Today I received a word from the Lord. He was talking about places. It started by saying the “I has prepared a place for you.”This was followed by “have you prepared a place for me?” What a thought. Have we prepared a place for him. This place is in our heart. He wants to dwell in us. Not just be an after thought. He is not one to force himself on people. He won’t go where He is not welcome. He  went on to say that this place was not within the four walls of the church. Though He said that it is in the room. Meaning that He wants to be in us.

The next part of the prophecy was a call to Himself. Saying we are to come closer to Him. By doing this we will receive exactly what we need to prepare an open heart for Him to dwell in. Which reminds me of some of my thoughts before church. These were of the failings of the “American” church service. And to bring about a change in the way they are happening. Both conclusions have the same answer. Draw closer to Jesus and let Him make the changes. This though is a topic for another day. When we draw closer to Him we will be changed. For the better, even if it doesn’t seem that way at the time.

The prophecy ended with a question. Are we preparing a place for Him? Are we? How willing am I to go to what lengths to have a place for Him? What keeps me from going there? Some of the answers are fear of change. Fear of being branded as a lunatic. Or is it some other reason. It doesn’t matter. Jesus overcame them all for us. So that we can come to Him. So that we can have that special relationship with Him. So that we can be in His presence. I willing are you?

Be blessed, Ken
