What Heaven is Saying Today
This morning I had to press through several dark clouds to get through the portal into Heaven. Many things are being lifted up to block the Lord’s people from having access to Him. The Lord had given me a verse earlier. I had already applied this verse to several situations this morning, and I applied it here. Deuteronomy 23:5, “Nevertheless the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam, but the Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves you.” We must not empower the work of the enemy be getting into fear about what he can do. The Lord is turning his curses into blessings. We need to spend more time focusing on what the Lord is doing and press in to be a part of His work. I challenge you to receive the blessings of the Lord and do not fear the curses of the enemy. 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.”
Suddenly, I was lifted through all these distractions into the resourcing room in Heaven. Then I saw a strange sight: people were being blocked from taking what was not given to them. They were trying to take things provided by the Lord for others. However, they were unable to cut through the ropes binding these gifts. I saw two revelations in this: 1) no one can steal what the Lord is providing for you. Let go of all fear that the thief can succeed! 2) Don’t try to take the anointing or provision which has been designated for someone else. Don’t envy the gifts and abilities of others. You will succeed in your destiny if you receive and use the gifts assigned for you. Remember: The Lord has plenty for everyone, but He chooses who receives and what they receive. 1 Corinthians 12:11, “But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.” It is scriptural to desire spiritual gifts, but not to take what is willed for another. Amen?
Suddenly, I heard the Lord speak aloud, “Ephesians 5:2.” As I looked at this passage, I read both verses 1 and 2, “Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.” I realized that if we “walk in love” we will always act appropriately in the reception and use of spiritual gifts. Amen? Christ has given Himself for us! What more can we ask? Yet, He is so good to provide more and more. I thought about the message in Psalm 115:13-16, “He will bless those who fear the Lord, both small and great. May the Lord give you increase more and more, you and your children. May you be blessed by the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men.” I feel such overwhelming gratitude in my Heart for what the Lord has done, what He is doing right now, and what He will do in the future! Hallelujah! Thank you Lord! Amen and Amen!!!
Suddenly, I was carried to a place where I could look up to a massive waterfall. I didn’t know if this was in Heaven or on the Earth. But then I realized it doesn’t matter. What matters is that there is a powerful flow of living water being made available for those willing to minister in this season of darkness and deception. There is a flow of living water being made available to enliven those to whom you will minster today and always. I remembered what Jesus said in John 7:37-38, “On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” Are you thirsty today? Come to Jesus and drink from the living water He is releasing to all who thirst! Come to Jesus and be gifted to have living water flow from your heart to enliven, bless, and nourish others!
Then suddenly, I was carried to another place where I could see the Sun rising over a vast body of calm waters. The calm over the waters was deceptive. The skies above the waters were very red. I remembered what Jesus said in Matthew 16:2-3, “He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. I felt a great calling from the Lord this morning for His people to discern the times and seasons of the Spirit. Don’t get lulled to sleep by the seemingly calm waters. I am praying that the Lord will give us the spiritual gift of discerning times and seasons in the spiritual realm! May our spiritual eyes and ears be opened wide so that we can see and hear what the Lord is saying to us today! May we always be ready to see, understand and act in accordance with His will! Amen and Amen!!!
As my time with the Lord in Heaven came to a close, I received a warning in a vision. I saw a traffic jam at a busy intersection. Frustrated people were breaking all the traffic rules in order to speed up their travel. There didn’t seem to be any concern about the needs or safety of the other drivers. Then I saw a truck break through into the intersection and hit a vehicle on the driver’s side. This was the warning for today: When you think you have the “right of way” be watchful for someone coming at you who does not have the right. Be very careful in intersections and be especially alert for things coming at you from the left! Amen?
