"Got My Mountain!"

 "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: 

and we shall reign on the earth."

(Revelation 5:10)

We have the Lion of Judah living and reigning inside us!  We move from Victory to Victory, from Glory to Glory, from Holy to Holy, as we climb the ladders and mountains of life's dilemmas  ... hardship, disease, pain, hurt, persecution, attacks, trials, scars  ... the list goes on and on, but "when" we conquer, "when" we overcome, "when" we stand in the face of falling, "when" we endure beyond the pain, "when" we reach the apex of the mountain  ...  we rule and reign in the earth with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ! 

"He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; 

and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will 

confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."

(Revelation 3:5)

That's what the climb to the top of the mountain is all about  ...  it's about becoming a Disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, taking up our cross and following Him, loving the Truth to the death, willing to give all for the gospel of Jesus Christ.  This is how we "reign" in the earth as kings and priests; we do the work the Lord did; we become His hands and feet; we anoint and heal the sick; we deliver the possessed in His name; we lay hands on people with the power of His Name, His Word, and His Blood  ...  We must reach that place that Moses reached, that crag of wonder where Holiness dwells, that misty aerie of silence where God lingers, that place in His presence and His Glory   ...  that mountain top  ...  

Things happen on the mountain, ask Moses; it's the mysterious place of encounters, visitations, whispers, still small voices, assignments, and not many want to go there.  Why? It takes time, much time, dedication to the climb, and patience in the wait once you stand on the peak.  It's a view like no other, a place of loneliness, a rocky domain far above the mundane, a step into the high known to meet the unseen, and it affords a meeting like no other! Sometimes, the climb is long and hard and others must hold up the arms to win the battle, but the one whose arms are held high has paid the price to see the victory!

Every time we overcome a temptation; every time we say No when satan whispers yes; every time we shun the pleasures of the world for the Holy ordinances of God, every time we prefer good over evil, every time we stand when the fall was eminent; every time we endure when we could give in, every time we praise when we could blame  ...  we climb a little higher, we approach the glory, we show our hunger a little stronger, we near the apex and we see Victory clearer!

When we have overcome the thing that so tried to destroy us; when we have endured through the long climb and our bloody hands reach over the misty crag; when the Vision has enlarged and come to full view; when the dream has manifested its shadows into reality of light; when at last we have seen His Glory in so many areas of that hard painstaking trek to the top; we can finally say it; we can utter those monumental words  ...  "Got My Mountain!"
