What was the last thing the Lord asked you to do? This is a significant question that must be revisited often. It keeps you focused and allows you to adjust your compass as you go. It is an important question as you exercise your faithfulness by recalling and revisiting the last thing God asked you to do. What a tremendous mechanism for homing in and maintaining your faithfulness—recalling the last thing God asked you to do.

Most men will proclaim each his own goodness, but who can find a faithful man? 

—Proverbs 20:6 NKJV 

Many a man proclaims his own loyalty, but who can find a trustworthy man?

—Proverbs 20:6 NASB77

There is a power that carries massive results, and it is the power of faithfulness. Faithfulness is the necessary foundation to accomplish what God tells you to do. The Spirit speaks to me from time to time with clear instructions for a coming season or directions, and for the current time, I am walking in. However, these instructions do not come often—they come after accomplishing the last thing God asked me to do. Our journey has been this way since the beginning and continues this pattern today. One very clear thing the Spirit spoke to me was that supernatural beckoning to “Come up Higher!” That is exactly what I heard directly from the Voice of the Spirit.

Recently, a prophet contacted me. He began sharing the word of the Lord with me and said, “The Lord says to you, Joseph, ‘Come up higher!’” This is a scripture from Revelation 4, where the Voice of God says, “Come up here!”

 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”

—Revelation 4:1 NIV
