COME TO THE MOUNTAIN AND DRINK

 

Sandra Bontemps

 

A few weeks ago, God awakened me, as He often does, and I heard Him say, “Come to the mountain and drink. Draw deeply from the wells of salvation.”

As I prayed into this today, to write a message, this is what He spoke deeply within me.   God is calling you also  precious women, “Come! Come! Come to the mountain and drink..Draw deeply from the wells of salvation.....” Listen closely.....Can you hear Him? He is speaking so lovingly to you. Softly and tenderly He is calling you.   Will you answer His call?

First of all begin to sing, worship, thank and praise Him.......speak His Word aloud.Then come humbly into His Holy Presence.......and you will then feel His mighty Presence fall upon you.....His Holy Spirit will fill you to overflowing......Abide in HIS PRESENCE.....Be still and KNOW THAT HE IS GOD.  Learn to come into His Holy Presence and have deep spiritual fellowship of His Holy Spirit..... Listen...... Be still and know His Voice. He longs to speak to you. Jesus longs for an intimate relationship with you.

God is calling you to develop a strong godly character. He wants you to develop the Holy Spirit’s fruit more than the Holy Spirit’s gifts. Being filled with the Spirit calls us as much to exemplify godly character as it does to charismatic activity.  The Holy Spirit’s fruit is to be cultivated and grown in our lives every bit as much as His gifts may be shown through us.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Against such there is no law.”
Galatians 5:22-23

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,
but have not love,
I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
 And though I have the gift of prophecy,
and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
and though I have all faith,
so that I could remove mountains,
 but have not love, I am nothing. 
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor,
and though I give my body to be burned,
but have not love, it profits me nothing.
Love suffers long and is kind;
love does not envy;
love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
does not behave rudely,
does not seek its own,
 is not provoked,
thinks no evil;
does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
bears all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.
But whether there are prophecies, they will fail;
whether there are tongues, they will cease;
whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 
For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
But when that which is perfect has come,
then that which is in part will be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child,
I understood as a child, I thought as a child;
but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see in a mirror, dimly,
but then face to face.
Now I know in part,
but then I shall know just as I also am known.
And now abide faith, hope, love,
these three,
but the greatest of these is love.”
I Corinthians 13:1-13

God is calling you precious one, to hear His voice, to  know His love, His passion, His heart. He loves your heart, your passion and your love for Him and others.....as you spend intimate time with Him, meditate on His Word....the Holy Bible....worship, pray and praise Him. But listen..... He is calling you deeper still, to serve Him.... He is calling you as deep calls to deep to follow His Holy Spirit and learn to operate more effectively and lovingly with the spiritual gifts He has given to you, IN HIS HEART. HIS PASSION. HIS LOVE.

“Come to the mountain and drink.
Draw deeply from the wells of salvation.”

When God spoke this to me, it was a loving reminder of my life scripture.

“ ‘Behold God is my salvation. I will trust and not be afraid;
For YAH, the LORD is my strength and my song;
He also has become my salvation.’ 
Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
And in that day you will say;
‘Praise the LORD, call upon His name;
Declare His deeds among the peoples,
make mention that His name is exalted.
Sing to the LORD, for He has done excellent things;
Let this be known through all the earth.
Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion,
for great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst!’”
Isaiah 12:2-6

 

Then the LORD gave me Isaiah 61 for ASPIRE MINISTRIES’ commission and calling several years ago.

“The Spirit of the LORD GOD is upon Me,
Because the LORD has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,
And the day of vengeance of our GOD;
To comfort all who mourn,
To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the LORD,
That He may be glorified.”
Isaiah 61:1-3

 

ASPIRE MINISTRIES SECOND ANNIVERSARY

ASPIRE MINISTRIES JUST CELEBRATED OUR SECOND ANNIVERSARY ON FEBRUARY 7.  God has so richly blessed in this time and we have gone into all the States in America, and into all continents around the world teaching and preaching the Good News Gospel of Jesus Christ

 We  praise God, and  give Him all glory, all honor, all power and blessings! We also praise and thank God for all of you who have traveled this journey with us.

As I prayed this morning for the LORD to give me more on His invitation ~ “Come to the mountain and drink. Draw deeply from the wells of salvation.” This is what I heard deep in my spirit as Holy Spirit flowed...

AN INVITATION TO ALL OF YOU PRECIOUS ONES

“Come Into the Rest of MY PRESENCE and in the assurance that the flow of My Spirit will carry you.  Rest in me so I may rest upon you.  Rest in Me, so My glorious Presence will  rest upon you, leading, guiding and directing you in all My  ways.  My ways are not your ways.

THIS IS A  NEW YEAR. A NEW SEASON.  A NEW BEGINNING, as deep calls to deep, I AM calling you. Hear My call.  Answer and follow Me and I will take you to NEW PLACES. NEW SPIRITUAL HEIGHTS. NEW DEPTHS. NEW PLACES OF FAITH, MORE THAN YOU HAVE EVER KNOWN.

I AM MULTIPLYING grace and peace as My divine power gives to you all things that pertain to life. I AM calling you to more holiness and purity, through the knowledge of JESUS who called us by glory and virtue.  I have given you exceedingly and abundantly great and precious covenant promises, so you may be partakers of My Divine Nature.    (2 Peter 1:2-11)

Surrender and yield completely to My Holy Spirit. I will bring forth My Divine Order and allow you to ‘live and move and have your being in me.” (Acts 17:28) You are in My Womb. I will carry you.   I AM the source of all creation,  energy, life, light and love, flowing from you to carry you into the fullness of My purposes and divine plan for your life. (Jeremiah 29:11-13) I AM moving you into your Divine Destiny in Me.

 I AM renewing your faith and trust.  I AM touching your heart in new ways, to encourage and strengthen you.  I AM healing you.  Abide in Me and dwell in My Holy Presence.  Mount Zion moved at My Presence. (Psalm 68) Speak grace, grace, grace  to your mountains, have faith with no doubts, and they will be moved.”

“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our LORD, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue., by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 

But also for this reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge, self-control, to self-control, perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness and to brotherly kindness love.

For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 

Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.” I Peter 1:2-11

May the name of the God Jacob defend you;
May He send you help from the sanctuary,
And strengthen you out of Zion;
May He remember all your offerings,
And accept your burnt sacrifice.

And fulfill all your purpose.  Selah.”
Psalm 20:1-4
