4.13.22 "Think with Me." Those are the words I heard the Lord say last night.
My first thought was: "How do I do that? Your thoughts are so much higher than mine. I could never think with You. Thinking with God seems very intimidating to me! It would be like putting me in a room full of geniuses or scientists. I would not understand what they are talking about and have nothing to add to the conversation.
My second thought was that I do pretty well at taking every thought to the obedience of Christ. Some days, that is a full-time job.
My next thought was realizing that Father was wanting to take me to another level. So, I just sat with Him, listening.
He said, "It's true, My thoughts are higher than yours. But I invite you closer. I invite you to come up higher. You sit with Me in heavenly places which you perceive as a place of authority. And, it is a seat of authority. But it's also the place of My presence, a place where you will begin to have higher thoughts along with Me."
"Just as you spend much time in My Word to re-program your mind, I invite you to spend much time in the high place of My presence where you will begin to access My thoughts. I have thoughts on many subjects that I long to share with you, thoughts that will give you an advantage. Come up here and think with Me."
I studied "high places" in the Bible and found they were primarily places of idol worship. However, sometimes they were places where God was worshiped. Here are a few verses that stood out.
This verse tells us He wants us to know His thoughts.
For behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind
And declares to man what are His thoughts, He who makes dawn into darkness
And treads on the high places of the earth, The Lord God of hosts is His name.
Amos 4:13
This verse tells us he wants us in the high place where we can suck honey (wisdom) from the rock (Christ) and oil (anointing) from the flinty rock (Christ).
He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the produce of the field;
And He made him suck honey from the rock, And oil from the flinty rock,
Deuteronomy 32:13
This verse shows us that the high place of God is accessed through worship (harp, tambourine, flute, & lyre) and that it is a place where prophecy is birthed.
Afterward, you will come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is;
and it shall be as soon as you have come there to the city,
that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place
with harp, tambourine, flute, and a lyre before them, and they will be prophesying.
1 Samuel 10:5
Several verses indicate our steps become more sure and take us into the high call of God in Christ. I think our steps become more sure because we have tapped into His thoughts.
And He has made my feet like hinds’ feet,
And makes me walk on my high places.
Habakkuk 3:19, Psalm 18:33, 2 Samuel 22:34
I've been invited up to the high place to think with Him. I believe you have been invited as well. He wants to give us access to wisdom and oil from the rock (Christ), give us prophetic utterances, and ultimately, He wants to give us an advantage. What an honor! What a privilege!
