In 1986, when the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to me, I was then sitting in an armchair. He was standing in front of me to my left. I thought he had come to answer one of my prayers - to visit heaven. So I reached out and said to the Lord, "I'm ready to go." The Lord smiled at me and said it was not the time for me to go. He started talking about other things like the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
In early 1994, when we announced that this year would be the year of the visitation, I knew in my mind that my prayers would be answered. I didn't know when, but I knew it would be that year.
At the beginning of April 1994, my spirit was taken to heavenly places . It was so quick and quick. I didn't have time to see anything on the trip, nor the other parts of the sky. I didn't even see the beaded doors - I got trapped in the throne room of God.
Somehow, God knows the desires of our hearts and he knew that entering the throne room of God would satisfy my deepest aspirations. There was a consciousness in me that the saints in heaven knew I was there. It seems that the people in heaven know what is happening to us spiritually. They know whether you are walking with the Lord or not. They could sense your spiritual development and growth. When something spiritual is about to happen in your life, they seem to know it too. Some of my friends and relatives who were in Heaven knew I was there. It was the first awareness of this awareness that I had when I was there.
Awareness of them is as if you are very close to them even though you may be very far from them. There is no distance in paradise.
The first thing I did in the throne room was fall before God and start to cry because I felt the love and mercy of God. In the midst of God's awesome presence, I realized that he had fulfilled all the promises and words that he had spoken in my life. Whatever you desire, if you constantly pray and believe the word of God and don't let doubt and fear rob you of it, God will answer. Sometimes the answer takes a long time, but it will come.
In his presence there was an awareness that the most important thing about God's visitation is timing. It is not only in the preparations, which is important, because we must have a right heart before God. It is not how holy, spiritual you are, or how many good works you have done for God, but it is the fullness of the timing of God that determines the visitation of God in your life.
The reason he waited until 1994 to come forward was that there was a certain spiritual knowledge that he wanted me to be edified before he could reveal the throne room. It was to make the visit more permanent in my life.
I believe if God had done it sooner, I wouldn't have been spiritually ready. That's what I mean by proper timing. There is no way we can afford to be worried about God's visits in our life. We have to tell Him, "Lord, no matter how you manifest or when you do it, we just want to be in God's perfect will to receive the right things at the right time." If this is not God's time for your visit and if it happens (which it would not), the impact and effect of this visit would not be permanent.
Then we understood that God the Father, the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit did not have a mansion or a place to stay, unlike the heavenly saints who have mansions to live in. I was struck by how the throne room was the house of God. It was where he lived. God's throne room was his home. We know that all of heaven is his dwelling place, but the throne room was where he lived.
In John 14: 1, Jesus said that in my father's house there were many mansions. Heaven is the house of God.
You never read in the Bible where it says Jesus has a mansion or the father has a special place where he will retire from time to time or do whatever he wants. The throne room was where he resided. It was his living room, his bedroom and his place of work, where he lived permanently.
The next awareness I had was that God was the source of all light in all heavens. The Bible says there are no suns in heaven because the glory of God illuminates all of heaven. We read in the Word that the angels shine with light and their presence is shining. In heaven, angels have varying degrees of brightness of the glory of God, but it was clear that all of those shines and shines of all of God's creations in heaven - angels, saints and the like were but a reflection. The awareness of this fact was very strong.
All celestial garments were made from substances from the spirit realm such as righteousness, praise, etc. All of these substances were living substances. When we worship God, these are the substances that flow from our mind to God. In Luke 18:22, Jesus told the rich young man to sell all he had and give it to the poor, and he would receive rewards in heaven.
The most important thing about giving and doing good works is not the works themselves or what we do. It is the attitude of your heart that determines the reward. When we do this, guided by the Spirit, and the attitude of the heart is correct, there is spiritual strength and substance going to God from our spirit.
In Philippians 4:18, Paul told the Philippians that the offerings they had given him were a fragrant fragrance to God. They had tangible spiritual substances. When Noah offered an animal offering to God after coming out of the ark, it was the right attitude of his heart that God smelled like a sweet fragrance - it was not the smell of the burnt animal sacrifice (which Probably did not smell good: whatever God referred to Noah's right heart attitudes spawned spiritual substances that went to God.
In Revelation 14 it is said that the white robe garments in heaven are the righteous works of the saints. This means that whatever good for God you do will be your spiritual deposit in heaven. We read in Isaiah 61 about the garments of worship. In Revelation, mention is made of the prayers of the saints who ascend to heaven. These right attitudes of the hearts of the saints who perform spiritual works on earth produce substances which make heavenly abodes, heavenly rewards, heavenly crowns and garments, etc.
It is very important that whatever you do for God, your attitude of heart should be right when you do it and the intention is out of love for God and the people - then the "frankness" and the "fullness" of spiritual substances of your heart will go to God for your heavenly rewards. These heavenly garments are not capable of producing light on their own. They are like the moon in the sun.
The brightness and brightness of the moon depend on the sun. Likewise, the luminosity of angels and the heavenly garments of the saints are a reflection of the glory of God. I was fully aware that if God were to somehow stop this light coming from the Throne, every angel, plant, and celestial garment would turn black. There would be no more of this luminosity then.
Looking into the glory of God, there was a keen awareness of who I am, what I am, what I wear, everything the saints wear in heaven and all the brightness of the mansions surrounding the throne was than a reflection.
Literally you could say his life is in us. It is because of the constantly beating river of life that flows from the throne of God and illuminates every life in heaven. Glory and life are one. To have life is to have glory. To have glory is to have life.
I also knew that clothes were constantly changing for a different purpose. We don't have the same clothes for 10,000 years, but 10,000 years in Heaven. There are different types of clothes that we wear and they are a reflection of God and what he does. On this earth, some people wear clothes that indicate their work and rank. In heaven, the clothes are the same, with one exception. On this earth, many uniforms are uncomfortable and most prefer to wear casual clothes. In heaven, all clothes are casual. They are not uncomfortable at all. In heaven, the two are one. All clothing is an expression of the different classifications and jobs of angels for the different types of work they do. I was really amazed to see what was going on. I didn't know the angels had changed their clothes. They don't have a wardrobe like we have on earth. What I saw was when angels came to the throne room for a mission, they were taking different items with them. Sometimes they took swords with them, sometimes a vase or different things to send to the inhabitants of the earth.
And each of these things is a powerful transmission of gifts or substances. It is literal in the spirit world although it is just a tangible feeling in your mind when you receive it. When you receive a gift from God, say a ring, it is God literally giving it to you, although in your natural body you can only feel a heavy imputation of the anointing.
In the spiritual realm, there are many, many types of gifts that God sends to his people and angels are responsible for sending them. When the angels approach the throne room to receive orders from God, their clothes are changed instantly and they come out of the throne of God with their warrant.
After weeping for some time in front of the throne room, Jesus came out of his throne and invited me to sit on it. I replied, “Lord, I…” A feeling of dread filled me not with refusing to disobey him , but it was as if it was more than I could bear. I knew the Word of God said in Ephesians 2: 4-7, "we are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus", but it is heaven and you don't just sit on the throne of God. But he held my hand and placed me on his throne.
It was what it was to sit on the throne of God. The past, present and future are disappearing. It was like a position that you got into, where everything in the past and everything in the future is like the present. There is no time. You don't feel it. And everything that God said about the Throne through the prophets that spoke and what Jesus said while on earth will come to pass. It was clear that Jesus and the Father did not need to lift a finger for the word of God to be fulfilled. The power and impact of the spoken Word of God, even though it had been spoken a very long time ago, was so powerful.
You could feel its incredible power in heaven and on the seat of Jesus' throne. You know that the spoken Word of God has been fulfilled or was going to be fulfilled. There was a realization that it was done, completed and finished. The awareness of this power which emanated from the throne of Jesus and which could enable the fulfillment of the word of God was acute.
The power of the Word which was issued as a royal order was such that all Jesus had to do was sit on the throne and rule and it would come to pass. Hebrews 1: 5-8. There is an authority coming out of the Throne, a power that seems to constrain everything, to conform to his rule.
The only reason God uses angels and saints is not because he doesn't have enough power to do so, but to give us the opportunity to experience what it looks like to be. do its things. Before there were angels, God had the ability to call to be anything. That same ability is still there. The throne of Jesus exuded such intense power to put pressure on every man, woman,
God has his angels to do his work. But the power of God was such that he could do it without His angels. He was like a person with such power that all he needs is to say it and it's done. We know it took place in Genesis 1, where God said it and it was.
In 1 Corinthians 15: 25-27, "For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet, and the last enemy to be destroyed is death." Because 'he put everything under his feet.' But when he says "all is subject to him," it is obvious that he who puts all things under him is excepted. His existence on the throne puts intense pressure on all that is to come under his feet.
In Mark 11: 23-24, Jesus said that if you have faith in your words and do not doubt in your heart, the mountain will be removed when you speak to him. This verse is about believing what you say and when you speak to the mountain and believe it, it will put pressure on the mountain to be removed.
This is what was happening in the throne room. The intense and awesome power of Jesus reigning over God made me unable to endure it for long.
There is another aspect of the throne. We tend to think that all things surround the throne of God. And there is a sea of glass like crystal before the throne. It's not quite like that. You couldn't see what was behind the throne of God. If I take a chair and sit on it, you will be able to see what is behind and around the chair. It was like some kind of glory or life flowing from it. It was as if the throne was connected to infinity. Behind the throne, there is infinity. You could see as far as you wanted to see, beyond the natural. Yet the life that came from the throne was limitless.
It was like looking into infinity. You can't see the end. I believe there may be another universe that Almighty God created in his greatness and we are only a tiny part of the universe.
It's like the infinity, the infinity of the worlds that God created. It was great to know how powerful and mighty our almighty God is, as if I was aware that the manifestation of the throne room is in varying degrees. I could hardly understand it. It was as if there was another universe somewhere with a different world, then the throne room of God which is linked to infinity would also be linked to this universe and many other universes. And God is aware of what is here and what is beyond, even to the ends of the entire universe.
Seeing infinity is like putting two mirrors in front of each other. You can see as far as you want and there is no end. And there are many manifestations of the throne of God in all the universes connected to him infinitely.
Then, in the sky itself, it was as if different planes existed in the sky.
In every place was a manifestation of God. It's not like having different planes or degrees of glory and there is a throne of God for each plan.
There is only one plane where the throne of God is, but if you were on the lower plane and approached that lower plane, you would still see the throne of God, but the throne of God that you would see and experience would be from that lower plane. It's the same throne, but it reflects, say, seven degrees of glory, and you see the throne of God differently than I see.
I was intensely aware that believers could reach the throne of God and see different parts of the throne from what I saw.
This is what really amazed me. It is as if we plane several layers of glass with different degrees of transparency. Suppose I put a light bulb in front of the different glasses. You could see the bulb in different degrees depending on how transparent the glasses were. If you were in the lower plane you could still see the bulb, but it's not just a reflection, it's like seeing it as a hologram. On earth, you would see it as a reflection. But in heaven, if you approach the throne from below, it's like seeing the light there, but you know you don't, but from another plane.
Because he has passed the different degrees of glory and you see him from the lowest plane, you will see the throne of God differently. People could approach the Throne at these different levels or planes. When you are at the highest level, you can begin to understand by seeing the throne from other planes.
So in the children's paradise they will also have the manifestation of the throne room of God as well, but on a different level.
The throne room of God is not static. It doesn't stay the same where you imagine you only see the glory of God and his shine all the time.
Different things happen on the throne at different times. After the experience of sitting with Jesus, I was allowed to stand and watch all of these things.
When Elijah said, "I stand in the presence of God", I began to understand what he meant. It meant standing in the presence of God and only being able to observe all the activities taking place in heaven. The sky is a beehive of activity.
Different things were going on the throne of God and things were also being emitted. Whenever people on earth worship God and sing about how great our God and Jesus our King and Commander-in-Chief are, there is a type of glory that reflects his kingship, authority and power in the royal sense, each with its different shades. And if people are singing about the loving God, the fatherhood of God, the throne room would have a different light that will shine and you will be able to see the sweet warm love that flows from the throne.
God is what we say he is. And what God has revealed to us on the throne is what we see and say about him on earth.
When you know him as Jehovah Jireh and call him Jehovah Jireh, he becomes Jehovah Jireh for you. When you call him Jehovah Shammah, he becomes Jehovah Shammah for you and you will have the closeness of his meekness.
When you call him Jehovah Tsidkenu, the righteousness of God begins to manifest. Whatever attribute you call God, its manifestation changes accordingly. I was amazed at how far the throne of God went in the many different manifestations of glory according to the worship of His people.
This is why he revealed his name as I AM that I AM. When you start to add what you perceive to I AM, it begins to manifest accordingly, for it is the alpha and the omega.
Whatever name you use to say and talk about God according to your revelation, it is, because it contains all the alpha and omega that you can understand even beyond what you can see and think. Revelation 4:
11, "You are worthy to receive glory, honor, and power; for you created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created."
The Lord Jesus appeared as a Lamb of God. It was the throne room. We know Jesus is in the form of a glorified man. But look, it appears differently in Revelation 5: 6: "And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a lamb as if it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. "Notice Jesus was something else. He not only represented a man sitting at the right hand of God, but he was now doing something different for the destiny of the nations and it was a full manifestation that looked like a lamb.
In Revelation 5:12 he describes the worship of the Lamb. Whatever we sing, the heavens begin to manifest and the glory of the Lord begins to shine according to the Great I AM that I AM. Not that we change him because he does not change, but what we receive from him according to what you see and say about God. Don't tell of God according to your limited mind. Say what the Word says he is and he will be all that he is to you.
Sometimes the manifestation of the glory of God was so powerful in the throne room that I felt like I was in a furnace and couldn't even see the face of God.
The sun has solar flares constantly and according to scientists, there is an eleven year cycle in which more sunspots occur in the sun during these cycles. This is just a small illustration of the fiery things that are constantly happening on the throne of God. Alleluia!
Either way, what we do spiritually on earth brings a manifestation of the throne of God. One of the busiest times in heaven is when there are various activities with the saints on earth. Sunday is not just a busy day on earth, during which many believers around the world worship God. It pleases God when there is spiritual activity on earth. I saw things rise from earth to heaven. These things were substances of our praises, of our prayers, of our sacrifices, of our gifts, of the righteous attitudes of our hearts described above which ascend to God in worship.
It wasn't just a one-way upward movement, but two-way traffic. The rays of light that go up to the sky and the rays of light down. These rays were substances which ascended to heaven, creating activity in heaven, and the angels of God brought the substances of the saints and brought them to God as true offerings before him. Oh, the splendor of the things of God. One of the most beautiful things God has shared with me on the throne is that He has given me a glimpse of what my job would be like in heaven. It's already so wonderful if you find out what God's will for you on this earth. It was so glorious that God didn't just want us to visit his throne. He wants the throne room to be our home. And I I began to understand what he was saying - that we don't go visit God in heaven every now and then, and then come back to earth to do our earthly duties and responsibilities. But Ephesians 2: 6 says otherwise, "we were raised up and seated with Christ in the heavenly places."
The most wonderful message God has given is that Heaven is our home now.
Ephesians 2 is in the past tense. It is not "we will be", although our physical bodies are on this earth. Our mind can actually stay there. God made me understand that my spirit can stay there, while my body can be here below. Every now and then our spirits have to descend to this earth to fulfill our earthly responsibilities, but we have to return there.
We shouldn't be visiting God in heaven every now and then. Instead, it should be the opposite. What God meant was that our spirit could be there. The authority we have on this earth is proportional to our spirit in heavenly places (Ephesians 1: 20-23). These principalities and powers are demonic forces that have settled in the atmosphere of the earth to prevent the glory of God from coming to us and to prevent us from reaching his glory.
Our mind and body can be destroyed if we allow it. Then we can never escape the gravitational pull of the law of sin and death.
However, our spirits can soar very high. The reason God wants us to climb very high is that when our spirit is up there our spirit can struggle with principalities, powers, and evil spirits. Then we can start to affect satan's throne. Many Christians fight the lower ranks. They just have skirmishes with the enemy. But, God wants us to go into the war of victory to defeat him. Unless the strongman is bound, we cannot mess up the goods. For example, when Jesus drove out the man with the legions, he only spoke with the main one. He did not speak to the other smaller demons.
Many Christians struggle against the smaller demons of the lower kind, and yet they do not achieve victory in their life because they do not ascend the throne. The higher we go, the greater the authority (Ephesians 6: 12-14).
The only way to overcome these mighty demons is to be in heavenly places (Ephesians 3: 9-10). The only way to shake the nations of the world is to shake off the demonic forces that rule those nations. When we start to ascend, the demonic powers begin to recognize our authority in God, for we now come from the throne room of God. This is why the demons knew Paul well enough to cry out his name (Acts 19:15). Elijah had such authority over natural earth, for he always said, "I stand in the presence of God." This is why he had such power over time and the natural elements because his spirit was not on earth. His mind had sort of gone up very high. The reason was that he walked so close with God. Today, God doesn't want just one Elijah. He wants a lot of Elijah. He wants his church to be in heavenly places. We only receive heavenly blessings when we are in heavenly places. Then from heavenly realms our spirit descends with heavenly blessings and those blessings are manifested on this earth in our physical body.
It is not true to say that if you are so heavenly, you will not use anything.
We can have such an earthly spirit that we are of no heavenly use. What God wants is not the dream that the proverb speaks of. Unless you are in heavenly realms, you are a worm on this earth, having no real impact on this one. The purpose of this message is: "Church, the throne room is meant to be your home now."
The end.
