A VISION OF THE THRONE ROOM
We were in Mexico
on Sunday, 10/19/14. Cantico Nuevo (in English "new song"),
Church was having their first service at their new location.
Interestingly, they were telling us that a couple of them had been praying for
40 days. One hour of silent prayer daily, for the church. They
needed to find a location of their own and just submitted that one hour to the
Lord. This was the 40th day, and also happened to be the opening day of
their new location. During the 40 days, the pastor was driving in Nogales with another
church member. They got stopped in traffic and as they were waiting for
traffic to clear, their eyes fixed on the second floor of a building and
noticed it was for rent. They were lead to check it out and here we were
opening at the location on the 40th day. Many miracles came together to
bring this opening. We were invited to attend the service that day.
Worship was grand! It was the culmination of so many
prayers. The team was excited and pressing in. The Pastor and
congregation had been led to prepare flags for worship. Each was
individually painted during the prior week and people of all ages carried those
flags into the service; glory, love, forgiveness, healing, miracles… It
was overwhelming. The service was in Spanish. Our spirits were so
involved in that service. I (Ann) was
contemplating about the miracle of the Holy Spirit, how even in a different
language for me, I was very much involved with the Holy Spirit language.
It was beautiful. Also, Elias and I have been in churches of a few
different nations these last years; American, Arabic, Messianic, Spanish.
We had one prayer meeting at Victory where we had multiple intercessors come
and pray in their language, including the ones mentioned and also, Vietnamese,
Filipino, African, and others. It always brings to mind the coat of
many colors. I was enjoying Jesus in my spirit, how awesome He is in the
Mexican church; so passionate and powerful and colorful.
I saw a picture in worship. It was of Jesus standing
before the Throne of God. He was covered in blood and looking completely
humble, like the Lamb that was slain. I was troubled at first because of
the blood, but it was very definitely in the Throne Room. It reminded me
of a scripture I had read and I started paging frantically through my Bible
during worship to find the scene.
I found it in Revelation, chapter 5:
vs 4 - And I began to weep greatly, because no one was found
worthy to open the book or to look into it:
vs 5 - and one of the elders said to me "Stop weeping:
behold the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has
overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals."
vs 6 - and I saw between the throne (with the four living
creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and
seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into the earth.
…"a Lamb standing, as if slain" (I had found it
and kept reading)
vs 8 - And when He had taken the book, the four living
creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one
a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
vs 9 - And they sang a "new song".
(I knew this was a word for this church. Their name is
"new song" and they are a church created and built on prayer).
vs 9 continues
"Worthy art Thou to take the book and break it
seals; for Thou was slain and didst purchase for God with Thy blood men from
every tribe and tongue and people and nation."
(Men, from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.)
I saw something that night that I had never seen. When
you read through the seals it is terrifying what will come as they are
opened. When I've read I've always thought why would heaven be weeping
because no one could open the seals. Why would heaven want the seals
opened? I saw that night, that the blood of Jesus was the solution.
Because of His blood, the church is His and we come from different tribes and
nations singing in all languages. As the church presses into worship it
will empower, through His blood the opening of the seals. The seals are
not judgement. They are descriptions of events. But the opening of
those seals will also bring in the greatest revival that has ever been on
earth. Jesus will stand before the Throne, with His church, worshiping,
powerfully and mightily and pushing the opening of the seals. You see, as
we come together in this new wave of Holy Spirit power, more and more souls
will come in. Heaven is not worried about the events of the seals.
Heaven knows what is to follow.
vs 10 - And Thou has made them to be a kingdom and priests
to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.
vs 13 - To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, be
blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.
Oh church, we are moving in unprecedented times.
