Let us go up the mountain

"Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways so that we may walk in his paths." Isaiah 2:3b

We NEED the mountain top. It is a place of growth. From there you can see the vision that God sees and look out over the vastness of his perfect plan. It gives new resolve to putting one foot in front of the other and clarity in walking along the path.

A large gathering of born again believers can be one way to climb the mountain. There is power and passion when we all get together. Usually there is an anointed speaker, an on fire worship leader, and a well thought out program that has been bathed in prayer. Typically those in attendance at these events are the ones truly hungry to grow which also provides a clear invitation to the Holy Spirit. All of those things help to bring us to the mountain and the feet of Jesus. But those events are few and far between, or too costly and time consuming to commit to more than one or two a year.

We need passion, vision, and direction every day of our lives here on Earth if we are to live God filled lives that pour out on to all those we minister to. We need to be filled ourselves.

Each Christian possess within themselves the ability to be filled to the top with the rich blessings of God. Not material or worldly things but the abundance of God's treasures to us on Earth. The fruits of the spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22). The Holy Spirit does not only show up when we put on a show.

I am learning in this time as well. I will continue to share my thoughts and meditations about how we can be in the high places with God each day of our lives.
