A “Going Up the Mountain” Season – Psalm 24
God is leading us into a ‘going up the mountain’ season, where we will ascend with Him and learn a new rhythm and synergy in His presence. It will be a season of coming up the mountain, receiving, then returning down the hill and releasing it to the world.
This year, will you give yourself more to the secret place than the public space? Will you choose the carpet over stages? Will you come and be poured into more than you pour out? Will you lay down your ambitions and ideas and trade them for His? Will you not rush the special moments that come?
“For up the mountain, He will give us new eyes and a new way of seeing. He will give us a heart after His own heart, and we will feel what He feels, and we will move in step with Him instead of against Him. But be prepared, because this posture will ruin our plans and make us look lazy & foolish; for while others are choosing the hamster wheel, we will choose to sit at His feet. It will sometimes feel counter-productive, but He will accomplish far more through us as we choose to ascend. And from the mountain, He will reveal His heart and plans to us and invite us into them for the days to come.
Will you break new ground with Him? Will you choose what He is doing rather than what the masses are calling ‘kingdom’? Will you do it His way? Will you build what looks foolish to the wise for a season? Will you speak the language He gave you, even when most don’t understand? Are you okay with confronting religious norms and stuck-in-the-mud ways, even if people disassociate from you? Will you speak what He asks you to speak, even if it makes you look strange, arrogant, or undignified? Will you rebuild His Temple, His people – His fallen altar (2 Chronicles 24)? Will you prioritize His presence and build a place for Him to come (Acts 7:49)?
Come up higher and learn to wage war from the mountain! It’s by being seated in Him in heavenly places that we are victorious. It’s through the finished work of the Cross and His Blood that we are undefeatable.
God is giving us discernment to see where people have been in bed with Jezebel and choosing divination over what can only be acquired by intimacy with Him.He is leading us to a company that are not just friends, but covenant family
.”The lure of the world is increasing, but God is calling His Church to draw a line in the sand and surrender all idols at the altar. The changing of the guard will be a shock for many, for He is not speaking of a change of assignments, but the demotion of the unfaithful and the promotion of the faithful that will come in mid to late 2024. For He will give His glory to those who will steward it well.
So lift your heads and swing wide your doors and let the King of Glory come in! And His glory will reveal what is hidden and expose the enemy’s plans; purify what is unclean, fix what is broken; and reconnect what has been disconnected; and take back what has been stolen. All the gold is His, and the silver is His,” and He shall take back the financial mountain. the governmental mountain and evict the imposters. And He shall take back all the mountains that now stand menacing before us.
So lets ascend as His Bride and take back the mountains in Jesus name. Amen.
Sol. Joan
