The Lord visited me in a dream revealing these aspects of His nature and how He desires to hand out/impart fresh levels of these gifts to all of us as His Body.
Intimacy
There is a new level of intimacy coming to the Body of Christ.
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-
Song of Songs 1:2-4
For your love is better than wine.
Because of the fragrance of your good ointments,
Your name is ointment poured forth;
Therefore the virgins love you.
Draw me away!
The Lord is revealing himself as the King once again. The Body of Christ is the Bride of the King. As we approach Him and come to the place of standing before Him we are to come to Him in a spirit of honor, adoration and worship. In response His invitation, His welcoming us into His courts and His continued revelation of His love for us, we need to tell him how highly we desire Him, how thankful we are for Him and how much He means to us. This praise flows out the heart surrendered to His rule. It is out of the abundance and depths of our hearts that this deep well of praise is released to Him. He in turn will pour out even more of His great love upon us and within us. He will continue to expand our capacity to receive and contain His love, drawing our hearts into a deep place weighty place of communion in His Presence.
Authority
As divine connection is taking place with the Lord, He is mantling us with higher levels of power and authority.
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Luke 10:19
He is revealing Himself as the King who desires His power to be revealed in us and through us. This is fresh anointing, fresh oil and power to break the yokes of the enemy off of our lives and the lives of others. It is the power of God unto salvation. It is also the power of God that enables us to live and fulfill the plans and purposes of God in the earth.
The Lord is going to expand the levels, range and the release of healing power through His Body. To those who yield themselves He will perform extraordinary miracles, signs and wonders. Through the yielded life, the soul that has become the habitation of God, His glory will be released in higher and higher measures!
Prophetic Sight
Just as the servant of Elisha’s eyes were opened to see in the spirit what God was doing, the Lord is going to be opening our eyes to see.
And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
2 Kings 6:15-18
Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. I believe that this not only applies to the future but the present. Those who don’t discover the place of purity and value that place will be blind to the things of God, also to God himself. But to those who discover and value the place of purity and intimacy with God, they will be those who enter into a place of greater spiritual vision and visitations of God.
Just as Jesus saw Nathaniel, that He was a man with no guile, He told him that he would “see” the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man. Those who prepare themselves in the place of intimacy and purity, guarding the eyes and ears, will also be those who see the King and experience His visitations at new levels.
Prosperity
It is God’s desire to prosper us in every area.
Let them shout for joy and be glad,
Psalm 35:27
Who favor my righteous cause;
And let them say continually,
“Let the LORD be magnified,
Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”
Everything we put our hand to is meant to prosper and will prosper as our hearts are consecrated to the Lord. As it reads above, the Lord loves to see His people prosper. He is going to fill us with fresh faith to prosper in all things. By hanging in the place of intimacy, hearing and absorbing His words into our spirit and releasing those words through our mouths we will enter into new places of prosperity in the Lord. Faith will be birthed in this place of intimacy. By beholding Him, having Him magnified in our eyes above all other things, we will receive fresh faith to move into the promise land that He has for us.
Favor
His favor is for a lifetime! And just as Esther came into the courts of the King, King Jesus extends the scepter of His divine favor to us.
And the king held out the golden scepter toward Esther.
Esther 8:4
David, the psalmist, desired His courts more than anything else. It is in this place that we encounter, receive and experience the favor of the King.
For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous;
Psalm 5:12
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
Just as we have access into the Holiest of All by the blood of Jesus so the intimate heart draws near to the King. So coming into His courts is the first step in moving to the place of His favor. All that is required is our coming into the courts of the King. If we come He will extend His the scepter of His favor toward us. This is where we can ask of Him and it shall be given. When our heart is connected with His, the life of His presence pulses back and forth to us. In this place of union with God, we move with His thoughts and desires and His favor is given.
