WHEN HEAVEN TOUCHES EARTH
We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete. (I John 1:3,4)
All Holy Week, I felt the weight of its true meaning and the cost to knowing God. This has caused such a sincere gratitude within my spirit. Jesus our redeemer who paid the ultimate cost and penalty brought me to tears many times. (Romans 5; Ephesians 2:8–9)
My tears are a mere reflection really on how our Heavenly Father sent the Lord Jesus as a man to make atonement for our sins to reconcile us to Him.
Our amazing Heavenly Father realized our need —and sent his son, Jesus came to bring us to Himself!
It’s simple really, it’s through JESUS that we are enabled to put the deeds of our flesh to death.
What a beautiful picture Jesus is to all of us —thank you Jesus!
As I worship Jesus, I gain a glimpse of the magnitude of the prevailing winds [Holy Spirit] that comes to prepare us for the indwelling of the Fullness of Christ. “And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.” Acts 2:2
I feel led to share a revelation of my own in hopes of uncovering some of the mysteries you may have been given, but haven’t yet understood them!
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21: 1-4
Today before stepping out of bed, I began my day with a prayer a “Jesus’ Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven”.
This simple prayer is learning how to live by the Life of Jesus. We do this by calling on the Lord for His help as soon as we awaken in the morning. Then continually, throughout the day and night, we are to talk to the Lord Jesus; ask for His help; thank Him for the solutions to our problems He provides. Christ is to be our constant companion, our best friend. And we start by seeking Him in our daily routines.
My Vision:
I am sitting on sea shore with Jesus at my side. It’s a place I find myself visiting more and more. I pause my thoughts to hear the ocean symphony with birds calling high above the beach. I live in the mountains so I welcome the sounds. It’s a sound of unmistakable peace as the waves rush over the sand time and time again. I freeze my senses and turn to Jesus who is glowing in the early morning light and ask, “Why do we keep coming here.”
He replies, “This is a place of reflection within your spirit. Heaven touches earth when you sit here with me. The waves of the ocean rush over every thought like saltwater refines a pearl.”
In a brief second, I am taken to the beginning of my spiritual journey almost 2 decades ago.
The sun is setting and the sky is burning in colors of red and orange. I am standing on a cliff’s edge miles above an enormous canyon desert and I am not alone. There beside me stands a massive lion with a beautiful mane. If you are familiar with “Aslan” in the Chronicles of Narnia, he is the image of my lion who stood beside me. I have a leather satchel over my shoulder and a knife on my belt while I grasp a long wooden spear. My clothing is a cross between a warrior and Robin Hood not yet tattered but worn in confidence. My lion roars as we set out into the desert wilderness.
This vision came during a major crossroad filled with grief as my mother had just died. I was completely unaware that this was my awakening and entrance to the spirit realm.
Today, I know differently. This is a picture of myself, a true part of who God made me to be. It took several years of trekking in that dry desert to realize that warrior vision was my spirit’s awakening! And make no mistake it took many more years of slaying giants before my spirit and soul found unity in Christ!
Each of us have a spiritual warrior waiting to be awakened.
Have you awakened yours?
It can be a lonely trek that requires our full attention! However, this is the season my friends! God has granted it!
Warning, a religious spirit will not receive what I shared here because it carries a mindset of rules and regulations. It’s the barrier for true spiritual growth and often manifests as judgment. If you feel a witness right now, seek The Lord! Jesus will show you how to renounce this spirit!
Our deliverance begins when we recognize our situation. It’s the crossing of the Brook of Zered.
Also known as a religious spirit working within one’s mind. Today this can be seen by listening to John MacArther, Justin Peters. Both are amazing biblical scholars and teachers, but lack unity in their spirit. I do not deny that they both love God, but they are not born from above. The Bible refers to them as modern day Pharisees. My statement may seem a bit harsh, but the truth isn’t always easy to discern and it requires the help of the Holy Spirit.
The great Day of Atonement, of reconciliation to God, has begun in our time in our day! Hallelujah!
It starts today. It requires confession of our sins, turning away from them diligently. As far as I know, the work of reconciliation will continue forever—throughout the endless ages to come. This is necessary because individuals, having wills of their own, may at any time decide they wish to follow their own wills rather than that of Christ.
But let us look at the big picture, God is enlarging Himself through Jesus Christ so He can contact, through His priesthood, all of the people whom He has created.
Not only are we saved by the death of the Son, but also by His Life.
In view of the difficult days ahead, we must learn to live by the Life of the Lord Jesus. We must partake of Christ continually if we are to please God. We partake of Christ as we live in daily communion with Him, renouncing the enemy and turning away from our sin.
It will not be enough to say we have accepted Christ and believe in Christ. We must be crucified and alive with Him if we are to survive and help others to survive.
The Lord Jesus is alive. He does not hang on a cross - He has been redeemed and those born again from above are also redeemed!
You will discover that as you enter His Life. Confess your sins when they are pointed out to you, and ask Jesus to help you turn away from them for eternity. Learning to quickly repent when we are in error is the cornerstone to living with Jesus.
The Father loves you more than you love Him. He and His Son would like very much for you to return their love by walking in Their Presence at all times.
This is where many people get stuck—it requires a change in our mindset and maybe even our knowledge of who God is!
Without change we never experience Christ’s surpassing joy and power either. Please realize that the behavior God is asking you to release is keeping you from an intimate relationship with God!(Proverbs 16:25)(Psalm 16:11).
As I was writing this message, I felt in my spirit, God has shown many what’s preventing your progress, but maybe you fear the sacrifice is too great! This is deception and the enemies best weapon.
A couple year ago, I wrote about how emotions are like the caprice winds. — Never allowing me to rest in the Lord. If you can’t read God’s word or struggle with to enter your war room with Christ, read my post! The struggle is part of each one’s journey! You must learn to overcome the enemy keeping you from The Lord.
Don’t stay trapped in your old, unchanged and even religious ways. Make the choice to move forward to follow Jesus in the spirit realm. I promise, He’s absolutely worth it and He has so many treasures waiting for you to discover!
Let us pray, Lord, I truly desire the fullness of an intimate relationship with You. Please free me from soulish emotions and help me to be brave by following your Son Jesus to the cross. Amen.
Blessings,

As I was putting my final touches on this post, a magnificent storm broke out filling the sky with bolts of fierce lightning filling the entire skyline pinks and purple blasts! A true symbolism of God’s powerful nature. We serve an AWESOME GOD!
