Climb the Stairs! by Debra Westbrook

Vision
I began to see a stairway unfold before me in the middle of the sanctuary at the church we were worshipping at this morning. I then heard the Lord issue this invitation: "Climb the Stairs!" The stairs were an entrance into a greater realm of glory that had to be accessed by FAITH. Faith allows one's eyes to be opened to see a supernatural reality that may be right before you. By faith, one steps onto a platform that is not supported by our natural senses but by allowing one's eyes to be opened by faith to SEE, then to BELIEVE and then to RECEIVE.

2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. NKJV

When one encounters greater realms of God's glory, there will manifest an invitation to 'come higher'. In that invitation, one is expected to obey, to walk it out and to walk forth in the reality of the revelation. We are called to live and move and have our being in Christ and that requires action when His presence is so strong in our midst. His presence calls to us to move in Him and to discern where He longs to take us and what He longs to reveal to us so that the atmosphere may be charged with prophetic momentum issuing forth a deeper revelation of Christ Jesus.

"I long for My people to move up and out IN ME!"

2 Corinthians 3:17-18
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
NKJV

Glory to glory to glory to glory - moving up and out in Him. This realm of encounter is not a passive time but a time of interfacing with the Lord in the atmosphere that He creates by His manifest presence. Climbing the stairs brings forth an interactive environment so that the very essence of the service is prophetic. We steward the glory that He reveals to us so that we move in Him, live in Him and have our being in Him. We interact through the manifest presence of Christ within us that is rising up and out. Therefore the service is charged with life and that life is in Christ.

What am I saying? I will write more on this. I am hearing God strongly impress upon my heart that we are called to steward the atmosphere of His presence. How is that? By watching where the Spirit of God is moving and in holy reverence and obedience following the Spirit so that the Lord Jesus can truly manifest in our corporate lives as we worship Him together.

What is required to do this? Leaders who will move up and move out and climb the stairs to a greater realm of glory and through this obedience allow the freedom of the Holy Spirit to move. Leaders who will discern and allow the creative hand of God to move in churches, meetings, and gatherings. This is so strong on my heart and the call of Rivers of Eden. I will expound more on this in the coming days.
