THE REASON: “It is very possible for an earnest Christian to be so poorly taught
and to so misunderstand the truths of Christianity that he is unable to adequately
practice the Christian life!” (Victor Matthews, in Plant My Feet On Higher Ground,
Emmaus Bible College) And also this! "True Christianity is not the formal,
powerless thing that so many have come to know. Real fellowship with the living
Christ, the Anointed One, results in the destruction of every bondage, the removal
of every burden, and the fulfillment of every good desire. There is no life so
exciting as the victorious life that is true Christianity." (Keith Moore, Moore Life
Ministries) The Lord has called me and leads me to teach victorious living in Christ
by sharing personal experiences, perspectives and topical Bible study guides
online; here and in my Xanga weblog: http://weblog.xanga.com/onjerusalemhill.
"Jerusalem" Hill is a name the Lord Jesus gave me in 2001. He answered my prayer for
a public name which guides your attention onto Jesus Christ and His finished
work. For you will only be enriched in proportion to the attention you give to Him. When
Jesus whispered His new name for me into my spirit, I personally did not like it. Sounded
too lofty to me, like something my own ego had come up with. To test the spirit of it, I
asked Him for Scripture confirming it. He told me to "look at Revelation 3:12." And I was
convinced and also greatly encouraged. It says "He who overcomes I will make a pillar
in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my
God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem..." God says in His Word (in
Romans 4: 17) that He calls things which are not yet true the truth as if they already were
true. On that day He told me that He had seen my obedience to Him in the face of great
opposition and that He would continue to empower me to overcome the opposition! He
called me He who overcomes! And He said I would teach others how to overcome the
opposition too. He said I would teach others about victorious living! And it is increasingly
happening!
"Jerusalem" isn't the only new name God has given me, just the latest one. A few days
after I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, He actually called me His "fellow servant!"
What a humbling experience that was! And years ago, when I finally began to realize that
Jesus is not only my Redeemer and Savior but also my rightful Lord, fully entitled to my
obedience and service, He began to call me "Onesimus," which means useful. ( Found
in Paul's short letter to Philemon, just before Hebrews.) Before that, He called me several
other names which all pretty much meant ignorant and useless but beloved anyway!
Using these nicknames, Jesus has called me ever deeper into friendship with Him. The
Bible tells about other people who had this experience with the Lord. And, if you will listen
for it, perhaps the Lord will deal with you in this way too. Do not doubt that He is seeking a
deeper friendship with you!

Covered Bridge which I crossed every day as a grade school student in the 1950's.
