Amazing Month At The Gate Dc
December 27, 2003
The month of December was an amazing time where the manifest presence of God filled our lives. Each meeting at The Gate and the Soaking Rooms was a progressive revelation of the love of the Father, expressed through the Son in the power of Holy Spirit. This theme spilled over to the Healing Rooms, the house church gatherings and all of our time together. How fitting in a month where the world pauses to remember that God so loved the world He sent His one and only Son Jesus so all who believe in Him will be saved.
At the first meeting of The Gate the presence of God was like fire and the drums echoed through the room like thunder with lightening. A woman began to dance around the room with her arms swirling and her whole body moving. Some saw with eyes of the Spirit and others sensed an angelic visitation. Then she dropped to her knees and began to speak from the Father's heart calling us deeper into relationship with him. His love poured out upon us and Holy Spirit brought a spirit of revelation upon us. Then those with broken hearts were called forth by the prophetic word and many were healed of deep wounds. Some experienced the Father's love in ways they had never dreamed of.
The next week opened with intimate worship. Singers and musicians ushered us into his presence. Immediately the prophetic word came calling us to come like Esther into the inner chambers of the King. Then a woman spoke of a vision of angels walking on stones of wisdom and revelation building us into the temple of the Lords habitation. The vision was tied to Colossians 3:2-3, "That "our" hearts would be comforted, being knit together in love and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God and of the Father and of Messiah in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." There was a very special impartation of wisdom and life to many.
Declaration, intercession and proclamation followed. Prayers of Ephesians 1:16-23 and Ephesians 3:14-21 were lifted up. The prophetic word continued to call for a deepening of our understanding and the revelation of the knowledge of the Lord. Holy Spirit led us into a deeper revelation of the Father and understanding of his everlasting love for us. One spoke of the eternal seed planted in us. Our lives are hidden in Jesus. His kingdom is being revealed in his people. Someone began to prophesy, "I have called you to eternal life. I am trying to tell you who you are. You will know who you are and you will see through eternity what I am calling forth in my Church"
Someone called us to be rooted and grounded in his love. To be reckless and abandon ourselves to God and He will gladly give us the kingdom and release it to His people. Another said that Jesus did not die so that we could just become better people. The kingdom of God is growing in us and a brand new thing is being formed. "Do you see? Do you see? Do you see? I am showing you who you are." The Lord answered our prayers and sent His spirit of revelation revealing His heart and His wisdom and fresh knowledge of who He is and His love for us.
Each week in December the Lord took us deeper and showed us His heart and affirmed His word by healing the sick and binding up the broken hearted. During the meetings believers testified of healing taking place in grocery stores and of their neighbors being healed. Others testified about the lost hearing the gospel of the kingdom of God and coming into eternal life in Jesus. Some testified of people being healed in restaurants and others healed and delivered in distant places by effective prayer and intercession. Some testified of His miraculous provision. This is the hour for His kingdom to be proclaimed and released into the streets and confirmed by the power of Holy Spirit in signs and wonders.
This is a new day and the Lord is calling us deeper. He is calling us to deeper understanding and intimacy. He is sending His spirit of revelation and we will begin to speak revelatory words as we proclaim His kingdom is come and we see His will being done on earth even as it is in heaven. The Father loves you because you love His Son.
He has commanded us to love one another even as He has loved us. Let us love one another then with a pure heart and let us proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom wherever we are so that all may hear of the Fathers great love and the gift of eternal life in Jesus.
