Listen to Him -- Mark 9

Mark9:7 "This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!"
The presence of God is available to everyone of us now. We can all have that mountain top experience in places like conferences, praise and worship sessions in services, prayer times, or personal devotion times,etc. A lot of the times like in a conference, we feel so wonderful, and all we want to do is to build a tabernacle and stay there. We enjoy the feelings, the emotional highs, as they're wonderful experiences. But if all we have is good feelings, we'll leave the mountain top without any change. The Lord says, listen to Him. Mountain top is a place where we listen to Him, not only to feel good for ourselves. He has words to say to us in His presence, and if we miss His words, we miss the point. The words He has to say individually to us are the things that will change our lives, not only the good feelings. Too many times I find myself too busy enjoying the good feelings and too busy singing the songs, watching the singers that I forget about listening, which is the most important thing.
