What Heaven Is Saying Today by Pastor James Durham

What Heaven is Saying Today

As I entered the Lord’s presence this morning, I heard Him ask, “What do you see on the horizon?” To tell you the truth, I couldn’t really see anything except dark clouds brooding over the horizon in the distance. I pondered the Lord’s word and wonder how to release a Word like this. Then the Lord spoke again and asked, “What do you see on the horizon?” Now, I realized that I needed wisdom and revelation to answer the Lord. I prayed for the Holy Spirit to release what I needed to understand and answer the Lord. I specifically asked the Spirit of truth to release this part of the truth to me. Then I heard the Lord ask for the third time, “What do you see on the horizon?”

 

I answered truthfully, that all I could see right now was darkness and brooding clouds. The Lord said, “Most of my prophets are seeing the same thing. In this season everyone is expecting prophetic words about the coming year and to receive understanding about what to expect. Right now the cloud of deception is exceptionally thick and the darkness is heavy over the world and to some degree over My people. You will only be able to see by the Light of My Gospel! You will only be able to understand by the power of faith! You will only be able to function by the strength of My Glory! You will only be able to minister through the enabling power of My grace!”

 

At this point, I began to gain some wisdom from the Holy Spirit. Too many of us have been trying to accomplish things in our own power, minister through our own anointing, and strive with our own limited strength. This will not work in the coming year. More than ever before, we need to turn to the Lord for understanding, wisdom, grace, faith, authority, and spiritual power. I read something which touched me in the Complete Jewish Bible this morning. 1 John 3:21-24, “Dear friends, if our hearts know nothing against us, we have confidence in approaching God; then, whatever we ask for, we receive from Him: because we are obeying His commands and doing the things that please Him. This is His command: that we are to trust in the person and power of His Son, Yeshua the Messiah and to keep loving one another, just as He commanded us. Those who obey His commands remain united with Him and He with them. Here is how we know that He remains united with us, by the Spirit whom He gave us.” There is an urgency in this hour to trust in the person and power of Yeshua ha Messiach! We cannot lean on our own understanding in a time of deception which is this great.

 

I know that you know these things. However, the Lord wants us to anchor ourselves again and more deeply on these promises and on His person and power! We must be very discerning in this season because the deception is so great. Remember John’s teaching in 1 John 4:1-4, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” I know that you know these things, but you  are going to need this word today! I received a revelation that things are coming which will only be resolved fully if we are standing on these specific promises!

 

Another key to discerning is paying attention to who is willing to listen to the Word of God today. We need this kingdom key to understand who is with us and who is with the world. The Key is found in 1 John 4:6, “We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.” These kingdom keys are important for each of us today! I feel this great urgency in my spirit from the Holy Spirit to say this as strongly as possible. You will not be able to do business as usual today! You must trust the person and power of Yeshua ha Messiach and open up to the Spirit of truth to decide wisely and choose well today! Amen and Amen!!!!
