When we arrived at the gazebo, I had a long conversation with the Lord about counsel. I believe this was prompted by a couple of hours that we spent ministering to that wounded pastor from South Carolina. I did not write down word for word our conversation. However, I did jot down the gist of the first part of the conversation:

I had asked for the Spirit of Counsel. The Lord said that He had already been released into my life. Then I asked if this aspect of the Holy Spirit’s ministry could be released on this ridge.

To my surprise, the Lord said that this was too dangerous. He said: “with such a gift freely given, the people who lack Godly wisdom would be anointed to counsel any manner of fleshly guidance.”

“For what may I ask, my Lord?” I inquired.

For ask for a spirit of MERCY and a spirit of COMPASSION.

Immediately, I asked for these. “I ask that these be released to add to Your presence and glory. In Your Word, mercy and compassion were proclaimed by You to be the outworking of Your goodness. Let all your goodness, not only pass before those who come here; but allow Your goodness to settle down and reside in this chosen place.”

“MERCY and COMPASSION will dwell within My glory here. My goodness will be experienced by all who come (to this mount). ‘Taste and see that the Lord is good; how blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!’”

The Lord quoted this from Psalm 34. “’Taste and see that the Lord is good…’ will be the answer given to the questions about this place – for all will taste and see.”
