Message of the Month of March
I want to share briefly with you today in the special message of the month and to know what it really means for us.
This month of March is the Month of Higher Heights.
I'm gonna bring to you 3 important areas that the Lord wants to bring you to Higher Heights.
I want to read to you first from Exodus 24:12
Exod.24.12 - And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.
God asked Moses to come up. Couldn't He have given it to Moses where he was? Why did God say for him to come up to the mountain? Because if the significance.
For example when He said to Abraham, "look up and see if you can number the stars". He was meaning contact with Abraham's spirit/Faith. Because faith is the response of the human spirit to the word of God.
God could communicate with him in the valley or right in his room, but God said "Come up" . It's significant of a calling to a higher height. Where you leave everything behind you and go for the word or God.
He was told exactly what was going to happen.
Notice something else in the 13th verse.
Exod.24.13 - And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.
Exod.24.15 - And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.
Exod.24.16 - And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
That's quite interesting. God asked him to come up to the mountain and for 6 days, God didn't say anything. He waited until the seventh day until He called Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
It takes Seven days before God responds.
This month, God is calling you up to his written word. He wants your attention on his word this month.
And as you begin studying, don't be in a hurry.
V16-18
Exod.24.18 - And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and got him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
Think about it. God invited him. It took 7 days before he heard from God. Then He was made to stay 40 days and 40 nights.
It was like saying "Let it soak".
Moses stayed long enough for the word to have an impact on him.
He meditated on the word. It was different for Moses than it was for the children of Israel.
They knew the acts of God but Moses in new the ways of God.
This month, God is calling you up to give attention to his word so it can stay in you and you will be able to teach it to others also.
This month God is calling you up.
It's a calling to a higher height.
2,
Proverbs 25:6
Prov.25.6 - Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
Prov.25.7 - For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
(Read from Message translation for clarity)
Now, that means that this is about Not pushing yourself forward.
Don't project yourself.
It's better that you be invited forward than pushing yourself forward.otherwose you get humiliated.
The Lord is telling you that this month of March, He is moving you from where you've humbly been to a higher and more prominent position of ..
God knows where you've been. He will exalt you in due time. There is a due time in the kingdom of God right now. It's the month of Higher heights.
The Lord is going to move you to another position of greater honor.
He is going to do it this month for you

Revelations 4:1
Rev.4.1 - After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
Rev.4.2 - And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
In verse 1, John takes a call. The voice said to John "come up here and I will show you.."
Again, couldn't He have shown Him where he was?
Did John climb the steps? Or leap from one platform to another?
What happened to John?
Suddenly, He was in the spirit.
When that voice spoke to him, His spiritual eyes were opened. .
He moved to a higher realm of life than the ordinary plane of the senses. This is so important.
Ephesians 1:17
Eph.1.17 - That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Eph.1.18 - The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
He is dealing with spiritual understanding here.
(Read verse 17-18 in AMPC)
You receive spiritual understanding as your heart is flooded with light. The opening of ones spiritual eyes so you can see, recognize and have spiritual understanding.
This month of March, God's plan and purpose is bringing you into a knowledge of spiritual realities.
You will have spiritual revelations this month of March for a higher walk with God
Your spirit will be educated in the things of God.
Once John was in the spirit, He saw things that His optical eyes didn't see.
He had amazing revelations of the future if things that would happen hereafter.
From revelations 4 to 22. Amazing revelations that God gave to him.
And here's what the Lord is going to do in your life this month
It's a month of higher heights, The Lord is calling to to a higher realm of glory, understanding and walk with God.
If you are ready, you will find yourself in the right place, at the right time for the right purpose in the right way.
That is how to walk with God
Prayer.
