The Gates In The Glory! Part 5

The righteous and those seeking righteousness run to it and are saved, healed, delivered, set free, filled up and overflowing! 

Nothing has shaped, fashioned and formed this vision onto paper more than these keys that to me represent peace (Pursue peace with all people AND holiness, without which no one will see the Lord...Hebrews 12:14) , maturity (...and this also...that you may be made complete...2 Corinthians 13:9), wisdom (...the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom...Proverbs 9:10), family (...the whole family in heaven and earth are named...Ephesians 3:15), unity in love (And now abide faith, hope and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love...1 Corinthians 13:13). These are that which I am more than certain God wants you amidst...and prayer is what puts it all together...the most important of all!

"...For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all Nations"...Isaiah 56:7

The day I am remembering is likened unto this verse...'prayed again...' says James 5:18 ...it was a Sunday afternoon and it was a very great torrential downpour, never having seen it rain so hard all my life or since then. Raining so hard it hurt. I couldn't get upstairs to my room fast enough, ignoring everything else to undeniable intercession that came over me. A power travailing, one that came over me to not only endure what was happening in this incredibly intense prayer that was even physically painful, but to know after drawing myself up off of the tear-soaked carpet that no matter what God was doing something very amazing! Several hours later it was still raining and even harder. Much has happened since that day. Many evils have taken place. But God's grace and mercy superceded them all! Now I read the rest of the verse and it shouts, Now!...'and the earth produced its fruit'...James 5:1

It's time for church to come to fruition, that many see, come after that light, follow after it until its found, where there is found the mercy and grace that many had not known before.

But it is written, "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God...1 Corinthians 2:9-10

A light to see...the gates in the glory!

And so I worship with rejoicing expectation!

I rejoice at Your word as one who finds great treasure...Psalm 119:162

Closing my eyes, I seen Him. He took both of my hands and smiled sweetly. His eyes...such love. I know by now He is full of love. To encounter Him in such an intimate way, in such the ways that I have. I know His love. It never runs dry. It can only spur you further toward love and good deeds. His whole being radiates love. You want to show everyone who He really is. He knew my love for Him was great, but in the moment He stood before me all I could do was receive because His love is so intense and full that you know that is what you are to do. He said nothing. He didn't have to. We danced slowly, but the focus was on His compassion, not the dance, as precious as it was. I am also shaken or rather, greatly in awe, at this encounter because consistently he has gotten closer and closer each time He has chosen to come to me, showing himself in vision!

When I think of this I am both in awe and in tears
 of joy! He cupped my face in his hands then took my hands again in His and then again cupped my face in His hands and then again took my hands in His. I couldn't take my focus off His eyes, radiating such love, though strangely I knew while I was in such awe I also was paying great attention to what He was showing me how I would be ministering to many. I wept for joy. 

He is love.

You are so very loved!

The Gates In The Glory! Part 4

How is it that you are being led to serve? It is too in the glory! Vision has been birthed and is being fashioned from a place of service where the going unto these gates, there shall be glory seen round about. Service in the kingdom of God is how leaders are born to lead. There is life in serving. There is glory in serving. And your joy is seen in it!

There are no mandates that tell us how...one might serve in menial places and by tasks that no others do or feel led to. Others serve others unto serving God in ways that are both seen and unseen. Still others serve as leaders...as these have learned through service and sometimes for years, often what has been already and even that which felt like blood, sweat and tears.

But they hated their lives, or how it was so in the world and they went after kingdom service and gained eternal life (paraphrased)...John 12:25

1 Peter 5:2...Shepherd the flock of God...serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain, but eagerly. 

Serving changes the heart and there is growth! There is flight, movement, flow in and toward the upward call!

Serving carries with it a 'want to' an ever growing love, a peace, a place where glory resides, a place that grows into a longing to love more. A molding, a fashioning into what God has called you to. There are no gift mixes! The gifts are produced from the love of service. It's where growth has been made and continues to make whole, from not loving your life, but rather learning one's identity in Him, that you serve out of love from who you are.

Glory shows up round about and and together the church radiates with love and power and anointing. This is that ingedient that powers the anointing and empowers the church!

The Gates In The Glory! Part 3

1 Corinthians 10:24...Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being...How has your well been? How full are you? Are you being edified?  Are you encouraging others? Producers of joy are contagious and this is where it stems or if you will...its rooted nourishment. Love covers a multitude of sin. Encouragement in love is to be manufactured into the foundations of the church, running down the walls in the anointing, saturating the atmosphere that none can deny.

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, The Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth neither faints, nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength...Isaiah 40:28-29

Psalm 103:4-5...Who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies who satisfies your mouth with good thing, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's

In the profound and quite astonishing vision given just days ago, it seems to have errupted a freshness, a love, a new version of this revelation of vision moving about....carrying so much, seen in an all new way, fresh! It is still new! All glory to his matchless and wonderful name! 

And so given in these next few areas or ministries of the church I hear, "edify". This is not new to what I know the church is to be made of and what I believe brings about true wholeness, but this word I share not only brings about a different perspective for the church but for 'Glory To His Name' church 9 Keys,  ministries that edify the body of the church in so many new and different ways!

The Gates In The Glory! Part 1

Psalm 118:19-20..."Open to me the gates of righteousness." I will go through them and I will praise the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord that the righteous shall enter.

Exalting, a drawing unto, worship, love at the apex of worship...and it was raining and dark (truly on this damp February night) and suddenly way up in the sky there was a neon portal, shaped like a house, likened unto ...the best way to explain it...a large plastic neon rope necklaces that are broken open unto bright light. Place your pointer fingers above your head, come down a 45° degree slope on both sides and then to the ground as if you are drawing. Exceeding higher than a house, purposed for onlookers to find their way. I felt this for many.... It mimicked the desire to find where it was as when one sees a rainbow...a childlike excitement! There was an incredible desire that there was more for those who had no hope, those who did not know their Savior.

Isaiah 26:2-3...Open up the gates, that the righteous nation that keeps the truth may enter in. You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You....Hearts made right!

There were lifting heads in the darkness round about...North, South, East and West...all looking up to this neon light that I believe carried far greater meaning than a lit up figure of a house in the night. They were looking, searching, wanting to know where the light was. In other words, it was foreign to them, if not then a distant memory. This speaks on many levels.

Isaiah 43:5-6...Fear not, for I will gather your descendants from the east and gather them from the west. I will say to the north, "Give them up" and to the south, "Do not keep them back."

Only encouragement can lift heads. This was the light of the church. They were looking to see where the beginning and end of this light was, to were it was across the land. There was an urgency because the truth was in their search. This light was showing them the way home. I felt in the knowing too many over time didn't see and couldn't find it. My heart ached for these.

Luke 2:32...A light to bring revelation...and the glory! 

GLORY TO HIS NAME Church

***Prayer***

"Visions of Glory" "Assembly of Worship" Spirit-Filled Symposium

First, Intercessors shall be called to prayer whenever possible for six days, around the clock with security. On the seventh day (10 leaders designated to the Worship Arts ministry will give a 10 minute targeted explanation of what each of the 7 areas will include.  A 'Worship Arts' Pastor will have already been placed to oversee the Worship Arts portion of the church. There will then be time after the vision is given for worship for a personal time of ministry and giving one to another. Group Instructors will lead designated areas of:

Leaders then receive sign ups for 1 week of 'Gifts Counseling' training, Expectations, Practice Times and  Light Refreshements.
