Adventurous
Some maintain that today's church is disjointed, with a conflict between spiritual leaders and the believer. Christian mystics, sensing a need for something new, are developing fresh models of ministry and outreach that resonate with the modern world.
The Christian mystic's process releases the heart, making it receptive to wisdom and knowledge, which it can then convey. For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you, says the LORD, plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11 AMP).

Contemplative
Christian mystics have a unique way of thinking and interacting with an inner world that is beyond the bounds of understanding of most people. They are deeply introspective, self-reflective, and acknowledge their reliance on something greater than themselves. Their actions are driven by purpose and a steadfast faith in a Divine plan.

Pioneering
Christian mystics are known for their courage and sense of adventure. They are called to journey, regardless of the duration or distance, relying on God's guidance and protection to fulfill His will.
Christian Mystics are Pioneers
They prioritize serving others over personal gain and ambition, selflessly making sacrifices to ensure blessings for others. They feel a deep connection to following their spiritual path.
The results of pioneering:
* Curious about new frontiers and new ways of thinking.
* Sacrificed all to assure blessings will come to others.
* The journey lays bare their worst fears and insecurities.
Christian Mystics are Disciples
Instead of seeking fame, Christian mystics are transformed by God into devoted followers. Their journey requires them to press into learning and stay strong.
Christian Mystics are Reformers
Christian mystics enter a healing process that prepares them to be vessels of hope and change. Their spiritual attunement gives them access to otherworldly experiences, allowing their thoughts and reactions to reach beyond mortal understanding.
God isn't interested in a Christian mystic's reputation, but in shaping them into supernatural representatives.
Encouragement and Wisdom
Historically, the term mystic is drawn from the Greek word mystos – someone spiritually advanced and has special knowledge. Like a butterfly, the Christian mystic remains in a state of quiet preparation, unable to be rushed. They are released by The Lord at just the right moment to fulfill their destiny and share Divine wisdom at just the right moment.
When the Christian mystic accepts the calling, the door closes to a familiar life. The road ahead is steep and unpredictable – filled with uncertainty, adversity, and hardship.
​
The Lord wants Christian mystics to live close to His heart. Because they don't seek attention, they are able to cultivate the character needed to receive and share wisdom. This wisdom isn't meant to simply fix problems, but to guide people in the right direction through blessings, encouragement, and healing. They understand that they are created to be agents of change and that encouragement is born from their prayers.

God Builds a Bridge to the Unknown
Christian mystics thoughtfully walk with God, moving with joy and confidence. They receive special wisdom, understanding, and insight at the perfect time, which is meant to be shared with people they haven't found yet.
On a symbolic bridge, God empties Christian mystics and then fills them with something superior to their previous state. This unalterable journey into the unknown is where they receive impartation, empowerment, and greater clarity.
The Lord issues specific unique assignments to carry encouragement and healing. There are many people that need a touch and blessing.
Each day, Christian mystics have a deep encounter with The Lord. As they cross a symbolic bridge, they are guided by His signs and symbols into the unknown, where they find a new world that is vibrantly alive with His presence.
By choosing obedience over demanding to know what lies ahead, Christian mystics gain a deeper understanding of their path. They find peace in following the guidance they've been given, as The Lord illuminates their way with wisdom for each day. As a result, their lives are centered entirely on God.
Mountains and The Bible
Mountains were profoundly important to men of the Bible.
​
1. To them, the journey up the mountain was a central aspect of their faith, that demanded obedience.
2. The mountain was the most pivotal experience in their life.
3. The mountain was seen as a symbol of importance.
4. It was on the mountain that God would speak to them,
5. God chooses when to climb the mountain.
What is The Lord preparing you to take on?
Afterwards Jesus went up the MOUNTAIN and called out the ones he wanted to go with him. And they came to him (Mark 3:13 NLT).
The disciples followed Jesus up a mountain to receive the call.
Then Moses climbed the MOUNTAIN to appear before God... (Exodus 19:3a NLT).
On eight occasions, Moses ascended Mount Sinai to be given instructions.
So he got up and drank, and the food gave him enough strength to travel forty days and forty nights to Mount Sinai, the MOUNTAIN of God (I Kings 19:8 NLT).
The Lord met Elijah at Mount Sinai where He presented Elijah with his next mission.
​
Christian mystics live on mountains, and they frequently move to different vantage points to deepen their connection with and understanding of The Lord. By seeking new revelations and clear insights, they are better able to perceive God's Divine plan through small signs and promptings pointing the way.
