Ascend
Up To the Holy Hill of God On the Wings of Praise and Thanksgiving
These
words came to me,
Do
not allow the enemy of your soul to turn you from having faith
in me. Be not cast down in your soul because of the delay you
have received. I am on time with my answers. Continue to serve
me with joyfulness and gladness of heart for the abundance of
all things. You have prayed unto me. Do not stop here to serve
the god of doubt. Doubt has approached you. It has drawn near
your bosom and offered you a pillow to fill with tears. Do not
stagger at my promises through doubt and unbelief, but be strong
in faith while you give glory unto me. The things that you are
feeling and experiencing are a natural byproduct of the war for
the new territory that I am giving you.
You
have not fallen, neither have my promises fallen to the ground
unfulfilled because of delay. The delay is only a pause for you
to rest in me, for the steps of a good man are ordered by your
Lord. I delight in your way. Though you fall, you shall not be
cast down. I am upholding you with my right hand. I am merciful
and gracious. I am slow to anger and plenteous in mercy and truth.
During this pause or delay, allow your soul to pant after me.
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so allow your soul
to pant after me. Continue to thirst for me. Pour out your soul
unto me with the voice of joy and the voice of praise. Allow the
voice of praise to ascend unto me. Send your praises high above
the temptation to allow your soul to be cast down. Keep your hope
in me, and your soul will not be disquieted, for I shall command
my lovingkindness in the daytime. In the night, my songs shall
be with you. When you pray unto me, I will answer, for I am the
God of your life.
I
have not forgotten you; therefore, do not be turned unto mourning
because of the oppression of doubt and unbelief. These are real
spirits. They are warriors in high places. They have been sent
to distract you from my promises. I have not opened my mouth and
lied unto you. I cannot lie. Let every man be a liar, but I am
true. I am true unto you and my word.
Be
not distracted from the fruit of my promises. The noise of the
things that come from the deep are attempting to affect the health
of your countenance. Offer praise and thanksgiving in the face
of this noise from the mouth of doubt. Continue to hope in God,
the health of your countenance. I am the strength of your life,
and I have sent forth the light and the truth this morning. I
will lift you when you are tempted to mourn. I will bring you
unto my holy hill and to the tabernacles of praise. Here in the
tabernacles of praise, you will find the altar of God and exceeding,
great joy. You cannot fly away on the wings of mourning. Mourning
will carry you to the deep pits of this life. Ascend up to my
holy hill on the wings of praise and thanksgiving, and there will
you find rest.
