In the heavens, I saw the throne of God surrounded by a great cloud of incense, rising like a sweet fragrance. It was the prayers of the humble—those who wept in secret, those who cried out for mercy, and those who longed for the presence of the Lord with all their hearts. Their prayers carried the essence of brokenness, repentance, and surrender, and they ascended together, joined as one voice, to the One who hears the cries of His people.

Then I saw the Lord reach down with His hand and gather the incense. It glowed like molten gold, alive with power and holiness. With His divine authority, He forged it into a sword, brilliant and blazing with fire. Its edge gleamed with the truth of His Word, and its hilt was engraved with the prayers of His saints, woven together in unity. The sword pulsed with a living light, and as it was completed, the Spirit of the Lord spoke:

“This is the Sword of Revival. It is forged from the prayers of the repentant, sanctified by My holiness, and empowered by My Spirit. It shall go forth to shatter the chains of darkness, break the strongholds of sin, and pierce the hearts of the lost. Only the humble and united shall wield it, for My glory rests upon those who are one as I am one with the Father.” The Sword of Revival is a testament to the power of unified prayer.

The Lord extended the sword to the remnant—those who had laid down their pride, turned from their sin, and sought Him with all their hearts. I saw them not as scattered individuals, but as a body, joined together in love and purpose. They took the sword with trembling hands, their voices lifted as one, crying, “Come, Lord Jesus! Reign in us and through us!” A voice like rushing waters called out, “Go now, for the hour of revival is at hand. Lift up the sword, proclaim My Word, and let My Spirit flow through you!”

And I saw the remnant arise, moving in unity, their steps guided by the Spirit, their voices filled with boldness. Wherever they lifted the Sword of Revival, rivers of living water flowed before them. The water surged into dry, cracked lands, bringing life where there had been death. Deserts bloomed, trees of righteousness took root, and their fruit brought healing to the nations. The fragrance of life filled the air, mingling with the sound of angelic shofars that echoed across the heavens, announcing the glory of the Lord.

As the sword moved, chains fell from captives, strongholds crumbled, and blind eyes were opened. The remnant cried aloud, “Repent and return to the Lord, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love!” (Joel 2:13, AMP). Multitudes came, weeping in repentance, drawn by the Spirit. The fire of revival ignited in hearts, spreading like a holy blaze that could not be quenched. The Sword of Revival played a central role in this awakening.

I saw the remnant gather together in prayer, their hands lifted not for themselves, but for one another. They cried out, “Lord, make us one, as You and the Father are one! Let there be no division among us, but unite us in Your Spirit, that the world may see Your glory!” Their unity became a beacon, shining brightly in the darkness, and the Spirit poured out in fullness. Fires of revival ignited across cities, counties, and nations as the people of God moved as one body under one King with the Sword of Revival.

The heavens resounded as the Lord proclaimed: “This is the hour of My great outpouring! Let those who have ears to hear, repent. Humble yourselves before Me, love one another, and I will heal your land. My rivers will not cease, and My fire will not be quenched. The sword is ready, but only the surrendered and the united can wield it.”

To you, dear reader, hear this call: The Lord is extending the Sword of Revival to His people. But it is not given lightly. Lay down your pride, your sin, your idols, and even your offenses. Humble yourself before Him and seek unity with the saints. Let your prayers rise as incense, and let Him forge in you a vessel for His glory. The Spirit is moving, the time is now, and the call is clear—repent, unite, and let His glory flow through you. Will you take up the call and wield the Sword of Revival?

Prayer:

Father, we come before You with broken and contrite hearts. We repent of our sins and lay down our pride. Forgive us for the divisions among us, and teach us to love one another as You have loved us. Cleanse us, Lord, and make us one body, united in purpose and filled with Your Spirit. Take our prayers, our tears, and our surrender, and forge them into instruments for Your glory. Let Your living water flow through us, breaking chains, healing hearts, and igniting revival with the power of the Sword of Revival. Use us to bring life to the barren places, and let Your glory cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

A Vision of Pursuit: The Call of the Holy One

January 13, 2025 warren

And I looked, and behold, a great and radiant throne, high and lifted up, and One sat upon it whose glory filled the heavens. His face shone like the brilliance of the sun, and from His throne flowed rivers of fire and living water, rushing with life and power. Around Him was an innumerable multitude, crying out with a single voice, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!”

Then I heard the voice of the Lamb, like the roar of many waters, calling to the earth, saying, “Awaken, My beloved! Return to Me, for I am your Creator, your First Love, the One who formed you and called you by name. Come to Me, all who are weary, all who thirst for righteousness, all who hunger for life. Seek Me, not for the works of My hands, but for the beauty of My face. Pursue Me with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, for I am near.”

And the Spirit said, “See now what happens when the beloved awaken to His call and return to their Lord.”

I saw the saints arise, their spirits ignited like flames. They cast aside every weight, every chain, and every distraction that had held them captive. Their hearts burned with longing, their eyes fixed on the Lamb. As they awakened to Him and returned to their First Love, I saw the veil of this world torn away. The noise of the earth grew faint, and the burdens they carried dissolved like mist in the light of His glory. The Spirit declared, “Return to Me, for I have redeemed you” (Isaiah 44:22), and “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom”(2 Corinthians 3:17).

Then I beheld the Lamb as He stepped down from His throne, His robes shimmering with the light of heaven. His arms stretched wide, and His voice thundered, “Awaken and return to Me: Be released!” At His word, chains shattered, fear fled, and darkness was swallowed up in His radiance. His people, clothed in garments of white, pressed forward into His presence, crying out, “You alone are worthy! You are our desire!”

And I saw signs and wonders break forth, not because the people sought them, but because they sought Him. Healing flowed like rivers, washing over the nations. Hearts were mended, bodies restored, and the weary were renewed. But their eyes never left the Lamb, for they pursued not the miracles, but the Miracle Worker. The Spirit declared, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied” (Matthew 5:6).

The saints fell before His throne, consumed by the beauty of His presence. They sang, “Whom have we in heaven but You? And besides You, we desire nothing on earth” (Psalm 73:25). The distractions of the world melted away, and all that remained was the fullness of joy in His presence.

And the Lamb turned His face toward them, and I heard Him say, “Well done, My beloved. You have awakened and returned to Me with all your heart. Enter now into the joy of your Lord, for I have prepared a place for you.”

Then the Spirit cried out, “Awaken, O children of God! Return to the Holy One who loves you with an everlasting love. Seek not what He gives, but who He is. Cast aside every weight, and run to the One who is worthy of all devotion.”

And I beheld the heavens resounding with the cry of the redeemed, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty!”

Will you answer the call, beloved? Awaken. Return. He is waiting for you. Run to Him.

Prayer of Awakening and Return

Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, recognizing that we have allowed the distractions of this world to cloud our vision of You. We confess that we have often sought Your hand more than Your face, and we ask for Your forgiveness. Lord, awaken our hearts to the beauty of who You are. Stir within us a holy desire to return to You, our First Love, and to seek You with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength.

Father, we thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, whose blood has opened the way for us to enter Your presence. We thank You that through Him, every chain is broken, every burden lifted, and every sin forgiven. Lord, we pray that You would draw us closer to Yourself. Remove the distractions that vie for our attention and fix our eyes on You, the author and finisher of our faith.

Help us to hunger and thirst for righteousness, to pursue You not for what You can give, but for who You are. Teach us to delight in Your presence and to rest in the assurance of Your unfailing love. May Your Spirit fill us with boldness, freedom, and joy as we step into the fullness of life You have called us to live.

Lord, we pray for revival in our hearts, our homes, and our communities. Awaken Your people to the truth of Your Word. Call us back to You, O God, and set our hearts on fire for Your kingdom. May Your glory fill the earth as Your people rise to proclaim Your greatness.

We surrender all that we are to You today, Lord. Take our lives, our hopes, and our dreams, and use them for Your glory. May we be vessels of Your love, shining Your light in a world that so desperately needs You.

We love You, Lord, and we long to know You more. Awaken us. Draw us back to You. And let Your name be praised forever and ever. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

The Call to Joy: Rejecting the Lies and Embracing God’s Truth

October 29, 2024 warren

Throughout Scripture, God reminds us that His will for us is to be filled with joy, peace, and wholeness. Often, we find ourselves weighed down by negative words spoken over us, whether by parents, friends, or others who may not realize the power of their words. These words can be like curses, shaping our minds to believe we are less than who God says we are. But God does not call you to live under the weight of such words. Instead, He calls you to shake off the lies and live in the fullness of His promises.

The Bible speaks clearly about the power of words. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit” (Proverbs 18:21 AMP). Words can either build us up or tear us down. Sadly, when words of discouragement like “You’re dumb,” “You’re ugly,” or “You’ll never amount to anything” are spoken over us, they can create strongholds in our minds that hinder us from stepping into the life God has for us. However, these words do not define who we are. Only God’s truth does.

Shaking Off the Lies

The enemy wants us to believe that we are bound by the words spoken over us. He wants us to feel inadequate, unloved, and hopeless. Yet, the Word of God declares that we are not victims of our past. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]” (2 Corinthians 5:17 AMP). We must recognize that when we are in Christ, we are no longer subject to the curses others may have spoken over us. We are children of God, free and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live out His truth.

Jesus Himself came to set us free. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the good news to the poor. He has sent Me to announce release (pardon, forgiveness) to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed (downtrodden, bruised, crushed by tragedy)” (Luke 4:18 AMP). This freedom is not just from sin, but from every form of oppression, including the emotional and mental chains created by the hurtful words of others.

Breaking Free from Abuse

One of the most devastating lies the enemy whispers into the hearts of many women is that they deserve the abuse they are suffering. Whether it is physical, emotional, or verbal abuse, no one is called to endure such pain. Some women trapped in these situations are told by their abusers—or even believe themselves—that they are unworthy of love or that they are at fault. This is a lie from the enemy, designed to keep them bound in cycles of hurt.

God does not desire for anyone to live in fear or in pain. He speaks clearly about the treatment of His beloved children: “For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11 AMP). His heart is for healing, restoration, and wholeness, not for abuse or harm.

Abuse, in all its forms, is a violation of God’s design for relationships. Women who suffer in silence, believing they deserve the pain, need to hear the truth: You are loved beyond measure, and you are precious in His sight. In His eyes, you are worthy of dignity, respect, and love.

The Bible speaks directly to the protection of the oppressed. “The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble” (Psalm 9:9 AMP). If you are in a situation where you are being harmed, God is calling you to safety and healing. You do not deserve to be mistreated, and God longs to deliver you from the hands of those who harm you. You are His child, and He will shelter you under His wings.

The Path to Wholeness

God does not call us to settle for brokenness or unhappiness. He calls us to wholeness in Him. “I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]” (John 10:10 AMP). This abundant life includes joy, peace, and love. God’s plan for us is not to live burdened by the words of others or trapped in abusive situations. He wants us to live free in His truth, knowing that we are His treasured possession.

A Call to the Lord

For those who have never experienced the love of God, you may have been living under the weight of others’ expectations, lies, or even abuse. But today, God is calling you into His embrace. He offers you a new life—free from the burdens you’ve been carrying, free from the lies you’ve believed. Jesus came to bring you hope, to restore your heart, and to offer you eternal life through faith in Him.

The Bible says, “For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16 AMP). God’s love for you is immense, and He invites you to receive the gift of His salvation through Jesus Christ. You don’t have to live in despair or carry the weight of brokenness any longer. Jesus is calling you to be made whole.

A Prayer for New Life

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You today, recognizing that we are in need of Your love and grace. There are those here today who have been weighed down by the lies spoken over them, believing they are unworthy of love or happiness. But we know that You offer us freedom in Christ, freedom from the chains of our past, and freedom from the hurtful words that have bound us.

Lord, I pray for those who are not yet believers, those who have not yet known the joy of walking with You. Touch their hearts today. Open their eyes to see that You have only good things in store for them. You have a future of hope, a life of abundance waiting for them. May they turn to You, Lord, and find peace in Your presence.

We pray for those who have been victims of abuse, Lord. Heal their broken hearts. Help them to see that they are precious in Your sight, that they do not deserve the pain they’ve endured. Let them know that You are their refuge, their strong tower in times of trouble.

Father, we thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins and to offer us eternal life. I pray now for anyone who is ready to accept Jesus as their Savior: that they would confess their sins, believe in their heart that Jesus is Lord, and receive the gift of new life.

Lord, we know that You call us to live in the joy of Your salvation, and I pray that each person here today would experience that joy, that peace, and that wholeness in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you have prayed this prayer today and invited Jesus into your life, know that God has begun a new work in you. He promises to never leave you nor forsake you, and His plans for you are good. He calls you to a life of joy and fullness in Him.

The Vision

I see the Lord, descending from the heavens, clothed in radiant light, His eyes burning with an indescribable love for His beloved. As He steps into the midst of your pain and burdens, His presence fills the air like the sweetest fragrance, overwhelming every fear and silencing every lie. His voice, like the sound of rushing waters, calls your name with tenderness, saying, “You are Mine, cherished beyond measure.”

He reaches out, and with a gentle touch, every weight falls away. His robe, the train of which fills the earth with His glory, wraps around you, and you are made whole. No longer bound by the lies of the past, you are lifted into the light of His truth. In this moment, you are held by the One who knows you fully and loves you beyond comprehension. He whispers, “You are precious in My sight. I am making all things new.”

Then, with eyes full of joy, He takes your hand, the One who made the heavens and the earth. Together, you begin to dance—every step drawing you deeper into His heart, every movement healing wounds you thought would never fade. As you spin in His embrace, your eyes are opened to a heavenly sight: the angelic hosts surrounding you, majestic and mighty, standing guard with swords of fire. These are the ones He has placed around you to protect and defend you.

In this sacred dance, you realize you are never alone. The Creator of all rejoices over you, and His angels encamp around you. His love shields you, His presence fills you, and you are safe in His arms, cherished for all eternity.

Vision of God’s Glory

October 16, 2024 warren

Behold the vision, glorious and overwhelming, as the Almighty sits enthroned in radiant majesty. His throne gleams like sapphire, His form surrounded by fire that pulses with life. Flames rise around Him, yet the heat is not one of fear but of warmth—inviting, like the hearth of a loving Father’s home. His glory fills the space, so bright you can scarcely look upon Him, yet you feel drawn to Him, as though if you could just reach out, your hand might touch the hem of His robe (Malachi 4:2). The light surrounds you, not consuming but embracing, a tangible reminder that He is not distant—He is here, with you (Deuteronomy 31:6).

His voice thunders through the air like the roar of many waters, commanding awe and reverence, but beneath its power, there is a gentleness, a call that pulls at your heart (Revelation 1:15). “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,” the seraphim cry, their wings trembling at His presence, but your spirit knows He calls not only them but also you (Isaiah 6:3, Revelation 4:8). His voice echoes deep within, a Father beckoning His children to come closer (John 10:27). The ground trembles beneath your feet, but you are not shaken. The whole earth is filled with His glory (Habakkuk 2:14), yet He is close, as near as the breath you draw (Acts 17:27).

The air is thick with the scent of incense, rising with the prayers of the saints, and as it swirls around you, it carries a sense of peace, as though the very fragrance of His presence assures you that you are not alone (Revelation 5:8). You are standing on holy ground (Exodus 3:5), yet the fear that once gripped you dissolves in the presence of His love (1 John 4:18). The fire that burns before His throne does not consume—it cleanses, making a way for you to come near (Isaiah 6:6-7), to be close to the One who knows you by name (Isaiah 43:1).

His gaze, like flames of fire, pierces through the depths of your soul (Revelation 1:14), yet there is no condemnation, only a Father’s love (Romans 8:1). His eyes see everything—every hidden corner, every unspoken thought—and still, He calls you to come (Psalm 139:1-3). You feel His nearness, like a protective presence beside you (Psalm 91:1-2), guiding you, comforting you. The weight of His glory presses down upon you, but it is not crushing—it is the comforting embrace of a Father who holds His child close (Isaiah 40:11).

You long to reach out, to touch Him, for His presence feels so near, so real. Though His throne is high and lifted up, He is not far away. He is the loving Father who walks with His children (Isaiah 41:10). He stands by your side, even in the midst of His majesty, His hand always outstretched toward you. And in that moment, you know, with a certainty deeper than anything you have ever known, that He will never leave you, never forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

And then, as suddenly as it began, the vision fades. The fire that burned so brightly, the throne that stood high and exalted, the radiant light that filled the heavens—all begins to dim. Yet, though your eyes no longer see, you know that His presence remains. The roar of many waters quiets, the voices of the seraphim fall still, and the trembling of the earth beneath your feet ceases.

But the peace lingers, a deep and abiding assurance that the One who was, who is, and who is to come still reigns. His majesty, His power, and His love are not confined to the vision—they are everlasting. The glory of the Lord endures forever, and His hand remains outstretched toward you, guiding you, calling you, walking with you through every shadow and every light.

As the vision closes, you are left standing, filled with awe, but also with a profound sense of hope. The One seated on the throne is not far off—He is near. He is your Father, and His kingdom will never end.

“He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming quickly.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.”

(Revelation 22:20-21)

The Call to the Father’s Embrace: A Vision of Heavenly Love

October 11, 2024 warren

As I stood in the stillness of my room, a voice like thunder yet tender broke through the quiet: “Come up here.” My heart raced as I recognized the call of the Lord. In an instant, the room around me dissolved, and I was transported to a place beyond the natural. The air became thick with the fragrance of heaven—sweet as incense and fresh like the morning mist. I stood at the threshold of the Almighty’s throne room.

Before me, the Throne of God radiated a light brighter than the sun, but it did not blind me. Surrounding the throne were living creatures, their voices continually echoing, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come.” Their song filled the atmosphere, vibrating through every part of my being.

Overwhelmed, I fell to the ground, my face against the glassy sea beneath the throne. Every sense was alive with the presence of God. My soul responded in worship, as though created for this very moment. Words of adoration flowed from my lips, and I was completely overtaken by the majesty of the One seated on the throne.

In the midst of my worship, His voice called again, softer yet powerful: “Come up here.” Though I feared the holiness before me, His love drew me forward. My legs trembled as I rose and approached the steps leading to the throne.

As I neared, the King of Kings rose from His seat, His glory filling every corner of heaven. He extended His hand towards me, and with a tender touch, lifted my chin, causing my eyes to meet His. His gaze was both fiery and gentle, overflowing with love.

“Come up here, my son,” He spoke once more. With ease, He lifted me and placed me on His lap. The peace of God enveloped me in a way I had never experienced. I rested my head on His chest, listening to the eternal rhythm of His heartbeat.

He began to speak—not just to me but over me. “You are My child,” He declared. “I have called you by name. No weapon formed against you will prosper. You will walk in My strength, for I am with you, and I go before you.”

His words breathed life into me, filling every part of my soul. “You will rise with wings like eagles,” He continued, “run and not grow weary, walk and not faint. I have set you apart for My purpose. You are My chosen, and through you, the nations will be blessed.”

As His words enveloped me, they became a song. His voice, filled with love, sang over me. “My beloved,” He sang, “you are Mine, and I am yours. Before the foundations of the world, I knew you. Nothing can separate you from My love.”

His hands, resting gently on me, moved in rhythm with His song. “You are the apple of My eye,” He continued, “My delight and joy. When you rise, I rise with you. My love is deeper than the seas, higher than the heavens.”

The song swirled around me, lifting me higher, pulling me deeper into His love. As the melody faded, His final words lingered in my heart: “Rest, My beloved child.”

When I awoke, it was morning, and I was back in my bed. But the memory of His love song was still fresh, the warmth of His presence remaining in my soul. I rose, ready to face the day, His words still echoing: “Come up here, My beloved.”

A Vision of the Bridegroom’s Joy

October 4, 2024 warren

I was carried away in the Spirit last night, and the heavens opened before me, revealing a magnificent sight. Jesus, the Bridegroom, stood before His radiant Bride, His Church, in all His glory. His face was like the sun, His eyes like flames of fire, and His voice echoed through the heavens like the sound of rushing waters. Yet, within that power was a tenderness, a love that filled the atmosphere. The fragrance of His presence was sweet, like myrrh and spices, and the air shimmered with His glory.

Then I heard it—a song. It was not just any song, but a love song, flowing from the very heart of the Bridegroom to His Bride. As He sang, the whole of creation seemed to lean in, captivated by the melody. His voice was deep, rich with the anointing of heaven, filled with the love of Jesus for His Church. Every note carried a weight of glory, and the sound wrapped around His Bride like a garment of pure love.

In the hush of early morning, when the world is still asleep,
Feel the brush of My affection, like the wind upon your cheek.
Let the golden rays of sunrise paint My love across your skies,
Hear the songbirds serenading, it’s My call to you, arise.

As He sang, I saw the Bride standing still, her eyes fixed upon her Groom. The sun began to rise behind her, its golden rays painting the sky with hues of His love. The morning air was still, but the soft breeze carried the whispers of His affection. The birds began to sing, joining in the melody, a call for the Bride to awaken, to arise into His love. The atmosphere was electric with His presence, and the earth seemed to tremble with joy.
