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.

As we step into the new year, I sense a great expectation rising among believers. The Lord is stirring something fresh, and anticipation is gaining momentum. Many who walk intimately with the Lord are believing for fresh encounters, and there is a hunger for more of the things of God. I see the body of Christ pressing in through prayer and fasting for something new, something fresh. They crave the fresh manna. They are tired of the old school doctrine, and they are now seeking revelation and the mysteries of God.
There is a story in the book of Numbers when the Lord told Moses to send twelve men, one from each of the twelve tribes of Israel to spy out the land of Canaan, which is also known as the Promised Land. As I read about the giants in the land and thought about all my friends and ministers who are going through intense spiritual warfare, the Holy Spirit said: "It comes with the territory." Then He said: "Go and take possession, because I have made you well able to overcome."
Every year as Christmas approaches, I like to write about the incredible story of Jesus' birth and the parallel of being filled with the Holy Spirit. Can you imagine the overwhelming emotions Mary must have felt as she cradled Jesus in her arms, knowing that He was the long-awaited Messiah, God incarnate. He wasn't just a human being with divine qualities; He was God, embodying both divine nature and human nature simultaneously.
