The Sound of a Rushing, Mighty Wind!
Recently while in prayer, I heard a
sound like that of a rushing, mighty
wind and I saw flashes of bright light
coming down from heaven and hitting
churches. I believe we are going to move
into a time unlike what the church has
ever experienced before in history. God
is looking for those who are seeking Him
in faith and who are being a faithful
people to whom He can pour out His
double anointing. "For the eyes of the
LORD run to and fro throughout the whole
earth, to show Himself strong on behalf
of those whose heart is loyal to Him" (2
Chron. 16:9). God will pour, fill and
overflow His living, strong waters into
readied hearts from His
fountain of life. He is going to
establish His authority and glory in and
through His people and they will do the
promised greater works! "...He that
believeth on Me, the works that I do
shall he do also, and greater works than
these shall he do..." (John 14:12).
As we behold (observe, watch, see,
consider) Him in our prayer closets and
in our gatherings, He will reveal
Himself and what He is about to do!
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
If any hear My voice and open the door,
I shall come in and sup (commune) with
him and He with me. To him that
overcometh will I grant to sit with me
in my throne, even as I overcame, and am
sat down with my Father in His throne.
After this I looked and behold a door
was opened in heaven and the first voice
which I heard was as it were of a
trumpet talking with me which said, Come
up hither, and I will shew thee things
which must be hearafter. And immediately
I was in the spirit and behold, a throne
was set in heaven and One sat on the
throne..." (Rev. 3:20-22; 4:1-2). John
was a servant of His presence and he
went on to receive many revelations and
wrote the
book of Revelation.
Searching the Lord out is like searching
for hidden treasures, but Jesus tells us
to whom He will reveal Himself:
o
"...shall I hide from Abraham what I am
about to do" (Gen.18:17)?
o God
is looking for those disciples who are
serious about following Him
(Matt.10:13-16, 35-36; Mark 4:34).
o
Mary sat at Jesus feet and heard
(spiritual receptivity) His Word" (Luke
10:39).
o
"The secret of the Lord is with them
that fear Him" (Ps.25:14).
o
"It is the glory of God to conceal a
thing, but the honor of kings is to
search out a matter" (Prov. 25:2).
o
"The
secret things belong unto the
Lord, but those things which are
revealed belong unto us and to our
children forever that we may do all the
works of this law" (Deut.29:29).
o
"He revealeth the deep and secret
things. He knoweth what is in the
darkness and the light dwelleth with
Him" (Dan.2:22).
o
"...for all things I have heard of my
Father, I made known unto you" (John
15:15b).
o
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of
man, the things which God hath prepared
for them that love Him. But God hath
revealed them unto us by His Spirit; for
the Spirit searches all things, yea, the
deep things of God" (1
Cor.2:9-10).
o
"Having made known the mystery of His
will..." (Eph.1:9).
o
"Bring ye all the tithes into the
storehouse, that there may be meat in
mine house and prove (test) Me now
herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I
will not open for you the windows
(threshold) of heaven (abode of God) and
pour you out a blessing, that there
shall not be room enough to receive it"
(Mal.3:10).
o
"Surely the Lord God will do nothing,
but He revealeth His secret unto His
servants the prophets" (Amos 3:7).
o
"...that you might be filled with all
the fullness of God..." (Eph.3:16-21).
o
"He that hath My commandments and
keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me,
and he that loveth me shall be loved by
My Father, and I will love him and will
manifest Myself to him" (John 14:21).
o
"...if any man hear My voice and open
the door, I will come in to Him and will
sup (commune) with him and he with Me"
(Rev.3:20).
o
God calls us to oneness in Him. "That
they all may be one..."; "...that they
may behold My glory which thou hast
given Me..." (John 17:21, 24). His
church is becoming one church; Jesus is
coming again for His bride (singular!).
In these scriptures are many promises to
receive His revelation, but they are
conditional upon our response of
obedience to His commands, as we trust
in His grace, such as: be a disciple not
just a follower of Jesus, give your
tithes into the storehouse, love God and
love others, fear God, sit at His feet,
love that you might be filled with all
the fullness of God, keep His
commandments and He will manifest
Himself, hear His voice and open the
door, to him that overcomes..., and have
unity with God and others.
His church (those who are one with
Father and with each other), will arise
in the power and in the Spirit of
Elijah! We will arise as a company of
people, a people in one spirit, His
Spirit! God's cry will come forth from
His people in a powerful prayer that
will call down His presence, because we
will have ears to hear and eyes to see
what the Spirit would say to the church.
"But blessed are your eyes for they see,
and your ears for they hear" (Matthew
13:15, 16). Jesus presented the truth on
a take-it-or-leave-it basis: "He who has
ears to ..."! Are we about to soon
experience the same thing the early
church did on the day of
Pentecost? Will He appear as a
rushing, mighty wind in our midst
bringing in the "new" day of the Lord as
we seek Him together in
one accord?
