If we ever want to move the mountain that is blocking our progress, if we are ever going to advance around or through it, we must hold onto the ground we have taken and continue to move, up and forward.
The word of God places us in a mountain-moving position, a position of victory, and our enlightened spiritual condition improves our stamina and holding power. Amen!
Strengthening our position sometimes requires overcoming a very strong headwind. Once I witnessed a flock of birds trying to fly against a strong wind that had kicked up, what I noticed was, some fought and fought against the wind and made it to a billboard on the side of the road. They found a resting place while others were swept away by the wind, hopefully not to their demise.
What was revealed to me out of this occurrence was that as we become stronger in our belief in the word of God, we take more and more ground, we hold our place by fighting the good fight of faith, then we fight on to arrive at a temporary resting place. The keyword is temporary; we have weathered the current storm by taking some Word and holding our ground. Amen!
As we continue our plight we must examine our resting places, analyze the steps that allowed our strengthening, and continue to prepare for our next, wind, or mountain.
We take control of our thinking by renewing our minds daily, looking deeply into the mysteries of God, His plan that was previously hidden but is now made plain to us in the word of God.
Holding our ground by faith, not what our eye has seen, not what our ear has heard, not even what we have imagined, but what our heart has gravitated towards, the pull of Love. Amen!
This grounding love is found in God’s word, His love story to and for us, His victorious plan for us, His mountain-moving, wind ceasing, water walking, we can do this by faith because it’s in my heart story. Amen!
The love of God has in it our holding power, we take hold of Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, we stand on His promises, we say what He says about our situations, we take Him at His word, and we dig in and hold our ground.
God is an earth-shaking, like a mighty wave breaking, gale-force wind blowing, mighty love bestowing, wonderful, peaceful, quiet voice that takes reverence to hear, King of King’s who is my Rock!
How do all of these mighty and quickening powers come on us? By taking some of God’s Holy words and holding our ground.
I read a quote from another faith minister that went like this; “If you knew what was on the other side of your mountain, you would move it”. Mountain moving faith comes by taking a little ground and holding onto it, taking a little more ground and holding onto it, then remembering the Word that is holding you in place and stepping out on it.
Faith is the grounding place that is right smack dab in the middle of; “life is hard and God is good”. So faith is the substance that keeps us grounded! Amen!
I am going to release to you the greatest power that is available in the world today; “the power of choice”. The power of choice, by faith, is not a decision deducted from the facts around us, faith is not an instinct and it’s certainly not a feeling. Amen!
Faith is a choice, taking the word of God and believing it is the first step in holding your ground, the more ground you take the greater your revelation becomes, at this point the mountains seem to shrink. As you step towards the mountain you must maintain your foothold which is keeping one foot on faith and one foot on love. Amen!
God spoke that to my heart when I first started out on my faith journey, it always seems to be my launching pad as well as my grounding rod. “Keep one foot on faith and one foot on love”.
So I ask you today to keep one foot on faith (you believing you receive) and one foot on love (God’s Word).
Take some love and hold onto your faith! The same as take some Word and hold your ground.
