Heaven's Membrane!

"Who despises the day of small things? Men will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel." Zechariah 4:10

"For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams." Isaiah 44:3-5

"And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood (of Jesus), fire (purging-healing Power of the Holy Spirit) and billows of smoke (the Father's Glory)." Joel 2:28-30

Thank God for those revelational gifts! Without them, where would we be? Within each Believer He has implanted an infallible Guidance System, one that takes us to the location where Jesus has already been, in preparation of our destiny.

Contemplate the numerous possible directions in which the Christian's ship could be steered. There is such a proliferation of demanding messages out there, yes, even seducing demons. Most of them are designed to derail destiny's train. But the Word emphatically states that Satan has no place in us (spirit, soul, body, family, ministry, finances). Neither do his wiles, devices, lies and thoughts. Jesus told that boy to get lost...beat feet behind him on numerous occasions. With the evil one's exodus must accompany hell's own signs and wonders...sickness, poverty, death, deception and oppression. If sin has no place in us, all associated byproducts are also trespassing against a life that belongs to Jesus. We are no longer our own. You and I were not created for hell's torture chamber, but Daddy's arms!

Dreams and visions are the Holy Spirit's language. God's priority is to clean the canvass of each soul, for the purpose of painting an exciting portrait of destiny. The Christian's job is to look at, and confess, that artwork, gestating the imprint until the Word becomes flesh. Never forget, whether it's robbing a bank or becoming President of the United States, everything begins with an inner-picture from somewhere. The recipient must then decide whether to maintain or abort the imprint.

You and I are truly in a Glory to Glory process of being transformed into His express image. That encompasses all regions...vision, thought, intent, behavior and outcome. He is the Great Physician. We are His patients, exercising patience as the Grand Designer fashions us into Vessels of Honor.

Remember that old Polaroid print? After taking the picture and being removed from the camera, a certain amount of time was required for the photo to clarify itself. Slowly but surely, the surface would go from a murky gray to beautifully defined colors. Initially, nothing was apparent on that little light-infused piece of paper. Nevertheless, the photographer, by faith, held his evolving print in hand, knowing that clarity would ultimately arrive. That is not unlike our tarrying for the promise. Waiting and praying are such an integral part of the Potter's molding process. Yieldedness guarantees deliverance and success in everything pertaining to life and godliness.

We are living in a day when being obedient to each nudging and prompting is paramount. Please comprehend this fact. When the Lord speaks, His message doesn't have to make a whole lot of sense. Actually, natural man won't usually comprehend its content. The spiritual is foolishness to a limited (earthly) mindset. That is why the Church needs Her Revelator. The Holy Spirit's mandate is to reveal Jesus, promote salvation to the uttermost, empower and show the Beloved things to come. He does nothing without first revealing Heaven's will through the prophetic. And to think, if available and listening, the Bride can hear daily from God's Transmitter. There is no reason to fail. Father is so high on our being led, He delights when invited into any decision, from wardrobe to diet. Nothing is too big or small. And we can never wear Him out with the most Childlike questions!

Again, the Redeemed need not miss the mark on a single score! Even though most of us do transgress, we don't have to sin. Sickness, poverty and ineffectiveness are in the same basket. Legally, iniquity has no power over the Body of Christ. And we're not in this endeavor alone. The Spirit is continually working within all, to will and do of Dad's good pleasure. What plagues the Follower today, may well be gone tomorrow. It's sort of like losing weight...a pound at a time. You may not notice much the first few days, or even weeks, but your body still works in cooperation with determined and associated efforts.

Walking down God's lighted path guarantees promotion. No one has ever gone under when sincerely selling out, intent on embracing and specializing in Covenant, becoming a legal expert, bearing burdens of the weak, while representing the Almighty in situations and circumstances, and not pleasing that self-life.

The Church is to know Her business well. Dad has poised Himself as Chief Justice of the Universal Supreme Court. As with any good judge, He simply waits for us to present a sound case, based on the Word. His rulings are swift and often earthshaking. So much hangs in the balance of hearing, knowing and obeying.

Whenever a decision is made in the direction of His will, a corresponding action usually results. For every action, there's a reaction. We have the combination to Heaven's Safe! It's called intimacy and faithfulness to His Voice. Should He instruct you to cross the street and stand by a specific tree, do it! Only He knows what will be there. His Unction and Presence are guaranteed. You might find yourself performing the unexpected...winning a lost soul, healing the sick, even raising someone who may have died near that spot. Most importantly, God has made ready (prepared) the ground on which you stand. It's become holy. Once more, common sense doesn't invariably align with His ways. Turn off that head, and trust your heart!

The Rupture And Rapture

Lean not unto natural understanding, Precious One! In all your ways, acknowledge and be led by Me. Your journey is certain. Each step of obedience, including those intercessory acts and prayers, pricks away at Heaven's membrane, that very thin lining, which already has been rent. The dam is about to fully burst. Little is much when I am in it. Despise not the day of small things. An atomic explosion begins with the smallest of creation, but the effect of its impact is devastating. Nothing you've done for the Kingdom has gone unnoticed. Giving a cup of cold water to that little one triggers a Heavenly response that reverberates throughout eternity. I will never sit you down and provide the full picture, from beginning to end, since My very nature insists upon walking by faith and bestowing surprises. There is a tremendous emphasis on not trusting in oppression, emotions or feelings, which change from moment to moment. Haven't you noticed those...the highs and lows in your walk? Destiny...plan, purpose and design, originates within the unseen realm and is birthed by calling those things which be not as though they were, until each becomes. Prepare for some wonderful news! The Glory is about to be released in an onslaught of supernatural love, an affection that demands expression. Truly it will be said...'Where can I go to escape His Presence?' All creation awaits a manifestation. And the Creator in the creation demands restoration and reconciliation. At one point, the rocks wanted to cry out! Delight in the fact that this is an unstoppable movement. Discouraging thoughts and words, designed to promote quitting and fainting, will lose their potency as vision is received, unveiling a defeated foe. The deceived have been programmed for illumination. Overcoming evil of all sorts, with good, will be the norm. Even regions of minute darkness must bend its knee to the Glory. Atoms, molecules and cells will sing forth My praises, having been infused with the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ. Nothing and no one can be the same, once that membrane ruptures. Pray without ceasing in your Spirit. To put the matter another way...be led by the Leader! Leave no stone unturned. Focus on conduiting Dad's love in every matter. Creatively, I will reveal ways of expressing My heart to the lost and dying. Signs and wonders are a part of that unfolding. The only purpose behind pain is to gain attention for midcourse corrections. Left to free course, it's an enemy. You were destined for wellness and greatness! Created in Papa's likeness and image, a free moral agency (will) was established. Without that, love would not be a choice. Humanity's reason for being is to come into the family with a new identity, recognizing that in Christ, the curse has been reversed. Heaven's contents are heading toward planet earth. Little droplets have been experienced here and there. But they are nothing compared to the Wind and Rain of the near future. The Tide is rising. Before returning for My Bride, the unprecedented, unpredictable and unparalleled will manifest. The final word will be Mine. A sidenote here...I am cleansing America. Those in highest authority have My Anointing to move with the Spirit and get the job accomplished. Heaven's hand is richly upon President George Bush and Attorney General John Ashscoft. Make no mistake. Having themselves yielded to the King of Kings, they well represent Father's heart, and are in their respective positions because of Me, decisions from this end. The United States of America will continue growing and powerfully representing the Gospel. Pay no attention to the naysayers. I don't. We've already won! Prepare to leave the beach and launch out into the depths of Heaven's miraculous!"
