What Heaven is Saying Today
This morning I felt very hurried as I am working to write recommendations for people and to finish reviewing a book. I immediately heard the Lord telling me to slow down and rest in His presence. This was a very pleasing thought, but I knew I needed His help to do it. So, I asked and received. Then I felt something welling up in my heart. It was a desire to hear a fresh word from the Lord for today. So, I began to ask the Spirit of Truth to reveal what the Lord is saying and doing that we can also say and do. Immediately, I was given a series of visions which I could not understand without the help of the Holy Spirit.
First, I saw a woman dressed in a winter coat and cap standing behind a mailbox. I could see her house behind her. It was standing between sections of a forest in what appeared to be a rural area. It was snowing as the woman stood behind the mailbox apparently waiting for the mail to be delivered. Her dog was sitting on her right side patiently waiting with her. Snow began to collect on both the woman and the dog. They were both motionless and seemed almost frozen in place. The Holy Spirit told me that they were waiting for a revelation from heaven, but didn’t know how to receive it. They were seeking the same way they had done daily for a long time with no results. The problem was that they were being misled by a religious spirit to expect something extraordinary from the ordinary means visible in the natural. We need a breakthrough in order to see the Open Heavens and to begin to receive from Him in new Spirit driven ways. If you are frozen in an old pattern which is not working, it is time for a breakthrough. I heard the words of the Lord in Matthew 7:7-8, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” Don’t give up! Don’t quit! Now is the time to ask, seek and knock on the doors of the Heavens! Amen?
Suddenly, everything shifted and a new vision opened. I was standing on the street of a large city. I was in a residential section where people lived in the old “brown stone” row houses. I was looking at a mailbox on the street just behind a wrought iron fence. This would not be there in the natural. The mailboxes for these houses were normally lock boxes on the wall near the door or just inside a doorway. This was different from the first because it had a supernatural component. Then I saw someone trying to get to the mailbox, but they couldn’t get their shoes tied correctly. The person attempted over and over with different methods to get their shoes ready. I asked for wisdom to understand and the Spirit provided. Some who have access to the supernatural are not spiritually prepared to receive what the Lord is releasing. This is also a time for needed breakthrough. Many have been trying to do it their way instead of God’s way and it isn’t working. In spite of their desires for breakthrough, they keep doing the same old things. The Lord said that it is time to stop our striving and let Him do the work.
Suddenly a package appeared in the hands of the person who had been struggling with the shoes. I watched as she opened the package and we were both surprised by the contents. It was a large crystal rocking horse. It was very beautiful, but it didn’t seem like a practical gift. It was too small to be ridden and it would probably break if someone tried. It was not something you would normally see as a collector’s item. So, I asked for wisdom and revelation. The Lord told me that it is time to ride forth with the gospel, but many do not know how to do that. They are holding on to beautiful but impractical means. This is also a word about breakthrough. I began to long to see the Lord’s white horses which will be ridden by the host of the Heavens in the last days. I felt ready to ride, and I wanted to hear the command of the Lord to begin now. Are you feeling this desire too?
I am praying that the Lord will send the Holy Spirit to prepare us to receive what He has for us in this season. I am praying for revelation to assist us in letting go of everything that hinders us spiritually. I am praying for us to receive what Jesus promised in John 16:12-14, “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.” May the Spirit of Truth be powerfully present with you to prepare you for everything the Lord has for you now! Amen and Amen!!!!
