SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

August 23

And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

Revelation 5:1-5

Sometimes what you cannot open is not a dead end; it is an invitation to trust the One who can. In Revelation 5:1–5 (KJV), John weeps over the sealed book until he hears, “Weep not,” because Christ has prevailed, reminding us that Engaging The Holy means refusing to let what we cannot yet understand cancel what God has allowed us to envision. What is High And Lifted Up is a life that sits with the vision through unanswered questions, trusting that what looks sealed today may still contain possibilities God will reveal tomorrow. Our communities know what it means to face closed doors, yet generations before us kept believing, building, organizing, creating, and preparing until possibilities once denied became realities others could inherit. Dream Big, because a sealed door does not mean there is nothing on the other side. Decide To Become someone whose faith can mature through uncertainty without surrendering the vision. Demonstrate Your Power by preparing while you wait, building what you can, and helping your family and community believe that what seems closed does not have the final word.
