What Heaven is Saying Today
What an awesome morning! It seemed like the Bibles I read this morning were alive with the presence of the Holy Spirit. I joyously received one revelation after another. As I started up to the worship room, I seemed to walk through a fragrant cloud. It was the same fragrance I encountered a few days ago. It was so sweet and also seemed to be filled with a powerful cleansing fragrance. As I reached the top of the stairs, I went through it again. At the door to the worship room, it was very strong and I felt like I was walking through a spirit and soul wash (like a car wash). As I turned on the praise music, the sweet fragrance of His Spirit swirled around me. It then occurred to me that this was the Spirit of holiness coming with cleansing power to prepare us for His presence.
I covered myself with a large Tallit and went face down in His presence. I was suddenly lifted by the Holy Spirit through a cloudy portal into the realms of Heaven. I was carried by the Spirit from beautiful place to beautiful place. At each place I felt a deep sense of shalom. As I traveled from shalom to shalom, I felt more and more of His cleansing power. I thought about Ezekiel 20. Over and over the Lord decreed, “I Am the Lord your God.” In verse 12, He declared, “I made them holy.” Today the Spirit of Holiness is present to make those seeking the Lord’s face clean and holy. Are you ready to receive it? I pray that the sweet cleansing fragrance of the Lord will surround you and bring all of this to you today.
After being carried to more places of shalom and cleansing than I was able to count, I looked down on an open field and saw the Lord standing there covered with His prayer shawl. I was slowly lowered into His presence. I immediately went into a kneeling position before the Lord with my face toward the ground. I wanted to look into His face, but I was in such awe that I could only humbly bow before Him. He reached out both hands and placed them on the back part of my shoulders. I felt Him releasing a fresh anointing to impart the renewed mind. I joyfully received it for myself, but I knew that it was for you. I release it to you today. Let the Spirit of Holiness overtake you and come upon you today. Let Him bring cleansing to your spirit and soul to enable you to enter into the awesome presence of the Lord today. I thought about Psalm 24:3-4a, “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,” It is the Lord who makes you clean. It is the Lord who makes you holy. Let Him do this work in you today.
It just occurred to me that these things began as I got out of bed this morning at 4:42 a.m. I heard the Lord say that He was coming soon and we needed to decide if He would find us clean or unclean when He arrives. As I stood up I noticed that it was 4:43 a.m. It occurred to me that this was a message from Isaiah. So, I went to Isaiah 44:2-3, “Thus says the Lord who made you and formed you from the womb, who will help you: ‘Fear not, O Jacob My servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring;” May the Lord pour water on you and flood the ground around you that you may be in divine health and prosper in all you do for Him today and always! May the blessing of the Lord overtake you and come upon you today! I pray these things in the mighty name of Yeshua ha Messiach! Amen and Amen!!!
