Taking the Mountain

Greetings in the name of the

Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Today I'd like to talk about Caleb.

When the children of Israel finally got

to enter into the promised land, Caleb

requested that his inheritance be the

mountain, where the strong people

dwelt. Not only were the people

strong, but their cities were fenced

and great. Caleb wasn't looking to

settle for an easy part of the promised

land, and this is a type of something

Spiritual.

Who are the pillars in the church?

Who are the strong and wise ones

who guide the saints? Who are they

that can be counted on to stand up

for truth no matter what the situation?

They are those among us who have

decided to take the mountain.

Remember, as Israel inherited the

natural Kingdom of God, we are heirs

to the Spiritual Kingdom of God.

My friends, there are high places in the

Kingdom today, but they take an extra

effort to obtain. In order to claim the

mountains of the God we will have to

face obsticles and enemies of

extraordinary power and might. However,

if we are like Caleb, and our hearts desire

the mighty places in the promise land,

we will like him be given strength that

is beyond what we would naturally

have, and like him we can claim the

mountain.

And finally, when we do claim the

mountain, then we are in a strong

place in the kingdom of God and we

are able to stand firm enough and

defend it well enough to be the

pillars in the Spiritual promised land.

God Bless!
