Don't Let The Enemy Take Your Mountain

God has always called His people to draw close to Him both spiritually and physically. It is on the mountain of prayer where they can touch, speak to and hear from Him. Today, in Jerusalem, God’s children are obstructed from being able to the travel up the holy mountain to pray at the temple. Those occupying the mountain force His people to pray in the valley where physical closeness to God is minimal. It will always take great effort and a willingness to fight the natural to obtain that which God has set aside for His people.

In this sermon Pastor Thabo Marais teaches the importance of not allowing the enemy to occupy your mountain. It is impossible to have a relationship with Jesus Christ unless you live a life of prayer. It is the effort in reaching the top of the mountain of prayer that reveals the true depth of our devotion. In sacrificing the comfort of our wants, our schedules and our personal time, He reveals his secrets and plans to us. In prayer, we deepen our relationship with God, and through that relationship receive power, strength and new life to carry out His will for our lives.
