I'M GOING TO TAKE MY CROSS AND
I'M GOING TO FOLLOW JESUS AND
00:19:54.80\00:19:56.83
I'M GOING TO DIE TO SELF.'
AND, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THAT'S
00:19:56.83\00:20:00.50
LIKE CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN.
00:20:00.50\00:20:02.73
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE TALKS
ABOUT MOUNTAINS OF REFUGE.
00:20:02.73\00:20:07.26
MARK 13, VERSE 14 "BUT
WHEN YOU SEE THE ABOMINATION OF
00:20:07.26\00:20:12.80
DESOLATION, SPOKEN OF BY DANIEL
THE PROPHET, STANDING WHERE IT
00:20:12.80\00:20:16.56
OUGHT NOT (LET HIM THAT READS
UNDERSTAND) LET THOSE THAT BE IN
00:20:16.56\00:20:20.90
JUDEA FLEE INTO THE
VALLEYS" - WHAT DOES HE SAY?
00:20:20.90\00:20:25.76
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT SAYS?
00:20:25.76\00:20:27.53
"FLEE INTO THE MOUNTAINS.'
AND THEN YOU READ IT AGAIN IN
00:20:27.53\00:20:29.20
LUKE 21:21.
00:20:29.20\00:20:30.43
THAT'S EASY TO REMEMBER,
LUKE 21:21 "LET THOSE THAT ARE
00:20:30.43\00:20:33.26
IN JUDEA FLEE INTO THE
MOUNTAINS. LET THEM THAT ARE ON
00:20:33.26\00:20:36.50
THE MIDST OF IT DEPART, AND
LET NOT THEM THAT ARE IN THE
00:20:36.50\00:20:39.43
COUNTRIES ENTER THERE UNTO."
00:20:39.43\00:20:41.80
YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY SOLDIERS
FIGHT FOR THE HIGH GROUND.
00:20:41.80\00:20:44.73
IT'S - THEIR DEFENSE
WILL BE THE MOUNTAINS.
00:20:44.73\00:20:49.50
OF COURSE THE BIBLE, WE
MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING,
00:20:49.50\00:20:51.63
TALKS ABOUT HAVING
MOUNTAIN-MOVING FAITH.
00:20:51.63\00:20:55.30
'I SAY TO YOU, IF YOU'VE GOT
FAITH LIKE A MUSTARD SEE YOU CAN
00:20:55.30\00:20:59.13
SAY UNTO THIS MOUNTAIN,
'BE CAST INTO THE SEA.'
00:20:59.13\00:21:01.63
AND IF YOU DON'T DOUBT IN
YOUR HEART BUT YOU BELIEVE THOSE
00:21:01.63\00:21:04.63
THINGS THAT YOU SAY
WILL BE DONE, YOU WILL HAVE
00:21:04.63\00:21:07.50
WHATEVER YOU ASK.
00:21:07.50\00:21:09.00
THEREFORE I SAY TO YOU 'WHAT
THINGS YOU ASK FOR WHEN YOU
00:21:09.00\00:21:11.76
PRAY, BELIEVE THAT YOU RECEIVE
THEM AND YOU WILL HAVE THEM.'
00:21:11.76\00:21:15.33
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE WHAT YOU
CAN DO WITH GOD'S HELP, FRIENDS.
00:21:15.33\00:21:19.86
YOU CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS, AMEN?
00:21:19.86\00:21:23.06
NOW, BEFORE I TIE THIS OFF,
I WANTED TO SHARE SOMETHING.
00:21:23.06\00:21:27.03
THIS IS A LOT IF INTERESTING
TRIVIA UNLESS YOU MAKE IT REAL
00:21:27.03\00:21:29.26
AND APPLY IT -
TALKING ABOUT MOUNTAINS.
00:21:29.26\00:21:33.13
YOU'VE PROBABLY
CLIMBED UP STAIRCASES.
00:21:33.13\00:21:35.03
YOU'VE CLIMBED BEFORE.
00:21:35.03\00:21:36.00
YOU KNOW IT CAN GET TOUGH.
00:21:36.00\00:21:38.06
AND SOMETIMES YOU THINK YOU'RE
NOT GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE TOP.
00:21:38.06\00:21:40.53
I THINK ALL OF US HAVE DIFFERENT
MOUNTAINS THAT WE ARE CLIMBING.
00:21:40.53\00:21:45.90
SOME OF YOU ARE
BATTLING GETTING YOUR DEGREE
00:21:45.90\00:21:49.06
- YOU WONDER IF YOU'RE EVER
GOING TO DO IT. AND MAYBE YOU'VE
00:21:49.06\00:21:50.63
PASSED OR FAILED SOME TESTS AND
IT'S LIKE A MOUNTAIN YOU WANT TO
00:21:50.63\00:21:54.56
CONQUER. YOU JUST KEEP ON GOING.
00:21:54.56\00:21:58.20
YOU TRUST, YOU
PLOD, ONE DAY AT A TIME.
00:21:58.20\00:22:01.06
FOR SOME OF YOU, YOU MAY BE
FIGHTING SOME MOUNTAINS IN YOUR
00:22:01.06\00:22:03.60
HEALTH AND YOU WONDER - JUST, IT
SEEMS LIKE IT'S CRUSHING YOU -
00:22:03.60\00:22:08.20
YOU WONDER IF YOU'RE EVER GOING
TO GET TO THE - THROUGH THE
00:22:08.20\00:22:10.06
CLOUDS INTO THE SUNSHINE AGAIN.
00:22:10.06\00:22:12.43
YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP ON PLODDING.
00:22:12.43\00:22:13.73
YOU CAN MOVE
MOUNTAINS WITH FAITH.
00:22:13.73\00:22:15.96
FOR SOME OF YOU, YOUR
MOUNTAINS MIGHT BE YOUR FAITH.
00:22:15.96\00:22:19.96
SOME OF YOU IT MIGHT BE, YOU
KNOW, FINANCIAL MOUNTAINS THAT
00:22:19.96\00:22:24.53
ARE CRUSHING YOU RIGHT NOW.
00:22:24.53\00:22:25.83
IT MIGHT BE YOUR MARRIAGE
AND YOU'RE JUST WONDERING,
00:22:25.83\00:22:29.26
'HOW CAN I EVER GET TO THE TOP?
00:22:29.26\00:22:31.83
WILL IT ALWAYS BE THIS WAY?
00:22:31.83\00:22:34.80
AND I THINK THE ENCOURAGEMENT
FROM THE LORD IS THAT HE WAS
00:22:34.80\00:22:38.06
VICTORIOUS ON THE
MOUNTAIN, YOU CAN BE TOO.
00:22:38.06\00:22:41.83
WELL, THESE MOUNTAINS THAT
SOMETIMES INTIMIDATE US IN THIS
00:22:41.83\00:22:43.96
LIFE WILL NOT ALWAYS BE THERE.
00:22:43.96\00:22:47.00
WHEN JESUS COMES, THE BIBLE
TELLS US, THE MOUNTAINS WON'T
00:22:47.00\00:22:50.50
EVEN STAND STILL.
00:22:50.50\00:22:52.20
THE MOUNTAINS WILL FALL.
00:22:52.20\00:22:54.53
PSALM 46, VERSE 2 "THEREFORE WE
WILL NOT FEAR, EVEN THOUGH THE
00:22:54.53\00:22:58.80
EARTH BE REMOVED, AND THE
MOUNTAINS BE CARRIED INTO THE
00:22:58.80\00:23:01.83
MIDST OF THE SEA."
00:23:01.83\00:23:03.96
JEREMIAH 4:24 "I BEHELD
THE MOUNTAINS, AND INDEED THEY
00:23:03.96\00:23:07.20
TREMBLED, AND ALL THE
HILLS MOVED BACK AND FORTH."
00:23:07.20\00:23:10.26
- AND THAT LEADS UP
TO THIS LAST EXAMPLE -
00:23:10.26\00:23:13.46
'THEN THE SKY RECEDED AS A
SCROLL WHEN IT IS ROLLED UP AND
00:23:13.46\00:23:17.00
EVERY MOUNTAIN AND ISLAND -
EVERY MOUNTAIN AND ISLAND WAS
00:23:17.00\00:23:20.93
MOVED OUT OF ITS PLACE.'
BY THE WAY, ALL ISLANDS ARE
00:23:20.93\00:23:24.66
MOUNTAINS, THEY'RE JUST
SURROUNDED BY WATER, RIGHT?
00:23:24.66\00:23:30.80
'EVERY ISLAND AND MOUNTAIN IS
MOVED OUT OF ITS PLACE AND THE
00:23:30.80\00:23:36.10
KINGS OF THE EARTH AND THE
GREAT MEN AND THE RICH MEN AND
00:23:36.10\00:23:38.46
COMMANDERS AND MIGHTY MEN AND
EVERY SLAVE MAN AND EVERY FREE
00:23:38.46\00:23:41.00
MAN MAY HIDE THEMSELVES IN
THE CAVES AND THE ROCKS AND THE
00:23:41.00\00:23:44.63
MOUNTAINS AND THEY SAY TO THE
MOUNTAINS AND THE ROCKS, 'FALL
00:23:44.63\00:23:47.93
ON US AND HIDE US FROM THE FACE
OF HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE
00:23:47.93\00:23:51.73
AND FROM THE WRATH OF THE LAMB.
00:23:51.73\00:23:54.33
FOR THE GREAT DAY OF HIS
WRATH HAS COME AND WHO IS ABLE
00:23:54.33\00:23:57.56
TO STAND?' SO, EVEN
THOUGH THE MOUNTAINS
00:23:57.56\00:24:00.63
ARE MOVED OUT OF THEIR PLACE, 'A
THOUSAND MAY FALL AT YOUR SIDE,
00:24:00.63\00:24:04.60
TEN THOUSAND AT YOUR RIGHT
HAND,' DO YOU NEED TO BE AFRAID
00:24:04.60\00:24:06.66
IF YOU'RE IN THE LORD'S HANDS?
00:24:06.66\00:24:09.60
THE ONLY MOUNTAIN YOU CAN TRUST
IN THIS WORLD THAT'S GOING TO
00:24:09.60\00:24:11.86
SURVIVE, IS CALVARY - IS IF YOU
TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND YOU CLIMB
00:24:11.86\00:24:16.60
THAT MOUNTAIN WITH JESUS, THAT'S
WHEN YOU'LL HAVE THE VICTORY,
00:24:16.60\00:24:20.10
YOU'LL HAVE THE INTERCESSION,
YOU'LL HAVE THE REVELATION,
00:24:20.10\00:24:23.50
YOU'LL HAVE THE GLORY, YOU'LL
HAVE THE WORSHIP - EVERYTHING WE
00:24:23.50\00:24:25.40
TALKED ABOUT HAPPENED THERE WITH
JESUS THAT DAY ON THE MOUNTAIN.
00:24:25.40\00:24:28.73
SO, WHAT DO YOU SAY FRIENDS,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO MOUNTAIN
00:24:28.73\00:24:30.76
CLIMBING WITH JESUS?
00:24:30.76\00:24:33.03
YOU TIE OFF TO
HIM AND YOU'RE SAFE.
00:24:33.03\00:24:35.40
THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THEY
TELL YOU WHEN YOU GO MOUNTAIN
00:24:35.40\00:24:37.26
CLIMBING IS YOU WANT TO BE
PAIRED UP WITH SOMEBODY THAT
00:24:37.26\00:24:40.40
KNOWS HOW TO SECURE A ROPE.
00:24:40.40\00:24:43.66
AND IF YOU ARE YOKED WITH CHRIST
AND YOU'RE MOUNTAIN CLIMBING,
00:24:43.66\00:24:46.70
HE WON'T LOSE YOU.
00:24:46.70\00:24:47.70
AMEN?
