The Ascended Approach
Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, Come up here…. Revelation 11:12 NIV
Today I bring a reminder- come up, ascend! I was reminded of this verse this week. While on vacation I am at a hotel that, to better serve their guests, has a walkway bridgefrom the hotel to the beach. It enables you to avoid crossing a very busy road that is always full of traffic using the bridge at the second story level on the hotel side andleads to an elevator that lowers you down to the sidewalk on the beach side. At the end of the walkway on the beachside is an elevator that takes you up and down from the walkway to the sidewalk and safely to the beach below. It is a daily, sometimes multiple times a day, ascension and descension.
This access is available to those with a key. You must be a guest of the hotel and use your room key to access the elevator. Using the elevator and bridge allows you to avoid the dangerous road crossing below, as well as gives immediate access to beneficial areas on each side, both at the hotel and the beach while avoiding chaotic and busy areas such as the bustling hotel lobby, and public entry accessible to everyone arriving.
By the Spirit, we always have a choice. We can take the ascended approach to our destination by aligning with the Father in all areas- body, soul, and Spirit and using the keys that we have been given thus far. We avoid hazards and dangers we may never even know about on the roadway below, and we even breeze past busy lobbies or holding areas and avoid being delayed on the way. We have the ability to access bridges and by-ways, lifts and steps with the keys that have been given, they simply must be used. There is a different sound and frequency coming from the ascended place and even a broader perspective of what we see and what we hear. Choose the ascended approach today, use the keys, and Come Up Here.
