Everyone loves that feeling of finally reaching the mountain top and having a clear, vivid vision of the surrounding region. We stop and gasp at the view, taking in all the beauty of the landscape below! We breathe in deeply, the beautiful crisp mountain air and instantly feel incredible! Like Jesus, we are called to live from the mountain top. The Christian life is an elevated one. High above the earth, not on the ground where you can not see with the chickens, but like eagles we rise up in the thermals and glide about in the Spirit - living free and unencumbered from this world with all its stresses, issues and neurosis. Ascending the “the hill of the Lord” is the way David referred to the life of prayer and worship in Psalm 24. What are the benefits of a life of ascension? Apart from being refreshed and invigorated, the body of Christ will be filled with an unusual discernment that comes from sight. It’s time for a much greater seer gift to kick in for the church, but it will not happen if you don’t turn the TV off and enter the worship zone where the Master mountaineer, Jesus, will teach you to ascend the high places. When we live like this, no matter what the devil throws at us, we will overcome, and we will do it with great joy and a sense of lightness as we leave behind the warfare below. My prayer for you in this teaching is that the glory and grace of ascension comes on you and over you -lifting your heart and even your head to a realm where He dwells. Leaving you feeling as light as a feather and addicted for more!
