Transfiguration on the Mountain Brow
A couple weeks ago now I met a couple people. First I met this super cool guy at a Home church and we teased each other horribly. We started hanging out and I found he was a super passionate Christian with similar beliefs and an awesome sense of humor. Then I met this other person. It was a girl, a Jewish Christian who loves the Lord, but has a lot of questions. Finally, I met the last of our group, an incredibly passionate girl , loving, caring and very devoted Christian.
The night we all met we decided to make a late night trip to the Mountain Brow. It's this beautiful spot that overlooks the entire city. It's quiet, away of the busyness and a great place just to chat. It was around 2am by the time we arrived there. The four of us started sharing testimonies, talking about God in our lives and challenging each other in different areas.
Before leaving we decided to take a moment to pray. The prayer time was not just a simple normal prayer time, but instead filled with prophetic utterances, visions and exhortations. Each of us walked away that night forever changed by the time together.
Last night the four of us found ourselves together again, sitting at a Dairy Queen. I laughed to myself slightly as I sat back and realized the depth of our conversations. Again we were in deep discussion of true Christian living, what it looks like and how do we do it. We were challenging one another and making the scriptures real. There were tears and laughter. There was joy and pain. There was a TRUE authenticity that you don't find everyday.
The four of us have been sharing a type of true fellowship which challenges us and forces us to really examine our lives. It offers us support, guidance and love in a world that often seems absent of it all.
I want to encourage all of you to seek out the same sort of fellowship, if it is standing on the mountain brow or if it is in a church, a school or wherever you find yourself. Meet with God and invite others to do the same. God loves community. Let Him use those around you to bring a transformation and transfiguration in your own life.
