Ascending
“It is time to soar,” I heard the Holy Spirit say this morning. “It is time to ascend on High, to My Mountain. In the world you have tribulations and trials and distress and frustrations; but in My presence, you will find rest and perfect peace and confidence.“
With this, I asked: “My King, how do we soar? And how do we come up higher?”
The Gentle voice answered:
”By remaining entrenched in both — Me and My word. To soar means to spread your wings and let go of anxiety, worry, and fear. The key is to know me intimately and to enter the realm of My Kingdom in the spirit.
If you abide in Me, and I in you, nothing can touch you, because you are safe in My care. Have I not commanded you to be very strong and courageous? So set your mind on things above and not on things on earth. Do not concentrate on the surrounding storms and turmoil around you. Take your thoughts captive. Bring them under the obedience of My authority and My blood, the blood of the lamb that was shed for you.
Be still and know that I am the LORD of hosts. For if you know Me, your heart will not fear. In Me, there is only joy, hope, and perfect peace. I am the supreme Judge. I reign, and I am exalted and to be feared above all gods.
Further, I hear Him say, “Perceive that Fire goes before Me and burns up My adversaries all around. If you are inside My Fire, you are safe. If you allow your thoughts to stay focused on the circumstances, then your soul is exposed to the storms all around you, and you will experience the roaring waves that come to consume you.
Remember Peter, he walked on water with me; nevertheless, the moment he looked away, the waves engulfed and pulled him under.
One minute, He was soaring, gazing into My eyes, everything around him faded away. With this perspective, he stepped boldly into the realm where everything was possible for him in Me.
Yet the moment he allowed his eyes to look at the circumstances and the impossible in the natural, his fear took over, and it swallowed him up into the abyss. I reached from on high and drew him out of many waters that tried to take him. Doubt is your enemy, it will hinder you from ascending.
So fix your eyes on Me, the Alpha and Omega. I am the beginning and the end. Nothing is impossible with Me. Let go of unbelief. Trust Me. Surrender your anxieties and silence the voices around you. Take a deep breath and know who I am.
Be renewed in your mind. Let your heart be anchored in Me. Lean not on your own understanding. Incline your spiritual ears so you can hear. If you stay focused on Me, you will be safe. I am a strong tower, and I have commanded My angels to take care of you.
Soaring is flying above the circumstances. There, your soul will be at peace. Come into My chamber. I have prepared a table for you in the presence of your enemies.
Come Up Higher involves overcoming barriers that stop your natural mind from finding rest. The key is to yield your natural thinking to My authority. Move in the Spirit, be led by Me. With this, your spiritual senses are becoming your reality, seeing and hearing in the spirit.
In that mental stage, you will perceive My Kingdom that is within you and all around you.
Your spiritual eyes will be enlightened and receive sharp eyesight, seeing in the spirit. You have already been transported to heavenly places with Me and are seated far above the enemy and the storms. I am waiting for you to perceive this as your reality.
Again, I say, trust Me and turn away from what you see in the natural. Gaze into My glory, and arise and shine, for the glory of the Lord is upon you.

With this practice, everything else will fade out of view that is rooted in fear and darkness, and it will transform you into a radiant, luminous figure. Just like I did, when I ascended on the mountain with My disciples and was transfigured into My true image, which is Light in front of them showing them who we truly are.
With all this said, learn to soar with Me it is time. Spread your wings and fly.
Reflections:
I love diving into research when it comes to learning the depth of what certain words mean. Especially getting more insight into the Hebrew language and its greater meanings in words.Something I have learned a long time ago is that the word Faith means Trust.
In my own opinion the word “Believe” is a weaker perception when it comes to the depth of “Faith”.
Trust is Faith, Faith is Trust. To trust someone means to allow to be vulnerable, since it is a safe place. This is an act of faith because trust means to give oneself over to the trustworthy friend in complete confidence.
Hebrew carries a lot of meaning. Here a small break down on the word trust:
The primary Hebrew words for “trust” are
1. Batakh: It means to “be bold (confident, secure, sure), rely upon, cling to (like a vine or anchor). To lean on, feel safe. It implies dropping self reliance.2. Bittachon: Is the noun form derived from batach. Indicating inner peace and freedom from fear if abiding in God.
3. Chasah, a verb meaning to take refuge. It also means to lean on someone for protection during a storm or anything that is chaos or danger. It means to hide in the shadow of God’s wings.
4. Aman is a root for “faith” or “believe,” meaning to be firm, steady, and put complete trust in someone.
