What Heaven is Saying Today
The weight of His Presence was so strong this morning that I had to go face down to keep from falling backwards under the glory. I was filled with a desire for the Glory of the Lord to cover the earth. I spoke the words of Habakkuk 2:14, “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” This is truly my heart’s desire. So, I began to cry out for more glory and to be allowed to witness the manifestation of the Lord’s promise given through Habakkuk.
In answer to this prayer, I was suddenly lifted up into His presence. I was standing on His right side watching as a child looked into His face with great heaviness and sadness. A tear was running down the side of his right cheek as he cried out to the Lord in intercession. This kind of sadness and grief seemed out of place in Heaven. So, I sought revelation to understand it. Suddenly, I could understand the little boy’s thoughts. He was interceding for His parents. He was pleading with the Lord to find a way for them to come to a saving knowledge of the Lord so that he could one day be reunited with them in Heaven.
Then the Spirit let me know that he was a new arrival and the Lord was letting him express these concerns and to intercede for his parents before working a miracle for the little boy. Two passage of scripture were given to me about what I was seeing: Revelation 7:16-17, “They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” and Revelation 21:4 “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
As I watched, Jesus moved His right hand across in front of the little boy’s face and he was completely changed. He was now free to enjoy all the good things of the Lord in Heaven. He ran over to a group of children and began to play with them. As I watched this beautiful scene, I understood that what I had seen had two meanings. First, this was a real little boy about 5-6 years old who had gone to Heaven and the Lord wanted his parents to know that he is perfectly well and protected. He wants the parents to be drawn to Him so that one day the little boy’s prayer would be answered. The second thing I understood was that the little boy is also you and me. We need to be going before the Lord to pray for all our family members to come to a saving knowledge of Yeshua ha Messiach. We also need to be praying for the salvation of all those who remain lost.
Suddenly, I was caught up in an open vision. I was riding on a subway car filled with people from different backgrounds. I saw a family of Orthodox Jews being persecuted by some vicious people on the train. The children were attempting to play freely and the father was reading a newspaper as they tried valiantly to ignore the hatred coming at them. I saw this as a powerful message from the Lord for us to be interceding for all the Jewish people under persecution right now. Anti-Semitism is getting stronger around the world and in our nation. We need to speak out while there is time. The nations are moving toward another holocaust as if they have completely forgotten the lessons of the last century. I remembered the words of my good friend Rabbi Mordecai Daina who escaped from Poland during the Nazi persecution. He said to me, “One thing we learned in Poland was that if we stood by while they came for you today, tomorrow they would come for us!” I am crying out for the Shalom of God to come to Jerusalem, Israel, and all Jewish people around the world. I am crying out for peace, provision, protection, prosperity, productivity, power and prophetic words to guide them to Adonai Elohim through Yeshua ha Messiach!
May it never be said of us: “I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.” (Ezekiel 22:30) May the Lord find us faithful in our generation to intercede for the land and people of Israel! May the Lord find us daily crying out for Shalom in Jerusalem. Remember this command of the Lord: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, prosperity within your palaces. For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, ‘Peace be within you.’ Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good.” (Psalm 122:6-9) Amen and Amen!!!
