“YOU HAVE DWELT LONG ENOUGH AT THIS MOUNTAIN. TURN AND TAKE YOUR JOURNEY”
“YOU HAVE DWELT LONG ENOUGH AT THIS MOUNTAIN. TURN AND TAKE YOUR JOURNEY” Deu 1:6 (KJV) The Lord telling The 
Israelites: that mountain you are at will not move, you are going to have to move it, if you want to get to the promise land.
“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” Mark 11:23 (NKJV) As a Child of God, God is also telling us “THAT WE HAVE DWELT LONG ENOUGH AT THAT MOUNTAIN” trying to get over it.
Friends when we are trying to get over difficult situation and circumstances in our life, that is when you look behind you and see you have come this far by faith so I must continue. Then grab on to the hand of Jesus and don’t let go.
”Every heart will be tested, every character developed. We are too quickly discouraged, and earnestly
cry for the trial to be removed from us, when we should plead for patience to endure and grace to overcome. Our heavenly Father measures and weighs every trial before He permits it to come upon the believer. He considers the circumstances and the strength of the one who is to stand under the proving and test of God, and He never permits the temptations to be greater than the capacity of resistance.
If the soul is overborne, the person overpowered, this can never be charged to God, as failing to give strength in grace, but the one tempted was not vigilant and prayerful and did not appropriate by faith the provisions God had abundantly in store for him.Christ never failed a believer in his hour of combat. The believer must claim the promise and meet the foe in the name of the Lord, and he will not know anything like failure.” (E.G.White)
A story is told; one night a house caught fire and a young boy was forced to flee to the roof. The father stood on the 
ground below with outstretched arms, calling to his son, “Jump! I’ll catch you.” He knew the boy had to jump to save his life. All the boy could see, however, was flame, smoke, and blackness. As can be imagined, he was afraid to leave the roof. His father kept yelling: “Jump! I will catch you.” But the boy protested, “Daddy, I can’t see you.” The father replied, “But I can see you and that’s all that matters.” And so he jumped to safety.
On this Journey to the promise land most of the time we are traveling in blind faith, all we see is flames, smoke, and blackness along with every other obstacle, and trap that the god of this world has provided in our life to discourage us from continuing. But all that matters is Our father sees us.
And “NO TEMPTATION has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” 1 Cor. 10:13 (KJV)
God promise didn’t say every temptation except, Immorality, or Lying, or Stealing, or Homosexuality, or Covertness. 
God didn’t even say your “Socially Acceptable sins” God’s promise is all TEMPTATIONS He will make a way of escape, nothing in heaven or on earth is so powerful that He has not made a way of escape for His children. But your faith must tell you God sees me, even if I don’t see Him. So I must endure until this Journey is over.
Today my friends our eyes are to be forever “looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross…. (Hebrews 12:2) Acts 20:24 also states “But I count my life of no value to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace.” So today just remember “YOU HAVE DWELT LONG ENOUGH AT THIS MOUNTAIN. SO TURN AND FINISH YOUR JOURNEY” TO THE PROMISE LAND
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
