I read a short meditation called "The Ultimate Note" by John G. Lake and was inspired to pray into it. John G. Lake was a man born in 1870 who was blessed with the gift of healing and served as an apostle to Africa. He planted over 100 churches in South Africa and was able to pray for over 100,000 documented miracles and healings while he was there. After his time in Africa, he returned to Spokane, Washington and continued growing in the ministry of healing and deliverance.
Here are his thoughts on "The Ultimate Note" from The Original John G. Lake Devotional. Charisma House. 1997.
Praise ye the Lord, Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. Psalm 149:1
Musicians talk of an ultimate note. That is a note you will not find on any keyboards. It is a peculiar note. A man sits down to tune a piano or any fine instrument. He has no guide to the proper key, and yet he has a guide. That guide is the note that he has in his soul. And the nearer he can bring his instrument into harmony with that note in his soul, the nearer perfection he has attained.
There is an ultimate note in the heart of the Christian. It is the note of conscious victory through Jesus Christ. The nearer our life is tuned to that note of conscious victory, the greater the victory that will be evidenced in our life.
Beloved, in the Christian life, in the heart of God, there is an ultimate note. It is that note which is so fine and sweet and true and pure and good that it causes all our nature to respond to it, and rejoices the soul with a joy unspeakable.
All down through the ages some have touched God and heard that ultimate note. I believe that as David sat on the mountainside as a boy, caring for his father's sheep, God by the Spirit taught him the powerand blessing of that ultimate note. I believe that at times that his soul ascended unto God so that many of the Psalms of David are the real soul note of that blessed expression of heavenly music and heaven consciousness which came into the soul of the shepherd boy.
Lord, make of my life a high note, a new song of praise and rejoicing in You. Amen.
