The Lord says, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCome up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That phrase, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">come up here<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is not just for John in his vision. It is for us today. God is always inviting us to rise above the noise, the chaos, and the striving of this world so that we can see from His perspective.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><iframe title=\"God Says: Come Up Higher\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GmeOSvDWol4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\u00a0<\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the latest episode of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Alita Reynolds Show<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Come Up Here<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, I shared a visual that has stuck with me. Imagine a cartoon man, clinging with all his might to the top of the Eiffel Tower. His arms are short, his legs are short, and he\u2019s holding on for dear life. Isn\u2019t that a metaphor for the way so many of us live? Striving, anxious, exhausted, trying to hold everything together by our own strength?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Then there\u2019s another picture: a vast mountain plateau, wide and open, where you can move about freely. That\u2019s the contrasting visual metaphor for\u00a0 living in God\u2019s will. You\u2019re still high up, but instead of clinging desperately, you\u2019re walking, or even dancing, confidently and freely, because you\u2019re secure in Him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Friends, this is the difference between elevation by the world and elevation by God. Satan\u2019s way leads to anxiety and fear. God\u2019s way leads to peace, freedom, and clarity. Jesus didn\u2019t come to burden you, He came to give you abundant life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">So let me ask you: are you gripping tightly to the steeple, or are you moving freely on the mountain with Him?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I encourage you to take time to listen to the full episode, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Come Up Here<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. My prayer is that it will challenge you to release your grip, trust the Lord\u2019s leading, and step into the higher places He has for you. The door is open. Will you walk through it?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m wildly cheering you! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alita Reynolds<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.agent=\"plkajabi\";n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\n                                                                      document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '1615217018782581');\nfbq('track', \"PageView\");<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenoffaith.com\/blog\/from-holding-on-to-moving-freely\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most powerful invitations in Scripture is found in Revelation 4:1.
