I heard the Lord say, “The Ascent has begun. Do you perceive it?”
Our journey begins today. We are gathered together of One Accord because we are in of the heart of the Father. Friend, our pursuit must begin in a low place, at His very feet. We stand before a mountain. Our hearts set ablaze by the Presence of the All Consuming Fire. We are expectant for what the Father will do over the next 40 days. We are on the precipice of a great shift. A shaking is coming that will test us to our very core. And so we come together in fasting and prayer for a divine purpose, to glorify God by allowing ourselves to become… Prepared Vessels.
As we embark on this journey, let us remember that we empty ourselves for a great reason. The purpose of this "painful emptying" is to be filled with a "joyful overflowing" of all the fullness of God. Remember, the best wine is saved for last. A great outpouring is coming for those who live "crucified lives" walking in obedience to the Father. And today, we set our faces like flint to pursue all the Father has for us. The great Pastor, Theologian and Prophet Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said, "When Christ calls a man he bids him come and die." Today, we come to God as those who have died to our fleshly desires that we might live our lives unto God.
You are being invited into the Fellowship of the Burning Hearts. Come and see what the Father has prepared for you. The Father declares, "Divine anticipation and excitement is yours today."
