The Mountain of God Part Three

            Moses and I have continued our climb up Father’s holy mountain. On the lower slopes I was made aware of just how fallible in so many ways I am. It is better to have the Spirit of God show me these things here where he can gently and lovingly deal with them.


  Yet more than that I am also filled with a growing sense of Fathers ways the higher I climb. We came to a ledge upon which were a bench and a brook flowing in front along with an assortment of fruit trees. Moses looked at me and smiled as we made our way into this beautiful place. There was a small table and golden goblets along with a basket of fruit that had come from the fruit trees. My spirit rejoiced as Moses and I sat down.

  I have grown so fond of Moses I feel a kinship of spirit with him that is very strong. He at that moment looked at me and with that spiritual awareness that is just one of the qualities I love him for began to speak.

  “ Michael anyone who would walk with Father in his high place must first walk up the barren lower slopes of his mountain. So few have the patience or inner fortitude to do so. Father told you years ago that their was a higher revelation and understanding of his being that went beyond the steps and today you shall begin to receive that inner revelation he has for you.

  The mountain over which we have climbed so far has been steep and barren a world of boulders and rocks. Yet this is also the place where you receive that inward revelation of seeing yourself as Father sees your flesh. You have seen on our journey here under the scrutiny of the Spirit things on a higher level about yourself, and I might add what is common of all humans just how vain, petty, and disobedient all people are. Yet you endured it because you were driven to press on because in your heart of hearts you longed to do whatever you must to not only please Father but to also find that new inward revelation you have longed for all your life. “

  “He then reached over and took a piece of fruit from the basket and handed it to me. I could feel such a powerful anointing radiating from it. I somehow knew that I was to eat it but felt in my heart that Moses had more to tell me before I did so.

  “Michael Moses said, you have as yet no comprehension of just where we are and what that fruit represents. So few have ever made it to this place even in heaven many have never reached this place. Michael in undergoing and enduring the walk up till now of this mountain Father has step by step with an inward revelation changed your heart. You no longer are filled with human ambition and self-promotion. You have longed to simply know him in his fullness and have proven your heart to Father. In our journey up the mountain we were also in that part of God’s connection with all that exists in the material universe and him. In other words the lower slopes of his mountain are the connection points between Father and all existence both in the spirit world and the natural.

  Michael you have entered a new dimension of Father here and have many things to learn. Here you will learn how to walk in Fathers presence in a new way with a greater understanding. There is so much to see and learn but it all starts with that fruit in your hand. Michael it is Fathers will that you eat it but first be aware of what it will do. You will have your spirits eyes opened in a whole new way. Father will communicate his heart to you and you will for the first time see things as he does.

   Michael up to now you have had spirit to spirit communication with Father where you have from time to time felt in his presence his heart. However once you eat that fruit you will gain a new eternal understanding in which you shall never depart. The first step in walking in Fathers anointing is to view all things from his perspective. You will gain a new humility for with a clear vision you shall see him in a new way.

   It will bring with it consequences you will find a far greater spirit of intercession both for others and to seek Father for his will. The compassion that you long for and have ministered out of shall become an ever-abiding presence in your life. It will cause you to put others needs before your own and instill in your spirit a desire to walk in holiness with Father on a whole new level. The petty distractions of hell that have up to now from time to time dogged you shall be no more a factor in your life, and you will be willing to go any where and suffer any hardship if necessary even the sacrifice of your own life if Father requires it.”

   With this Moses ceased speaking and things got very quiet. I looked at the fruit in my hand and gained a new awareness of the challenge he was asking of me. I could lay the fruit down and walk away but to gain that awareness of him that I wanted to continue up the mountain I would have to take this step. This would be the dividing line when for all time I would forever be changed and I would both receive a new awareness or anointing from Father but also a new responsibility as well and once eaten there would be no going back. I turned the fruit over and over in my hand and looked up at Moses and he was quietly staring at me but saying nothing.
 
I then dropped to my knees and said “ Father I would know your heart and my greatest desire is to be an obedient servant. I know somehow that this is but one step in many yet to come but one I must take for any to follow. I reflected on Jesus, and how before he was born must have surely reflected on the cost and made
a similar decision to be obedient to his Father to follow him although it would mean the cross and Calvary in doing so. I was in no way comparing myself with Jesus but the Spirit was revealing to me that every true servant of Father is at some time faced with this decision and now my day had come. Tears welled up in my eyes and I knew that through all the suffering I had undergone in my life that Father had prepared me for this moment. I raised the fruit to my mouth and with a heart full of love and adoration for my Father consumed it.
