Salient points:
- The closer we walk with God, the greater our vision will be
- God will use every valley experience to elevate His children
- Don't allow present position to control your emotions
Notes from Pastor Kent Christmas’ sharing/testimony (March 29, 2023)
God is usually referred to as the Most High God.
When Adam fell, it was his spirit man that died (not physical death), which also meant that he fell from that position of where God was. From that moment on, man is in a different position from where God intended him to be.
The higher we go in our walk with God, the greater our vision will be, the greater the prophetic understanding we will have.
How do some Christians overcome the most challenging of circumstances? When they live in a place where they're “high enough in God” that, by the spirit, they can look down and see that at the end of their trial, victory awaits. So, they don't allow their present position to control their emotions.
God will use every valley experience to elevate us (if we walk with Him).
If we want to go up higher, sometimes we have to go down; if we want to ascend in the spirit, we have to go down on our knees; if we want to be a ruler, we have to be a servant. That’s just the way God does things.
Sometimes going through the low places means we're actually climbing up higher.
Many have found some of their greatest victories, greatest strengths, maturity in God and the revelation of God, in times when they felt like they were in the lowest place that they could ever be.
Our walk with God is a continual elevation. We are escalating in God every day. We should come up higher to slowly go back to the eternal position that God has for us.
The enemy recognizes the power of being in high places.
While everything about our walk with the Lord is to go up higher in Him, everything about the devil is about demoting people, bringing people to a lower place.
Don’t allow the enemy to keep us in a low level of discouragement, depression or unbelief. Those are positions that are opposite of where God wants us to be.
Faith causes us to ascend.
The spiritual wickedness in the high places that we are dealing with in most nations now is finding evil operating in positions of governmental authorities. That’s where the enemy likes to get to because it gives him the power to control how people live.
So, in taking the land, the first thing we need to do is to tear down the high places of our world (false worship, sin, philosophies) [not a physical realm].
