Gems from Heaven

One day as I was fasting and praying, I looked at the wall in my room, and it opened up. What I then saw was Heaven, and it was so breath-taking and beautiful that I gasped out loud when I saw it.

I saw the throne room of the Almighty. It was lit up so brightly that it shone as the sun, but yet it did not hurt my eyes to look at it. I saw streets of Gold leading to it, Gold so pure and clear that it looked as though I was looking into clear glass instead of looking at the streets of Heaven.

I saw pillars surrounding the throne room. These pillars are quite large. They are pillars that are embedded with the most precious of gems, gems so pure that the brilliance of light coming from the throne room shone on them, causing them to sparkle as the stars in the sky sparkle on a clear summers evening.

I looked on in amazement at the Beauty of the Lord that was now surrounding me. I looked to my left and I saw beautiful fields of flowers, small flowers of all colors, gently blowing in the breeze of the Spirit of the Living God. As the breeze reached me, I caught the fragrance of the Lord as I had captured it so many other times when He was near me.

I breathed in deeply, savoring every moment of the sweet fragrance of the Lord that was now upon me. I felt the gentle breeze of His Spirit touch my cheek as a kiss from my Beloved's lips.

I looked to my right, and I saw my Lord approaching. He sat high upon a white horse, a horse so big, so muscular that it was intimidating to look at. The muscles in this horse's legs and back rippled as my Beloved rode toward me.

I saw that His horse was wearing cuffs around his legs toward the bottom. The cuffs that are on his legs have small Golden tassles on them, and are also embedded with precious gems. His horse's mane is whiter than snow, with Golden threads woven through it. This horse rode with pre-ordained purpose. There is no doubt in my mind that this horse belonging to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, is a Warrior horse, having seen many, many battles with the One Whom sits upon him and conquers all.

Behind my Lord is an Army. It is all of Heaven backing Him up at His beck and call. Thousands upon thousands of warriors ride into battle with the One Whom leads them, leading them nowhere but to Victory.

As my Lord approaches me, He slows His horse. The thousands of warriors, The Army of The One, comes to a halt behind Him. He slowly circles around me, His horse panting hard. I look into my Lords eyes, seeing the FIRE in them quickly change to eyes filled with such Love, so much Love that I feel my knees grow weak.

My Lord stops, and in the blink of an eye, is now standing in front of me. I look up into those eyes of Love, and again I catch the fragrance of the Lord as the breeze of His Spirit now engulfs my very being.

He gently takes my hand, and speaks softly, but firmly. "Come with Me, and enter into the throne room." I wanted to melt at the sound of His voice. How could I say no? My heart began to beat fast as I took a step toward my Lord, and accepted His invitation.

As we begin to walk toward the throne room, I am again aware of the breeze that now follows us as we walk, only this time, the breeze is charged with Power coming from on High. I feel light-headed as I step closer to my God, the Power with-in Him causing every cell in my body to tingle. 

As we reach the throne room, I softly weep, taken aback by the Glory of the Lord that is now spread out before my eyes. I cling tighter to my Lord's hand, too afraid that if I close my eyes for only a moment, that I will miss the Splendour of His Beauty that He has brought me in to.

I feel as though the floor has dropped out beneath me. My Lord gently pulls me up, holding me closer to Him, having me stand in His Strength alone. I catch my breath at the sight that lay before me. I feel the Power with-in the throne room enter in to me, and I stood with the Lord in new determination.

All of my worries, my fears, my doubt are removed from me, taken by the Lord, Himself. I quickly understand that He wants me to relax in His Presence,  so I yield to the unspoken understanding of what it is that He is wanting from me. I only wish to please my Lord, and be obedient to His leading.

We slowly walk forward, stopping mid way in to the room. I look around me, and I see the room is busy with Admiration and Worship for the One Whom just entered in. I sense more than I see winged creatures, circling around the throne at such a high speed that they appear as just a white flash in my eyes.

I hear the voices of thousands of Angelic Beings, singing and declaring the Holiness of the Lord. I look around me at the brillance of the gems that are embedded with-in the walls of the throne room. Their brillance as they shine bounce off of the Gold that I see with-in the room as well. It truly is a room fit for a King, a room so large that it could have been a mansion, itself!

The Lord leads me to a table, and as I look up upon the wall, I see my enemies. I see that the table is prepared for me before my enemies. The Lord waves His hand, and the image of my enemies disappears, replaced by images of the Kingdom of God, filled with Beauty and Peace. My soul rests at the understanding of what it is that the Lord has done.

We approach the table, and the Lord lifts a Gold cup to His lips. He drinks from it, and then passes it to me. I drink from the cup, tasting the sweetness of the Lord upon it. The Lord smiles at me as He places the cup back on the table. Again I just want to melt at the smile coming from Him as I look up intently upon His face.

I look down at the table, and I see a bowl in the middle of it. The bowl is filled with the most precious gems known to man. The Lord reaches for the bowl, and as He puts His hands into it, He scoops a large amount of the gems up, holding them in mid-air above the bowl.

My eyes are on the gems in His hands, and as He releases them to fall back down in to the bowl, they fall slowly, as if in slow motion. I see the gems sparkle as they fall downward toward the bowl, and as they hit the bowl, I can hear the ping of the gems as they return to the place where He had taken them from.

I then saw the Lord wave His hand toward the wall again, and as I looked on the wall, I saw Nations upon Nations that the Lord has His hand upon. I saw my own state as well, and my Nation. As I was watching the wall, it moved with all of the Nations as well as my own state and Nation.

I saw the Lord wave His hand again, and the Nations as well as my own state and Nation were now under our feet. I looked down at the floor, as though watching a movie. I could see various different Nations moving as the Lord moved. I also saw other Nations that were still and not moving, as they struggled to move without the hand of the Lord upon them.

I saw the Lord take a handful of the gems again, and this time He held them out toward the Nations under His hand. As He slowly released the gems, again they moved as if in slow motion.  I saw the gems falling, landing on Nation after Nation, my own included.

As the gems reached their destinations, I could see Revival breaking out at the Hand of the Lord. I saw a sprinkling of Gold dust fall slowly after the gems, adding to the FIRE of the Revival breaking out that was now spreading across the Nations. I saw gems fall upon people that I knew, and rejoiced that the hand of the Lord was upon them!

As I stood before the Lord and wept, I understood that Revival is coming to the Nations! I understood that He wants to do so much more than what He already is doing! I understood that as the floor closed up after this vision, that I had just witnessed the start of something so much bigger than we have ever imagined!

Later that night as I was getting ready to lay my head down for the night, I caught a glimpse of something sparkling out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head toward it, and saw a diamond sparkling. This diamond was so large that I couldn't help but smile. Yes, I had witnessed a great out-pouring of the Lords favor, as well as precious Gems from Heaven!
