What Heaven is Saying Today
This morning I went before the Lord with so much gratitude in my heart. I just wanted to give Him praise, glory, honor and majesty. As I was expressing these things in prayer, the Lord gave me a vision of a window with closed plantation blinds. It was very bright outside, but little of the light was coming through because the blinds were closed. In front of the window, I saw a potted plant. The unusual thing was that all of this was upside down. Then the Lord told me that many people are blocking the light of His glory from shining through because they have an upside down world view. They are not willing or able to see things correctly right now. I remembered Jesus’ words in Matthew 13:13, “Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.” May we have our spiritual eyes wide open to see the glory of the Lord! Amen?
Suddenly I was given a second vision. I saw a large opening into Heaven just above us. I thought about Mark 1:10, “As Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.” The Lord has torn an opening for us and it is still available today. Then I began to see many things moving into a position between my eyes and the opening. These were not bad things. In fact, they are good things, however when people focus on these good things to the expense of seeing the open heaven it is a problem. We need to focus on the best things more than the merely good things. I thought about what Jesus said in Revelation 2:4-5, “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.” People in the church located in Ephesus were doing many good things. Yet, they needed to repent because they had lost their focus on what must be their first love.
I heard the Lord calling us to repent and get focused back on our first love. Many people are not even aware that they have lost their first love. They have become so busy doing the good things that their vision of the best thing has been cluttered. As I prayed in repentance and asked the Lord to help us to get back to our first love, the first vision came back, however the window and plant were now right side up. As I looked at this scene, the blinds began to open and the light of His glory burst into the room. I felt warm, blessed and favored with His presence and glory. I am praying that you will also experience the fullness of His light and glory today and always. I am praying this in the mighty name of Yeshua ha Messiach! Amen and Amen!!!
