May 12. 1678. the Mountain-Seal.
Jane Lead's sermon emphasizes the importance of faith and prayer in overcoming spiritual obstacles to achieve restoration.
Jane Lead preaches about the importance of seeking God's intervention to overcome the obstacles and challenges in our lives, using the analogy of a great mountain of earth representing our struggles that can only be dissolved by imploring and calling upon God. By engraving God's name within our hearts and trusting in His power, we can see miraculous breakthroughs and obstacles removed, similar to how Joshua divided the Jordan's floods. This process leads to the unlocking of the seven properties for a perfect restoration in our lives.
Text
This world I had further given me in upon these Properties. A great Mountain of Earth does yet lie upon them, and before them, therefore it is impossible for it to dissolve away. Grudge not therefore thy time here wholly to spend, and fixedly here stand, imploring and calling upon Great Jehovah, (from His great Name Engraven within the Table of thy Heart) then may you see it rend away, as Joshuah did by that Name, Jah, divide Jordan's Floods, and so make this Mountain to pass away: That the Key may come to reach the seven Properties, which will surely bring to the perfect Restoration.
