"CONCERNING SPIRITUAL ELEVATION"
Copyright 2011 Theresa Harvard Johnson
Father has taught me that spiritual elevation isn’t a “thing,” it is a process. It is a STATE of going from one level of maturity in the things of God into the next. Unfortunately, in our westernized, Christian culture the phrase “spiritual elevation” generally walks hand-in-hand with ordinations and licensing in ministry. It walks hand-in-hand with the lust for titles and power when in truth, this type of thinking -- outside of wisdom -- can cause and has caused many of God's people to become “targets for the enemy” when they are placed upon the shoulders of people ill-equipped to walk fitly in them.
