An Open Vision

I’m receiving quite a lot about The Presence of God lately.

It is, I believe, a foretaste of that which is coming very soon — a warning, if you will — to be prepared!

I got my first inkling a couple of days ago watching a Sunday gathering online. There was an air of expectancy and I felt, strangely, that tears weren’t far distant.

Again, this morning, watching a Facebook video, I was actually moved to a few tears. And right now, my whole being is almost tingling in excited anticipation of that which is beginning to manifest in our meetings.
I slip into an Open Vision.

I hear someone blow the Shofar — not a recognisable specific sound — but more a long, almost welcoming blast.

I listen closely to it all. I hear the shuffle of feet, the sound of the wind, the rustle of Angel’s wings.

I’ve heard all these sounds before — and they’re instantly recognisable to me.

As I listen closely, I hear what I’m waiting for — I hear The Holy Spirit speaking. Tears are instantly ready to flow.

“It’s My Presence!” said The LORD, “As I come into your presence, Angels prepare to do My bidding.

I bring a stillness with Me that is loaded with your anticipation.

Some seem to see ‘smoke’, or mist, as I enter. Others cannot stand but can only prostrate themselves before Me, often weeping at their own unworthiness, even at their sinfulness.”

He pauses to let me remember this moment. His Presence literally fills the place. I need to join those prostrated before Him.

There is no fear, no sound other than the gentle weeping of those present.

“Now I AM free to do My Work among you!” says The LORD, and instantly the Angels come to readiness, as if anticipating their next orders.

In this wonderful warm atmosphere. People start to cry out. One is healed. One is freed from sin. Another is just calling out, “Thank you, LORD!”

Miracles break out in all corners of the room — Healings, Forgiveness, Deliverance — all sorts.

Tears flow copiously. Hearts and voices are praising The LORD. Some know they’ve been Healed, Forgiven, or Delivered — often all three — while others have received Visions, Gifts, and Mantles.

The atmosphere is Holy, with a holiness that only The Presence of The LORD can bring.

Slowly, The Presence lifts, as The Holy Spirit leaves as gently as He arrived.

I am left wondering — was that real, was it an Open Vision.

I feel my face glowing gently — it was totally real to me. I was in The Presence of The Almighty — The Creator of all things was here with me for a few moments, that felt like hours.

I’ve been there before, many times, but not so many times recently.

It’s a place I love, where I can worship Him totally abandoned to the world — only wanting more of Him.

This is the presence of God that we must expect every time we meet with Him — on our own — in twos or threes — in meetings of few or thousands.

Expect His Presence! Whenever — wherever!

Feeling humbled and oh so privileged…..
