True disciple ship is not easy and spiritual growth takes a lot of commitment , effort, and hard work.( seek and you will find mat 7:7) discipleship is learning how to live like Jesus, to be like Jesus, to love like Jesus crucifying our flesh and walking in his spirit. In our lives there are many mountains and obstacles we face our flesh is weak. So we must find strength in his spirit and climb these mountains " and over come them" Climbing mountains can be dangerous and falling off a mountain life threatening. but God never gives us more than we can handle 1 cor 10:13. We must gain experience first and start with the hills as we work our way up to becoming accomplished climbers. it takes a lot of experience, discipline , training, motivation and determination to go climb mount Everest and it takes this same persistence and dedication to follow God and grow spiritually. We must be fully focused and devoted to him. A distracted climber endangers him self and others around him so stay focused! and keep climbing don't give up. Its up to you how far up do you want to go. Will you over come the mountain or will it over come you. GAL5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. GAL5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. God is looking for a people to rise up and be overcomes those who will climb and conquer the mountains set before them..I encourage you brothers and sisters to keep climbing.Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. never give up or become complacent with where you are at. lets keep climbing God bless you all
