 Let me share my thoughts on how we can put the pressure on the goal of becoming more like Christ. As I was driving up a hill in my car today, I had been meditating for a while and there were some very strong desires that came up. Now the external circumstances of ascension were part of my sensory perception of the longed for spiritual experience, but then it occurred to me that God was the cause of both, that is, when the Holy Spirit chose to enter into this meditation on a special path. Then He awakened, who floated over the waters in creation, the physical feeling in me of this ascent to the top of the hill. So there was a sense in which he rose spiritually in joy and at the same time rose to the top of a hill.  

Once at the top, I turned and continued on the hill that looked down into the valley, which gives me a sense of triumph so that all life for the believer goes from one position to another to reach the heights of joy. Since Christ ascended to heaven and is in the hand of the right of God, to become more like him is to identify with him in his death and resurrection.Since we cannot separate his work on the cross from his identity as our present mediator, our understanding of experience is to have a personal experience of his resurrection power.  

This was very important for the apostle to deepen our understanding; and if we want to have this understanding, then we will have fellowship with the Spirit that has given us its fruit, love, joy, peace, patience, goodness and forgiveness. And although these different attributes are listed, they are still one fruit that the Holy Spirit works in us so that they are all connected as one in us, for there is only one belief, but this fruit is what we want that nature planted in us when we were born again. So our minds enjoyed nature to have these desires. Now we not only have the yearnings of the new nature, we are happy about them. We even understand the kind of love we have by that nature.  

We shall experience worship and fellowship with this power when we come to know the Holy Spirit, for if it is His fruit then He is the cause of our desire to glorify and enjoy God. Means of working, in the experience of these means we will have a communication with the Holy Spirit.That is why we have these waves of experiences in which we climb the heights of spiritual enlightenment and eternal visions of joy.  

In our natural character we want everything to be in order and without surprises, but God surprised us with joy because joy comes in the morning or our hope as the fruit of the Spirit has this component. A present hope, not just the last hope. And so the mornings are a sequence until the end when our hope is fulfilled. That is what we ascend in our experience. It is the hope of the morning that we long for to reach the peak of power and love in our understanding.
