Understanding Times & Seasons: Time To Lift

“In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.
Many peoples will come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths.’
The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”

– Isaiah 2:2-4 | NIV

As we move steadily toward the closing chapters of time, just as Christ Jesus foretold, the world is undergoing significant shifts—politically, economically, and socially. While the carnal mind is disturbed by these global tremors, those who are spiritually discerning recognize the hand of God orchestrating His divine plan.

As a child of God, it is your privilege and responsibility to live with spiritual understanding of the times and seasons. God’s desire is that His Church not be swallowed up by the chaos of the world, but elevated above it. This doesn’t mean we are removed from crisis, but that we are shielded in the midst of it. We are called to soar above the turmoil through Divine Protection and Divine Provision—both flowing from the Sovereign Hand of our God.

Make no mistake: only those in ‘Noah’s Ark’ will survive this present-day flood. That Ark is Christ. Elevation comes through simple, unwavering faith in the Risen Jesus. This is why He came—to make us immovable, unshakable, and victorious, like a mountain held firm by the power of the Holy Spirit. This power is yours through faith in the Blood Covenant Christ sealed with His death on the Cross.

As the Mountain of the Lord, here are five mandates you must embrace:

1. Be Visible, Not Hidden

You are a city on a hill, a mountain that cannot be ignored. All nations must be drawn to you. Settle for nothing less than to be seen, recognized, and Highly Lifted Up.

2. Be Positioned in Value

God is directing the nations to stream to His Mountain. You are that Mountain. They must come seeking what you carry. Settle for nothing less than to be placed among the highly esteemed.

3. Maintain a High Altitude

The Lord’s Mountain stands above every other hill, higher than human systems and worldly standards. Christ, not culture, is your benchmark. Settle for nothing less than to live at the altitude of integrity, truth, and holiness.

4. Be the Epicenter of Instruction

From the Mountain, God’s laws go forth. You must be willing and prepared to instruct the world—not just with your words, but by your life. Settle for nothing less than to lead by example, Highly Lifted Up to influence others.

5. Be a Cut Above the Rest

The Mountain of God is in a class all its own. Zion is the benchmark for excellence, purity, and power. You are called to live in that “Zion-Class.” Settle for nothing less than to be distinct and Highly Lifted Up above the noise and compromise of the world.

To step into this divine elevation, a radical shift in mindset is essential. You must reject every victim mentality and embrace your identity as more than a conqueror.

Be Lifted!
