I knew the moment I got it that this was a word for many. I shared it on facebook and it went viral!
“I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven.”
Revelation 4:1
There is a door now opened—in the heavens. You must go up to go through!
This has felt like a season of colliding spiritual climates. Erratic warfare: release and heaviness, brilliant light followed by sudden darkness—and not just in the same day—sometimes the same ten minutes! While praying, my wife contacted me and said she heard the words, “a changing of the guard.” I’m not sure what all that means to you, but the atmosphere has shifted and the angelic realm is upgrading all around you!
I sensed the Lord say to us, “I am going before you.” There has been a distinct advance and change of activity in the heavens. We are contending for destiny, and that individual destiny is connected to our individual position in the Spirit. More specifically, our promotions are now connected to the strength of our inner man; our capacity to go up and go through the door of transition into a new anointing and new season of harvest. The door is open … the voice is calling … the timing is now.
In Revelation when John looked and saw the open door, it was “standing” not moving. It was “in heaven” not on earth. This is a door made available in the spirit realm—right over your existing situation. I see now the reason for the seemingly violent shifts of atmosphere. It is because our spirit man must grow in strength in order to access and go into this new dimension. If we are to see more heaven on earth, we must be seated in this heavenly realm.
Then John heard, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this” (Revelation 4:3). John was told that when he went through the door into the next dimension, he would see things to come. A heightened level of prophetic perception is operating in those who have strength to see and hear—to go through (and stay through) the open door.
If we will stay in this heavenly dimension of authority, the things that vexed and harassed and clung to us will fall off. There is an anointing for upgrade upon us now. Previous performance won't disqualify you. Heaven is calling you up into a closer intimacy—a more glorious obsession with the Godhead. This is the secret to the overcoming life:
Open Door In Heaven (Right Above Your Existing Circumstance) = More Grace and Increase
This means less of all the weights and restrictions that held you down during the last season of wrestling. Let’s go up and go through together!
This was very encouraging, especially the last sentence concerning the weights and restrictions as I had just prayed the day before telling God I felt restricted in the season and prayed for breakthrough.
I am in agreement with this, Lance. Thank you!
I leave on Thursday for a prayer pilgrimage to encounter God in Ireland’s “thin places.” This word is so timely for our group. I just emailed the link to all 14 pilgrims from our church. Thanks for sending this.
You are reading my mail. Thank you. This really helped me understand what is going on in my life right now.

You must go up to go through! https://t.co/TrwyMrA1yF via @creativejuiz
Thank you for this word, Lance. It is right on time with what the Lord told me to do this morning. I am so thankful for God’s grace & favor!
Encouraging. The Lord asked me last night to come up into heaven and sit with him as he had much to share with me. I am going through the door by His strength & power to be closer (with) him

This is beyond timely for me personally and confirming in numerous ways of what God has been speaking to me….it’s coming from that place of intimacy, there’s a sense of urgency (in a good way), major transitions, and do not be alarmed or dismayed by hidden times. Thank you!
Dear Lance,
You never fail to encourage me. Thank you for this word and for ministering today at Pastor Jerome’s church. This is a now word for the church and really has spoken to me.
God bless you more.
