Ramping up!

Most walls are higher than we can jump, unless of course they are the walls we place in the way of little children to keep them in a certain room.  And walls are almost always impossible to climb, with the exception of climbing walls, and even they are no walk in the park.  And walls are not easily broken through, without a great deal of effort and mayhem.  Finally most walls are not something we would want to break through.   But what if there is a wall in front of us that is designed to keep us in a small room, or back from a wide open and expansive future?

These walls must fall;  these walls must be broken through; these walls must be climbed over: in some way we must get past them if we are to move on.  The last thing we need to do is let these kinds of walls define what we can do, who we can be and where we can go with our lives.  But if they are not dealt with, that is exactly what will happen.  

Enter the ramp!   Not all walls are going to fall, though some will, through the mighty working power of our God.  Not all walls are going to be broken through, though some walls will break down by the authority of our God.  And not all walls can be climbed over, but they can be overcome through ramping up and crossing over them.  It is good for us to know which way we are to deal with the walls. If nothing else is working, don't give up, ramp up!

Ramps allow us to go over things that normally we would just run into.  I know it would be nice if all our walls just went away, but that will not be happening anytime soon.  So learning how to ramp up is a real key to overcoming what seems to be impossible.  

We do this by laying the ground work of prayer, the preparation of responding to the wisdom of the Lord,  and the release of our faith, which says, 'we are going over and will not be denied.'  Then when we accelerate our momentum of expectation, we rise up over the wall and put it well behind us.  Catch the picture of a person who is on a bike, accelerates, goes up the ramp and literally flies over the obstacles in front to him.  Done right he can catch some serious air.  So can we!  And what about the landing?  If we do our part, God will do His, and He will have prepared for our landing before we get there.  All will be safe,  and we will be on the other side of the walls that have kept us back.  

2 Samuel 22:30b   By my God I can leap over a wall.
