		         Come Up Higher

	"Those who hope in the Lord shall renew their strength. They 
	shall soar on wings of eagles, they will run and not grow 
	weary, they will walk and not be faint."  Is 40:31


Dear ones, I know that times can be trying in these days. Do you not 
know that I see all your pain? I see all things and I see the obstacles
that which you must learn to over come. You over come these things not 
by your own might, but by My Spirit will you over come them.

When the easterly storm winds blow upon you and you feel the turbulence,
do not lean on your own understanding in it, but lean on Mine. My ways 
are much higher than your ways.

The eagle seeks refuge in the cleft of a rock during a storm, and 
there, it is protected by an umbrella in its natural environment. I am 
the Rock which over shadows all that which would come down upon you. 
Seek to be hidden in Me, and you shall find that I have always been 
over shadowing you, for I look out for your well being.

When the crows seem to come in for attack at the low altitudes in 
your life, know that I have made you so that you will soar on wings 
of an eagle and fly high to where you can not be touched by the lower 
things of this world.

I call you up higher to a spiritual realm and it is a place where you 
are hidden in Me. This is the place of refuge where you can not be 
found by the worldly things of this life, but instead, you can only 
be seen in Me, in eternity. I am life eternal.

For the carnal world knows not and sees not of the spiritual things. 
It is only foolishness to those who are not in Me, but you dear ones, 
are one with Me.

I have chosen you that they should learn of Me, and they should 
discover that life is in Me, a place of abiding, where one can seek 
refuge in the storms of this life.

This is where you soar on wings of an eagle and are hidden in Me. 
This is where I show the world just who you are, in Me.
