Climbing the Mountain of Glory in Prayer 7-2-10

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Steady my thoughts and stir my spirit, as I watch and wait in our morning time communion of prayer together. … “Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. The glory of the Lord settled on Mount Sinai…. Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel. Moses entered the cloud, and went up on the mountain…” (Exodus 24:15-18). Moses climbed the mountain of Your Presence with his feet to enter the cloud of Your glory. But we can climb that mountain with our prayers, and the cloud of Your glory enters us. As Your cloud covered that mountain, so Your Holy Spirit covers our minds and hearts, our thoughts and desires, as we embrace Your Presence in the communion of prayer. As the fire of the Lord burned on the top of the mountain, so the fire of the Lord now burns in our hearts. In that place, as we behold You, You are changing us into Your image “from glory to glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18, NKJV). And just as Moses came back down the mountain, so we come out of the deep place of communion with You in prayer into the place of our everyday lives around the everyday people we will encounter. But just as we continue to “pray without ceasing,” we continue to carry the glory of Your Presence with us wherever we go, changing the atmosphere around the people and places wherever You send us. That’s a means of Your grace to spread the fire of Your Spirit and the glory of Your Presence through Your people of every tribe and tongue and nation until “all the earth shall be filled with glory of the Lord” (Numbers 14:21). With Your Spirit in our hearts through prayer, we will “arise, shine; for (our) light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon (us)” (Isaiah 60:1). So keep filling me up, firing me up, and sending me forth to carry Your glory within me and wherever You send me today. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Amen.
