Come into my presence each day. Come and listen for my voice each day and seek me out as you come to pray. Come and let me bless you as you kneel to pray, seeking my voice each and every day. Let my heart be your heart. Let my voice minister to you today. Let me wash you in my presence as I comfort and guide you along the way. Let this day be shared with me as we go along together in victory. Nothing will harm you or touch you as you stay close to me. I am your protector and guide and I am here with you right by your side.
Come closer and listen to what I have to say regarding the Church in which you pray. I am cleansing my Church of her carnal ways and removing my lampstand from many churches where my presence is not welcome. They have shunned me and locked me out of their sanctuaries and I will not have it! I am their only saving grace, yet they kick me out of their meeting place. How in the world do they think they can execute my will upon the earth without my presence moving heaven and earth? Can they cause a windstorm to come into their meeting place or the fire from Heaven to fill them with all joy? I have so much in store for my children who bring me joy – yet those who shun me and throw me out the door, will be removed from my presence and know me no more.
The righteous shall live by their faith and not walk by sight. They live and breathe in the breath of God and they are filled with my Spirit all day long. This pleases me so that they seek me with their whole heart and they have loved me right from the start. How good and pleasing they are to me and my presence is welcome in their community. They dance and shout praises to the King of all kings, giving glory and honor with the praises they sing.
My Spirit will not put up with their rejection much longer. They cannot survive with out me. Living in a Church Age is a thing of the past and my Kingdom Age has come at last! My Kingdom will be filled with those who live for my presence – not those who live in the past. We must get beyond the here and now and look to my future where every knee will bow. My Church must see what tomorrow will bring and be ready and able to meet with their king. Gratitude and praise must be on their lips as they worship and enter into my gates. This is the way to enter into my glory; this is the way to recite my story. Praise and adoration are due to the King of all kings and the LORD of all lords, who sets the prisoners free and opens all doors.
17 For the Lord is the Spirit,
and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is freedom.
2 Corinthians 3:17 NLT
