The Father Loves You - Report From The Gate Dc
February 24, 2005
Three people that spent the week soaking in the presence of the Lord began to pray for those gathered at The Gate and as they did we experienced the joy and the presence of the Lord. The anticipation and expectation for more increased as they moved from person to person blessing what God was doing in each individual life. They prayed for spiritual eyes to be open and for His spirit of revelation to come that we might know Him more intimately.
As the worship began the atmosphere was charged. Someone rose to speak of a vision that came during prayer. The vision was of the wheels spoken of in the book of Ezekiel. She saw the wheels and the four creatures. She saw them on fire and felt the Lord was fanning the flames and bringing fresh fire. A spontaneous song broke out as someone sang, "I want to ride on the wheels of the Lord" Then another read Ezekiel 1 about the wheels full of eyes moving purposefully without turning in each direction. Another rose to
pray for eyes to see in the heavenly realm. For supernatural eyes. Another spontaneous song rose up as we looked to see what the Lord would say. "His eyes are upon you. You can't turn away. His eyes are for you. Burning eyes are for you." A call went out for desperate believers to hunger and thirst to see more of Him. Lord we want more. We want to see your glory was the sound of hungry desperate people praying at the Gate.
The worship was intimate and many began to lay on their faces before the Lord, soaking in His presence. Someone in a vision saw a body of water that had ripples and there was a glow in the distance. In the vision we began to swim toward the brightness, against the tide and one worshipper reached it and became fully illuminated. As we behold Him and continue to move toward Him and our minds are renewed we are transformed from glory to glory into His likeness. Some proclaimed, "We are going into that realm where His mysteries will be revealed to us. It is given to us to know His mysteries." Another rose to read Ephesians 1:17-21. The presence of the Lord was tangible to the senses.
His love flooded our hearts as we remained in His presence. Ears began to hear His voice and eyes began to see as we went deeper. In the deep places of our hearts the Father began to touch us. One rose to speak of the Fathers heart and the healing that was coming. When someone asked, "How was it with your father?" Holy Spirit went deeper, touching hearts and ministering sovereignly and intimately in the corporate setting. Jesus healed and set many free from the pain of broken relationships. One after another rose to speak of God's faithfulness in healing the wounds of the heart. The Fathers heart was revealed. All who have received the spirit of adoption and become the members of the family of God were encouraged to hear His voice saying, like He said to Jesus "These are my sons and daughters in whom I am well pleased." Our lives are hidden in Jesus and the Father Himself loves us with the same love that He has for Jesus because we love the Son.
"For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ from whom the whole family in heaven and on earth is named, that he would grant you, according to his riches in glory to be strengthened in the Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height--to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge, that you may be filled with the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. " Paul's prayer is our prayer for all of you.
