Today’s Readings:
Ephesians 1
Revelation 21
Isaiah 9:1-7
Psalm 18
2 I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending out of the heavenly realm from the presence of God, like a pleasing bride that had been prepared for her husband, adorned for her wedding. 3 And I heard a thunderous voice from the throne, saying:
Revelation 21:2:-3
“Look! God’s tabernacle is with human beings.
And from now on he will tabernacle with them as their God.
Now God himself will have his home with them—
‘God-with-them’ will be their God!
The Lord says,
People are falling in love with me. People are beginning to fall deeply in love with Me. They are new lovers seeking My face. They are seeking Me with abandon and without a thought to what people think or if people are watching them. This is about them, their love for Me and My love for them.
3 Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts!
Ephesians 1:3
People are enraptured by My love — filled and overflowing with such a return of love and an overwhelming gratitude for My love that they don’t care what people see or think or say. All they care about is being with Me. All they care about is enjoying My Presence and feeling My Pleasure at their abandon, at their repentance, at their putting off old ways, at their total lack of self-consciousness, and at their newfound commitment to purity and holiness. This is what people do when they’re in love with Me. This is what you will see happening in the streets, in revival tents, in malls and many public places. This is not confined to church buildings or church people, but they are all invited.
19 His love broke open the way,
Psalm 18:19
and he brought me into a beautiful, broad place.
He rescued me—because his delight is in me!
This is a time of the people finding Me and being stunned with the realization of My wide open great love for them. You will see many star struck lovers being born as if for the first time. You will see many lives and hearts and homes restored because of encounters with My love. You will see many abrupt and otherwise inexplicable changes of direction, changes of mindset and changes of allegiance because of encounters with My love. You will see orphans find homes. You will see those who have been doing life on the fringes out on their own find family. You will see people who love me and who have been on solitary missions get supernatural upgrades and find partnership and deep abiding community. You will see many unrecognizable people that you knew before they encountered My love. And they will be beautiful and glorious and full of peace and thanksgiving, in their right minds with hearts wide open and hands ready to work, to help, to build with Me.
2 Those who walked in darkness
Isaiah 9:2-3
have seen a radiant light shining upon them.
They once lived in the shadows of death,
but now a glorious light has dawned!
3 Lord, you have multiplied the nation
and given them overwhelming joy!
They are ecstatic in your presence
and rejoice like those who bring in a great harvest
and those who divide up the spoils of victory!
These days of many encountering My love will be disorienting because the people you knew don’t exist as they once did. Their minds and hearts will have changed. And their lives will bear the fruit of My lovers. It will be such a beautiful and sanctified time. It will be messy, but it will be glorious. Prepare your heart for this time. It is upon us.
