Do you face a mountain\u2026a seemingly impossible task? Finding a job. Caring for aging parent. Fighting cancer. Battling depression. Rebuilding a life after death or divorce. Seeking a new career. Starting a ministry. Finishing college. Overcoming an addiction. What mighty mountain looms before you?
\n\nSome of you have a mountain of rubble in your life\u2026a mountain of your own making due to disobedience or neglect\u2026others of you stare at a mountain caused by the invasion of the enemy into your life or family\u2026regardless of the reason\u2026that mountain serves as a constant reminder of your past defeat and present bondage. It seems impossible and overwhelming and God seems disengaged or disconnected.
\n\nEvery time you step out to do something for God or make progress spiritually, the enemy will take you back to your mountain\u2014and remind you of the past or point to the obstacles in your present trying blur your destiny. The very memory of your mountain is like a leech the sucks the life out of your faith and your future.
\n\nWhen you are a slave to something\u2026when you\u2019re held captive by something it literally alters your whole outlook on life and can change your personality. Your captivity steals your identity. Just like the Babylonians and Persians used the \u201cslave mentality\u201d to control the Jews\u2026 Satan uses this \u201cslave mentality\u201d to invade and take captive every aspect of our lives and limit, if not destroy, our potential for Christ.
