Mountains

I want to share another definition with you in relation to mountains.
Mountains (web): "a land mass that rises above its surroundings and is higher than a hill".

In Hebrew it's the word "har" which is a range of hills; mount, promotion [syn: advancement, elevation, forward, raised].

Greek (or'os) to rise or rear, as lifting itself above the plain.

Mountain is spiritually a high place; a place higher than your surroundings!

We are surrounded by many evils: things and people that can cause physical harm; all kinds of sicknesses and diseases; torments; worries; frustrations; poverty; etc. But in CHRIST we can rise above any attacks the devil may bring our way. Because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4)

Isaiah 57:13 states, "But he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain."

When Jesus taught the disciples what we call the beatitudes, he went up into a mountain, a place "above" where they were! (Matthew 5:1).

That's why we need more than just INFORMATION about the Word of God, but we also need REVELATION!

Mountains are high places, and they are KINGDOMS!!!

Matthew 17:1-3 tells of when Jesus was transfigured before Peter, James and John. He took them up into a "HIGH MOUNTAIN APART" and appeared to them in light, which was the KINGDOM!!

Jesus said in Matthew 16:28, "There be some standing here which shall not taste of death, till you see the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom!"

Peter, James and John saw it in Matthew 17:1-3!! Jesus took the "apart" from where they WERE to a HIGHER place!! In that higher place, they could truly SEE HIM AS HE WAS! He was LIGHT! The Kingdom is LIGHT [knowledge, wisdom, dominion, authority, righteousness, power, joy, peace!]. HALLELUYAH!!

(1 Corinthians 4:20) "For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in POWER"! Meaning, "dunamis" {force, miraculous power, mighty work, strength, ability, abundance!}.

It is the Power from above or of God working in us to overcome any obstacle!

(Romans 14:17) For the KINGDOM of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy IN THE HOLY GHOST!

It shall come to pass in the last days, that the MOUNTAIN of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the MOUNTAINS, and shall be EXALTED ABOVE the hills; and all NATIONS shall flow into it!! (Isaiah 2:2)

THIS IS TALKING ABOUT THE KINGDOM, WHICH IS A PLACE OF POWER!!!!!

In Daniel Chapter 2, Daniel speakes of a stone cut out without hands which smote the image, and the stone became a GREAT MOUNTAIN, and filled the whole earth. This is the MOUNTAIN OR KINGDOM that the nations are now flowing into!! THIS MOUNTAIN OR KINGDOM is Jesus Christ Himself! He WAS and IS the STONE! "The STONE which the builders rejected, the same IS BECOME the HEAD of the corner" (Matthew 21:42)(Mark 12:10)! He WAS the KINGDOM of GOD walking around on two feet!! CHRIST is the MOUNTAIN or KINGDOM that the nations are NOW flowing into!!

The kingdom is NOT OFF BEYOND THE BLUE, the KINGDOM is in you!! Luke 17:21 "Neither shall they say, Lo here or lo there: for BEHOLD, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU!!
Those that the KINGDOM is in, and they are in the KINGDOM, it is because they have been RAISED, ADVANCED, ELEVATED to a higher place in God than those that reject the REVELATION TRUTHS OF GOD! And that places them on TOP of the MOUNTAIN, or shall I say, "ON TOP OF THE MOUNT ZION"!!!!!!!!! A HIGH PLACE IN GOD!!! (Revelation 14)! HALLELUYAH!!!
