For Every Mountain

For every mountain you've brought me overFor every trial you've seen me through -Kurt Carr 

Ahhh...mountains. We've all been there. We want to get over our mountains in our lives. But we may appear stuck in our valleys or struggling through our climbs.

We have seasons in our lives where we are in the valley or on top of a mountain. I have spent so much of my life in the valley. God gave me a visual of what it means to be in your valley with a giant mountain right in front of you. I would like to share with you how it relates to the spiritual realm :) 

Valleys are our low points. It's the hard times when all we see are the obstacles in front of us. Those obstacles are our mountains. The mountain is what we have to climb to get out of our valley. Too often we see our situation and not the hope and future God has in store for us (Jeremiah 29:11). I believe that God has already moved that mountain on our behalf. God knows what is over that mountain.There lies the fulfillment of his promises. Blessing are yours, just keep climbing! But let me tell you, straight up. It's not an easy climb, but once you get to the top of your mountain you'll realize that it was all so worth it. 

Now, don't get overwhelmed. You will get overwhelmed if you focus on the challenge in front of you and not on God. To get out of the valley, we have to keep moving forward and seeking God's face. We may think our mountain is too high or too much for us to climb, and it is without the proper equipment: God. We can't find our peace, deliverance, health, or whatever is on top of your mountain without God's help. 

Philippians 4:13- I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. 

God is our rope, harness, ice ax. Everything we need to get out of our valleys. While it's hard being in the valley, get ready because climbing your mountains is tough too. It's almost like the devil is doing all he can to keep you in your valley or in a stagnant season. But keep climbing! Keep striving for the breaking of your soul ties, removal of your depression, freedom from addictions, or loosing of demonic attacks. Beware that when you climb a mountain, it gets harder the closer you get to the top. The air gets thinner, it gets colder, the elements become more hazardous. You see, the the closer you get to defeating your obstacle the harder it may appear to be reach your salvation. It may seem like the devil is throwing everything at you to get you out of alignment. 

Understand that the closer you get reaching your full potential and living in Christ's purpose for you life the harder the devil is going to try to make sure you don't reach the top of your mountain. The devil attacks those who threaten his kingdom. But hold onto your life rope! The closer you get to the top the more you need to hang onto Jesus. Keep climbing and know that every mountain in your life that God has already brought you through it if you keep your eyes on him. 

Whatever you're struggling with, Jesus already died and rose again for it. 

Love,
