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

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.”

Holy Longing and Divine Encounter

At an unexpected time, a vision appeared before me, vivid and overwhelming, as if reality itself had given way to the unseen realm. I stood in a vast assembly, surrounded by believers who had gathered with one purpose—to seek the face of God. The air was thick with anticipation, a fragrance of sweet incense rising from the altar, mingling with the aroma of fresh anointing oil that began to flow freely, golden and fragrant, a symbol of the Spirit’s unrestrained presence.

As I breathed in, the scent of oil and incense filled my lungs, and I could feel the warmth of the fire burning deep within my chest. The atmosphere was alive with the sound of many voices, lifted in worship, but not the familiar songs of routine. These were new songs, birthed in the moment, raw and unfiltered, as if each word was being drawn directly from the wells of living water within their souls (John 7:38). The melodies intertwined with the wind that began to stir—soft at first, like a whisper through the trees, then building into a mighty rushing force that caused the very walls to tremble (Acts 2:2).

The ground beneath my feet shook, and I could feel the vibrations moving up through my legs, reverberating in my bones. It was as though the earth itself was responding to the presence of the Almighty. Suddenly, the wind became a torrent, swirling around the assembly, and with it came a fire—holy and fierce, yet not consuming. It descended from above, resting upon each head like tongues of flame, and with the fire came a heat that penetrated to the very core, igniting hearts with a passion that could not be quenched (Acts 2:3).

In the midst of this encounter with the Lord, I looked and saw those who had lived their entire Christian lives in the familiarity of routine, their eyes opening wide in astonishment. They had come expecting the usual—a service they could sleep through, a sermon they could predict, a worship they could endure. But now, they were confronted with the reality of a God who could not be contained by their expectations. The air around them shimmered with the weight of glory, so thick it felt like the very breath of God was filling their lungs.

As I continued to behold the scene, I saw twenty-four elders seated on thrones, clothed in white robes, with crowns of gold upon their heads. Their faces were filled with awe and reverence as they cast their crowns before the throne, crying out, “Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they existed and were created” (Revelation 4:10–11). Their voices joined with the sound of the cherubim and seraphim, who flew back and forth with wings covering their faces, crying out with voices that shook the heavens, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come” (Revelation 4:8).

The presence of the elders added to the solemnity of the moment, their worship serving as an example to the gathered assembly. The ground continued to tremble beneath their feet, and the room filled with a thick, fragrant smoke—like the smoke of incense rising before the throne of God. It obscured my vision, yet I could feel the nearness of the Lord, so close it was as if I could reach out and touch Him. The smoke carried with it the scent of burning coals, and I saw them—glowing, fiery coals being brought forth by an angel, who touched them to the lips of the people, purifying them, setting their words on fire with the holiness of God (Isaiah 6:6–7).

The heat of the coals seared through my senses, a holy pain that was at once cleansing and empowering. I felt the fire of God settle upon my heart, burning away every impurity, every doubt, leaving only a desperate hunger for more of Him. The wind of God filled my sails, propelling me forward into the depths of His presence, where time and space no longer mattered, only the reality of the living God who was making Himself known.

And then the Lord spoke, His voice like the sound of many waters, filling the place with a reverberation that shook the very foundations. “Behold, I am coming soon. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6). The words were a promise, a call to awaken from the slumber of routine, to taste and see that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8).

As the vision faded, I was left with an insatiable longing—a longing for the real Jesus, the One who cannot be confined by tradition or expectation, the One whose glory fills the temple, whose fire consumes every heart, whose wind carries us into the uncharted territories of His presence. And I knew, with a certainty that could not be shaken, that I needed this God more today than I did yesterday, and I would need Him even more tomorrow. For in this holy encounter, I had tasted the goodness of the Lord, and nothing else would ever satisfy.

A Call to the Lord

Oh, Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come, I call upon Your name. We stand before You, longing to see Your face, to experience Your unrestrained presence. Shake us from the slumber of routine, break through the walls of our expectations, and let Your glory fill our lives like never before. Let Your holy fire rest upon us, purifying our hearts, and let Your wind propel us into the depths of Your love and truth. We hunger and thirst for righteousness, knowing that only You can satisfy the longing of our souls.

Father, I pray that Your Spirit would flow freely among us, that the oil of Your anointing would pour over us, and that we would not settle for anything less than the fullness of Your presence. Fill us with the unexplainable glory of Your majesty, and let the cry of the seraphim and the worship of the elders be the cry of our hearts: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.” We need You, Lord, more today than we did yesterday, and we will need You even more tomorrow. Draw us closer to You, and let our lives be a testimony of Your unfathomable goodness.

In the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and King, we pray. Amen.

A Call to This Generation: Return to the Lord

Beloved, I write to you not as one who is distant, but as one who witnesses the light that has come into the world—the light that still shines in the darkness, which the darkness has not overcome. The Lord’s voice echoes through the ages, calling you to return to the Lord. Now is the time.

This generation has grown weary, entangled in the snares of routine and the comforts of complacency. You have known the form of godliness, yet you deny its power. Although you gather in His name, your hearts remain distant from the fire of His love. The Lord longs for you to draw near, to know Him not as a distant figure but as the living God who is close to all who call on Him in truth.

Do not be deceived by empty rituals that offer no life. The Lord desires more than outward expressions; He seeks your heart. As Scripture declares, “Return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning” (Joel 2:12). The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. He will not turn away from the one who seeks Him with a humble heart. Therefore, return to the Lord.

Oh generation, how long will you slumber in the comfort of predictability? How long will you be satisfied with shadows when the substance of His glory is within your reach? The Lord calls you to wake up, to shake off the dust of apathy, and to rise into the fullness of His light. The day is coming, and indeed it is here, when true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to worship Him (John 4:23).

You are the temple of the living God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you. How can you be content with anything less than His fullness? The Lord desires to fill His temple with His glory, to reveal His presence in your midst. “And the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle” (Exodus 40:34). He longs to fill your life with His unshakeable presence, to dwell among you as your God, and you as His people. Therefore, return to the Lord and experience His glory.

Let your heart be stirred. Let the coals of heaven touch your lips and purify your words. The Lord calls you to speak His truth with boldness. Let the fire of His Spirit ignite within you a passion that cannot be quenched, for He is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29). The Lord calls you to a deeper walk, a life where His Spirit guides every step, where His presence is your constant companion.

Do not delay, for the time is short. The Lord is near, and He calls you to return to the Lord with all your heart. Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near (Isaiah 55:6). He is faithful and just to forgive you, to cleanse you from all unrighteousness, and to fill you with His Spirit.

Beloved, this is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5). If you walk in the light, as He is in the light, you will have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies you from all sin (1 John 1:7). Return to the Lord, and He will make all things new.

Let your heart be stirred by the presence of God, for the seraphim and cherubim encircle His throne, crying out day and night, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come” (Revelation 4:8). Allow the coals of heaven to touch your lips and purify your words. Let the fire of God rest upon your heart and ignite within you a passion that cannot be quenched. The Lord is calling you into His holy presence, where the angels declare His glory and where His Spirit fills you with life and light.

Let this be the cry of your heart: “Lord, I need You more today than I did yesterday. I am desperate, I am hungry, and I long for the real Jesus. Come, Lord, fill me with Your Spirit, fill me with Your fire, and let Your glory rest upon me.” Amen.

Visions

Return to the Cross

Beloved, in the stillness of the night, a vision was given to me, one that carried the weight of ages past and the urgency of this very moment. I was taken to a vast and desolate landscape, where the ground was scorched, and the remnants of broken altars lay scattered across the earth. The sky above was dark, a heavy shroud pressing down upon the land, as if mourning the faith that had once burned brightly but now flickered like a dying flame.

Before me stood the remnant—God’s people, the ones who have been called out, yet now find themselves weary and disillusioned. Their faces were marked with the sorrow of long journeys, their eyes dimmed by the fading light of hope. They wandered far from their first love, burdened by the weight of the world, entangled in the cares of this life. But then, beloved, the voice of the Lord came, urgent and clear, calling you back to your purpose.

In the midst of their wandering, a voice like the sound of many waters called out, reverberating through the heavens and the earth, a voice filled with both sorrow and steadfast love.

“Return to the cross!” the voice cried, and in that moment, the darkness above began to shift. A single beam of light pierced through the clouds, illuminating a distant hill where a solitary cross stood. The cross, old and rugged, bore the marks of sacrifice—the blood of the Lamb, shed once for all (Hebrews 10:10). The light of the cross shone like a beacon in the night, calling the remnant back to the place where their journey had begun.

Beloved, the time is now. This is the hour to which you have been called, for you were called for such a time as this (Esther 4:14). The days of slumber are over. It is time to awaken and engage in the work that God has set before you.

The voice called again, more insistent this time, resonating in the depths of their souls:

“Remember the price that was paid, the blood that was shed for your redemption!” The words hung in the air, and I saw the people pause, their hearts stirred by the memory of their Savior, the One who bore their sins in His body on the cross, that they might die to sin and live to righteousness (1 Peter 2:24). The One who said, “It is finished” (John 19:30), now calls them back to Himself. Awaken, O remnant, for the hour is at hand!

As the remnant began to turn their eyes toward the cross, the landscape around them started to change. The broken altars began to tremble, and from the ashes, new altars of worship began to rise. The scent of incense, pure and holy, filled the air as the people fell to their knees in repentance. The bitterness of sin and the sting of compromise were washed away as they knelt before the cross, their hearts broken open in worship and surrender.

“Return to Me with all your heart,” the voice continued, gentle yet filled with authority. “For you have been bought with a price; you are not your own” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). “Come back to the place of your first love, to the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9).

Beloved, the time is now. The days are short, and the night is far spent. You were called for such a time as this. Do not delay, for the Lord’s work is at hand, and His call to you is urgent. Awaken and engage in the mission He has given you.

The voice then anchored the vision in the words of Christ, words that had echoed through the ages and now resounded with renewed urgency:

“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).

And as these words were spoken, the cross began to radiate with an even greater light, filling the entire landscape. The darkness that had once enveloped the land fled before the brilliance of the cross, and the remnant, now united in their return, stood together in the light of His glory. Their chains fell away, and the burdens that had weighed them down were lifted, as the power of the cross renewed their strength and restored their joy.

Beloved, the vision did not end with the cross alone, but with a promise—a promise that echoes in the hearts of the remnant as they stand together, their eyes fixed on the One who has called them.

“I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20), the voice declared, and the remnant knew that they were not alone. The Lord of all creation, the risen Christ, walks with them, leading them forward, not just to the cross, but beyond it—into the resurrection life, into the mission that lies ahead.

The vision fades, but the call remains: Return to the cross, O remnant of God. Remember the sacrifice, remember the Savior, and come back to your first love. The time is now. The world may have drawn you away, the cares of life may have burdened you, but the cross still stands, its power undiminished, its promise unbroken. You were called for such a time as this. Return, and be renewed. Return, and be restored. Awaken and engage, and find your rest in the One who loved you and gave Himself for you (Galatians 2:20).

The cross is your anchor, the resurrection your hope, and the return of your Savior your assurance. Stand firm, O remnant, and let your hearts be steadfast, for He who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23). The time is now. Return to the cross, and behold the glory of the risen Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come (Revelation 1:8). Amen.

Arise 2

A Call to Awaken the Remnant

Beloved,

In these latter days, as the shadows lengthen and the hearts of many grow cold, we, the cherished of the Lord, must heed the call to awaken. For the Holy One of Israel has always preserved a remnant—a faithful few who hold fast to His covenant and walk in His ways. This is not a time for slumber, but for vigilance and fervent devotion.

The prophet Isaiah spoke of this remnant, saying, “Now in that day, the remnant of Israel, and those of the house of Jacob who have escaped, will never again rely on the one who struck them, but will truly rely on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. For though your people, O Israel, may be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant within them will return; the destruction is determined, overflowing with justice” (Isaiah 10:20-22 AMP).

Even now, as in the days of old, there is a remnant, chosen by grace. Paul the Apostle affirmed this truth, writing, “So too at the present time there is a remnant [a small believing minority], selected [chosen] by grace [God’s unmerited favor and graciousness]” (Romans 11:5 AMP).

And the prophet Joel declared, “And it shall come about that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as the Lord has said, even among the remnant [of survivors] whom the Lord calls” (Joel 2:32 AMP).

Beloved, we are that remnant, chosen not for our worthiness, but by the unsearchable grace of our Lord. This sacred calling is a trust, a divine mandate to be His light in the encroaching darkness, to be the salt that preserves His truth and love.

Let us, therefore, arise and fulfill our calling:

1. Renew Our Commitment: Draw near to the Lord with sincere hearts, deepening our communion through prayer, worship, and the diligent study of His Word. Let us be vigilant, steadfast in our faith.

2. Stand for Righteousness: In a world where the lines of morality are blurred, we must stand unyielding upon the foundation of God’s truth. Let us be voices crying out in the wilderness, heralds of His righteousness.

3. Proclaim the Gospel: With boldness and love, let us declare the good news of Jesus Christ. For the harvest is plentiful, and the time is short. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

4. Support One Another: As members of this sacred remnant, let us strengthen and encourage one another in love and unity. Together, we are stronger, more resilient against the trials we face.

5. Intercede for the World: Let us lift our prayers before the throne of grace, interceding for our nations, leaders, and communities. Our fervent prayers can bring revival and transformation by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Beloved, now is the time to awaken. Rise up and fulfill the holy calling that has been placed upon you. The Lord our God is with us, and His grace is sufficient for every need. Let us be the remnant that shines His light and advances His kingdom upon the earth.

Behold, the Day is Coming: Prepare for the Glory of God

Behold, the day is coming when God’s glory will shine in its fullness, and every eye will witness the splendor of His grace. The Lord is near, drawing close to His people, preparing hearts for a divine renewal and transformation.

God’s Spirit is Moving Powerfully

The Word of God declares: “I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions” (Joel 2:28, AMP). This is a season of awakening. God is stirring hearts with holy fire—a fire that ignites passion for His name and fuels His purpose in His people.

In this moment, the call is clear: “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you” (Isaiah 60:1, AMP). The time to shake off spiritual complacency has arrived. Cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light (Romans 13:12). The night is passing, and the dawn of God’s kingdom draws near.

The Church Must Stand Firm

You are part of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, called to declare His praises (1 Peter 2:9). The world needs your light, now more than ever. Jesus reminds us, “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16, AMP).

Stay watchful, beloved, for Jesus promises: “I am with you always, [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance], even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20, AMP). He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End (Revelation 1:8). His Word will not fail; it will accomplish His perfect will (Isaiah 55:11).

Keep Your Lamps Burning

As the Bridegroom approaches, Jesus warns us to remain prepared: “Be on the alert [stay awake and watch], for you do not know which day your Lord is coming” (Matthew 24:42, AMP). Do not let the distractions of this world dim your focus. Keep your lamps burning bright with unwavering faith. Encourage one another and build each other up (1 Thessalonians 5:11), for the days are short and evil abounds.

The King of Glory is Coming

Rejoice, for the King of Glory is coming with power and majesty! Scripture declares: “Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in” (Psalm 24:7, AMP). The King is faithful, and His promises endure forever.

Let your life be a testimony to His unfailing love. Stand firm in hope, grounded in His truth, and filled with His peace. As you eagerly await His return, live each day in surrender to His will, declaring boldly, “Come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20).

A Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father, prepare our hearts for Your glory. Stir within us a holy passion for Your presence. Teach us to stand firm in faith, to shine as lights in a dark world, and to remain watchful for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. May our lives reflect Your love and truth, now and forever. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Focusing on God’s promises, keeping our lamps burning, and standing firm will prepare us for the day of His glory.
