What Heaven is Saying Today
This morning I visited a portion of the River of Living Water I had not previously seen. I was with the Lord high above what looked like a massive waterfall which was larger than any on the earth. The size of the falls and the massive volume of water flowing over it were both amazing to see. I looked with awe at the flow of water and the mist which rose above the area where the water was falling. Then I noticed something I had seen before but not associated with the River of Life. I was able to slow time and watch individual drops of water falling slowly over the falls. I could choose to speed it up and see the normal flow or slow it down and watch individual parts of the flow. I had experienced this before at the Temple in Heaven where I was able to slow the movement of light and watch it reflect from one area of pure gold back to another area. It is wonderful to be free from the limitations of time.
Then the Lord said, “This is the problem! People are able in their spirits to slow the flow of living water! Many have brought the flow in them to a complete halt. There are many reasons for this. Some choose not to share with others and the flow stops. Some don’t want to be criticized for their flowing spirits and choose to hide it from the world. Others choose to keep every drop for themselves, but there is too much flowing. So, they use their gifts to stop the flow.” Then the Lord reminded me of 1 Corinthians 14:32, “And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.” Your spirit is subject to you. You can release it or you can hinder it. Lord, are there ways in which I have hindered the flow of living water? If I have done this, Lord help me to break off whatever hinders the flow which is meant to bless your other children! Amen! This may be a good time for you to ask the same questions.
Then I heard the Lord saying, “It is time to break off the spirit of poverty from my people! It is this spirit which tempts them to withhold the flow from others! It is this spirit which makes them fear that they will run out of resources if they let them flow freely! My people must realized that the flow will never stop! It will never run out! There is an unending supply!” I remembered the word the Lord spoke through the prophet Malachi in chapter three verse ten, “Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.”
Have you gone through a time when it seems like the floodgates of heaven have been shut over you and your ministry? I ponder a question for a moment: Has the Lord ever closed the floodgates of heaven? Then I remembered Genesis 8:2, “Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky.” He did this so that the flood could recede and Noah could come out of the ark and move forward in his destiny to subdue the earth and have dominion over it. He was released to be fruitful and multiply. Even this closing of the floodgates produced blessing and favor. But, now the floodgates are open, and those who will let the blessings of heaven flow will receive abundance beyond what they can contain. I remembered Jesus promise in Luke 6:38, “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Withholding blessings blocks the flow in ourselves as well as others. It is time to break off the spirit of poverty and release the fullness of the blessing of the Lord in our lives and in those to whom we are sent to minister. Remember, you have the blessing of righteous Abraham to bless every area of your life and ministry.
All of these things were flowing through my mind as I watched the powerful and awesome flow of the River of Living Water. Then, I realized where I was. The Lord had taken me to the portal in heaven where the waters were being released to His people below. This mighty flow was spilling over the edges of the window of heaven with so much volume that it went to each side and continued to pour out on His people below. It is time for us to receive what the Lord is pouring out! It is time to break off that ugly spirit called poverty! It is time to release the flow in this great outpouring. The idea of limited resources is not from the Lord. It is from the enemy in an attempt to give us a spirit of fear and make an opening in our hedge of protection. We must always remember the promise in 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.” You have more control over the flow than you imagined! You have more spiritual authority than you are now using! Let the Lord remove all the limitations and let it flow forth from you in abundance! Amen!
