Freedom To Stand On A Mountain

“I pray that you, being rooted and established in Love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the Love of Christ, and to know this Love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
Eph 3:17-19

Paul seems to be praying here that we would be able to experience

a freedom that is, in fact,attainable for us. We are deeply rooted in the Great Love of our Almighty God, for He has established us as His children, His beloved, His warriors. We are marked as His once we acknowledge that we have been saved by His Grace and Mercy through His Son, Jesus Christ. Therefore, we no longer have to strive for Him to see us and we don’t have to go off and slaughter animals to be forgiven of our sins either.

We are simply required to stand in front of Him, naked and honest and free, so that He can show us His Glory.

He tells us in 1 Kings 19:11

“’Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord,’ and behold the Lord passed by…”

Then in 2 Chronicles 20:17 God tells us,

“Take your positions; then stand still and watch the Lord’s victory.”

We are free to be 100% genuine in His Presence… no pressure to be a “super Christian” or to have it all

figured out. On the contrary, God deeply craves for us to experience Him. He is constantly pouring out Love and Divine Inspiration upon us, and if we were to simply stand still and let it saturate us, then perhaps we would become “fuller”, as Paul states it.

Recently, I have been experimenting with what it could mean to experience this Freedom and Love that Paul describes. It began with a horse.

I was in a stable a few weeks ago, grooming a lovely white stallion named Fergie (I like to call her Fergilicious), and then out of nowhere the song “All Creatures” popped into my head so I opened my lips and let it out. Both the setting and the song were nothing new, but something about that space became sacred in that moment as I felt free to worship and to just “be” before the Lord. It felt like I was just standing on a mountain, hands raised, exuding praise. And I’m pretty sure that Fergilicious was worshipping too.

I challenge you to take something ordinary in your day and make it an extraordinary experience with the Divine. Perhaps you would like to try something new: like painting, writing a poem, or jogging with your hands raised high and making funny faces. Or perhaps you just want to lie in the middle of an open grass field. Whatever it is, if you allow yourself to be free in God’s presence, you will be able to experience the Love that is being poured out on you in a completely unique way that “surpasses knowledge”.

When you stand on top of the mountain, anything is possible…

I AM

more than flesh...

an UNTAMED and UNDIGNIFIED

MYSTICAL WARRIOR

WHO IS STANDING ON THE MOUNT BEFORE THE LORD

STANDING QUIETLY

BUT NOT PASSIVELY.

READY FOR WHAT THE WHISPER IS TODAY.

I have been REBORN

through FIRE and the HOLY SPIRIT!

Surely I will never be the same again...

sabbath today

sabbath is what it needs to be to me, today, provided by His glorious inspiration. He sees me, yes He sees me. and He knows what I need. My Rock is a Divine Provider.

Hallelujah,

I am free, free to

float and meander and

to cross boundaries i thought were barred.

Praise the one with the key

for my freedom and the love that is

Great enough to shout at the wall.

My Lover, how you love me

is a complete mystery but i am

caught, lovely and willingly, in your

strong right arm.

On your mount i will stand

to hear you to see you to feel

your whisper brush against my back.

Today is different than yesterday.

Today i am still your beloved,

but today will never be again

and so on this day, i will be removed from

worldiness and from my own shackles

and live in the wild, barbaric freedom found

where you are sought.
