Jesus said in 1 Corinthians 13:2 "If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing."
The other day, a person of good intent sent to me prophetic words that spoke of looming hardships and rising mountains coming up on my path. Warning! Warning! Will Robinson. Warning! Sorry not sorry about the Lost in Space flashback ;) And if you fall for this well then thats where you will be. Lost in Space. First of all... God wishes no one hardships. The Holy Spirit brings no mountains to your life. He was sent to remind us about Christ and empower us to live in the light of the gospel. The Holy Spirit “speaks” to us both for our good and to God’s glory. He reminds us what Jesus taught, to glorify Christ, to show us the truth and to shed light on our sins so that we can ask forgiveness and become closer to God. The mountains are already there and He wishes to walk with you through them as well as up and over them.
I hear the song "Go tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere. Go tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born..." Not only born to save you but died on the cross for you to have eternal life and to know true love.
This is called The Valley and it as the Holy Spirit showed me in a dream as to just how "we" would handle this "good word" that I was given and re-gifted back into the basket at the feet of Jesus.He said in in Isaiah 52:7 "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion "Your God reigns!" He will walk your mountains with you. And it offers a beautiful view.
Looking at life while standing in the valleys the mountains look huge. Looming. Casting shadows. Making your path shaded and causing stumbles. And sometimes fall. And what should seem to so easy seems pretty darn hard and hope seems muted. But it is not true. It is a deception.
In the book of Isaiah 49:11 it says "And I will make all my mountains a road, and my highways shall be raised up."
Go! Grab His Hand and let Him show you the way. And do not let go! Live the life God gave you and don't settle for less than good thoughts.
So with that, I leave you for the moment with this thought...
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. from Philippians 4:8
