What Heaven is Saying Today
SHABBAT SHALOM!
Did you feel it this morning? The presence of the Lord is so strong and the power of His glory is so great that it is very difficult to stand before Him. I willingly went face down and prayed in the Spirit for a few minutes. Then the Lord began to release a series of visions. I will share three of these this morning. I saw a great storm coming in from the west. The leading edge of the storm was thick and dark. I thought I could hear thunder, but I didn’t see any lightening. Then I realized it was the voice of the Lord thundering a command to the storm. The Lord said, “Let it rain!” Suddenly a mighty downpour of rain hit the earth below. There was so much water that I was concerned about flooding. I asked if this was raining blessings or judgment. The Lord said that both things were happening. I saw some areas become fertile and start to produce a great harvest. Other areas were being flooded and much damage was unleased.
The storm continued to move and I heard the Lord thunder again and again, “Let it rain!” Each time a great outpouring of rain hit the earth in various areas. The Lord was making it clear that this was not just regional, but is coming to all of us. Whether you experience it as a blessing or as a judgment depends on your relationship with the Lord. It is time to be so close to Him that nothing can harm us. I thought about the second half of Luke 10:19, “…and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Remember the promise in James 4:8, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” It is time to draw near. This verse also comes with an admonition: “Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” There are preparations we need to make quickly. Then I was drawn to another promise in James 4:10, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” May we all humble ourselves and pray for provision and healing! May the Lord lift us up, provide for us, and release His protection over us! Amen!
Then I saw a huge symbol of freemasonry being obliterated as if a huge brush was painting over it. Then other symbols of human organizations and political movements were similarly obliterated. I heard the Lord saying, “None of the organizations or movements of this world can provide for you in a season of judgment.” I was led by the Holy Spirit to Psalm 65:9-11, “You visit the earth and water it, You greatly enrich it; The river of God is full of water; You provide their grain, for so You have prepared it. You water its ridges abundantly, You settle its furrows; You make it soft with showers, You bless its growth. You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance.” This is the Lord’s plan for all who draw near to Him and faithfully follow His guidance through the Holy Spirit. He is not calling us to be afraid, but to draw near to Him.
Then another vision came. I saw someone get up from a chair to answer the doorbell. This person was still in his pajamas and wearing a bathrobe. The Lord was at the door and this person was not ready to follow Him. I heard the Holy Spirit say, “Stay dressed and ready!” I believe this is about readiness more than clothing. We don’t have to wear our street clothes to bed, but we need to be spiritually dressed and ready at any moment to move with the Lord. Don’t be caught unaware! Remember what the Lord said in Mark 13:35-37, “Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning—lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” How is your watching today? Are you dressed and ready for the Master’s return? The Lord is calling us to readiness today. Amen?
