I Saw God Walking...

Last Wednesday evening during our life group (a Bible study group that meets through our church) we took time to pray and listen to what God was saying to us. This is part of the word I got through a vision during the listening prayer. I believe this is for myself and for all believers today:

I saw God walking in a large field of green grass. The winds of the Spirit were blowing and there were amazing colors swirling in and around the grass. God was standing far across the field from me and He was speaking and the winds of the Spirit brought His quiet voice to me.

"I want you to know my still quiet voice like the tinkling of a bell across a large field," the Lord said.

I felt like this was a vision that I should share with you as well. God wants intimacy with His children. He wants to have conversations with each of us. There are talents inside some of us that we have yet to discover. Others of us have talents that we need to stop hiding or holding back from the world.

I also saw blessings in heavenly places waiting to be released to people. I saw people standing near to God, but not hearing His voice and feeling lost. These blessings in heavenly places were right over their heads as if they needed to tap into the presence of God and take time to listen to what He is saying. He wants to encounter His children on earth in love. He wants to take us into heavenly places where these things in heaven might also be released. God wants to meet with us and show us who we really are in Him. He wants us to trust Him with our lives and lean upon Him. He wants to bless us with more gifts and talents, but we have to first give Him what we have.

Jesus said to Peter that whatever we bind in heaven will be bound on earth, and whatever we loose in heaven will be loosed on earth, (NIV 2011, www.biblegateway.com, Matthew 16:19). Was Jesus talking about us being in heavenly places? What is Jesus was talking about us bringing heaven down to earth? Can we live with our eyes focused on what is going on in 3rd heaven? Can we live with God's heart in mind?

YES! Yes! Yes! Yes!

One way that I personally tap into the presence of God is by listening to soaking or worship music. King David had it right: to worship the Lord in all that he did, to repent for things he did wrong, to keep after the heart of God. Worship music always helps bring me into His presence. It quiets my heart and mind to where I can listen and hear His voice.

I just discovered this new music group called The Throne Room Company. You can download their CD The Prayer on i-tunes or through their website: www.throneroomcompany.com. They have great soaking music based on Revelation 4! This is the passage where John the Beloved hears the words from heaven: "Come up here!"
