What Heaven is Saying Today
This morning I had a vision of being seated at a great banquet table in Heaven. The interesting thing was that breakfast was being served. I understood this to mean that a new day (new time, new season) of the Lord has begun. In this new day, we are being invited to eat in order to strengthen us for what is to come. I thought about Elijah being fed enough to carry him for 40 days. “Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.” Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again. And the angel of the Lord came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.” So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God.” (1 Kings 19:5-8) We are being fed a double portion now to carry us through to the place of the Lord’s choosing so that we can accomplish what we are assigned to do for the Kingdom.
Then I saw several visions of spiritual warfare. In each, the enemy was attacking with different types of weapons, but none of them were able to get through our protective covering. They did us no harm. Our weapons were able to overcome his attacks each time. I thought about 2 Corinthians 10:4-6, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.” In these visions, I did not see any people. This was a strong reminder that we are not fighting against people, but against the enemy forces. Remember Ephesians 6:12, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
The Lord was telling us to get moving with our mission for the Kingdom and to reject all fear. We must always remember 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.” The enemy is attacking, but the Lord’s covering is stronger. Take up your position today and trust the Lord to protect you and provide for you. Amen? Remember Isaiah 54:17, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord.
