Going up to the high places [May 1, 2023 ]
Going up to the high places
Psalm 23:4
Yeah though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me
In the verse above the Psalmist says with God’s help, He can go through hard and challenging times, because God will see him through.
High places in biblical terms means places of worship. Therefore, “Going up to the high places” means worshipping continually in the presence of God.
Ephesians 6:10-13 says
Put on the whole armour of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, for we fight not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers ( paraphrased)
Putting on the armour of God involves putting in place your spiritual weapons. Worship is one of the spiritual weapons you can use to tear down the devil’s kingdom and fight your spiritual opponents.
Matthew 6:12,-13
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom the power and the glory forever and ever
This verse from the new testament encourages us to pray each day for God to deliver us from temptation and evil. It is part of the prayer Jesus taught His disciples.
Learn to worship God sincerely and earnestly and you will be able to overcome your challenges and fulfill your ministry.
