Don’t Move. | Every Moment, Arms Raised, Until Good Change Comes: Pathways Up the Mountain of Joy

by Nikki Walton of CurlyNikki.com

When Moses kept his arms raised, the people prevailed. When they dropped, the enemy advanced. This is an advanced teaching. For a student that’s tired… of feeling blocked, stuck, sick of failing… tired of being tired. You know there must be another way. And there is. There’s The Way. The Life and the Truth. Jesus is the mountain top. And Jesus is Joy. His Presence, God’s Presence, the Holy Spirit’s Presence, feels like Joy. When your arms are raised, you prevail. When they drop, when you drop the Joy, the enemy advances… and that includes everything from doubt and fear to spiritual attacks, sickness, and lack. But how does one KEEP their arms raised?

I’m using my arms right now lol, I’m typing, and yet my inner arms are raised, my spiritual arms are lifted to the sky… I’m offering my heart, my mind, all of it to Him. And He’s pouring down words for me to share with you, to make this point- you don’t have to do it, hold the Joy, for long periods of time, because there is no such thing as a long period of time. There is no such thing as time. All we have is this moment.

Arms raised, this moment.

Arms raised, this moment.

Arms raised, this moment.

Every moment, energy elevated.

Every moment, charged.

That’s it.

And if you can just keep that chain of Elevation-

Elevation,

Joy,

Energy,

everything will change.

A chain reaction.

That’s how you stay lifted. That’s how you bring about Breakthrough.

You don’t wait for it. You RAISE INTO IT.

Now.

And NOW.

AND NOW.

AND NOW.

STAY WITH IT AS YOU STAY WITH ME. GO BACK AND READ THAT WHOLE SECTION AGAIN. STACATTO LIKE.

Doorways to Joy

Lately, the Joy has been so full, so BIG, it becomes tongues… I find my lil Catholic self sometimes breaking out into tongues (spirit to Spirit… “For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries by the Spirit.”- 1 Corinthians 14:2). I have no idea what is being said lol, but sometimes it feels warrior-like and fierce, other times it feels gentler, like deep gratitude, and sometimes it feels like the heights of Joy. Like a soda that got shook up and immediately opened. That’s the most common one here. Different moods, or colors, of that one Light.

I also notice if I’m feeling a little sleepy mid-day, tongues stir the Joy… almost like turning to that, almost like using speaking in tongues to sync with God again, to get back into Joy. You can use chanting to get to Joy. You can use arrow prayers (Jesus, Blood, Only Love is Here) to get to Joy. You can sing to get to Joy… dance like David. Joy is the top of the mountain. It’s the summit… there’s all these different paths up, but they lead to the same place.

My last 12 years of life, I’ve gone from one path to the next… laterally lol…literally lol… I knew on a deep level that JOY was the answer, but I was like, ‘maybe the Rosary will get me there quicker…’ or ‘maybe singing, or maybe standing and rocking etc…‘ but when I’d be in the midst of the practice or posture, even when I wake up in the midst of a long prayer, or in the midst of speaking in tongues, it’s the Joy.

The Joy is always there. And He’s there before, during, and after whatever practice you’re engaged in. He’s just (t)here like… ‘you finished yet?’ lol

The Joy has been here all along, waiting on us. Waiting for us to stop lol so He can start. We think it’s too easy. And now that we know He’s the path and the destination, we think of it as too hard. It feels like an effort to keep our arms up. And it is… at first.

But the more you keep them up, the more things change, and the more you want to keep them up. I likened it to changing bad posture. It hurts at first… but it gets easier and then you start feeling and looking better and then what was hard is natural. The new normal.

Practical Ways to Stay Lifted

My new book, Wake Up to Love has many practical ways outlined in detail! But most recently, the power walks I take… every step, Jesus Blood, Jesus Blood, Jesus Blood. That’s one, detailed HERE. Super powerful.

Clapping is another.

Smiling is another. A constant smile. A gentle, inner smile that reminds your body who’s in charge.

Constant correct posture, because when you’re sitting up, it’s like you’re connected to Heaven. It’s like you sit up into Him. Into Silence. Into Love. Into Joy.

YOU SIT UP AS THE MOUNTAIN YOU WERE TRYING TO CLIMB.

FEEL THAT SHIFT.

I can’t write when I’m slouched. Ideas stop, His message stops, like there’s a crook in the pipe. Is crook even a word? lol

My whole day is a natural flow of constantly, gently, correcting posture, constantly smiling, repeatedly relaxing my shoulders back down (I did just now!), letting my stomach pooch out (not holding my breath- another anxiety tendency here)… just breaking the habit of being Nikki. Breaking the habit of wearing the mask, the armor. When I’m out on my power walks (my prayer walks), not feeling ashamed or goofy to be walking down the street grinning ear to ear. Why not?! Let’s set the world on fire with this Joy!

These are different ways to stir the oil, here. Different ways to keep the Fire moving. Different ways to stay raised. You can imagine your entire Blood supply has been replaced with His Blood. Now the Fire of His Blood is flowing through your veins. Feel that elevation? That constant Fire?

It’s basically just stirring the pot, anything you can do to keep it from settling.

Every simple act becomes a doorway up the mountain of Joy. Every movement becomes prayer. Every physical cue becomes a reminder that Heaven is here, that you are already lifted, already seated, already raised. Already His, and at the height, already Him. He puts flesh on bones. He raises the dead. He multiplies the loaves and fish. But you have to show up. And not be scared. And let Him work through you. You have to lay hands knowing whose hands they are… no longer yours.

The Secret of the Mountain

You don’t have to stay in Joy for hours. You only have to find it NOW. There’s no distance to climb, no time to count, no future moment where it finally “works.” There’s only this moment. THIS JOY.

Every breath that says “Jesus Blood”.
Every step that remembers Love.
Every smile that breaks the armor.
Every pause that stirs the oil.

It’s all the same movement. The same instant, felt-ascent.

You don’t have to do anything more. You only have to stay aware. You only have to stay lifted.

Arms raised, this moment.
Heart raised, this instant.
Joy alive, only now.

There’s only NOW.

That’s how the mountain moves.
That’s how breakthrough becomes the air you breathe.
That’s how you live in victory.

Not by repeating VICTORY or even JESUS… entering Him.
