The Light of the Day For Spiritual Ministry and Revival

 

Several years ago as I began to pray one morning, I meditated on the scripture that says, "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise." While meditating on that scripture, the scripture came to my mind that says, "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before his presence with singing..." As I meditated on the order of these two passages, I thought about his gates and his courts. I perceived the gates and the courts before his presence, so I began to thank the Lord for as many things that I could think of. Then I began to praise the Lord for who he is, what he is, and for other reasons. As I praised him, I perceived that he is so unfathomable. The total of my comprehensibility does not even grasp a minute amount of his awesomeness. I thought about the song, "How Great Thou Art." A song came into my heart, and I began to sing it. As I did, I perceived myself entering into his presence. After praying, I came to my office and waited to see if the Lord would speak to me. This is what I heard in my hearing,

Many struggle to gain entrance into what you have found. Many wise and prudent people have asked and have not received. Many wise and successful individuals have sought it but have not found it. Many wise and rich people have knocked but have not been able to find this open door, yet I have allowed you to enter into the door of faith, and walk into my presence of royalty. My scepter has been stretched forth to those who come by my blood and my sacrifice; even those who enter into the door of my blood and the door of my sacrifice, must leave self-righteousness outside. I will not accept the filthy rags of self-righteousness in the presence of holiness. The garment of righteousness is the only robe that is accepted here at the throne of grace.

I have brought you before my throne as a son. You have sat at the gate long enough. Arise from the gate of praise, and come to the table of bread and wine. I have poured the refreshing of the last days for the church. Come and eat so that you may be strengthened for this last journey in the earth. I have put forth my hand to touch each member of my body with a fresh anointing that shall break every yoke.

The light of the day shall come into your minds as I have opened your understanding that you might understand the scriptures. The spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of me has been granted the church. Now rise up by the wisdom of God, and go and win the lost. You cannot win them with the wisdom of this world, for the wisdom of this world is devilish and sensual.

Many have tried to win the lost with devilish spiritual methods of sensualness and not the wisdom from on high. I have moved upon the church with the inspiration from the mind of Christ. Those who will hear my voice and do the things that are heard in the spirit shall experience the revival of adding to the church. You have tried to accomplish it with human plans. Now behold the divine plans.

Enter into my gates with thanksgiving. Come into my courts with praise. Come before my presence with singing and minister unto me. You have attempted to minister to a lost world without ministering unto me first. Return to your first love and minister unto me. Let the Martha's minister to the carnal things which must be done also, but if you want revival and an adding unto your congregations, then minister unto me, the Lord, your God. Minister unto me, and your mind shall be united with my mind. The barriers created by ingratitude and pride have stood between you and the lost. Thanksgiving, praise, and songs unto me shall transcend the barriers of ingratitude and pride. Offer the sacrifice of praise, and behold the light of revelation that shall bring you to the revelations of Joseph. I have said, "Go and study the life of Joseph." His name means, "Adding." In his life and his character, are seeds of multiplying unto the congregations.

Despise not prophesying. Keep dreaming, and keep looking. The vision of the harvest is being made clear as the barriers of ingratitude and pride are removed. Worship in the beauty of holiness. Worship me in the beauty of holiness.
