What Heaven is Saying Today
After an awesome time in worship, I went face down before the Lord as I prayed to know what the Lord is saying today that we can say and what the Lord is doing today that we can do. Suddenly, I went through something like a thin veil of light. In this vision of the Lord, I saw a huge pile of very ancient armor. Each piece of armor was very ornate and seemed to be something worn by a king or a general. Many of the pieces were helmets and some were made of gold. As I thought about how magnificent these looked, I saw a huge hole in the middle of the pile. I move closer and saw that it was actually a very deep pit which seemed almost bottomless.
Then I heard the Lord say: “What the world sees as symbols of honor and strength is like a deep pit to me. This is not real honor and there is no lasting glory in the affairs of men.” A passage of scripture came to mind.
Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because “All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you. (1 Peter 1:22-25)
Then I saw a door open into heaven. Actually, it was two doors. The first door opened and I saw a short hallway to the second door which also opened. As I watched, a man walked through the first door. Suddenly he was sprayed with living water. As it covered his body, he seemed to disappear. Then I realized that all of his outer appearance, honor and human glory was washed away so that he could enter into the Lord’s presence. I thought about David’s question 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 willing to receive it, the Lord provides the cleansing necessary for us to enter into the Presence.
With natural eyes, I was unable to see the man at this point, but in the Spirit I watched him move through the second door. On the other side of this door, I could see a magnificent amber light which looked like fire. It was the glory of the Lord and the man was now able to be in His presence. This was such a wonderful thing to watch. I am praying for you to receive the Lord’s cleansing today. May the living water flow over you and through you so that you will have clean hands and a pure heart! May you enter into the Glory of the Lord! Cast off all human glory and seek only the glory of the Lord. Amen?
