I was just sitting here praying, at my piano with my laptop in front of me, and the Lord said to me, “I will show you the future”…
I thought, “Great” so I lay down on the floor and just waited to receive whatever the Lord was going to show me – I find it better to lie down sometimes when the Lord speaks to me so I’m less distracted…
Then I saw like a dark door – kind of misty or dark grey (almost looked like thick clouds or something), nearly black and it was starting to open and then the Lord showed me Eternity and I was entering in – and He said, “Is there anything else you’d like to do?” and (it was like a still small Voice inside me when He said this) I just said, “No, I’m happy to go now”, but then I saw as I “entered in” through that door – I didn’t see what was inside – but what I did see in an instant was that Eternity was Knowing God…
I know scripture tells us this but I saw it – in that place all I wanted was to know Him – full stop…
I didn’t want to go all round the world and see it saved, I didn’t want to do mighty miracles, I didn’t want to see “this or that” – even when the “this or that” was awesome stuff and all to do with God – that was quite burdensome – but I saw that all I wanted was to know God – it was as if time stopped…
And I feel that time has still stopped – the Lord told me some things prior to this about my life – but my life is a vapour and is quickly passing away – to Him its like an instant in time and Eternity – the Quality of Life which I have entered into – is forever…
Nothing else matters…
He is Everything to me…
Nothing else matters…
I just had another experience with the Lord as I was putting our three younger children to bed – they’ve been sleeping with me in my prayer room over the last few days – it’s been quite fun – a bit of a change – a bit of “family bonding” and as they were heading to sleep after reading them a story I was worshipping the Lord on the piano and then I felt to invite the Lord (Father, Jesus & the Holy Spirit) to come near again along with all the angels as I had before a few weeks (maybe a month? I can’t remember) earlier…
As He came near His Presence was so strong that all I wanted was His Love – I had my laptop at home tonight as my youngest daughter had asked me to bring it home to help with her homework – and I just basked in His Love and His Acceptance of me – it was so peaceful – I didn’t want to know anything – like what would happen or when – I just wanted to know His Love – it was so beautiful – so peaceful – I couldn’t worry – I couldn’t fret – I couldn’t be concerned – this truly is Eternal Life – it is snowing/sleeting outside and the snow/sleet is forming on our back yard – I’m inside and warm and it feels like that in my spirit in the Lord – He is so good to us…
My wife made a nice meal and I came home after being out in the sleet on my bike protected by my wet weather gear and gumboots and felt – now that I think about it – protected (again) – this is what the Lord is trying to show me – just how protected I am – no matter what the circumstances are going on around me – His Protection is Beautiful – He is Beautiful – I sensed Him and He is altogether Beautiful – His Nature is altogether Beautiful – He is Beautiful in the truest meaning of the word – we have nothing to fear in His Presence when we are enjoying His Beauty and basking in His Love – this is what He wants for us – not to strive to gain acceptance when He has already accepted us in Christ – in His Blood – Oh the joy of our acceptance – Oh the joy of our rest – He is Altogether Lovely as the song says – I love You Jesus – You are pure and undefiled and separate from sinners but so accessible through the Blood, my new self – my whole being – seeks You and seeks intimacy with You my God – I love You Jesus – You are Everything to me… 🙂
