New Year Peaks Part 2

“And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month on the first day of the month the tops of the mountains were seen.”
Genesis 8:5

Last week we looked at this passage in Genesis and today I want to go further in this study, as there is so much in it that we can apply to our lives today.

We looked at 2 things! What do these peaks speak to us about?

1. Divine Promises found in 2Peter 1:4

2. Mountain-tops of Spiritual possibilities!

Will we grow more in God in 2012 than we did in 2011?

John 1:12 “But as many as received Him to them He gave power to become children of God…”.

In Christ we can become strong spiritual people ad do great things in His kingdom.

Then in John 1:42 “Jesus said two things to Peter “you are…” “you shall be…”

Peter came one way to Christ Jesus and He changed his name, saying “This is how you are, but this is how you will be”!. God takes our earthly nature and changes us into a heavenly nature (this is the time to rejoice) Phil 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”.

3. Mountain tops of challenging opportunities

Forget the failures of the past, but learn from them. Trust Christ more and yourself less. Don’t be held back by things that happened in 2011 but push onto higher ground and opportunities that await you.

Some things to note!

A. The mountain tops were seen from the ark

Which typified our Saviour, in Jesus. We have a strong vision and calling to do His will. No such radiant peaks will greet those who are outside of Him!!

B. They were seen from Ararat
Without true consecration there can be but hazy vision of the higher truths.

Should we all endeavor to live a righteous life, to be Holy as He is Holy?

When the right person gets into the right place—the blessings always come.

Start today to read the New Testament this year. To study, and allow the Holy Spirit to help you in all your endeavors, and give you your hearts desires in 2012! Give it all you’ve got, and keep pressing onto higher ground.

Have a blessed week!

Love you all heaps.
