As I sat with the Lord this morning, I felt His presence come upon me strongly–a sense of vibration throughout my body, and a weight that makes it harder to breathe. Whenever I sense His presence at this level, I’ve come to understand it is a signal that He is preparing me to hear a word of particular import. As always, I must record in faith as the words come, because often with this type of word, the first sentence I hear surprises me–and I don’t immediately understand it. The Lord said:
—–

“You are My hiding place. Yes, I hide Myself in you. What does this mean? How do I bring this forth? Listen, and I will unravel a mystery to you.

“You, My Redeemed, are seated with Me in heavenly places, far above all rule, authority, power, and dominion. This is your Authority given to you, redeemed by My Son’s Blood. How High am I? Could you go any higher? If you are seated with Me, could you be seated any higher? Your redeemed spirit is seated with Me, yet you live your life upon the Earth. You live in two places. I created the heavens and the earth. You, My Redeemed, dwell in the heavens and the earth. You walk upon this earth carrying this Great Authority, won back for you by My Son’s Blood. Does anyone on the earth, in their bodily form, see the Face of God? Could anyone in their physical body withstand the Glory and Power of My Presence in full? They do not see My Face, BUT THEY SEE YOU, IN WHOM I DWELL. I hide Myself in you – for YOU and FOR OTHERS. YOU are My Face to the world. You carry My Glory. Would you squander that Glory? Would you cover My Glory with your own complacency? Your sin and disobedience to Me? Or do you walk through your daily life understanding that YOU are the Face of God to others? They should look to you – and see ME. DO NOT HIDE ME. Do not hide the Lord your God. Allow My Presence to shine through you as I WANT TO SHINE. The only thing that holds back My Glory on the earth is YOU.

“My Appointed Time has come to the earth. My GLORY shall fall upon this earth. My SPIRIT is pouring out. I call My People to shine My Glory and be My Face. I hide Myself in you, not to be squelched and covered, but to be Shone FORTH as the Loving Redeemer and Just Judge that I AM. I call you, My People, to get on your knees before Me NOW and let Me show you how to fully and joyfully walk with Me and Shine My Glory to My World. Come along beside Me in this New Work I AM doing in the earth–or be left behind My Plan.

“Understand this mystery. Yes, My People hide themselves in Me, under the shelter and shadow of My wings for protection and refuge. AND I hide Myself in You, calling upon you from your spirit to allow Me to shine through you. Do not keep Me hidden. SHINE FORTH. Proclaim My Good News to the world. LOVE. LOVE with My Love, which carries both Grace and Truth. My Son Jesus embodied Grace and Truth. Ask Me how to walk in My GRACE AND TRUTH. And you will Shine Forth My Grace to the world. I hide Myself in you, NOT TO REMAIN HIDDEN. When you pledge your life to Me, you are Mine. Your life and your days are not your own. I have a PLAN and DESTINY for you. You must shine forth My Face in order to fulfill this destiny. I, the Great I AM, will show you how. Come to Me–and ask.

“All GLORY and HONOR be to the Sovereign Lord. The angels cry holy. All the earth cries holy to the Almighty God. Amen.”

Notes:

Ephesians 1:20-21, 2:4-6: … [the strength of His might] which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come…But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”

Matthew 5:14-16: “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Habakkuk 2:14: “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.”

Isaiah 43:19: “Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth;
will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.”

Psalm 91:1: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

John 1:14: And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
