Today, I am sharing a part of my communion time with the Holy Spirit concerning riding with Him on the high places of the earth in complete rest. This revelation is a call from the Holy Spirit for us to move beyond merely receiving His guidance into a deeper dimension of being completely overtaken by His Presence. It is a place where His glory, anointing, and authority can flow through our lives in a greater and unprecedented measure.

The question the Holy Spirit presented is this: Will you ride further with Him in His vehicle of glory, or will you remain in the place of “just enough” instead of entering into 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 to go higher. He wants us to enter a dimension in which His Presence so fills, governs, and directs us that our lives become vessels through which His anointing can flow in a greater measure on a daily basis.

This fact is not merely about us experiencing more of the Holy Spirit for our personal benefit. It is about us allowing His Presence to work through us in order that nations can be affected by His anointing, people’s circumstances can be changed, and righteousness can become the desire of people’s hearts. This invitation is for us to move beyond a limited experience of His Presence and enter into the overflowing fullness of what He desires to accomplish in and through us.

However we must be willing to go further with Him, by surrendering our hearts more completely to His rule, and allowing Him to take us into the greater dimensions of His glory. This revelation of us riding with the Lord on the high places of the earth is drawn from Isaiah 58:13–14. In this passage, the Lord promises His people that those who honour His holy day, by turning away from pursuing 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 promise reveals a dimension of relationship with the Lord that goes beyond our ordinary Christian experience. It describes a positioning in the Spirit in which we are no longer governed primarily by our own desires, ways, and pursuits, but increasingly by the direction and rule of the Holy Spirit. As we honour the Lord and delight ourselves in Him, we position ourselves to be led into what He has made available to us.

The Holy Spirit desires to govern our lives so that we can partake of the fullness of what the Lord has promised us and experience His provision and presence daily. Riding on the high places is therefore more than just simply knowing that the Holy Spirit guides us, but it is about us allowing Him to take us further into His purposes, by bringing our lives under His influence and direction until we begin to experience the fullness He desires for us.

The question we must ask ourselves is whether we are satisfied with the measure of our present experience or whether we are willing to respond to the Holy Spirit’s invitation to go higher with Him. We must never settle for “just enough” when He is calling us into the overflowing bounty of His oceans of glory. We must be willing to surrender our hearts more deeply to His Presence and allow Him to lead us into a greater expression of His glory, anointing, and authority through our lives.

The Holy Spirit went on to highlight the importance of the Sabbath, or the day of rest/ Lord, as a significant part for us entering this dimension of riding with the Lord. In Genesis 2:1–3, we read that after the Lord had completed the heavens, the earth, and everything within them, He rested on the seventh day. He blessed the seventh day and sanctified it.

The striking revelation here is that, in this sense, man’s relationship with the Lord began from the place of the Lord’s rest, which He named the Sabbath. The Lord had completed His work and then rested. So the Sabbath was blessed and sanctified by Him, making the principle of rest an important part of our understanding of how we are to relate to Him and enter into what He has prepared.

This fact draws our attention to the significance of us learning to live from the place of the Lord’s rest rather than allowing our lives to be driven continually by our own efforts, pursuits, and ways. The Holy Spirit is calling us into this dimension of life where we can rest in His Presence and allow Him to direct our lives.

This rest is connected to the greater invitation for us to ride with Him on the high places. We must recognise that the Lord has more for us than a life in which we simply try to manage everything through our own strength. He wants us to be filled with His Presence, governed by His Spirit, and led into the fullness of His purposes. John.10:10 speaks of how Jesus came that weight have life and have it in its fullest measure.

So as we respond to His call to ride on the high places, we must be willing to honour Him, by delighting ourselves in Him, and allowing His direction to take precedence over our own desires. In doing so, we are positioning ourselves to experience more of the life He desires us to live in His Presence.

I declare that I will no longer remain in the place of “just enough” when the Holy Spirit is calling me into the overflowing bounty of His oceans of glory. I respond to His invitation to go higher with Him and to ride with Him on the high places of the earth. I declare that my life is being increasingly filled, governed, and directed by the Presence of the Holy Spirit. I will honour the Lord, delight myself in Him, and allow His ways to take precedence over my own.

I will not depend solely on my own strength, wisdom, or efforts, any longer, but I will yield to the Holy Spirit’s leading and direction. As I embrace the place of the Lord’s rest, I declare that I am being led into a greater experience of His fullness, and His glory, anointing, and authority will flow through my life in greater measure, because I will be available for Him to accomplish His purposes through me.

I declare that the Holy Spirit will work through my life to affect nations, change circumstances, and cause righteousness to become the desire of people’s hearts. I will no longer settle for a limited experience of His Presence, but I will continue to respond to His call to go deeper, by surrendering more completely, and walking in the fullness He desires for me. By the grace of God, I will ride with the Holy Spirit on the high places in complete rest, delighting myself in the Lord and partaking of the heritage He has made available to His people.

My life will become a vessel of His Presence, His glory, and His purposes, for the honour of Jesus Christ. I am going higher with the Holy Spirit, and I am entering more deeply into His rest, by yielding my heart to His rule, and making room for the overflowing manifestation of His glory through my life.

I will never again settle for “just enough,” because I am responding to His call to experience the fullness of His Presence and fulfilling His purposes on the earth in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
