Gospel of Luke #41 Why Mt. Hermon? (02-02-2025)
Luke 9:27-36 (Part two) Why did Jesus lead His disciples to Caesarea Philippi and then three of His closest disciples to the top of the high mountain? Jesus led His disciples to the region around Caesarea Philippi to teach them about the Church. He then selected Peter, John, and James and led them to the top of the high mountain to be alone to pray and to be witnesses of the Kingdom. I believe this high mountain was Mt. Hermon (elevation of nearly 10,000 ft. above sea level). There on top of the mountain is where the "watchers" or the fallen angels descended to earth and corrupted the human race in the days of Noah before the flood judgement.

    Brother, listening to your expositions over the years about the importance of the word and in my journey of reading through and considering David’s insights in Psalm 119 recently have been driving home this truth more and more. I pray the Lord continues to impart these revelations as we study and feed on this more sure, certain and reliable word.

    Deny your "self". Every place we think or say, "I, me, or my" ought to give us clues who were talking about or doing something for. Putting this under is the only way we can truly follow the Messiah. If we won't get out of His way, He'll have no place to live in us.

    Spiritual warfare is a very real thing. Months after being born again, the voice of a spirit of suicide came upon me and convinced me to begin rehearsing the ending of my life. Praise the Lord He intervened and told me I was listening to the wrong voice. It changed my life forever. Today He brings others from time to time who need similar help understanding God’s will for their life and how to get free. There is nothing more thrilling than to see someone come to the saving knowledge of the truth and make their choice to lay everything down to follow Jesus.

I always appreciate your faithfulness to dig in and stay the course when Holy Spirit downloads the track He wants to to run on in these teachings. He knows exactly what we all need and how to shape the messages custom for each of us. Blessings!

    The Spirit of the Lord is upon you, brother Rob, because He has anointed and qualified you to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent you to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, to grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion--to give them an ornament of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit--that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. Amen!

  • @one-advocate

    Very well delivered message today brother! Either we believe the word of God -- all of it -- of we don't. This message is equally important for those who are in the faith as it is for those outside of the faith, as it is hard to distinguish one from the other these days. But as you reminded us from the word of God, none of us has any excuse to not know what is true. God made it clear in His creation. Your plea in love at the end of the message reminded me of a video I saw years ago that I found a more recent and short version of regarding an atheist who gives accolades to a man for sharing what he believed to be the truth about eternal life. He goes on to say, "How much do you have a hate a man to NOT tell him..." Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/1wTBooxE66g/видео.html

  • @one-advocate

    It sure makes a difference and brings light to our understanding when we take the whole counsel of God (the entire Biblical context) into consideration. Sadly, it is a rarity. Having listened to brother Rob's teachings now for many years, this point continues to be driven home. I may be slow to "get it" at first and need to see it from many different perspectives because of my thick headedness, but through perseverance and a ready mind and heart, these "washings" with the water of the Word are doing exactly what Paul admonishes believers to do in Romans 12:2, "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind..." so we can intimately know and walk in a deep and trusting relationship with the true living God, which is His good and acceptable and perfect will for our born again lives with Him. Amen. Thank you brother Rob for pouring out your life in this way for all of us who have ears to hear the truth, and faithfully live it to the best we're able with God's help, and pass it on to others as He leads. I know your road has not been easy and you have faced many adversities most others will never hear about. But you sir have been an answer to prayer to me personally for the past 15 years (this month) since the day we first met. My life has been forever changed because of your faithfulness to selflessly submit yourself to the Holy written Word of God and Holy Spirit's leadership. I pray more people begin to see what they've been missing through your meaty teachings, their own diligent study, and by living this Word. This is not an ego stroke brother because on your own you couldn't do it. But I am in awe of how our God is able to draw men and women unto Himself, especially those like you who are so rarely willing to pay the cost of being a true disciple, regardless of how high the stakes. I pray the Lord the abundantly blesses this message and all who would listen and that He would receive all glory, honor, and adoration. Amen.

    sometimes we can mistake our familiarity with the term or phrase with our understanding of it, if you are not terribly sure what is meant by the kingdom of god, then keep reading, did you know that the phrase,”kingdom of god” occurs 122 times in the New Testament? did you know that 99 of these occurrences are found in the synoptic gospel ( Matthew, mark, and Luke)? did you know that 90 of those 99 occurrences come from the mouth of Jesus? Yeah, me neither, that was until i read Jesus of Nazareth, volume 1, by, pope emeritus Benedict, if you haven’t yet read it yet, you really should, let’s examine three historic and harmonizing interpretations of the kingdom of god, each of which shed light on this important concept, here we see that “the kingdom is not a thing, it is not a geographical dominion like worldly kingdoms, it is a person; it is he, on this interpretation, the term kingdom of god’ is itself a veiled christology, by the way in which he speaks of the kingdom of god, Jesus leads men to realize the overwhelming fact that in him god himself is present among them, that he is god’s presence,” Jesus of Nazareth part 1, here we see that the kingdom of god resides in the heart of man, church father, origin (1) wrote, “those who pray for the coming of the kingdom of god pray without any doubt for kingdom of god that they contain in themselves, and they pray that this kingdom might bear fruit and attain its fullness, here we see that the kingdom of god is in the here and now, present in and through the church, yet it is a mixed reality that will only be perfectly realized at the end of history, this current “mixed” state can be seen as the church on earth which now grows in the field of the world with both weeds and wheat until the harvest when Christ says he will “tell the reapers, gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned , but gather the wheat into my barn” Matthew 13:30

    God bless you brother for teaching truth as it is written and inspired by Holy Spirit. “Herald and preach the Word! Keep your sense of urgency [stand by, be at hand and ready], whether the opportunity seems to be favorable or unfavorable. [Whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether it is welcome or unwelcome, you as preacher of the Word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong.] And convince them, rebuking and correcting, warning and urging and encouraging them, being unflagging and inexhaustible in patience and teaching. For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold, And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions. As for you, be calm and cool and steady, accept and suffer unflinchingly every hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully perform all the duties of your ministry.” 2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬-‭5‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

In recent months again and again I have become profoundly aware of the immeasurable gap between the glory and power of the pages of the word of God and my life. Sadly this realisation has come to me in my seventies. My calling has always been intercession. I HAVE to heed this word. The Lord has spoken. I go away weeping with this needed rebuke. Yet with hope, hope to yet be a true servant and intercesor for the Lord.
