Our Lord Jesus Christ speaks prophecy to his church:
Here we stand my brethren at the door to our future. The Church of Grace is a mighty force and can move mountains when we all stand together. I am calling all of my faithful brothers and sisters to stand and shout, for victory is at hand.
If you could see what is awaiting you on the other side of this door – you would quickly open it and walk through. You would not pack your bags nor plan each detail, nor need a detailed itinerary, but you would run into your future with joy. Let your past fall away my people. Let the hurts and failures go! We are moving quickly now and you must travel light and free to do all I am asking. Come with me now and receive my joy in all you do.
Run forward with great anticipation of fulfilling your calling in the position I have called you to in my Body. I am leading you and will reveal each step as you come unto me and ask. As your Lord I lead you throughout each day. I am ever present in your spirit and will answer how and what you may do. Follow after righteousness and listen to my voice. Be partakers of my joy and herald forth the truth of my deliverance to all. For there are many thousands at the door to your future. Many thousands of hearts are waiting for my love and comfort in these dark days.
Speak of me to break down those doors of resistance and go forth with joy. Speak health and healing and answers of deliverance. Do not allow them to shut you down nor to close the door when you speak, but press in and get to their true need. What is really stopping them from receiving me as Lord and why are they refusing or withholding their heart from me? Ask them to be honest and open their hearts. Show them my love and win them to our army of light. Care not for the things of this world, but focus on my leading today. Do not be distracted nor dissuaded. Run to serve, run to rescue, run to deliver all I send you to.

John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Colossians 4:3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
Revelation 3:8a I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it:
Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
A Word of Encouragement
A door is open and our Lord Jesus Christ is calling. He is calling us to service in his glorious Body and calling others to receive him into their heart. Will we run through the door with joy, or wait until we have the full itinerary in hand with all of our bags carefully packed? Yes, it is a challenging question and an opportunity. What did Abram think when He was called to go into a land He did not know and to be the father of many nations even though he was without children at 100 years old! Gen. 15:1-7. He chose to believe God’s promises, to go forward and take action. He was given a new name – Abraham, and a son of his own – Isaac, and much land as an inheritance. But what if he had not taken the opportunity? He did obey, and in his lineage were King David and the Christ. What great victories are we called to?
An Action Item
Let’s choose to walk through the doors of opportunity that Christ is placing before us. Let’s press in and get to the heart of each person we have the privilege to speak to. Let’s show them the love of Christ within us and win them to our army of light. Let’s shout our victory!
Victories and Blessings
We have just completed our 6th month since God established LIVING WORD. It is a victory to mark milestones in the Body of Christ and to celebrate with thanksgiving to God. Let’s praise Him for His goodness and grace upon this work and continue in prayer for His will to be done as we serve in Christ.
Please share some of your victories, blessings and prayer requests so others can rejoice and believe with you.
