COME UP HIGHER









I want to share something that the Holy Spirit showed me some time ago. I saw countless hot air balloons being released high up into the sky. They were arrayed in brilliant colors, shapes, patterns, designs, styles and sizes, and each one was unique in appearance. 

It was fascinating to watch as the balloons continued to ascend to high altitudes, but there were some that seemed to be just lingering in mid air. Then I noticed that there were those that began to descend back down to the ground.  It seemed as if the balloons that were descending were losing their air.  Some were flowing down slowly but there were others that were descending quickly. This is what the Lord is showing me.

Every one of us has the opportunity to rise up to a higher place in the Spirit realm.  There is an open heaven and a great acceleration available to the body of Christ. The balloons that continued to ascend represents those who are experiencing all the benefits of the Covenant that Jesus has made with them. Some are receiving divine encounters with the Holy Spirit even through difficult times. They are being raised up to greater levels and walking in the power and authority that has been freely given to them. These are the ones who are entering into their positions and callings against all odds. They are as the three hundred men chosen in Gideon's army. Those men were not particularly favored, but they were chosen because they were not fearful, they were bold and they were always ready for challenges. They were strong in warfare, alert and watchful of the enemy.

Judges 7:7 "Then the Lord said to Gideon, "By the three hundred men who lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, every man to his place."

The balloons that were stuck in mid air represents believers who seemed to be stagnant and stuck in the same position for some time. They feel dry and depleted and God seems so distant. Those of you that are in this place need to encourage yourselves in the Lord and rise up once again.

1 Samuel 30 :6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

The balloons that were descending represents believers that have become weary in well doing.  They feel spiritually depleted as if Gods glory has left them.  They have lost the determination and diligence to serve God that they once had. Those of you who are in this place needs to make a decision that you are going to push through no matter what is holding you back from rising up.
 
Galatians 6:9 "And let us not be weary in well doing : for in due season we shall reap , if we faint not."

I want to encourage you to press in for what God has for you and you will be amazed at the heights that He will take you to. There is an open door. Jesus is calling us to come up higher in this time and season. 

Revelation 4:1 "After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, 'Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.'

Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power

Image
   October 16, 2014 Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power In the First book of Corinthians Chapter two, Paul told the Corinthian church that he did not come with eloquence of speech or carnal persuasiveness, but with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Paul did not speak mere words of man, but he ministered in demonstration with miracles, signs and wonders following. When Paul prayed for people they were healed, set free, delivered, and even the dead were raised. He told the people that their faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. The Lord says; This is a new day. You are the generation who will walk in authority, power and demonstration of My kingdom. I am releasing My glory on this earth as it is in heaven. You have been created as conduits to be used in miracles, signs and wonders. I am looking for those who will speak to the mountains, rather than encircle the mountains repeatedly. I am lookin...

"HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE"

Image
June 10, 2016 "HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE" The Holy Spirit showed me a campfire that had died out but underneath, the embers were still red hot.  The embers radiated heat long after the fire was out and could easily ignite again if they were stoked, poked or if the wind blew upon them.  The embers were smoldering which means that they were still burning, yet without a flame. The Lord gave me this analogy from Leviticus 9:23-24 of how God supernaturally sent fire on the altar for the burnt offerings.  Although the fire was kindled by God Himself, the priests had to continually keep it from ever dying out.  This required a regular removal of the ashes and anything which would prevent the fire from burning. Jesus is rekindling the fires that have gone out of His people so that we will become a flame of fire for His glory. The Lord says I am igniting the lives of My people once again to go out into all the world an...

“The Desert Places and The Resting Places Encounter – January 16, 2019”

Image
                          As I lay down to rest, the Lord came and invited me to follow him. In the vision, I get up and follow him and find myself walking in a vast hot desert. All around us are sand dunes as far as I could see. The wind was hot and was blowing sand on us as we went. My feet were struggling to keep up with the Lord as He purposefully trudged forwards to His destination. I pressed harder in the soft sand and said, “Lord, where are we going?” The Lord just kept walking. After awhile, the Lord slowed down and I saw that we came to a place where there was an old well in a cleft among the dunes. It was ancient, well used, and it had old dry clay built up all around the sides. There was an old clay jar laying by the well that still had an old rope tied to it.   The Lord leaned against the edge of the well and asked me if I wanted a drink. I was amazed that He asked su...
