"After this I looked,
and there in heaven a door stood open! And the first voice, which I had heard
speaking to me like a trumpet, said, 'Come up here, and I will show you what
must take place after this.' At once, I was in the Spirit, and there in heaven
was a throne, with One seated on the throne!" (Revelation 4:1-2)
We've "come up here" to
Alaska for two weeks of ministry and adventure near the top of the world. I've
never been this far north before. And I've also never seen such heavenly beauty
on earth before. Snow-covered peaks, stretching high above the clouds and
overlooking the rugged beauty of lush green trees and deep blue waters, leave us
breathless at the majesty and grandeur of Your creation.
Lord, open our eyes to
see Your beauty in the nature of the land and in the nature of Your people here
in this high place on the earth. Like John, let us hear Your voice and see with
Your eyes what You are doing. Give us Your words of encouragement and comfort to
come alongside the Body and Bride of Christ in this region of the world.
Give us great expectant
faith to see You healing the broken, freeing the captives, and preparing the way
of the Lord in the hearts of Your people. Let us see the beauty of Your
holiness, as You minister Your freedom and healing from the inside out in the
hearts of Your children. Let us "come up here" to encounter Your Presence and
experience Your power through the healing love of God in this high and heavenly
place. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
Be encouraged today! In
the Love of Jesus, Tommy
