"Why the Mountain Will Not Move" - Josh Carson

I feel commissioned by the Lord to preach this tonight and while we might not swing from the non-existent chandeliers [Music] I believe that God wants to help this district [Music] it's not surprising to me the blanket of oppression that I feel in here tonight because I know what I am called to preach this evening mark 11 verses 13 and 14 and then we're gonna jump down and read verses 20 through 23 just so you're not nervous ever been in a service where the pastor or the preacher starts reading scriptures and you're kind of thinking when's he gonna be done he's going a long time I'm letting you know ahead of time where we're going okay 13 and 14 then 20 through 23 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves he came if haply he might find anything thereon and when he came to it he being Jesus found nothing but leaves for the time of figs was not yet and jesus answered and said unto it no man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever and his disciples heard it had leaves but no fruit it's dangerous to look like you're producing something until someone gets close enough to you to recognize you're not verse 20 and in the morning next day as they pass by they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots and Peter he always got a like good old Peter because he would say what everybody was thinking Peter was the ad/hd of the group he called to remembrance said unto the Lord Master look at the fig tree that you cursed it's withered away and Jesus answering said unto them have faith in God seems like an odd place for Jesus usually when we think of Jesus talking about faith we think of him bringing life not death Jesus said at that cursed and dried and withered fig tree have faith in God for verily I say unto you [Music] 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 those things which he say it shall come to pass he shall have whatsoever he saith and let everybody say Amen I'd like to preach to you tonight from this text and this thought why the mountain will not move make it even a little more specific why your mountain will not move father your presence is in this house and so is distraction the enemy would not like for young people and young adults to get a hold of what I'm gonna preach here tonight but I pray you to Rock just Rob every devil that thinks he's going to get any kind of glory and Rob every kind of enemy an adversary that thinks he's gonna get any kind of victory over these young people I curse every distraction in this room and I pray against every binding and opressing spirit in this place I curse it in the name of Jesus Christ so that we might speak ministry and healing and strength and deliverance in the mighty name of Jesus Christ god I pray for your help and your strength upon this body let Liberty Oh God let it come in this room right now you are the god of break fruits in the name of Jesus Christ and everybody shout amen praise God god bless you and you may be seated [Music] now this is not to single anybody out but I would like to ask this question from the beginning here how many here were raised in the church you were raised you were the vast majority many of us here did anybody here like me grow up underneath the pew sleeping underneath looking at gum on the touchin it even though your mom said not to sleeping I grew up in the church I had some fun times in the church I did some dumb stuff in the church anybody ever get called out from the platform in the church how you talking not paying attention you ever get called out you ever get called out who ever got called out in the church besides me I was on the front row one night like some of these young men on this front row right here I was on the front row talking and there's nobody on the front row but if he didn't know that that's why I was on the front row and I was so deep in conversation that the pastor was calling me out from the pulpit and I didn't even know he was talking to me finally somebody slapped me from behind later somebody slapped my behind you know that's right how many ever got a good whipping after church you know your parents know how to smile at church till you get home there to kill you you you did you did brought you into this world I thank you how many has ever heard that anybody ever got beat in the car on the way home come on you know it's true you know what I'm talking about Church church can be a knock-down drag-out just trying to get to church come on I know what it's like on the way to church kids in the back going crazy you know what it's like moms drive and be up there the mirror adjustment hey hey hey I'll take my belt driving and you don't mess with them here's when you know it's serious how many have ever got this the over the seat you know come on lie you fry I grew up in the church and I'm going to tell you just going to church doesn't make you good you can go to church and hell it's not fun it's just reality you can go to church and act like the devil the truth is you're not really acting like the devil you're acting like you got flesh as long as you got flesh you're a problem waiting to happen all you guys over here problem waiting to happen you know it's true right you know it he's like I know I told them some of you girls that understand with me that even though you've been raised in the church you can get sassy real easy let her walk into the church wearing the same outfit as you and you know you had it first I guess that was you going through my laundry I've seen some look some of you guys can't some of you girls still can't get along she dated him five years and you still can't get over it been five years ago being raised in the church don't make you holy automatically but I was raised in the church and so being raised in the church I figured out that we have some keywords that work we have some key approaches especially in the Pentecostal church we have we have some mannerisms we have some voice inflection that we use and some more than others some places more than others and I don't care how reserved or unreserved I don't care how demonstrative or solemn you are I found out that certain things work universally and and you found this to be true you've found out to be true that we have certain scriptures that are what we call bailout scriptures right how many could help me with a if you know what a bailout scripture a bailout scripture is one of those scriptures when when you're preaching a message and it's not going real good we jump don't we we jump where we go to brother Woodward knows he's been there he's been there when it wasn't going good so have I he yelled out from the row over here saying the O greater is he I'm telling you I don't care who you're preaching about or how about it's going the audience can be filing their nails and balancing the checkbook and if nobody's paying attention and the buzzards are circling your dead carcass and you throw a little but greater is he how about somebody else anybody else all things work together some of y'all that won't sure I don't care what they play the old ones don't like the new songs and the young people don't like the old song says so but let them quote one of those go-to scriptures having a bad week mad at your kids mad at your parents all things work who you're preaching now I thought he was preaching about Moses it's good though anybody got another one anybody do you hear people in the crowd it's like they were preaching people oh wow it was like oneness overload that's right rejoice not against me all I'm going to tell you right now if you can't preach that you can't preach it all I'm telling you I had plenty of early on trying to learn how to preach and here's some sweet Oh sister in the church say Oh bless him Lord you know what that means god help us he's doing bad I was preaching my little heart out one night just the young man preaching the whole Bible in 23 minutes and I walked by a guy on the second row was sound asleep not even a courteous head down in his hands didn't even put shades on I mean his mouth was open felt like mark in his mouth I don't care how bad your doing rejoice not against me o my enemy for when I fall I shall hurrah I heard somebody over here say here o Israel I'm telling you in the oneness Turks you don't have to be preaching about oneness at all and you throw a little Deuteronomy 6:4 at them some elders going to be like and I'm going to tell you if you're just really thinking and I mean it's going so bad that nobody said Amen all night if you just give them a little bit and win the day of Pentecost was fully come and I'm not making fun of it I'm glad we've got them cuz I've been in a sinking ship plenty of times and needed them water out of here we're gonna drown and I'm gonna tell you I have found that go to scripture that I have heard over and over since I was a boy one of them was here when Jesus said you could look at that mountain alright preacher and you could say to that mountain you got to be cast into the sea and it'll be done now let me start this tonight by telling you I believe that I believe that from Genesis to Revelation every promise in the book is mine and no I don't think we got to go back to the nineteen thirties forties and fifties to see miracles I've seen too many cancers dried up ha it's too many cocaine addicts throw truck oh you ain't gonna help me at all I guess from the start right now let me turn a switch on you I believe that he is a healer he is a deliverer he is the freer he is the one who brings her addiction he is the God who brings help in hoping and I believe that that if you look at the mountain and say be cast into this I believe in that kind of stuff but it's a bailout scripture fiery 5 101 if you can't do as good as them go to this or grab you acts 2 Deuteronomy 6:4 and you won't need no more go to this bail out go to scripture and you'll be all right and so I I don't want you to think that I'm in disagreement or in any sense of disbelief but I do think that when we quote text we ought to know the context of the text the historical accuracy to understand so I would start with you tonight on a very important journey as to why the mountain in your life is not moving by asking a question that involves your transparency does anybody here tonight have a mountain that still hasn't moved in your life if it's you I want you to raise your hand I see some hands all of them I don't want you to be embarrassed I want you to be honest you got some situations in your life that still ain't right you got some come here's the deal I don't even want to preach on until everybody's honest and I've got to check in my spirit right here we're gonna take a moment of train pairen see if it's not you fine stay seated but you've got some stuff that you need God to take care of tonight I want you to stand to your feet right now I want this to be an open confession it's a vast majority praise God you may be seated I serve hell notice from the beginning of this message that we understand the goodness of God is not predicated upon a personal environment and our praise will not be dictated by the circumstances of our life whether he touches me ever again in this life there is no name that is higher there is no name that is greater there is no name that is more magnificent there is no name that is more worthy than the name that is above every name the name of Jesus Christ it is in the beginning of Mark the 11th chapter where Jesus speaks unto the disciples and he picks out a couple of them and he he tells them I want you to go into the city and I want you to grab a Colt that's going to be tied up everybody say a Colton that's right a Colt its time and I want you to loose him and bring him to me and if the men ask you what do you think you're doing I want you to tell them the Lord needs it now don't you wish this worked anywhere you went you wish that works for your mom's keys what are you doing the Lord needs and so they walk into town and they find the code and they start untying I'd love to see the expressions on the face of the men what are you doing the Lord needs it you know they had that talk on the way to town right that's what's not recorded what if someone at your saying it you know I'm not saying that the Lord needs it I'm not saying that sometimes we romanticize these guys these guys were just guys the Lord needs it Oh on that case take it that's awesome we should use that more I had my eye on a chariot they come bringing this colt to the Lord it's an incredible portion of scripture for it's here where we find that they begin to place clothes upon the ground taking garments off of themself and laying it on the road before they were taking garments off and laying them on the ground and didn't they they took garments and they laid it upon that coat and they put it on that coat and on the ground and they were preparing the way then they would put Jesus up upon this colt and others begin to cut down branches this is that very vivid Easter drama seen that so many of us have acted out in our old baptismal robes yeah waving the branches and what were they crying starts with ho z na thank you brilliance everybody begin to shout Hosanna everybody begin to shout hoes okay here let's do this wouldn't that have been great wouldn't that have been a great Bible story if they all did it one time Hosanna think he's about done I'm starving pretend you're the best actor in any Easter drama you've ever been to and give me your best hosanna scene right now don't do a lot of Easter dramas in the Atlantic District do we can I tell you this it's easier to kraaho XANA than live holy and it's amazing that there were a lot of them in the crowd crying Hosanna that would very soon be turning upon him but they're crying Hosanna before him and Jesus comes on through this crowd he's really on a Kingdom mission and the scariest part about it is he saw this convention on that road he knew no time or space he took on the time of men to understand but him and his I'm my presence he knows no time or space and so he stood here as he stood there he went down that road Hosanna Hosanna he had to be able to hear every decibel that would register in the inner ear canal and come across the fibers that were within the inner ear he could recognize every voice and remember the first day that they drew breath into their lungs as a child infinite in his wisdom and complete in his understandings he could hear the very ones who by free will might make a decision within the next week Hosanna and the Bible says that Jesus came and he entered into the temple there at Jerusalem coming in to the temple he comes in for a time he begins to take a look around he begins to just maybe maybe evaluate the situation if you will and it is the next morning that on his way from Bethany that the Bible says he was hungry everybody say he was hungry and I think he might have been a little hangry I asked the class this morning and I asked the mass assembly tonight anybody in here know you get angry when you get hungry come on you lie you for I wave at me right now some of you wives out of nudge your husbands because you know he needs to grab a snicker see Jesus was hungry and he sees a fig tree from a distance and sees the leaves on it I'm enamored by the story because I know he knows everything I know that he knows there ain't no figs on that tree but playing out in his flesh he sees the leaves on the tree and the disciples walk even the disciples you know the disciples know there's no figs on that shirt it's not time for FIGS that's what the Bible says for all of us that would try to over-interpret scripture by the way the time of yeah he walks up and sees that there's leaves and there's nothing on the tree and Jesus steps back hangry he cursed the tree because there were no FIGS on it and I heard somebody say one time and I think it's okay preaching it's a little embellished but when Jesus wants figs he wants figs regardless of whether it seems like the right time for you to produce something in your life or not he still expects you to produce something in your life let me boil it down for you this way there's too many good apostolic young people whose parents are drunk addicted to drugs and live in unrighteous for you to use the excuse that you can't do it I got too many friends who are preachers who got beat up as kids for going to the house of God for us to act like we got the deck stacked against us in this generation but I would tell you that there is more of a depth to this jesus said no man eat fruit from thee hereafter forever but watch the setup they come into Jerusalem and Jesus went into the temple everybody say he win the church he went into the temple and he began to cast out them man he just cursed a tree you got to think Jesus is a little crazy when he cursed to the tree but then he goes in and goes on a tyrant starts casting people out of the temple they didn't like him anyway get out of the tip starts casting out the people in the day what would you do if somebody walked into you on Sunday and grabbed you by the collar and said get out of the church I was leaving anyway no you wouldn't you'd be mad man any guys in here that'd be my love somebody grabbed you come on some of you go he walks him to the truck I'm honest this is one of those I would love to be in the corner of the church saying a little prayer when he walked in should die before I wake up what what's he oh jesus has lost it watch this get your get your phone get your phone he starts to cast them out he begin to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple and he overthrew the table of the money changers and he overthrew them of the seats that sold doves and would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple and he taught them saying my house shall be a house of All Nations a house of prayer and you have made it a den of thieves he reached all the way back to the prophet Isaiah and he got in conversation with Isaiah 56 and he said you've turned the church into something that the church was never meant to be can I tell you that if we ever have the kind of church where Jesus cannot come in and interrupt us we've got the kind of church that we're not meant to have I'm gonna preach that anyway we need the kind of church where he can show up and throw his weight around a little bit the kind of church that makes us uncomfortable the kind of church where God shows up and shows out and shows off [Applause] I'm not mad at anybody but I am gonna preach this passionate right now we need the kind of church where the kids who worship don't look out of place you don't have to clap your hands sit there and suck your thumb if you don't like it but there ought to be a man or a woman there ought to be a young person that says I Know Who I am and I know what he's brought me from I know what he's picked me up out of I know what he's brought I'm not gonna make the temple something that he never intended it to me this is not where we sell Girl Scout cookies this ain't a place where we come together and do some fundraising this is a place where we advance the kingdom this is a place where we join together and believe that mountain get test into the sea we believe that cancers get dried up we believe that minds that have been broken get made right my god I feel like preaching this is the place where marriages get put back together this is the place where homes that have been destroyed all of a sudden final restoration this is the place where those that were blind begin to see this is the place where they are come on the eyes of those who could see no love and ears that could hear no love and hearts that could feel no love they begin to feel and experience the joy of the load if you're thankful for the church you ought to clap your hands and let God know that you're thankful for the church and you're thankful for the body come on if you're thankful for a place you can worship you ought to let him know if you're thankful for some Isles you still get to run you ought to let him know if you're thankful for the Holy Ghost you ought to let him know I don't want the church to ever become something that doesn't give him praise I don't want the church to ever become something that doesn't give Him glory but if there's anything in the church that doesn't please you turn the tables over throw the moneychangers out because your house he's meant to be a house of prayer and if we make it a house of prayer he will show up because he told us if my people which are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear from heaven I will forgive their sins and I will heal their you ought to give God some praise for the church I feel like doing nothing but preaching about the church I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the church I wouldn't know I don't have time let somebody treat the church wrong no I don't have time to let somebody talk bad about my pastor no I don't got no room in my life for them to talk bad about my youth pastor no I do not think that we ought to treat church casually no I do you want to preach about mine's being broken let me preach to you for a second right now we need young ladies that feel bold that will get up because the world wants our young ladies to think hold on I want you to hear me even in the church we think young ladies shouldn't do that talk about broken spirits and broken hearts and broken Minds it's one thing for you to clap to that it's another thing for you to believe that have you ever seen a drug addict that got set free I have you ever watched them pull drugs out of their pocket and throw it on the altar if you have it you need to go through that doc I'll never forget Chris coming up out of the water dancing down to the altar what's he doing he threw drugs and he yelled out what hey I couldn't do for me what does counseling session these were his words I've tried to break this for years and when I went down in that water I failed every dish so you can act like you're tired of it if you want to but there's nothing like the church there's nothing is powerful on this earth there's nothing is glorious on this earth there's nothing like the house of God thank God for your school thank God I wish you would run a little bit thank God for your university thank God for the local sinner but you listen to me baby there's nothing like the church I take the church over the best chop I take the church over the most prestige I'll take the church over earthly fame give me the church and give me G whoa there are to be a little dance in here somebody's mama who's an alcoholic you [Applause] if they do get saved it's not gonna be a bingo

Yeller mr. loud guy I don't like your kind that's funny to me I'm gonna tell you right now you'd be seeing if you want to cuz huh there's no telling we say this I'm just going to talk to you so I don't have to look anybody else in the eye if it's got to be your style of music we're close enough friends I can talk to you this way maybe fun of my socks earlier listen to me if you don't want to know what he said about me anyway if it's got to be your kind of music for you to worship it's not a music problem to you problem I don't know why they're clapping I'm just talking to you I'm just if it's got to be your style a church for you to worship it's not a style problem brother Paul it's a brother pump you know let me talk to you because you might have a problem - and you're president-elect so I'm gonna talk to you if it has to be a special preacher to get you going it's not the preacher problem it's that you don't really like the message problem [Applause] well my pastors home my pastor don't preach like that I don't care if he can't throw five words together without missing so I don't care if he quotes scripture out of place I'm telling you that gray-haired man lays in his office and wails over your family and wails over your soul I don't care if he's ever preached a camper a convention he preached you out of the recesses of hell we don't have conviction music at my church if we had him on the drums I draw a shelter it's not the beat of the drum that brought you out of hell and it's not the guy on the cable it's whether or not you recognize he picked me up and he turned me around and he set my feet [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] how many like southern gospel stay standing you can be honest some of you kids are like my mom okay be seated let's do this one at a time how many of you how many of you like a little bit of black gospel they'll so listen thank god you're the widest bunch of people I ever saw everybody in the room I knew that I felt it earlier my man by God you should have been oh and I pray I had to come off the platform I couldn't even stay on the platform sigh oh they don't know you should have been that man I love that stuff KBC how many of you like contemporary you like contemporary you know you're the radio person just want to give Jesus a hug okay be seated be honest how many of you still like the old hymnal songs you still like okay BC piscina I would like to ask how many of you get mad when they sing new songs but don't let's not do that because we know I feel hey I saw you my brother I saw you over there set you up let me ask this how many like songs that give glory to God some of you even only even like that kind that's alright say so let me ask you this question what if you get to heaven and they're not singing your song I know why them I don't like it well I hope when you get to New Jerusalem they're playing something you like I like it there you'll be known as you are what would happen in our churches what would happen in our churches if it had nothing to do with style and preference if when they tried to introduce a new song what would happen if when they sing an old one we let me ask you another question what kind of a worshiping church would you go to if everybody modeled your worship style what if what if next service it's your home Church I don't care what they start playing you might freak some people out they start playing the first song what's wrong with him oh he's just turning some tables over that's one way I want to emulate Jesus I don't want to be angry but I want some righteous indignation to come on me and anybody that doesn't want to have a move of God I want them to know I came to church meaning business I plan on Devils getting tossed out I plan on post kidding the Holy Ghost I plan on people being saved and delivered I plan on there being a move of the Spirit of God and the only way it'll happen is if his house becomes a house up I gotta give my wall challenge I gotta give my desires out I gotta give my mindset out and say let the will of God all that Jesus did was walked in the church and said every prophecy spoken over this church is gonna come to pass I know we don't think about it that way but that's what he did every prophecy man I wish I could get a pastor a minister and even some young people that maybe knew what prophecies have been uttered over your church come on what's been spoken over Saint John what's been proffered what's been prophesied over Fredericton what's been prophesied over the whole Atlantic District I tell you what if it was prophesied you ought to get a little bit like Jesus right now and say every promise in the book every prophecy he ever said it will come to pass in the last days say it come on can I get some help right here I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh yes we will have a move of God yes we will have a move up the sea throw your hands towards heaven and lift your voices and give him pray come on you ought to speak down over your church I'm not talking about a new prophecy I'm talking about getting linked up with the prophetic utterance come on I'm asking for some spiritual maturity from young men and young ladies now throw your hands up right now and say every promise over my family I wanted every promise over my city I wanted every promise over my church I want it I want it I wish you'd throw your hands up and scream out loud I wanna I wanna there ain't a pastor in this district that doesn't want revival and the youth president asked us this morning where are the revivalists you show me the prayer warriors and I'll show you the river it is his good pleasure may be seated he turned over tables you slap your neighbor how didn't want you say anything I just wanted you to hit somebody turn to your other neighbor slap them and say he turned over tables dude some of y'all ain't clapped all night yet and I've sold several people the kingdom of God suffered violence turned-over tables started quoting scripture on them kids don't you hate when your pair of circling scoops on you hmm hmm don't want your parents to see you say yes how many be honest right now and would say you've ever had a parent go scripture on you okay I guess you forgot number five Oh BAE yo better I don't think that's what it says says honor which means obey I don't know that that's the Greek get mad I can't imagine I'm mad they were when Jesus went scripture on them can you imagine what it must have been like when the word started quoting word had to be powerful my house shall be a house and the disciples people in the back just watching man they were mad at him people in the church and they come walking out Bible says when even was come verse nineteen when they were come out of the city in the morning they passed by and saw the fig tree everybody said the fig tree verse 20 I want us to read the last part of verse 20 together if they can put it on the screen mark chapter 11 verse 20 it says when they came out they passed by they saw the fig tree and what is the last part dry not like it was Wittering like it was dead dried up from the roots I see like a tumbleweed and and they walk they walk by and good old mister ADHD Pistol Pete he's a geez Jesus look at that Peter don't touch me how many times do I have to tell you don't don't you every time you're so you just rambunctious I'm second thinking this Pentecost thing I'm just Peter's like wait till I start cussing that's gonna be really Peter is the example of disciple that gives every young person hope I'm gonna tell you right now if Peter could be a preacher you can all do it everybody I don't know I say I say bad I just Peter cut dudes ears off I'll never leave you I never I'll never did I know I don't know him Peter was bipolar before it was diagnosed hey hey Jesus take take a look at the fig tree like Jesus was going to be surprised I think the thing in Jesus's mine was he was surprised that Peter hadn't expected it you know it's amazing what happens at church services when there's expectation versus when there's not mm-hmm it's dried up it's nothing on it and Jesus turns and says to most Pentecostals the unthinkable my faith in God when a preacher comes to my church and start preaching about faith I don't want to have the thought that things are about to start dying except for some situation you know you're supposed to love your enemies but have you ever never mind so supposed to pray god bless them you feel like praying God blast them have faith in God that's what he says and he goes forward and he says for verily I say unto you that whosoever shall say unto this mountain now I understand in Matthew these words are repeated where he is speaking about a situation with a child and I still I would tell you that every promise in the book I told you from the beginning it's ours and I believe that God heals people and I believe that this very night people will be healed in this room I declare to you by the authority of his word that this night in this Convention Center people will be healed by God in Jesus name that will happen not might happen it will happen tonight Jesus looked at them and said you could say to this mountain be removed and be cast into the sea and if you don't doubt in your heart whatever you ask it will happen and it's not until this when we take a firm look at Scripture that we understand with the entire setting the scene that they had walked the path that they had taken had all been a part of the strategic master plan drawn up on the eternal plate page book of heaven for there to be an occurrence of teaching for the disciples for there are times and instances throughout scripture where Jesus teaches by parables and there's other times where Jesus teaches by creative prayer parables or principles in the moment and we here realize that when Jesus had cursed the fig tree what he was really doing was cursing in advance what he was about to do in the temple the fig tree would represent not by a stretcher allegory but by typing shadow the religious leaders of the day and age that were turning the church into something that it were not to be they looked as though they had God but they had no real touch of his spirit he was saying there is coming a day when there will be a man-made system that will be torn down and there will be a free rein for those who want to experience the touch of God and when Jesus said you can say to this mountain be removed and cast into the sea he was talking about the mountain where the temple sat he said there is a day when the customs and the ideologies and the philosophies of manmade religion are going to crumble before you there will be a day isn't it surprising that old Peter is the one that said to him the fig tree was cursed and withered and Jesus knew in the back of his mind old Pete if you had anything any idea it won't be too long from now when I will get up out of the grave and the veil will be writ and you and the boys will gather in an upper room in Jerusalem and when you come pouring out into the street speaking with other tongues there will be devout men out of every nation there and they will ask themselves are not all these which speak galilaeans how then do we hear them speak in our own tongue and Oh Peter I'm gonna let you stand up with the other eleven and say we're not drunk as you suppose and on that day old Pete there's gonna be thousands added to the church there's gonna be men and women from all over that are added to the church and they would never have experienced it if we just had normal temple routine why won't the mountain move I'll tell you what mountain won't move because there's even though we've used that go to Scripture ever since I was a boy cutting my teeth on the back of a Pew take me to one place in scripture where there was a mountain moved I let any preacher in this room take the microphone you show me one place where it was cast into the sea in front of everybody I mean he did some bad to the bone stuff made the Sun stand still right dead people got up Lazarus dead for days smelled like a hog pen had flesh falling off really for days you could have come Jesus sets around the dinner table editor and says it was for the glory of God glory of God imagine that imagine being with Lazarus around the table nobody had a better story than him I was dead last week okay you talk you got the floor show me a place in scripture where the armies needed to go through and so they just said Mountain be cast it wasn't till about five years ago when they did some radar some sonar imaging that they found all throughout the skis the Seas scattered throughout the sea there's all these mountains there's five and ten thousand foot mountains that are under the under the bridges of the water they're cast throughout the ocean the only precedent that he even had to speak that was he was God manifested in the flesh and knew that when he went to dividing land and sea he had some sea he had some land in places he didn't want it to be I can't show you one place in Scripture but I can take you to mountain after Mountain after Mountain that he did need people to climb I thank God that Abraham took Isaac up Moriah I want to talk about pray for a spirit of sacrifice he said I'll model that for you so you can preach it more effective thank God with all the favor that Abraham had that he didn't stand at the base of Moriah and say let this mountain move and God said why don't you thank God that good old Elijah didn't stand there at the bottom of Mount Carmel and say god I can't do it I'm outnumbered they've got hundreds and it's just me thank God that Elijah walked up that old rugged hillside in the middle of a drought and climbed up to the top of that mountain and while those prophets Abell got to go and late into the day Elijah started pokin making fun of them Elijah was my kind of preacher maybe he's sleeping it's not funny maybe he's on a journey maybe maybe he's tired maybe you should shut up Elijah and at the end of the day in the middle of a drought he pours water on top of the altar where'd he do it on the top of a mountain he never wanted to climb standing on the top of that thank God that Moses walked up Sinai thank God for my table where the Mount of Transfiguration took place thank God for all of that and the prayer of Jesus and I'm gonna tell you right now that in his flesh in the pace in the garden Jesus even wrestling with this flesh said not my will but I don't do this but not my will but thy will be done thank God that when he could have called on a legion of he could have gone to hosts of angels one step at a time up an old hillside I'm gonna tell you why your mountain is not moving because he wants you to advance up the hill we're standing at the base of the hill closing our highest God let the mountain be cast into the sea anybody ever prayed and and closed your eyes real tight hoping you'd see something when you open them anybody ever prayed that want to see an angel prayer come on you know what I'm talking about you're laughing because you've done it you prayed and you close your eyes and you and you squint it a little bit and if you open them up slowly and you're crying a little bit the lights kind of look like think I saw young people of the Atlantic District the call to ministry is not easy but this Melton is not moving you're gonna have to either go around it or go up it but if you go around it you're all mystical can I tell you that the day of week and average youth groups has got to be over the day of act us acting like we got this Holy Ghost thing down when we gather in conventions and act like we don't even know we're Pentecostal by the time we get out of our conventions that mess has got to be over if we have ever needed a generation to rise up and say you know what give me the mountain give me the mat well I don't know it's not gonna be pop I don't care if it's popular I don't care if anybody else in my youth group wants to be a prayer warrior if you're looking for an intercessor if you're looking for a mountain climber sign me up can you put that next slide up on I want you to look at this guy has anybody ever heard of this brand Patagonia I'm drawn to a close you have right man
