loved her, the One who’d rescued her from the deep sleep, she opened her heart to all He’d destined her to be. In return for His love, she would love Him back. She would love Him with every breath she breathed, with every beat of her heart – He was her Everything!
Look at them as they leap along the mountaintops. Listen to the noise they make – like the rumbling of chariots, like the roar of fire sweeping across a field of stubble, or like a mighty army moving into battle.
—Joel 2:5 NLT
SOARING in the heavenlies, filled with the love of her Savior, Beloved was seeing her life, and the lives of those she loved, from an entirely different perspective. Seeing clearly now the angelic as she looked to her right and to her left, she was truly surrounded by beautiful, celestial guardians who had never left her side. They spoke openly to her now, knowing she would hear them. Together, they flew at great speed into the atmosphere and to wondrous heights they ascended.
While tied to the earth, she had seen only glimpses of revelation of the Father’s victorious kingdom. Now, she saw the expanse of the terrestrial planet clearly through the eyes of faith the Father had given her. Truly, Beloved recognized the extraordinary days of the victorious white horse rider were here at last.
Flying with the angelic, she witnessed great battles being fought all over earth’s realm. Indeed, it flooded her heart with joy to see the victorious battles for the exultation of the Prince of Peace. She laughed out loud as she thought, “Wars fought
for peace
,” – how ironic. She grasped it all now, “No peace without the battle…” the angelic knew she finally understood.
Beloved could sense in her heart there was a heightened intensity filling earth that had been dulled by apathy for centuries. What a revelation the church was receiving. She could sense the passion for the Lamb beginning to rise. “They
will
love You, Jesus!” she shouted to the Lord. Beloved was undone as she beheld the revelation of the Bridegroom!
There was something new and different Beloved felt in her spirit. Heaven was surging with expectancy – the kingdom of heaven was preparing for an invasion and the realms of earth were left unaware of the nearness of their deliverer.
Light burst through the sky as Beloved’s spirit was captivated by an intense feeling of heightened awakening. She felt the anticipation of heaven’s determined triumph.
Flashes of chariot wheels exploded in her spirit, turning and twisting in hurried preparation. Horses stopping, grunting their impatience, awaiting the heavenly riders mounting in readiness of the warriors’ determined march. In bold resolution, she watched the great army make their preparations for an invasion of huge magnitude. Heaven was preparing to invade earth!
T HE P RINCE
Indeed, Heaven was moving closer to earth and walls crumbled in consequence of its nearness. Spiritual walls were responding to His impending arrival. Idols were being demolished in the hearts of believers. Veils disintegrated in anticipation of His eminent coming. With one purpose and one destination, the kingdom of heaven was invading, coming to restore the earth (Revelation 21:5).
Beloved knew that what she was about to experience and what the earth would see revealed was the unequivocal authority of a Prince! THE Prince!
She could feel the weightiness of the roar of the Son of Heaven upon the atmosphere and she watched as earthly kingdoms bent and crumbled like playthings. Earth’s idols shattered and the radiance of Holy Spirit was pervading – destroying the strongholds in the minds of men.
Astounded by seeing what she’d previously only dreamed about, Beloved saw the future of the earth revealed before her. The impact of the ancient doors closed long ago now suddenly opened and an entire kingdom of priests were emerging to serve their King in truth and integrity. Seemingly out of nowhere, a great army stood and arose to
