I am excited about what might happen in the teaching I am giving at this meeting because of what happened a few minutes after deciding to have the meeting. The Light of His Glory began to emanate from my face. I looked in the mirror and said to my assistant Elizabeth, “I am so white! I wish I had known that before I said I would do the meeting for sure.” When I get that white, I need to be in bed. Just then, I realized the Glory of the Lord was shining from my face and cried out: “Oh my goodness, this is not just my face. God’s glory is shining from my face!” It was shining through my face about four to five inches. I tried to describe to Elizabeth what I was experiencing as I looked in the mirror, and it happened four more times; I saw the Light of His Glory shining from my face. Thus, I knew He had a Divine purpose for us to be together this afternoon. Later as I sat in our meeting room, my colleague Darrell arrived. I shared with him what had happened. He responded by telling me that he knew on Monday that this staff meeting was not optional by the Lord’s will. He knew God spoke to him that our meeting had to happen today and prayed against the obstacles that may arise. He felt he was supposed to pray that there would be no cancellation of the meeting.

We have lots of confirmation that God is here. Even though we may have fought to get here, our Lord has a reason for us being here together.

I have been crying the tears of the Spirit all afternoon. I was editing something I taught in New Orleans. As I was editing, the Spirit of God was upon me so strong. I just kept weeping. I have held back the tears since I have been out here. He also compelled my tears over the passage I will bring to you.

The Lord allows me to feel His heart concerning a matter which usually brings floods of tears, either for joy or sorrow. Or, I begin to feel Heaven’s heart over the issue. I may also begin to experience another aspect of the revelation of God’s love for the Person of Jesus Christ and how He feels about the revelation that He is giving to the world through His Church. This last experience became real this afternoon as the Lord revealed His message.

I was Spiritually in Israel! In my experience, I saw Jesus walking around giving His messages wherever they settled in, and God’s wonder in His heart over being able to reveal Himself, His purpose, His plans through the Person of Jesus Christ. It meant so much to the Father. Since our Father and Jesus agreed upon the Divine purpose of the revelation of His sacrifice in Christ, our Father has waited to grant this revelation to the world with an intense passion. It meant so much to Him. As He would look upon our Lord, the joy of the Father’s heart was in every step, word, revelation, and moment of our Lord’s life. It brought Him so much joy to reveal the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom that He was sending to earth, and the Kingdom that would be on earth in the reign of Christ, and further the whole issue of His vision of the Kingdom. This is beautiful! But, it hurts so divinely. The Father looked upon our Lord seeking to reveal Him to the Jewish race and the people of the earth. I saw that through His eyes He sees His Kingdom stretched out over the whole earth. The Father sees the years, joy, battles, and sufferings that He, Jesus, and everyone who would be a part of His Kingdom would have to go through to reclaim the earth for His Kingdom. While He feels sadness here for the suffering, He feels gladness for the fruit and its fruitfulness of His holy Kingdom through the Son. As the Word says:

To be continued next week…
