Summary: He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
OPERATING ON HIGHER GROUNDS
PSALM 18:33 - He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
HABAKKUK 3:19 - The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.
Strengthening of our hinds' feet or making our feet like that of a deer is divine, it is both a physical and spiritual empowerment for a total take over. In this season, God has decided to make us fit and able for the year's victory and testimonies. Without hinds' feet, we may not have higher grounds.
Higher ground is a position of advantage, superiority and dominion. It is never a crowded place, it is also a place of separation from mediocrity and worldliness.
Ways to reach the higher grounds:
1) Walk in the Light: 1 John 1:7 "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
This Light gives us superior knowledge, empowers and distinguishes us.This Light is Jesus Christ, He is the true Light and Satan cannot comprehend the Light. John 1:4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Light kills darkness. Moses received and walked in this Light, it was recorded in Exodus 34:29-33 that his face emitted powerful light that the nation of Israel could not behold his face. One man carried the glory of God that is greater than a nation. This is where God wants us to be. Saul who became Paul had encounter with this Light on his way to Damascus and he surrendered to Jesus Christ; Acts 9. Stephen had a revelation of this light and his burden and pain did not mean anything to him rather he prayed for those persecutors. We cannot walk in the Light and have a different understanding of God. This is that Light that shines on the path of the just, Proverbs 4:18 The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
2) HAVE AUTHORITY AND EXERCISE DOMINION: Psalm 18:37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed. 38 I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet. 39 You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me.
One of the best gifts of God to us, is Authority over all created things; physical and spiritual. We are licensed by God to reign and subdue the earth. This means that no earthly battle or circumstance has the ability to overcome us. We are above all things after God. The Greatest One lives in us and He must be given full support by us to dominate; 1 John 4:4. We are Kings, enthroned by the Most God. Kings do not beg, we must be bold and courageous to manifest the glory of God in us. We are repositioned for total takeover, 'operation pursue and recover all'. The kingdom of darkness is aware and recognizes our spiritual authority over them, this is a truth that we must not forget. This is the reason, for casting out and loosing devils.
3) COMMAND POSSIBILITIES: Mark 9:23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
The language of possibilities is the Word of God. There is ultimate power in the Word of God spoken through faith by us. Everything is possible, not some things. But it is possible to those that believe. In the spiritual and physical realms, the Word of God surpasses devilish incantations. It carries a driving and compelling force, this is because everything created was made by the Word of God. I have seen the power in the Word of God in my ministrations severally, in one occasion I went to a hospital to pray for a stroke patient, I went there and applied the Word of God to Him through Prayers, after 5days , his twisted mouth, hand and leg were restored and he was healed by God. Alleluia! The man of possibility must be a man of the Word of God.
It is the will of God that we should prosper spiritually and physically, walk in the Light and you will remain a wonder to this world and the kingdom of darkness. I will hear of your testimonies, Amen.
