……. behold, a door standing open
in heaven! And the first voice which I had heard addressing me like [the
calling of] a war trumpet said, Come up here, and I will show you what must
take place in the future. [Revelation 4:1] AMP
So much is happening in the world and around us as the battle
intensifies. All this year God has been saying “Come up here – HIGHER!” He is
saying this to us all, because He wants to share His strategies for the times
that are coming upon us.
That we would be ones like eagles soaring up into His presence. As an eagle
soars on the thermals of a storm, so we can do this by facing the storms,
soaring on the thermals of His love and power, in His strength. In that secret
place of complete rest with our Lord Yahovah, He gives us all we need.
As He expands within us and dispels all the things of this world, it
fades in the brightness of His love. His peace and strength flood our hearts
and our minds, all anxieties and fears have to flee away. The door stands wide
open for us to be taken up into the heavenly realms. As we overcome we step
into our true inheritance.
Why will you tarry here in darkness,
Why will you wander, sad at heart,
When Jesus has bidden you, “Rise up,
My love, and come with Me apart?”
By Frances Metcalfe ‘from the book
Ladies of Gold
In times past some were chosen to see into the realm of heaven, Jacob
saw a ladder with angels ascending and descending; Isaiah saw the King of Glory
seated on His throne and His robe filled the temple; John saw Jesus in His
glory and fell down to the ground at the sublime glorious sight of the man who
on earth had been his best friend.
In His grace He has opened that door wide to us. As we encounter the God
of the seen and unseen realms, we are ‘raptured’ into the heavenlies. There we
can see and commune with Jesus and angels. We see beyond the veil and we are
changed into His likeness.
He wants us to realise all He has established for us through His son
Jesus Christ since before the foundation of the earth. He wants to bring us
into full unity with Himself.
Perfect
submission, perfect delight,
Visions of
rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels
descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy,
whispers of love.
Blessed Assurance by Fanny J.

Amen precious Michele! How privileged are we to live at such a time as this!
In going higher, I've realised that I must keep my eyes and heart completely focussed on Him, lest I look down towards the earth and become afraid . Great heights in God requires greater faith to "walk" in that level of anointing , but oh the raptures of delight , joy , peace , assurance , freedom and wholeness that come from being in that special place with Him as we look deeper into His face and get taken higher in The Spirit !! .....what a Mighty Glorious Beautiful King we serve !!
Michele-love this post! You are a sweet blessing to the body of Christ. I look forward to someday coming back to His Fragrance with Kathie Walters. Much love, Pastor Paula Douglas in the Carolinas.
Great word Michelle! 'They shall mount up on wings as eagles'. We need to live in the spirit, above the clutter of the world.
Amen! And so needed to be read...
Such encouragement to rest and make time to the king of kings :)
