Today I want to talk to you about God's desire to raise
us up. I call it, "the resurrected King is resurrecting me." God has
jumped through a lot of hoops to position us to be raised up. We all
have been in low places, at the base of a mountain looking up. How will
I get my family back on track? The marriage is on the rocks man, and so
we dig around, and try and get a footing, trying to fix things, patch up
the sinking ship. But God's desire is for you to be raised to the top of
the mountain, great marriage, promoted in the job. Your business has
been struggling, but God wants to raise it up to the highest, most
successful business. He says in Deuteronomy 28:1 (NKJV), "Now it shall
come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to
observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that
the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. I
like how it says it in the NET in Deuteronomy 26:19, "Then he will
elevate you above all the nations he has made and you will receive
praise, fame, and honor. You will be a people holy to the LORD your God,
as he has said." His desires, His strength, His thoughts, His wisdom,
His emotions, His favor, His victory, His armor, His sword, His
authority, His promises, His angels to serve you. He wants to elevate
you. Who is okay with God elevating them some today?
