Grace

My morning discussion with my friend was all about....grace today. I am in awe that this message would come as it did today. My "hearing" today was this:

Grace is so much more than undeserved favour. When we go to receive our name on the white stone, it is because Grace has taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relieved. There is so much more to grace than being forgiven. Grace moves us forward. It keeps us from being stuck or always looking back. It is the power of grace that gives us our inheritance, dominion, authority...power, honor, glory...strength, courage, boldness.

Mercy allows us to lift our heads when our hearts have failed. It is grace that allows us to see well past our sin and into the Glory he has called us to. The call of who we are. The call that will allow us to receive that white stone with our names written on it because we have walked our lives that have allowed us to be who is written on that stone.

The picture I see this morning is a man who is weeping with his head hung low over the things that he has done. A hand with the word mercy written on it, reaches out and lifts the man's chin. The tears are wiped away. He can now see clearly. In the distance, he looks forward to a mountain with the name destiny written in the clouds above it. He stands and begins to walk towards that mountain. His old self calls back to him begging him to stay, but he is called forward. He is compelled to go. He leaves the old man behind him. He begins to run like he has never run before...never to return.

I dreamt that I saw a large ribbon of water flowing close to my head to the right and as I turned my head to the right I could see this clear water flowing past me as if suspended in the air. The water started to change and get thick as if a gelatin was added to it and as I watched it flowing out before me and then to the left. I turned my head to the left and looked and I could see a blue sea with waves on it. I saw Jesus in the distance and Peter was walking to Jesus. I could see him walking over the waves to Jesus. The water was not calm; it even looked a bit stormy. Then my eyes came back to the stream of water to my right and I heard Jesus say to me, “This is Grace. This is the Grace that enabled Peter to walk on water.”

And then as I was watching the stream of water it turned hard, yet perfectly clear with crackles in it and it became a long continues extended cube of crystal. No longer fluid but squared, in a continued long beam and it was like clear rock.

As I was waking up, I felt that this was Grace that would be extended to those who have Christ living in them and that His Grace would be given to us to do things we’ve never done before.
My prayers for that day and several days after that were, “Lord help me to walk on water” and every time I prayed that, it was as a lift of faith and encouragement to my soul.

Is.61 That the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance has dawned that the world would see the splendours of God and we would start seeing a distinction between the righteous and the unjust. The latter would begin to envy the righteous and begin to seek God and His righteousness. The church would experience the splendours and the vengeance will be directed at those things that Satan has sent to hinder us in our walk. His judgment, anger, thunder and lightning are not directed at us but at that which binds us and hinders us. His vengeance is thus not against flesh and blood but against that which hinders used and has caused us to fall so far from our original perfection.

Is. 35 God would cause His church to walk in Holiness that is from Him. It would be the emergence of his Bride. This Holiness would not be another mask but as a result of the Holy Spirit’s sanctification work and the Bride would attain to that Highway of Holiness where they cannot be touched/attacked. They would need this, as they will be required to do mighty exploits for God hitherto unseen on the earth. Eph 4 says we have been given the deposit of the Holy Spirit as an earnest or guarantee of the final payment of the redemption price. That final payment is about to be released and will see His Bride walking in the fullness of His victory on the cross and resurrection. We will see the emergence of the Royal Priesthood serving the Father not just as Lord but now also as King in our lives. This will perhaps require a new level of service and surrender? The bride will truly be called out of darkness and into His Light.

I repeatedly find myself pleading with God “to glorify Himself in me” just like Jesus prayed in the garden and to teach me to cherish His glory and presence above all else especially in the days to come when His splendours are to be displayed.

Zec 12:10 And I will pour on the house of David, and on the people of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of prayers. And they shall look on Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be bitter over Him, as the bitterness over the first-born

Zec 13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David, and to the people of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.

Zec 13:2 And it shall be in that day, says Jehovah of Hosts, I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall be remembered no more. And also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

The capstone has been laid in place in the Spiritual/heavenlies and the way is prepared for the Bride to enter into a new dimension of relationship (Holy of Holies?)

We are about to see the Holy Spirit move in a new dimension and as the Spirit of Grace and as I am he who sanctifies thee.

Zec 4:6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the Word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says Jehovah of Hosts.
Zec 4:7 Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain; and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings, Grace! Grace to it!

I have a sense that God is returning to His church in a new dimension. We have tried to walk in purity and holiness. I know in my own life I have declared myself bankrupt and unable to fulfill His command to be holy as He is holy. The Holy Spirit will come and cleanse with a fresh baptism of fire and power to cleanse us of sin and impurity so that we can attain to the Highway of Holiness not because of our effort or clean living but because of the work of Grace by the Spirit of God.

I sensed that we have crossed the Jordan and that a new era has dawned. I saw the Holy Mountain of God and an Eagle crying in the early hours of the morning and from cracks and caves in the mountain I saw men of God emerged. Men/women of God who have been hidden and prepared for His Day – equipped to call the Body of Christ to a new walk and to call His Bride to emerge and begin to prepare herself

A Poem I wrote:

Open your heart to Jesus,
Give Him all your worries, all your pain;
Walk in the light that His Spirit gives you,
Honour the Lord, bless His Name!

For His grace will never fail to keep you,
You are His, let your heart be at peace;
Child of God don't you be discouraged or in fear,
Our Lord has conquered the enemy.

So praise His Name with every breath you take,
And stand firm in the truth of His Word.
Draw close to Him; He will shroud you with love;
May His hope and joy fill your day.

"And God is able to make all grace abound to you so that in all things at all times having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. He has scattered abroad His gifts to the poor, His righteousness endures forever" [2 Cor. 9:8-9] For the past two weeks the Lord has led me to "hang on" to this word and confess it daily, then suddenly I get introduced to this website! I now believe that great things are in store for all who will take the Consecration period seriously. I feel in my spirit that this time there will be "eye-has-not-seen-ear-not-heard" testimonies at the end of this wonderful time the Lord has set aside.

As I talked with a friend recently, she mentioned that God had spoken to her about a "window of grace". I saw a vision relating to “a window of grace” opening,

I saw someone rising very early in the morning, before the sun rose and they opened their window. As they opened their window a blast of refreshing air blew upon them to help to awaken them from their slumber. They remained at the open window allowing this fresh wind to fully awaken them and fully refresh them. Then the sun began to rise, birds began to sing announcing the sun's rising. Then the window turned into a door that they could pass through into the new day.
