Once You Have Had Your Mountain Top Experience, Don't Stay Just Stay On The Mountain (Feb 24, 2009)

Prayer Request:
I begin the message with this Scripture, and I want all of you to take heed to it.  This is going to be important.

Matthew 17:1-6a. (NKJV) Now after six days, Jesus took Peter, James and John, led them  up on a high mountain by themselves, and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun and His clothes became white as light. And behold Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Lord it is good for us to be here, if You wish, let us make three tabernacles; one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
  While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the clould, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!"
 
 There are a lot of Christians that once they have had their wonderful mountain top experience, even it it is their church or church community, when they see Jesus Christ doing a miracle in their midst, upon hearing it done through a ministry they have in the church, that just want to stay were they are, and not leave to face the challenge in the" valley" yet to come when it is time for them to come down.
   We can't just stay on the mountain, content with basking in the light of the transfiguring experience that Jesus presented to us.  This experience, is meant to be shared with other, especially to benefit others who need it.  
  
  We can't just be like Peter, and keep that experience to ourselves, and contain it so noone can benefit from what you have witnessed. God wants you to come down off the mountain, and be prepared to face the reality of what needs to be done in the valley.  If you don't, you will be caught off guard by the spiritual enemy, because you may become to comfortable to remain there, and miss the victory you could acheive in the valley.
