0000 Encounter - Mountain of the Lord

Close to Abraham but far from God

A. Blessing did not pass the test of time

Abraham sacrificed in intimacy what Lot lot in fire

Lot could not maintained his blessings, Abraham multiplied them

B. Sin is impossible to resist

Obsession led to oppression

Leaving of Lot, lifting of eyes, looking on promise

C. Settle for relief not repentance

Abraham would deliver him from trouble only for Lot to go back to sodom

Saul was the same way. Your God! Changed by anointing, David lived in the presence!

Hide in the cave or hike the mountain

A. Don’t look back to your past

B. Don’t stay in the plain

C. Seek His presence

Settle for a city, than a cave!

Lives in fear

Sexual sin

Alcohol

Noah met God in mount Ararat

Abraham met God in mount of God

Moses met God in mount Sinai

David said who can ascend hill of Lord Elijah brought fire on the mountain

Jesus was transfigured on mount

Jesus died on the hill

Jesus ascended from the hill

Jesus is coming back on mount of olives

It’s easier to hide than to hike!

It’s easier to settle than to seek!

Abraham birthed a messiah

Lot birthed a mess
