A WELL OF TRUTH
MOUNTAIN MOVERS
Are you, am I, a mountain mover? Greetings dear friends and partners and welcome back to A Well of Truth. Are you, am I, a Zerubbabel of our day? As we prepare to move forward, please take a moment and share this teaching as widely as possible by every means available to you. Thank you so much for sharing. Those who share fill a vital role in this ministry by expanding our reach with the Word of God. You know you can print these out as resource material for your next Sunday School, Home Group, even your next sermon.
The Zerubbabel is am talking about in Scripture was assigned by God to have a role in rebuilding the Temple. In our day we would say in rebuilding the body of Christ. The body of Christ is torn into hundreds, I am told even thousands of different denominations. Who with a straight face and good conscience think that is the will, the plan of God? Hopefully no one!
Zechariah 4:6-7 (AMP)
6 Then he said to me, This [addition of the bowl to the candlestick, causing it to yield a ceaseless supply of oil from the olive trees] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of Whom the oil is a symbol], says the Lord of hosts.
7 For who are you, O great mountain [of human obstacles]? Before Zerubbabel [who with Joshua had led the return of the exiles from Babylon and was undertaking the rebuilding of the temple, before him] you shall become a plain [a mere molehill]! And he shall bring forth the finishing gable stone [of the new temple] with loud shoutings of the people, crying, Grace, grace to it!
We are all Zerubbabel’s if we accept the call. We also have an endless supply of oil, the Holy Spirit, to move the mountains that seek to hinder the building and purifying of the Church, body of Christ. If we will believe, doubt not, and command the mountain to move as led of the Holy Spirit the mountain has but one choice, that choice is to move. Not in a month or a year but now, right now. Let’s refresh ourselves on Mark 11:22-24.
Mark 11:22-24 (KJV)
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Number one, we must be fully persuaded that God will move the mountain, whatever it may be, at our command. This is not a willy nilly thing but a led of the Holy Spirit thing. We must speak directly to the obstacle; we are not to pray and whine to God. We must not doubt, and believe even while we still see the mountain that it is gone. We must be like our Heavenly Father.
Romans 4:17 (KJV)
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Dear ones, if you are waiting on God to do something you will never see the desired thing. God is waiting on us to speak, not beg and whine, or even ask Him to do it. He will do it for us, at the sound of our voice, His Words in our mouths. If you don’t like that your controversy is not with me, it is with God, with the Scripture. I have given you one witness in the Mark 11:22-24 reference, here is a second, third, and fourth witness to this Truth (Bold added).
Job 22:28 (KJV)
28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
Isaiah 45:11 (KJV)
11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
Psalm 8:6 (KJV)
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
Meditate the following passages. We must stand strong as called, as the sons of God, as the ones with the authority and the Power of God to bring all the will of God to pass in the earth. This Word is not just for that people, the Temple at that time, but our individual temples (our bodies) and the Temple at large, the body of Christ which is in tatters.
Haggai 2:4 (KJV)
4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:
Haggai 2:6-9 (KJV)
6 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
Isn’t this worth putting our houses in order and bringing the will of God as it is in Heaven into the earth, bringing days of Heaven upon the earth as commanded of God.
Lord willing, I will return with fresh Truth from the Throne.
2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Receive the blessing in Jesus’ name!
Numbers 6:24-26 (MSG)
24 GOD bless you and keep you,
25 GOD smile on you and gift you,
26 GOD look you full in the face and make you prosper.
