New Beginnings, Go Up Higher In 2015 #2

There’s something majestic and magnificent about going up a mountain to elevations of 10 to 15,000 feet. The air is pure, free of pollutants; on a clear day you can see as much 10 to 12 miles away. In Matthew chapter 17, Jesus took his disciples; Peter James and John UP the mountain. As they went up, Jesus was transfigured before them: His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light. A voice came out of a cloud that said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; Listen to him.”

Transforming things can happen in going up higher with Jesus. Later, when coming off the mountain, a man came and knelt before Jesus and said, “Lord have mercy on my son, He has seizures and suffers terribly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. I brought him to your disciples, but they couldn’t heal him.” Jesus then rebuked the demon in the boy, and it left him. From that moment the boy was well. The disciples asked, “Why couldn’t we cast out that demon?” Jesus said, “You don’t have enough faith. Then He goes on to say in verse 17, This kind cometh not but by prayer and fasting.”

In Matthew 6, Jesus talks about three essential things in a Christian’s life. “When you pray, when you give and when you fast!” Could this be a key to unlocking doors for our lives? Could this be the answer to breakthroughs and breaking out of bad habits and chains that seem to hold on to our lives?

In Daniel chapter 10, we learn that Daniel fasted 21 days and the spirit prince of Persia was blocking him from receiving revelation. Then the archangel Michael came to release the answer Daniel had been waiting for. It’s interesting that Michael, the archangel said, “God heard your prayer from the first day and now I am come to reveal or release the vision for the future.” I truly believe that God can show us things we would never see without taking a step up in fasting. Jesus never said, “If you fast but WHEN you fast.”

Are you ready to prepare yourself for New Beginnings in 2015? Why don’t you take a step, along with me and many others across this world who are engaged in a 21-day fast. Let’s see what the Lord will show us in seeing Jesus and His glory like never before. Yes, I believe He will give you Revelation, which ultimately will bring Transformation in your life.

Come on, I challenge you to go up HIGHER and see something Magnificent and Majestic that could bring a 100-fold increase in your life.
