Come Up Higher

My heart raced toward a blinding light, wondering what was on the horizon. A breathtaking vista unfolded before me as I emerged into the limitless expanse. A pristine, sparkling realm, untouched by human hand. The expanse of space was so clean, pure, and bright that I gazed into the distance and beheld the angelic beings in countless numbers, filled with joy. A celestial choir of melodies filled the air, transforming the very fabric of the clouds into shimmering stardust. It was a breathtaking spectacle, a moment to be cherished for eternity. What treasures did we forsake on the original Earth? Why are we in this perverted one that squeezes humanity so much?

As I soaked in every moment, musing deeply within, I heard a voice call, “Come up higher!” My spirit lifted, carried on the wings of the clouds, ascending into the presence of the Most High. There, wrapped in the essence of the Divine God, I bowed before the Father of all spirits—unseen yet ever close. His radiant light, brilliant and boundless, pierced through my very being—a light too powerful to resist, unveiling all within the heart. The heavenly Jerusalem. The assembly of the living God, Jesus, the Mediator of the new covenant. Let every soul revere Him who reigns eternally upon the throne. Fire. Thunder. Lightning. The awe of the Almighty. His majesty enthroned as King forever. I found myself utterly lost in His presence, unlike ever before. And then, a voice spoke from behind, reaching my ears.

“Those who come to Him must believe that He is who He is, and He is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Shaking while basking in the glory, I mused on the Words as I knelt face down.

The voice had spoken to me from Hebrews 11, verse 6: “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.“

Come up higher! For once, and perhaps going forward, elevate your thinking above the noises of the earth. Pause for a moment and imagine the endless possibilities in the infinite word of God. Humanity reels under fear, doubt, chaos, negative news, and many bad things, but there is an opposite in the presence of God. There is joy and pleasure in His presence (Psalms 84:2). Though the outside rages with fear, doubt, and gloominess, joy is within us. There is righteousness, peace and joy in His Kingdom (Romans 14:17-19). Though our outward man perishes, our inward man (that is, our spirit) is renewed daily (2 Corinthians 4:16).

The question is: where is your heart? What do you believe in?

I know the present times exert so much pressure upon the souls of humanity, but it is also the time to say, “Lift up your head, oh ye gates, and be ye lifted up everlasting doors. And let the King of glory come in.” Psalm 24:7. It is a time to allow the King of glory to take preeminence in us, For the Lord Jesus has made us have preeminence in all things. Colossians 1:18. I know you may doubt, but that does not invalidate the intrinsic power in the word of God. Let me tell you, the earth can rumble endlessly, and the oceans can rage, but God’s word remains forever.

He will not vacate His words for anyone. It is His integrity. Let God be true, and let every man be a liar. When a man doubts the word of God, he/she calls Him a liar. He is not a man that should lie. Neither does He change His mind.

The Holy Spirit, through Paul, said all His words are yes and amen in Christ Jesus to the glory of God through us (2 Corinthians 1:20). He doesn’t say yes today and changes His mind tomorrow. If He does that, then He is a liar. He can never lie. He said in Isaiah 55:11, “My word that goes forth from My mouth shall not return to Me void. But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”

No matter what the earth brings, His word concerning us shall come to pass. Don’t doubt. Don’t despair. His words are His bond. He has put all His integrity as GOD in His words. If He fails in His words, He will cease to be God. Our circumstances are far too little to make Him a liar or unseat Him as God. Don’t label Him a liar with your doubt and confession. He is your Father. Give Him His due respect.

Come up higher in your thinking of who He is. Come up higher above the noises and turbulence around you. Come up higher and leave the works of flesh, for He says in Romans 8:8 that “those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” In the same way, He says in Hebrews 11:6 that “without faith, it is impossible to please God.”

Doubt, unbelief, and works of the flesh do not make us please God!

Come up higher. Set your affection on things above. Set your affection on things that delight Him – that is, on things that He has commanded us to do for Him and His kingdom.

Let me ask you: Where are you in your journey with Him? What do you mean by where I am? Is that your thought? Let me rephrase it: What are you doing for Him consistently? How much are you conscious of Him in your heart and around you? Are you pleasing Him? Are you doing that which delights His Heart?

Come up higher in your worship of Him, in your study of His words, and in your service to Him.

Behold His presence; it is full of glory, majesty, power, dominion, and honor. That is who He is. No one can touch you in Him. He is Jehovah Almighty. No one like Him. In all eternity, there is none like Him. He created all, and none created Him. No one knows His beginning, And He has no end! Yield yourself to Him. Let Him help you. Will you?
