Keep your chin up!
How often have you been told this?
But did you know that if you’re seated in heavenly places you can keep looking down?
A few days ago the Lord told me there was an open door in heaven and many of us were going up. Praying from the finished work is better than climbing to perfection. Praying from the revealed will of God is superior to striving to make something happen.
Years ago I read a tract about the “Throne Room Perspective.” We need to see our challenges from the perspective of being in heaven rather than stuck on earth. Earth’s systems are corrupted and controlled by iniquitous patterns, people, and compromised principles. Heaven has an entirely different system. Let's bring that system down to earth.
I am learning to go through this open door. I want to hear God more clearly…be more accurate…be less affected by earthly things.
Let me tell you about a time this perspective changed everything for me:
After a conference, I flew from Morningstar in Fort Mill, South Carolina, to Vancouver, Canada. I waited five hours, then flew fourteen hours to Manila. When I arrived I could not find my luggage! This had happened before. I was tempted to “fret” but checked into my spirit and just felt a velvet peace. Thankfully, my luggage was returned to me! But what I didn't know was that this episode was visible to the people watching me at the terminal who came to pick me up. They said I just seemed to be singing along joyfully and unbothered…and I was.
Keep looking down.
As One,

That is so good! Thanks so much Lance! This summer I had an experience where I felt so much in alignment with the Lord as I haven’t felt for a long time. Living in Canada I felt God wanted me to go to a in person training in Texas instead of just watching a video replay later on, because it would be so much more impacting and valuable to me. But because of the COVID situation and travel restrictions everyone was telling me it wasn’t possible. With all the regulations it was also so much more expensive. But I had to go. I had a goal and destiny from the Lord and he helped to figure out all the details, and I could rest in his provision, leading and guiding. I had a piece in the midst of some fear and wondering how everything would turn out. I could trust and move forward even though I didn’t know all the little details. And even though I messed up one little detail that could have ruined everything for our trip back to Canada, God provided for the rescue and it was the work of minutes. Though there was quite some stress and sweat involved I had so much piece, felt so much of alignment, and in the will of God. I wish I could live in that kind of piece and alignment with Jesus and his plans and the works that he already has prepared for me, all the time and not in my own ways, but trust and know that if I’m seated in heavenly places I can just keep looking down! Thanks again Lance! Blessings – Marc

Goood stuff….THANK YOU for this perspective !
Tonight I got the very awful news that my parrot has cancer. I have had him 11 + years. This whole ordeal will be 17 days long on 8/17. I am going 8/17 to send him to heaven. I had a prayer chain going for him but apparently God wants him in heaven so I have to release him to God. It feels like something has just ripped my heart out of my chest. Devastated is an understatement. I know that in the past day he is starting to feel pain, I got the biopsy results today 8/16 and I will send him to heaven tomorrow. He is starting to make little noises that indicate he is feeling pain, and I gave him pain medicine from the vet, so it has to be getting worse. The kicker is that his name is Enoch. And we all know that God took Enoch off the earth and into heaven because God loved Enoch so much. Please pray for me and pray for my husband. We are really messed up. But I won’t put this off because I know he is hurting and I could never let him suffer another day with pain. I need prayer so bad, and so does my husband. My husband is a true animal lover and this is tearing him apart. As for me, it is too, but I have a lot more faith than my husband. My main concern is don’t let this poor little baby feel any physical pain. I’ll fall apart later on. Take care of him first. What am I going to do? I am crying. Just pray for us and my parrot named Enoch. God receive Enoch into heaven where he can fly freely like he is created to do.
I just had to put my precious Caleb, an Exotic Short Hair cat down. I asked jesus to send Angel’s to come and get him while the vet was putting him down and reassured Caleb he was going to go see Jesus. His big old eyes stayed focused on my eyes. After he passed, my vet gently picked him up in his arms and cradled him like a baby. I hugged the vet holding my precious Caleb and left. While stopping at a Yield sign, the Lord said “I did not send Angel’s to pick him up; that was Me,”
The next week qqKat Kerr was on Elijah Streams talking about sending our precious pets to heaven to wait for us and hoe precious they are to Him,,
I would try to find the show. It was probably 3 Wednesdays ago. I know Jesus was standing with the vet to take my precious little one to heaven to wait for me. Be encouraged. I have no one but Jesus and my little dog who is not well, but I have so much peace and joy knowing he is with Jesus waiting for me.
Be encouraged my friend. Soon we will be with them. Jesus is so awesome.
Thank you for the very timely word of encouragement. God bless you!
These are liberating thoughts Lance, thank you. It seems invitations and revelations have been dispatched amongst the remnant so we can follow the clues left in Rev 4:1, Isa 2:3 & Psa 110 :1 and for us to “come up” to learn His Ways and Walk in His Paths..
Ok, if you say so Lance!
