What Heaven is Saying Today
The Presence was awesome again this morning. I was waiting for a word from the Lord for a long time, but didn’t receive anything. So, I decided to just soak in His Glory and enjoy His awesome Presence. As I worshiped and waited, I felt like a spiritual hand took me by the right wrist and lifted my hand in praise. This was awesome and I didn’t want to lose this strong contact from the Lord. So, I just waited and enjoyed Him more and more. I had a strong feeling that this was enough even if I didn’t receive anything else. Suddenly, I saw an open door in Heaven and someone standing in the door. The light of the glory was so strong that I couldn’t see the features of the person in the door. He appeared like a silhouette. I didn’t feel any sense of being invited through the door which was completely blocked by this person. It didn’t seem appropriate for me to initiate any movement at this time. So, I just waited for more revelation and continued to soak in His awesome Presence. I was very content just to be in the Presence. Are you feeling this? Wow! The Lord is good and His mercy endures forever! Amen?
Suddenly, I passed through the door and was carried by the Spirit to a place where I could clearly see a hand writing in a book or on a scroll (I couldn’t tell which). As I watched this hand writing something in Hebrew, I thought in my spirit how wonderful it would have been to learn Hebrew as a child so that I could read what was being written. I urge all young people to study Hebrew. I am certain that you will never regret it. As I was thinking these things, I heard a voice saying, “Judgments are being written.” My thoughts immediately went to Romans 1:28-32, “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.” In my spirit, I began to cry out, “May this never be said of you or me! May we always stay focused on the Lord and never be given over to a “debased mind!” May we stay true to His Word and live lives which will please, bless and glorify Him!
Suddenly I was given a vision of a village nestled between mountains. I believe this village is in Israel. In the vision, it was early morning and the sun was rising over the distant hills, but had not yet fully touched this village. It seemed so beautiful and peaceful that I thought about how blessed they must feel. This thought changed however, when I heard the Lord speak these words from Psalm 30, “Sorrow may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” Later, I went to that Psalm and was touched by Psalm 30:4-5, “Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” We are in a season of restoration and the Lord is bringing back His joy. If you have been through a night of sorrow or a night of weeping, receive the good news – morning is close! The Son is rising and your joy is very near.
My thoughts went to Isaiah 60:1-5, “Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather together, they come to you; your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be nursed at your side. Then you shall see and become radiant, and your heart shall swell with joy; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.” I was sort of luxuriating in these things when I heard the Lord say, “Comfort, yes, comfort My people! Says your God.” (Isaiah 40:1)
I don’t know about you, but I am feeling comforted by these words of the Lord today! I pray that the sevenfold Shalom of Father God will come to you today. l pray that the consolation of the Holy Spirit will fill you today and bless you beyond anything which has come against you! I pray that you will receive all the blessings of this season of the Open Heaven and restoration! I am praying all these things in the mighty name of Yeshua ha Messiach! Amen and Amen!!!
