What Heaven is Saying Today
During the last couple of weeks I have been intensely involved in writing a new book. Most of the revelations I received were related to the book. Yesterday, I woke up with a new chapter in my mind and was given a new direction for how the book is to be written. This morning in our Worship Room I prayed over the lists of prayer requests and then went face down before the Lord. In a few moments, I was given an unusual vision. I saw the Lord holding someone in his right hand (hand of authority). This person was positioned like a child having a temper fit on the floor in a public place. This person was kicking and screaming and thrashing his feet and arms in protest. I looked to the Lord as He gently caressed the persons back with His left hand (hand of love) and softly spoke, “Calm down! Try to listen! Try to see that I mean you no harm!
Suddenly the Holy Spirit led me to Jeremiah 29:11-14b, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD,” I thought the person would calm down, but that didn’t happen. The temper fit continued in spite of these comforting words from the Lord.
I understood in my spirit that many people are protesting against the Lord right now, because they have misunderstood His plans and intent for their lives. People claim to be seeking the will of God, but many think He wants to limit their options, take away their benefits, and do them harm. This is not the work of the Lord. Check it out in John 10:10. Then the Spirit led me to another scripture: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:1-2) When you discover the actual will of the Lord, you will begin, by your life witness, to “prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” First, you need “be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Amen?
The person I saw in the vision continued to protest and release his temper tantrum. On the other hand, I was greatly comforted. I sought again the renewal of my mind and prayed that I would be equipped to spread the glory of the Lord to the nations. How about you? How are you responding to the Lord’s plans and His will in your life? Amen?
