Ears to Hear (Part 27)

    Habbakuk 3:19;  "The Lord God is my Strength, my personal
bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds feet and
will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and
make spiritual progress upon my high place [of trouble, suffering, or
responsibility]! "


The Spirit of the Lord says;

    I Am calling you up to the highest place, to the mountain of the
Lord.  All this time you have been going through a refining process.  I
Am bringing up to the surface of your life, the gold that has been
buried deep in you, My grand purpose and plan for you before the enemy
set out to try to kill, steal and destroy it.  It has been buried
because of old dirt.  The old dirt of your past
and of previous generational weaknesses.  The gold is priceless, it's
value will begin to go up and up.  This refining process has brought
fires, fires of testing and fires of purification, removing the 'dirt of fear', 'the dirt of low self image', the 'dirt of repeated failures', all the 'dirt of the old man', and all the other dirty lies
of the wicked one.  As you continue walking up towards Me, you
have increased in your ability and in your stability.  When you slipped
and fell, you got back up, you would not quit.  You heard Me, calling
you to come up higher.  You threw off the dirt and begin to allow the
process of refining, becoming stronger and choosing to become a vessel
of honor.
    For there were those who began this walk with you and they are
no longer here.  They could not stand the intensity of the fires of
change.  They could not stand the steepness of mountain climbing.  As you
continued to climb up the mountain, they fell away.  Sometimes it
seemed as if you could not take another step, yet you continued by
faith and motivated by love.  Here is where the impossible, became
possible; you begin to learn to lean your entire personality over on
Me.  When you were weak I remained strong.  As you took the mountain one
step after the other, you began to realize the very thing that was sent
to destroy you, I began to turn it around for you.  You started to
develop 'spiritual muscles', getting stronger even through opposing
circumstances.  Every new level of the mountain you have been faced with
new levels of trouble, suffering or responsibility, yet you pressed,
becoming surefooted even in those times.  I brought you up the mountain
on purpose, so that you would see the need to rid yourself of the heavy
weighted baggage that you were carrying.  At each new height, you would
let go of those things that so easily beset you, desiring to be free.  As
you journeyed from the place of familiarity closer to Me, you can hear
Me voice clearer.  I Am saying, "Come away from the noise of living in
the valley, come where adventures of real living and great encounters
with Me will show you things to come."  As you keep walking through
troubles and sufferings, I will cause you to take the mountain much
quicker now, yes, even now.  Remember I know the way!
