Mountains will be removed

LAST Friday (12^th November) as I was praying, the LORD gave me a word: “Move forward with the Movement (Spirit of God) within you then the devil will move away and the mountains will be removed.”

I shared this word of the LORD with my wife and later both of us in agreement declared the word. Few days later, on 15^th November, God inspired me to read Isaiah 49 and a certain portion especially from verse 15 to 19 truly spoke up and encouraged us.

Isa 49:15 Can a woman forget her suckling child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, they may forget, yet I will not forget you.

(16) Behold, I have carved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are forever before Me.

(17) Your sons shall make haste; those destroying you and ruining you shall go out from you.

(18) Lift up your eyes all around and see; they all gather and come to you. As I live, says Jehovah, you shall surely wear them as an ornament, and bind them on as a bride.

(19) For your wastes and your deserted places, and your land of ruins, shall even now be too narrow to dwell there, and they who swallowed you up shall be far away.

On the same day, my family and I were traveling back from Penang to Gua Musang (north to the east coast of Malaysia) after a short break. It was raining and I was driving my car on the slow lane of the North-South Expressway.

My wife felt uncomfortable with the journey and suggested that we should stay one night in Ipoh before continuing our trip back home the next day to reopen our centre for registration for an upcoming English programme.

As we were approaching the Jelapang toll plaza in Ipoh (approximately 500 meters away), a 4 wheel drive pick up truck that overtook us suddenly skidded, screeched to a halt and overturned right in front of our car. The vehicle flung into a ditch on the left side of the highway.

I thank God that I was able to handle the situation by pushing the break immediately and navigate the car from ramming onto that vehicle.

It was like an action drama that caught us by surprise. Commotion in our car, we were calling out the name of the LORD but I did not panic. Praise God! We felt bad for the accident victim but couldn’t even stop the car to help because there is no emergency lane and there were many other vehicles following behind us.

Even though we were dazed from the incident, we quickly prayed for the victim’s safety and reported the mishap to a staff at the toll plaza who alerted the safety unit-patrol car to take immediate action.

At the moment, I remembered the word God gave the other day: “Move forward with the Movement within you then the devil will move away and the mountains will be removed.” We literally experienced the grace and the goodness of the Almighty. In fact we believe there are many more great encounters that will magnify the name of Jesus are waiting to be explored by all of us.

God saved us from that accident so that we can continue to move forward to be His witnesses and to fulfill the assignment He gave us. God as our supreme Redeemer always saves His sons and daughters from impossible situations. He who chooses us to be the light of the world wants us to bring glory to His name.

A little reminder to ponder:

* God will not forget us…no matter what.

* God has carved us in His palms…no one could ever erase it.

* God has built a wall of protection around about our lives…no demon can pull it down.

* God wants us to be visionaries…nothing can stop us to accomplish God’s vision.

* God will expand and extend our territory…no power can narrow it down.

* God will keep the tormentors and the devourers far from us…nothing can come near us.

Let’s move forward!

The end.
