Tipping the Censor in Heaven
While in worship Sunday at Higher Praise, I saw a huge door and it was opened to a great harvest field and the Lord said, if you will get past the fear of losing what you had in your past and walk through this door,I will close it behind you but you must look on the fields for they are ripe unto harvest. He said, “I have healed you of your idols of the past. Do not take them back up but freely I have given now freely give!”
Then the Lord showed me a vial last night in worship. The vial was oil and He was pouring it out on His people especially His intercessors. He said it was the oil of joy for the Spirit of heaviness. He said that we need this outpouring of Joy to be able to stand in this hour! He also said that as we have been praying that the vials of our prayers and tears were being poured out upon the earth and we should not be afraid of what we will begin to see. He said that there will be thunders and lightnings and earthquakes, and sounds but that this is in answer to our prayers. He said that we should pray for the harvest and that we should pray that when we see these things that people will turn to the Lord and not reject Him.
Glory to God! It is Harvest Time. He also said through Wade Urban that we were in a time of preparation for the great harvest. Connie Urban had a word about our tears being precious before the Lord. She gave this scripture in Psalms that the Lord had given her.
“You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book? When I cry out to You, Then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God is for me” Psalms 56:8 (NKJV).
God is pouring out the feeling of other’s infirmities on us right now and there has been a grieving and a pouring out of your tears as Connie stated and as He showed me these tears are tipping the censor of the Angel who is pouring out these prayers upon the earth. God is truly answering our prayers right now. So do not be afraid of the shaking and the rumbling that is going on but rather rejoice in what God is doing and pray for the harvest to come in!
Glory to God!

Mark 10:17-31
Amplified Bible (AMP)
17 And as He was setting out on His journey, a man ran up and knelt before Him and asked Him, Teacher, [You are [a]essentially and perfectly [b]morally] good, what must I do to inherit eternal life [that is, [c]to partake of eternal salvation in the Messiah’s kingdom]?
18 And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me [[d]essentially and perfectly [e]morally] good? There is no one [[f]essentially and perfectly [g]morally] good—except God alone.
19 You know the commandments: Do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.
20 And he replied to Him, Teacher, I have carefully guarded and observed all these and taken care not to violate them from my boyhood.
21 And Jesus, looking upon him, loved him, and He said to him, You lack one thing; go and sell all you have and give [the money] to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come [and] accompany Me [[h]walking the same road that I walk].
22 At that saying the man’s countenance fell and was gloomy, and he went away grieved and sorrowing, for he was holding great possessions.
23 And Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, With what difficulty will those who possess wealth and [i]keep on holding it enter the kingdom of God!
24 And the disciples were amazed and bewildered and perplexed at His words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is [j]for those who trust (place their confidence, their sense of safety) in riches to enter the kingdom of God!
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
26 And they were shocked and exceedingly astonished, and said to Him and [k]to one another, Then who can be saved?
27 Jesus glanced around at them and said, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.
28 Peter started to say to Him, Behold, we have [l]yielded up and abandoned everything [once and for all and [m]joined You as Your disciples, siding with Your party] and accompanied You [[n]walking the same road that You walk].
29 Jesus said, Truly I tell you, there is no one who has given up and left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for My sake and for the Gospel’s
30 Who will not receive a hundred times as much now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.
31 But many [who are now] first will be last [then], and many [who are now] last will be first [then].
