THE CLIMB OF FAITH

SANDY RHEMA

HEARD: Prophetic wing. Take off.

VISION: I saw some wings start to flap as though ready to take off.

HEARD: There’s light. Let it shine in the midst of thee.

VISION: I saw a rock climber trying to climb straight up a cliff.

HEARD: Lord help us!

CONFIRMATION: Right after I heard and saw this, I turned on the tape and Bobby Conner was speaking about ascending the hill of the Lord. He was saying that we can not do it in the power of our own flesh. In our climb up His holy hill, the Lord is stern in wanting us to leave the power and pursuits of our flesh and the building of our own agendas. He wants nothing less than the holy image of His Son and for us to take on HIS agenda. Bobby saw a pile of carnage as people failed the climb because they were trying to do it in their own strength and were not climbing in the Spirit.

Bobby spoke of the things that inhibit our climb. [Bobby Quote]: "We can't joke it off, or mesmerize ourselves on TV. There's a peg in the holy place and we can't get rid of it. You know I am telling you the truth. We are going to see the wind change. (!!!!) We're going to soar, but we will get killed soaring in the flesh. If you soar through that 2nd heaven with a polluted life, you won't get out of there. We have got start handling the things of God with holy hands."

Ps 24:3-10 NLT

Who may climb the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies. They will receive the LORD's blessing and have right standing with God their savior. They alone may enter God's presence and worship the God of Israel. Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. Who is the King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, invincible in battle. Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. Who is the King of glory? The LORD Almighty-- he is the King of glory.

VISION: Some time in the mid 80’s I had a vision of the Lord’s mountain. It was dark outside and I saw many car headlights headed up the mountain. Most of the lights were on the bottom one third of the mountain. There were some in the middle section of the mountain and very few on the top. When I saw this I had the instant impartation that this was the Psalms 24 mountain, and the headlights represented the body of Christ and where they were in their journey for their King of glory.

HEARD: I'd rather climb the hill of the faithful than enjoy the sins for a season.

HEARD: Where do you want to go now? Bud. She climbed up that mountain. Steep.

Ps 132:17 KJV

There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

[I had come to a point of total exhaustion and could not go another step.]

HEARD: Don’t quit. Just rest. Enjoy our time together. Fellowship. Climb. I will carry you.

WORD TO PONDER: DON’T QUIT, JUST REST

When you are so weary you can not take another step, know that I AM with you. When you think that you have taken your last breath, know that I AM with you. When you think you have spent your last dime, know that I AM with you.

You feel that you are on your last leg because the passion and zeal that you once felt is gone. It is not a time to quit, dear one. Just rest. Rest in Me. Yes the climb has been long and tough, but now is not the time to retreat or look back. You must move on. Just say you are willing, then call upon Me and I will sweep you into My arms and you will once again have the passion and zeal to continue to climb. It is in those times when we fellowship together as you experience My nearness and are touched by our communion that you receive My supernatural grace to continue on. So rest in My arms of love, once again.

Ps 116:4-9 NKJV

Then I called upon the name of the LORD:"O LORD, I implore You, deliver my soul!"

Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful. The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

GRANDMA ANNA RHEMA

VISION: [I was sitting in the family room when I went into a trance.] I was climbing up a shaft very laboriously by way of my elbows. At the top I could see a brilliant light. Suddenly I knew that if I reached the top and walked into the light I would disappear. While still pondering the ramifications of that, I saw myself still climbing. I pulled myself over the edge with great effort. I stood up and walked without hesitation into the light. Then I heard the Lord say, "Colossians 3:3." I went to that verse and was shocked as to what it said: "For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." (Col 3:3 KJV)

WORD TO PONDER: THE HILL OF THE LORD

This is the generation whose lights will burn brightly. Together, as they climb My holy hill, their fervency will shine brighter and brighter. See My holy hill illuminate in the darkness! United, these flaming hearts make the hill of the Lord become a beacon to all the world.

Come unto Me all who have hungry hearts. Seek Me with all your heart. Climb My holy hill and indeed, you shall see My face. Love Me with all your mind, your will, your heart, your strength. With everything in you, climb to Me. Higher and higher, persistently and tenaciously one foot in front of the other, climb My hill.

You will learn the great secret as you climb. The higher you come into My Presence, the weaker your own independence and personal strength will be. You will find there is no life outside of total clinging to Me. Dear ones, the tenacity of your clinging and your perseverance will be rewarded. If you seek Me, you will indeed find Me. Your king of glory shall in deed come in.

"Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in." (Psalm 24: 3-7)
