Ever pondered on the question, who may ascend onto the mountain of the Lord, and who may stand in His holy place? Well, it's a profound thought indeed. You see, every one of us is destined to rise, to ascend high into heavenly places. Yes, you heard right, we are called to stand with God in His holy place, but there's a catch to ascend, we need clean hands and a pure heart. So how do we ensure that? The answer lies in the redeeming power of Jesus' blood.
It's this blood that washes us clean and renews us. As we accept Him as our Lord and Savior, we're empowered to resist the forces of the enemy that would try to pull us down. Remember, to ascend, we must stand firm every day against these contaminating forces. This is just the beginning of our journey. Let's explore more in the next scene.
Every day, we must choose to stand against the contaminating forces of the enemy that would try to hold us down. Our journey to ascend starts in our thought life. We must understand that every journey, every adventure and every ascension begins with a single thought. Our minds, our thoughts are the compasses of our lives, guiding us towards our destinies. But just like a compass, our thoughts must be carefully calibrated and guarded. Consider this.
Our thoughts are influenced by what we allow into our consciousness. The things we watch, the conversations we engage in, the music we listen to, the books we read, all these elements have the power to shape our thought patterns. As such, we must be vigilant, guarding what we allow to influence our thoughts. It's not about shielding ourselves from the world, but rather about making conscious choices that align with our higher purpose. It's like a gardener carefully selecting which seeds to plant in his garden. We must ensure that what we are planting in our minds is of good quality, for those seeds will eventually sprout and bear fruit. We must ensure that what we allow into our minds is pleasing to the Lord, for our thoughts are the seeds that will bloom into actions and ultimately our reality. Our thoughts are powerful.
They have the potential to elevate us, to propel us forward or to pull us down. And here's the thing about thoughts. They don't stay confined to our minds. They filter down, seeping into our hearts, shaping our attitudes, our emotions and our actions. In the quest to ascend to rise higher, we must cultivate higher thoughts. We must adopt a higher way of living, one that is aligned with our divine purpose. Our thoughts must be like birds, soaring high, unbounded by the limitations of the earthly realm.
But remember, this journey of ascension is not a one-off event. It's a continuous process, a daily choice. We must choose to guard our thoughts, to live higher every single day. If we are to ascend, we must have higher thoughts and a higher way of living. Every thought matters, every choice counts. Let us choose wisely, let us think highly, and let us ascend to our rightful place. Choosing to ascend is a daily commitment to a higher way of living. It's not just a one-time decision, but rather a continual conscious choice. It's choosing to guard your thoughts.
