The Holy Spirit showed me a picture of huge mountains surrounded by low valleys. There were many people down in the valley looking up wondering how they could ever ascend to the mountaintop. Some were in deep valleys, some were in valleys of water, some were in barren valleys and some were in narrow valleys. As I was pondering this, I realized that these valleys were actually formed by flowing water. The greater the deluge and the water pressure, the deeper the valley went.
The Lord says; I have been with you through the valley, and I am about to release you out of your valley experience. I have created you to be a mountain climber, and I will make your feet as hinds' feet that know how to walk on every type of terrain. I will give you the strength and endurance to climb. Your time in the valley has strengthened you to walk on high places, because you have learned how to walk in the low places. You will be identified by your tenacity as an overcomer and will be used to raise others from their valleys of darkness.
A New Perspective
In this valley you have learned how to be more than a conqueror and overcome all obstacles in your way that would prevent you from reaching your spiritual potential. I will use you to raise others from the valley of discouragement and even out of the valley of the shadow of death. As you approach the mountaintop, you will have an extraordinary view and a clear insight into My nature as well as My plans. You will have a new perspective and see beyond the mountains. As you refuse to allow the situations in your life to keep you from being defeated. Your past valleys will not dictate your future victories says the Lord.
Psalms 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me, Your rod and Your staff they comfort me.
Isaiah 40:4-5 Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
Micah 1:1-4 Look! The Lord is coming from His dwelling place; He comes down and treads on the heights of the earth. The mountains melt beneath Him and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.
This past weekend there were numerous live stream conferences online. Some had hundreds of people in attendance, and some even had thousands. People filled auditoriums, churches and tent meetings worshipping Jesus side by side. Each person expressed their heartfelt worship with joyful singing and raised hands. Each ministry had their own unique music, and each person had their own personal way of connecting with God.
A few weeks ago, I had a prophetic message titled "The Double Portion Anointing." I wrote about how Elijah trained and mentored Elisha, up until the time the Lord took him up. Elijah asked Elisha what he wants from him when he departs. He replied: "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." So, he said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so." The Lord is about to release a greater anointing on many of us in this day. There are those who paid the price, passed the tests, kept their hearts pure, and followed closely after the Lord.
As Holy Spirit filled believers, Jesus has given us the ability to see, and do things beyond the natural realm. He has given us discernment from heaven's perspective. We should be able to perceive what the Lord is doing and then release it on this earth, whether it is preaching, a prophetic word, a word of knowledge, healing or one of the other gifts of the Holy Spirit. We have been given these unique gifts to be able to tune into the frequencies of heaven and discern the voice of God.
