Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.” He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.” Genesis 28:16-17.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלוהים) says:
It grieves Me but most people do not converse with Me. People do not think of Me as someone they can fellowship with, but My delight is to be with you, so much so that My Spirit dwells in you. And that is for the communion of fellowship. You can talk with Me all the time and any time.
I call Abraham your father in the faith. What did Abraham do that was different than any other person at his time? Abraham held conversations with Me. He was interested in My input, and I was interested in hearing from him.
The LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed? For I have chosen him, so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice, so that the LORD may bring upon Abraham what He has spoken about him.” Genesis 18:17-19.
And I told Abimelech that Abraham was a prophet. If you read about the ones who were My prophets, such as Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, Elijah, Elisha, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and as many as they be, they all had one thing in common, they talked with Me. We had conversations. And then they would tell the people what was on My heart. They had hearts towards Me, that is, they were interested in Me above other people. They had drawn close to Me and found out I would talk with them. And the same is true for you. I want ALL to know Me from the least to the greatest.
And once they experienced My fellowship, they would rather die than lose it. Even to the point of going into the lion’s den whether than quitting his prayer time with Me.
I do nothing without revealing it first to My prophets because otherwise My plans are not released into the earth so I can perform them. I have given you dominion authority. I have no authority to act in your life if you do not give it to Me or someone who has responsibility for you prays for you. When I want to get the attention of people who are not listening to Me, I send them a prophet.
They rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, put your trust in the LORD your God and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and succeed.” 2 Chronicles 20:20.
And if they receive him, they too receive a prophet’s reward.
He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. Matthew 10:41.
And the ultimate expression of My love for you is that I sent you My Son to get your attention by taking all your sins on Himself and giving His life for you. In seeing Him, you see Me in action among you. And what did He do? He want about doing good (My glory expresses itself in goodness producing miracles, signs, and wonders of healing, provision, and peace) and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.
He is the only way to draw close to Me and stay close. He took away all that divides us, He fit your humanity into My divinity and My divinity into your humanity in one seamless life. In Him humanity and divinity are not in strife but are one.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Revelation 3:20-21.
Herein is the secret of divine conversation. Jesus visits you, do not miss your visitation, and knocks as He stands at the door of your heart, but you have to be listening. If anyone HEARS HIS VOICE and opens the door, He comes in to be just with you and will dine with you and you with Him. That is not one sided fellowship, that is communion, that is the dance of two companies.
And for you who have opened your heart and received Him and joined with Him in the Covenant meal of His body and blood are saved and born from above as a new creation in Christ and you have the Holy Spirit dwelling in your spirit. What does this mean to you? Do not be unaware of so great a salvation. Do not be like Jacob at Bethel.
Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.” He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.” Genesis 28:16-17.
He had to have a vision before he realized I was right there with him. Blessed are those that have not seen but have believed.
With Jesus as your Lord you can come to Me and Jesus baptizes you into the Holy Spirit. Jesus is your door to getting filled with Me, with My divine life, My Spirit. My promise to you. And you receive the promise of the Spirit, which is eternal life, by faith. And with My Spirit in you, you have access to My Kingdom, and more specifically to Me.
And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; 18 for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the [p]saints, and are of God’s household, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy [q]temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.
And it is to a very particular place I invite you to come to converse with Me with complete confidence. It is My very throne of grace, for in Christ I have already seated you there in Him, for when I raised Him from the dead, I raised you with Him as a new creation in Him, as My masterpiece, as My Sanctuary. You come to the throne with Jesus as your great High Priest and My Spirit within you and on you. Not the great white throne of judgment, but the throne where I am enthroned upon the cherubim of the mercy seat.
And how do you come to Me? With delight, with joy, with thanksgiving, but above all with complete confidence and freedom.
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:14-16.
There is a place called grace that you access by faith through the Spirit. It is the place where you are one with Me and I with you and My life, which is abundant life fills you and makes you radiant.
God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Hebrews 1:1-3.
And I seated you there with Him in the radiance of glory. And that is where you can abide, in the secret place. Jesus is the new and living way by which you enter with confidence, and by which you can remain. Each morning My mercies are new, and you can be receiving grace at every moment by staying attached to the Vine.
There is a lot more goes on there then entering, taking what is there for you, and leaving. It is the place where we share secrets. It is the place where I reveal My plans. It is the place wherein you hear Me and receive revelation, where you call to Me and I answer you and tell you great and mighty things you could not know.
It is the supernatural place from which the gifts of the Spirit usher forth naturally for it is there I give you a Word of Wisdom, a Word of Knowledge, Tongues and the interpretation of tongues. It is there I will send you out to witness and to do great exploits. Jesus called His disciples to be with Him and then to go out and preach the good news of grace, of salvation, and of the Kingdom, to heal the sick, to raise the dead, cleanse the lepers. Do not miss your visitation. Each day I will visit you with an instruction for that day. Do not ponder it in your head too long, your head will talk you out of reaching out with the gospel and with healing for others.
One of the greatest joys you can have is sharing who I am and who they can be in Jesus with others, especially those who know nothing about Me. You can bring them to the throne of grace with you to receive mercy and find grace just when they need it.
Stay close to Me night and day and I will never let you stray into darkness or danger. Close to Me the evil one cannot touch you and I am able to give you revelation light to protect you. The best place for you to be no matter where you are in the world is in the secret place of the throne of grace that you access by the Spirit through your spirit within. Inside your body, in your spirit, resides My Spirit and where My Spirit is, I am and Jesus is. We have made our abode with those who believe. My touch has made you holy like Me. Within you is the sacred fire of the burning bush, for the messenger in the fire on Horeb was the same one that appeared as a fourth man walking in the flames with Shadrack, Meshack, and Abednego.
I love you. I have given you many gifts but in them all I am giving you Myself. Jesus is in you, your hope of glory, and He is your great High Priest that was tempted in every way you are but never sinned. If you are being tempted to enter into sin in any area of your life, run to Jesus, He experienced the same, but He overcame. And He can show you how to overcome too and He will strengthen you. He is My gift to you. Come live in the light of My love. You can if you draw close. Come and talk with Me. It is not hard to talk with Love.
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says the LORD, “Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool. If you are willing and obey, you will eat the best of the land.” Isaiah 1:18-19.
