I just woke up a from an encounter in the Lord, and I saw Him taking a person and as His light hit them. It became like a laser beam, hitting them and carving them every second of every day! And I heard Him say… “What you are now is only a template of what I AM continually making you to be, and as you walk in the light as I am in the light you are becoming new every moment of every day. I AM continually causing you to come closer to being like My Son as you walk in that light and this walking requires your faith that works by love…..”

“But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light,as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]” 1 John 1:7 “(AMP).

He said, “As we walk in Love we are covered in this light” … I heard someone speaking on blood being made up of light particles once, and as the Lord was speaking this scripture to me it came to me that if we are covered in the Blood as we walk in love then we are covered in the light of God! (Isaiah 60:1) Oh Glory to God! This is why Enoch walked with God and was not! The Lord showed me once that as he walked with God that the light just consumed Him and he just disappeared into the Glory!

TIME TO ENTER HIS REST BECAUSE IT IS ALREADY FINISHED

I must get this out before I go back to sleep. God was also showing me in my night vision a person scanning food at the grocery store. When you do this now there is some kind of technology that gets the information from what you buy and collects it and suddenly you will go to the store and it will give you a receipt that will have coupons on it that are tailor made just for you.

YOUR STORY (His-Story) WAS ALREADY WRITTEN IN HIS BOOK

I know this is going to sound strange, but the Lord showed me this scene and then spoke the scripture in Matthew 6:8 (AMP) “Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him” and then this scripture in Psalm 139:16.

“Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them.”

See God has all of your information stored because your story was already written in His book! He said that you were picked out in Christ before the foundation of the world and that He knows what you have need of to fulfill your destiny in Him! Ephesians 1:4 (AMP)

“Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world.”

THIS IS THE YEAR TO ENTER HIS REST THROUGH WORSHIPING HIM FOR WHAT IS ALREADY FINISHED!

So then He was showing me that this is the year of the Shmita which is a sabbatical year – or year of resting from our own works. And just like He knows what we have need of because our information was already written in His book, so should we rest in the fact that He will supply it even before we ask.

In other words. Trust in the finished work of Christ and know that His will is going to take place in your life! Rest in this, He will give you the right coupons (Keys) to unlock your future because He knows what you need to get there. Oh, I hope somebody is understanding this. There is fresh revelation in this for me and for those that will understand it. This is why He said pray this way:

”Thy kingdom come thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven” Matthew 6:10.

THE REAPER OVERTAKING THE SOWER

Lastly the Lord spoke this scripture in my dream.

“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine and all the hills shall melt [that is, everything heretofore barren and unfruitful shall overflow with spiritual blessing]” Amos 9:13 (AMP).

But you see two scriptures before that the Lord said that He was rebuilding the Tabernacle of David in that day. That tabernacle was 24/7 worship and caused Israel to win every battle!

The Lord is showing us that as we come into the rest of God this year by just worshiping Him for what is already finished and what is already written in His book, that the harvest will be great! He is going to supply all that we need for it as we “trust Him that He knows what we have need of even before we ask.”

We are going to begin to see those that we have prayed for come into the Kingdom after many years of what seemed like struggle and hopelessness. But as we come from this place of rest it will seem like we just planted seed and the reaping will be easy because we have taken off our yoke and put on His which is light and easy!

Oh glory to God! Yes, this year will be met by much turmoil but for those that come up into His rest it is going to be a glorious time! It is the time that the Angels have longed to look upon!
