TOPIC: TEAR THE
MOUNTAIN DOWN
TEXT: "Behold, I
am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which destroyest all
the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll
thee down from the
rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain (Jeremiah 51:25).
Jeremiah 51 describes
how God would rise up against Babylon. While this chapter speaks of literal
ancient Babylon, Revelation 17 depicts its symbolic sense, which is that
Babylon always represents sin and resistance to God. Jeremiah 51:25 says God
will burn the mountain of Babylon.
Then in Zechariah 4:7, the prophet also tells
the mountain that it will become a plain, meaning that it will be destroyed.
Mountains always speak of something considered immovable, so God destroying it
makes the statement that all resistance must bow to Him. The next question is,
what method did God use to destroy this resistant mountain? Zechariah 4:7 says
the Lord instructed Zerubbabel to shout at the mountain and cry grace to it.
This brings more understanding to when Jesus told His disciples they could literally
speak to the mountain to remove it (see Mark 11:23-24). He was showing that
they had the power to tear the mountain down or remove resistance by speaking. You
have the ability speak to the mountain resisting you. It may be tempting to
just keep looking at it and give in to worry, but Jesus gave you the power to
speak to it. Go ahead, shout and tear the mountain down!
WORD CONFESSION
I am an evidence that
Jesus Christ is alive and at work. I declare this day that I am an overcomer,
every mountain is become a plain and every valley is exalted my crooked paths
are made straight in Jesus name
