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!
Yes!Thank-you for clarifying the confusion my husband and I have been feeling.the intensity was overwhelming.Now we know what has been going on.So exciting!Thank-you for this very timely word.
Thank you Lance! This was very helpful. Sometimes you wonder if you are in the crazy zone or what!!
Lance – ALWAYS find what you share timely! So encouraging! So challenging! Never wishy washy or sugar coated! You speak to people who want to grow up in the Lord, and I appreciate you! Thank You
love it Lance! I totally agree with what you are saying here, what a wonderful confirmation!
I receive your message as coming from the Lord. I have personally experience a tremendous spiritual opposition that has affected every area of my life..buy it’s over. I believe this a Rama Word from the God! Thanks for your words of encouragement. Blessings!
I can definitely identify with this. I have been praying for ten years to return to a law firm as an Administrator and a door has opened for an interview this Wednesday.
This is an amazing and timely word and I thank you for sharing it. you put in words what I am living… my life scripture is Rev 3:8 Behold I have put before you an ope door which no man can shut, because you have little power and have kept my word and not denied my name.
“You must go up to go through” is a great word. I really like,”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”. There’s a need to become more 3rd heaven minded. The door in heaven is OPEN not closed.
As a Kim Clement warrior (!), this word is v. familiar to me ~ I even still have a ’06 CD of his where he is expounding on this. And now you put a fresh “today” spin on it for me! I just downloaded your book, and want you to know that as soon as I began reading it the Spirit was speaking it to me! That is definitely me. I have been feeling stuck and imprisoned, invisible, rejected, ignored, and like I’m falling asleep on this launching pad! Can’t wait to read more of your book, but wanted to tell you this asap first. Thank you so much Lance for making this available. I have had prophetic words and dreams declaring the end of lack for me, that spirits of poverty have left my house, yet continue to wait for the manifestation . . . I am typing this at a library as I have no computer! Nevertheless, I choose to believe His word and declare He is FAITHFUL! Many blessings – you are awesome and so much appreciated, shalom, Deborah (God has told me through his prophets at leats twice that I have the mantle of Deborah by the way :}).
As one!
Excuse me now. I have to go up and enter in!
