IF YOU’VE READ THE PURPOSE OF SQUASHED MOUNTAINS
you may want to just skip to the squashed mountain on Page 2…

 

SQUASHED MOUNTAINS are my new practicable short teachings on teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. These are my own true stories which have the purpose of embolding Christians everywhere to stand up, speak out and be willing to say what is necessary as Jesus Christ said to Peter:

 

Matthew 4:10
Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’

 

That’s Bible:

 

2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

 

 

All who are The Church love God, love themselves and their neighbors as themselves. Christians embrace rebukes, corrections and trainings in righteousness because they love truth. We, The Church, must love our Holy Scriptures, all of our Holy Scriptures, in the manner in which we embrace God’s oracles – all of them: His love, mercy, grace, forgiveness, discipline and yes, Beloved, His wrath!

Let’s all go from glory to glory to please God, bless Him, receive blessings and bless others.

 

 

2 Corinthians 3:17-18
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

 

 

Selah.

 

 

Mark 11:20-26
In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!” “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

 

Proverbs 12:1
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.

 

 

Beloved,
If you allow good to be called evil, you are embracing the devil’s schemes!

 

Isaiah 5:20-21
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.

ONCE UPON A TIME
when my son and daughters were very young and at school I received a phone call in the early afternoon. The caller sounded like an American Caucasian of about thirty years old…  He literally asked me if he could speak dirty to me! God is good! God is great and greatly to be praised; so instantaneously my Father gave me the perfect answer for this broken, but wicked man. I told him: “No, I won’t let you do that: but, I tell you what I will do. I will pray for you.”

I did the exact thing God, my Father, told me to do: “I will pray for you.” Of course, I did; I am, after all an honest woman. You know, this young man (who sounded like a businessman) didn’t say another word. Do you know what he did do? He listened. He listened and I kept praying. I kept praying when he quietly hung up. And to this day, at least twenty-six years later, when I think of him I thank God for the opportunity to help a sinner turn from his sins. I faced the giant and I won. I did not return evil with evil or horror with horror. Why? Because I cared about this man’s eternal life…

You know what else I have come to believe? I believe he was someone from the church I was going to at the time.

 

THE LESSONS:
A. Do not join in with a sinner’s disgrace!
B. Care about the eternal life of anyone who tries to harm you and stand firm in your authority!

 

Colossians 4:2-6
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.  And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
