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!
Very encouraging. The battle has been as you described. Good to get a clear picture of what is happening in the heavens.
Met you over 12 years ago and you are still on point. Thank you for a much needed word1
it is the first time I have seen what my spirit has been sencing put into words.
Praise the Lord. Only ONE Voice is calling behind the door!
I recalled growing up in a small village, and my mother’s voice would come from behind the door whenever dinner is ready. Yes, Dr Lance, God is calling us “UP” to have feasting with Him … the timing is NOW.
awesome
I went through this door in a succession of dreams, a while back. It is time to go through and to keep going through.
Wow, Lance this word was right on for me. Felt all the shifting, ya, sometimes in the same few hours! Felt everything you wrote about. I was even reading the Book of Revelation this week and then got your e-mail! Can’t get more right on than that! It was a blessing to connect with what you wrote and that you wrote about it. Keep seeking….
Seems right on, I have been going through this time you mention and just a few hours ago I saw a swallow fly by, it was flying lower that the others so I looked up and it had jumbled weeds hanging off its’ underside, they were not in its mouth. I noted as it flew with the others it was slower and could not fly as high, they flew back towards me. The one that was weighed down with the weeds could not get much higher than the cars I went over to it and called it quietly hoping it would stop perchance and let me take the weeds off so it wouldn’t be hurt and could fly like the others like it was meant to fly…high, fast and swooping; but it didn’t stop, it flew away. I felt the Lord say come here let me help you take off what is encumbering you, don’t be afraid, still yourself until I take off the things that are holding you back… So yes your word is timely. Thank you
Thank you so much Lance for this insight. I’ve read and taught this passage many times, yet you certainly opened up some things to me. Bless you.
Today I saw an overhead door company & know it was God, I was reminded of Yeshua who never had a ceiling and the one ceiling He had was torn off that one might be lowered through. So I opened my sun roof and expectantly peered through…remove from your chosen people all ceilings Ps 20 Matt 6 Thank you for overhead doors!
