Today I am sharing a part of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on us riding with Him on the high places in complete rest.

This revelation is a call from the Holy Spirit to move beyond merely receiving His guidance into a deeper dimension of being completely overtaken by His Presence, so that His glory, anointing, and authority can flow through your life in a greater unprecedented measure. The question He presented was: Will you ride with the Holy Spirit further in His vehicle of glory, or remain in the place of “just enough,” rather than entering the overflowing bounty of His oceans of glory?

Although we may already be walking daily under the direction and guidance of the Holy Spirit, He is calling us higher into the place where His Presence so fills and governs us, so that through us an outpouring of His anointing can affect nations, change circumstances, and make righteousness become the desire of people’s hearts.

This picture of going higher with the Lord is drawn from Isaiah 58:13–14, where the Lord promises His people that those who honour His holy day, by turning away from their own pleasure and ways, and delight themselves in Him will be caused to “ride on the high hills of the earth” and be fed with the heritage of Jacob. This positioning in the Spirit represents more than just our ordinary Christian experience. It is a place where the Holy Spirit controls and directs our lives to where we begin to partake of everything the Lord says is available to us and we experience daily the fullness of the Lord.

The Holy Spirit highlighted the importance of the Sabbath or the day of rest as a significant part of entering into this dimension of riding with the Lord. In Genesis 2:1–3, after completing the heavens, the earth, and everything within them, the Lord rested on the seventh day, blessed it, and sanctified it. The striking revelation we miss is that man’s relationship with the Lord begins, in this sense, from the place of the Lord’s rest which He named the sabbath.

From scriptures account man clearly did not participate in the six-day creation work because he only entered into the picture on the seventh-day rest where the Lord’s work of creation had already been completed and everything was functioning according to the Lord’s order. Therefore, from the Holy Spirit’s perspective, Sabbath is not merely about us ceasing ordinary activity. It is a time where we delight ourselves completely in the Lord by giving Him our undivided attention.

The Lord makes His requirements very clear in Isaiah 58:13–14 where we are instructed to stop doing what pleases ourselves on His holy day and instead make the Lord Himself our delight. We are to honour the holy day by refusing to walk in our own ways which means we cease relying on the thoughts, opinions, judgments, and decisions that originate from ourselves which determine the path we follow.

The warning for us is clear that our own way ultimately leads to death, so we must cease from directing ourselves independently of the Lords input and leading. We are also instructed on the Sabbath to stop seeking our own pleasure and to stop speaking our own words. This fact connects directly with Jesus’ words in John 6:63, where He declared that it is the Spirit who gives life and that the flesh profits nothing.

The implication is that human words originating from ourselves do not carry the same life-giving power as words given by the Holy Spirit. From this commandment, the Holy Spirit is calling us to stop speaking merely from ourselves and learn to speak only what “thus says the Lord.” When the Lord’s words are placed in our mouths, they produce life and change circumstances.

So as we delight ourselves genuinely in the Lord, not just merely by calling Him our delight while continuing to live according to our own desires we then enter the place where He is which causes us to ride on the heights. From the vantage position being seated in the heavenly places far above all authority and power.

Our riding on the high places represents us entering a dimension in the Spirit where our lives begin to influence what happens around us, which even extends into us determining the affairs of nations. This is the place where the Holy Spirit’s government and authority become increasingly evident through us.

This revelation describes this process as us learning to ride where the Lord rides in His chariots of fire and under His divine control over situations and affairs. It is portrayed as a place of supreme glory where we the followers of Jesus walk in the reality of all the authority Christ possesses over everything in heaven and on earth.

This fact is not presented as self-exaltation or human influence platform for us, but as the result of us becoming so yielded to the Holy Spirit that the Lord’s purposes can be expressed through our surrendered vessels. The goal is that the anointing flowing through we the Lord’s people would produce results that demonstrate His glory, transform societies, and expand His Kingdom.

I declare that you are moving beyond the place of “just enough” into the overflowing bounty of the Lord’s oceans of glory. You will not remain at the lower level when the Holy Spirit is calling you higher and you are entering the Lord’s rest, by riding upon the high places of the earth, and experiencing life from His perspective. You are being overtaken by the Presence of the Holy Spirit, governed by His wisdom, directed by His counsel, and empowered by His anointing.

You are hidden in the secret place of His Presence and protected from the strife of tongues and the plots of men. You will not be driven by your own opinions, pleasures, fears, or ambitions, but you will walk in the divine order of the Holy Spirit and the glory of the Lord will radiate through you.

The anointing upon your life will produce fruit that remains, circumstances will be changed by the power of the Lord working through you, and your life will become a vessel through which the righteousness of the Lord is revealed and desired in Jesus name. Amen.
