Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. I took one step onto the front porch, and I paused to capture this photo – the morning sky is the perfect backdrop for the Thunder Prayers I’m about to take before the Throne of a Mighty God. When you look at it that way, is there any such thing as being “too” Majestic? When I approach the Throne of the Living God, I approach Him with boldness, and if it were possible, I’d brace myself “like a man” the way Job did as I prepare to Receive what He has for me on this new day. Kingdom Work is serious business, and (prayerfully) I’ll have the Opportunity to make an Eternal Difference in Lives for all the days of mine. Kingdom Work costs you EVERYTHING if you do it “right,” so remaining Focused on the Condition of my Heart is my first Priority. When I’m in Full Swing for the Kingdom, I face what feels like never-ending adversity. Most of the time I’ve got a mountain to climb and a few mountains to move, but with God, all of that is possible…IF I DO NOT GROW WEARY OF DOING GOOD. No mountain is too big when you have a Purpose to climb it. So, my Purpose was Reinforced at daybreak, and my Spirit was Refreshed and Revived for the Journey. The adversity I may face today will be just a minor bump in the road because I’m Determined to stay on Track, and I Refuse to let go of the Hand of the God Who leads me. Isn’t that the way it is with you when you are doing Kingdom Work, too?

It would be so nice if the red carpet got rolled out for us whenever we are in full swing for His Full Service, but it doesn’t work that way. When we’re in full swing, Humility is our middle name, and the red carpet isn’t even on our radar screen. When we’re in Full Swing, we become a threat to the “spiritual forces of evil” that would much rather we sit back and shut up than make a Difference in a dark world. When we’re in Full Swing, our Light is brighter than it usually is because the work we’re doing has Everlasting Benefits. Some are drawn to the Light, while others will do whatever they can to avoid it altogether…either way, we don’t give up. When we’re in Full Swing mode, the mountains we face seem to get taller, and sometimes it feels like we take one step forward and two steps backward, but that’s not the way it is at all. All those minor inconveniences are intended to make the Mountain LOOK like it’s too big to climb and that the top is impossible to reach…but the height of the Mountain NEVER really changes…only the Journey does. No matter how big that mountain is, it’s worth climbing when you have Purpose, and if we’re just willing to keep Climbing, we’ll reach the Top where Victory is found. The Living God warns us about what it is like when we’re in Full Swing for Him, and He even tells us that others will “hate” us because of Him. But only those of us willing to Climb the Mountain in Full Swing ever know what that’s like, because it’s the Light that threatens the dark…and not just our existence in a dark world.

God has given me a Voice and I’m a willing Vessel to use it, so I’m more visible to the “spiritual forces of evil” that would much rather I sit back and shut up, and I face lots of minor inconveniences because of it. When I pray, I pray THUNDER prayers and I rattle the heavens in His Name. When I speak, I mention the name of Jesus OFTEN, and I smile when I think about how every demon in Hell shudders when I do. When I work inside of the Gifts He’s given to me, I SPEAK UP, I SHOW UP, I PRAY UP, AND I CLIMB UP, over and over again. My Journey has developed my Boldness, and my Faith is now Unshakable. I climb Mountains as often as He tells me to, and I don’t care how big they appear to be because I am aware of the outside influences that would love for me to give up. I can climb mountains, and I can MOVE mountains with His Help as long as I don’t allow the minor inconveniences discourage me, and if I REMAIN in Full Swing. I’m a Spiritual Force to reckon with in this dark world, and my Voice is used by the King of kings. Of course, I’m going to face a few obstacles here and there in the Journey! But I understand the significance of my Journey, and I’ll always keep climbing no matter what. No mountain is too big to climb when you’ve got an Eternal Reason to climb it, Amen?
