Going up to the “High Places”!!!
Psalm 91:1
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Most High
” A high place” is an artificially created place of worship for sacrificing and making offerings to God in the old Testament.
The first altar or high place was built by Noah after the flood. In the time of the new testament “high places” were no longer needed because Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice. God requires no other sacrifice, it is sufficient to save us all.
High places as described in the old testament no longer exists for Christian worship. It however exists for idol worship or worship of principalities and powers of the world.
When a Christian says ” I am going up to the high places to tear the devil’s kingdom down” It means he or she is out to destroy the works of the evil through the power of God. How can this be done?
The verse above says we can do this by learning to dwell in the secret place of the Most High or adopting the habit of dwelling continually in the presence of God through praise, worship and study of the word.
When you do this you abide under the shadow of the Almighty God and you are fully protected
Ephesians 6:18
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
This verse from the new testament adds another requirement to keep us continually in the presence of God, prayer.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 says
Pray without ceasing.
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Trust in God and do what is right
Song for meditation
