Mountain top -Matt17

Matt17:1-8
Often when we're at a conference or a worship session we can have experiences like the mountain top experience: we have climbed up the mountain and feel an emotional high. We feel wonderful and we don't want to leave.
Then we see three people. Jesus looks glorious and adorable. And also Moses and Elijah. Moses suggests to me the leaders, and Elijah speaks of signs and wonders, miracles, manifestations. We tend to look at worship leaders or other wonderful things people do. We can get so busy looking and admiring and feeling good that we're missing the point: "listen to Him!"
Often mountain top is a place where God will speak to us. If we listen, when we leave the mountains we'll get something solid and empowering, but if we're focusing looking at Moses and Elijahs and enjoying the wonderful feelings, when we leave the mountains we're left with nothing. That's why often after a big event like Hillsong conference a lot of people are actually feeling down as they experienced a lot of emotional high but didn't listen while they're still at mountain top.
