• The mountain top: INEFFABLY AMAZING… up there, the world fades.  God is there and i am there… no one or thing can burden me.  i am fully enclosed inside His Hands.  Those who’ve been undeservingly privileged know what it’s like to be on the mountain top… i was there because i absolutely DID NOT earn it; it’s just time that God ordained for me to be enriched and encouraged by the outpouring of His amazing blessings… finding restoration and healing.

  
  

  Staying atop the mountain forever is what i long for… but selfish.  God’s extravagant mountain top experience is purposed for sharing the blessings – the encouragement of the body of Christ – not mine alone.  My life isn’t meant to be lived out in spiritual solitude… we are meant for spiritual solidarity: a never ending excavation of a singular commonality – Jesus Christ.  Excavation takes time and careful unearthing, minding every detail so nothing gets missed.

  
  

  Kinda hard to encourage others from the mountain top, no matter how loud you think you can shout or how far you can throw rocks.  Noise or the shifting of rocks has been known to cause an avalanche.  ^__^

  
  

  i am a bit fearful of coming down… i’m just realizing that God’s kneading of my heart has softened it to vulnerability…

  
  

  i know… that’s why He tells us to put on the “Armor of God”: the Breastplate of Righteousness, the Helmet of Salvation, the Belt of Truth, the Gospel of Peace to protect your feet, holding the Shield of Faith in one hand and the Sword of the Spirit in the other, which is the Word of God. 

  
  

  We are Prayer Warriors.

  
  

  Take note: no armor is given to protect our backs.  That’s what our brothers and sisters in Christ are for.  i got your back.  Got mine?
