“Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.”
Psalms 4:1 NKJV
We’ve carried an uneasy even fearful feeling as we’ve encountered the threats and intimidation of the enemy over this last year but we are beginning to see Heaven itself break through to come close to us, closer than ever before. God hears our hearts cry louder than our words. We are no longer asking him for help with our lips our hearts are crying out for Him!
“So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He. And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” But after that no one dared question Him.”
Mark 12:32-34 NKJV
This man’s heart was overflowing with loving for God. His words lined up with what was coming out of his heart. Jesus hears and responds to what is coming out of our hearts when we speak to Him. This man’s heart was completely given over to the Lord, he was consumed with love for God and this drew the Kingdom of Heaven near to him.
It is October and each year in the month of October when I feel the stirring to do so I decorate my entire house for Christmas and even begin playing Christmas music all day long. For this past year leading up to this point I felt compelled to celebrate by faith much like Esther, who was forced to attend two banquet celebrations in the presence of her enemy. We have now reached a point of longing for God that Heaven is drawing near to us. Doors are opening in the spirit giving us access to the things of Heaven.
A loved one just went to Washington DC on a prayer assignment and as I covered her in prayer I saw her stepping on landmines of glory! “BOOM! POW!” I saw sudden unexpected releases of God’s glory exploding all over the place as she and others accidentally stepped on these divine landmines placed there by our founding fathers.
I’m seeing sudden breakthroughs for people who never thought their lives could be any different. My hair dresser told me yesterday that after more then a decade of suffering Ménière’s disease God has healed her! I have a family member who has suffered greatly mentally, physically and emotionally for the last 3 decades. She’s tried many times to extricate herself from the oppression of her highly hostile home life but all of a sudden out of nowhere the hand of God moved and a door was open to her which revealed a new life of redemption and freedom she never thought she could have on this side of Heaven!
I see in the spirit multitudes of little personal victories breaking forth all over our country. As each one comes we as a body of Christ grow stronger and gain a foothold against the enemy.
“But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The Lord will hear when I call to Him.”
Psalms 4:3 NKJV
Gods people are being set apart as those belonging to Him, holding great places of power and distinction. Jesus promised that we would do even greater works that He did when He walked this earth. That hasn’t happened yet. We have not come into the fullness of that promise. This is what has yet to be fulfilled in the church. As Heaven comes nearer than ever before we will partner with the heart of God and walk in levels of His glory never before seen on the earth. This will be an irresistible draw to the lost as the passion of the church becomes inflamed for the Master.
“You have put gladness in my heart, More than in the season that their grain and wine increased. I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.”
Psalms 4:7-8 NKJV
This is a time to allow God to put gladness in your heart, tap into the feast of Heaven and walk in that joy refusing to let anything take away from that celebration and expectation in your spirit.
For me I will continue to listen to Christmas music each day and imagine that the big day could come at any time. The celebration of the Kingdom of Heaven will come to put gladness in your heart and engulf you and everyone you come in contact with leading you to places of victory and conquest one after the other.
Amen and Amen. It is a blessed season we walk in. More than ever before we behold His Glory. The day has come for rejoicing. Hallelujah amen.
