“I WILL TURN ALL MY MOUNTAINS INTO ROADS” (Isaiah 49:11)

“I WILL TURN ALL MY MOUNTAINS INTO ROADS”  (Isaiah 49:11)

“They shall neither hunger nor thirst neither heat nor sun shall strike them; For He who has mercy on them will lead them, Even by the springs of water He will guide them. I will make each of My Mountains a road, and My highways shall be elevated.” Isaiah 49:10-11 (NKJV)

“Sing, O heavens! Be joyful, O earth! And break out in singing, O mountains! For the Lord has comforted His people, and will have mercy on His afflicted.” “If you are a chosen vessel unto (God,) to bear (His) name before the Gentiles, and kings..” Acts 9:15 (KJV)

My friends the Mercy and grace of God has laid out a direction for our lives, a Road map that leads to Calvary which places before us the HEAVY LOAD and RESPONSIBILITY of the cross that Christ willingly carried to His death.

“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” Matt. 16:24 (NIV) So many situations, and circumstances each day try and keep us from getting to the top of that Mountain especially while trying to carry a cross at the same time we climb.

But our God’s promise that “He WILL TURN ALL OF OUR MOUNTAINS INTO ROADS” and My highways shall be elevated and each Mountain and stretch of highway on this Journey Christ has placed us on leads in only one direction, to His pure and Holy Kingdom.

As we enter those pearly gates I see our Savior with outstretched hands telling each of us I will take that now as he replaces our cross with the wings of angels, and a “white robe which is a symbol of purity which our Character is now.

And as pure as the one who Gave it all for our Salvation “and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”1 John 3:2 (NKJV)

And a palm branch is then placed in our hands “which in Israel was a symbol of national liberation and blessing, and attended the First Coming of the King to Jerusalem” Jesus Christ. John 12:13 (NIV)

I can now only imagine in the case of the redeemed, it represents our liberation from the god of this world, a liberation for all eternity, at Christ second coming as he places a Crown on our head that represents the suffering of times past. As we remember the promises of His word while on earth that states.

“Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” Rev. 2:10-11(NKJV)

My friends that verse speaks for itself. Life eternal as we will forever be honored worthy “For (our) sake we (were) killed all day long; (for) we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

”Yet in all these things we are (now) more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For (we are now) persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, (nor anything that was ever created was) able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:36-39 (NKJV)

Once again I lay it out before you. A vision that gives each of us something to work towards but IT MUST BECOME A PASSION. A PASSION to give up everything in accordance with God’s will, and His precepts. Friends, now is the time to turn our life completely over to God’s Spirit.

As we seek the Presence of Christ, and allow Him to  transforms our Character in the very likeness of our Savior while preparing us for our new home for “Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.” Heb. 9:28 (NIV)

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
