Priestly Garments of Light

Jesus beckons to us, “Beloved, I AM here, standing at the door of your heart.

This is My invitation… Come… into the Light of My Presence and encounter My heart.

As you lift up your spirit to Me, opening your heart’s door, the presence of My Spirit will come and fill you, and We will sup with you… bringing you into the deep chambers of My heart.

My radiant Bride, put on your beautiful garments — your priestly garments of Light!

Come… into My Dance of delight over you.

… up and into the Spirit and out from the confines of the soul.

Partake of Me…. Dwell in Me.

For I have prepared a place for you… close to my heart.

Learn to dwell here with Me.

In the Light of My Presence I have life-giving knowledge and true understanding to impart to you as you partake of Me.

Let My cherishing love strengthen your heart, and My words of Life nourish you continually.

Cultivate that deep place of worship and adoration that becomes both a well of spiritual refreshing, and incense that arises to the Throne.

Allow the love of your Beloved Bridegroom King to draw you ever nearer…. saturating your being, quieting your thoughts, renewing your mind, and satisfying every longing of your heart.

In both joy and sorrow I AM here, present to you My Beloved one. In the midst of heartache and adversity I will be your peace and your stay.

Do not fear the suffering of soul My love, as you choose this path of consecration to My heart.

For it is in the suffering that you receive My comfort and position yourself to receive My crown of overcoming.

As you yield to My love, and trust My faithfulness you allow the process to transform you into My image…

It is here that you are becoming My Beautiful Bride; adorned in an eternal Joy…a vessel of My very Life and Light.”

My heart responds, “LORD I’m coming… like a child… ready to receive… eager to respond to the sweetness and richness of Your Presence…

… and as Your Beloved Holy Spirit fills me, You make known to me the ways of life; You enrapture me … diffusing my soul with joy with and in Your presence. …

May my life pour back up to You in love and devotion… and then LORD, may others be nourished by the overflow of this great love… Amen”

Please see: Psalm 16,27; Acts 2:28; 2 Corinthians 1:3-4; John 1:1-14, Revelation 3:20.

Come Into The Light of His Presence

Spirit Life Comes Forth in Golden Moments…

Preparing to Encounter our Beloved LORD — in worship and then intercession

Before His Word comes to my spirit, I must quiet my soul, and make my spirit ready to meet with my Bridegroom King. I prepare my heart, and lift my voice in adoration, making a place for Him to come and fill my awareness as I enter into worship.

Our God is Spirit and must be worshipped in Spirit and in Truth…. We enter the Gates of His Presence through both the posture, and the expression of thanksgiving. We enter deeper into His heart, and Spirit through worship and praise.

Please see: John 4:24 and Psalm 100:1-5.

I Begin here…

Deep in worship, gently swaying and joining with the psalmist on a quiet, cold winter morning as sunlight washes through the large wall of windows…. radiating light throughout the room.

I feel the cool wooden floor underneath my feet, sunlight on my face, and a deep joy in my heart…

Then in a moment … the warmth of His Presence carries me up and away from my familiar surroundings, and into my spirit consciousness…

It is a Golden moment of the Eternal breaking through the temporal.

The deep awareness and responsiveness to The LORD’s Presence anchors me to the strength of His Peace, and the flow of His Spirit, and I am ready then to “hear” what the Beloved Holy Spirit will speak.

As His Light washes through my heart and my thoughts, it is an opportunity for any shadows in my thinking to be separated out, allowing His Grace to reorder, and replace with Truth and freedom…

I hear the invitation, “Let be and let Me…”

And in that moment I consciously “release” up to The LORD anything that seems to have an unyielding grip on my thought processes.

I ask forgiveness where necessary and then lay the weight of any mental or emotional burdens that are too great for me… at the feet of The LORD, allowing Him to carry them up and away.

I am trusting His process in every matter that concerns me, and also for those within “my embrace.”

Prayer Thoughts

O Lord,
Whatever is in
my heart to feel
my mind to know
my lips to speak
and my feet to go

May it be by Your Spirit,
in service and reliance upon Thee,
in harmony with Your eternal thoughts
of Love and Light…
in the illumination of Your Truth,
and the strength of Your might…

I am so deeply grateful
for the reality of Your Presence Father
as I am in this moment
of deep intertwining with You
spirit to Spirit…

May I trace my steps,
that others might follow
and so too, find the reality
of this place of refuge
comfort and embrace
in You,
through Jesus
our Lord…

Holy Spirit, thank You that as we lift our hearts up in gratitude and release, we enter into the reality of Your Presence.

Here, we allow You to begin to immediately “wash us with the water of the Word”, enlightening our hearts and our thoughts… then leading us in the Way of the Eternal.

As my thoughts come into alignment with Your Truth and Your Light LORD Jesus, I feel the strength of my spirit arise in You once again.

It is here that I take my place in You, and all that You have conferred upon me by Your great Grace.

I take hold of all that You have taken hold of for me in this day.

In this “place” of belonging and authority through Jesus,

I banish all fear, doubt and unbelief, and everything that would undermine my confidence in You, and my place in Your heart.

So too, I release this to any of your dear children who are within the “sound of my heart”.

Please see: Zechariah 4:6 , Hebrews 12:12-16; Hebrews 13:15, Philippians 3:12 Psalm 139: 23,24)

Prayer for others

With Paul, I pray: “…. to the God of our LORD Jesus Christ, The Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him,

By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones),

And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength.” (Ephesians 1:17-19)

Lord, if there are still yet “shadows” that linger and eclipse … in word, thought or deed, may we have the courage to let both healing and repentance have its full work, as the Truth of your Word shines it light on our thoughts.

May we each realize the value and worth of the life that we have been given by You. May we also embrace the preciousness of the people that You have brought into our lives.

Your highest goal for us in relationship is love woven in truth…May we recognize any of the elements and aspects in our thoughts and our ways that war against this precious bond of unity in the Spirit. (See Ephesians 4:1-4.)

Instead of exalting opinions over things that separate us, may we hold fast to love, humility and honor, preferring one another in love. (See Galatians 5:13-21.)

LORD, make us ready to be carriers of Your Light and Life… (See Colossians 3:12-17.)
