What Heaven is Saying Today
During our worship time this morning, I was caught up in a vision. I seemed to be standing on the stage in what looked like a church with the communion table on my right. In front of me were two steps down. I saw a commercial quality mop bucket on the floor in front of me and watched as a man mopped the floor. When he put the mop back in the bucket, the Lord said, “Do it again.” The man mopped the floor again. It looked clean, but the Lord said, “Do it again.” The man standing next to this man took a turn and mopped the floor. No matter how many times this was done it wasn’t clean enough.
As I looked around I realized that we were not in a church. Everything was made of gold. Even the mop and mop bucket were made of gold. I was suddenly in awe because I realized that we were in the Holy Place with the Lord. The Holy Spirit began to reveal to me why the floor wasn’t clean. People have been disrespecting the Lord and have become overly casual in His presence. People were wearing dirty shoes into the Holy Place. Once you have made in unclean it is impossible to cleanse it with your best efforts. It can only be cleaned by the blood of the Lamb. I remembered again the instructions in Psalm 24:3-6, “Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face.” If we are this generation of Jacob, it is important for us to have a proper respect for all the holy things of the Lord. Most of all we need to have respect for His holiness.
Then I saw a man standing in front of the communion table. He spoke a strong declaration about the goodness of the Lord and his commitment to Him. Almost immediately he turned to someone else and denied what he had just affirmed. He did this several times. I also saw other people doing the same thing. The Lord said, “Many people need to mop out their wishy washy mouths before they come to My table. I looked at the mop in the bucket and thought about how that was the only thing in the room for cleansing. It wasn’t a pleasant thought, but it seemed to be better than the alternative of standing before the Lord with a double minded spirit. I didn’t see anyone use the mop to clean their mouth, but I felt like many of us needed to do something to clean up.
When we received communion this morning, I prayed for the blood of Jesus to cleanse our hands, mouths and feet. I prayed for the Lord to purge everything that might hinder us from drawing near to Him. I prayed for the blood of Jesus to come into us and purify our hearts so that they can be a clean temple for the Lord’s presence. Cleanse us O Lord and renew our minds in the mighty name of Yeshua ha Messiach. Amen and Amen!!!
