Can you imagine the surprise and joy the apostle’s and all who were with them felt when they realized Jesus was not “gone” but was now with them in spirit? Now, He was everywhere, literally! And, not just His eyes on them, but now He was IN THEM. And how? By the degree they believed and acted upon that belief! AKA FAITH!
Family, Jesus is here and, here NOW! His presence is ever dwelling amongst us. It wants to manifest and break forth from heaven to earth! Many of us have been asking how? It happens first by praise and warship. It happens by stirring up the gifts within us. The gifts He put there. It happens by stepping out in faith and acting on ways in our hearts we know to be true but we have have been bound by fear and shame from to stepping into it!
We know if we never step into it, we will not have the fullness of God dwelling and manifesting through us!!
Well, it is time we dare to believe and trust in the unseen. We must- as they have shown the way in the upper room- present ourselves as a living sacrifice that we may be endued with power to help us to transform our lives in ways we have struggled to until now! Ways such as attitudes, habits, addictions, fear based mental attacks like anxiety and depression, and even physical ailments. We can, should, and will have deliverance from these things Jesus came to do so- He showed and promised us!
Yes, we are the Kings Kids, but He wants us to see the way there is by becoming His Sons Bride! The way is to be spiritually mature and be true heirs of His salvation just like Jesus. And as heirs, not just recipients or devotees, but those who practice and dispense it. We must and will become more than worldly conquerors but we will become as He is, DELIVERERS! Instead of looking at the world around us and asking why me, but looking at the world around us and seeing our potential, that is God inside us; a willing vessel hollowed out to His shape and willing to be inhabited by His presence- ENTHRONED!
Which brings us here, now!
Do you set a house on one brick or block as a foundation?! No. You set up a course of them and you choose the best blocks to handle the load you plan to build and the more you place down, the more you can build on that foundation.
Likewise we as His throne! The more we come together the larger His throne can be! If one man understands that and kneels, seeks, and through perfect heartedness provides Christ a place to be seated inside Him, that man can do a lot. But what if two people did that together? Three? Four? More and more? Would it not become as an upper room experience? Yes, it would!
We know God is doing something great here at the Barn! Something great in us all! We know there is a purpose. And yet here we are each asking inside what is the next step? And I tell you the next step is- as a family- to seek to be enthroned upon by Him ... TOGETHER!!
How?!
When we come together let us humbly, thirstily, and aggressively seek His presence and will to be done then at that moment, a great assembly of unity and likemindedness. We can only do this while TOGETHER! So let us make the most of these moments. If we do then His presence will descend upon us and we will be transformed- transfigured even- and people will ask why are you glowing. And we will do the works our Father does. We will rule over the darkness that tries to hide inside us and the world around us. Our homes, relationships, marriages, and very lives will be transformed!
Then, then, we will see these miracles and I’m sure other more physical miracles. We must start with that which is most important... HIM, the Fathers heart, through Christ Jesus! And that is done by the enthroning experience. That is what the The Barn has been about from the very beginning; that is the target/goal! Let us weep before the altar, TOGETHER! Knocking until that door is answered by our dearest beloved Jesus and then with Him we will enter in and have all we could imagine!
To God be the glory and His Kingdom reign forever!
