The Lord is always looking for His children to respond with
spontenaeity! Why? Our love was never meant to be a scripted
or pre-planned task but a spontaneous expression to Father.
The Untaming is an intimate expression of our love for Him
and His love for us.

This new project
was inspired by a full-time baby sitter, that takes care of
babies all day long! She told me that she had been using certain
cuts off various soaking CDs that I had previously done and
these certain cuts would help either knock the babies out
(figuratively speaking - sleep) or put them as ease and rest
when that are rambunctious and loud. I'm quickly finding out
that the adults like this as much than the babies!!! (probably
more since it can help to put the babies at peace). So hey!

Crested
Butte |
|
The
Lord spoke to me about invitations and tickets to Crested
Butte. I thought to myself, “Crested Butte?”
What’s up with that? Thinking about it I pondered
a little and thought well I’m recovering from a little
shoulder injury but hey sounds like a deal! I’ll take
some free tickets! For those of you who don’t know
what “Crested Butte” is. It is a ski resort
in the mountains of Colorado. To be quite honest skiing
is not really my favorite thing to do. Especially right
now when I desire some springtime/summer action concerning
the weather. Give me a surfboard! I'll go ride the wave!
But I pondered a little further and thought I would look
up these words. These words are definitely personal but
I believe they have across the board application to His
Body.
Here are the definitions:
Crested
-
the highest part of the mountain.
Butte – an isolated mountain abruptly
above surrounding land.
|
The
Mountain Peak |
|
God
is calling us to the very highest point of His Mountain,
the Mountain of the Lord. This is a heavenly call. He
is giving us hind’s feet for His High Places.
It is a very clear call but all the same with any invitation
that God gives, it requires us to respond with an invitation
to Him that He might take us the journey to His places.
With every invitation there must be a response.
Habakkuk 3:19
The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my
feet like hinds' feet, and he will make
me to walk upon mine high places.
The definition
for “Butte” really speaks in terms of the mountains
He puts before us. There is a place of isolation that God
prepares for us. As the Mountain is before us, it is not
an easy task to climb that Mountain, pioneer that raw terrain
to the top. It is not a convenient or feel good situation,
but somewhat abrupt, steep and unexpected. But His grace
does make the journey a lively experience! There is much
adventure, encounter and learning that happens on this trip.
And though we do walk a good portion of the way, God
offers us tickets to get on His own “lifts”
that take us up the mountain much quicker, beyond our expectations,
while we get the benefit of enjoying the scenery as well!
While we ride we get to view the things of heaven and have
heaven to earth perspective on things. But there
are both aspects to the journey.

Lift
Tickets |
|
Praise,
throne room worship and the joyful shout will cause us to
ascend the mountain.
Psalms 149:6
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And a two-edged sword in their hand.
It is the high praises that will break us in to the heavens
and break us out of the earthly concerns and circumstances.
High praise and worship are the tickets for these
lifts. When we "lift" up our voice we
will be "lifted up" into higher glory and heavenly
reality. The spirit of revelation will fall and we will
be freshly endued with strength to ascend the mountain,
hearing His voice and reinging over our enemies with power
and authority.

Led
to the Mountain |
|
Matthew
17:1
Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his
brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves.
Another
word that I investigated somewhat was “mountain”.
Apparently Jesus loves mountains because He went up them
often.
Matthew 5:1
And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and
when He was seated His disciples came to Him.
We also find divine attraction from the multitudes when
Jesus came down off the mountain as well as Jesus being
spiritually prepared as He came down:
Matthew 8:1
When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes
followed Him.
There are many other passages where Jesus went up to the
mountain to pray. Of course He was transfigured on the mountain.
He also released divine commands to His disciples as He
ascended down from the mountain.(Matt. 17:9) We
see also that ”He led” His disciples up the
“high mountain” by themselves to be with God.(Mark
9:2) This is another picture of the place that
God prepares for us and He leads us there to be with Him
that we may be holy conduits of His glory and grace. It
was in the place when He was alone with Peter, James and
John that He was transformed before their eyes. That
mountain experience transformed all three of these and marked
them for the rest of their lives. Peter, the apostle,
refers to the experience:
2 Peter 1:17-18
For He received from God the Father honor and
glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory:
"This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
And we heard this voice which came from heaven
when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
After this encounter they were never the same for they had
seen Jesus in His glorified state. This does not mean that
they had experienced it all - but that they had tasted another
level of His glory. This taste is a deposit for a deeper
desire for more of the realities of heaven. Not only that
but the mountain experience is where Jesus was affirmed
in His Sonship before them all. And it is on the mountain
that we receive our affirmation from the Father as His sons.
Being manifested as sons of God in the earth, clothed with
His glory as a testimony to all creation.

Enjoy
the Ride |
|
We all come to certain places on the mountain in our journey
with God. There are plateaus that we rest on. God calls
us to come up higher! He says, “You have rested. Now
get’er goin!” In other words, it is
time to move on to a higher place in my Spirit, in my Presence,
in desire, in hunger, in commitment and consecration. Maturity
is a process. We will be maturing our entire lives. So just
enjoy the ride, rest on the plateau when you “need”
to (and you will) and then venture on further by His strength
and grace. This is not the kind of things we can make happen
in our flesh. Just like any army has to rest so do we. We
must enjoy the journey and allow Him to carry us. Because
if we hink "we" are strong that is deception.
Let the "weak" say I'm strong in the Lord and
His power! That is why Paul only boasted in his weaknesses
so that Christ’s power may rest upon him. Our
strength is found solely in Him. What we do is
choose, obey, follow, say yes and ask for His help. Then
He will take us from that point of admission of weakness
and dependency upon Him to the place where His strength
fills us to enjoy the ride.
