The Gate of Heaven
In
the book of Genesis there is a story that we refer to as "Jacob's
ladder". Jacob had a dream which was not just an average dream, but it
was a prophetic dream in which God encountered him and spoke to him. In
this dream/encounter the Lord showed Jacob a ladder going up into heaven
with angels ascending and descending upon it. He also gave him a
prophetic promise. When Jacob awoke he said, "Surely the Lord is in this
place, and I did not know it." In reverential fear of God he said; "How
awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!"
There is an
invisible gate separating the natural realm from the supernatural realm.
Gates are used metaphorically throughout the Word of God. They speak of
entrances, access points, passages, or portals to transition from one
place to another. They are also used figuratively as an invitation or
opportunity.
The Lord is
showing me that He is releasing spiritual encounters as well as speaking
in dreams and visions to those who will recognize it. He is visiting
men and woman as He did with the sons of Issachar who knew the times and
seasons. Some will have angelic encounters and many will have holy
visitations. He will visit the Ishmael's as well as the Isaac's and
bring great transformation into their lives. He will equip them and they
will lead the multitudes to salvation.
He will visit
those who trust Him, and He will place His coat of many colors on many.
They will not only have dreams, but they will receive the interpretation
for themselves as well as others. He is placing a mantle of miracles on
many who will be used in miracles, signs and wonders. There will be
those who will be sensitive to His voice, and some will teach others to
understand the Spirit realm. There will be those who will perceive the
angelic and discern the spiritual atmosphere.
The
Holy Spirit is seeking those who will stay strong through difficult
times, as He is about to open the curtains of heaven and reveal His
glory. Do not fear being deceived, because those who are truly His sheep
will know His voice, and the voice of a stranger they will not follow.
As you stay connected to Jesus, you will be able to recognize the true
from the false. You will know the difference between the holy and
profane, and discern between the unclean and the clean. These days are
upon us. Receive all that the Lord has for you in this time and season.
Genesis 28:10 -17
Now
Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. So he came to a
certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And
he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he
lay down in that place to sleep. Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder
was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the
angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
And
behold, the Lord stood above it and said: "I am the Lord God of Abraham
your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give
to you and your descendants. Also your descendants shall be as the dust
of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the
north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the
earth shall be blessed. Behold, I am with you and will keep you
wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not
leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you."
Then
Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "Surely the Lord is in this place,
and I did not know it." And he was afraid and said, "How awesome is
this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the
gate of heaven!"
1 Chronicles 12:32
The
sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what
Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their
brethren were at their command
