What Heaven is Saying Today
This morning the presence of the Lord was awesome. As I put my tallit over my shoulders and head, I felt His mighty power coming up from the floor and flowing through my body. As I began to pray and worship, His powerful presence was falling on me and saturating me in spirit, soul and body. I was so delighted with His presence and experienced so much joy in giving Him praise, worship, honor and glory this morning. As I went face down before Him covered with my tallit, I began to receive a long series of visions. In each, I saw the presence of the Lord with people in many different places and situations.
I saw someone walking through a forest surrounded by the light and warmth of the sun. The light made the white bark on the birch trees seem like the pure light of His holiness. As a family walked in the woods, I saw that the Lord was a short distance away walking along with them. I could not tell if they were aware of His presence, but their calm assurance seemed to reflect a knowledge of His protective presence. Then I saw people walking on a busy city street. As these individuals pressed through the crowded streets, the Lord was constantly by their side. I saw someone walk into a dark room seemingly filled with uncertainty and fear. Then I saw that the Lord was there with them and they had nothing to fear. I saw children and adults in many places. I saw many more of these brief visions. The things I saw seemed unrelated at first until I noticed that the one constant was the presence of the Lord. The words of Psalm 139 began to fill my mind:
“O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.” Psalm 139:1-8
I don’t know what you are dealing with today, but I am certain that the Lord is with you. I don’t know how deep and foreboding your darkness may seem today, but I know that the Lord is present with you. I don’t know where you will have to travel today or how anxious you may be about those around you, but I know that the presence of the Lord is always with you and you have nothing to fear. Whatever your situation, remember 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” The perfect love of the Lord casts out all fear (1 John 4:17-18). I pray that He will open your spiritual ears to hear His comforting voice. I pray that He will open your spiritual eyes to see that He is always with you, even to the end of the age. I pray that He will open your heart to perceive the depth of His love and care for you today and always. I pray these things in the mighty name of Yeshua ha Messiach! Amen and Amen!!!
