Bishop, it is not at the foot of the mountain or during the climb that a person receives a revelation, change or transformation of life, it is at the summit, the top, up high, where everything is TRANSFORMED, where everything BEGINS and CHANGES to a new LIFE. This is where we take all of our questions and receive all the answers through the OBEDIENCE of climbing without doubting.
This is what happened with Moses: "Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai..." Exodus 34.29
With Abraham: "...as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided,” Genesis 22.14
Elijah: "Now therefore, send and gather all Israel to me on Mount Carmel..." 1 Kings 18.19
It was always on mountains that God made the greatest promises concerning prosperity, justice and law.
But, above all, the greatest promise of SALVATION and TRANSFORMATION was given on a Mount called Golgotha: "...went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha…” John 19.17
We should climb in silence, in spirit, only listening to the voice of the Spirit and, up high, at the time of the Transfiguration, listen to the voice of the One who called us and chose us in humbleness and willing to obey and do everything we are told and revealed.
Bishop, may we all be there with you in spirit, on the 14th of April.
"But he questioned him, “Wasn’t my spirit there..." (2 Kings 5.26 HCSB) in truth, at Mount Hermon?
May this day be a deciding moment in my life and all those who sincerely seek the fullness of the Holy Spirit
