0:45 Speaker 2: Such a joy for me to be with you, even

0:47 Speaker 2: as we are doing the CDs through this week based

0:50 Speaker 2: on Mount Everest and our every life based on God's Word.

0:54 Speaker 2: Now I want you to understand me. The twenty nine

0:56 Speaker 2: is known as Mount Everest Date, the day when hill

0:59 Speaker 2: It and ten Saying made their very first push to

1:02 Speaker 2: the summit in nineteen fifty three. So there's so many

1:06 Speaker 2: things that we can take away and learn. And one

1:07 Speaker 2: of the things I want to talk about is that, yes,

1:10 Speaker 2: the same way they climb their mountain that was in

1:13 Speaker 2: front of them that the area of calling that they

1:16 Speaker 2: had You and I need to understand God has a

1:19 Speaker 2: calling over our life, a mountain that we need to climb.

1:22 Speaker 2: Of course, God wants to take us from one degree

1:25 Speaker 2: of glory to another degree of glory. The Bible says

1:27 Speaker 2: that the path of the rights gets brighter and brighter,

1:30 Speaker 2: So there's always a greater level of calling that God

1:34 Speaker 2: has for us, a greater degree of purpose that God

1:36 Speaker 2: has in store for each and every one of us.

1:38 Speaker 2: But in order to do that, I wanted to understand.

1:41 Speaker 2: When mountaineers want to climb to the top, they cannot

1:44 Speaker 2: climb with a lot of things on their plate, right,

1:48 Speaker 2: like if they're having a backpack, there are a lot

1:52 Speaker 2: of restrictions on the limits on how much weight they

1:55 Speaker 2: can carry because it's already a very strenuous task climbing

1:59 Speaker 2: to the sun, which is literally over eighty eight hundred

2:02 Speaker 2: meters above ment sea levels. So definitely they cannot just

2:06 Speaker 2: carry whatever they want. There is a limit, like, for example,

2:10 Speaker 2: in cages, you can only carry your backpack of up

2:13 Speaker 2: to ten to fifteen cages of goodies in which inclos

2:17 Speaker 2: your jacket, your light, your oxygen and food and everything

2:22 Speaker 2: together only ten to fifteen cages. I think it's around

2:24 Speaker 2: twenty two to thirty pounds. That's all they can carry, right,

2:28 Speaker 2: So I want you to understand something here. They have

2:30 Speaker 2: to travel light if they want to go higher. The

2:35 Speaker 2: lighter you have, the higher you go. I don't know

2:39 Speaker 2: who needs to hear this word. Some of you are

2:42 Speaker 2: trying to go higher in your calling, but you're not

2:45 Speaker 2: willing to let go of the things that are weighing

2:47 Speaker 2: you down. Because the more you allow God to let

2:53 Speaker 2: go of the things, or to free you from the

2:57 Speaker 2: things that are carrying you or worrying you, or conarning

3:00 Speaker 2: you that are upon you, you will struggle to go higher.

3:05 Speaker 2: So if you really want to go higher in your calling,

3:09 Speaker 2: you need to go to that place where you let

3:11 Speaker 2: go of the things that are weighing you down. Because

3:13 Speaker 2: I want you to understand something here. The Bible says

3:16 Speaker 2: in Psalm fifty five vers two, and when you also

3:19 Speaker 2: look at first Peter five, verse seven, it says you

3:22 Speaker 2: need to cast your cast upon the Lord. You need

3:25 Speaker 2: to cast your concerns upon the Lord, cast your worries

3:28 Speaker 2: upon the Lord. Cast everything. Even when you look at Jesus,

3:32 Speaker 2: what did you say all e that are weary and

3:35 Speaker 2: are heavy laiden, come to me. You have to understand.

3:39 Speaker 2: Come and just throw it into the hands of the Lord,

3:42 Speaker 2: and then you will be able to be at rest

3:45 Speaker 2: and be able to be free enough and be light

3:49 Speaker 2: enough for you to go higher. The challenge I want

3:53 Speaker 2: to leave with each one of you is that you

3:55 Speaker 2: will go to that place where you are in a

3:58 Speaker 2: place where you let go of the things that are

4:01 Speaker 2: weighing you down so that you will be able to

4:03 Speaker 2: go higher in your calling. What are areas in your

4:07 Speaker 2: life that you're unwilling to let go. Maybe there is

4:11 Speaker 2: a hurt in the past, maybe on an opportunity that

4:14 Speaker 2: you missed and that's haunting you. Or maybe if somebody

4:17 Speaker 2: did you wrong. Maybe there's bitterness, an attitude of putting

4:21 Speaker 2: on too grudges. Maybe there's unforgiveness. Maybe there's a secret

4:24 Speaker 2: sin or an addiction that you're not willing to let go,

4:27 Speaker 2: or come into the hands of God and committing it

4:30 Speaker 2: and saying, God, this is an area where I want

4:33 Speaker 2: you to help me. Let go, help me to be

4:36 Speaker 2: set free so that I will travel light in Jesus

4:40 Speaker 2: Mighty name, Can this be your prayer today? It may

4:44 Speaker 2: be a simple message, but this is such a powerful message,

4:47 Speaker 2: a powerful reminder because the lighter you go, the higher

4:52 Speaker 2: you go. But if you're canning on too much weight,

4:57 Speaker 2: you will not be able to go higher. You will struggle,

5:01 Speaker 2: you will give up soon. But this is a wake

5:04 Speaker 2: up call for you that in any area that you're

5:07 Speaker 2: not willing to let go, that you are a loving

5:11 Speaker 2: things to weigh you down. I want to pray in

5:13 Speaker 2: Jesus name, the Holy Spirit will shed light into areas

5:18 Speaker 2: where you need to allow him to work. What are

5:21 Speaker 2: some areas in your life that the Holy Spirit needs

5:23 Speaker 2: to work that he will enable you to cast and

5:28 Speaker 2: let go. I pray in Jesus Name. Maybe a relationship

5:32 Speaker 2: that needs to be healed, a relationship that needs to

5:37 Speaker 2: be reconciled. Maybe there is an area of brokenness that

5:42 Speaker 2: you're not spoken to anybody about, but you know it

5:45 Speaker 2: that you need to take action. Let this be your

5:48 Speaker 2: wake up call. Or maybe there is something from the

5:52 Speaker 2: past that's haunting you over and over and over again.

5:55 Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus Christ, that haunting spirit, let

5:59 Speaker 2: it go, that is constantly telling you you should have

6:01 Speaker 2: done this, you shouldn't have done that, You messed it up.

6:05 Speaker 2: I pray that today you will receive that forgiveness from

6:09 Speaker 2: the Lord, to receive that mercy and to be free,

6:14 Speaker 2: so that you will start afresh today in Jesus Name.

6:18 Speaker 2: And I pray that every single one of you watching

6:20 Speaker 2: listening from across the globe will be in a place

6:24 Speaker 2: where you're willing to let go and cast everything into

6:27 Speaker 2: the hands of God and travel light in Jesus Mighty name.
